December 8, 2016 3 4 December 8, 2016 Message from the Music Director Dear Friends, It is my great pleasure to welcome you to our final concert of 2016. This event marks a great partnership photo by Rodrigo de Souza with BBC Scottish Symphony and Pittsburgh Symphony in co-commissioning Macmillan’s fourth symphony. You may remember James Macmillan from our 2010/11 season, when we performed his riveting Seven Last Words from the Cross. His music, even when secular, is imbued with a deep spirituality. The work presented tonight pays tribute to a great influence on Macmillan, Robert Carver, in particular his Missa sum Sacrum Mysterium. The idea of 4ths continues in our program as we will be playing Beethoven’s fourth piano concerto with the wonderful Shai Wosner. Last time we collaborated in Berkeley, Shai amazed us by playing Ligeti’s piano concerto. I am very happy to welcome Shai back in a completely different context, in which we will again enjoy not only his sheer clarity and virtuosity, but also his introspective and sensitive qualities. This is what Berkeley Symphony is about, moving us through the history of music with great relationships with composers like Macmillan and performers like Wosner. Once again, thank you for your continued support. I wish you musical, peaceful and happy holidays and can’t wait to welcome you back in 2017. Joana Carneiro December 8, 2016 5 6 December 8, 2016 Message from the Board President Welcome, all, to this, our second concert of the season! We are excited to once again welcome pianist Shai Wosner to our stage and also Elim Chan, our guest conductor for this photo © Margaretta K. Mitchell evening. Our 16/17 season continues to bring you the very best from your Berkeley Symphony! As we continue to strive to curate the perfect experience for you, our audience and loyal patrons, you will soon be hearing from Berkeley Symphony. We want to know your thoughts and feelings and engage you in a dialogue with us so that we can know and meet your needs. It is vital for orchestras to work to preserve and keep alive this important art form. Berkeley Symphony is committed to bringing you new and adventurous works, classic masterpieces, and support a strong arts education in classical music with our award-winning Music in the Schools program. Music is binding, healing, and inspiring. We want to make YOUR experience with the Berkeley Symphony a great one and very much look forward to hearing from you. This evening, please sit back and enjoy James MacMillan’s Symphony No. 4, a US Premiere that we have commissioned for you in partnership with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Pittsburgh Symphony, as well as the familiar Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 4. We at Berkeley Symphony wish you happy holidays and look forward to seeing you next in January. Warm regards, Tricia Swift December 8, 2016 7 8 December 8, 2016 Message from the Executive Director Dearest Friends, Welcome to the second concert of our season, an evening filled with photo by Marshall Berman music that embodies the transcendent power of hope. Berkeley Symphony is committed to bringing you adventurous programming in each and every performance. Tonight is no exception as we share with you the US premiere of James MacMillan’s Symphony No. 4—a piece that is reverential and truly soulful, a vehicle transporting us away from the material world into the realm of the spirit. These words have also described Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4, a piece which is deeply spiritual, as if Beethoven somehow feeling trapped in a dark place is looking up at the light, hoping for peace and solace. The incomparable pianist Shai Wosner takes us on this enlightening journey. With their innovation and passion, Beethoven and MacMillan reflect the heart and soul of Berkeley and offer us a perfect evening of reflection and inspiration. I wish you all a very healthy, joyous and prosperous holiday season!

  • AN ANALYSIS of “SEVEN LAST WORDS from the CROSS” (1993) by JAMES MACMILLAN by HERNHO PARK DISSERTATION Submitted in Partial
    AN ANALYSIS OF “SEVEN LAST WORDS FROM THE CROSS” (1993) BY JAMES MACMILLAN BY HERNHO PARK DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Music with a concentration in Choral Music in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Barrington Coleman, Chair Professor Carlos Carrillo, Director of Research Professor Michael Silvers Professor Fred Stoltzfus ABSTRACT James MacMillan is one of the most well-known and successful living composers as well as an internationally active conductor. His musical language is influenced by his Scottish heritage, the Catholic faith, and traditional Celtic folk music, blended with Scandinavian and European composers including Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992), Alfred Schnittke (1943-1998), and Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971). His cantata for choir and strings Seven Last Words from the Cross, was commissioned by BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) television, composed in 1993, and premiered in 1994 by Cappella Nova and the BT (British Telecom) Scottish Ensemble. While this piece is widely admired as one of his best achievements by choral conductors and choirs, it is rarely performed, perhaps due to its high level of difficulty for both the string players and singers. The purpose of this dissertation is to present an analysis of the Seven Last Words from the Cross by James MacMillan aimed to benefit choral conductors rather than audiences. Very little has been written about MacMillan's choral works. My hope is to establish a foundation on which future scholars may expand and explore other choral works by MacMillan.

Program Notes Concerto for Bassoon GORDON JACOB (1895-1984) This reduction of Gordon Jacob’s Concerto for Bassoon, Strings and Percussion consists of three movements in which Jacob takes full advantage of the bassoon’s potential for comedy, while also exploring its more lyrical side. The cheerful first movement begins with a scale that is progressively taken apart and put back to- gether. A middle interlude creates a slightly heavier mood while the soloist takes up a more melancholy theme. But, after a period of quickening, the cheerful opening theme returns. In the second movement, the piano provides an ethereal accompa- niment of a gentle, plaintive melody played by the bassoon. The third movement is an exciting presentation of the bassoon's technical abilities. A slower middle section again displays Jacob’s more emotional side.

  • Sound out Loud Ensemble New Arts Venture Challenge Grant Proposal
    Sound Out Loud Ensemble New Arts Venture Challenge Grant Proposal April 5, 2016 Satoko Hayami DMA Candidate in Collaborative Piano, School of Music Executive Summary History and Makeup of Sound Out Loud Sound Out Loud (SOL) is a new music ensemble that recently launched in Madison. SOL is comprised of 7 forward­looking, classically trained musicians, which includes 2 pianists, 1 percussionist, 1 flutist, 1 clarinetist, 1 violinist and 1 cellist. The group is lead by pianists Satoko Hayami and Kyle Johnson, a percussionist Garrett Mendelow. Mission SOL’s mission is to create a growing circle of musicians and audiences to share the excitement of the innovative, contemporary language of newly/recently composed classical music through a series of creative concerts and presentations primarily in the city of Madison. SOL also commissions works of young upcoming composers to enrich the repertoire of the genre. SOL believes that progressive new classical music expands the audience’s existing perspectives of music, and therefore further enhances their appreciation toward music in general. SOL also understands that new music’s relatable contemporary language helps the audience reconnect with conventional classical music, as inherited by contemporary classical music. Through commitment to contemporary classical music, SOL’s hope is to cultivate a sense of freedom toward classical music as well as toward other aspects of life, without the limitation of a conventional concept of music. Method SOL thrives to present high­energy performances of dynamic programs which are intellectually and emotionally inspirational for a wide array of audiences (including both classical music lovers and non classical music lovers).

  • Ewert Dmus Essay Final
    Liturgy as Mediation in James MacMillan’s Búsqueda and Cantos Sagrados by Benjamin Charles Ewert A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Music Department of Music University of Alberta © Benjamin Charles Ewert, 2020 Abstract In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Scottish composer James MacMillan wrote a series of pieces using the poetic texts of persecuted peoples in Latin America and liturgical and other sacred texts of the Christian faith. Though Búsqueda and Cantos Sagrados were composed in two distinct genres, MacMillan built a framework of response to political repression in both by using liturgy and sacred texts as the scaffolding. These early compositions mark the commencement of an important period for MacMillan. During this time, he establishes himself as a modernist drawing on the traditional roots of his Catholic faith and cultural roots of his Scottish heritage. MacMillan amplifies the plight of persecuted peoples using sacred themes juxtaposed against secular events and texts. His symbiotic approach would eventually lead to his recognition as an internationally established composer with The Confession of Isobel Gowdie, Veni, veni Immanuel, and Seven Last Words. The manner in which MacMillan blends media (means of communication), particularly poetry (secular) and liturgy (sacred), using a stratified approach that often places two diametrically opposed themes in close proximity, allows for an enrichment of meaning and a mediated space in which an attempt is undertaken to reconcile complex issues of pain, loss, hope, and forgiveness. This essay examines the method by which MacMillan establishes such a framework in Búsqueda and Cantos Sagrados and argues that in the merging of diverse forms of media, meaning is deepened and enriched to the greater success of the mediation.
