SAN DIEGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA a JACOBS MASTERWORKS CONCERT Cristian Măcelaru, Conductor
SAN DIEGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA A JACOBS MASTERWORKS CONCERT Cristian Măcelaru, conductor October 27 and 29, 2017 GEORGES BIZET Suite No. 1 from Carmen (Arr. Fritz Hoffmann) Prelude and Aragonaise Intermezzo Seguedille Les Dragons d’Alcala Les Toréadors WYNTON MARSALIS Violin Concerto in D Major Rhapsody Rondo Burlesque Blues Hootenanny Nicola Benedetti, violin INTERMISSION NIKOLAI RIMSKY-KORSAKOV Scheherazade, Op. 35 The Sea and Sindbad’s Ship The Tale of Prince Kalendar The Young Prince and the Princess The Festival at Bagdad; The Sea; The Ship Goes to Pieces on a Rock Suite No. 1 from Carmen GEORGES BIZET Born October 25, 1838, Paris Died June 3, 1875, Bougival Carmen – Bizet’s opera of passion, jealousy and murder – was a failure at its first performance in Paris in March 1875. The audience seemed outraged at the idea of a loose woman and murder onstage at the Opéra-Comique. Bizet died three months later at age 37, never knowing that he had written what would become one of the most popular operas ever composed. After Bizet’s death, his publisher Choudens felt that the music of the opera was too good to lose, so he commissioned the French composer Ernest Guiraud to arrange excerpts from Carmen into two orchestral suites of six movements each. The music from Carmen has everything going for it – excitement, color and (best of all) instantly recognizable tunes. From today’s vantage point, it seems impossible that this opera could have been anything but a smash success from the first instant. The Suite No. 1 from Carmen contains some of the most famous music from the opera, and it also offers some wonderful writing for solo woodwinds. -

Japanese tourists are fond of this instrument and two of the world’s most famous carillon- neurs come from Antwerp and are playing now carillon also abroad, one in St. Petersburg and one in Lake Wales, Florida. The carillon is an instrument of the world and thus it feels like the world of the carillon is coming home in our city. The city of Antwerp is greatly honored to host the World Carillon Congress 2014. Our city has a fascinating carillon history, which goes back to the end of the 15th century. -
The Elgar Sketch-Books
THE ELGAR SKETCH-BOOKS PAMELA WILLETTS A MAJOR gift from Mrs H. S. Wohlfeld of sketch-books and other manuscripts of Sir Edward Elgar was received by the British Library in 1984. The sketch-books consist of five early books dating from 1878 to 1882, a small book from the late 1880s, a series of eight volumes made to Elgar's instructions in 1901, and two later books commenced in Italy in 1909.^ The collection is now numbered Add. MSS. 63146-63166 (see Appendix). The five early sketch-books are oblong books in brown paper covers. They were apparently home-made from double sheets of music-paper, probably obtained from the stock of the Elgar shop at 10 High Street, Worcester. The paper was sewn together by whatever means was at hand; volume III is held together by a gut violin string. The covers were made by the expedient of sticking brown paper of varying shades and textures to the first and last leaves of music-paper and over the spine. Book V is of slightly smaller oblong format and the sides of the music sheets in this volume have been inexpertly trimmed. The volumes bear Elgar's numbering T to 'V on the covers, his signature, and a date, perhaps that ofthe first entry in the volumes. The respective dates are: 21 May 1878(1), 13 August 1878 (II), I October 1878 (III), 7 April 1879 (IV), and i September 1881 (V). Elgar was not quite twenty-one when the first of these books was dated. Earlier music manuscripts from his hand have survived but the particular interest of these early sketch- books is in their intimate connection with the round of Elgar's musical activities, amateur and professional, at a formative stage in his career. -

Swan Lake Takes out the Classic 100: Dance Countdown
10 JUNE 2018 – EMBARGOED UNTIL 19:01 AEST-- Swan Lake takes out the Classic 100: Dance Countdown Swan Lake has been named Australia’s favourite classical dance music in ABC Classic FM’s Classic 100 Countdown. Australia’s favourite classical music event has celebrated the brilliant diversity, vivid colour and irresistible impulse of dance, by counting down the music that makes its audiences move. Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, one of the world’s most beloved ballets, tells the story of Odette, a princess transformed into a swan by the curse of an evil sorcerer. Australia’s passionate community of music lovers voted in their thousands in the annual campaign by ABC Classic FM, our only national classical music station. Nearly 2000 works were reduced by public voting to the final 100 broadcast this weekend. More than 50% of the performers featured in this flagship event are Australian, exemplifying the ABC’s crucial role in nurturing local talent. ABC Classic FM is dedicated to investing in high-quality and distinctive Australian music and performance, free for all Australians. ABC Classic FM has collaborated with The Australian Ballet to produce three films specifically for the Countdown. Emerging choreographers Alice Topp, Richard House and Ella Havelka created striking new responses to the top three featured works: Swan Lake, The Nutcracker Suite, and Romeo and Juliet. Why Dance, a 3 x 20 minute feature series from the ABC’s Dr Ann Jones, has launched on air on ABC Classic FM, online and on the ABC listen app to mark this year’s theme. In association with The Australian Ballet, Sydney Dance Company and Bangarra Dance Theatre, Ann explores female choreographers in the male- dominated world of ballet, the importance of dance in Indigenous culture, and the healing role of dance in the lives of some everyday Australians. -

I’m not sure I buy that. It was only 1500 years ago, and I don’t think Arabic then was so different from modern Arabic that millions of Arab Muslims make such an elementary mistake. But who knows ... maybe Allah really only did mean that the nearly arrived would be greeted with a plate of figs .. -
