Given the size of the orchestra, a ‘transcription’, an ‘adaptation’ was necessary or in Arthur Lavandier’s words a ‘recreation’ – a term that we will retain since it was he who undertook this hazardous task. It is not a case of Berlioz against Lavandier, and the contrary even less so. It is an ‘encounter of a third kind’, a mosaic challenge, an open-minded tribute, an orchestral game, and shared laughter despite the centuries that divide them both. We could also say that it was like a fan- tasy film re-make.

Hector Berlioz Harold in Italy, Op. 16
PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Hector Berlioz Born December 11, 1803, Côte-Saint-André, France. Died March 8, 1869, Paris, France. Harold in Italy, Op. 16 Berlioz composed Harold in Italy in 1834. The first performance was given on November 23 of that year in Paris. The score calls for solo viola and an orchestra consisting of two flutes and piccolo, two oboes and english horn, two clarinets, four bassoons, four horns, two cornets and two trumpets, three trombones and tuba, timpani, snare drum, triangle, cymbals, harp, and strings. Performance time is approximately forty-two minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra's first performances of Berlioz's Harold in Italy were given on subscription concerts at the Auditorium Theatre on March 11 and 12, 1892 with August Junker as soloist and Theodore Thomas conducting. At one of the first performances of his blockbuster Symphonie fantastique, Hector Berlioz noticed that a man stayed behind in the empty concert hall after the ovations had ended and the musicians were packing up to go home. He was, as Berlioz recalls in his Memoirs, "a man with long hair and piercing eyes and a strange, ravaged countenance, a creature haunted by genius, a Titan among giants, whom I had never seen before, the first sight of whom stirred me to the depths." The man stopped Berlioz in the hallway, grabbed his hand, and "uttered glowing eulogies that thrilled and moved me to the depths. It was Paganini." Paganini, is, of course, Italian-born Nicolò Paganini, among the first of music's one-name sensations. In 1833, the year he met Berlioz, Paganini was one of music's greatest celebrities, known for the almost superhuman virtuosity of his violin playing as well as his charismatic, commanding presence. -

This concert will be recorded live for future broadcast. To ensure the highest-quality recording, please keep noise to a minimum. INCONCERT 19 CLASSICAL PROGRAM SUMMARY How do young artists find a unique voice? This program brings together three works, each written when their respective composers were only in their 20s. The young American Andrew Norman was already tapping into his gift for crafting vibrantly imaginative, almost hyper-active soundscapes in Unstuck, the brief but event-filled orchestral piece that opens our concert. Felix Mendelssohn had already been in the public eye as a child prodigy before he embarked on a series of travels across Europe from which he stored impressions for numerous mature compositions — including the First Piano Concerto. Just around the time Mendelssohn wrote this music, his contemporary Hector Berlioz was refining the ideas that percolate in his first completed symphonic masterpiece. The Symphonie fantastique created a sensation of its own with its evocation of a tempestuous autobiographical love affair through an unprecedentedly bold use of the expanded Romantic orchestra. -

Pas de Ravel. Pas d’école russe. Pas de Leonard Bernstein.

Cette année de commémo- 2019 ration n’est pas une fin en soi : c’est une porte ouverte vers de nouveaux horizons », affirme Bruno Messina, directeur du Festival Berlioz à La Côte- Saint-André, chargé d’orchestrer les célébrations du 150e anniversaire de la mort du compositeur. Deux orchestres associés à la Philharmonie participent à cet hommage : l’Orchestre de chambre de Paris, qui met en regard les inspirations écossaises et irlandaises de Mendelssohn et de Berlioz, tandis que l’Orchestre national d’Île-de-France donne la Symphonie fantastique dans le cadre d’un concert BERLIOZ en famille. Le Te Deum, interprété par l’Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Le fantastique offre une incursion dans la musique religieuse de Berlioz. On peut aussi entendre, par Les Siècles et le National Youth Choir of Scotland, l’Épisode de la vie d’un artiste dans sa forme originelle, c’est-à-dire regroupant la Symphonie fantastique et Lélio ou le Retour à la vie. CONCERTS SYMPHONIQUES Ce panorama est enrichi par deux concerts transversaux (« Berlioz & Friends » – qui associe Berlioz et certains de ses contemporains – concocté par l’Orchestre Pasdeloup, et l’Euphonia revisitée par La Clique des GRANDES Lunaisiens) et par les différentes activités de ce second week-end consacré à ŒUVRES celui qui est aujourd’hui considéré comme le plus grand représentant de la VOCALES musique romantique en France. -

WARNER B.M., University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, 1988 M.M., University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, 1997 Committee Chair: David Vining ABSTRACT This paper examined alto trombone pedagogy from three vantage points. First an in-depth analysis of the alto trombone methods currently available was presented. The methods were analyzed with regard to progressive arrangement, readability of text and music, balance in the use of keys and registers, inclusion of a position chart and orchestral excerpts, and the pedagogical and musical quality of the etudes. The second part of this paper was a study of occurrences of the alto trombone on student recitals in the United States as reported in publications of the International Trombone Association from 1979-2004. The frequency of performances
