This season’s Composer in Residence Derek Bermel is doing a lot more than taking well-deserved bows, he’s collaborating with veterans from Compass Housing Alliance on a new community- based composition, leading the Seattle Symphony’s Merriman Family Young Composers Workshop, curating two of the inaugural concerts in Octave 9: Raisbeck Music Center, and, oh yeah, composing a new work of his own. Each season the Seattle Symphony partners with local nonprofits as part of the Simple Gifts initiative, aiming to empower individuals experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity through connecting with their creativity. This season Derek is leading the Simple Gifts composition project with veterans who have experienced homelessness. When Bermel is asked about the importance of a composer being embedded in the community, he jumps right to the impact working with veterans in DEREK BERMEL, Seattle has had on him. “I’ve been inspired by their thoughtfulness and resilience, and most notably by their love of music, which COMPOSER IN manifests itself in a variety of ways.” Chris, a Marine veteran who served from 2003–11, including time in Japan and Iraq, RESIDENCE is mostly in awe that a composer from New York would be interested in working with him and his fellow veterans. “To be completely honest, I was really What do you think of when you imagine a expecting a ‘hoity-toity’ group of people What happens living composer? And what does it mean just kind of nitpicking at every little thing when a composer is when a composer is “in residence?” we were saying,” Chris laughs. But he Seattle Symphony audiences are no was curious and wanted to see what it fully embedded in strangers to seeing living composers was all about anyway. In the end he says, at Benaroya Hall. And in the past few “I liked everything, I mean, the whole years, the Seattle Symphony has asked collaboration. I think it’s just the fact that our community? a great deal of these composers, like people care to listen.” Story & photos by James Holt Trimpin and Alexandra Gardner, with their Meanwhile, Elise, a junior at Emerald Ridge roles evolving far beyond the Benaroya High School and one of the talented teens Hall stage to interact with the region in participating in the Young Composers unique and powerful ways.

In classical repertoire, contemporary music is sometimes swept under the rug, and music from our own era is underrepresented. Composers in Residence provide audiences with something they haven’t heard before.” Bermel did just that on April 28 when he presented his own world premiere written for the unique technical capabilities of the Seattle Symphony’s new venue, Octave 9: Raisbeck Music Center. “Composers have a unique gift,” says Laura Reynolds, Vice President of Education & Community Engagement at the Seattle Symphony, “they translate experiences, ideas and the world into the notes on the page that our musicians bring to life. The act of listening is bearing witness to the lives and experience of young people and veterans in our community and translating that into music amplifies their voices and empowers them to unleash their creativity. That is the gift that Derek brings our community.” Photos, clockwise from Support for the inaugural season of artistic programming for Octave 9: Raisbeck Music For the Seattle Symphony, this is what it left: Derek Bermel with Center is generously provided by the Judith A.

encoremediagroup.com/programs 19 PROGRAM NOTES

Johannes Brahms (1833–97): a gifted composer burdened by the shadow of Beethoven. Often when considering Brahms, discussion circles his deferment of symphonic writing until his forties due to an inferiority complex. And yet, in many ways, it is his chamber music rather than his symphonies that reveals the composer’s soul. His close friend and mentor, German composer , viewed Brahms’ compositional promise as a sign of a new generation:

“I have always thought that some day, one would be bound suddenly to appear, one called to express in ideal form the spirit of his time, one whose mastery would not reveal itself to us step by step, but who, like Athene, would spring fully armed from the head of Zeus. And he is come, a young man over whose cradle graces and heroes have stood watch. His name is Johannes Brahms… Even outwardly he bears all those signs that proclaim: here is one of the elect.”

The young Brahms — a mere 21 years old — endeavored to fulfill Schumann’s prophecy as he began work on a two- piano sonata in 1854 that would ultimately become Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor, Op. 15. Deliberating with Clara Schumann, a composer, pianist and the wife of the now-institutionalized Robert, as well as Hungarian violinist and composer Joseph verdi Joachim, Brahms quickly realized that his sonata was too immense for piano alone and began orchestrating his composition. After a year of consideration, Brahms transitioned his two-piano sonata to the RIGOLETTO concerto format. The concerto, which boasts three movements often set as fast–slow–fast, includes the diverse timbres of orchestral AUGUST 10–28 instruments while still providing plenty of space for solo virtuosic playing.

Building from the eventual success of this work, Brahms expanded his repertoire to include a double concerto, Concerto for Violin and Cello in A minor, Op. 102.

The story behind the “Double Concerto” is much more tantalizing than it appears. Brahms and Joachim had been friends since 1853, when they were 20 and 22 respectively. Furthering their friendship, Joachim often looked at Brahms’ works during their compositional process, offering suggestions and encouragement. Their brotherhood was abruptly challenged, however, when Joachim began divorce proceedings from his wife, contralto Amalie Weiss, in 1884. Brahms sided with Weiss, writing her a letter that was later used in court as a character witness against Joachim’s charge of adultery. Joachim was devastated by not only his wife’s supposed affair (allegedly with Brahms’ publisher!) but also by his perception of Brahms’ betrayal. Three and a half years of silence from Joachim followed these events, even though Brahms wrote letters begging forgiveness

Parker’s compositions reflect his time in Munich, influenced most strongly by the works of mid-19th century Germanic masters, though also by more modern composers like Debussy and Elgar. Parker’s single Organ Sonata was composed a few years after his appointment to Yale; the third movement heard tonight is a deft scherzo, full of charm and inventiveness.

Charles Tournemire (1870–1939) was considered as perhaps the finest organist- improviser during the first part of the 20th century in Paris during a period in which all organists were expected to be skilled improvisers. Amongst the last students of César Franck, Tournemire succeeded his mentor as Organist at the Church of St. Clotilde in Paris in 1900. He composed in an extraordinary range of genres but is most remembered for a monumental cycle of chant-based works entitled L’Orgue mystique (the mystical organist), a summation of his preoccupation with chant-based improvisation. In 1930–31, he was invited by Polydor to make a series of recordings at St. Clotilde, including several works by Franck, Tournemire’s
