Drawing on materials preserved in the BSO Archives, including photographs, correspon- dence, and manuscript scores, the exhibit traces the BSO's commissioning activity back to the years directly preceding the BSO's fiftieth anniversary, when then BSO Music Director Serge Koussevitzky urged the Board of Trustees to commission new works in celebration of that anniversary. Shown here are Serge Koussevitzky, who was music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra from 1924 to 1949, and the manuscript first page of Igor Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms, a BSO fiftieth-anniversary commission which became one of the most significant works in the orchestral repertory.

So too were the marching bands in which he played clarinet as a young student. Learning the basic European DU canon in front of the family Magnavox, Adams readily O assimilated it alongside the crazy quilt of American vernacular R music he encountered in the early postwar decades. Duke Ellington is a recurrent inspiration, and Adams’s love of jazz— which returns in unexpected forms, such as the improvisatory NT I “hypermelody” of the Violin Concerto (1993) or the electric violin’s raga-like musings in The Dharma at Big Sur (2003)— was early nurtured by his parents’ activities in jazz groups. As a student at Harvard during the cataclysmic upheavals of the late Sixties, Adams experienced the cognitive dissonance of the arid pronouncements of contemporary serialists when confronted with the fresh, Dionysian inventiveness of this golden age of rock.
