Welcome

For these morning symphony and maca Limited classics concerts we have constructed a colourful, engaging program of works; some very well known, and one not at all well known.

our evening concerts open with a work by the great american composer Elliot carter that astonishingly is receiving its australian premiere 70 years after it was written! carter, who passed away in 2012 at the grand age of 103, had one of the most productive ‘Indian summers’ of any composer; he completed more than 40 pieces between the age of 90 and 100, and 20 more after reaching his centenary. He produced his acclaimed first opera What Next? at the age of 90. although he is known more for the modernist, rhythmically and harmonically complex music of his later years, the Holiday Overture comes from his early, Neo-classic period and, like much american music of the time, is relatively straightforward, clear and optimistic.

Borodin’s Polovtsian Dances and Rachmaninov’s symphony No.2 are firm audience favourites: emotionally engaging and filled with evocative melodies and rich orchestral colours. Rachmaniov’s symphony is beloved for the third movement, a sublime adagio that seems (to this writer at least) filled with longing and a certain wistful nostalgia.

These concerts see dynamic young Venezuelan conductor Diego matheuz making his waso debut. matheuz is a graduate of the Venezuelan El sistema, a publicly funded, free classical music education program that promotes opportunity and development for impoverished children. Its founder, José abreu, believes that music is a powerful agent of social change and development, and the success of his compelling vision has inspired similar programs across the world. as part of our community Engagement and Education program, last year waso initiated its own sistema-inspired program at three schools in Kwinana. The program seeks to empower children from disadvantaged backgrounds through classical music by helping them reach their full potential.

speaking to Limelight Magazine about his career and musical training, matheuz noted that “the philosophy of El sistema is that the orchestra represents the perfect society – because everybody has to play together to sound good so it is the perfect community.”

we couldn’t agree more and hope you enjoy these concerts conducted by Diego matheuz.

andrew Tait performs his viola de gamba

EChO in SchoolsBuilding on the success of our well-known and much-loved Kids’ cushion concerts, Echo (the waso Education chamber orchestra) continues to share the love of music with young people through our Echo in schools program.

Featuring one of each instrument of the orchestra, the 15-piece ensemble will perform interactive and engaging programs for students at a number of primary schools in Perth’s metropolitan and surrounding areas throughout 2015.

This year we are launching two great new shows – EChO’s Outback Adventures and S(w)ing along with EChO – both of which are customisable to suit students from Kindergarten through to Year 6. add in a fabulous presenter, plenty of audience participation during a 50-minute musical journey and finish up with a Q&a or even a have-a-go session on our student-size instruments after the show, and what better way is there to introduce students to our orchestra.

Ward visits hit the right note at PMH “Keep doing what you are doing” Nurse, Outpatients, Princess Margaret Hospital for Children

Now in our seventh year of the Hospital orchestra Program (HoP), waso musicians regularly visit Princess margaret Hospital to entertain and educate the children, their families and carers in this healthcare setting. march 24 was the first of six visits planned for the year ahead. Joshua Davis (Principal Trombone) and Liam o’malley (assoc Principal Trombone) performed trombone duets whilst andrew Tait (double bass), pictured, took along his viola de gamba. The morning was spent visiting all wards in the hospital, including performances in outpatients and day programs as well. musicians, teachers, and children all enjoyed the extra time spent to be able to ask our musicians questions about being in waso. The highlight for everyone was definitely the opportunity to sing along to familiar tunes – a first for everyone to sing Incy wincy spider in Ionian mode accompanied by andrew on his viola de gamba.

meeT The mUsician

Adam Mikuliczassociate Principal Bassoon

Do you come from a musical family? my family are not especially musical but I was always supported and encouraged to play from the beginning. my mother used to sit with me daily as I’d pluck my way through my scales on the guitar (classical guitar being my first instrument), gently suggesting that I might like to make a second attempt when a few too many blue notes would creep into the mix.

How long have you been performing with WASO and what have been your highlights?It’s hard to believe this is my sixth year with waso. It’s difficult for me to pick out an individual highlight but any week when we have a masterwork to play with a conductor we’re in awe of and everyone summons the heightened senses and skill at their command; those concerts are the highlights.

What is the most challenging thing about playing the bassoon?Reeds. I hate to sound predictable but it’s true. Reed players (clarinettists, oboists and bassoonists) are constantly recreating our mouthpieces out of an organic matter which is forever changing. I am humbled on a daily basis by the changeability of arundo donax (the plant that our reeds are made from).

If you had to choose any other instrument to play in the orchestra, what would it be? I’ve thought about this question from time to time and the older I get, the more I’m convinced that the bassoon is the best match for me. I love the earthy, ancient sound of the bassoon and I enjoy its versatility in the orchestra. we often play a supporting role in the orchestra so one

might not be as familiar with its timbre, but I feel that when the spotlight is on us we often bring an exotic colour to the canvas.

What do you enjoy most about your career?I feel so privileged to work in an orchestra. a close friend of mine once said that the orchestra should be considered a “wonder of the world” and I tend to agree. It’s mind boggling to me, the way a group of people can come together, each with their own musical and life experiences, to recreate a work of art that is often of another time and place. I love music and the tradition of the symphony orchestra and my colleagues are like a family to me.

If you could choose any favourite holiday destination where would it be? of the national and international travel I’ve done, I find western australia a hard act to follow. I had the time of my life on a snorkelling trip with friends to the Ningaloo Reef, swimming among schools of fish, turtles and small reef sharks. I had an equally unforgettable time collecting my thoughts looking over the archipelago with a glass of local wine in my hand in Esperance after our Beethoven Festival last year.

Elliott Carter (1908 – 2012)

Holiday Overture ausTRaLIaN PREmIERE

after graduating from Harvard, and like a great many american musicians of the 20th century, Elliott carter travelled to Paris to study with the doyenne of neoclassicism, Nadia Boulanger, who had influenced, especially, aaron copland, Roy Harris and Virgil Thomson. until the late 1940s, carter’s aesthetic of diatonic harmony, clear, if complex, counterpoint and strong rhythm was more or less in accord with theirs, though after that time he struck on his own path to become one of the greatest and most individual modernists of the century.

The Holiday Overture was written at the very end of his neoclassical phase (copland, writing Appalachian Spring, was a house-guest) in 1944. It won a prize that should have seen it premiered by the Boston symphony orchestra, though in the event it was first performed in 1946 in Germany by the Frankfurt symphony, keen to show its love for american music in the aftermath of the war.

In fact, the piece was inspired by news of the liberation of Paris, but while its mood is upbeat, it does, as carter scholar David schiff puts it, ‘begin as Piston, but end as Ives’. That is, it moves from a well-disciplined neoclassical mood to one of slightly seemingly chaotic abandon.

But carter’s formidable technical skill is always evident, especially in his expanded harmonic palette, in the layering of up to five different elements that move simultaneously, and in brilliantly colourful orchestration. The seeds of his mature style, shortly to appear, are very much in evidence.

© Gordon Kerry 2015

The first performance of the Holiday overture was given in 1946 by the Frankfurt Symphony Orchestra under Hans Blümer. This is the first performance of this work by any of the Australian state orchestras.

Alexander Borodin(1883 – 1887)

Prince Igor: Polovtsian Dances

alexander Borodin was not only a great Russian composer, but also a doctor of medicine and lecturer in chemistry at the st Petersburg academy of medicine. Though music played an important part in his life, it came second to his scientific work, and it was not until he met Balakirev, a leading figure in Russian music, that he decided to devote as much of his leisure time as possible to the study of composition. He soon became one of the most brilliant of the group of composers known as ‘the Five’, the other members of which were Balakirev, césar cui, mussorgsky and Rimsky-Korsakov.

Borodin’s opera Prince Igor is based on a medieval Russian epic poem concerning the struggle between the Russians and the Polovtsi, a Tartar tribe occupying the plains of the river Don. In 1185 Igor led an expedition against the Polovtsi. He was taken prisoner with his son, Vladimir, but Khan Konchak, ruler of the Polovtsi, was magnanimous and hospitable. Instead of treating the two princes as captives, he entertained them as royal guests. The ballet at the end of act II of Prince Igor forms part of a festival arranged by the Khan for his noble prisoners.

The tunes of the barbarically splendid Polovtsian Dances constantly remind us that a Russian genius was uniquely placed to suggest an oriental atmosphere in music (in this case the world of the Turkish, nomadic Polovtsi).

although Borodin began composing Prince Igor in 1869, it remained unfinished upon his death and was completed by Rimsky-Korsakov with assistance from Glazunov.

© David Garrett

The premiere of Prince Igor was given in St Petersburg at the Mariinsky Theatre on 4 November 1890. The West Australian Symphony Orchestra first performed the Polovtsian Dances on 20 May 1950 with conductor Bernard Heinze.

Sergei Rachmaninov (1873 – 1943)

symphony No.2 in E minor, op.27 Largo – Allegro moderato Scherzo: Allegro molto Adagio Finale: Allegro vivace

Rachmaninov had always regarded himself as a composer first and a pianist second, but the disastrous premiere of his First symphony in 1897 plunged him into a period of despair. He embarked on a new career as an opera conductor and composed nothing substantial for some three years. By the turn of the century, and after consultations with the well-known hypnotherapist Dr Nikolai Dahl, his confidence had largely returned and in 1901 he composed the Piano concerto No.2, the success of which inspired a string of major pieces. In 1906 in Dresden, he began work on his second symphony, which he completed the following year. Its premiere in st Petersburg in 1908 was a triumph and the work won Rachmaninov his second Glinka Prize.

until comparatively recently it was common for this substantial work to be given in a form which dispensed with up to a third of the music, and while Rachmaninov was partly responsible, his attitude to such butchery is clear from the story of his encounter with Eugene ormandy in Philadelphia. The conductor asked Rachmaninov to make some cuts to the work; after several hours the composer returned the score with two bars crossed out.

It is a truism in the theatre that cutting great works only makes them seem longer as the proportions are distorted by too much material being removed. The second symphony is long but its structure is beautifully proportioned. The overall effect is spaciousness, in which long melodies unfurl at a relatively leisurely pace to give the impression of ultra-Romantic spontaneity. It is in four movements, beginning with a slow introduction that is almost always described as mysterious, with one writer suggesting that it ‘surely’ evokes the Russian steppe. The transition into the main body of the movement is made by solo cor anglais, establishing a pattern in the work, where structural transitions are often announced by wind solos. The Allegro is a study in contrasts, ranging between passages of intensely turbulent and serene music.

Rachmaninov places the scherzo second. This serves the important purpose of restoring an air of musical regularity and emotional predictability after the rollercoaster ride of the first movement.

what could be more upbeat than the colourful wind scoring and bright horn calls of this scherzo, or its contrastingly long, songful melody? and in the central trio section, Rachmaninov evokes the bustle of village life complete with the deep tolling of church bells and a hymnal procession. But at the end of the movement, which is also the turning-point of the symphony, there is an unsettling moment: the lively music of the scherzo comes apart through the interventions of a brass chorale based on the Dies irae (Day of wrath) chant from the mass for the Dead. much of what has gone before has been derived from this stepwise theme.

commentators have noted similarities between the Adagio third movement and the love scene from Rachmaninov’s 1906 opera Francesca da Rimini, based on Dante’s tale of doomed love. Yet in this frank eroticism the Dies irae is never far below the music’s surface. The movement begins with one of Rachmaninov’s most inspired, soaring themes (which has been prefigured in the first movement) for the first violins, full of unexpected yearning dissonances. This is succeeded by an equally gorgeous tune for clarinet solo and yet one more for strings and oboe. The climax of the movement, which grows out of the elaboration of these three melodies, is arguably the most powerful in the whole work and it dispels any pessimism in favour of a Tchaikovskian finale.

In the last movement Rachmaninov achieves a kind of Beethovenian triumph. while the music revisits certain themes and moods from earlier in the work, it is clear that a watershed has been reached. The mood is buoyant, the tonality predominantly major and the down-up-down contour of the Dies irae is often turned literally upside down. whether the work is programmatic in any real sense is unclear, and we can assume that Rachmaninov, like Tchaikovsky, was suspicious of attempts to ‘translate’ his music. and Rachmaninov was by no means religious, but in view of the ‘Francesca’ link and the references to the Dies irae it seems to be a work in which anguish and the ominous presence of death are dispelled by the power of love.

abridged from a note by Gordon Kerry ©2007/14

The first performance of Rachmaninov’s Symphony No.2 was given in St Petersburg on 26 January 1908 under the direction of the composer. The West Australian Symphony Orchestra first performed it on 11 May 1973 conducted by David Measham. WASO last performed this work on 19 March, 2011, conducted by Paul Daniel.

Programmatic music which is inspired by and purports to express a non-musical idea, such as a story or a particular scene. usually such a work (and/or its various movements) has a descriptive title, e.g. Beethoven’s Pastoral symphony.

The fl ute and its high-pitched relative the piccolo, are the highest-pitched members of the woodwind family.

Although instruments have been found dating back thousands of years in the form of hollowed-out bones and wood, the modern-day fl ute was developed in 19th-century Germany by inventor and fl ute virtuoso Theobald Boehm. Flutes today are predominantly made out of a range of metals such as silver-plated brass or even solid gold, silver and platinum.

The fl ute is unique amongst the wind instruments as sound is created by blowing across the top of the mouth plate rather than directly into the instrument, as with clarinets and oboes. The act of blowing into a fl ute is similar to blowing across the top of a bottle and it is a fi rmly held belief amongst musicians that fl utes require the same amount of air volume as tubas to perform.

Pitch is altered by opening and closing the keys in the body of the instrument, changing the length and inner resonance of the body; performers can also vary pitch by blowing more or less forcefully. Dynamics are also controlled by the speed of the air passing across the mouth hole: faster air fl ow produces a louder sound and slower air fl ow creates a softer volume.

Flautists use a variety of techniques to create different sounds, including fl utter tonguing, multiphonics and microtones.

The fl ute is almost unrivalled for its ability to create colouristic effects, and it is often paired with the harp in passages of great delicacy. Favourite works for fl ute include Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, Gluck’s Dance of the Blessed Spirits from Orfeo ed Euridice, Mozart’s Concerto in C for Flute and Harp, K.299 and Bach’s Badinerie from Orchestral Suite No.2.

Thank you to Liz Rushton for her recent donation for WASO to purchase a wooden fl ute which will be used by Andrew Nicholson, Principal Flute.
