(516) Symphony No. 6, in B minor, " Pathetique," Opus 74. Peter Ilyitch Tschaikowsky. This symphony was published and performed very shortly before his death. It is supposed that he meant the last movement, Adagio lamentoso, to be his own Requiem. The first movement opens with a brief introduction, Adagio in B minor (4-4 time), based upon a slow version of a figure taken from the first theme of the ensuing Allegro. This is given out in the lower register of the bas- soon, against dark, sombre harmonies in the violas, 'celli, and double- basses. The main body of the movement, Allegro non troppo in B minor (4-4 time), opens with the exposition of the strenuous, sighing first theme in four-part harmony, at first in the divided violas and 'celli, then in the flutes and clarinets. This theme is then concisely developed by the strings, and followed by a first subsidiary, first given out pianissimo by the strings, and then developed in double counterpoint by them and the wood-wind. Here we have a good example of Tschaikowsky's love for sharp contrasts : at first the contrast is one of color, between the warm brown, so to speak, of the violas and 'celli, and the brighter tints of the flutes and clarinets, in the exposition of the first theme ; then comes the contrast in rhythmic and melodic character, between the lightly skipping upper and middle voices, and the smoothly flowing bass of the subsidiary — a contrast which well fits this latter for being developed in double counterpoint. The con- trapuntal development of the subsidiary is followed by a long crescendo climax of passage-work for fuller and fuller orchestra on figures from the ATonk FOR BRAIN-WORKERS, THE WEAK AND DEBILITATED. Horsford's Acid Phosphate Is, without exception, the Best Remedy for relieving Mental and Nervous Exhaustion ; and, where the system has become debilitated by disease, it acts as a general tonic and vitalizer, affording sustenance to both brain and body.

When this long climax, which has almost the char- acter of actual working-out, has reached its apex, a decrescendo sets in, with solemn harmonies in the trombones and tuba, over a restless, nervous bass in the 'celli ; a cantabile phrase in the latter now leads over to the second theme almost exactly in the way we find in some of Weber's overtures. The tempo now changes to Andante ; the key is D major (relative major of the tonic). The muted first violins and 'celli sing the cantilena of the sec- ond theme " teneramente, molto cantabile, con espansione " in octaves, against gently swelled and diminished harmonies in the lower wood-wind and horns. The second subsidiary, Moderato mosso in D major, follows hard upon it, a gracefully rising and falling phrase given out alternately by the flute and the bassoon, over a string accompaniment in a strongly marked rhythm. The development of this second subsidiary is very extended, and leads at last to a strong return of the second theme, sung in double octaves by the violins and violas, now unmuted, against a homophonic accompani- ment in repeated triplets (so-called " Gounod triplets ") in the other strings, wood-wind, and horns. This melody is now furiher developed than at first, an augmentation of one of the figures from the first theme assuming more and more importance as a counter-theme, and at last almost the character of a conclusion-theme. Recitative-like repetitions of parts of the second theme by the clarinet, over soft chords in the strings and a subdued roll in the kettle-drums, bring the first part of the movement to a close. So far, the general principles of the sonata-form have been well adhered to, although the development has been somewhat excessive and over-elabo- rate for the first part of a symphonic movement. But, from this point on, nearly all traces of sonata-form are lost, and the rest of the movement might be called a long free fantasia ; in this respect the movement resem- bles the first in Schumann's D minor symphony, which also is wanting in New England Conservator!] of music FOUNDED IN 1853 BY DR.

To be sure, this movement of Tschaikowsky's is not wholly wanting in, at least rudimentary, indications of a third part : after the long and elaborate 'free fantasia proper, in which nearly all the thematic material of the movement is thoroughly worked out, the first theme does at last re- turn ; but by no means in its original shape, and not in the tonic.

Blair Bollinger Cavatine, Op. 144 (1915) Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921) This recital is given in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Bachelor of Music Education in Instrumental Concentration. Mr. Nguyen is a student of Dr. David Begnoche. Concert pour Trombone et Piano ou Orchestre (1924) Launy Grøndahl Launy Grøndahl started his professional career at the age of thirteen when he was assigned his first work as a violinist with the Orchestra of the Casino Theatre in Copenhagen. Following in the footsteps of Denmark’s most prominent composer, Carl Nielson, Grøndahl started his work as both a conductor and a composer, becoming the resident conductor of the Danish National Symphony Orchestra as well as writing symphonies, chamber music, and concertos. Written while Grøndahl was spending time in Italy, his trombone concerto has been regarded as one of his best known works and has also cemented itself as one of the major works for the instrument. The first movement starts prominently with this piece’s famous motif that maintains a strict rhythmic structure before transitioning to more fluid and rubato ideas, a musical juxtaposition that will appear frequently throughout the entire concerto. The second movement continues this idea of juxtaposition as it alternates between a darker, less stable andante grave section and a calmer, more delicate mosso section, before surprising the listeners with a dramatic and emotional ad lib figure.

  • A Thousand Nineteenth-Century Belgian Songs
    A Thousand Nineteenth-Century Belgian Songs Barbara Mergelsberg Since Belgium’s independence from the Netherlands in 1830, vocal music has played an important role in the country’s cultural life. Belgium’s original art song repertoire, whose style can be seen as linking German lied and French mélodie , rarely appears on concert programs. The following concise overview aims to revisit Belgium’s neglected nineteenth century art song heritage of over a thousand songs. Along the way, it provides some historical and cultural information about Belgium, as well as musical examples and practical information for performers. The essay consists of two parts. The first part discusses chosen works of a few prominent composers of the early generation born before 1840. The second part looks at selected composers of the second generation born between 1840 and 1870. Composers of the First Generation César Franck (1822-1890) • Adolphe Samuel (1824-1898) • Eduard Lassen (1830-1904) Peter Benoit (1834-1901) • Jean-Théodore Radoux (1835-1911) When César Franck and Adolphe Samuel were born, Belgium was under Dutch rule and did not yet exist as a sovereign country. It only earned its independence in 1830, shortly before Franck entered the Royal Conservatory of Liège. Belgium’s official language in the nineteenth century was French. The Flemish language spoken in the north was discarded as the language of the peasants and the poor, which, unsurprisingly, triggered a strong Flemish national movement against this unjust situation. Belgium’s ethnic mixture and its linguistic tensions were present from its very beginnings. The country’s territory at that time did not yet encompass the German-speaking community.
