The Santa Cruz Chamber Players 2012-2013 Season

Please join us for our thirty-fourth year, as we offer fine chamber music, beautifully performed by pro-fessional musicians who live and work in our own community. This year our music spans the globe and the centuries. We’ll hear from some of Russia’s greatest composers and take a trip on the Orient Express; we’ll experience mystical meditations and moments of happiness; we’ll be entertained and surprised – all of this presented in a comfortable and intimate setting, where the music is so close you can almost touch it.

Music from around the world = Musicians from around the corner

Henry Cowell was one of the remarkable figures in American music. A startlingly innovative com-poser, an inimitable piano virtuoso, the founder of institutions that propelled American composition to world stature, a brilliant writer, teacher and lecturer, Cowell almost singlehandedly laid the foundations for American compositional life. Yet while Cowell’s piano works revealed new vistas of sound, his advanced ideas always coexisted with a traditional melodiousness, stemming from his love of folklore, that renders even his most “experimen-tal” music immediately accessible. Cowell, guided by an unfailing faith in his instincts about sound, cultivated a multiplicity of compositional ap-proaches. Many piano pieces, for example, are con-ventionally played but make other novel demands. While Cowell’s later works seem more conserva-tive, his undying instinct for fresh thinking can be heard in the Quartet for Flute, Oboe, Cello, and Harpsichord, written for the harpsichordist Sylvia Marlowe in 1954. As in the much earlier Suite for Violin and Piano, Cowell availed himself of a ba-roque aesthetic, approaching it with his quiet wit and melodious heart. – Joel Sachs, Cowell biographer

Harpist Mrs. Fabien Sevitzky asked Cowell for a chamber work employing her instrument. Cowell adapted his harpsichord quartet which apparently had never been played in public.

André Jolivet has been called French music’s most sophisticated primitivist. Interested in drama, painting and literature in his youth, he eventually settled on music, studying cello and composition. His early works tended to be dense and atonal. However, during his service in the French Army in World War II, he grew interested in primitive religion and magic, and this intellectual quest soon informed his style.

He stated his intention as “restoring music’s original ancient sense, as the magical and incantatory ex-pression of the religiosity of human communities. Music should be a sonorous manifestation directly related to the universal cosmic system.” The Petite Suite, with its exotic melodies, rich harmonies and powerful rhythmic impulses, is part of this magi-cal style.

Jolivet’s body of works reflects his wide range of interests: he wrote ballets, symphonies, concertos, incidental music, choral works, songs, and chamber music. He wrote for traditional instruments, but he also delighted in unusual sonic combinations, writ-ing frequently for the ondes martinet and for such unusual ensembles as voice, organ and tambourine.

Jolivet was musical director of the Comédie Fran-çaise (1943-59), president of the Concerts Lamou-

reux (1963-68) and professor of composition at the Paris Conservatory (1965-70). At his death he was regarded, with Messiaen, as one of the leading figures in contemporary French music.

Born and raised in New York City, Stephen Main has music in his blood: his mother taught piano and his father, Tom Main, was a professional jazz trombonist with Si Zentner’s band in the 60s. As a choirboy Steve sang at St. Thomas Church Fifth Avenue under Gerre Hancock. He went on to study violin, piano, organ, theory and composition at the Choate School and then at Oberlin Conservatory. At the same time, he earned his B.A., M.A., and even-tually his Ph.D. in Religious Philosophy from the University of Chicago. He is currently the Music Director at Piedmont Community Church, in the Bay Area, where he composes and conducts regular choral and orchestral performances. Stephen is active as an organist, harpist and conductor, with recent appearances in San Francisco and through-out Northern California, New York, Cincinnati and Los Angeles. He lives in San Francisco and LA.

As a composer, Steve’s work has included the recent publication of new choral and symphonic works, multiple commissions, and the completion of the scores for several films. He is a First Prize Winner of the John Ness Beck award for a new American choral work, and a 2007 winner of the American Composers Forum carol contest. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune hailed Stephen’s work as “evocative” music that “captures mystery.”

Commissioned by COSMOS, a professional trio ensemble, Columbus Triptych encompasses three integrated movements. The first movement sets the tone with a cheerful introduction to the three instrument voices while foreshadowing the third movement’s theme. The middle section is marked with profound calm and creates the spiritual cen-

ter of the piece. The mood brightens again in the final movement, a vigorous fugue where the quiet melody of the middle section is finally allowed to soar. – notes by the composer

The music of Margi Griebling-Haigh has been characterized as haunting, charismatic, yearning, wistful, lyrical, colorful, and insoucient! She is concerned with conveying emotions and moods, but firmly believes in the powers of memorable melodies and rhythms and strong formal structure. While her music is sometimes technically chal-lenging and rhythmically tricky, consideration for the comfort and enjoyment of performers and audience members alike is of great importance. Her catalogue includes numerous songs and chamber music compositions, piano solo pieces, and orchestral works.

Griebling-Haigh is proud to be a member of a fam-ily which includes three generations of composers. Born in Akron, Ohio in 1960, she began her early musical training with her parents. Before graduat-ing from high school, she had already won many awards in composition on the local, state, and national levels. She studied piano with Margaret Baxtresser and oboe with Harvey McGuire and John Mack of the Cleveland Orchestra, and became principal oboist of the Akron Youth Symphony and the University Circle Youth Orchestra. Major-ing in oboe performance, she earned a Bachelor of Music degree from the Eastman School of Music with Robert Sprenkle, and a Master’s degree from the San Francisco Conservatory with Marc Lif-schey. – notes by the composer

About the Danses, Margi writes: “I was very excited when friends asked me to compose a quartet for this particularly gorgeous but strangely uncommon grouping of instruments. Even though a pairing of flute and harp might conjure thoughts of demure lavender floral wallpaper and mind-numblingly

polite social events, I decided to accept the chal-lenge thrown down with the daintily perfumed kidskin glove and write something which would take advantage of the full palette of colors. The spicy, witty impertinence of the oboe and the soulful, rich vibrancy of the cello, when added to the luster and agility of the flute and the startling explosive zing of the harp, provided me with ev-erything an artist could wish for. I have used these “pigments” to create a set of images of dances. While not being dances in the traditional sense, I hope this music will make the listener feel like leaping about the room with wild abandon rather than sitting with hands folded in her lap.”

Dennis Davenport is Chairperson of the Depart-ment of Music at Otterbein University. He has also served as Music Director for the BFA Musical The-

atre program. He has taught in the area of musical theatre at Rockford College, Clarion University of Pennsylvania, and Northern Kentucky University. Davenport’s degrees include an A.B. in Music from Princeton University, a Masters (Ph.D.) in Choral Conducting from Austin Peay State University in Tennessee, and a D.M.A. in Composition from the University of Oregon. In addition to serving as Otterbein liaison for the Westerville Symphony, Dennis plays keyboard in the orchestra. Dr. Dav-enport also serves as organist/pianist at Church of the Master United Methodist in Westerville.

The Celestial Harmony has a cosmic scenario somewhat in the manner of (and in homage to) Charles Ives’ composition The Unanswered Ques-tion. The harp represents the vastness and serenity of a night sky bright with stars. The dynamic level varies from note to note as stars vary in magnitude,

though there are occasional accented phrase group-ings, as if to suggest constellations.

The viola portrays an elderly “parishioner” who sits rocking on the porch of a cabin on a hillside, gazing at the sky and softly singing an old hymn, King-wood. The text associated with this early American tune contrasts and yet reconciles the transience of individual human life with the great cycles of the ageless heavens. The parishioner contemplates the sky and softly sings the hymn with a sense of peaceful resignation:

My days, my weeks, my months, my yearsFly rapid as the whirling spheresAround the steady pole;

Time, like the tide, its motion keepsAnd I must launch thro’ endless deepsWhere endless ages roll.

The flute is a watchful spirit who interprets and comments on the hymn, mediating between the earthly tune and the celestial harmony. The flute begins with a sympathetic obligato, then grows impatient with the plodding earnestness of the tune. After a mercurial flight culminating in a tart outburst, the flute decides once more to join and encourage the hymn singer, descending with a serene bell-pealing to earth, communing with and strengthening the singer in the final phrase of the hymn. – notes by the composer

nino Rota was an Italian composer and academic, best known for his film scores, notably for the films of Federico Fellini and Luchino Visconti. He also composed the music for the first two films of Fran-cis Ford Coppola’s Godfather Trilogy, receiving the Academy Award for Best Original Score for The Godfather Part II (1974).

Fellini remembers Rota: “The most precious col-laborator I have ever had – I say it straightaway and don’t even have to hesitate – was Nino Rota. Between us, immediately, there was a complete, total, harmony ... He had a geometric imagination, a musical approach worthy of celestial spheres. He thus had no need to see images from my movies. When I asked him about the melodies he had in mind to comment one sequence or another, I clearly realized he was not concerned with images at all. His world was inner, inside himself, and reality had no way to enter it … He was someone who had a rare quality belonging to the world of intuition. Just like children, simple men, sensitive people, innocent people, he would suddenly say dazzling things. As soon as he arrived, stress disappeared, and everything turned into a festive atmosphere; the movie entered a joyful, serene, fantastic period: a new life.”

Quintet for Flute, Oboe, Viola, Cello and Harp is a restrained but graceful welding together of the five instruments.
