Edouard Lalo Symphonie Espagnole for Violin and Orchestra, Op. 21
PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Edouard Lalo Born January 27, 1823, Lille, France. Died April 22, 1892, Paris, France. Symphonie espagnole for Violin and Orchestra, Op. 21 Lalo composed the Symphonie espagnole in 1874 for the violinist Pablo de Sarasate, who introduced the work in Paris on February 7, 1875. The score calls for solo violin and an orchestra consisting of two flutes and piccolo, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani, triangle, snare drum, harp, and strings. Performance time is approximately thirty-one minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra's first subscription concert performances of Lalo's Symphonie espagnole were given at the Auditorium Theatre on April 20 and 21, 1900, with Leopold Kramer as soloist and Theodore Thomas conducting. Bizet's Carmen is often thought to have ignited the French fascination with all things Spanish, but Edouard Lalo got there first. His Symphonie espagnole—a Spanish symphony that's really more of a concerto—was premiered in Paris by the virtuoso Spanish violinist Pablo de Sarasate the month before Carmen opened at the Opéra-Comique. And although Carmen wasn't an immediate success (Bizet, who died shortly after the premiere, didn't live to see it achieve great popularity), the Symphonie espagnole quickly became an international hit. It's still Lalo's best-known piece by a wide margin, just as Carmeneventually became Bizet's signature work. Although the surname Lalo is of Spanish origin, Lalo came by his French first name (not to mention his middle names, Victoire Antoine) naturally. His family had been settled in Flanders and in northern France since the sixteenth century. -
An Analysis of Honegger's Cello Concerto
AN ANALYSIS OF HONEGGER’S CELLO CONCERTO (1929): A RETURN TO SIMPLICITY? Denika Lam Kleinmann, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2014 APPROVED: Eugene Osadchy, Major Professor Clay Couturiaux, Minor Professor David Schwarz, Committee Member Daniel Arthurs, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies James Scott, Dean of the School of Music Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Kleinmann, Denika Lam. An Analysis of Honegger’s Cello Concerto (1929): A Return to Simplicity? Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2014, 58 pp., 3 tables, 28 examples, 33 references, 15 titles. Literature available on Honegger’s Cello Concerto suggests this concerto is often considered as a composition that resonates with Les Six traditions. While reflecting currents of Les Six, the Cello Concerto also features departures from Erik Satie’s and Jean Cocteau’s ideal for French composers to return to simplicity. Both characteristics of and departures from Les Six examined in this concerto include metric organization, thematic and rhythmic development, melodic wedge shapes, contrapuntal techniques, simplicity in orchestration, diatonicism, the use of humor, jazz influences, and other unique performance techniques.

and El Corpus en Sevilla) was premiered on May 9, 1906, at the Salle Pleyel in Paris by the pianist Blanche Selva, who later gave the first performance of Volume II {Rondena, Almeria, and Triana) on September 11, 1907, in St. Jean de Luz. Volume III {ElAlbaicin, El polo, Lavapies) was published in 1907 in Paris, Volume IV {Malaga, Jerez, Eritana) also in Paris in 1908, the year before his death. Born in Madrid, violinist-conductor-composer Enrique Fernandez Arbos (1863-1939) was conductor of the Madrid Symphony Orchestra until resigning in 1936 following the outbreak of Civil War. A brilliant orchestrator, his instrumentation of music from Albeniz's flm'flwas particularly popular. From 1894-1915 he taught violin and viola at the Royal College of Music in London. As a violinist he appeared not only as a soloist, but in a celebrated piano trio with Albeniz and the cellist Augustin Rubio. For the 1903-04 season he was a concertmaster of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, also appearing with the orchestra that year as soloist in the Mendelssohn concerto and playing a concert piece of his own {Tango, Opus 6, No. 3). His international conducting career included guest appearances with major orchestras on both sides of the Atlantic, including the BSO in 1929 and 1931; his 1929 program included two movements from his arrangement of Iberia, at that time just recently published. In 1932 he led the first Spanish performance of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. Iberia's pieces typically begin with a dance pattern and later introduce a copla (vocal melody) , but show considerable freedom and variety of form in their fine structure. -

But his parents insisted on a “sensible” career, and Chabrier spent several decades as a minor clerk in the Ministry of the Interior who dabbled in composition in his spare time. Then in the spring of 1882 Chabrier and his wife took a vacation trip to Spain, where – like so many other French composers – he was intoxicated by Spanish music. Back in France, he noted down several characteristic melodies and dance rhythms that he had heard in Andalusia, and from these he fashioned what he called a fantasia for solo piano. When the conductor Charles Lamoureux heard Chabrier play this piece, he urged him to orchestrate it. Lamoureux led the premiere of the orchestral version, now titled España, in Paris on November 4, 1883. It was an instant success, and Chabrier woke the next morning to find himself famous. Even now, 130 years later, España remains his best-known work. -

Pre-concert conversations are sponsored by Washington University Physicians. 23 PROGRAM NOTES PAUL DUKAS Born October 1, 1865, Paris, France Died May 17, 1935, Paris, France The Sorcerer’s Apprentice If ever a piece of music was victim of its own success, it is surely Paul Dukas’ L’apprenti sorcier. Better known in this country as The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (a slightly inaccurate English translation of its title; more precise would be “The Apprentice Sorcerer”), it scored an immediate success and established Dukas, who was not yet 32, as one of France’s important new composers. Dukas’ inspiration for The Sorcerer’s Apprentice was “Der Zauberlehring,” a ballad-like poem written in 1796 by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Goethe’s poem gives a first-person account of the misadventure that befalls a young man who has been taken on as an apprentice to an aged magician.
