Program NotesBonham (1988) Scored for a percussion ensemble of eight players, Bonham is an ode to rock drumming and drummers, most particularly Led Zeppelin’s legendary drummer, the late John (“Bonzo”) Bonham. The core ostinato of the score, played by the drum set, is reminiscent of Led Zeppelin’s When the Levee Breaks, although there are references to other Led Zeppelin songs as well, such as Custard Pie and Royal Orleans. In addition, two other sources are cited: the Butterfield Blues Band (Get Yourself Together) and Bo Diddley, whose adoption of the traditional “hambone” rhythm added so much to the distinctive style of his material.

Completed in Fairport, New York, on November 13, 1988, Bonham was commissioned by the New England Conservatory of Music through funds provided by the Massachusetts Arts Council. It was first performed in April 1989 at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston by the Conservatory Percussion Ensemble conducted by its music director, Frank Epstein, to whom the work is dedicated.

Sequence from Act 1 of Hamilton (2015)Hamilton is a musical about the life of American founding father Alexander Hamilton, with music, lyrics, and book by Lin-Manuel Miranda and others. In 2016, it was nominated for a record-setting 16 Tony Awards, winning 11 (including Best Musical), and was also the recipient of the 2016 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, and the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The final six songs from Act 1 are featured here today.

Notezart (2017)I very much enjoy finding a way to make various kinds of music live together. So in this piece, you will hear 12-tone passages along with quartal/quintal and triadic harmony. To create unity, I use a steady pulse throughout and a strong reliance on the interval of the perfect fourth, which opens the third movement from Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik—inspiration for Notezart. My “stolen” music (the work’s centerpiece) is cast in a quasi-Renaissance style—with the exception of the duet between trumpet and trombone, more in keeping with an 18th-century variation.

Gloriosa (1990)Gloriosa is inspired by the songs of the Kakure-Kirishitan (Crypto-Christians) of Kyushu, Japan, who continued to practice their faith in secret after the ban of Christianity in the 17th century. The worship of the religion brought with it a variety of western music previously unbeknownst to the region.

Though practicing Christianity was forbidden by the authority of the Tokugawa Shogunate in Edo (modern day Tokyo), Kakure-Kirishitans continued sharing sermons and singing disguised songs. Melodies and lyrics such as Gregorian chant were “Japanized,” for example, the Latin word “Gloriosa” was changed to “Gururiyoza.” This adaptation of liturgy for religious survival inspired Yashuhide Ito to write this piece to examine this cultural mystery.

About the three movements that make up the work, Ito writes:

I. Oratio

The Gregorian chant “Gloriosa” begins with the words, “O gloriosa Domina excelsa super sidera que te creavit provide lactasti sacro ubere.” The first movement, Oratio, opens with bells sounding the hymn’s initial phrases. The movement as a whole evokes the fervent prayers and suffering of the Crypto-Christians.

II. Cantus

The second movement, Cantus, showcases a brilliant blend of Gregorian chant and Japanese elements by opening with a solo passage for the ryuteki, a type of flute. (Tonight’s performance will be played on a piccolo.) The theme is based on San Juan-sama no Uta (The Song of Saint John), a 17th-century song commemorating the Great Martyrdom of Nagasaki where a number of Kyushu Christians were killed in 1622.

III. Dies Festus

The third and final movement, Dies Festus, takes as its theme the Nagasaki folk song, Nagasaki Bura Bura Bushi, where many Crypto-Christians lived.

Prelude to Act III of Lohengrin (1850)The story of Richard Wagner’s opera, Lohengrin, takes place in Antwerp, in the early 10th century. The maiden Elsa is falsely accused of murdering her brother, the rightful heir to the throne. A knight arrives in a swan-drawn boat and agrees to defend Elsa’s honor. The knight demands that Elsa never try to determine his origin or name. Elsa consents, and the knight defeats her accuser. Elsa and the knight wed, but soon, she becomes suspicious. Finally, she asks the knight the forbidden question. The knight reveals his identity. He is Lohengrin, a Knight of the Holy Grail. Because Elsa has violated her trust, the heartbroken Lohengrin must leave her forever. Before he departs, Lohengrin prays, and the swan is transformed back into the person of Elsa’s brother.

Wagner saw the story of Lohengrin as a metaphor of the artist’s attempt to gain understanding within society. He began work on the text of Lohengrin in 1845, finally completing the score on April 28, 1848. The opera received its premiere in Weimar, under the direction of Franz Liszt, on August 28, 1850. In time, Lohengrin emerged as one of Wagner’s most beloved works. The prelude to Act III has also enjoyed a regular presence in the orchestral concert hall.

The brief and “very lively” (Sehr lebhaft) prelude to Act III depicts the celebrations attending the wedding of Elsa and Lohengrin.

Symphonic Metamorphosis on Themes of Carl Maria von Weber (1943)In 1938, German composer Paul Hindemith left his native country. He first moved to Switzerland, and then, in February 1940, to the United States. The following month, Hindemith attended a performance by a ballet company led by the famous dancer and choreographer, Leonide Massine. After the performance, Massine told Hindemith that he wanted to stage a new ballet, featuring arrangements of music by the German early-Romantic composer Carl Maria von Weber (1786–1826). Because of strong artistic differences between Hindemith and Massine, the project never came to fruition.

After the fallout with Massine, Hindemith used the intended ballet music as the basis for his most popular work, Symphonic Metamorphosis on Themes of Carl Maria von Weber. Hindemith completed the orchestral piece in the summer of 1943. Symphonic Metamorphosis received its premiere at New York’s Carnegie Hall on January 20, 1944. Artur Rodziński conducted the New York

6

Philharmonic. The audience greeted the work (and the composer, who was in attendance) with a stirring ovation.

For the 1944 premiere, Hindemith refused to disclose the precise origin of the various Weber melodies included in the Symphonic Metamorphosis. Subsequently, various musicologists identified the pieces, which are noted below.

I. Allegro

The first movement, a vigorous Allegro, is based upon Weber’s piano duet, op. 60, No. 4.

II. Turandot, Scherzo. Moderato

The second movement employs music from Weber’s 1809 Overture to Turandot. The original Weber piece was part of incidental music he composed for Friedrich Schiller’s translation of Carlo Gozzi’s 1762 play (Gozzi’s Turandot, the story of a Chinese princess, also served as the inspiration for Giacomo Puccini’s final opera of the same name). In contrast to the opening movement, the Scherzo begins quite delicately, but soon generates its own momentum and power. In addition to the evocation of Chinese atmosphere, jazz elements also make an engaging appearance.

III. Andantino

The work’s slow-tempo movement, based upon music from the Six Pieces for piano duet, op. 10, highlights the winds of the orchestra.

IV. Marsch

The finale, a boisterous march, features music from Weber’s piano duet, op. 60, No. 7.

Rashid Williams, drum set 2019 Schwartz Artist-in-Residence

Rashid Williams’s style and precision in drumming is recognized throughout the music industry. His dangerous combination of chops, groove, and impeccable timing is undeniable. Williams, a self- taught musician, began playing drums at age three and professionally for churches and choirs at age seven. Although not inclusive, Williams is known for

8

his talent and energy on the R & B stage. Music is woven in the fabric of Williams family; he descends from a long line of musical talent, singers, and musicians. He has been featured in Drumhead and Modern Drummer magazines. In January 2018, Modern Drummer announced Williams as the winner of its 2018 Reader’s Poll in the R & B/Funk/Hip Hop category. Some of Williams’s drumming influences include Elvin Jones, John Roberts, Brian Frasier Moore, Russ Miller, and Phil Collins. In September 2017, Williams launched his company, Little Fat Jimmy LLC, an organization that promotes the ideal of a better society for the youth.

As an independent artist, Williams is currently touring with multi-platinum artist John Legend. He has also toured with Eric Roberson, Goapele, N.E.R.D., Jill Scott, Diddy Dirty Money, JCole, and Alicia Keys. He is also listed among Cirque du Soleil’s roster of producers and drummers.
