PROGRAM NOTESSEPTEMBER 19-20-21, 2014

Last year we opened our season with anorchestral showcase, featuring the MadisonSymphony Orchestra itself, with solomoments that highlighted the players ofthe orchestra. Your response to that concertwas enthusiastic and gratifying—and weopen this season with a concert titled“Orchestral Splendor.” The season beginswith the famous musical “sunrise” thatopens Strauss’s tone poem Also sprachZarathustra—a showpiece for every sectionof the orchestra. In Martin’s Concerto forSeven Winds, seven of our principal playerstake center stage—Stephanie Jutt, flute;Marc Fink, oboe; Joseph Morris, clarinet;Cynthia Cameron-Fix, bassoon; LindaKimball, horn; John Aley, trumpet;and Joyce Messer, trombone—togetherwith timpanist John Jutsum. And ina season where we are celebrating our10th anniversary in Overture Hall,it is fitting that we show off PleasantRowland’s gift, the Overture ConcertOrgan, in the grandest of all works fororgan and orchestra, the Symphony No. 3by Saint-Saëns.

RICHARD STRAUSS (1864-1949)Also sprach Zarathustra (“Thus Spoke Zarathustra”), Op. 30Strauss composed the tone poem Also sprachZarathustra in 1896, completing the scoreon August 24, and leading the premiereperformance in Frankfurt on November 27of the same year. The Madison SymphonyOrchestra has performed the work twicepreviously, in 1996 and 2006. Duration33:00.

While working on his opera Guntram in1892, Strauss read Nietzsche’s “prose-poem” Also sprach Zarathustra for the firsttime. Guntram eventually came to reflect

many of Nietzsche’s philosophical views,particularly his rejection of Christian belief.In Zarathustra (1883-85), his most widely-known work, Nietzsche uses as protagonistthe ancient Persian mystic Zoroaster(Zarathustra). Through the story of thisprophet, Nietzsche introduced his conceptof the superman, a person driven by whatNietzsche called the “will to power” to riseabove the “weak herd” of humanity. (Notsurprisingly, Nietzsche’s philosophy wascelebrated and grotesquely distorted some50 years later by the Nazis.) After thepremier of Guntram in 1894, Strauss beganto consider seriously the composition ofa tone poem based upon Also sprachZarathustra. The score is prefaced by alengthy excerpt from the opening ofNietzsche’s poem—in which Zarathustra,after 10 years as a hermit, rises to greet thedawn and resolves to descend from hismountain retreat and spread his wisdomamongst the people below. Strauss’sprogram for the work is not a narrative andliteral depiction of Zarathustra’s journey,but a more abstract interpretation of ideasfrom Nietzsche.

The opening is a powerful rendering of thesunrise of Nietzsche’s prologue—thanks toStanley Kubrick’s use of this passage in his1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey, this isperhaps the best-known 22 measures ofStrauss’s music. This passage not onlyprovides a powerful opening statement, butit also sets up the conflict between nature,light, and wisdom (C Major) and thestruggle of humankind that continuesthroughout the work. After the dawn hasrumbled to a close, Strauss uses chapter-headings from Nietzsche’s book to outlinethe form of his tone poem.

Program notes by J. Michael AllsenSponsored by Capitol Bank

In “Of the Dwellers of the Unseen World,”Nietzsche depicts the religious faith of themasses as a barrier to evolution towardthe superman. There is a suddenly-castdark shadow on this passage, which givesway to a more somber section titled “TheSong of the Grave.” Here, Zarathustralaments and celebrates the death of hisyouth, and Strauss creates a dark and mistytexture of strings and woodwinds.

A clear turning point in this work comeswhen Strauss quietly begins a fugue titled“Of Science” in the basses. Here, heskillfully blends together the themes of“nature” and “humanity,” and leads into anenormous orchestral climax. This scientificfugue gives way to an intense scherzo titled“The Convalescent”—a reference to thecathartic point in Nietzsche’s narrativewhen Zarathustra recovers from a longillness of the soul to emerge as a prophet.This comes to a peak with a massive brass

outburst—the opening motive—and after abrief enigmatic passage, the section endswith more lighthearted music for solostrings and woodwinds. In the “DanceSong,” Zarathustra comes upon a group ofyoung women dancing and joins in theirrevelry. This, the longest section of thework, begins as a somewhat incongruousViennese waltz for solo violin, but buildsgradually into an impassioned statementfor the full orchestra.

The final orchestral climax comes in the“Song of the Night-Wanderer.” Here isStrauss’s most direct depiction of the actionin Nietzche’s poem: a scene whereZarathustra, surrounded by his disciplessuddenly, at the stroke of midnight, intoneswords of warning and promise between thestriking of the bells:

ONE! O humanity, take heed!

TWO! What does the deep voice ofmidnight say?

voice. Born in Geneva, he was alreadycomposing at age eight, and began studyingwith a rather conservative teacher, JosephLauber, who taught primarily in a German19th-century style. Never really identifiablewith a particular style of 20th-centurymusic, Martin experimented widely in the1920s and 1930s with an eclectic range ofinfluences: the French music of Debussyand Ravel, music of India and the Balkans,Stravinsky’s neoclassical style, and even abrief flirtation with 12-tone technique a laSchoenberg. By age 50 he had settled on adifficult-to-characterize personal style, thatused colorful harmonies in unorthodoxways—what one of his biographersdescribes as “gliding tonality.” Recognitionalso came late for Martin. After the SecondWorld War, he settled in the Netherlands,but began to travel extensively, performingand conducting his own music. He alsocomposed virtually until his death at age85, with several works—including some

large-scale sacred pieces—written duringthe 1970s.

The Concerto heard here is an exampleof his mature style, and it also representsMartin’s fascination with unusualinstrumental combinations. Rather“neoclassical” in its tightly-organized forms,it also pays tribute to the old Baroque“concerto grosso” in its use of a groupof soloists in alternation with the fullensemble. In the opening Allegro, eachof the solo instruments is introduced inturn: solos for oboe and clarinet, a forcefultrio for horn, trumpet, and trombone,and a wry duet for flute and oboe. Themovement proceeds in a series of solophrases, led off by the bassoon, andends with a varied reprise of the openingmusic. The second movement (Adagietto:misterioso ed elegante) begins with aplodding ostinato, or repeated figure in thelower strings, and a haunting string melody

that sets up an immediate sense ofuneasiness. There are a series of solomoments until the bassoon, playing in avery high register, interrupts with a newidea and sets up a strident middle passage.The inexorable ostinato returns, but themovement ends with the bassoon melody,now played in a much more relaxed wayby the trombone. In the third movement(Allegro vivace) the various solo instrumentsbecome more virtuosic, and the timpaniassumes the role of an eighth soloist, withseveral prominent moments. This combinesseveral ideas in the manner of a scherzo:first an offbeat dance, then a more sprightlyidea dominated by the trumpet, andfinally—after a short percussion break—adour march. This is soon combined withthe bassoon/trombone melody from thesecond movement, now played passionatelyby the strings. After brief reminiscences ofthe opening themes, the clarinet introduces

a short and rather sarcastic new idea, whichis picked up by the rest of the soloists in afrantic coda.

CAMILLE SAINT-SAËNS (1835-1921)Symphony No. 3 in C minor, Op. 78 (“Organ”)Saint-Saëns completed the Symphony No. 3in 1886, and conducted the premiere inLondon on May 19, 1886. The MadisonSymphony Orchestra has performed the workin 1958, 2004 and 2010. Duration 36:00.

By the late 1880s, Saint-Saëns was athoroughly respected figure in Frenchmusic: a prolific composer, journalist,pianist, and longtime organist at theMadleine church in Paris. However,his music was being played less and lessoften in his homeland, in favor of lessconservative composers. While hisreputation as a composer was declining inFrance, both Saint-Saëns and his music

remained wildly popular in England andAmerica. Many of the large-scale pieces hewrote in the last 40 years of his long careerwere commissioned by English andAmerican ensembles. (His very lastcompleted orchestral work, for example,was a now-obscure overture called Hail!California.) The “Organ” symphony waswritten for the London PhilharmonicSociety. Its premiere was a huge success,and it remains the most popular of histhree published symphonies, and the singlemost popular work for the combinationof organ and orchestra.

Saint-Saëns was always something of aconservative, writing works along“Classical” lines, but the Symphony No. 3has several innovations, above and beyondits unusual orchestration (in addition to theorgan part, there is also a prominent rolefor piano, four hands). Though it has theusual four-movement outlines of a Classical

symphony, Saint-Saëns has absorbed thosesections into two large movements: the firstcombining the traditional, thoughincomplete, sonata-form first movementand slow movement, and the secondbringing together a kind of scherzo andmajestic finale. The Symphony No. 3 isalso highly unified, with close connectionsamong its themes, and hints of the grandclosing theme sprinkled throughout theearlier sections. It was published with adedication to one of the greatest Romanticinnovators, Franz Liszt. Saint-Saëns metLiszt for the first time when he was a10-year-old prodigy, and Liszt was alreadythe preeminent pianist in Europe. Theyremained friends for 40 years, untilLiszt’s death just a few months after thesymphony’s first performance.

After a short and dark Adagio introduction,the stormy main theme enters (Allegro).The second theme is actually taken from

the introduction. They are both developedand combined, but where we expect a fullrecapitulation, the mood turns calmer, andthe organ enters for the first time, as a quietbackground to a lovely Romantic melody(Poco adagio) presented in a series of gentlevariations. There is a brief moment ofdarkness when the main Allegro themereturns, but serenity wins out in the end,until there is a rather mysterious closingpassage.

The second movement (Allegro moderato)begins with astringent music for strings andtimpani, which is developed in intensecounterpoint. The Presto that follows is intrue scherzo style, with quick woodwindand string lines above rolling piano figures.This music is developed thoroughly, andthere is a repeat of the second movement’sopening theme. The scherzo returns brieflyin combination with a solemn low brasstheme, but then the organ, silent or in a

supportive role so far, suddenly takescontrol: a colossal C Major chord thatsets up a transition to the final section.The majestic theme that closes the pieceis a brilliantly transformed version of thebrooding Allegro melody of the firstmovement. This is developed in a greatfugal finale that closes in joyous fury.Saint-Saëns reportedly said of this ending:“I have given everything that I had togive; what I have done here I shall neverdo again.”

This all-Russian program features thereturn of Russian pianist Olga Kern,an audience favorite from two stunningperformances in 2009 (Beethoven’s thirdconcerto) and 2010 (Rachmaninoff ’ssecond concerto). She returns to performRachmaninoff at this program—an earlyvirtuoso work, his Piano Concerto No. 1.Framing this are a pair of MadisonSymphony Orchestra “firsts”—our firstperformances of the full Swan Lake Suiteby Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich’sSymphony No. 6.

PETER ILYICH TCHAIKOVSKY(1840-1893)

Suite from Swan Lake, Op. 20aTchaikovsky composed Swan Lake in1875-76. The first performance was at theBolshoi Theater in Moscow, on March 4,1877. The suite heard here was excerptedafter Tchaikovsky’s death. Though we haveplayed excerpts from Swan Lake on manyprograms, this is our first performance of thecomplete suite. Duration 31:00.

Tchaikovsky’s three fairy-tale ballets remainstaples of the repertoire—for both balletcompanies and orchestras: Swan Lake(1876), The Sleeping Beauty (1889), andThe Nutcracker (1892). Swan Lake wasTchaikovsky’s first attempt at writing afull ballet, and though his music waswonderful, the 1877 production was adismal failure, doomed by its lacklusterchoreography. There were several moreunsuccessful productions over the next fewyears, and Tchaikovsky always intended torevise the score, but died before he couldreturn to the project. Swan Lake wasfinally revived at a memorial program forTchaikovsky in 1895, in a version revisedby choreographers Marius Petipa and Lev

Ivanov which remains more or lessstandard today. This revised version,which retained Tchaikovsky’s music intact,was a complete success, and Swan Lakehas never fallen from the repertoire—therehave been thousands of productions sincethen. It also played a central role in therather disturbing recent film The BlackSwan, and there have been countlessreinterpretations...including a tongue-in-cheek all-male version by Les BalletsTrocadero de Monte Carlo—check it outon YouTube!

Swan Lake tells the story of Prince Siegfriedwho, as heir to the kingdom, must namehis bride at a ball held on his birthday.Unwilling to marry except for love, he takesoff in pursuit of a flock of swans. Just ashe is about to shoot one of the birds, herealizes that she is in fact a woman who hasbeen transformed into the form of a whiteswan: the princess Odette, who wasenchanted by the evil magician vonRothbart. Siegfried falls hopelessly in love,and threatens to kill the magician, only tobe stopped by Odette, who knows that ifvon Rothbart dies before the spell isbroken, she will remain a swan forever.Siegfried returns to the ball dejected, andthe prince’s parents introduce a series ofprospective brides, each of whom dancesto music from her native land.

The Suite’s opening Scene accompaniesOdette and her retinue of swans—all ofthem, of course, enchanted princesses—asthey glide across the surface of Swan Lake.What begins as a quiet oboe solo quicklygrows into a passionate romantic passagefor the full orchestra. The Waltz comesfrom Act II, and was originally intended fora large ensemble of peasants who danced inhonor of the prince at his ball. Tchaikovskyintroduces a series of lyrical lilting themes,including a fine trumpet solo, before thisdance ends in an energetic coda. The briefDance of the Swans has an appropriately“ducky” main theme played by oboes andbassoons to accompany an ensemble danceof Odette’s feathered retinue. The moreextensive Scene (Pas d’action) accompaniesthe passionate duet of Odette and Siegfiedfrom Act II, with a long lush introductionfor harp and solo violin, a light waltz led bythe solo violin, and finally a romantic duetfor violin and cello. The closing fourmovements are the national dances of theprincesses hoping to catch Siegfried’sattention at the ball in Act III. TheHungarian Dance (Czardas) opens withdramatic gypsy-flavored music that movesto a frenzied conclusion. The wild SpanishDance is driven throughout by castanetsand tambourine. The Italian princessgets a Neapolitan Dance, with a virtuosotrumpet solo that evokes joyful street musicin Naples. The final dance, for a Polishprincess, is a blazing and forceful Mazurka,which includes a humorous central trio forthe woodwinds.

SERGEY RACHMANINOFF (1873-1943)Concerto No. 1 in F-sharp minor for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 1Rachmaninoff ’s first piano concerto wascompleted in 1891, and was first performedby the Moscow Conservatory Orchestra, withthe composer as soloist, on March 17, 1892.Rachmaninoff made significant revisions tothe score in 1917—this is the version heard

at these concerts. The concerto was performedtwice previously by the Madison SymphonyOrchestra, in 1978 with pianist Tedd Joselsonand in 1998 with Stephen Hough. Duration24:00.

While young Sergey Rachmaninoff wascertainly one of the most promisingstudents ever to attend the MoscowConservatory, he also had a very delicateego. This is most obvious in the curious26-year genesis of the Piano Concerto No. 1.He completed his first concerto as a student,but he was thrown into a depression whenthe concerto received a lukewarm receptionat its first performance. His problemswere compounded five years later withthe disastrous premiere of his SymphonyNo. 1 in St. Petersburg. Even a successfulLondon tour in 1898, which included aperformance of the Piano Concerto No. 1with the London Philharmonic, could notshake him from a deep depression. He hadpromised to write a second piano concertofor a return engagement to England, butfound himself unable to compose. Onlywhen his family sent him to a hypnotist in1900, did he break out of his depression.The Concerto No. 2 and continued successas a composer quickly followed.

Rachmaninoff had long wanted to returnto the first concerto, and made severalabortive attempts to revise the piece overthe next 10 years, but finally got down towork in 1917, at the very peak of theBolshevik Revolution in Moscow. He laterwrote, “I had started to revise my firstpiano concerto, which I intended to playagain. I was so engrossed with my workthat I did not notice what went on aroundme. Consequently, life during anarchisticupheaval, which turned the existence of anon-proletarian into a hell on earth, wascomparatively easy for me.” Salvation forthe “non-proletarian” Rachmaninoff—amember of a wealthy aristocratic family—came in the guise of an offer for a concert

43

tour in Scandinavia. With some difficulty,he obtained a visa and left Russia, never toreturn. He brought the newly completedconcerto with him, and played it at one ofthe first concerts on the tour. After 26years, he was finally satisfied with thework—in his words, “…it is really goodnow. All the youthful freshness is there, butit plays itself much more easily.”

Rachmaninoff ’s debt to Tchaikovsky in thisyouthful work is obvious from the first barsof this piece—powerful horn fanfareswhich compete with crashing lines fromthe soloist. A brief cadenza leads into thefirst theme, a brooding, thoroughly Russianmelody. The main contrasting theme isintroduced in cantabile style by the violins.The movement as a whole is set loosely insonata form, though Rachmaninoff rarelyhesitates to introduce new material duringthe course of the movement. At the endthere is an enormous solo cadenza, one ofthe most challenging passages in all of

Rachmaninoff ’s piano music. The Andantebegins with a horn solo that gives way toa Romantic passage for piano alone. Thecentral section explores the opening hornmelody, now in greatly decorated form. Atthe end there is an abbreviated and highlydeveloped return of the piano’s solo theme,before the music gently dies away. Thefinale (Allegro vivace) was the movementthat received the most thorough attentionin Rachmaninoff ’s 1917 revision. It beginsin the manner of the first movement, aforceful competition between the pianoand the brasses. The exposition presentstwo groups of ideas, both of themcapricious and in a scherzo character.The opening section closes with solemnhorn chords, and in place of a formaldevelopment section, there is a lovelycentral episode, where the piano decoratesand then develops a flowing string theme.The opening scherzo character returnsabruptly and the concerto quickly comesto a noisy and spirited close.

DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH (1906-1975)Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Op. 54Shostakovich composed this symphonybetween April and October 1939. YevgeniMravinsky conducted its premiere inLeningrad (St. Petersburg) on November 5,1939. This is our first performance of thework. Duration 31:00.

Throughout the late 1930s, Shostakovichplayed a dangerous game with Sovietartistic authorities, always skirting theedges of official disapproval. Things cameto a head in 1936 over his opera LadyMacbeth of Mtsensk. The opera had openedin 1934, and ran successfully until Stalinhimself attended a performance in 1936and angrily stormed out of the theater.Shostakovich was soon denounced inPravda, and he quickly withdrew boththe opera and his just-completed fourthsymphony. The Symphony No. 4, a starkly

emotional and stunningly modernist workwould almost certainly have been toomuch, and Shostakovich did not allow itspremiere until long after Stalin was safelydead. Shostakovich prepared for thepossibility that he might at any time besent to Siberia by keeping a small travelbag packed and sitting by the door of hisapartment. His reputation was rehabilitatedby his fifth symphony of 1937, a dramaticwork which he gave the meek subtitle“practical answer of a Soviet artist tojustified criticism.”

Back in the government’s good graces,Shostakovich took up a position asprofessor at Leningrad’s conservatory,and was careful to play the role of theGood Soviet Composer. Over the next fewyears, he wrote mostly stirring film scoresand patriotic choral works. He initiallyannounced that his sixth symphonywould be a grand “Lenin Symphony” for

vocal soloists, chorus, and orchestra thatwould incorporate a patriotic poem byMyakovsky. When it was finallypremiered in 1939, the Symphony No. 6was something entirely different thanthis—a small and entirely unconventionalthree-movement symphony. In describingit, Shostakovich wrote:

“The musical character of the SixthSymphony will differ from themood and emotional tone of theFifth Symphony, in which movementsof tragedy and tension werecharacteristic. In my latest symphony,music of a contemplative and lyricalorder predominates. I wanted toconvey in it the moods of spring,joy, youth.”

The audience loved it at its premiere, anddemanded an encore of the thirdmovement. The official critics, who may

have been miffed by the fact that this wasnothing at all like the promised “LeninSymphony,” were more suspicious.

Biographer Ian McDonald has comparedthe placid mood of the opening movement(Largo) to the “quiet and static” natureof Shostakovich’s career in this period.Soviet critics, searching for some Socialistsignificance in the Largo, explained it as akind of sequel to the fifth: a reminiscenceby the Soviet hero depicted in the earliersymphony, looking back on his strugglesand triumphs before launching into thevitality of the two scherzos. Others saw it asan elegy to Lenin. Whatever his intentions,the Largo presents two contrasting musicalideas in an effective and unhurried way.It begins with quiet string lines thatgradually grow to a muted climax forthe full orchestra. One influence on thismusic may have been Shostakovich’sintense study of Bach while teaching at

the Leningrad Conservatory, and this slowcontrapuntal exposition certainly seems toconfirm this. A long central passage takeson the character of a somber march withinterruptions by solo woodwind lines abovequiet tremolos from the strings. In the endthere is a more agitated recapitulation ofboth main ideas before the music quietlydies away.

Shostakovich balances the long Largowith two short scherzo-style movements.The first of these (Allegro) is based on afrantic clarinet theme. Aside from a briefmoment of drama at the center, the tone isexuberant throughout with just a hint ofsarcasm. He ratchets up the tempo evenmore for the finale (Presto), which haselements of the old Classical rondo form.The main theme, which reappearsthroughout, is a fleeting conversationbetween the strings and woodwinds.Contrasting ideas appear—a rumbling bass

line that grows into a brief outburst by thebrass, and series of short cadenzas. Themain theme reappears only to betransformed into a rather heavy-footedpolka by the brass at the end.
