W elcome to today's performance of the Sammamish Symphony Orchestra.

As I celebrate my 11th year with this group of talented musicians, it is gratifying to reflect upon the remarkable growth of the Orchestra. The dedication and diligence of each member is evident in the ever­improving artistry displayed in each performance. Our achievements have been recognized in the invitation from Northwest Associated Arts to participate again in a special appearance at Benaroya Hall. The

Sammamish Symphony Orchestra will join forces with four other area groups to perform Mozart's immortal Requiem. It is a great honor to our Orchestra to be asked back for this special event.

The Sammamish Symphony Orchestra's 2009/2010 season offers a dynamic array of music selections from traditional works to new favorites. The entire family will enjoy performances such as Holst's The Planets, Rimski-Korsakov's Russian Easter Overture, and Beethoven's Triple Concerto for Piano, Violin, Cello and Orchestra (featuring world-class soloists from the Seattle Symphony and Finisterra trio), as well as a host of popular music included on our Holiday Pops concert in December and our American West Pops concert in June. Be sure to visit our website at www.sammamishsymphony.org for a complete listing of works presented this season.

Now, I invite you to sit back and enjoy the concert!

PROGRAM NOTES

John Williams The Cowboys Overture

What better starting point for the lore of the West than the music score of an "oater" starring John Wayne?

One of the best known, awarded, and financially successful compos­ers in US history, John Williams holds a massive list of awards - 41 Oscar nominations (five wins), over 20 Gold and Platinum Records, Emmy (two wins), Golden Globe (three wins), Grammy (18 wins), National Board of Review (includ­ing a Career Achievement Award), Saturn (six wins), and BAFTA (seven wins) citations. His music for "Star Wars" is the best selling score-only soundtrack of all time, and spawned countless musi-cal imitators. Also to his credit is a parallel career as an author of concert works, performed by musi­cians such as Mstislav Rostropov­ich, Andre Previn, Itzhak Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma, Gil Shaham, Leonard Slatkin, and Joshua Bell. He has led numerous national and interna­tional orchestras, most notably as the conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra from 1980-1993, where he continues to serve as conductor laureate.

John Williams composed the music for "The Cowboys" in the early, "pre-Spielberg" portion of his career. The 1972 film stars John Wayne, in one of his last Western roles, as rancher Wil Andersen. When his cattle drivers abandon him for the gold fields, Andersen is forced to take on a collection of young boys as his drivers in order

to get his herd to market in time to avoid financial disaster. Neither An­dersen nor the boys know that a gang of cattle thieves is stalking them. The drivers set out as schoolboys, but return as cowboys.

As a movie "The Cowboys" merits mixed reviews, but its music is forth­rightly dynamic and tuneful. The Over­ture is not a prelude to the movie, but a concert arrangement of various themes from the film, which Williams crafted after the success of his score. Character­istic of Williams' oeuvre is his fondness for assigning arching melodies to the horn section.

Arr. Carmen Dragon Shenandoah

Carmen Dragon has been called the complete musician for his accomplish­ments as composer, arranger, conductor (most notably as music director of the Hollywood Bowl Symphony), radio and television personality, and music educator.

"Shenandoah" (also called "Oh, Shenandoah" or "Across the Wide Mis­souri") is a traditional American folk song of uncertain provenance, dating at least to the early 19th century. The Shenandoah area made many parts like wheels and seats for wagons going west. These parts were assembled in Conestoga Township, Lancaster Coun­ty, Pennsylvania and settlers set out in Conestoga wagons down the Ohio Riv­er, on the Mississippi and west up the Missouri River. Lyrics were undoubt­edly added by rivermen, settlers, and the millions who went west. The song also became popular as a sea-shanty with British sailors by the 1880s.

William Bergsma Paul Bunyan Suite

William Bergsma was director of the University of Washington School of Music from 1963 to 1971, and a pro­fessor there until 1986. A composer of international acclaim, he is known for his diverse genre, including an opera, full orchestra works, ballet suites, string quartets, a woodwind quintet, and works for voice, chorus, and band. In musical style, he has been characterized as a composer who "never deserted tonality" and who "saw dozens of his former avant-garde colleagues returning to the fold," noted his obituary in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

Bergsma composed the "Paul Bun­yan Suite" in his teens, initially for the high school orchestra in Burlin­game, California. The suite has been played under such eminent conduc­tors as Pierre Monteux, Werner Jans­sen, and Howard Hanson.

The three movements depict events from the story of the fabulous gi­ant who performed extraordinary feats in the great North woods during the early logging days. The first movement is the Dance of the Blue Ox. Babe, the Blue Ox, was an impressive creature 40 ax-handles in height. The bassoon provides much of the humor in this section. The sec­ond movement portrays a Country Dance, with the woodwinds given a prominent role, especially the pic­colo and oboe. The final movement, Night, tells of the loneliness of the logging camp now still and silent after the day's labors. The leads into the finale, entitled Paul's Work Completed, in which the full arches-

tra brings the suite to a close with a powerful expression of triumph.

Richard Markowitz The Wild Wild West

The "Wild Wild West" television series ran on CBS for 104 episodes from 1965 to 1969. Developed at a time when the television western was losing ground to the spy genre, this show was conceived by its creator, Michael Garrison, as "James Bond on horseback." It told the story of two Secret Service agents: James West, the charming gunslinger (played by Robert Conrad), and Artemus Gordon (played by Ross Martin), the brilliant gadgeteer and master of disguise. Their unending mission was to protect President Ulysses S. Grant and the United States from all manner of danger­ous threats. The agents traveled in luxury aboard their own train, the Wanderer, equipped with everything from a stable car to a laboratory. Two television movies were made with the original cast in 1979 and 1980, and the series was adapted for a mo­tion picture in 1999 with a new cast and story.

California-born composer Richard Markowitz came to film scoring at an inopportune time, when motion picture production in Hollywood was starting to implode during the mid-1950s. He moved into television work soon after and scored a major success with his theme for "The Reb-

el," a western drama series. Markowitz's biggest television success came in 1966 when the producers of "The Wild Wild West" rejected the theme music written by Dimitri Tiomkin and, instead, chose his music for the series. Additionally, he wrote the music for more than two-dozen episodes of the series.

Aaron Copland Down a Country Lane

Aaron Copland was born on November 4, 1900, in New York City. His collection of works ranged from ballet and orches­tral music to concertos and movie scores. Through his large collection of musical works, Copland quickly became one of the most prolific American composers. Copland stopped composing in 1970, though he continued to lecture and con­duct through the 1980's. In 1986, Copland was awarded the 120th Congressional Gold Medal for "creating a uniquely American style of composition." Copland died December 2, 1990 in Tarrytown, New York.

Copland's compositions reflected the musical creativeness occurring in America at the time. His works incorporated jazz rhythms and Neoclassicism traits. His ground breaking year was 1936. It was in this year that Copland turned to a more simplistic style in hopes of creating a larger audience/listener base. During this time (through the early 1960's), Copland composed some of his most popular works, including the works on today's program.

"Down a Country Lane" was written in 1962 as the result of a commis­sion from Life magazine. Copland explained that the music "is descrip­tive only in an imaginative, not a literal sense. I didn't think up the title until the piece was finished -Down a Country Lane just happened to fit its flowing quality." Initially composed as a solo for young piano students, Copland orchestrated this piece in 1965.

Arr. Bill Holcombe Cowboy Fantasy (Based on Well-Known Cowboy Airs)

A renaissance musician - instru­mentalist (clarinet and saxophone), arranger, composer, conductor, and music publisher - Wilford "Bill" Holcombe died this past April 25 at age 85. As his obituary in the Tren­ton (NJ) Times reported, "It seemed there was no facet of American mu­sic that Holcombe did not address at some point in his productive career."

Holcombe studied composition, musicology, and flute performance at the University of Pennsylvania and Julliard. After World War II, Holcombe was hired as a reed player and staff arranger for the Tommy Dorsey Band. By the 1970's, Hol­combe had become one of America's most published arrangers for concert band and orchestra. In addition to owning and operating his own publishing company, Musicians Pub­lications, he accepted commissions

to arrange for over 100 symphony orchestras in the U.S. and Canada. Holcombe's credits also included tour­ing as first reed with Burt Bacharach, arranging and playing for jazz pianist Peter Nero and the Philly Pops. On the podium, Holcombe conducted his hometown Symphony (The Trenton Symphony) in many of their very suc­cessful Pops Concerts and the London Philharmonic Orchestra in a highly successful recording of the score to "Chariots of Fire."

Leroy Anderson Chicken Reel

Leroy Anderson was an American composer of short, light concert piec­es, many of which were introduced by the Boston Pops Orchestra under the direction of Arthur Fiedler. John Williams described him as "one of the great American masters of light or­chestral music." Anderson would oc­casionally appear on the Boston Pops regular concerts on PBS to conduct his own music while Fiedler would sit on the sidelines.

"Chicken Reel" was composed by Joseph M. Daly in 1910. Along with "Turkey in the Straw," it is probably best known for its use in early ani­mated cartoons as a catchy tune used to represent animal activity. Originally composed as a novelty song, it has since passed into modem folk tradi-

tion. Today, the tune is usually played without the words. Anderson's arrange­ment of "Chicken Reel" for symphony orchestra was first recorded by the Boston Pops Orchestra in 1992.

Aaron Copland Dance Episodes from Rodeo

Copland composed "Rodeo" as a ballet for choreographer Agnes de Mille. The premiere took place at the Metropoli­tan Opera House in 1942 with De Mille playing the lead, and received 22 curtain calls. Copland later arranged the music as a symphonic suite for orchestra. In this form, "Rodeo" found even greater success, premiering at the Boston Pops in 1943.

The circumstances surrounding its composition led to a number of features that set "Rodeo" apart from other Copland compositions. Though many of Copland's works incorporate traditional American folk tunes, "Rodeo" is unique in that it leaves them quite intact in the score. This is likely attributable in part to De Mille's control over the work. She had already blocked the entire show before Copland had written a single note and also transcribed several folk tunes for Copland in addition to her block­ing notes. The well-known main theme of "Hoe-Down" is based on a unique version of the American folk song "Bonaparte's Retreat," played by Salyersville, Kentucky fiddler William Hamilton Stepp, which was recorded in 1937 by Alan Lomax for the Library of Congress. "Cor­ral Nocturne" was at least partially written by Leonard Bernstein, who was Copland's student at the time.

Virgil Thomson Fugue and Chorale on Yankee Doodle

Virgil Thomson was a many-fac­eted American composer of great originality and a music critic of singular brilliance. Born in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1896, Thomson studied at Harvard, followed by a prolonged period in Paris where he studied with Nadia Boulanger. After his return to the United States, he was appointed chief music critic for the New York Herald Tribune. Thomson composed in almost every genre of music, with a musical style marked by simplicity, irony, and hu­mor. In addition to his compositions, he was the author of eight books, including an autobiography.

Thomson's fugal maze on the famil­iar "Yankee Doodle" tune under­scores the film "Tuesday in Novem­ber," directed by John Houseman and Nicolas Ray. The 1945 movie

short is an idealized portrayal of the 1944 U.S. presidential election, made to show the world that the United States was sufficiently secure to hold a free and fair election during wartime. It opens in the small town of Riverton, California, in the early morning of Election Day, with the first voter (the town's milkman), then shows campaign activities, efforts to en­sure the secrecy of the ballot and fairness of the election, and media coverage of the electoral process, all culminating in a gi­ant nighttime gathering in Times Square where a huge crowd awaits the result.

Arr. Carmen Dragon The Yellow Rose of Texas

Texas history is full of legend and lore. One such tale is the "Yellow Rose of Texas." One account places the original handwritten copy of the "Yellow Rose of Texas" either shortly before or just after General Sam Houston led his brigade of Texas loyalists against the army of Mexican General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto in April 1836. The folksong's lyrics tell of a black soldier who left his sweetheart and yearns to return to her side.

According to other accounts, "The Yellow Rose" was Emily West, a mulatto slave from New Washington, Texas. West was kidnapped by soldiers under the orders of Santa Anna, who was enthralled by her charms. The distracted general sup­posedly failed to put his troops on alert, and when the battle began, the Texans caught the Mexicans by surprise.

As the American Civil War began, "Yel­low Rose of Texas" was adopted as a marching song by soldiers everywhere, most often by soldiers from Texas. But since it referred to a black American soldier, the song's lyrics were changed. In 1930, Texas composer David Guion tran­scribed the song from memory, inserting his own distinct melodic effects. Guion's version of "The Yellow Rose of Texas" became popular, and a second transcrip­tion of the song was released in 1936 to

10

commemorate the Texas Centennial.

The song became even more popu­lar in 1955, when Mitch Miller recorded it. This new version was tailored to the tastes of the dancing audience at the time. Miller retained some phrases from the original song manuscript, but eliminated some of its folk elements.

Richard Hayman "Pops" Hoe-Down

Richard Hayman is conductor, harmonica player, arranger, and composer. He received training in composition from Alfred Newman and Max Steiner, and in conducting from Arthur Fiedler.

Considered one of America's favor­ite "Pops" conductors, Hayman is Principal Pops Conductor of the Grand Rapids Symphony and Con­ductor of Florida's Sunshine Pops. He has also held Principal Pops Conductor posts with the Saint Lou­is, the Detroit, and Hartford Sym­phony Orchestras, the Calgary Phil­harmonic, and Orchestra London Canada. His original compositions are standards in the repertoire of these ensembles, as well as frequent­ly performed selections for many bands and orchestras throughout the world. For over thirty years, he served as the chief arranger for the Boston Pops Orchestra during Arthur Fiedler's tenure, providing special arrangements for dozens of their hit albums and famous singles. Hayrnan's "Pops" Hoe-Down has been recorded by the Boston Pops Orchestra among other ensembles.
