We want to be modest in our prom- ises. But by no means do we want to be modest in our aspirations. We arP confident that our students will receive the very best of our ability and practical experience, as well as our spiritual guidance."

The symphony marks a move in a new direction for the composer. It is a nlasaiv,:: work divided into 3 large sections: the first is by turns somber and stormy and the last ends with a victory of the forces of life over anguish, grief, and death. The Scherzo, featuring prominent horn solos, stands alone as the central section of the symphony and was intended to represent "a human being in the full light of day, in the prime of his life." Mozart (27 Jan. 1756 - 5 Dec. 1791) Overture to "The Magic Flute" The first performance of The Magic Flute was on 30 Sept. 1791, only a few weeks before Mozart's death, in a theater on the outskirts of Vienna. The work is part fairy tale, part parable, a combination of opera and a play with music in the tradi- tion of the Viennese Vorstadt theater, complete with folk tunes and musical buffoon- ery. The action pits the forces of darkness, aspersonified by the vengeful Queen of the Night, against those of nobility and light, represented by the high priest Sarastro whose realm is the Temple of Wisdom. In between stands the human Tamino. Both Mozart and his librettist Schickaneder were Freemansons, and the work is suf- fused with the symbolism and basic tenets of Freemasonry. The overture, driven by counterpoint, draws together all the basic themes and conceptions of the opera. It opens with a solemn adagio, introduced by three powerful chords (the number three being highly important in Freemason symbology). A fugato section propels us into an allegro characterized by great rhythmic drive, only to be interrupted by the three weighty chords. (The contrapuntal technique is symbolic of human endeavor and the chords announce to the assembly of priests that Tamino is being led to trial.; The allegro continues once again, at first rather subdued and in the minor, and the work soon concludes with three brisk chords. Sibelius (8 Dec. 1865 - 20 Se t. 1957 Pohiola's Daughter, Opus 49 The Finnish national epic, the Kalevala, provided Sibelius with material for a number of works, including Pohjola's Daughter. The work was written in 1906 and first performed on 29 Dec. of that year with the Marinsky Theater Orchestra in St. Petersburg. The story Sibelius illustrates is, very briefly, of the hero Vainamoinen who is on his homeward journey from the North. He meets Fohjola's daughter and falls in love with her, but to win her hand he must perform a series of impossible tasks, only to fail and continue his journey alone. The mood is predominantly dark and brooding, with a solo cello dominating the introduction. Gradually the tempo is increased until the hero's theme is stated in the brass. A number of thematically related episodes depict Vainamoinen's struggles and failure, and his theme returns, much extended. Suddenly everything dies away and the mysterious final bars leave the listener with a sense of incompletion and desolation. Webern (3 Dec. 1883 - 15 Sept. 1945) Im Sommerwind Webern's compositional development, like that of his mentor Schoenberg, passed through stages of late Romantic Chromaticism, free atonality, and finally serial technique. The style we most usually associate with Webern today is that of extreme - concision, compression, and brevity.

  • Acclaimed Pianist Angela Hewitt Joins the Vienna Tonkünstler Orchestra for Beethoven's Heroic 'Emperor Concerto'
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE USE Acclaimed pianist Angela Hewitt joins the Vienna Tonkünstler Orchestra for Beethoven’s heroic ‘Emperor Concerto’ Vienna Tonkünstler Orchestra with Angela Hewitt Sunday 28 Oct 2018, 7.30pm Usher Hall, Lothian Road, Edinburgh Bernstein: Three Dance Episodes from On the Town Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 5 Sibelius: Symphony No. 5 Images available to download here Sibelius’s visionary Fifth Symphony, plus the musical heroism of Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto Following the opening concert from the Russian State Symphony Orchestra, the second concert in the Sunday Classics 2018-19 season sees the Vienna Tonkünstler Orchestra bring an evening of wonderfully varied music to the Usher Hall. Japanese conductor Yutaka Sado and his Orchestra open with musical heroes not often referenced in the Usher Hall: the three wide-eyed sailors on shore leave in Bernstein’s foot-tapping musical On the Town. His feel-good Three Dance Episodes blend jazz, big band and classical to electrifying effect – and feature Bernstein’s hit tune ‘New York, New York’. The remarkable Canadian pianist Angela Hewitt joins Orchestra and conductor for one of the most heroic piano concertos of them all. Beethoven’s noble Emperor Concerto was the composer’s last for the piano, and is cast on a grand scale, but its brilliant, breathtaking virtuosity melds effortlessly with tenderness and exquisite beauty. The piece is an ideal match for Hewitt’s fresh, elegant, powerful playing. Born into a musical family, Hewitt started her piano education at the age of three and has gone on to win awards and fans across the world.

  • Spring/Summer 2010 a Quiet Place at New York City Opera
    PRELUDE, FUGUE News for Friends of Leonard Bernstein RIFFS Spring/Summer 2010 A Quiet Place at New York City Opera by George Steel eonard Bernstein himself Lsaid that all of his works - symphonies, piano pieces, songs, all of it - were theatrical. But his works for the stage have a special place in the history of American music. So I am overjoyed to say that New York City Opera will open its 2010-11 season with A Quiet Place, Bernstein's final completed stage work, with a libretto by Stephen Wadsworth. It is undoubtedly one of Bernstein's greatest musical achievements. As a composer, LB always sought "undiscovered country." It is so typical of him that a late work like A Quiet Place would be full of struggle and experimenta­ tion. Every note he wrote "cost," as he would say: he paid in sweat and blood (or really cigarettes and Tums) for music that seems inevitable and even, paradoxically, effortless. He completed A Quiet Place through Herculean effort and self-sacrifice. It is an amazing work - and one that we need more than ever. It is not afraid to challenge and to break new ground - and it reaches in some ways further than other Bernstein Music by Libretto by works to integrate his many Leonard Bernstein Stephen Wadsworth musical languages. Bernstein had an uncanny Pro,lwud l1y Houston Grand Opera, The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and 1eatro al/a Scala understanding of the theatrical power of music, and all his talent and experience are on display in (continued on page 2) Poster from the Houston Grand Opera premiere production 3 Mass in Virginia 5 Artful Learning Spring 8 In the News Inside ..
