It is a happy fact that there are some five hundred ladies in the Boston area who, many with their husbands, have been Friends of the Boston Symphony Orchestra regularly for twenty-five years or more, and their contributions have totaled over one million dollars. The Trustees and the Council of Friends of the Boston Symphony Orchestra will honor these "Silver Anniversary Friends" on Monday, November 7th, at 3:30 p.m., with a private concert by the Boston Symphony Chamber Players and a champagne reception afterward, at the Isabella Stewart Gard- ner Museum. Invitations have been mailed for this significant occasion, which was arranged through the courtesy of the Trustees of the Gardner Museum. The Trustees, delighted at such an impressive number of Friends with so imposing a record of support, have asked the Council of Friends to plan this special thank-you concert as its first major activity of the season. Members of the Council and the Trustees will be present to greet the honored guests who have made such an important contribution to the life of the Orchestra through their many years of generosity. [7] "I'm sure Father would have wanted me to have a Rolls." We're used to being given plenty of rope in our work as trustee. And most of the time the requests we get are reasonable. But every once in a while, a beneficiary throws us a curve. Then we have to be firm. That's why this young man probably won't get his Rolls Royce. Acting as trustee — as executor or guardian, too — is a big and responsible job. We try to face each problem with a steady eye to both sides of the equation — the financial and the human. We feel it is this basic philosophy, as much as anything else, that has made us the largest trust institution in New England. We'll be glad to work with you and your lawyer to make your future plans come true.

BOSTON • CHESTNUT HILL • SOUTH SHORE PLAZA [10] SYMPHONY IN G MINOR, K. 550 By Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Born in Salzburg, January 27, 1756; died in Vienna, December 5, 1791 This Symphony was composed in July, 1788, in Vienna. The original orchestration calls for flute, 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns and strings. Mozart subsequently added parts for 2 clarinets, and this version is used in the present performances. IN the last four years of his life, Mozart, not called upon for sym- phonies, turned once to the form. In the summer of 1788, within seven weeks, he wrote the three which have become famous above all that preceded. Mozart in that year was obliged to write nothing better than Court dances for his Emperor, to which he added small pot- boilers on commission, and the Piano Concerto in D minor.

  • Why Is Op. 6 Still So Difficult to Understand?
    Why is op. 6 still so difficult to understand? Among composers who hold that complexity alone is certain good, Alban Berg’s Drei Orchesterstücke are often invoked as a kind of foundational scripture. A glance at almost any page of the note-dense score would appear to support their view. Passages like bars 90–95 of the second movement, Reigen, or the climactic Höhepunkt of the third movement, Marsch, (bar 126) leave the advocates of complexity in no doubt: Berg has penetrated to the dark centre of the expressionist labyrinth. But how justified is this idea? In this essay, I will suggest that other aspects of op. 6 contradict it. For instance, Berg’s H and N signs, denoting main and subsidiary themes, run almost continuously throughout the work. This Ariadne’s thread (when it is made clear by the performance) makes listening to op. 6 surprisingly straightforward, at any rate melodically. In plain language, there is always a tune to hang on to. Furthermore, a short-score version of the work reveals a four-voice texture not more complicated for much of its duration than the orchestral textures of Mahler or Strauss. My observations here grew out of making a two-piano version of op. 6, and I would like to elucidate especially, though not exclusively, points that become clearer from examining the work in two-piano form. 1 The case for a basic simplicity may be overstated also, and one can begin by conceding that in some instances Berg’s relish for piling up notes has got the better of his musical 1 Alban Berg, Drei Orchesterstücke op.

    Bb and C Rotary Trumpets in Orchestras of the United States: Perspectives from Professional Orchestral Trumpet Players on the Use, Audition Considerations, and Current Makes/Models D.M.A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Music in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Whitney Rose Davis, M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2020 D.M.A. Document Committee: Timothy Leasure, Advisor Bruce Henniss David Bruenger Danielle Fosler-Lussier Copyright By Whitney Rose Davis 2020 Abstract Information regarding rotary trumpets in the United States is sparse and difficult to find, being limited to, mainly, snippets of interviews with individual players talking generally about their careers, and short paragraphs within larger works. This study is based on interviews with numerous professionals from top U.S. orchestras about their experiences regarding Bb and C rotary trumpets within the current classical music scene. Interviews collected information regarding equipment preference, pieces and orchestral audition excerpts that are performed with rotary trumpets, how the instruments feel and sound, and considerations for new players. In addition to the information from the interviews, this study includes a chart of current manufacturers and models of Bb and C rotary trumpets (and the features available) as well as a compiled list of all pieces which have been requested for trumpet orchestral auditions in the United States. i Acknowledgements My sincere thanks goes out to all of my committee members: Thank you, Professor Timothy Leasure, for your extreme patience and understanding through this doctoral program. It has been a pleasure to work with you for so long.
