WINDS, BRASS, PERCUSSION, AND HARP LISTED ALPHABET/CALLY. PROGRAM NOTES The Infernal Machine . Christopher Rouse Christopher Rouse is currently one of the most sought after composers in the United States. Trained as a percussionist, Rouse studied with great com­ posers such as Karel Husa (1971-73) and George Crumb (1977). In 1993 Rouse won a Pulitzer Prize for his Trombone Concerto (1991), which he de­ dicated to the memory of Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990). The Infernal Machine was originally composed for the University of Michigan Symphony Orchestra for a 1981 European tour pe,formance. The piece is dedicated to Rouse's friend, composer Leslie Bassett (b. 1923). The Infernal Machine dates from the period in Rouse's early output that is char­ acterized by driving rhythms,fast tempos, and intensity bordering on vio­ lence. According to program notes written by the composer, this work shares its title with a play by Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) and is meant to portray a "great self-sufficient machine eternally in motion for no particular purpose." The machine itself is rather sinister in its lack of concern and the occasional sparks, sputters, and grinding of its monstrous gears can be heard in the music Joseph Schwantner (b.1943), another friend of Rouse's, suggested that he make The Infernal Machine part.of an orchestral triptych, and after the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra commissioned the triptych in 1985, The Infernal Machine became the center movement. The triptych is called Phantasmata, and The Infernal Machine is bracketed by The Evestrum of Juan de la Cruz in the Sagrada Familia, 3 A.M, and Bump. Both The Infernal Machine and Bump can be performed as separate pieces. - Note by Alexis Witt Clarinet Concerto, Op. 57 . Carl Nielsen The Danish violinist, conductor, and composer Carl Nielsen wrote his Wind Quintet, Op. 43,for the Copenhagen Wind Quintet in 1921. The pre­ miere was so brilliant that he promised to write a solo concerto for each of the Quintet's members. Unfortunately, his illness and death due to angina and thrombosis allowed him to complete only the Flute Concerto for flutist Holger Gilbert Jespersen in 1926 and the Clarinet Concerto for clarinetist Aage Oxenvad in 1928. Nielsen had certain images of the clarinet. In his writing, he calls the in­ strument "at once warm-hearted and completely hysterical, gentle as balm, and screaming as a streetcar on poorly lubricated rails." The Clarinet Con­ certo is inspired by Oxenvad's extroverted and irascible character, as a cri­ tic commented: "Oxenvad has made a pact with trolls and giants. He has a TEMPER; a primitive force, harsh and clumsy, with a smattering of blue­ eyed Danish amenity. Surely Carl Nielsen heard the sound of HIS clarinet when he wrote the Concerto." Nielsen's style is clear in every aspect of his treatment of rhythm, melody, harmony, and polyphony. The concerto is in one movement, but this is broken up into four main sections-Allegretto un poco, Adagio (slow movement), Alle­ gro non troppo (scherzo), and Allegro vivace (finale) - thatfollows a classical concerto formal structure with cadenzas in the first and third sections. Niel­ sen ensured prominence for the clarinet by banishing flutes, oboes, and clari­ nets from the ensemble. The remaining bassoons, horns, and strings create a distinctive dark color. Considerable conflict occurs between the prominent snare drum and the clarinet throughout the work, similar to Nielsen's Fifth Symphony. The tonal center shifts back and forth between the two main keys of F and E. Although the technique of "progressive tonality" (finishing in a different key to that at the start of the work) was a common feature of his compositions, this concerto begins and ends in the same key of F Aage Oxenvad was the soloist in the premiere of the Clarinet Concerto. It was performed on September 14, 1928, at the home of the Nielsen family's close friend Carl Johann Michaelsen at Humlebaek near Heisinger. Although it took time for Nielsen to write the concerto since he felt he didn't know the clarinet well enough, Oxenvad is quoted by Nielsen biographer Karsten Es­ kildsen as claiming that "he must have been able to play the clarinet himself; otherwise he would never have found exactly the most difficult notes to play." - Note by Maiko Sasaki Symphony No. 8 in G Major, Op. 88 . Antonin Dvorak Originally published in 1889 as Symphony No. 4, Dvofak's Eighth Sym­ phony is unlike any of his preceding symphonies in that it is strongly influ­ enced by folk music. These strong folk associations are the reason that this work is sometimes referred to as a "pastoral" symphony. It is occasionally called the "English Symphony" because Dvorak published the piece with an Engl/sh firm, and subsequently the symphony was very popular in England. Dvorak uses a wide variety of musical ideas and styles ranging from imi­ tations of nature sounds to fanfares and funeral marches. The first move­ ment, Allegro con brio, displays the full range ofpossible orchestral colors through the use of solo instruments, such as the cello and flute, in addition to a liberal use of timpani. The second movement, Adagio, creates a feel­ ing of contentment as it depicts a Bohemian village and its surrounding countryside. Dvorak evokes the pastoral feeling through bird calls and the sounds of a nearby stream, and to further enhance the image of the village and village life, Dvorak even imitates a village band at one point. The third movement, Allegretto, is a graceful and charming waltz. The reserved nature of the waltz gives way in the trio section to a rousing, rustic dance which picks up speed towards the end of the movement and resembles the Dumka, a Czech dance form. The fourth movement, Allegro, is introduced with a trumpet call before progressing into variations on a march theme, which give the impression of a country festival. Expanding his use offolk music further, Dvorak composed his Symphony No. 9 in E Minor, "From the New World," in 1883. As the Eighth made use of Czech folk styles, the primary influence for the Ninth was American folk music. Unfortunately. the Eighth Symphony is often overlooked in favor of the widely popular New World Symphony; however, when taken as a pair, these two remarkable works can be seen as the pinnacle of Dvofak's sym­ phonic writing. - Note by Alexis Witt BIOGRAPHIES Clarinetist MAIKO SASAKI began her clarinet study at the age of seven. Ms. Sasaki holds Bachelor and Master of Music degrees from Japan's finest music school, Tokyo National University of Music and Fine Arts, where she studied with Professor Yuji Murai, a unique solo clarinetist and chamber mu­ sician. Since then, Ms. Sasaki has focused her study on solo performance, re­ ceiving numerous awards such as the Japan Classical Music Competition, the All Japan Soloist Competition, and "The Great Wall of China Cup" Interna­ tional Music Competition.

The energy, excitement, commitment, and intensity are so exciting and wonderful for a composer. Some of the very best performances I’ve ever had have been by the Philharmonic.” — Christopher Rouse _______________________________________ American composer Christopher Rouse will return in the 2013–14 season to continue his two- year tenure as the Philharmonic’s Marie-Josée Kravis Composer-in-Residence.

Mr. Rouse said: “Part of the experience of music should be an exposure to the pulsation of life as we know it, rather than as people in the 18th or 19th century might have known it. It is wonderful that Alan is so supportive of contemporary music and so involved in performing and programming it.” 2 Alan Gilbert said: “I’ve always said and long felt that Chris Rouse is one of the really important composers working today.

The Early Medieval Music (500-1150). i. Early chant traditions Chant (or plainsong) is a monophonic sacred form which represents the earliest known music of the Christian Church. The simplest, syllabic chants, in which each syllable is set to one note, were probably intended to be sung by the choir or congregation, while the more florid, melismatic examples (which have many notes to each syllable) were probably performed by soloists. Plainchant melodies (which are sometimes referred to as a “drown,” are characterized by the following: A monophonic texture; For ease of singing, relatively conjunct melodic contour (meaning no large intervals between one note and the next) and a restricted range (no notes too high or too low); and Rhythms based strictly on the articulation of the word being sung (meaning no steady dancelike beats). Chant developed separately in several European centers, the most important being Rome, Hispania, Gaul, Milan and Ireland. Chant was developed to support the regional liturgies used when celebrating Mass. Each area developed its own chant and rules for celebration. In Spain and Portugal, Mozarabic chant was used, showing the influence of North Afgican music. The Mozarabic liturgy survived through Muslim rule, though this was an isolated strand and was later suppressed in an attempt to enforce conformity on the entire liturgy.

  • Classics 1 Program Notes
    Classics 1: Program Notes The Sights and Sounds of Stockton: Cityscape John Wineglass and San Joaquin Delta College media students In accordance with its mission to inspire joy and build community through music—and with the aim of generating community pride and awareness through art—the Stockton Symphony teamed up with award-winning composer John Wineglass and San Joaquin Delta College media students under the direction of Adriana Brogger and Kirstyn Russell to create a project titled The Sights and Sounds of Stockton. The Delta College media students, all of whom are from the area and live in the various quadrants of our city, fanned out into the community to gather pictures and videos of their daily environment. They brought the raw footage to class and collaborated to edit the “sights” of Stockton into a feature approximately ten to twelve minutes long. Wineglass visited Stockton several times to get a feel for the area, and he worked with the students on the overall scope of the project as well as details of compilation to achieve a compelling outcome. He then composed the accompanying symphonic score for tonight’s live performance with the Stockton Symphony. This week he has also been meeting with composition students to discuss the composition process and how a composer works with visual components, and he engaged in a public forum with students and members of our community to discuss his work on this project. Winner of three Daytime Emmy Awards and recipient of four additional Emmy nominations, John Wineglass has performed on five continents, before five U.S.
