Read Liner Notes
Cover Photo: Paul Winter Consort, 1975 Somewhere in America (Clockwise from left: Ben Carriel, Tigger Benford, David Darling, Paul Winter, Robert Chappell) CONSORTING WITH DAVID A Tribute to David Darling Notes on the Music A Message from Paul: You might consider first listening to this musical journey before you even read the titles of the pieces, or any of these notes. I think it could be interesting to experience how the music alone might con- vey the essence of David’s artistry. It would be ideal if you could find a quiet hour, and avail yourself of your fa- vorite deep-listening mode. For me, it’s flat on the floor, in total darkness. In any case, your listening itself will be a tribute to David. For living music, With gratitude, Paul 2 1.

PERFORMER ROLE CODES Role Code
PERFORMER ROLE CODES To help calculate the share of revenues that individual performers should receive from use of a sound recording, a performer is assigned a contributor category and role code. Role codes are split into a number of types – not all of which are eligible for payment. Each type is further sorted into different instrumental, vocal or studio personnel performances, so that it is easy to identify what each performer contributed to a sound recording. Payable roles are generally ones which provide an audible contribution to the final sound recording. Non-payable roles are generally studio activities which add no audible contribution to the final sound recording. PAYABLE ROLES There are a number of payable roles. These are broken down into groups depending on the activity or instrument being played. See below all of the roles within each group.

Ogoun Badagris for Percussion Ensemble
CLASSICAL SERIES FRIDAY & SATURDAY, MAY 18 & 19, AT 8 PM NASHVILLE SYMPHONY GIANCARLO GUERRERO, conductor JOHANNES MOSER, cello CLASSICAL SERIES PRESENTING PARTNER CHRISTOPHER ROUSE Ogoun Badagris for Percussion Ensemble PIOTR ILYICH TCHAIKOVSKY Variations on a Rococo Theme for Cello and Orchestra, Opus 33 Johannes Moser, cello CONCERT PARTNERS – INTERMISSION – ENRICO CHAPELA Magnetar, Concerto for Electric Cello Johannes Moser, cello AARON COPLAND Symphony for Organ and Orchestra Prelude: Andante BMW OF NASHVILLE Scherzo: Allegro molto Finale: Lento This concert will run approximately one hour MEDIA PARTNER and 50 minutes, including a 20-minute intermission. INCONCERT 31 TONIGHT’S CONCERT AT A GLANCE CHRISTOPHER ROUSE Ogoun Badagris • A major figure in contemporary American orchestral music, Rouse is a professor at the Juilliard School in New York, and his work will be the subject of a forthcoming Nashville Symphony release on Naxos. • Written in 1976 and scored exclusively for percussion, Ogoun Badagris conjures a scene from a Haitian Voodoo ritual. The title of the piece refers to a Voodoo deity, and the various percussion instruments, including cabasa and conga drums, imitate those used in the actual ritual. PYOTR ILYICH TCHAIKOVSKY Variations on a Rococo Theme for Cello and Orchestra, Op. 33 • Though viewed as the epitome of Russian Romanticism, Tchaikovsky also had a strong inclination toward Neoclassicism, as exemplified in this work. • Cello soloist Wilhelm Fitzhagen asked the composer’s permission to make adjustments to the demanding solo part — and wound up taking even greater liberties, making numerous edits and cuts to the piece, to Tchaikvosky’s chagrin. • Fitzhagen’s revisions became the standard version of the Rococo Variations until the 1950s, when a Soviet musicologist published a reconstruction of the original score.
