  • Program Notes by ASO Education Consultant, Susan Wingrove-Reed
    Anchorage Symphony Orchestra Opening Night September 22, 2018 program notes by ASO Education Consultant, Susan Wingrove-Reed George Gershwin Born: 1898 Died: 1937 Cuban Overture George Gershwin dropped out of high school at the age of fifteen to play the piano to help sell sheet music in Tin Pan Alley music stores. Annotator Thomas May marveled, “By the time he was in his twenties he was an established composer with several wildly successful hit tunes and a number of Broadway shows to his credit.” The overture that opens Maestro Randall Craig Fleischer’s 20th season with the ASO was inspired by Gershwin’s 1932 vacation trip to Havana; Of Thee I Sing had just earned its composer the first Pulitzer Prize ever awarded for a musical comedy. The Cuban vacation was pretty wild and included lavish parties hosted by celebrities like millionaire Howard Hughes. Gershwin fondly recalled there were “two hysterical weeks in Havana, where no sleep was to be had, but the quality and quantity of fun made up for that.” He eagerly soaked up the music – dance rhythms, exotic harmonies and lots of traditional percussion instruments, notably the maraca, bongos, gourds and claves. Recharged and inspired when he returned home, he quickly wrote Rumba, a brilliant showpiece to add to an all-Gershwin concert by the New York Philharmonic at Lewisohn Stadium (1932). Attended by over 17,000 people, this was the first time the renowned orchestra presented an entire evening of music by a living composer; Gershwin called it “the most exciting night I have ever had.” Always seeking affirmation as a serious composer, he renamed the scintillating work Cuban Overture for its second performance (at the Metropolitan Opera) – saying the new title gave “a more just idea of the character and intent of the music.” The Cuban Overture has three main parts.

This performance is made possible in part by the Josie Robertson Fund for Lincoln Center. Steinway Piano David Geffen Hall Mostly Mozart Festival I Notes on the Pre-concert Recital By Peter A. Hoyt The first two movements of Haydn’s Sonata in E minor, Hob. XVI:34 seem characteristically Haydnesque: the impetuous Presto is disrupted by unexpected pauses, and the slow middle movement presents a tender imitation of a vocal aria, complete with elaborate coloratura ornamentation. The closing Molto vivace is unusual, however, in its call for an innocent (“innocentemente”) approach. This instruction would seem superflu- ous if, as sometimes assumed, Haydn’s music was always innocuous. Dismissing this, some commentators have suggested that Haydn wanted a performance in a “coy” or “deadpan” fashion. If so, then the word inno- centemente was intended to mean the opposite of “innocently.” Rachmaninoff’s Daisies was first composed as a song for voice and piano contrasting the poetic text, which describes fields of glistening white dai- sies, with the piano’s embodiment of the oscillating flowers themselves. Rachmaninoff’s solo keyboard arrangement eliminates the words and thereby permits an unobstructed encounter with the piano’s enchantingly peaceful illustration of nature.
