PROGRAM NOTES

Overture Festivo, Op. 96 Dmitri Shostakovich Dimitri Shostakovich wrote Festive Overture in A major in 1937 to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution, a pivotal revolt that helped overthrow the Tsarist autocracy and establish the Soviet Union. The piece features swift scalar runs, fleet marches, and lyrical melodies book-ended by triumphant fanfares. Cello Concerto No. 1 in C major, Hob. VIIb/1 Joseph Haydn Transcribed for viola (1732-1809) Concerto for Alto Saxophone and Orchestra Henri Tomasi I. Moderato Arr. Aleksandre Roderick-Lorenz Written in 1949, Henri Tomasi dedicated his Concerto for Alto Saxophone and Orchestra to French Saxophonist Marcel Mule. After Aleksandre Roderick-Lorenz, viola, conductor melancholy opening statements by the saxophone, orchestral melodies present dark but energetic moods to lay a foundation for the soloist’s variations on the opening theme. Dynamic contrasts between phrases characterize the first movement. ~Intermission~

Amongst his finest concerti, his Cello Concerto I. Introit et Kyrie (1845-1924) No. 1 in C major, Hob VIIb: 1, stands as one of the most brilliant and II. Offertory formative works ever written for the instrument. The first movement III. Sanctus exemplifies the sonata form utilised predominantly in the early classical IV. Pie Jesu era. The orchestration reflects the baroque concerto grosso because of V. Agnus Dei the size of the ensemble, comprising of two horns, two oboes, strings VI. Libera me and basso continuo. Aleksandre Roderick-Lorenz transcribed the work VII. In Paradisum for viola as it naturally fits the wonderful range of the instrument and displays its major virtuosic capacities. Syracuse University Concert Choir Emma Brenner, soprano Requiem in D minor, Op. 48 Gabriel Fauré Jack Kreuzer, baritone Gabriel Fauré wrote his Requiem in D minor between 1887 and 1890. The movements are set in Latin with the exception of the Kyrie, which retains Kione (Biblical) Greek. A marvel of orchestration, Fauré’s
