Suite from Pelléas et Mélisande Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) Maurice Maeterlinck’s symbolist play Pelléas et Mélisande has been a source of inspiration for a number of composers: in the wake of Debussy’s opera, Schoenberg, Sibelius and Cyril Scott all composed works on the subject. Before any of these eminent modernists turned their attentions to the subject, however, Gabriel Fauré’s score composed for the first performance of the play in English in London in 1898 gained the distinction of being the first music inspired by the drama to be heard in public. Fauré was overworked at the time and so entrusted his pupil Charles Koechlin with the orchestration of the music. Fauré himself subsequently revised three movements for a larger orchestra in 1901, and the addition in 1909 of the famous Sicilienne completed the four movement suite that we hear tonight. The circumstances of the work may seem unlikely, but Fauré made several attempts to establish himself in London. However, he never managed to impress the English as much as did his titled contemporary Dr Edvard Grieg. Indeed, the reception of his music was decidedly lukewarm: “It is scarcely satisfactory, being wanting alike in charm and in dramatic power… its continued absence of tangible form, not to speak of its actual ugliness at many points, is such as to disturb rather than assist the illusion of the scene,” wrote the Times. Such sniffy judgements were not uncommon for a composer who was and often still is dismissed as a purveyor of lightweight salon songs. But this is to misunderstand how his music works. Those looking for lurid expressions of breast-beating despair in the death of Mélisande, for instance, will be disappointed. Fauré’s music eschews melodrama, and prefers to make its point in more undemonstrative, subtly shaded ways. Its exquisitely attractive surface should not blind the listener to its great subtlety and originality, an art that conceals itself. Often seen as a marginal figure of the late nineteenth century, Fauré really deserves to take his place as a farsighted figure of the early twentieth century, whose influence, through such composers as his contemporary Satie and his favourite pupil Ravel, has persisted through a significant strand of the past century; rarely if ever drawing attention to itself, but there nevertheless.

Quiet City Aaron Copland (1900-1990) Early in his career, Copland was so eager to write theatrical music that he composed a score for a nonexistent play: Music for the Theatre, originally called “Incidental Music for an Imaginary Play.” But during the 1930s, Copland became involved in the Group Theater, a company founded by Lee Strasberg and Harold Clurman to present socially relevant drama at popular prices. Copland’s studio at Steinway Hall was even one of the group’s first meeting places. Clurman later recalled that Copland’s own efforts to create a distinctly American body of music had inspired the Group in the beginning. Copland often attended rehearsals, and he became friendly with several of the Group’s members, including Elia Kazan, Clifford Odets—whose 1937 play, The Golden Boy, was one of the troupe’s biggest hits—and Irwin Shaw. Although Irwin Shaw is remembered today as the bestselling author of the 1970 novel Rich Man, Poor Man, which became a successful TV miniseries, he began his career working in radio and writing film scripts and plays. In 1939, after the Group had successfully staged Shaw’s The Gentle People, Copland agreed to write incidental music for a production of Shaw’s Quiet City later that year. “The script,” Copland recalled, “was about a young trumpet player who imagined the night thoughts of many different people in a great city and played trumpet to express his emotions and to arouse the consciences of the other characters and of the audience.” But the story of Gabe Mellon, who had changed his name in rejection of his Jewish background and became a wealthy businessman, and his struggling brother, trumpet player David Mellnikoff, obviously resonated strongly with Copland at the time, and he wrote music of unexpected depth and beauty. When the Group Theater production of Quiet City never made it beyond a couple of tryout performances, Copland decided to salvage parts of his score. During the summer of 1940, while he was teaching at the first season of the Berkshire Music Center at Tanglewood, he fashioned a short “suite” for trumpet and string orchestra from the incidental music, adding a solo english horn “for contrast and to give the trumpeter breathing spaces.” (Copland recycled other music from the complete score for parts of Appalachian Spring.) From the soft, gauzy opening to the haunted, nostalgic trumpet melodies, the piece is a pitch-perfect city scene from the 1930s. Copland was amused when reviewers noted its affinity to Whitman’s “mystic trumpeter” and Ives’s The Unanswered Question, with its yearning trumpet solos. To him, it was simply a portrait

3-3-17 TCO Primary BW insert.indd 5 2/21/2017 12:32:20 PM Program Notes

of Shaw’s restless and troubled trumpet player (Copland marks the opening trumpet solo “nervous, mysterious”). Copland’s short, atmospheric piece has become one of his most performed works, and as Copland pointed out, “David Mellnikoff has long since been forgotten!”

Scène et Air d’Ophélie Ambroise Thomas (1811-1896)

A vos jeux, mes amis, permettez-moi de grâce My friends, please allow me to join De prendre part! Nul n’a suivi ma trace. In your revels! No one has followed me. J’ai quitté le palais aux premiers feux du jour. I left the castle at the first light of dat. Des larmes de la nuit la terre était mouillée, The earth was wet with the tears of night Et l’alouette, avant l’aube éveillée, And the skylark, waking earlier than the sun, Planait dans l’air, ah!... Was soaring through the air, ah!... Mais vous, pourquoi vous parlez bas? But why do you whisper among yourselves? Ne me reconnaissez-vous pas? Do you not recognize me? Hamlet est mon époux, et je suis Ophélie. Hamlet is my husband, and I am Ophelia!

Un doux serment nous lie, A tender promise binds us to each other; Il m’a donné son cœur He gave me his heart En échange du mien. In exchange for mine, Et si quelqu’un vous dit And should you ever hear Qu’il me fuit et m’oublie, That he has left me and forgotten me, N’en croyez rien! Do not believe a word of it! Non, Hamlet est mon époux, No, Hamlet is my husband, Et moi, je suis Ophélie! And I, I am Ophelia. S’il trahissait sa foi, If he should be disloyal, J’en perdrais la raison! It would drive me mad! Partegez-vous mes fleurs! Let me share my flowers with you! A toi cette humble branche For you a humble sprig

Symphony No. 31 in D Major, K. 297 (Paris) W.A. Mozart (1756-1791) In the four years between 1774 and 1778, Mozart wrote no symphonies – which is not to say that he did not write much music of symphonic dimensions. It was, simply, that Mozart produced for performance rather than by format, and the divertimenti, serenades, concerti, etc., that separate K.202 (Symphony No. 30) from K.297(Symphony No. 31) are replete with instances of his broadening mastery of the symphonic principle. Substantially speaking, in the same period, Mozart emerged from adolescence to manhood. The family realized that Salzburg offered no opportunities commensurate with his talent, and, accompanied by his mother, he set out, in September 1777, in quest of an advantageous position. Where it might be found, nobody quite knew. The first objective was Munich, which provided nothing. Augsburg came next, and it too was disappointing. He reached Mannheim, whose Elector was a great music lover, in October, and the future began to look better. Or so Mozart described it in an inimitable exchange of letters with his much-concerned father in Salzburg. In any case, it finally turned out that having gone so far, he might as well go on to Paris and “really” make his fortune. All sorts of plans were evolved for his mother to go back to Salzburg, but none of them worked out. In the end, she set out with him for Paris, which was in all respects tragic, for she became ill some weeks after

their arrival in late March and died in early July. In the sphere of art, however, the challenge of Paris and its busy musical life made the visit memorable before the tragedy occurred. He was invited to write a symphony for a concert series sponsored by an impresario named Le Gros. The available means being ample, he availed himself of them. The challenge being great, he responded to it in the manner of a thoroughbred, which is to say, in a manner beyond anything he had ever accomplished before. It is instructive, also, from Mozart’s report in a letter to his father, to have an insight into his musical thinking: “Just in the middle of the first Allegro there was a passage which I felt sure must please. The audience were quite carried away – and there was a tremendous burst of applause” (Imagine a contemporary audience applauding in mid-movement of a symphony!). “But as I knew, when I wrote it, what effect it would surely produce, I had introduced the passage again at the close – when there were shouts of ‘Da Capo’” (or modern musicians would say, “from the top,” meaning “Let’s play it again”). “The Andante also found favor, but particularly the last Allegro, because, having observed that all last as well as first Allegros begin here with all the instruments playing together and generally unisono, I began mine with two violins only, piano for the first eight bars – followed instantly by a forte; the audience, as I expected, said ‘hush’ at the soft beginning, and when they heard the forte, began at once to clap their hands. I was so happy that as soon as the symphony was over, I went off to the Palais Royal, where I had a large ice, said the rosary – as I had vowed to do – and went home.”

— Irving Kolodin , writing for the Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra of London

DANIEL ALFRED WACHS, Conductor Conductor Daniel Alfred Wachs emerged on the international scene following his debut with the Mozarteum Orchestra of Salzburg in November 2010, leading a world première by Toshio Hosokawa at the Grosses Festspielhaus. The Austrian press praised: “Engaging, rhythmically inspired, precise in its execution, the “Mambo” was equal to a performance by Gustavo Dudamel and the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra!” Wachs has guest conducted Orange County’s Pacific Symphony, the Auckland Philharmonia, the National Symphony Orchestra (as part of the National Conducting Institute), the Sarasota Orchestra, the Fort Worth Symphony, Sinfonia Gulf Coast, the Oakland Symphony, the Monterey Symphony, the Spartanburg Philharmonic, and New York City Ballet at Lincoln Center. Wachs has also served as assistant conductor at the Cincinnati Opera and for the French première of Bernstein’s Candide at the Théâtre du Châtelet, a Robert Carsen co-production with La Scala and the English National Opera. In 2015, Wachs made his debut on the acclaimed new music series Jacaranda: Music at the Edge in Santa Monica, conducting works by Weill and Stravinsky. A pianist as well as a conductor, Wachs’ performance with the Minnesota Orchestra “proved a revelation, delivering a technically impeccable, emotionally powerful performance of two Mozart piano concertos and a pair of solo works,” raved the St. Paul Pioneer Press. With the encouragement of Zubin Mehta, Wachs began his studies with Enrique Barenboim in Tel Aviv before pursuing studies at the Zürich Academy and graduating from The Curtis Institute of Music and The Juilliard School. He has also participated at such festivals at Aspen, Tanglewood and Verbier. Wachs has also been entrusted with preparing orchestras for Valery Gergiev and Vladimir Spivakov, and has served as Assistant Conductor to Osmo Vänskä at the Minnesota Orchestra and at the National Orchestra of France under Kurt Masur. Additionally, he has served as cover conductor for the Houston Symphony and for the Rotterdam Philharmonic on tour. Committed to the cause of music education, Wachs leads the Orange County Youth Symphony Orchestra (OCYSO) and is Music Director of The Chapman Orchestra at Chapman University. Of a recent OCYSO performance, The Los Angeles Times states, “The performance was smashing thanks in no small part to the exceptionally well-practiced pre-professionals.” Both the OCYSO and The Chapman Orchestra were finalists for the 2012 American Prize in Orchestral Performance and OCYSO was the 2012 winner in the youth category. In May 2014, OCYSO was presented by the Philharmonic Society of Orange County to a sold-out Renée & Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall in a performance that included Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and the West Coast Premiere of Mark Anthony Turnage’s “Frieze”. This concert was selected by both the Orange County Register and Los Angeles Times as top picks during the 2013-2014 season and was later broadcast on PBS SoCal. The Orange County Register exclaimed: “Wachs guided the ensemble with energy, precision, and a welcome sense of clarity and poise. The performance wasn’t just good by standards for younger performers, but forceful and exuberant by any standard: genuinely inspiring, technically proficient, structurally sound. The combined choruses were a powerhouse.” During the 2015-16 Season, Wachs and OCYSO joined forces with the Young Musicians Foundation Debut Orchestra of Los Angeles, presenting the United States Premiere of Turnage’s “Passchendaele”, an OCYSO co-commission on the LA Phil’s Sounds About Town series on the stage of the Walt Disney Concert Hall. The concert received ecstatic reviews from Musical America, the Los Angeles Times and the Orange County Register. Wachs also led a joint concert with members of OCYSO and YMF at the acclaimed Sundays Live Series at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. He then took OCYSO on its second international tour with concerts throughout Spain in summer 2016. Under Wachs’ leadership, The Chapman Orchestra completed a survey of Mahler song cycles with baritone Vladimir Chernov and initiated a partnership with LA Opera’s Domingo-Colburn-Stein Young Artist Program. The Chapman Orchestra’s annual Holiday Wassail Concert continues to be distributed nationally on PBS. In Orange County, Wachs was featured in the January 2016 edition of Modern Luxury and selected as one of OC Metro’s 2014 “40 Under Forty” most impressive young professionals. Wachs’ expertise and experience in developing and infusing new life into education concerts has led to repeat engagements with the Monterey and Palm Beach Symphonies. An accomplished opera conductor and collaborative pianist, Wachs has led Albert Herring, Suor Angelica and Gianni Schicchi Cosi fan tutte, Le Nozze di Figaro, The Impresario, Amahl and the Night Visitors, acts from La Traviata and Die Fledermaus and the operas La Divina and Signor Deluso by Pasatieri. He has Accompanied tenor William Burden in recital and recently made his debut on the LA Philharmonic Chamber Music Series at Walt Disney Concert Hall.
