MUSIC ON SUNDAYS TOYS AND PUPPETS

MUSICAL PLAYTIME FOR THE YOUNG AT HEART

SUN 27 OCT 2019 CONCERT HALL, QPAC

PROGRAM | TOYS AND PUPPETS I WELCOME

Good morning everyone and welcome to our Music on Sundays performance, Toys and Puppets! We are delighted to have our Music Director Alondra de la Parra conducting this fun concert and, as always, we are looking forward to some witty banter from our host Guy Noble. This morning you’ll hear music about toys from all around the globe. Igor Stravinsky wrote music about puppets brought to life during a Russian fair for the ballet Petrushka; French composer Léo Delibes wrote music depicting a life-sized dancing doll for the ballet Coppélia; and American composer Randy Newman wrote the heart-warming score to the Pixar movie Toy Story, depicting the adventures of Woody and Buzz. This is a particularly exciting performance for me because as a double bass player I spend most of my time at the back of the orchestra and this morning I get to take centre stage to perform the Bottesini Double Bass Concerto. Bottesini himself was an incredible virtuoso on the double bass and was also a prominent opera conductor in his time. He toured the world with his double bass and would come out of the pit and onto the main stage to perform his own compositions in the intervals of the operas he was conducting. The concerto I’m performing today is special to me for a few reasons, but perhaps most notably because it was the piece I played in my audition for my job with the Orchestra in 2017. I am very honoured to have the chance to perform as soloist with my beloved Queensland Symphony Orchestra family and I hope you enjoy the concert as much as I know I will!

Léo Delibes (1836–1891) Giovanni Bottesini (1821–1889) Coppélia Double Bass Concerto No.2 in C minor

Mazurka I. Allegro moderato

Suite No.1: This work may well shatter the preconceptions of those who assume the role of the double bass within the orchestra to be solely one of rhythmic and harmonic foundation. Nocturne Bottesini received initial training in his home town of Crema as a singer, timpanist and Czardas violinist before applying to the Milan Conservatory for a scholarship. He took up the double bass as it was one of only two scholarships on offer, and later toured the world as In 1870 Delibes made his name with the ballet Coppélia, ou La fille aux yeux d’émail a leading virtuoso in addition to forging a distinguished career as a conductor (a good (The Girl with Enamel Eyes), based on a lightly gothic tale of E.T.A. Hoffmann. Young friend of Verdi, he led the premiere of Aida in Cairo in 1871). Franz finds himself drawn to a beautiful young woman whom he sees sitting on the balcony of a house and takes to be the daughter of Dr Coppelius. Unbeknown to Franz, Bottesini’s output as a composer was prolific and encompassed several genres, however the house is full of mechanical creatures and the beautiful girl is of course a doll. He is it is for his solo and concertante double bass pieces that he is chiefly remembered, drawn into the house where Dr Coppelius plans to rob him of his life force to animate the extending as he did the expressive and technical capabilities of the instrument. The richly doll, Coppélia, but is saved when his faithful fiancée, Swanilda, intervenes by disguising Romantic Concerto No.2’s opening movement features a beautiful, highly lyrical solo herself as the doll and rescuing him. line, perhaps reflecting Bottesini’s operatic leanings. The dazzlingcadenza attests to his reputation as the ‘Paganini of the double bass’. The ballet includes several national dances, including the Mazurka and Czardas. We hear the Nocturne at the beginning of Act II, as Swanilda and her friends sneak into Dr Coppelius’ workshop. Igor Stravinsky (1882–1971) Suite from Pulcinella Leopold Mozart (1719–1787) Toy Symphony (Sinfonia Berchtolsgadensis) in C, Hob.II:47 1. Sinfonia 7. Vivo I. Allegro 5. Toccata

II. Menuetto In 1919, the Ballets Russes’ impresario Sergei Diaghilev suggested to Stravinsky that III. Finale: Allegro he arrange some pieces by the 18th-century composer Pergolesi (some of which have since been attributed not to Pergolesi, but to his contemporaries). The resulting ballet, Over the years, this symphony has been variously attributed to several composers, Pulcinella, premiered in Paris the following May. including Joseph Haydn and his younger brother Michael. Recent opinion, though, favours Leopold Mozart (court composer, esteemed violin pedagogue, and father of Pulcinella is a stock character of Italian commedia dell’arte (the character’s Russian Wolfgang Amadeus) on the basis that the Toy Symphony’s three movements appear in incarnation, Petrushka, had earlier formed the basis of Stravinsky’s 1911 ballet for the a multi-movement cassation thought to have been composed by him.

Though they evoke rivalry to firm friendship. With ingenious plot devices and a script pleasing in equal a child's world, they are too demanding for children to play. Their charm and ease of measure to film buffs and younger viewers, Toy Story harnessed Pixar’s groundbreaking comprehension, however, quickly put them among Debussy’s most popular music, technology in service of time-honoured, heart-warming storytelling. For the soundtrack which may be partly why he allowed his disciple and friend André Caplet to orchestrate the studio engaged Randy Newman, a musician with an impressive screen composing Children’s Corner in 1910. pedigree (he is the nephew of Golden Age Hollywood composer Alfred Newman) and a knack for writing catchy, witty pop songs. Newman’s big-budget orchestral score received Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum was the title of a collection of graduated studies for the an Oscar nomination, as did his theme song, ‘You’ve Got a Friend in Me’. piano by Muzio Clementi, the bane of budding pianists. Debussy commented: ‘A little humour aimed at old Clementi – a kind of progressive, hygienic gymnastic exercise to © Symphony Services International be played every morning.’

The cakewalk was danced to the syncopated marches of ragtime, then just beginning to be known in Europe. As part of his love-hate relationship with Wagner, Debussy ‘hid’ in the middle of this piece a quotation of the famous opening bars of Tristan and Isolde. The jerky rhythms in Golliwogg’s Cake-Walk are just right for a doll, and make an ironic context for the ‘Wagner’ quote.

Stravinsky Petrushka (1947 version)

1. The Shrove-Tide Fair

Petrushka, the second of Stravinsky’s ballets for the Ballets Russes, started life as a concertante work for piano and orchestra. Stravinsky’s original conception was of ‘a puppet, suddenly endowed with life, exasperating the patience of the orchestra with diabolical cascades of arpeggios’. Diaghilev, however, saw its balletic potential, and Petrushka was staged in Paris in 1911, with Nijinsky dancing the title role of the puppet whose love for the Ballerina is unrequited.

The ballet comprises four tableaux, the first of which is set in a St Petersburg square during the Shrove-Tide fair. Amid the bustle of street performers, vendors’ cries and organ-grinders, a showman pulls back the curtains of his puppet theatre and with his flute charms three puppets to life…
