MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CHAIR


As we start 2015, I want to wish each of you a healthy andhappy new year. Of course, I also encourage you to fill the yearwith excellent music. The WSO has a range of stellar concertsover the next few months that will help to make the wintermore than bearable and give you good reasons to venture outfor an evening of music. I personally look forward to hearingMicah Heilbrunn, performing Mozart’s hauntingly beautifulClarinet Concerto lead by Canada’s leading early musicperformance specialist, Jeanne Lamon. Chicago SymphonyOrchestra’s Beyond the Score® series has provided someexcellent programming for the WSO for the last number ofyears. This year, we have an in depth look at Beethoven’s

monumental Fifth Symphony which promises to be an exceptional evening. Planning ahead forValentine’s Day is always a good idea. The WSO features the music of Romeo and Juliet on theValentine’s Day weekend. You can add to the evening with dinner and a symphony to make theevening a delicious and memorable event.

The start of a new year also has all of us at the WSO thinking about the importance of theorchestra in our community and the roles we can play in ensuring that great symphonic musicremains in Winnipeg for the benefit of our children and grandchildren. Your plans for givingto the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra through your estate planning or residual RRSP gifts canmake all the difference in the world. If you have made a gift through your will, do let the WSOknow so that you can be included in the WSO’s Legacy Circle.

PROGRAM NOTESby James Manishen

Symphony in G minorJohann Christian Bachb. Leipzig / September 5, 1735d. London / January 1, 1782Published: 1770-1775Last WSO performance: 2000; MichaelMorgan, conductor

The youngest son ofSebastian and his second wifeAnna Magdalena, ChristianBach found fame as acomposer of religious musicand opera during a seven-

year stay in Italy from 1755 through 1762. Hisfirst opera Artaserse (1760) was so popularthat it led to a commission of two more forthe prestigious King’s Theatre in London.Bach naturally accepted the proposition andmoved to London in 1762 where he enjoyedsuccess for the rest of his life. In 1764 he metthe eight-year-old Mozart, who later claimedChristian Bach as a valued influence.

Each of Christian Bach’s operas opens withan overture that is actually a three-movement Sinfonia. Op. 6, No. 6 stands outin its mastery of the Sturm und Drang(storm-and-stress) style where extremes ofemotion are given free rein to express thedrama inherent in that realm.

Though the outer movements of this G-minor symphony have a striking power andenergy, the slow movement, in the unusualkey of C-minor, has an anguishedpersonality and internal tension all its own,its rays of light notwithstanding.

Clarinet ConcertoWolfgang Amadeus Mozartb. Salzburg / January 27, 1756d. Vienna / December 5, 1791Composed: 1791Last WSO performance: 2002; Michael Hall,conductor; Joaquin Valdepeñas, clarinet

Mozart had a specialaffection for the clarinet: itsliquid tone, which heconsidered closest to thehuman voice, its technicalagility, and the ease with

which the clarinet fit into orchestralwoodwind sections and chamber ensembles.

Mozart first heard the clarinet as ayoung boy and included it in hismusic when possible. But on hearingthe supreme playing of the Viennaimperial court orchestra’s clarinetistAnton Stadler, Mozart was furthertransported.

Stadler was a Freemason and whenMozart joined the fraternity the twobecame lifelong friends. Stadler notonly enjoyed Mozart’s camaraderieand sometimes financial support, butthe music Mozart wrote for him: theClarinet Concerto, the Trio K. 498 forPiano, Clarinet and Viola, plusextended clarinet solos in the operaLa Clemenza di Tito, (also from 1791).

Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto was hissecond-to-last completed work. Itstands not only as the finest everwritten for the instrument, but atestament to the formal perfectionand depth of feeling from Mozart athis most sublime.

Concerto grosso in B-flatArcangelo Corellib. Fusignano, Italy / February 17, 1653d. Rome / January 8, 1713Published posthumouslyFirst WSO performance

Arcangelo Corellicame from a well-to-do family oflandowners with nomusical background.After studying in

Bologna, a notable centre forinstrumentalists, he moved to Romein 1675 where he became one of thecity’s leading violinists, renowned forthe passion and elegance of hisplaying. Since the attraction ofinstrumental music was on the riseat the time, Corelli composed novocal music, instead concentratingon three genres for which hebecame famous and highlyinfluential: the concerto grosso, thetrio sonata and the solo sonata.

Corelli labored diligently over the 12concerti grossi in his Op. 6. Eachcontains a series of fast/slowmovements using two groups ofmusicians – the small group calledthe “concertino” and the largergroup called the “ripieno” –performing their roles in

alternation. Corelli’s B-flat majorconcerto grosso is part of his firsteight “church concertos,” whosefast movements are mainly in fugalform. The last four concerti in thecollection are dance suites. All aremodels of balance and care,revered by Handel, Vivaldi andmany others that saw Corelli as apoint of reference in his time.

Symphony No. 101 “Clock”Franz Joseph Haydnb. Rohrau, Lower Austria / March 31, 1732d. Vienna / May 31, 1809Composed: 1794First performance: March 3, 1794(London) conducted by the composerLast WSO performance: 1993,Bramwell Tovey, conductor

Impresario/violinistJohann PeterSalomon broughtJoseph Haydn toLondon for twohighly successful

18-month visits in 1791 and 1794. It was for these trips that Haydnwrote his symphonies Nos. 93 to104, the “London symphonies.” Athefty ticket prices, the premiereswere rapturously received in thespring of 1794 within a glitteringsocial ambiance at the elegantHanover Square Rooms.

As always with Haydn’s latesymphonies, peerless musicalconstruction is the substrate of thecomposer’s masterly talent fordiversion. In the “Clock” Symphony,the second movement’s tick-tockpremise was the work’s “hook.” Yetthough this musical motive maysound simple at the outset, themovement is actually one of Haydn’smost sophisticated in its hybrid ofvariation and rondo forms.

The opening movement’s Presto in6/8 time has more the sense offinale than opening statement. TheMenuet is an almost Beethoven-likeexpansion of the dance form and isHaydn’s longest of its type, withcrunching dissonance in the Trio.The finale overflows with inventionand energy, a double fugue(pianissimo!) among Haydn’s mostbrilliant touches.

PROGRAM NOTESby James Manishen

Overture to A Midsummer Night’s DreamFelix Mendelssohnb. Hamburg / February 3, 1809d. Leipzig / November 4, 1847Composed: 1826First performance: February 20, 1827(Stettin), conducted by Carl LoweLast WSO performance: 2004; MichelleMourre, conductor

The Mendelssohnhousehold of thecomposer’s youth was amagical place. Located in arural, verdant settingoutside Berlin’s gates, the

glittering mansion had a concert room thatseated several hundred audience membersat the family’s regular Sunday musicaleswhere Felix and his older sister Fannyperformed their own music. Outside was alush garden where in the warm summerdays the two would read, dream and, asFelix wrote, had “encounteredShakespeare,” especially A MidsummerNight’s Dream. Felix vowed he would putmusic to the play’s world of fantasy.

Felix was only 17 when he completed hisfamous overture to A Midsummer Night’sDream, a work many consider the firstindependent concert-overture. He wroteincidental music for the same play sixteenyears later, all of which capture the world ofa youthful imagination and miraculouscompositional skill that has entrancedaudiences ever since.

Concerto for Two PianosWolfgang Amadeus Mozartb. Salzburg / January 27, 1756d. Vienna / December 5, 1791Composed: 1779 or 1780Last WSO performance: 1982; RalphMarkham and Kenneth Broadway, pianists;Alexis Hauser, conductor

Mozart’s 17-month tour toMunich, Mannheim andParis between September1777 and January 1779was filled withdisappointment and

sadness. No job materialized for him - themain purpose of the tour - and on July 3rd

his mother died in Paris. Grieving,Mozart returned to his family inSalzburg where he was especially glad tosee his beloved sister Maria Anna(“Nannerl”), who he could confide inboth musically and personally. It isthought that he composed his Concertofor Two Pianos (K. 365) for them bothto play as a sign of comfort amongfamily during difficult times.

The Two-Piano Concerto’s ebullient joyis further enhanced by a richness inscoring, for Mozart uses oboes, bassoonsand horns to underpin the two pianostreated as fully equal partners. Perhapsthis came from his Paris sojourn wherewith its multiple soloists the “sinfoniaconcertante” was in vogue and likely theinspiration for Mozart’s own greatSinfonia Concertante for violin and violathat was an exact contemporary with theTwo-Piano Concerto. The Concerto is agem among Mozart’s works for pianoand orchestra and hardly a better modelof enduring charm, wit and skill existsamong them all.

Romeo and JulietPiotr Ilyich Tchaikovskyb. Votkinsk, Russia / May 7, 1840d. St. Petersburg, Russia / November 6, 1893Composed: 1869; revised in 1870 and 1880First performance: March 16, 1870(Moscow), conducted by Nikolai RubinsteinLast WSO performance: 2007, AlexanderMickelthwate, conductor

Plagued with self-doubtalongside artistic andfinancial struggles,Tchaikovsky acceptedthe prodding ofcomposer and self-

proclaimed advisor Mili Balakirev towrite an orchestral piece around amusical design Balakirev had createdfor Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.Balakirev was one of the so-called“Mighty Five” Russian composers benton promoting a nationalistic school ofmusical composition. RecognizingTchaikovsky’s talent and vulnerability,Balakirev pushed hard, and the 29-year-old Tchaikovsky delivered his firstmasterpiece, one of the most coherentand successful marriages of music withprogram in the orchestral literature.

Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet is afantasy-overture crafted in a tight sonataform with introduction, episodes and

closing coda. Friar Lawrenceappears in the slow introduction.The lively syncopated Allegrogiusto that follows depicts theconflict between the Montaguesand Capulets. The love theme(English horn) paints Romeo’spassion followed by the mutedyearning strings as Juliet’sresponse. After the events arefurther vividly processed, thingsdarken and a funereal drum beatsout the lovers’ fatal close,highlighted by woodwinds incelestial mood and Romeo’s finalpoignant call.

BoléroMaurice Ravelb. Ciboure, France / March 7, 1875d. Paris, France / December 28, 1937Composed: 1928First performance: November 20,1928 (Paris), conducted by Walter StraramLast WSO performance: 2007,Alexander Mickelthwate, conductor

In 1928 famedballerina IdaRubenstein, whosecompany had firstperformed Ravel’sLa Valse, asked

Ravel to orchestrate some of Spanishcomposer Isaac Albéniz’s pianomusic as a dance score. Instead Ravelsupplied Boléro, a “danse lascive” ashe called it – “orchestration withoutmusic” that would go on tooverwhelm the musical world withunprecedented popularity. Themusic’s unwavering repeatedrhythmic and melodic phrasesfeeding an insinuating crescendo putRavel’s name on the populist map.

The premiere was a major success,Ravel’s hypnotic music furthersparked by Rubenstein’s suggestivetable-top dancing in a scene set in arustic Spanish tavern. The Americanpremiere conducted by ArturoToscanini in Carnegie Hall onNovember 14, 1929 had similar masssuccess. Drawing foreseeablecomments as to its musical worth,Ravel simply stated “there are nocontrasts, there is practically noinvention except the plan andmanner of execution…it is forlisteners to take it or leave it.”
