PROGRAM NOTES
                            Austrian composer, Franz Schubert (1897-
                            1828) was born in the outskirts of Vienna and
                            lived the rest of his life in-and-around the
                            city. If one considers the other best-known
                            Viennese composers of his time (Haydn,
                            Mozart and Beethoven), Schubert was alone
                            among them to have not immigrated to the
                            city from other regions. A Vienna native, the
                            son of a local school teacher, Schubert was
                            “home grown,” and in his short lifetime,
                            he managed to compose some 1,500 works
      Franz Schubert        for nearly all the standard classical-music
genres. Dying very young at just thirty-one, the prolific Schubert left
behind 600+ songs for voice and piano, seven complete symphonies
(in addition to the so-called Unfinished Symphony), and a large number
of chamber music works and solo piano compositions. Although an
agnostic himself, Schubert also produced a significant body of sacred
works — seven masses, an oratorio and a requiem.
Schubert composed the Mass in G major when only eighteen. It is the
second of his masses, appearing just a year after the first. The Mass in
G is relatively short, but full of wonderful lyricism and youthful fervor.
It was written in less than a week during early March 1815 (203 years
ago this month!). The mass was originally scored for soloists, chorus
and string orchestra, but after a later-dated set of parts was found
(1980s) in Schubert’s hand, apparently the composer decided to make
some minor changes to the score, to which he also added trumpet and
timpani parts. After his death, as the work became popular and was
sung by larger choral ensembles, Schubert’s brother also took it upon
himself to add a set of woodwind, brass and timpani parts to help
produce a more symphonic orchestral accompaniment.
The Mass in G is in six movements, and like many musical settings
of the text, Schubert separates the liturgically joined Sanctus and
Benedictus portions of text into separate movements. It is not known
why Schubert failed to set the first phrase of text in the very last
sentence of the Credo (Et Expecto resurrectionem mortuorum / “And I
expect the resurrection of the dead”). Perhaps his stance as an agnostic
might have had some bearing on this, but why an agnostic would set
the mass text at all is a mystery. The great American conductor Robert
Shaw took the liberty of inserting, in an appendix to his edition of
the work, the missing text phrase in the correct place, producing a
liturgically correct alternative (changing only the rhythm of the choral
part). Today we will hear Schubert’s original setting of the text.

PROGRAM NOTES
Wolfgang Amadé Mozart (1756-1791) composed
no fewer than fifteen piano concertos
between 1782 and 1786. The preperatory
seasons of Advent and Lent were often the
best times for Mozart to sell subscriptions
to concerts that featured his compositions
and solo performances, and during the
Lenten season of 1786 he produced three
piano concertos at “white heat.” This gave
him the opportunity to advertise new works
for his upcoming subscription concerts.
These performances were regularly held Wolfgang Amadé Mozart
in the homes of wealthy and well-connected music patrons, and the
subscription fees received often saved Mozart from serious financial
trouble. Mozart’s A-major concerto (K.488) was the middle work of
those three speedily composed works, and it has come down to us as
one of the most popular of Mozart’s piano concertos.
Mozart is credited with developing the Classical-era piano concerto
to an extremely high point at the end of the eighteenth century.
About Mozart’s role as a concerto composer Louis Biancolli writes
the following:
    Constantly experimenting and developing, he had achieved a new synthesis
    in this medium. The solo piano had moved toward closer intimacy and
    teamwork with the orchestra . . . And with this new fusion appeared a
    fresh fund of expressive power . . .There was a new depth and a new sense
    of stress and conflict in these concertos.
From the very opening of the orchestral exposition, the first movement
is bright, cheerful, graceful and positive, with just a hint of melancholy
in the center development section — a foreshadowing of the darker
emotions featured in the slow second movement. Although cadenzas
were often places for soloist improvisation in the Classical era, the solo
cadenza near the end of the movement was written out in its entirety
by Mozart. The very end of the movement holds a surprise, in that it
ends quietly and playfully, like a carriage disappearing in the distance.

PROGRAM NOTES
                          Spanish prodigy and violin virtuoso, Pablo
                          de Sarasate (1844-1908) was born in the city
                          of Pamplona in the Navarre region of Spain
                          near the French border. He began studying
                          violin with his father, and afterwards with
                          a local teacher. The gifted boy presented
                          his first public concert at age eight.
                          Sarasate’s enormous talent was immediately
                          recognized, and he was given a scholarship
                          to study in Madrid, where he was heard
                          and befriended by Queen Isabella II — the
     Pablo de Sarasate    queen even presented a Stradavarius violin
to the young Sarasate. At age twelve, he was sent to Paris to study
at the Conservatory, and at age seventeen won the school’s highest
performing honor. Sarasate made his Parisian debut at age twenty-six,
and went on to tour Europe, and the Americas. As a composer, Sarasate
wrote almost exclusively for the solo violin, most often with piano or
orchestral accompaniment. His pieces often exhibit the direct influence
of Spanish music, but Zigeunerweisen (lit. “In the manner of Gypsies,”
but usually entitled in Engish Gypsy Airs) is an exception. This work for
violin and orchestra (1878) was modeled after both slow and passionate
Hungarian Gypsy melodies and the fast-tempo czardas (Hungarian
folk dance). One of the Gypsy-like melodies in this work is well known
in popular culture as “Hearts and Flowers,” and the fast czardas
section features a melody that Sarasate borrowed from Hungarian
Rhapsody No.13 (1847) by Franz Liszt.
Writing about Zigeunerweisen, program annotator Laurie Shulman
comments:
    It is a nine-minute showpiece for the soloist, relegating the orchestra
    almost exclusively to a supportive role of chordal accompaniment. Over
    the course of four broad sections, the violinist engages in all manner of
    technical display, including harmonics [where the player’s finger lightly
    touches the string in certain places to produce high, colorless sounds],
    rapid passage work, spiccato runs [passages where the bow is bounced
    rapidly off the strings], and big, beefy themes in double stops [passages
    where the bow plays two strings simultaneously].
Sarasate’s accompanying orchestra for Zigeunerweisen includes flutes,
oboes, clarinets, bassoons, horns, trumpets, timpani, percussion
and strings.

PROGRAM NOTES
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) is without
a doubt the most performed Russian
composer in the United States, and he has had
a profound influence on American culture,
both in the concert hall and in the realm of
popular culture. He was the first Russian
conductor to perform in the United States
when he was invited in 1891 to open Carnegie
Hall with concerts of his own works. His late
symphonies, Nos. 4, 5 and 6, are performed
frequently by all of the greatest orchestras in
the nation, his opera Eugene Onegin has been       Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
performed more than 130 times at the Metropolitan Opera in New
York since 1920, and his ballets, especially Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty,
and of course, the Nutcraker, are performed yearly in countless venues
in the United States.
In popular American culture, it is nearly impossible to escape
the influence of Tchaikovsky’s compositions. It is his music that
accompanies the fireworks at major civic Fourth of July celebrations
(1812 Overture), and it is his music that invades those countless winter
holiday films and television commercials that either directly quote
or at least parody familiar excerpts from the Nutcracker. Speaking
of the Nutcracker, myriad American towns as large as New York or
as small as Ames dutifully observe the annual holiday tradition of
producing complete staged productions to sell-out audiences. The
New York Times lists over 100 full-length feature films that employ
the music of Tchaikovsky, and this list is certainly incomplete. Even
Disney capitalized on Tchaikovsky’s music. The musical score to the
animated film Sleeping Beauty is based entirely on the score of the
Tchaikovsky ballet.
Another of Tchaikovsky’s works, parts of which appear as frequently
in pop-culture media as in the concert hall, is the work we will hear
today — the Overture-Fantasty Romeo and Juliet (composed in 1869,
revised in 1870 and again later in 1880). The “love theme” from
Romeo and Juliet is recognized (or at least heard) by people from every
segment of society — by those who are classical music aficionados,
and those who are not. Even the “007” movie Moonraker employed
the “love theme” (tongue-in-cheek) at the point when the nasty shiny-
toothed character “Jaws” becomes smitten as he beholds his wide-eyed
love interest.

PROGRAM NOTES
Like many composers of the Romantic era, Tchaikovsky was fascinated
by the works of Shakespeare, and in addition to his Overture-Fantasy
Romeo and Juliet, he also produced a Hamlet Overture. Romeo and Juliet
does not follow Shakespeare’s story line exactly, but instead presents
important emotions connected with specific personages and scenes
from the drama. Commentator Jonathan Kramer puts it this way:
   The Overture adheres to the outlines of sonata form more than to the
   plot of Shakespeare’s play. Hence it is not very specific as program music.
   Nonetheless, certain themes do represent various characters and episodes
   in the drama. The andante introduction, with its church-like harmonies,
   depicts Friar Lawrence. The ensuing allegro, with its fast scales and
   rhythms, represents the feuding of the Capulets and the Montagues.
   The love theme, which is one of Tchaikovsky’s most inspired romantic
   melodies, refers to the doomed love of Romeo and Juliet. The work ends
   with the deaths of the protagonists.
In my graduate student days, Tchaikovsky’s music was considered
“out” in terms of serious art. His music was faulted for being weak in
terms of form, and for being overly sentimental. Fortunately, great
performers never “left the fold,” and continued to play Tchaikovsky’s
music to warm audience reception. In more recent years, Tchaikovsky’s
music also has been embraced anew by many fine music scholars. It is
important to remember that Tchaikovsky is first and foremost a great
and gifted melodist. To wit, who among us can leave the hall after
hearing Romeo and Juliet without humming (at least in our heads) the
haunting and captivating “love theme.” — Success!

                                                                 - Jeffrey Prater

A NOTE FROM THE CIS BOARD
Dear Central Iowa Symphony patron,
When you think of classical music in Ames and Central Iowa, you know
that the Central Iowa Symphony consistently brings you entertainment

Throughout the year we bring you high-quality performances of some
of your favorite pieces of musical literature. In addition, Central Iowa

the high-quality performances you have come to expect. Gifts in the
amounts of $150, $300, $500, $1000, or $2500 can significantly help us
achieve our goal of fostering superb performances, offering satisfying
musical experiences, and nurturing educational and cultural growth
in central Iowa. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, your donations
are tax deductible. We sincerely hope you consider Central Iowa
Symphony in your planned giving.
Sincerely,
