His most extraordinary act was to recruit 150 prisoners and teach them Verdi’s Requiem by rote in a dank cellar using a single score, over multiple rehearsals, and after grueling days of forced labor. The Requiem was performed on 16 occasions. The last, most infamous performance occurred on June 23, 1944 before high-ranking SS officers and the International Red Cross to support the charade that the prisoners were treated well and flourishing.

That question eventually led him to create Defiant Requiem, a concert-drama that includes a complete performance of Verdi’s Requiem. The mission of the performance and of The Defiant Requiem Foundation is to preserve the memory of the prisoners in Terezín, who, despite monumental suffering, disease, and the constant presence of death, found hope and inspiration in the arts and humanities. Murry Sidlin is the president and creative director of The Defiant Requiem Foundation, an organization that sponsors live concert performances of Defiant Requiem: Verdi at Terezín, as well as other projects.

The project, inspired by the poem “The Butterfly” written in 1942 by a child in a concentration camp, calls upon children to take a stand against intolerance by creating a butterfly to represent endurance, change, hope and life. By making the butterflies, the children have expressed themselves, and seen how their small work contributes to the completed whole—just as small acts against injustice can ultimately create an environment where hate cannot flourish.

Included among film excerpts are moments from the propaganda film about Terezin, “The Führer Gives the Jews a City” which was made by prisoner Kurt Gerron as ordered by the Nazis.

  • PROGRAM NOTES Wolfgang Mozart Clarinet Concerto in a Major, K
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Wolfgang Mozart Born January 27, 1756, Salzburg, Austria. Died December 5, 1791, Vienna, Austria. Clarinet Concerto in A Major, K. 622 Mozart composed this concerto between the end of September and mid-November 1791, and it apparently was performed in Vienna shortly afterwards. The orchestra consists of two flutes, two bassoons, two horns, and strings. Performance time is approximately twenty-nine minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s first performance of Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto was given at the Ravinia Festival on July 25, 1957, with Reginald Kell as soloist and Georg Solti conducting. The Orchestra’s first subscription concert performance was given at Orchestra Hall on May 2, 1963, with Clark Brody as soloist and Walter Hendl conducting. Our most recent subscription concert performances were given on October 11 and 12, 1991, with Larry Combs as soloist and Sir Georg Solti conducting. The Orchestra most recently performed this concerto at the Ravinia Festival on July 15, 2001, with Larry Combs as soloist and Sir Andrew Davis conducting. This concerto is the last important work Mozart finished before his death. He recorded it in his personal catalog without a date, right after The Magic Flute and La clemenza di Tito. The only later entry is the little Masonic Cantata, dated November 15, 1791. The Requiem, as we know, didn’t make it into the list. For decades the history of the Requiem was full of ambiguity, while that of the Clarinet Concerto seemed quite clear. But in recent years, as we learned more about the unfinished Requiem, questions about the concerto began to emerge.

UNA APROXIMACIÓN HERMENÉUTICA GUILLERMO SCARABINO Resumen El Requiem Alemán de Brahms ha sido objeto de numerosos análisis teológico- musicológicos, debido principalmente a dos características peculiares: 1. es una obra del género requiem que no utiliza el texto de la Missa pro defunctis, sino que emplea una selección de textos bíblicos elegidos por su autor, y 2. su contenido motívico deriva de manipulaciones sobre la melodía del coral Wer nur den lieben Gott lässt walten, que aparecen a lo largo de los 7 números de la obra. Este trabajo pone de relieve la existencia de un motivo autónomo, independiente del contenido del coral, que aparece en cinco de los siete números y al que el autor asigna la representación simbólica de la Redención.

  • Grande Messe Des Morts: Hector Berlioz's Romantic Interpretation Of
    GRAND MESSE DES MORTS: HECTOR BERLIOZ'S ROMANTIC INTERPRETATION OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC REQUIEM TRADITION Amber E. Broderick A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC December 2012 Committee: Arne Spohr, Advisor Eftychia Papanikolaou © 2012 Amber E. Broderick All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Arne Spohr, Advisor Hector Berlioz (1803-1869) was commissioned by the French government in 1836 to compose a requiem mass for a state ceremony and to restore sacred music to a respected position in France. Berlioz envisioned a requiem that both continued the Roman Catholic requiem tradition and expanded it in context of the Romantic era and Kunstreligion. Berlioz conceived his Grande messe des morts (Requiem) as a “music drama,” in which the thirteenth-century Latin prose wa s used as secular poetry rather than an immutable sacred text. Berlioz’s Requiem is not religious in strict theological terms but relates more closely to what Frank Heidlberger calls an artistic statement of “secular moral philosophy.” Berlioz devised a first-person physiological narrative which presented the listener with a private emotional experience, achieving this psychological journey, in part, through a Romantic interpretation: textual alterations, programmatic orchestration, and the innovative use of antiphonal brass orchestras. The text was freely edited and rearranged to produce a libretto-type program, which Edward Cone deems a “dramatic portrayal of an imaginary progress through this world and the next.” Berlioz enhanced his interpretation by shifting from the traditional third-person perspective to the first-person. This adjustment required minimal changes to the text but maximum changes for the listener, who experienced a personal journey focused on the individual, rather than the divine.

  • The Laguardia Bell Tower Carillon
    The LaGuardia Bell Tower Carillon By Frank Angel Although the LaGuardia Tower has housed a carillon from the very first days it opened its doors, details about the original carillon are sketchy at best. About the only thing we know is that is was a manual operation with the bells struck by hand. A carillonneur had to go up to the tower and manually strike the bells. There is no record of who manufactured it or any details of the original design or how many bells were used. Only a cork-covered "sounding" room which housed the system and a few rusted tubular bells are all that remain of that first instrument which indicate that it may only have been able to play the simple Westminster, four note melody. How it was played, how often or by whom, remains a mystery. The first automated carillon capable of playing a double octave of notes and full melodies on campus was installed circa 1959 in the LaGuardia Tower by the Schulmerich Carillon Company of Pennsylvania. It consisted of eight tuned sounding rods which struck the familiar Westminster melody sequence on the quarter hours as well as striking the hour. The entire clockworks were driven by electro-mechanical components -- a mass of metal rods, pins, relays and motors. Except for the occasional mechanical failure, it was used on a daily basis for nearly twenty years. In 1986, the 17-year- old Schulmerich instrument broke down beyond repair. The carillon and the LaGuardia Tower with its blue-lighted belfry and amber turret lights had long become a cherished fixture of campus life, while the LaGuardia Tower and gold Dome had become the very symbol of Brooklyn College.

  • PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Johannes Brahms Born May 7, 1833, Hamburg, Germany. Died April 3, 1897, Vienna, Austria. Ein deutsches Requiem, Op. 45 The earliest music in Brahms's Ein deutsches Requiem (A German requiem) dates from 1854; six of the seven movements were completed in August 1866. The first three movements were premiered in Vienna on December 1, 1867. Brahms added a movement in fifth place in May 1868, and the first performance of the complete work was given in Leipzig on February 18, 1869. The score calls for four-part chorus, soprano and baritone soloists, and an orchestra consisting of two flutes and piccolo, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons and contrabassoon, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones and tuba, harp, timpani, organ, and strings. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra's first subscription concert performances of Brahms's A German Requiem were given at the Auditorium Theatre on April 15 and 16, 1898, with Minnie Fish-Griffin and Charles W. Clark as soloists, the Chorus of the Association (Arthur Mees, director), and Theodore Thomas conducting. Our most recent subscription concert performances were given at Orchestra Hall on February 18, 19, and 20, 1999, with Dorothea Röschmann and Thomas Quasthoff as soloists, the Chicago Symphony Chorus (Duain Wolfe, director), and Daniel Barenboim conducting. The Orchestra first performed this requiem at the Ravinia Festival on June 30, 1983, with Kathleen Battle and Håkan Hagegård as soloists, the Chicago Symphony Chorus (Margaret Hillis, director), and James Levine conducting; and most recently on August 2, 1997, with Rebecca Evans and Thomas Hampson as soloists, the Chicago Symphony Chorus (Duain Wolfe, director), and Christoph Eschenbach conducting.
