Welcome to this exciting night of music... and more! Here in Denver we are spoiled with so many great options for entertainment, and we are so thankful that you have chosen to spend your night with us.
At the Denver Phil, we do things just a tad differently from what
you may be used to. While we ask you to silence your phone,
we don’t ask you to put it away. In fact, we encourage you to
tweet along with us and to engage with other patrons while
you enjoy the music. We don’t ask you to hold your applause
until the end of a piece — if you feel moved by what you’ve just
heard, we welcome you to show your appreciation to our very
talented musicians. We also encourage interaction between
our patrons and our musicians. Please, feel free to introduce
yourself to your favorite players after the concert at our
reception on the lower level.
Most importantly, we want you to have a great experience and to
come back. Our musicians are extraordinarily passionate about
performing quality live music and our volunteers have an equal
passion for creating a meaningful and unique experience. We
think this excitement will be felt by all that attend. Again, thank
you very much for joining us tonight — and we look forward to
meeting you and seeing you over and over again!
DEAR FRIENDS,
Sincerely,

We may be one of Denver’s oldest orchestras, but we certainly don’t act our age.
Dr. Antonia Brico, the first woman to con-
duct the Berlin and New York Philharmonic
Orchestras, founded our organization
in 1948 as the Denver Businessmen’s
Orchestra. Antonia settled in Denver
after conducting professional orchestras
across Europe and the U.S. She debuted
our orchestra to a packed auditorium
explaining the need for a classical music
venue to showcase the talents of local,
classically trained musicians “with no place
to play.” Twenty years later, we’d be known
as the Brico Symphony, and Antonia would
remain at the helm of the orchestra until
her retirement in the mid-1980s.
After nearly 40 years under Antonia’s
baton, the orchestra chose Russian-
American conductor Julius Glaihengauz
as its second music director. A graduate of
the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow,
Julius led the newly renamed Centennial
Philharmonic for 11 seasons.
In 1999, Professor of Music at the
University of Denver Dr. Horst Buchholz
took the baton. Our most recent name
change came in 2004, and we became
the Denver Philharmonic Orchestra. Horst
served as music director and conductor
through 2009, after which he was appoint-
ed the orchestra’s first Conductor Laureate.
Adam Flatt came onboard as music
director in June 2010. Adam’s dynamic
and inspiring leadership over the next
three years continued Horst’s legacy and
further increased the artistic quality of the
orchestra.
We selected award-winning conductor
Dr. Lawrence Golan as our conductor and
music director when Adam left in 2013.
Lawrence, a professor and music director
at the University of Denver’s Lamont
School of Music, continues to produce
innovative and quality programming,
challenging our musicians and delighting
our audiences.
And while we have a 67-year history in
Denver, our mission is to continually rede-
fine the way our community experiences
and engages with classical music.

Transcribing old music for modern instruments and modern audiences is essential for keeping classical music alive. From obscurity to Fantasia, the Toccata and Fugue in D minor is a splendid showpiece of orchestral potential.
WHAT’S A TOCCATA? WHAT’S A FUGUE? Like peanut butter and jelly, the toccata and fugue of the late
baroque period made a satisfying (and sticky) pair. The toccata
was traditionally a fantasy in the style of a cadenza; a virtuosic
flourish of technical and chromatic brilliance. A bright and tangy

marmalade, if you will. The fugue was
grounded, predictable, and seamless. A
nice smooth and creamy peanut butter to
hold the parts together.
The Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV
565, was originally composed for organ
sometime before 1708, written when Bach
was younger than 20 years old, although
it was never published in his lifetime. Fast
forward over 100 years later, and thanks
to performances of the work by Felix
Mendelssohn, the Toccata and Fugue
in D minor was published in 1833 and is
now one of the most recognizably famous
works in the organ repertoire.
ORCHESTRATIONThe now standard orchestral arrangement
by Leopold Stokowski of the Philadelphia
Orchestra was made famous in the 1940
Disney film Fantasia. Stokowski’s orchestra-
tion went beyond a simple transcription;
he calls for a very large orchestra with
extended instrument ranges across the
winds and brass:
Two flutes plus two piccolos; three oboes
plus English horn; three clarinets plus
bass clarinet; 3 bassoons plus contra-
bassoon; six horns; three trumpets; four
trombones; one tuba; timpani; two harps;
celeste; strings.
Bernard Herrmann once wrote: “We
admit that Bach never heard the Toccata
and Fugue in D minor in the way that
Stokowski has realized it but Bach must
have had that kind of sound in his mind.
He certainly did not have the sound
of some baroque church organ with a
couple of tired little boys trying to pump
air in at the back — but rather he must
have imagined a great cosmic sound and
Stokowski’s transcription is a metamor-
phosis of that sound.”

Three Black KingsDuke Ellington, Mercer Ellington (1899 – 1974) (1919 – 1996)
A master beyond the big band, Duke Ellington originally sketched Three Black Kings as a ballet. The orchestrated version on this program paints a vibrant and joyful picture through sounds.
Three Black Kings was the last major work written by Duke
Ellington. As he lay dying in his hospital bed in 1974, he gave
his son, Mercer, final instructions on how it was to be complet-
ed and orchestrated.
The first movement with its African rhythmic motifs depicts
Balthazar, the Black king of the Nativity. The wistful and lush
strings are interrupted in a rhythmic punctuation that will re-
mind listeners of a Stravinsky ballet.
The second movement is concerned with Solomon, King of
Israel. The mysterious opening bars give way to a lonely violin
solo, followed by other lone instruments before settling into a
typical Ellington ballroom dance feel.
The third movement celebrates Martin Luther King, Jr. with a
warm and comfortable feeling. The solo clarinet, capable of
sounding so sorrowful, is instead celebratory. The civil rights
activist was Ellington’s good friend; his inspiring triumphs are
memorialized in the uplifting and bluesy finale.

* Catch Me If You Can
was the 20th collabo-
ration between com-
poser John Williams
and director Steven
Spielberg.
“ Escapades” from Catch Me If You Can John Williams b. 1932
Catch Me If You Can is set in a nostalgically tinged version of the 1960s. Williams’ music was written as an impressionistic postcard of the progressive jazz movement, which was so popular at that time.
THE PLOT“Escapades” was composed by John Williams for the movie
Catch Me If You Can in 2002. It was based on the true story
of Frank Abagnale Jr., who drops out of school and within a
few years poses as an airline pilot, a doctor and a lawyer, and
passes millions in bad checks before being jailed through the

SAX 101The saxophone was named after the Belgian instrument mak-
er Adolphe Sax, who invented it in about 1840 and had it pat-
ented in 1846. Whether as a solo instrument or as part of the
orchestra, it seldom appears in traditional concert halls, other

than in a wind ensemble. Nonetheless,
before the instrument found its true
home — the world of jazz — it was to be
heard in classical music. Its first promi-
nent appearance was in Bizet’s incidental
music to Daudet’s “L’Arlésienne” in 1872,
yet it failed to become an established
member of the orchestra. There are,
however, countless chamber works which
include the saxophone and many concer-
tos for saxophone and orchestra.
THE CONCERTO“Escapades” is considered as a concerto
for alto saxophone and orchestra. It
bridges the worlds of film and concert
music. It was written in three movements:
The first movement is titled Closing In.
It consists of fast repetitions of triplet
motifs with an interval of a 3rd. The
light-hearted and slinky music relates to
the often humorous sleuthing; the FBI
always one step behind Frank. The addi-
tion of finger snapping and hissing from
the members of the orchestra give this
movement a touch of mystery.
Reflections is the title of the second
movement. It is a slow movement with
lyrical solo lines from the saxophone,
supported by the quiet strings and
interjections from the marimba. It
refers to the fragile relationships of the
Abagnale’s broken family.
The third movement is titled Joy Ride,
and it is! A playful and mischievous
theme accompanies Frank’s wild flights
of fantasy that took him around the world
before the law finally reined him in.

* Run time: 27 minutes
* Composer factoid:
Mendelssohn deeply
disliked this symphony;
he declared he would
rather burn it than see
it published.
Symphony No. 5 “Reformation”Felix Mendelssohn (1809 – 1847)
Only performed once in his lifetime, Mendelssohn’s “Reformation” Symphony is as close to programmatic as any of his works get. Chorale tunes and snippets abound in this soaring and subtle symphony.
MENDELSSOHN: THE MIDDLEMANFriedrich Nietzsche described Felix Mendelssohn as a
Zwischenfall, or that which falls between. He was speaking
about his place in time, between the musical giants of
Beethoven and Wagner. But it can also describe Mendelssohn
the man. He is well known as the 19th century’s most famous
Jewish composer, and also as one of the most profoundly
Christian ones. Born Jewish and baptized Protestant at age 7,
he lived somewhere between the two ideas. As an artist, he
waffled between conservative and progressive.
Hector Berlioz described Mendelssohn as “an admirable boy; his
skill as a performer is as great as his musical genius, and that’s
really saying a lot.” It seems, however, that posterity has trouble
accepting the happiness of Felix. Should not a real Romantic be
poor, ill, unhappy, and misunderstood? Wagner, the anti-Semite,
never forgave Mendelssohn his Jewish roots; Debussy saw him
as an “elegant and facile notary;” and for many musicologists he
was but a pale and vapid representative of musical Romanticism.
Felix was a middleman, a man who fell between.
REFORMATION AND RECEPTIONComposed in 1830, Mendelssohn’s fifth symphony, the
Reformation, was actually the composer’s second in the order
of composition (aside from the 12-string symphonies written
3 2 2 0 1 4 – 1 5 T H E S I X T Y - S E V E N T H S E A S O N
between the ages of 12 and 14). It was
originally intended as a commission for
the 300-year anniversary of the Augsburg
Confession of 1530, the principal de-
mands of the Reformation written by
Melanchthon and Luther and presented
to Emperor Charles V. Mendelssohn,
who had converted to Protestantism in
1816, gave the work the provisional title
Reformation, and although he never pub-
lished the work, the name stuck.
Mendelssohn only published two sym-
phonies in his lifetime. Perhaps he was
too busy performing, perhaps he could
not commit to formalizing his completed
pieces, or more likely — perhaps he was
too filled with anxiety to follow on the
3 3
heels of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony.
This symphony was originally conceived
following Mendelssohn’s success with a
set of concert overtures, however, the
more Classical styling and approach to
the subject gave both musicians and
audiences pause. The piece never even
made it out of rehearsals in Paris, where it
was supposed to be premiered.
Mendelssohn’s sister Fanny was clearly
dissatisfied with the work, calling it “the
beast” — a view her brother ultimately
came to share when he described it as
“a fat, bristly animal; an effective cure
for a weak stomach.” Ten years later, he
reaffirmed his negative opinion of the
work, calling it “a complete misfit.” He
explicitly denied publication of the work.
Mendelssohn’s friend Julius Rietz and his
son Paul eventually had it published after
the composer’s death in 1868.
THE SYMPHONYThe symphony opens with a slow intro-
duction in D major, focusing on the wood-
winds after the brief awakening section.
A declamatory fanfare introduces the
first statement of the “Dresden Amen,” a
nod towards Luther. Full of contrapuntal
motion, the key of D minor is firmly es-
tablished, reversing the Classical expec-
tations of introduction in minor keys and
body in major.
The second movement, entitled Allegro
vivace, is a fleeting scherzo somewhere
between a march and a dance, that
appears to break with the solemn char-
acter of the work; and yet, the “Dresden
Amen” appears once again in fragments.
The very brief third movement, marked
Andante, is a mournful, nostalgic lament
for strings which leads directly into the
finale, an Andante con moto based on
the Lutheran hymn Ein’ feste Burg ist
unser Gott. Like the opening movement,
the hymn tune is delicately played only
by the woodwinds, adding in more and
more instruments with each statement for
an organ-like effect. The chorale sounds
develop in to a fugue-like section which
breaks like waves before the entire cho-
rale melody returns as a cantus firmus in
the trombones. Mendelssohn’s frequent
use of counterpoint and fugato passages,
in combination with direct references
of chorale melodies, lends the work its
dignified, solemn character.

A FEW RULES…
3 5
CONCERT ETIQUETT E
BE COMFORTABLEThere’s no dress code. From jeans to
suits, you’ll see it all! Wear what you’d
like — you’ll fit in. We love you just the
way you are.
COUGHINGAhem… Try to ‘bury’ your cough in a loud
passage of music. If you can’t, or you
begin to cough a lot, don’t worry — it’s
perfectly acceptable and appropriate to
quietly exit the concert hall. Remember to
unwrap cough drops before the concert so
you don’t create crackling noises.
CRY ROOMChild feelin’ fidgety? We have a designat-
ed cry room at the back of the hall on the
right side of the main level (as you enter
the hall). The room is marked with a sign.
APPLAUSE 101Many concertgoers are confused about
when to clap during an orchestra’s perfor-
mance. Before the mid-19th century, au-
diences would routinely applaud between
movements to show their joy for the mu-
sic they just heard. Around the mid-19th
century, it became tradition in Germany
for audiences to wait until the end of the
piece to clap, sitting silently between
movements. That tradition spread and is
now commonly accepted and taught.
At the DPO, we welcome both traditions.
If you prefer to wait for the end of a piece,
that’s fine. If you want to respectfully show
your appreciation between movements,
we welcome that too. Regardless, we
want you to feel comfortable and focus
on the performance, not confusing ap-
plause rules!
If you are attending your first (or 300th) classical music concert, below are some frequently asked questions to help make your experience more enjoyable.

CONCERT ETIQUETT E
SIT TIGHTThe rumors are true — we’re pretty
informal. But we do ask that you sit tight
and quiet during the performance and
only get up between pieces or during in-
termission as to not distract the musicians
or concert-goers around you.
PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUTYou’re welcome to bring a water bottle
into the hall, but remember “Trail Rules”
— pack it in, pack it out. (This goes for
trash too!)

phones, pagers, and any other noise-
making device, including vibrate mode.

ORCHESTRA SPOTLIG HT
PATSY ARONSTEINFIRST VIOLINFOURTH DPO SEASON. Patsy started vio-
lin lessons in fourth grade and has played
ever since — well, you can try to do the
math. As a young adult, Patsy studied with
Harold Wippler here in Denver, played in
the Colorado Springs Symphony when she
was a student at Colorado College and
later joined the Arapahoe Philharmonic
where she played for 27 years. Patsy
received her B.A. in French from Colorado
College in 1980 and a Master’s degree in
French Literature from the University of
Colorado in 1985. Now retired, she taught
high school French at Colorado Academy
for the majority of her career, but spent
several years teaching at the University of
Denver and the University of Colorado as
an adjunct professor and teaching assis-
tant respectively. The past 10 years, she
has been a member of Friends of Chamber
Music’s Board and served as President
of the Board for the past three years.
She is an avid tennis player, skier and
enjoys traveling. Patsy also enjoys playing
chamber music with friends and is partial
to the repertoire for piano trio. Patsy and
her husband, Jim, have three sons — Will,
Tyler and Reid — and a handsome golden
retriever, Champ. She’s a true Francophile
right down to the violin and bow that she
is playing with tonight!
NICCOLO WERNER CASEWITSECOND VIOLINSEVENTEENTH DPO SEASON. Niccolo

degree from MIT in 1987. Niccolo
served as concertmaster of the Eichwald
Gymnasium Orchester in Germany and as
a principal violinist with the New World
Orchestra, also in Germany.
Niccolo plays in the second violin section
and this year marks his 17th season with
the Denver Philharmonic. He has per-
formed with a number of other chamber
groups, Denver bands, and ensembles
playing in a variety of musical styles includ-
ing alternative, rock, and jazz.
Nico recently composed original “folk”
music for the documentary film A
Beautiful Equation, a film directed and
produced by Boulder filmmaker Robin
Truesdale. The film documents the cre-
ation and performance of a theater piece
highlighting the humanistic stories from
the lives of the scientists Albert Einstein
and Neils Bohr as told by eight grand-
mothers; the theater piece was written
and directed by Len Barron. The film is
scheduled for a Fall 2014 release and will
be shown at film festivals.

ner and owns an architectural consultancy
specializing in historic preservation, mixed
use and education projects. Niccolo is a
past member of the board of the Denver
Philharmonic Orchestra, and currently
volunteers as administrator of the DPO’s
Facebook page.
Niccolo enjoys skiing, hiking and climbing
the Flatirons above Boulder. He hopes to
start painting landscapes with watercolors
as he did at a young age hiking with his
late father Curtis W. Casewit who was
the widely published travel journalist and
author.
WILLIAM COMBSPRINCIPAL TROMBONEFIRST DPO SEASON. William has been
playing trombone for 15 years. He
received his Performance Certificate in
Trombone from the University of Denver
in 2014, his Master’s of Music in Trombone
Performance in 2013, also from the
University of Denver and his Bachelor’s
of Music in Trombone Performance
and Music Education from Texas Tech
University in 2011.
In addition to alto and tenor trombone,
he also play the didgeridoo. William has
performed with the Lubbock Symphony,
Denver Municipal Band, Colorado Wind
Ensemble, Metropolitan Jazz Orchestra,
and the Denver Brass in addition to the
Denver Philharmonic Orchestra. On top
of his classical playing, William has been
featured as the “brass bass” for the stage
show, “Dancing at the Crossroads.”
When his work is something other than
playing trombone, it is usually based
around teaching and arranging. Both of
those pursuits are a love of his life. William
feels that nothing is better than the joy in
leading a student to a new place in their
musicianship or the creation of a new
piece of music.
Definitely a foodie and a cook, one of his
favorite things about moving to Denver
has been finding all of the little home
run restaurants and trying new foods and
dishes. William also enjoy driving through
the mountains and spending time at home
with his family.
