OLIVIER MESSIAEN
Born on December 10, 1908, in Avignon, France; died on April 27, 1992, in Paris
Un Sourire [“A Smile”]
Messiaen composed Un Sourire in 1989 on a commission from Marek Janowski to commemorate the bicentennial of Mozart’s death. A late work by one of the greatest composers of the past century, this moving tribute to another master evokes a music of the spheres that is both modern and timeless.
First performance: December 5, 1991, in Paris, with Marek Janowski conducting the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France.First Nashville Symphony performance: These are the orchestra’s first performances. Estimated length: 10 minutes
In a present eternity, I glimpse infinite life unbounded by Space and Time,” observed
Olivier Messiaen, one of the most original musical thinkers of the 20th century. In an age of secular detachment, his resolute Catholic faith supplied an inexhaustible source of inspiration for his art. For Messiaen, the achievements of a figure like Mozart belonged to the whole continuum of the created world and were evidence, like the beauty of nature, for a transcendent order and purpose.
Un Sourire is an especially memorable homage amid the plethora of commissions marking the Mozart anniversary year in 1991. It distills several of Messiaen’s musical preoccupations, including the use of specially designed modes to divide up the octave in ways beyond the familiar patterns of major and minor scales, the presence of birdsong transcribed in a more “realistic” way than the pretty, stylized scene painting of Romanticism, and the energy of complex rhythms. The piece also engages the symbolic associations of sound colors and harmonies.
WHAT TO LISTEN FOR Written by a composer in his 80s to honor an-other who died at 35, Un Sourire neither quotes Mozart nor even alludes to his style but rather filters Messiaen’s image of him: “In spite of his sorrows, suffering, hunger, cold, the incom-prehension of audiences, and the proximity of death, Mozart always smiled,” wrote the French composer, explaining his title for the piece. Un Sourire resembles a slow movement compris-ing two sections of alternate material. The first presents a simple, ethereal melody for the strings, which is further colored by woodwinds. In the second, Messiaen draws on his close studies of birdsong, here scored for percussion and woodwinds. Besides the instrumentation, the contrast between both sections is striking in tempo and character. The first is slow and nearly without pulse, tending toward infinity, while the second is a fast medley of hypercom-plex, asymmetrical rhythms.
As the two sections alternate, Messiaen subtly alters and lengthens each when it returns. Following the third occurrence of the

associated keys with colors and images, and he brings the piece to its close in A major, his key of blue skies and celestial serenity. As if pointing beyond the horizon and beyond time, the final chord seems to dissipate in slow motion.
Messiaen’s score calls for piccolo, 3 flutes, 3 oboes, English horn, 3 clarinets, 3 bassoons, 4 horns, trumpet, 2 percussion players, xylophone, xylorimba and strings (without double basses).
The Violin Concerto makes no pretensions to innovation, but
showcases Korngold’s high level of craftsmanship, winning lyricism, and
confident orchestration.

Born on May 29, 1897, in Brünn (then part of the Austro-Hungarian empire, currently Brno in the Czech Republic); died on November 29, 1957, in Hollywood, California
Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35
Korngold composed the Violin Concerto in the summer and fall of 1945, intending to make his return to the classical concert stage after years as a film composer. The result synthesizes both
sides of Korngold’s career by mining material from his film scores for its themes. Old-fashioned in its overall approach, the Violin Concerto is expertly crafted and engagingly tuneful.
First performance: February 15, 1947, with Jascha Heifetz as soloist and Vladimir Golschmann conducting the St. Louis Symphony. The Concerto is a product of Korngold’s later years as an exile in Hollywood. First Nashville Symphony performance: October 17 & 18, 2003, with guest conductor Enrique Diemecke and soloist Vadim Gluzman.Estimated length: 25 minutes
Being the son of Vienna’s leading music critic might have been intimidating to someone
less gifted, but it didn’t impede Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s progress. He raised the bar for child prodigy composers through the quality of his early achievements. He began to compose at age 8, and was only 13 when his ballet Der Schneeman (The Snowman) was given its premiere at the Vienna Opera. Gustav Mahler — not exactly a pushover in matters of musical judgment — was so impressed that he recommended a mentor for the jaw-droppingly gifted youngster. Decades later, long after the elder composer’s death, Korngold would dedicate his Violin Concerto to Mahler’s still-living widow, Alma, Korngold composed both lush big works and intimate chamber pieces, but he gained particular attention for his operas. In 1920 Korngold fever broke out
when his first full-length opera, Die Tote Stadt (The Dead City), written in his signature late-romantic, fin-de-siècle idiom, generated so much buzz that a fierce bidding war was conducted over which opera house in Germany would have the glory of premiering it. Korngold’s career path took a dramatic turn in the 1930s, when he pursued the new opportunities afforded by composing for the film industry. In 1929 he had collaborated with Max Reinhardt, a mover and shaker in the theater world, on a high-profile adaptation of Johann Strauss, Jr.’s Die Fledermaus in Berlin. Reinhardt talked Korngold into joining him in Hollywood, where he wanted his colleague to arrange Felix Mendelssohn’s incidental score to Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream for a new film version of the play, directed by Reinhardt.

will recall this is the Midsummer in which James Cagney plays Bottom and Mickey Rooney is a giddy-voiced Puck.)
Korngold tried to have it all by leading a bi-continental existence, split between Old World Vienna and sunny California. He happened to be in Hollywood, working on his score for The Adventures of Robin Hood starring Errol Flynn, when the Nazis annexed his homeland of Austria. Fortunately, the composer was able to arrange for his family to join him in California, which then became his new home. Until the end of World War II his focus was on writing film scores for Warner Brothers.
But Korngold longed to reclaim his position as a “classical” composer and would abandon the screen after Deception, the 1946 film starring Bette Davis. He began to work with the classical forms again, drawing on the musical inspiration he had been channeling into films. The Violin Concerto, in fact, mines melodies from several of his film scores. Polish violinist Bronisław Huberman, founder of the Israel Philharmonic, encouraged Korngold to write the Violin Concerto in the summer of 1945. The two hoped this would be the work that would mark Korngold’s concert hall comeback, but he had by now become typecast as a Hollywood artist. His “serious” music, by contrast, was frequently derided as passé. When Jascha Heifetz began introducing the new Violin Concerto, one of the meanest quips appeared in the New York Sun, where critic Irving Kolodin sneered that the score was “more corn than gold.”
Ironically, even as he was enduring a sequence of rejections in his final decade, Korngold had already become an important figure in American musical culture (though one without wide name recognition), thanks to the success of the films he worked on and his influence with his fellow movie composers. In recent decades, the quality of both his film scores and his “classical music” — particularly the Violin Concerto and the opera Die Tote Stadt — has been positively reappraised.
WHAT TO LISTEN FOR The Violin Concerto makes no pretensions to
innovation, but showcases Korngold’s high level of craftsmanship, winning lyricism and confident orchestration. The soloist greets us at once, without introduction, and traces a widely spanning theme, which was originally used in the film Another Dawn. Its yearning expansiveness neatly contrasts with the virtuosically choreographed music that serves as a transition passage. Another tune tenderly weaves the violin line in and out of the larger ensemble. (Its source is the period film Juarez, which featured Bette Davis as the wife of the 19th-century puppet ruler of Mexico, Maximilian I.) Following the cadenza, Korngold fills out the recapitulation with sparkling orchestral filigree.
The middle movement, a Romance, calls for gorgeous, soulful playing from the soloist, drawing on material that raids yet another film, the Oscar-winning Anthony Adverse. Here, in the music’s songful character, it’s possible to sense not just Korngold’s desire to return to concert music, but a sublimation of his frustrated opera career as well. The forthright expression of passions that became verboten in avant-garde circles in the postwar years was still allowed, after all, in the context of the movies (though film scores were also introducing mass audiences to some of the most experimental musical styles). The interlude in the middle of the movement apparently has no film origin, and represents a more purely “abstract” invention.
Korngold supplies a counterweight to the first two movements’ elevated lyricism with the rhythmic romping of the finale. This dashing rondo rounds off the Concerto in an attitude of exuberant extroversion, clearly showing that the composer seems to have absorbed something of the sensibility of his new country.
In addition to solo violin, the Concerto is scored for 2 flutes (2nd doubling piccolo), 2 oboes (2nd doubling English horn), 2 clarinets, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons (2nd doubling contrabassoon), 4 horns, 2 trumpets, trombone, timpani, percussion, harp, celesta and strings.

For all his Romantic experimentalism, Berlioz also
strives for the clarity of texture he found in those
Classicists he adored, Gluck and Mozart.
Symphonie fantastique
Berlioz composed the first version of the Symphonie fantastique in 1830, drawing on even earlier material, and
later revised the score. A cornerstone of Romanticism, this early orchestral masterpiece set the stage for a century and more of revolutionary musical developments.
First performance: December 5, 1830, in Paris, with François Habeneck conducting.First Nashville Symphony performance: October 26 & 27, 1959, with Music Director Willis Page.Estimated length: 50 minutes
Hector Berlioz is one of those composers who still manage to sound dizzyingly
original no matter how many of his ideas were taken up by later artists. Even though the Symphonie fantastique has long been a blockbuster of the repertory, it remains

baffling to imagine how a young composer — any composer, for that matter — could have created it. This piece has become one of the defining works of Romanticism in music, yet
stylistic labels can hardly do justice to the strange, haunting world Berlioz conjures here. Berlioz was just 26 when he conceived the Symphonie fantastique, having deserted the study of medicine six years earlier to follow his bliss. It’s somehow appropriate that 1830 marked a year of revolution in Paris. When Berlioz introduced the Symphony near the end of that year, this music sounded monumentally different from everything that had come before. Just three years after Beethoven’s death, Berlioz was using the power of his musical imagination to take the symphonic genre into startling new directions.
The Symphonie single-handedly defined a new Romantic agenda of program music in
which abstract sounds could be used to express autobiographical content. This is evident in the work’s subtitle, “An Episode in the Life of an Artist” (see sidebar). On one level, the Symphonie fantastique is a dramatic fever dream in which Berlioz projects his desire for the ideal woman, along with the unsettling consequences of that desire. But far more important than its reputation as a manifesto of program music — a status about which the composer later had doubts — is the autonomous musical narrative. The remarkable processes Berlioz pioneered in this score mimic the transformations that occur during dreaming or fantasizing, when what obsesses us is revealed in new and unpredictable lights.
WHAT TO LISTEN FOR It’s no coincidence that Berlioz titles the opening movement “Rêveries – Passions” (“Daydreams – Passions”). A slow, melancholy introduction of muted strings and uneasy pauses presents the protagonist, a passionate musician who is the

composer’s alter ego. In his solitude, the musician feels himself incomplete without his ideal love. When the first movement proper starts on the heels of this introduction, Berlioz presents a theme
to encode the beloved. This theme, threaded throughout the score, he calls the idée fixe. This “fixed idea” first appears as a restless, long-rang-ing flute and violin melody that evokes yearning. This melody conveys the artist’s obsession but is also a musical idea (readily fragmented into component parts) that plays a central role in the construction of the entire piece, and it recurs in dramatically varied contexts.
For all his Romantic experimentalism, Berlioz also strives for the clarity of texture he found in those Classicists he adored, Gluck and Mozart. This sensibility is even more apparent in the diaphanous beauties of the second movement (“A Ball”), with its exquisite harp coloring:
Berlioz also ranks among the most imaginative of orchestrators. The hero sinks further into loneliness despite the fleeting varieties of the waltz around him and continues to dream of his haunting beloved.
The third movement (“Scene in the Countryside”), the longest and most enigmatic, draws on aspects of Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony, only to arrive at a vastly different outcome. Berlioz’s innovative use of the orchestra goes beyond “special effects” such as the eerie sonority of violins striking the strings with the wood of the bow in the last movement. It also involves the way he mixes timbres in foreground and background to establish moods, with a riveting power that could rival any film director. The call-and-response of English horn and oboe paints a “pastoral duet,” but fears of betrayal lurk as a continuing torment. In this natural setting, the musician’s premonitions are projected as threatening weather. Berlioz captures the artist’s loneliness with a reprise of the wind duet music,

minus the expected response. Instead, rolling thunder answers back,
signaling the ominous direction the dream will take in the final two movements.
While the Symphonie fantastique’s first pair of movements dwells on the idealism of the musician’s love as an escape from the anxieties of real life, these last two track his descent into hell. “The March to the Scaffold” finds him drugged and dreaming of his own execution for the murder of his beloved. The excited bluster of the march itself suggests a sadistic crowd eager to witness the event. At its climax, Berlioz switches from the interior perspective to the panorama shot: a clarinet replays the idée fixe to signal the last thought that flashes through the musician’s mind before his decapitation. Afterward comes a shockingly graphic depiction of the guillotine’s descent. The crowd is left to jeer in barbaric triumph.
The final “Witches’ Sabbath” movement intensifies the transformation of dream into hellish nightmare: The musician proceeds to imagine his funeral in the form of a demonic orgy. The idée fixe is perverted into a leering taunt squawked by the high-pitched E-flat clarinet. The beloved, too, joins in, and her once enchanting

MAURICE RAVEL
Born on March 7, 1875, in Ciboure, France; died on December 28, 1937, in Paris
Ma Mère l’Oye (“Mother Goose”)
Ravel initially composed Ma Mère l’Oye as a suite for piano four hands in 1908-10, which he then orchestrated in 1911-12 to create a ballet work, adding some new material. The orchestral suite, which has become a concert hall favorite, offers an example of Ravel’s poetic re-creation of childhood fantasy and his beguiling mastery of orchestral texture and color.
First performance: The orchestrated ballet version was premiered in Paris in January 1912 in Paris. First Nashville Symphony performance: December 18, 1951, with Music Director Guy Taylor.Estimated length: 30 minutes
Ravel possessed a peculiar gift for evoking what he called “the poetry of childhood.” Much as
dance is a guiding thread through several of his most important compositions, themes involving childlike fantasy also recur again and again in his oeuvre. The two aspects — childhood and the dance — come together in the orchestral version of Ma Mère l’Oye (“Mother Goose”). Ravel initially conceived this music as a piano duet for two children he had befriended, Mimie and Jean Godebski. Their parents, a Polish couple who held salons that attracted a remarkable array of Parisian artists, provided a kind of alternative home for the composer. Biographer Gerald Larner observes that the death of Ravel’s father in 1908 likely predisposed him to muse on his own childhood as he entertained the Godebskis and “took refuge in fairy tale and the domesticity of the piano duet.” As a result, adds Larner, “there is
at least as much adult nostalgia as childish joy… and far more Ravel” in these pieces.
The original piano duet version of Ma Mère l’Oye, which carries the subtitle “five children’s pieces,” emanates a beguiling intimacy and ravishing sense of color. Ravel wrote the piano duet as a private gift for the Godebski children to play. But for the first public performance, in 1910, the kids weren’t up to the task—they complained it would require too much practice — and it was premiered by another pair of prodigies. The following year, Ravel orchestrated the pieces, rearranging their order and expanding the suite with connecting interludes to make it suitable as a ballet score. For this he concocted a scenario linking the famous fairy-tale stories that were the starting point of the piano pieces. These were drawn from multiple French sources, including Charles Perrault’s 1697 anthology, subtitled

Tales of Mother Goose, as well as from Perrault’s contemporary, Baroness d’Aulnoy, and from Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont.
WHAT TO LISTEN FOR The clarity and simplicity of presentation in this score belie the subtleties of Ravel’s orchestra-tion. In his scenario, the tale of Sleeping Beauty provides a framework for Ma Mère l’Oye. After a Prelude sets the scene in the manner of a preview, Danse du rouet et scène (“Spinning Wheel Dance and Scene”) depicts Sleeping Beauty as she pricks her finger on the spindle of an old woman’s spin-ning wheel and is cast into a profound slumber. Pavane de la belle au bois dormant, (“Sleeping Beauty’s Pavane”) ushers us along with the Prin-cess into a state of dreamlike simplicity with its brief, stately processional and meltingly beauti-ful writing for woodwinds. The ensuing tales are enacted as she sleeps, in episodes that precede the moment of her awakening in the final tableau. At the same time, the Pavane’s sustained wistfulness hints at the ambivalence of Ravel’s summoning of childhood — a past recaptured by the knowing adult’s memory.
In Les entretiens de la belle et de la bête (“Conversations of Beauty and the Beast”), Ravel details this unlikely love story in three parts. These chart the appearance of Beauty (clarinet) in a Satie-like waltz, the gruff pleas of Beast (contrabassoon), which emerge from the bass, and the mixture of both in a duet. A glissando from the harp signals Beast’s transformation into a handsome prince, who is now represented by violin in place of the contrabassoon.
Petit Poucet (“Tom Thumb”) recounts the tale
of the diminutive, poor woodcutter’s son who tries to plan a way out of the woods by dropping breadcrumbs, only to discover (like Hansel and Gretel) that birds have eaten them. Tom Thumb (oboe) wanders in confusion, trying to find the path, while Ravel’s vivid depiction of the birds near the end shows off his facility for conjuring nature.
Miniature people also figure in Laideronnette, impératrice des Pagodes (“Little Ugly, Empress of the Pagodas.”) Here, a princess has been made the ugliest woman in the world by a witch’s spell; she finds herself transported into a magical kingdom where her tiny subjects, robed in gems, serenade her with an orchestra whose instruments (the “pagodas” in Ravel’s sense) are made of the shells of walnuts and almonds. The nuanced touches from percussion enhance Ravel’s enchanting use of pentatonic melody and evoke an Asian gamelan ensemble.
For the concluding tale, Ravel introduces another handsome prince into his musical landscape. Prince Charming arrives to awaken Sleeping Beauty, and the wood becomes Le jardin féerique (“The Enchanted Garden”). Perfectly judged, painterly touches set the scene. A crescendo steadily builds, and the Suite ends with the triumphant sounds of wedding and coronation.
Ma Mère l’Oye is scored for 2 flutes (2nd doubling piccolo), 2 oboes (2nd doubling English horn),2 clarinets, 2 bassoons (2nd doubling contrabassoon), 4 horns, timpani, percussion, celesta, harp and strings.
Much as dance is a guiding thread through several of Ravel’s most important compositions, themes involving childlike fantasy also
recur again and again in his oeuvre. The two aspects come together in the orchestral version of Ma Mère l’Oye.

CAMILLE SAINT-SAËNS
Born on October 9, 1835, in Paris, France; died on December 16, 1921, in Algiers, Algeria
Concerto for Piano No. 2 in C minor, Op. 22
Saint-Saëns wrote his Second Piano Concerto in a mere three weeks in 1868. The Second is the most popular of his five concertos for the instrument, thanks to its pleasing blend of memorable themes and dazzling keyboard writing. First performance: December 13, 1868, in Paris, with the composer as soloist and Anton Rubinstein conducting. First Nashville Symphony performance: February 4 & 6, 1982, with conductor Enrique Bátiz and soloist Ruth Laredo.Estimated length: 25 minutes
The epic lifespan of Camille Saint-Saëns took him from the heyday of Romanticism through
the birth pangs of Modernism and the trauma of World War I. It overlapped with the musical revolutions spearheaded by Liszt and Wagner, the innovations of his compatriots Debussy and Ravel — to which he formed a bridge from Liszt — and Schoenberg’s introduction of atonality. Somewhat like the similarly long-lived poet William Wordsworth, Saint-Saëns himself fell victim to the changing tides of musical fashion. In his final decades he was cast as an archconservative and remained bitterly opposed to the sea changes of the early 20th century. Of his enormous output, which ranges across all the major genres (he even pioneered film music), only a handful of works is frequently heard today. Most of these are limited to a relatively brief span of his career when he was at the peak of his fame.
Saint-Saëns was barely out of diapers when his prodigious musical gifts began to manifest themselves. At two, according to his own recollection, he was dissecting household sounds with uncanny attentiveness, and imagining compositions made of chiming clocks and the whistling of the tea kettle. Saint-Saëns began performing at four, playing the piano parts of Beethoven’s violin sonatas. As he put it, he took to composition as naturally — and fruitfully — as an apple tree bears apples, tackling the symphony in his teens. After destroying an earlier attempt, he waited till the ripe old age of 18 to introduce his First Symphony to the public. Berlioz, who died the year after the Second Piano Concerto was composed, declared that his young colleague had one noticeable weakness: “He lacks inexperience.”
For all his productivity, an outlook of restless curiosity beyond the realm of music distinguishes Saint-Saëns from composers who live and breathe nothing but notes. His remarkable intellect spurred him to roam through an encyclopedic range of interests: philosophy, archeology, mathematics, botany, lepidoptery, stamp collecting, classical drama and painting — and not just in a “cocktail conversation” sense. He also became an inveterate and enthusiastic traveler. He wrote his last piano concerto, nicknamed “The Egyptian,” while vacationing among the temples in Luxor.

The Second Piano Concerto, however, is firmly rooted in the traditions of 19th-century Europe. Not surprisingly, Saint-Saëns was a formidable pianist himself (and legendary as well for his skills as an organist). For his first public recital, at the age of 10, he performed piano concertos by Mozart and Beethoven, and he eventually introduced all five of the Beethoven piano concertos to his native Paris, where they were still little known. The impetus behind the Second Concerto actually came from another composer and celebrity pianist, the Russian Anton Rubinstein, who had recently teamed up with Saint-Saëns for an ambitious series of concerts in Paris. In these, Rubinstein had performed as concerto soloist under Saint-Saëns’ baton, but he suggested reversing the roles and conducting a new concerto to be played by his colleague. Saint-Saëns had no difficulty producing the score in less than a month, though he was under-rehearsed for the exceptionally challenging solo part he had written for himself. The impression made by the premiere was muted as a result. Rubinstein later became a major champion of the work and helped secure its popularity.
WHAT TO LISTEN FOR Regarding their complementary musical person-alities, Saint-Saëns compared Rubinstein to the more extroverted Liszt and himself to Chopin. The Second Concerto actually amalgamates elements of the styles of both, along with fluid references to J.S. Bach, Mozart and Beethoven. Yet while Saint-Saëns shows strong neo-classical affinities in several other works, his approach to classical formal models here is relaxed.
The Concerto’s overall design swerves away from the conventional expectations of a fast-slow-fast format. Instead of a lively Allegro, Saint-Saëns begins with the slowest of the work’s three movements. And another surprise is in store: The solo piano sets the piece in motion on its own, without any curtain raising, in a lengthy passage that morphs from a very serious-sounding, Bach-
like keyboard toccata to a full-fledged cadenza. This leads up to the dramatic entry of the full orchestra — a reversal of the usual sequence wherein the orchestra builds suspense before the soloist takes the spotlight.
The piano introduces the moody first theme (which Saint-Saëns lifted from his student Gabriel Fauré), and the instrument dominates in other passages of this movement, but the scintillating choreography of its exchanges with the orchestra are characteristic of the Concerto as a whole. Notice, for example, the collaborative delineation of the second, heart-on-sleeve theme (a delectable moment all the more to be enjoyed, since Saint-Saëns neglects to reprise). An obviously Liszt-influenced style of muscular, hammering piano octaves emerges as the music develops. After another extended cadenza, the opening toccata-like music returns — this time with discreet orchestral accompaniment — before the dramatic close of this movement.
Having begun with an Andante in the minor, Saint-Saëns now proceeds with an impish major-key scherzo-like movement in E-flat. The Concerto in its entirety is easy to follow on a first hearing, but this movement is especially ingratiating. Saint-Saëns transforms an idea from Beethoven’s “Emperor” Concerto, in which the timpanist briefly takes the spotlight, and lets the drums introduce the skipping rhythm of the first theme. The music frolics along with call-and-response patterns and lightning-flash interjections from the woodwinds. Saint-Saëns continues to accelerate the momentum in the finale, which is a whirling dervish of a presto requiring the nimblest synchronization between soloist and orchestra. Despite the return to G minor, the atmosphere is closer to the animated energy of the preceding movement than the somber gestures of the opening.
In addition to solo piano, the Concerto is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, cymbals (optional) and strings.

ROBERT SCHUMANN
Born on June 8, 1810 in Zwickau, Germany; died on July 29, 1856 outside Bonn, Germany
Symphony No. 2 in C major, Op. 61
Schumann composed the second of his four symphonies in the winter of 1845-46. Epic in scope and ambitiously designed, the Second enjoys an especially favored status among Schumann connoisseurs.
First performance: November 5, 1846, with Felix Mendelssohn conducting the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra. First Nashville Symphony performance: November 18 & 20, 1982, with conductor Kenneth Schermerhorn.Estimated length: 40 minutes
The son of a bookseller, Robert Schumann always harbored an alter ego as a poet,
and wrote verse throughout his life. His work as a music critic — especially as editor of the ground-breaking Neue Zeitschrift für Musik — was probing and prophetic. Schumann’s artistic vision was inspired in part by his close affinity for literary figures from the first blushes of German Romanticism. The composer himself proved instrumental in writing the script for musical Romanticism, bringing a new sensibility to bear on the cultural understanding of what his predecessors had achieved. Schumann synthesized the language of the Viennese classicists and the counterpoint of Bach with his own brand of Romanticism.
The Second Symphony takes an especially ambitious view of the past, while at the same time representing something of a personal epic — a temporary triumph of order over chaos and irrational fate (see sidebar). Along with allusions to Beethoven’s “heroic” symphonies and the “victorious” resolution of the Fifth in particular, Schubert’s “Great” Symphony also
provided significant inspiration. Schumann had helped reclaim Schubert’s forgotten score from oblivion, arranging for Mendelssohn to conduct the posthumous premiere in Leipzig in 1839. Just a few weeks before embarking on the Second Symphony in 1845, Schumann had been once again deeply impressed by a fresh encounter with the Schubert, a work he famously praised for its “heavenly length.”
Yet another governing spirit that permeates the Second is that of J.S. Bach. Following a nervous breakdown in the summer of 1844, Schumann devoted himself to a close study of Bach’s counterpoint. The beautiful craft of the Baroque master’s example helped him regain composure. Biographer John Daverio observes that a significant shift in his attitude toward composing resulted. While Schumann’s gift for inspired improvisation had previously played a significant role, now “primacy of place [was given] to the act of reflection, to a more sober attitude toward the business of putting notes to paper.”

WHAT TO LISTEN FOR The symphony begins with a sustained, slow introduction in which a simple fanfare is en-trusted to the brass, though it is darkly shrouded by a fog of meandering strings. This fanfare will serve as a unifying core motif in the subsequent movements. The first movement proper gains tremendous momentum from Schumann’s ex-ploitation of a pronounced dotted-rhythm idea, which becomes the engine for a long and eventful development. Another kind of energy pervades the ensuing Scherzo, with its skittishly fleeting patterns in duple time rather than the conven-tional triple meter. The movement contains two separate trios (a Beethovenian touch), the second of which encodes a motif that spells out the name of Bach in its German musical “transliteration” (B-flat-A-C-B). There’s also a hint of Bach in the melodic contours of the C-minor Adagio, argu-ably the single most beautiful slow movement in Schumann’s cycle of four symphonies. It evokes a romantically filtered memory of Baroque pathos, and Schumann incorporates a fugal episode be-fore recapitulating the Adagio’s principal melody.
Yet the composer’s reverence for his predecessors, so apparent in the chain of influences on this score, goes hand in hand with a bracingly original approach to the symphonic genre. This originality is above all apparent in the remarkable architecture of the finale, as well as in its transformation of thematic ideas. The
overall character recalls the exhilarating energy of the first movement, as prominent dotted rhythms once again impart a sense of momentum excitedly pressing forward. Schumann also works in a speeded-up version of the Adagio melody as a second theme, continuing a cyclic recall of material from earlier in the symphony.
Schumann adds a wholly unexpected gesture to this process of integration. A startling change comes before the movement reaches its midpoint, as the musical argument is revealed to carry the possibility for yet another metamorphosis, this time with the entrée of a haunting new strain first heard on oboe. This melody alludes to Beethoven’s song cycle To the Distant Beloved (a coded message for Clara) and, in turn, Schumann’s own Piano Fantasy. The new, unexpected melody is nevertheless readily assimilated to its symphonic context and is woven ever more prominently into the proceedings. After a glorious meshing of the finale’s themes in the coda, Schumann brings the opening fanfare motto to the fore — now no longer doubtful and hesitant — to round out the Symphony in a spirit of jubilation and confidence restored. The Symphony No. 2 is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani and strings.
—Thomas May is the Nashville Symphony’s program annotator.
Schumann tried and abandoned several early
attempts at writing a symphony, but soon after
he married Clara Wieck in1840, he at last found his
way into the genre. Clara, who was also a pianist,
encouraged him to expand his ambitions beyond
the confines of the keyboard, and Schumann took
just four days to sketch out his First Symphony
early in 1841. He also wrote a symphony in D minor
that same year but held it back from publication.
He substantially revised the score a decade later,
hence its numbering as the Symphony No. 4.
The psychological mood that accompanied the
creation of the Second Symphony contrasted
dramatically with the happy confidence he had
enjoyed during the first years of his marriage.
The year 1844 brought the worst yet in a series of
nervous breakdowns that had plagued Schumann,
and the Second represented a process of healing.
He later confessed that he feared that the “semi-
invalid” state in which he composed this music
might be all-too-apparent to listeners: “I began
to feel more myself when I wrote the last move-
ment, and was assuredly better when I finished
the whole work. Still, it reminds me of dark days.”

GIANCARLO GUERREROMUSIC DIRECTOR
Giancarlo Guerrero is Music Director of the Nashville Symphony Orchestra (NSO) and
concurrently holds the position of Principal Guest Conductor of The Cleveland Orchestra Miami Residency. Last year, he led the Nashville Symphony to a GRAMMY® win for a second consecutive year with their recording of American composer Joseph Schwantner’s Concerto for Percussion and Orchestra. His previous recording with the orchestra of Michael Daugherty’s Metropolis Symphony and Deus Ex Machina won three 2011 GRAMMY® Awards, including Best Orchestral Performance. A fervent advocate of new music and contemporary composers, Guerrero has collaborated with and championed the works of several of America’s most respected composers, including John Adams, John Corigliano, Osvaldo Golijov, Jennifer Higdon, Michael Daugherty, Roberto Sierra and Richard Danielpour.
In the 2012/13 season, Guerrero makes debuts with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Deutsches Symphonie Orchester Berlin and Norwegian Radio Orchestra. He returns to the Boston, Indianapolis and Toronto Symphony Orchestras, Philadelphia Orchestra for both its subscription season and at Vail, Brussels Philharmonic, Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra and to Australia for performances with the Adelaide Symphony and Auckland Philharmonia. An advocate for young musicians and music education, Guerrero now returns annually to Caracas, Venezuela, to conduct the Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar and to work with young musicians in the country’s lauded El Sistema music program. This season he will also work with the student orchestras of Curtis Institute and the Colburn School.
In recent seasons Guerrero has appeared with many of the major North American orchestras, including the symphony orchestras of Baltimore,
Boston, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, San Diego, Seattle, Toronto, Vancouver and the National Symphony in Washington, D.C., as well as at several major summer festivals, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, The Cleveland Orchestra at Blossom Music Festival and Indiana University’s summer orchestra festival. He is also establishing an increasingly visible profile in Europe, where his upcoming engagements will include a debut appearance with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Last season, he led a five-city European tour with the Monte Carlo Philharmonic.
Early in his career, Guerrero worked regularly with the Costa Rican Lyric Opera, and in recent seasons has conducted new productions of Carmen, La Bohème and Rigoletto. Future plans include productions at the Houston Grand Opera and Marseille Opera. In February 2008, he gave the Australian premiere of Osvaldo Golijov’s one-act opera Ainadamar at the Adelaide Festival, to great acclaim.
In June 2004, Guerrero was honored with the Helen M. Thompson Award by the American Symphony Orchestra League, which recognizes outstanding achievement among young conductors nationwide.
Guerrero holds degrees from Baylor and Northwestern universities. He was previously the Music Director of the Eugene Symphony in Oregon. From 1999 to 2004, he served as Associate Conductor of the Minnesota Orchestra, where he made his subscription debut in March 2000 leading the world premiere of John Corigliano’s Phantasmagoria on the Ghosts of Versailles. Prior to his tenure with the Minnesota Orchestra, he served as Music Director of the Táchira Symphony Orchestra in Venezuela.

RSThe 2012/13 season marks Associate Conductor
Kelly Corcoran’s sixth season with the Nashville Symphony. During this time, she has conducted a variety of programs, including the Classical and Pops Series, and has served as the primary conductor for the orchestra’s education and community engagement concerts. She made her Carnegie Hall conducting debut in May 2012 with the Nashville Symphony during the Spring For Music Festival. This season she is also the Acting Director for the Nashville Symphony Chorus.
Corcoran appears this season with The Cleveland Orchestra, Naples Philharmonic, Louisville Orchestra, Knoxville Symphony and as a Music Director candidate with the Topeka Symphony and Fargo-Moorhead Symphony. She has conducted major orchestras throughout the country, including the Atlanta, Detroit, Houston, Milwaukee and National Symphonies, often with return engagements. In 2009, she made her South American debut as a guest conductor with the Orquesta Sinfónica UNCuyo in Mendoza, Argentina, returning for multiple subscription programs in 2011.
Named as Honorable Mention for the Taki Concordia Conducting Fellowship, Corcoran studied with Marin Alsop and shared performances with her and the Bournemouth (UK) Symphony and Colorado Symphony. Prior to Nashville, she completed three seasons as assistant conductor for the Canton Symphony Orchestra in Ohio and music director of the Canton Youth Symphony and the Cleveland-area Heights Chamber Orchestra. Corcoran attended the Lucerne Festival’s master class in conducting with Pierre Boulez.
In 2004, Corcoran participated in the National Conducting Institute, where she studied with Leonard Slatkin. Her past posts include assistant music director of the Nashville Opera, founder/music director of the Nashville Philharmonic Orchestra and fellow with the New World Symphony. Originally from Massachusetts and a member of the Tanglewood Festival Chorus for more than 10 years, Corcoran received her Bachelor of Music in vocal performance from The Boston Conservatory and her Master of Music in instrumental conducting from Indiana University.

ALBERT-GEORGE SCHRAM
Albert-George Schram, a native of the Netherlands, has served as Resident Conductor
of the Nashville Symphony since 2006. While he has conducted on all series the orchestra offers, Schram is primarily responsible for its Bank of America Pops Series.
Schram’s longest tenure has been with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, where he has worked in a variety of capacities since 1979. As a regular guest conductor of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra, Schram in 2002 opened the orchestra’s new permanent summer home, Symphony Park. From 1990 to 1996, he served as resident conductor of the Louisville Orchestra. The former Florida Philharmonic Orchestra appointed Schram as resident conductor beginning with the 2002/03 season.
In 2008 Schram was invited to conduct the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional of Bolivia and the Orquesta Sinfónica UNCuyo in Mendoza, Argentina. His other foreign conducting engagements have included the KBS Symphony Orchestra and the Taegu Symphony Orchestra in Korea, and the Orchester der Allgemeinen Musikgesellschaft Luzern in Switzerland. He has returned to his native Holland to conduct the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic and the Netherlands Broadcast Orchestra.
In the U.S., his recent and coming guest conducting appearances include the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Tucson Symphony, Louisiana Philharmonic, Oklahoma City Philharmonic, Spokane Symphony, Dayton Philharmonic, Shreveport Symphony, San Antonio Symphony, Allentown Symphony and the Mansfield Symphony.
Schram’s studies have been largely in the European tradition under the tutelage of Franco Ferrara, Rafael Kubelik, Abraham Kaplan and Neeme Järvi. He received his initial training at the Conservatory of The Hague in the Netherlands, then later moved to Canada to undertake studies at the universities of Calgary and Victoria. His training was completed at the University of Washington.

LEAVING A LEGACY, BUILDING A FUTURE
When Schermerhorn Symphony Center opened to the public in 2006, we envisioned our concert hall serving many generations for decades to come. If you have that same vision for the Nashville Symphony, then a planned gift can become your ultimate demonstration of commitment and support. You can help us plan for our future — and your own — through this creative approach to philanthropy and estate planning, which allows you to make a significant contribution to the Nashville Symphony while also enjoying income and tax benefits for you and your family.
Great orchestras, like all great cultural institutions throughout history, are gifts to posterity; they are built and bestowed to succeeding generations by visionary philanthropists.
To find out more about planned giving opportunities, please visit NashvilleSymphony.org/plannedgiving, or contact Hayden Pruett, Major Gifts Officer, at 615.687.6615

Client: Saint Thomas Heart – STHJob No: STHC-37814Title: Jessica for Performing Arts
Shortly after having her baby, Jessica was diagnosed with heart failure. While she waited for a transplant, she needed a heart pump. Through the care of the cardiac specialists at Saint Thomas Heart, Jessica’s heart was given new life by implanting a ventricular assist device (VAD) that helps the weakened heart pump blood throughout the body. Now, Jessica has a new lease on life.
With more than 25 practice offices located throughout the region, our physicians offer greater access to the high level of experienced care that Saint Thomas Heart is known for. Call 800-345-5016 to schedule an appointment with a Saint Thomas Heart cardiologist in your area.

One might say in our walk of faith, we’ve been down many paths. But few as exciting as the one we’re on now. With hard hats and rolled sleeves, we’re building a university that will serve students in greater, more innovative ways than ever in our history. Two new health science buildings providing state-of-the-art facilities for nursing and pharmacy.
In just the past 24 months— 16 new graduate programs,
with more to come, that meet the
demands of today’s workforce in fields
such as information technology and biomolecular science. And almost 60 new faculty members to help us keep our stride. Watch us as we hammer out our future and take some exciting steps forward.
We began with a simple, but powerful idea. Design and build a vehicle with such style, luxury, and capability that it would exude an unprecedented presence.
When we finished, we put that presence to the test. In the world’s busiest, brightest, fastest environments. We simply parked the all-new Range Rover Evoque and let cameras roll. To see more visit LandRoverUSA.com

THANK YOU TO OUR FUNDERS
SUPPORT THE ARTS: BOLT THEM TO YOUR CAR!
In Tennessee, we’re fortunate to have the Specialty License Plate Program, which provides 70 percent of the funding for the Tennessee Arts Commission. When you purchase one of these license plates for your car, you are directly helping to support the arts! The Nashville Symphony is just one of more than 800 organizations that benefit from the Tennessee Arts Commission’s grant programs, which help to improve the quality of life in cities and rural communities across this great state.
If you love the arts, now is the perfect time to pre-order Tennessee’s new arts license plate. Featuring a snazzy, letterpress-inspired design by Nashville graphic designer Leslie Haines, these plates are only $35 each, of which 90 percent will go to the Tennessee Arts Commission!
Before this license plate can go into production, 500 people need to pre-order it before the end of the year. Visit StateYourPlate.org and pre-order yours today! You don’t need to renew your registration because your local County Clerk’s office will pro-rate your annual renewal fee once the plate is available!
The Nashville Symphony thanks you for your sup-port of the arts! Arts organizations can’t succeed in their missions without funds from local, state and national government agencies.
