SOUNDS FROM THE DEEP THE BEAUTY AND POWER OF WATER

SUN 4 AUG 2019 CONCERT HALL, QPAC

PROGRAM | SOUNDS FROM THE DEEP I © David Kelly WELCOME

Welcome to Sounds from the Deep.

This year marks 45 years since I joined Queensland Symphony Orchestra as Principal Harpist, a record for this position in professional Australian orchestras.

Things have changed a lot over the years. Our Sunday work in the 1970s required us to perform free outdoor evening concerts in the hot wet summer months in the old Sound Shell in the City Botanic Gardens. Intrepid and loyal Queenslanders flocked to hear us, decked out in all-weather attire and armed with mosquito repellent and waterproof ground cover. Additional gatecrashers of the non-human kind were dozens if not hundreds of cane toads loitering in the darker areas, attracted by the stage lighting. Things weren’t too comfortable on stage either, as musicians regularly dodged crawling and flying insects, some even landing on our fingers as we played, or using the occasional bald head of a comrade for a safer landing strip. I am very relieved that in more recent times we have relocated our Sunday concerts to the delightful QPAC Concert Hall – far more amenable to good listening.

Some of the music we present for you today we also played regularly back then – Handel’s Water Music, The Beautiful Blue Danube and The Moldau are particular favourites. I am especially fond of the ballet Swan Lake as there are many beautiful harp solos throughout. The heroes appropriately die in the lake and their souls rush up to heaven accompanied by the glorious sounds of repeated harp arpeggios in C flat major – what a beautiful harmonic place to rest for eternity! CONTENTS I hope you enjoy today’s concert. Thank you for your ongoing support. Jill Atkinson Principal Harp WELCOME 1 IN THIS CONCERT PROGRAM

Bedřich Smetana (1824-1884) George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) The Moldau from Má vlast Suite No.1 in F major, HWV 348, from Water Music

A major exponent of musical nationalism in the 19th century, the Czech 8. Bourrée composer Bedřich Smetana wrote many pieces extolling the virtues of his homeland. His most famous work is probably the symphonic cycle Má vlast 9. Hornpipe (My Country) which features the movement titled, ‘The Moldau’. The Moldau Water parties – trips on barges up the Thames – were employed by the British monarchy portrays the course of Bohemia’s mighty Moldau river from its source as two to keep themselves visible to their subjects. George I found water parties the least irksome cold streams (flute and clarinet) unite in a single current flowing past various part of royal pageantry. He was also an admirer of the music of Handel who had been Czech sights (meadows, castles, etc…) before vanishing into the distance. his Kapellmeister while Elector of Hannover and so, when Baron Kielmansegge stage- managed a water party in 1717 for a journey from Whitehall to Chelsea, Handel wrote three suites of dances and other short pieces. The king liked them so much he asked for them to be played ‘three times in going and returning’. Today’s selection comes from Suite 1. A bourrée is a pert dance of French origin. A hornpipe is a lively dance associated with sailors.

Nigel Westlake (b. 1958) Antarctica: Suite for Orchestra and Guitar 1. The Last Place on Earth 3. Penguin Ballet

Nigel Westlake is one of Australia’s most prolific composers whose influence extends beyond the concert hall. He wrote the music for the popular Babe movies. His music for Antarctica began as a soundtrack to John Weiley’s IMAX documentary on the southern continent. Although converted into guitar concerto form in 1992, the concerto exhibits its filmic origins, inspired by Antarctica’s awe-inspiring landscapes and seas. In its original guise, ‘The Last Place on Earth’ accompanied an aerial view of the ice cap, shot in the full daylight of the midnight sun. ‘Penguin Ballet’ shows another, less comical, side of these birds – ‘so clumsy on land, so graceful in the water’. To evade leopard seals, emperor penguins must leave the water at fantastic speeds. Westlake’s music mirrors this mercurial action.

Stanley Myers (1930-1993) orch. Jessica Wells (b. 1974) Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) Cavatina from The Deer Hunter Finale Act IV from Swan Lake, Op.20

Stanley Myers was a British musician who composed music for over 60 films and TV No.28 Odette Offended series. He was an early mentor of Hans Zimmer, famous for Pirates of the Caribbean. This cavatina was originally composed for piano but Australian guitarist John Williams No.29 Finale suggested it be turned into a work for guitar, in which form it was used in a 1970 film,The Tchaikovsky said that he composed Swan Lake for the money (800 rubles) but in Walking Stick, but became most famous as the signature theme of Michael Cimino’s 1978 composing it the symphonist became one of the great ballet composers. The work was film,The Deer Hunter. premiered at Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre in 1877. The plot concerns maidens who have been turned into swans by the evil sorcerer Rothbart. In Act III, Prince Siegfried’s mother demands that he choose a bride. In love with the swan-princess Odette, he mistakenly Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) chooses Rothbart’s daughter Odile who appears similar to Odette except she wears Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes, Op.33a black. In Act IV he rushes back to the swans’ lake to apologise to Odette and Rothbart arrives to force him to honour his pledge to Odile, but Siegfried and Odette plunge into III. Moonlight: Andante comodo e rubato the lake denying Rothbart his victory. The famous oboe melody transforms into the major as if confirming Rothbart’s defeat. The young British composer Benjamin Britten might be said to have made his mark with the 1942 premiere at Sadler’s Wells, London, of his opera Peter Grimes. The poem on which Symphony Australia © 2019 the opera is based, The Borough by George Crabbe, with its seafaring village atmosphere, resonated deeply with Britten whose parents’ house in Lowestoft ‘directly faced the sea’, and where fierce storms ‘sometimes drove ships on our coast and ate away whole stretches of neighbouring cliffs’. TheFour Sea Interludes that Britten extracted from the opera have been described as some of the most effective portrayals of the sea in the orchestral literature. In a theatrical performance, the repose of ‘Moonlight’ is ironic. Another of Grimes’ apprentices has died by misadventure, and already the audience senses that Grimes is steering unavoidably towards tragedy.

Johann Strauss Jr. (1825-1899) On the Beautiful Blue Danube, Op.314

Stanley Kubrick used Johann Strauss II’s Blue Danube waltz to accompany a scene of docking spacecraft in his science fiction film,2001: A Space Odyssey, and in fact Strauss’s waltz may have had its origins in a piece for men’s chorus celebrating Vienna’s new street lighting, but the lilt and atmosphere of the work have come to be synonymous with the Danube river. The introduction might be fog lifting off the river in the early morning. And even if the Danube is only blue on certain days, Strauss’s waltz has, as Egon Gartenberg once said, made the Danube blue for all the world. Was it the almost-symphonic scale or the felicitous melody that made Johannes Brahms once wish he had written this piece?
