Something Great...

When is the last time you heard something great for the first time? Probably at a MusicaNova concert! Thanks to all of you who made the MusicaNova 2014-2015 Season a smashing artistic success; there’s even more for you in the year to come! Our 2015-2016 Orchestra Concert Series features great new works and some very well known ones. We’ll be doing two world premieres from our Composition Fellows in November and January, and in April we’ll take on the massive Shostakovich Seventh Symphony “Leningrad” with the help of 25 outstanding young musicians from our educational partner schools. Our critically acclaimed Young Artists Series had a remarkable season with an astounding level of virtuosity exhibited by players from age 9 to 17. Two of last season’s young artists will be featured soloists with the Orchestra this season. The 2015-2016 Collaborative Concerts Series covers the world with music from three continents, and the debut of the MusicaNova Chamber Orchestra in February. And this season we’re adding a full slate of Salon Concerts, intimately presented in the homes of friends of MusicaNova. MusicaNova’s education programs are growing rapidly. We’re now formal partners with four schools for our outreach visits, and will be welcoming 25 student musicians for the Shostakovich Seven concert in April. We expect to reach over 3,000 students and faculty this season. Our Composition Fellows Program is going strong in its second year, with a true local prodigy in November and an exciting and innovative composer from the Eastman School in January. Arizona Science Center’s planetarium show featuring music and narration by MusicaNova debuted in June and we’re looking forward to many more collaborative productions with them and others. All this means an even greater need for your ongoing support, both by your attendance and your donations. See our entire season schedule on our website. And while you’re there you can make a one-time donation or set up monthly contributions, let the shopping you already do at Amazon.Com or Fry’s Food Stores benefit us, and give through special events like Birdies for Charity. We promise you won’t be disappointed!

&Mission

Vision

Our mission is to play great new, neglected, and

traditional music, introduce the finest young musicians,

and enrich the lives of our listeners and artists.

Our vision is to become known as a premiere classical musical

company throughout the Phoenix metropolitan area.

The MusicaNova Orchestra plays great new and neglected music – not the same “greatest hits” you hear everywhere – and presents the finest emerging talent. We are innovative, surprising and entertaining. Our Young Artists Concerts Series is devoted to exceptionally talented

musicians under 18 in a formal recital setting. The Collaborative Concerts Series features members of the MusicaNova family and others in a variety

of musical styles, often with audience interaction.

Our educational activities include outreach and collaboration with our partner schools, visiting them to bring the joy of playing and hearing great music to many who might not otherwise have the opportunity. Our unique

Composition Fellows Program gives fine young composers a hands-on mentoring through the process of preparing, rehearsing, and performing

one of their works as a world premiere at an orchestra concert.

Musica Nova, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity, incorporated in Arizona in 2003.

“Colors of Music”

“American Originals”

MusicaNova is now a teenager! Our thirteenth season is full of new and exciting programs for all our audiences and at all our venues. Our Orchestra Concert Series features two stunning soloists, two world premieres from our Composition Fellows, and collaboration on one of the biggest works we’ve ever played. The Young Artists Series previews the future of great music through exceptional performers under 18, and our Collaborative Series brings you music from around the world and across the ages. We’re also starting a full series of Salon Concerts where you can experience great music in intimate private home settings. Outside the concert hall, we’re working on even more collaborations with community organizations, doubling our partner schools, and mentoring emerging composers in the full experience of preparing, rehearsing, and performing their works.

Join us for a busy and amazing season!

MNO has always sought out the new, and the original. This year we are ‘taking it home’with programs that feature American music and local talent in the strongest presentation of that perspective that we have ever done!

thMusicaNova presents its most American season ever! Fully two-thirds of the orchestral music played this year was written in the United States. We have two extraordinarily talented young women as Composer Fellows and we end the season presenting a blockbuster concert with an array of talented young musicians!

Warren Cohen has been Music Director of the MusicaNova Orchestra since the founding of the innovative orchestra in 2003. In the course of his time with the group, it has developed an international reputation for its performances and recordings of unjustly neglected music. As music critic Alan Kruek said ,“nowhere outside of London and NewYork can music lovers enjoy an orchestra of such high quality that is consistently commited to the performance of great neglected music.” Rob Barnett, Editor of MusicWeb International said, “the great orchestras of the world could learn something from the consistently imaginative programming of this innovative ensemble.” In addition to his work with MusicaNova, Warren is Artistic Director of the New Jersey Intergenerational Orchestras. For the 2012-2013 season he was Concert Artist in Conducting at Kean University, the only person ever appointed to this position. Over the past fifteen years he has conducted almost a thousand orchestral, operatic and choral works. He studied conducting with, among others, Gustav Meier and Paul Vermel, and did a year of study at English National Opera during the last year of the adminstration of the “power trio” years where the company was led by Sir Mark Elder, David Poutney and Peter Jonas. He now divides his time between New Jersey and Arizona with his wife, soprano Carolyn Whitaker, and his 16-year-old son Graham, an award winning composer and violist who studies in the Julliard Pre-College division in New York.

Warren Cohen

Join us for our season!

Theofanidis: Visions and Miracles The composer wrote this work in 1998 originally for string quartet, (the String Orchestra version is from 2002) and the idea was to write a work of unbridled joy. He had recently composed a number of works of a much darker cast, and felt that the time had come to write something bright and uplifting. The music is never heroic, but the feeling of light and joy, even ecstasy, is never far from the center of its universe. It is in three movements, of a characteristic fast/slow/fast pattern. The harmonic idiom is modern but accessible and rhythmic gestures are familiar to anyone who knows modern music.

Conus: Violin Concerto in E Minor Julius Conus was a Russian Violinist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is very much a “one hit wonder”- aside from this Concerto he wrote very little other music, all of which includes the violin, and none of which is played today. This Concerto was written in 1898 and had the good fortune to be played frequently by Fritz Kreisler and later by Jascha Heifetz, who recorded it in 1952. It has stayed in the repertoire in Russia, but is rarely played in the west. It is very much a technical showpiece, more in the manner of Wieniawski and Vieuxtemps than of his contemporary Russian composers. Interestingly, Conus was a lifetime friend of Rachmaninoff, and his son married Rachmaninoff’s daughter in 1932!

DeFalla: El Amor Brujo El Amor Brujo, “Love the Sorcerer,” was a ballet written by DeFalla in 1915 about a woman haunted by the specter of her dead husband, whose jealous spirit is keeping her from a new love. All ends happily, but in an attempt to exorcise the ghost we are treated to DeFalla’s greatest hit - the “Ritual Fire Dance,” made famous in the piano version by Arthur Rubinstein in the movie “Carnegie Hall.” The Dance, although central to the piece, is simply one of a number of great tunes in this exciting score, including a gorgeous Tango in 7/8 time. The version we are doing is a mixture of two versions of the score; DeFalla included a part for contralto, although finding a singer who can manage the very particular zarzuela style of singing is almost impossible outside of Spain. Knowing this, DeFalla also created a version for instruments only, but cut some great numbers that required the voice. We have reinstated those numbers with instruments (mostly English Horn, with some solo violin) taking over the vocal parts.

CONCERT PROGRAM

MusicaNova Composition Fellow

Karalyn Speaks About Symphonic Dance No. 1 “ I was inspired to write Symphonic Dance No. 1 by the triumphant, prevalent motive that is present in the beginning and the end of the piece. It is such a joyful theme that I thought it had to be shared with an entire orchestra. The piece begins in anticipation, leading up to the main theme. A mysterious transition leads to a middle section that begins with a melancholy theme. It slowly gains momentum, getting thicker in instrumentation, until finally the initial triumph and joy from the beginning return as the piece finishes with even more confidence than before.”

Our unique Composition Fellows Program gives fine young composers a hands-on mentoring through the process of preparing, rehearsing, and performing one of their works as a world premiere at an orchestra concert.

Guest ArtistBobae Johnson

A 16-year-old junior at Desert Vista High School in Phoenix, Bobae is making her solo début with the orchestra after playing in MusicaNova’s Young Artists series in the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons. She has been a member of the Phoenix Youth Symphony since 2011, serving as principal second violin and concertmaster. In 2015, she won the Dorothy Vanek Youth Concerto Competition sponsored by the Southern Arizona Symphony Orchestra, the American String Teachers Association state solo competition, and was a finalist in the Phoenix Youth Symphony Young Musicians Competition. Bobae is a volunteer strings teacher with Harmony Project–Phoenix, a MusicaNova education partner. After graduation she intends to pursue a double major in college, in math or physics and violin performance.

“Colors of Music”

Rorem: Symphony No.2 Ned Rorem, one of America’s most distinguished living composers, has written in virtually every style of music, and the same beautiful craftsmanship that makes his songs so appealing is apparent in his orchestral music. The 2nd Symphony was written in 1956, while Rorem was briefly in the United States (he lived in France for many years). The composer himself only heard the piece live once: the second performance, at Town Hall in New York in 1959 - also the most recent performance before ours. It is unusual that the first movement is longer than the last two, but it is likely the short and song-like second movement and scurrying finale that will make the strongest impression.

Ward: Invocation and Toccata Robert Ward was a wonderfully talented composer who is probably best known for his Pulitzer Prize winning Opera “The Crucible”. Over the course of his long life he composed music in virtually every form and for a wide variety of occasions. He was deeply influenced by jazz and dance music, but he transformed these in such a way that the only reason I know about that influence is that he told me that personally, and that he viewed the Invocation and Toccata as an homage to the music of the Big Bands of the 1950’s, especially Stan Kenton and Woody Herman! The Invocation begins in a pastoral vein, with the “big band” idea coming from the use of the trumpet as a lyrical melodic instrument. The Toccata is forward moving and rhythmic, with a dance like quality and a joyful sense of rugged melody.

Gershwin: Piano Concerto in F After the rousing success of the Rhapsody in Blue, Gershwin was encouraged to write a longer and more serious work for Piano and Orchestra. The Rhapsody had a famously quick composition period and Gershwin had to have Ferde Grofé do the orchestration, but for the Concerto he took his time and for the first time completely orchestrated a work himself. Although there are elements of the jazz and popular music that made the composer rich and famous, the Concerto is really a very traditional work in three movements, with contrasting themes and development that would make any pure “classical” composer proud. The melodic writing in all three movements is instantly attractive and the work makes extravagant use of his large orchestra.

Sanuel XuGuest Artist

A 14-year-old freshman at Arizona Virtual Academy, Samuel is a versatile performer, playing both classics and contemporary works with artistry that belies his age. He began piano study at the age of six with his mother, Hong Zhu, and currently studies with his father, Fei Xu. Samuel is a recent winner of the Arizona State Music Teachers National Association Junior Piano Competition. His other piano prizes include winner of the Arizona Young Artist Piano Competition, the Steinway Avanti Star Piano Competition, and the Arizona Musicfest Young Musicians Competition. Later this season he will be playing in the Musicfest Winners Concert at the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix. In addition to piano, Samuel’s artistic interests include drawing and the design of computer games.

The first of the miniatures, Prelude , is a playful yet structurally-rigorous piece. The Gymnopédie draws upon the spirit of Satie’s Three Gymnopédies , but is a unique product of a wholly different musical language. The piece with the most programmatic title of the set, White Echoes, Cold Shadows , conveys the notions of timelessness and emptiness in a surrealist vein. Piano Grunge is a concert piano piece that contains influences from grunge rock music. Reverie takes one on a dreamy sound journey, in a lyrical songlike fashion. The last of the set, Heptaphilia , is a tribute to the number seven, and various allusions to this number are playfully peppered throughout the piece.

“American Originals”

Dmitri Shostakovich: Symphony No.7“Leningrad”

CONCERT PROGRAM

In collaboration with:

Tempe High SchoolArizona School for the ArtsPhoenix Youth Symphony

Few works of music in history have such a sensational story attached to them as the Seventh Symphony of Shostakovich. However, as is often the case, it is very hard to separate myth from fact in the composition of the work. The story is that Shostakovich wrote the Symphony during the siege of Leningrad in World War II. Freezing and starving in that horrible winter, scrounging to find music paper; a ragtag group of musicians somehow managed to create the premiere of the piece, which was then surreptitiously smuggled out of the besieged city to Europe and later America, where conductors fought over the right to perform “premieres” of the work. The Symphony became a rallying cry for the Allies, a symbol of the indomitable human spirit in the face of Nazi aggression, and was used to boost morale for Allied troops throughout the world. The long March in the middle of the first movement, where a simple tune is repeated without variation but increased orchestration for fifteen minutes (shades of Ravel’s Bolero!) was supposed to symbolize the march of Allied troops. For about three years, it may have been the most performed modern Symphony in the world. After the war, the critical response to the once famous work was harsh, and for many years the Symphony was regarded as a trivial, sloppily composed mess. With the publication of Volkov’s “Testimony, “ after the composer’s death, which painted Shostakovich as a dissident in the Soviet world, this work was re-evaluated with much of his music. The “heroic” became ironic; the banal became commentary on banality; and we found out that he had written most of the piece before the war started! Shostakovich loved and admired Mahler, and like Mahler’s Symphonies this work contains ”the world”, with all of its contradictions and complexities. Seen this way, it becomes a remarkable experience that brings back the extraordinary time and place where the music was first heard.
