PERFORMANCE NOTES

The first movement should be played with clarity and grace, almost in a Classical style.

Climaxes full but not overpowering.

The second movement should be played with deep expression and emotion where marked, but

not to the extreme of distorted tone. (For visualizing the associated images, 301 to E depicts a

clear-cut. E to 353 is a fond look at a healthy climax forest. G is the buildup to a crown fire, I is a

look at “the black” after a burn. The ending at J is a fond memory and farewell.)

The “scherzo” sections of the finale should be played ironically and dispassionately, with no

rubato. In the middle Stars episode, highlight the solo woodwind melodies, which may be molto

espressivo. Then allow the climax to build to maximum volume just short of distortion. The

Song of the Milky Way in the high winds should be dolcissimo. In the accompanying harmonics-

clusters in higher strings, the random changes of vibrato, little swells, and tremolos should be

individualized where so marked, as well as the individual de-tunings in doubled lines. The

overall effect should be the faint twinkling of a vast number of stars on a clear black night.

In the reprise of the finale, the short quiet dry coughing near the end should be done by

individuals, at most pairs but not synchronized, in the silences. Designate the coughers in

advance, do not improvise this. Share it around. It is soft panicky coughing, not a violent attack

of the croup. The inhales are like little dry gasps.

The last exhale is not through the instrument (winds/brass), just through your teeth.

The final stage business needs to be rehearsed separately without playing. Be patient and wait for

the final applause–it may take a while. Then heads come up individually.

SPOKEN NOTE: If the conductor feels that the audience will need some warning or preparation

before the Finale to grasp what is going on and enter into it, a short spoken comment before the

start of the symphony will not be amiss. If you want to engage the audience in

visualizing/experiencing the final expiration, tell them beforehand that you will make a gesture

(show it) to alert them near the end (m. 548) to take a deep breath and see if they can hold it to

the finish . . .

Lighting Suggestions

If the hall’s lighting system allows, it is possible to enhance the moods of this symphony with

selective lighting. These are suggestions:

• First movement: Full house lights up throughout. Glaringly bright, even.

• Second movement: Deep dark green (or house to half), perhaps with a flare up to

yellow/orange during the crown fire after G, then fade and back to green at J.

• Third movement: start off with a harsh greyish light, then dim to full dark in the house for

the stars. (Possibly darken the stage as well, and use stand lights starting at 446, to 475?).

Back to the harsh light from the sunrise at 475.

o Third movement special effect: project the quickly-emerging stars, and then fairly

suddenly reveal the full Milky Way, on the ceiling of the room during that

passage while the room stays dark, then fade the stars out at sunrise as the lights

come up. (Stars could be projected on the back wall instead.)

senza vibrato

During this passage, Violin and Viola players individually cycle through occasional 1-2 beat swell and dim.,

tremolo punta d'arco, gradually add and remove fat vibrato. Notations are just examples.

Where more than one Violin or Viola player is playing a given line,

one should keep correct pitch, the others individually shift to (approximately)

a quarter-tone or sixth-tone flat or sharp, to create a more blurry cloud of stars.
