DIRECTOR'S NOTEThis performance of Grieg’s complete incidental music to Ibsen’s play Peer Gynt is intended as a musical, not theatrical, event. The speakers are not in costume, there is no scenery, and you will not be able to grasp the entire story. The com-plete musical program is 90 minutes, and the play itself is a full five acts; it must have made for a very long evening! I refer you to the excellent program note by Isabelle Zeledón (below) for a concise description of the fairly convoluted synopsis. But in much the same way as many orchestras perform Mendelssohn’s complete music to Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream, our intent tonight is to present the exciting, tender, and thrilling musical moments using various lines from the play to set up and provide a smoother bridge between each movement when necessary. The music and spoken text indeed are presented in the sequence of the play, and the spoken English translation is a variably free translation designed to provide you with a context in which the music appears. ––Bruce Hangen, conductor

GRIEG: Peer Gynt, Incidental Music, op. 23

As one of Edvard Grieg’s most substantial and beloved pieces, Peer Gynt, op. 23 is a hallmark of Grieg’s mastery of Romantic lyricism and trademark Norwegian nationalism. Commissioned by fellow Norwegian and playwright Henrik Ibsen in 1874, Grieg completed the musical score for the five-act play in 1875 and the work as a whole premiered on February 24, 1876 in Oslo to great acclaim. Grieg later arranged portions of the music into two orchestral suites (op. 46 and op. 55). The original score is rarely heard in its entirety.

Grieg’s almost cinematic piece begins with a "Prelude" that encapsulates Nor-wegian folk elements and dramatic motives personifying the play’s nationalistic themes and its colorful characters. Peer’s tale begins with an argument between him and his mother, Ase. Disappointed with her son’s slothfulness, Ase berates Peer for not marrying his former fiancée, Ingrid. The lady in question and the villagers cheerfully dance nearby by the pair in "The Wedding Procession," hailed by horns and frolicking woodwinds. Resolved to steal his fiancée back, Peer arrives in the village hall to the solo strains of the Hardanger Fiddle play-ing the folk dances of the "Halling" and "Springar." After being ridiculed by the villagers, except by the newcomer, Solveig, Peer drunkenly absconds with Ingrid into the mountains in an orchestral fury in "The Abduction of the Bride."

On hearing the lusty calls and laughter of "The Herd-Girls," the rascal aban-dons his fiancée for a new adventure. Surrounded by fluttering woodwinds that foreshadow the theme of "Morning Mood," Peer journeys through the forest, where he encounters "The Woman in Green," a troll woman, cavort-

ing in the harp and lower strings. Enraptured, he follows her deep into the heart of the mountain to her father’s kingdom. "In the Hall of the Mountain King," one of Grieg’s most identifiable musical passages, the trolls stalk the frightened Peer in a simple, ascending passage, leaping about the hall in thirds. Beginning at a menacing hush in the orchestra’s lowest instruments, the theme is traded throughout the orchestra in a frantic frenzy, encouraged by the bloodthirsty bellows of the chorus. After the otherworldly "Dance of the Mountain King’s Daughter," the trolls pursue Peer in a wild, chromatic chase in "Hunted By The Trolls." Luckily, the tolling of church bells scares them off.

In his "Encounter with the Bøyg," Peer meets another supernatural being amidst chilling chords and is saved by a church chorale. Sorrowful, lamenting strings meet Peer as he returns to town to discover "The Death of Ase." Re-solved to avoid his responsibilities, Peer gallivants around the globe for many years. Rather than painting a sunrise over sparkling fjords, "Morning Mood" depicts a rosy dawn over the shimmering sands of the Sahara, with the lilt-ing woodwind melody signaling a new day and a new adventure. As a self-proclaimed prophet in Morocco, Peer is robbed by two thieves in the amusing duet, "The Thief and The Receiver." A rabble of Bedouin women dance about in a flurried "Arabian Dance" composed of Norwegian and Arab melodic fix-tures. In "Anitra’s Dance," one of the women, Anitra, flits about in a seductive ballet for strings and triangle. Despite his efforts to impress her with a bois-terous "Serenade," Peer is unable to seduce Anitra and she robs him blind.

Meanwhile, in Norway, Solveig yearns for Peer’s return in "Solveig’s Song." Rep-resenting Peer’s redemption theme, her limpid lines float above the rocking orchestra in an ode to everlasting love. Now elderly and longing for home, Peer sets sail for Norway on rolling, orchestral waves in "Homecoming." After his ship wrecks on the Norwegian coastline, Peer hears Solveig singing the redemption theme in her hut. He dares not enter and wanders into the night. In "Night Scene," Peer meets the ominous Button-Moulder, who confronts him regarding his past sins and condemns Peer to purgatory. Peer pleads for his soul but the Button-Moulder declares he has not “been himself…[that] to be one’s self is to deny one’s self.” Searching for clemency, Peer passes by a group of churchgoers singing an ethereal "Whitesun Hymn" and returns to Solveig’s home, where he throws himself at her mercy. Gathering him into her lap, Solveig soothes Peer with her "Lullaby," supported by the choir’s Whitesun Hymn, and grants him absolution with a new life as “her treasure, her baby boy.”

PROGRAM


SONG TRANSLATIONS

Scene with the Mountain Girls

GIRLS: Troll of Valfjeld! Bård and Kåre! Troll-pack, would you sleep in our arms, lovely fellers?

PEER GYNT: To whom are you calling?

GIRLS: To the trolls! Trond, do it gently, Baar make it rough, The beds in the cottage need to be filled. Rough is gentle and gentle is rough! No boys around so we play with the trolls!

PEER GYNT: Where are the boys?

GIRLS: They cannot be here!

My boy he called me his one true dearest. Now he went and married a middle-aged widow.

My boy met a girl in the north, she's a gypsy. Now they've gone to travel the roads together.

My boy took the life of our bastard baby. Now his head is on a stake but still is grinning.

Troll of Valfjeld! Bård and Kåre! Troll-pack, would you sleep in our arms, lovely fellers?

PEER GYNT: I'm a troll and I have three heads and a mind for three girls!

GIRLS: Are you man enough?

PEER GYNT: Maybe more than you know!

GIRLS: To the cottage! We have drinks!

PEER GYNT: Hey, let it flow!

GIRLS: This night we want to enjoy our lives! He sparkles and glows like white heated iron. His baby eyes glitter in the darkest waters. Troll of Valfjeld! Bård and Kåre! Troll-pack, would you sleep in our arms, lovely fellers? In the Hall of the Mountain King

TROLLS: Slay him! The Christian man has seduced the Mountain King's daughter! Scene with the Monster, Bøyg

TROLLS: Bøyg, is he coming? All the sisters near and far. Come to us! He trembles! Sisters, this way! He's fallen! Now, Bøyg, you can take him!

ACT IVThief and Receiver

THIEF: The tongues of the lances, tasting and playing, look!

RECEIVER: I feel that my head now is rolling in the sand. Dear! Ow!

ACT II


THIEF: My dad was a thief, his son must steal!

RECEIVER: My dad was a fence, so his son must deal!

THIEF: Your luck you must follow.RECEIVER: You are who you are. Footsteps in the brush! We should hide, yes, but where?

THIEF: Deep is this cave, and great is its Prophet.

Arabian Dance

ARABIAN GIRLS: The Prophet has come, let the flutes and the tambourines sound! The Prophet, the Lord, the great future Decider, to us through the sands now he cometh. The Prophet, the Master, the great Never Failing, to us through the sands ever sailing! Sound the flutes and the tambourines! The Prophet is coming!

SOLOIST: His stallion is white as the milk that flows in the Paradise rivers. Bow and kneel, he is gracious disposed; his eyes are two stars that brightfully glisten. No child of earth can abide the ardent splendor the stars shed grandly. Shining oh so brightly, those eyes! Through the desert he came; gold and pearls sprang forth on his breast. Wherever he rode just brilliant light; wherever he passed only raging wind storms. Through the desert he came, but he came with a disguise of a mere earthly mortal. The Kaaba stands clear; the Prophet has declared it so!

The Prophet is coming! Sound the flutes and the tambourines!

Peer Gynt's Serenade

PEER GYNT: I locked the gates of Paradise and took away the key. I steered by winds from Northern skies while damsels mourned with streaming eyes their loss beside the sea. And southward, south the swift keel sheered the briny water ways where palm trees swayed and proudly reared to wreathe the bay for which I steered I set my ship ablaze.

I climbed aboard a desert ship, a ship four legs endow. It foamed beneath the lashing whip, I am a migrant bird—I quip!—I twitter on a bough!

Anitra, thou art palm-tree wine; I must affirm it clear! Angora goat cheese I opine provides a dish scarce half as fine as though, Anitra dear! Solveig's Song

SOLVEIG: The winter and spring, they may both disappear, and the summer that follows and all of the year, but someday you will come, I'm sure of you yet. I'll wait as I promised the last time we met. Ah! God guard and protect you where'er you have flown. God gladden your heart if you stand by His throne. I shall wait for you here until the end, and if you wait in heaven we'll meet there, my friend. Ah!


ACT VSolveig's Song in the Hut

SOLVEIG: All is now ready for Whitsuntide, yes, all is ready now. Will my lost boy be coming back to my side, yes, back to my side? Your work is heavy, take time to rest. I'm waiting as I promised you.

Melodrama, Night Scene

BALLS OF YARN: To fly in the sky like birds 'way up high, but here we just roll like grey balls of yarn!

PEER GYNT: Balls of yarn!? Blast you! Are you trying to trip your father?

BALLS OF YARN: We are the password you should have spoken us. See how your illness has sadly withered us. The worms have nibbled us 'til all is eaten. Your greed forgot us, denying our blooming!

PEER GYNT: Your birth was not in vain. Lie still and turn to compost!

BALLS OF YARN: We are carols you should have sung to us. Ten thousand times you have stifled us. In your very soul we have been waiting. You never called on us; poison to your voice!

PEER GYNT: Poison yourself, foolish rhymes. I have no time for jingles and nonsense!

BALLS OF YARN: We are the tears you never shed before. Those shards of ice that wound, we could have melted them. Your heart can feel them cut sharp in your breast! The wound has closed, our power is gone!

PEER GYNT: Thanks—I wept at Ronde Mountain, but got trounced just the same!

BALLS OF YARN: We are deeds you should have done. Doubts and distractions have only bent and broken us! On Judgment Day soon we will all come together to tell all we know, so you will be damned! Song of the Churchgoers

CHURCHGOERS: O bless'd be the morning, when words of the Spirit like swords in flames coated the earth, the heirs of the Spirit, with songs now we praise Him, with words of the kingdom of God.

Solveig's Cradle Song

SOLVEIG: Sleep, my darling, my precious one! I will cradle and hold you forever. The lad on his Ma's lap once did lay; the two have played the whole livelong day. His Mother's bosom nursed the boy all the livelong day; God bless you, my joy! And close to my heart the boy has been all the livelong day; he's weary, must rest. Sleep, my darling, my precious one! I will cradle and hold you forever.

He earned a B.A. in theater per-formance from Western Michigan University, a Certificate of Comple-tion from the Marymount London Drama Conservatory, and an M.F.A. in acting from the National Theatre Conservatory. He is a proud mem-ber of Actors' Equity Association.

JAMAN E. DUNN (M.M. '18, or-chestral conducting), actor—of Chicago, Illinois, received his B.M. in vocal performance from The Ohio State University. While there, Dunn had many solo opportunities, in-cluding both the Mozart and Verdi


requiems, as well as covering the role of Falstaff in Verdi's opera Falstaff. Dunn also served as baritone soloist in Schubert's Mass in E-flat, Mozart's Requiem, and Bach's Cantata No. 126 as well as Orff's Carmina Burana. He also sang with Opera Columbus and Opera Project Columbus in pro-ductions of Amahl and the Night Visitors, La Bohème, La Traviata, and Il Barbiere di Siviglia. Addition-ally, he founded and conducted The Buckeye Philharmonic, a student-run orchestra at Ohio State. Dunn is cur-rently pursuing an M.M. in orchestral conducting at Boston Conservatory at Berklee, studying with Maestro Bruce Hangen.

He has also per-formed as the opening act for Earth, Wind, and Fire and Huey Lewis and the News. TOBY WEINBERG, Hardanger fiddle—is widely recognized, both in this country and in Norway, as one of North America's preeminent performers and teachers of the Nor-wegian Hardanger fiddle. In recent years he has concentrated on pro-grams that combine traditional slåt-tar (Hardanger fiddle tunes) with the old stories that accompany them and illuminate their meaning. Already a trained classical violinist and an experienced performer of Norwe-gian and Swedish traditional fiddle music played on ordinary violin, Weinberg began his study of the Hardanger fiddle and its music more than 30 years ago in 1986. Weinberg was a featured soloist on Hardan-ger fiddle at the Cambridge Christ-mas Revels, and has been called on for Revels in Hanover, New Hamp-shire, New York City, San Francisco and Houston. He has performed and taught at major Scandinavian music


festivals both in the U.S. and in Norway, including more than 10 years at Norsk Høstfest in Minot North Dako-ta, Norway Day in San Francisco, Hil-

mar Festivalen in Steinkjer, Norway, and other festivals, workshops, and concerts throughout the country.
