WELCOME
Welcome to today’s concert, Great Inventions where we take you through the history
of the most useful inventions known to humankind one by one. Just kidding… but, in
this concert you can look forward to a selection of music by great composers, each one
marked by a truly unique attempt to try something new, some inspired by inventions
while others inspired by the inventors themselves.
I’m especially excited to be performing a movement from Samuel Jones’ Concerto for
Tuba and Orchestra. This very clever piece was inspired by James P. Crowder, an aircraft
engineer at Boeing renowned for his work in air dynamics. He also played the tuba! It has
some knotty sections for the soloist, and the past few weeks I’ve oscillated between exhil-
aration and terror while practicing. There’s a little pattern the tuba plays that sounds and
looks like the curlicues of air over aerodynamic surfaces - it twists and turns as Samuel
Jones plays around with the harmonic and rhythmic tension the shape creates. This in-
vites us to imagine the protagonist refining his designs (with trips to his basement studio
where he would work and listen to Wagner) and retesting his work until the motif flows
like water at the end and we have the triumphant finish.
Today we’ll also perform for you Debussy’s Pagodes from Estampes and Haydn’s famous
Symphony No.101 inspired by the world’s most timely invention, the clock! As well as many
other works I know will surprise and delight. We hope you enjoy today’s performance!

BEFORE WE BEGIN
Before we get started with today's performance, let's get to know a few musical terms in
the Listening Guide.
Libretto the text of an opera or other long vocal work.
Fortissimo a passage of music marked to be performed very loudly.
Scherzo a scherzo is usually a fast-paced and playful short composition
or sometimes a movement in a larger work that often contains
elements of surprise.
Solo cadenzas an improvised or written-out passage of music played in free time
by a soloist.

PROGRAM | GREAT INVENTIONS 5
LISTENING GUIDE Joseph Haydn (1732–1801) The Creation Representation of Chaos Symphony No. 101 in D (The Clock) II. Andante The era in which Haydn lived is often called The Age of Reason. It was a period of epoch- making discoveries in the sciences, and of the world’s first Encyclopedia. For much of this time Haydn was a composer working for the Esterházy family. But much of the music he wrote for them was disseminated widely, and when he emerged to go “freelance” in the 1790s he discovered that he was one of Europe’s most famous composers. Now in his sixties, he travelled to London (seeing the sea for the first time), where he and his music were lavished with praise. It was there that he was asked to set the text of The Creation, an anonymous English libretto, to music. It would go on to become one of his most ambitious and popular pieces. In chronicling the creation of all living things, Haydn begins with a representation of chaos. Yet, in intellectual life at this time there was a focus on order, not disorder. Perhaps this is why, to our modern ears, Haydn’s musical picture of amorphous space sounds relatively unchaotic. While bringing the world to life for soloists, chorus and orchestra might seem like the ultimate in inventiveness, Haydn also had time to chronicle the movement of the mechanical clock, in one of his most widely played symphonies. Devices for telling the time were invented as long ago as ancient Babylon, but the first fully mechanical clocks did not become widespread in Europe until the 13th century. Five centuries after that, Haydn’s musical evocation of a timepiece is as charming and graceful as the day it was composed. When the music begins, you might wonder what surprises Haydn has in store for you. Well, many changes of instrumental colour, for one, the main tune being passed around the orchestra like someone showing off their new watch; and a great fortissimo which leads to a change of key, and a suggestion that perhaps not all timepieces are reliable! 6 PROGRAM | GREAT INVENTIONS
Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683–1764)
Dance Excerpts from Platée
Rigaudons
Tambourins
Orage
When Rameau died in 1764 the Mercure de France wrote: ‘Here lies the God of Harmony.’
To say he was the country’s leading composer is putting it mildly. His operas became so
popular that in 1749 the Paris Opéra ruled that they would only present two of his operas
a year, ‘for fear of discouraging other composers.’
Platée is about a marriage between the god Jupiter and an ugly nymph of the marshes.
It went on to become a huge success, although the opera was spectacularly ironic –
Rameau composed it for the wedding of the French Dauphin, Louis (son of Louis XV)
to the Spanish princess Maria Teresa, who was said to be far from a great beauty.
Dance music was integral to life at the French court, and to its operas as well, so Rameau
wrote elaborate dances into all his operas. Of the three numbers you’ll hear from Platée
today, and perhaps the most vivid, is the Storm (Orage), in which you can virtually see
the dancers running for cover.
Ludwig Van Beethoven (1770–1827)
Symphony No. 3, Eroica
III. Scherzo: Allegro vivace
Famously, Beethoven angrily crossed out his title page dedication of the Eroica to
Napoleon, on discovering that Napoleon had crowned himself Emperor of France. But the
symphony has also earned its place in history for its game-changing innovations.
Written only two years after Beethoven’s Second Symphony, it is far longer than any
symphony composed up to that time, and sees him expanding and strengthening the
structural underpinnings which hold a symphony aloft. His powers of invention rarely
shone more brightly than in this truly revolutionary work.
The fleet-footed Scherzo is a perfect example. Swift and purposeful, yet with an
occasional twinkle in its eye, there is a heart-stopping moment when we reach the
traditional Trio section, and hear – yes – a Trio…of horns.
PROGRAM | GREAT INVENTIONS 7
LISTENING GUIDE Claude Debussy (1862–1918) arr. André Caplet Pagodes from Estampes Much of Debussy’s mature piano music is concerned with sensation – with sights, sounds and even aromas. By the time of his Estampes (Engravings or Prints) in 1903, he was able to evoke these impressions of the external world with miraculous subtlety and refinement. Pagodes is the first of the set of three Estampes, and evokes the Balinese gamelan orchestras Debussy first heard at the Paris Exposition in 1889. The repetitions and permutations of its pentatonic melody (a pentatonic scale contains only five notes), and the long-held notes beneath it, suggest an atmosphere of stillness and timelessness. The orchestral version of Pagodes created by Debussy’s disciple André Caplet is miracle of re-composition, with the sonorities implicit in the original now made shimmeringly explicit, thanks to celeste, triangle, cymbals, gong and harps, and the delicate interplay between wind, strings and brass. The rich, ecstatic atmosphere of the final bars is almost palpable, and a tribute to Caplet’s insight into Debussy’s world. Samuel Jones (1935–) Concerto for Tuba and Orchestra III. Largo; Allegro molto There are many ways to describe the tuba, and ‘a large wind tunnel’ might be one of them. In fact, this concerto, by North American composer Samuel Jones, came about as a direct result of an invention in which wind tunnels played a crucial part, because it was inspired by James P. Crowder, who was a Senior Technical Fellow at Boeing. Crowder was renowned for his work in flow visualisation – the science of seeing the motion of air as it flows over solid surfaces at high speed. Not only that, he loved music, and was an enthusiastic amateur tuba player. Ergo a tuba concerto seemed like a great way to honour his memory and, after his death in 2002, his widow Sandra commissioned this piece for soloist Christopher Olka and the Seattle Symphony. Jones says of the Concerto’s third movement: “One can clearly hear the wind tunnel’s propeller accelerating as it groans toward its predetermined speed. Once there, the tuba enters… illustrating musically the same swirls of air along a wing’s surface that Jim Crowder illustrated visually in his work. But there are some turbulences that need to be smoothed, so we hear the wind tunnel decelerate, and the aeronautical engineer returns to the basement workshop in his home and listens to his favourite music — Wagner's Ring Cycle — while he mulls over ways to improve the smoothness of the flow…in the process.” 8 PROGRAM | GREAT INVENTIONS
Stuart Greenbaum (1966–)
City Lights, A Mile Up
There are some inventions it’s impossible to imagine modern life without. Among them
would be the lift, without which buildings would not be very tall; the tea bag, without
which every workplace, church hall and school fete would be strewn with tea leaves (OK
there’s a lot more to say about this invention, but I’ll move on); and the aeroplane, which
made the world a much smaller place it had been before the Wright Brothers successfully
flew the first one in 1903.
If you can recall a time when boarding a passenger aircraft was a relatively
straightforward procedure, you’ll also remember the special, quiet delight of descending
over a city by night. It’s the magic of this moment that Melbourne-based composer
Stuart Greenbaum captures in this orchestral picture, with a gently gliding main tune
decorated by glistening harp and piano figures.
Stuart says about this piece: “Arriving on a clear night by plane often provides beautiful
views of a city’s lights mapping out the electric architecture of human civilisation. It’s
a welcoming image – the guiding lights for travellers arriving at a new destination or
returning home.”
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844–1908)
Capriccio espagnol
The list of memorable ‘Spanish’ music written by non-Spaniards is extensive, from Bizet’s
Carmen to Chabrier’s España. One of the most exhilarating and inventive works inspired
by the sounds of Spain is this one which, in the composer’s own words, “glitters with
dazzling orchestral colour.”
Rimsky had been a naval officer, and in that capacity toured the Mediterranean in the
1860s. It was then that he first heard the folk music which would, more than 20 years
later, inspire this work created in five sections and played without pause. The opening
Alborada, or morning song, is subjected to a series of brilliant variations; a number of
solo cadenzas (Scene) leads to the sinuous Gypsy Song until a harp solo whisks you to
the Fandango, the final moments of which are almost incandescently jubilant.
Capriccio espagnol was a triumph for Rimsky-Korsakov, even before the first
performance: the rehearsals for the 1887 premiere, in St. Petersburg, were frequently
interrupted by the musicians’ applause.
