C O M 54th season DYSO 2020-2021 From the Artistic Director Dear DYSO patron, Normally, when we look back at the past, we try to romanticize it with stories of exciting adventures and larger-than-life characters. The further back you go into the past, the more colorful the stories become. Until eventually, we turn our past into legends. Unlike the myths and legends of old, our reality over the past year has been anything but a romanticized adventure. Nearly every aspect of our lives has been recast in new and challenging contexts, transforming everyday experiences and tasks from simple and ordinary to difficult and extraordinary. This year has shown us the importance of persevering during difficult times and making a positive impact where we can and when we can. The way I see it, becoming a legend is not only reserved for mythological characters or figures of folklore. I have watched in awe, as a group of young musicians have become modern day legends by making a positive impact moment by moment, note by note. All in one night! Thank you for being with us to help create this modern day legend! PhilipBarnard Philip Barnard, Artistic Director Dekalb Youth Symphony Orchestra P.S.

    Ibla Foundation Home Page 3/8/10 10:09 PM The stormy, fresh, accelerated-tempo character which is supported by many sforzati and dynamical contrasts has to be emphasised. The return of the third movement’s primary theme and tempo (bar 256) make the quasi una fantasia clear. Here, Beethoven writes Tempo I - at this point, he means the Tempo I of the third, not the 4th movement. Once again, this indication shows Beethoven’s concept of an entire fantasia- sonata without separation in the movements. back to top Nancy Lee Harper, pianist, PORTUGAL "The Interpretation of Manuel de Falla's Fantasia baetica" INTERPRETING MANUEL DE FALLA'S FANTASÍA BÆTICA: An Introduction and Masterclass By Nancy Lee Harper ©2004 INTRODUCTION In this day and age of pianistic pyrotechnics, Falla's chef d'œuvre still remains as illusive and daunting today as it was 75 years ago when it was commissioned by and dedicated to the great Polish pianist, Artur Rubinstein. Shrouded in bad luck, Rubinstein was unable to learn the piece in time for his Barcelona concerts in 1919, giving the premiere later in New York on 20 February 1920. The work was destined neither to have the impact nor become the mainstay of his repertoire as other works in his repertoire. Rubinstein played the Fantasy a handful of times, abandoning it, complaining that it was too long, too difficult, had too many glissandi, too many guitar and flamenco figures, etc.. If the truth were known, Rubinstein probably did not have the same audience success as with his version of Falla's earlier work, the "Ritual Fire Dance".

  • Issues in the English Critical Reception of the Three-Cornered Hat *
    Issues in the English Critical Reception of The Three-Cornered Hat * Michael Christojoridis Another great night at the Russian ballet! I have never seen the Alhambra [theatre] looking more brilliant, or filled with a more enthusiastic audience than at the premiere of The Three-Comered Hat' on Tuesday. The uniform scheme of Peace decorations .. enhanced the nobility of one of the finest auditoriumsin Europe. As for the enthusiasm- it defies description. It was tremendous. There is no other word? The overwhelming success of The Three-Cornered Hat at its premiere in London in 1919 came at the end of the Ballets Russes' euphoric first post-war season. The dire wartime economic situation of the company had led Serge Diaghilev to embrace a broader public than the previous aristocratic clientele, beginning the season at the elevated music hall surrounds of the Coliseum. It was this new class of balletomanes that embraced Diaghilev's productions and provided the audience for English ballet in the following decade. Through an examination of the contemporary press, this paper will explore some of the issues underlying the popular and critical success of the ballet in London, and especially of Manuel de Falla's score. Unlike most of the Ballets Russes productions, The Three-Cornered Hat had not been the brainchild of Diaghilev, but had evolved gradually from an earlier project that Falla had worked on. In 1916 Gregorio and Maria Martinez Sierra had staged a mimed adaptation of Pedro Antonio de Alarc6n1s social comedy, El sombrero de tres picos (The Three-Cornered Hat), to a score for chamber ensemble by Falla.

Su estética nacionalista, con miras hacia la universalización de su lenguaje, influenció a muchos compositores posteriores. Dos de sus obras capitales originales y dos transcripciones para piano de sus ballets más importantes son comentados. Son: Cuatro piezas españolas, Fantasía Baetica, El Amor Brujo y El Sombrero de Tres Picos. Se ofrecen consideraciones sobre ritmo, forma, influencias modales... PALABRAS CLAVE: Manuel de Falla, obras, piano, ballets, forma, influencias modales, ritmo, El Amor Brujo, Fantasía Baetica, El Sombrero de Tres Picos, Cuatro Piezas Españolas ABSTRACT: Falla is one of most important spanish composers. His aesthetic, nationalistic towards universal influenced many later composers. Two of his original capital piano works and two piano transcriptions of his most important ballets are commented. They are: Four Spanish Pieces, Fantasía Baética, Love Sorcier and Three Cornered Hat. Here are commented concerning rhythm, form, modal influencies... KEYWORDS: Manuel de Falla, works, piano, ballets, form, ritmo, modal influences, El Amor Brujo, Love Sorcier, Fantasía Baética, El Sombrero de Tres Picos, Three Cornered Hat, Cuatro Piezas Españolas, Four Spanish Pieces ___ Para este artículo he seleccionado cuatro obras de Manuel de Falla (1876-1946) de estética nacionalista. Dos de ellas corresponden a transcripciones de sus ballets más conocidos. Las otras dos fueron pensadas desde el instrumento. No obstante, las transcripciones muestran una lograda escritura específico-idiomática. El cuaderno de las Cuatro Piezas Españolas constituye, junto con su Fantasía Baética, una de las obras cumbre del pianismo del compositor gaditano, compartiendo ese puesto en el cénit de las colecciones pianísticas trascendentes con la Iberia albeniciana o las Goyescas de Granados.

  • Madison Symphony Orchestra Program Notes
    Peoria Symphony Orchestra Program Notes March 11, 2017 Michael Allsen The works heard here on this program were written with 15 years of one another during the First World War and the years following, and the three works by de Falla and Turina are closely linked by the Spanish songs and rhythms that permeate the music. Our soloist, Mexican pianist Jorge Federico Osorio, opens with de Falla’s exotic Nights in the Gardens of Spain. He then turns to a more modernist French work that calls for tremendous virtuosity, Ravel’s Concerto for the Left Hand Alone. The two closing works feature the orchestra itself: Turina’s Fantastic Dances, and the suites from Falla’s ballet The Three-Cornered Hat. Manuel de Falla (1876-1946) Noches en los jardines de España (Nights in the Gardens of Spain) Falla worked on his Noches en los jardines de España between 1909 and 1915. Its premiere was in Madrid, on April 9, 1916, with piano soloist José Cubiles. Born in the southern port city of Cádiz, in the heart of Andalusia, Manuel de Falla never forgot his musical roots. By 1900, he had moved to Madrid, and took part in the vigorous musical life of the capital, taking lessons at the conservatory, and forming close bonds with like-minded young composers like Isaac Albeníz, Enrique Granados, and Joaquin Turina. In 1907, he moved to Paris - then the artistic capital of Europe and a magnet for ambitious young musicians. While he eagerly absorbed the newest French styles, his music remained firmly grounded in Spain.

  • El Estreno De La Vida Breve En El MET
    La recepción de Manuel de Falla en los Estados Unidos de América: El estreno de La vida breve en el MET Pablo Martínez Pegalajar (Rowan University, NJ) [email protected] INTRODUCCIÓN Justificar las diversas influencias culturales y artísticas entre España y los Estados Unidos de América puede ser un ejercicio obvio. Del mismo modo, tampoco es necesario argumentar en favor del renombre de Manuel de Falla a nivel nacional e internacional como uno de los principales estandartes de la música española. Sin embargo, pese a la grandeza y la evidencia de ambos asuntos, se echan en falta explicaciones sobre cómo llegó la música de este compositor a Estados Unidos, cómo fue percibida y cómo pasó a formar parte del repertorio. Dentro del catálogo de Manuel de Falla, la ópera La vida breve es clave para entender la recepción y crítica del autor en EE. UU. En primer lugar, porque se trata de la primera obra que lanzó al compositor hacia el reconocimiento internacional en Europa e interesa conocer si hizo lo propio en el continente americano. En segundo lugar, por las particularidades del género. Las impresiones del público y la crítica en el terreno operístico pueden constituir una atmósfera independiente de otros círculos musicales. En concreto, la crítica en torno a la Metropolitan Opera House de Nueva York, principal puerta de entrada de la ópera al país, ofreció diversas y controvertidas críticas a La vida breve tras su estreno el 6 de mayo de 1926. Todas ellas, junto con las realizadas en posteriores repeticiones de la producción, así como la realizada en la Academy of Music en Filadelfia el 9 de marzo del mismo año, han sido recopiladas de los Archivos del MET para trazar parte del perfil del compositor gaditano en EE.

  • Style Matters: Questions of Interpretation in Manuel De Falla's Fantasía Bætica Nancy Lee Harper
    Style Matters: Questions Of Interpretation In Manuel De Falla's Fantasía Bætica Nancy Lee Harper Affiliation:Universidade de Aveiro, Portugal Address: Departamento de Comunicação e Arte, Universidade de Aveiro, Portugal TM - +351-91-902-6694 Tel/Fax: +351-234-912774 Email: [email protected] Aims and Objectives In the light of new musicological research, the aim and objective of this paper is to respond to interpretative questions in the Everest of Manuel de Falla's most abstract solo piano work, Fantasía bætica (1919) and to pose the question: could the work be Falla's true Homage a Debussy ? Context Situated between the great virtuosic pillars of the piano repertoire, such as Albéniz's Ibéria (1906-1909), Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit (1908), Alban Berg's Sonata, op. 1 (1908), and Charles Ives' "Concord" Sonata (1909-1915) Falla's Fantasía bætica has been described as a kind of Spanish Islamey and an Andalusian Fantasy but not as an historical evocation. When Falla returned to Madrid from his seven years in Paris, the Spanish press found many of his ensuing works, such as El amor brujo and Noches en los jardines de España , to be too "Frenchified". This claim may rightly apply to his Fantasy, the last large- scale solo piano work which closes the so-called "Andalusian period" (1915- 1919). Falla subsequently embarked on a search for universal synthesis that would include his masterpieces El retablo de Maese Pedro and the Concerto for Harpsichord (or Piano), Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Violin, and Violoncello. ("Bætica", the ancient Roman name of Andalucía, Extremadura, and parts of Portugal, was suggested by Falla at the request of his publisher.) The genesis of the Fantasy is found in the correspondence from Ernest Ansermet to Falla (in March, 1918, shortly before Debussy's demise) asking him to intercede with Artur Rubinstein on Igor Stravinsky's behalf (the latter was in dire financial straits because the Russian Revolution and the 1st World War had prevented him from receiving royalties).

    HISTORISCHE AUFNAHMEN CHOPIN: 12 Etudes, Op. 10; 12 Etudes, Op. 25; 3 Nouvelles Etudes; GODOWSKY: Studies on Chopin's Etudes--Nos. 4, 13, 14, 15, 25, 26, 33, 36, 45, 47 & 48; Symphonic Metamorphosis on Themes from Strauss's "Die Fledermaus;" Symphonic Metamorphosis on Strauss's Waltz, "Artist's Life." David Saperton, pianist. International Piano Archives IPA 118/19, two records, distributed by Desmar. These are the legendary recordings originally issued on three LPs by the Command Performances label. (They seem to have been that label's only issues.) They are almost the only surviving recordings of Saperton, who is remembered mostly as Godowsky's son-in-law, one of the very few pianists who could play Godowsky's music. He had a long teaching career, but was never successful as a performer. Technically, there is some amazing playing to be heard here. As if the Chopin Etudes were not difficult enough, Godowsky has further com­ pounded them into incredible tangles of intertwining notes. I wouldn't say Saperton makes them sound easy, but he does play them, which is in itself a technical feat of enormous proportions. The fingers that can toss off Godowsky's work are not going to have much trouble with Chopin's and Saperton also does some amazing things with the Chopin Etudes. My opinions of all of this may well be a minority view among pianophiles who know the material involved. I have never thought much of Godowsky's music, which is indeed technically amazing but strikes me as musically uninteresting, fancy intellectual exercises with little expressive content.
