royal Scottish National orchestra

stéphane Denève became Music Director in september 2005, a partnership which enjoys great acclaim, at home and abroad. For choral performances the orchestra is joined by the royal scottish

national orchestra chorus, chorus Director timothy Dean, one of the most distinguished large symphonic choruses in Britain, and the acclaimed rsno junior chorus, chorus Director christopher Bell.

the rsno performs across scotland, including seasons in Glasgow, edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen, Perth and Inverness. the orchestra appears regularly at the edinburgh International Festival and recent appearances in england have included Manchester’s Bridgewater hall, Leeds town hall, the sage Gateshead and at the BBc Proms in London. In the last few years, the rsno has performed in orkney, France, Germany, the netherlands, Luxembourg, Austria, serbia, spain and croatia.

the rsno has a worldwide reputation for the quality of its recordings and has been nominated for eight GrAMMy awards in the last decade. over 200 releases are available, including the complete symphonies of sibelius (Gibson), Prokofiev (järvi), nielsen and Martinu (thomson). In 2008 the orchestra renewed its acclaimed partnership with conductor Laureate neeme järvi (with whom the rsno has made over 65 recordings) with the premiere recording of wagner’s The Ring, an orchestral adventure (arranged by henk de Vlieger). the rsno and conductor josé serebrier completed their Glazunov symphonic cycle in 2009, having already recorded five of the russian composer’s symphonies. In 2007 the rsno made its first recording with Music Director stéphane Denève – the first instalment of a complete cycle of roussel’s orchestral works – receiving the Diapason d’or de l’année for symphonic Music. three more discs in the series have been released in 2008, 2009 and 2010 respectively, to widespread critical acclaim.

the royal scottish national orchestra is one of europe’s leading symphony orchestras. Formed in 1891 as the scottish orchestra, the company became the scottish national orchestra in 1950, and was awarded royal Patronage in 1991. throughout its proud history, the orchestra has played an important part in scotland’s musical life, including performing at the opening ceremony of the scottish Parliament building in 2004. Many renowned conductors have contributed to its success, including walter susskind, sir Alexander Gibson, Bryden thomson, conductor Laureate neeme järvi, conductor emeritus walter weller and conductor emeritus Alexander Lazarev.

Summer PoPS 2010: VIVA ItALIA

what makes Italian music so special? Partly it’s Italy’s diverse heritage – those unexpected non-western modalities of neapolitan song, for example, are thanks to Moorish influence on the history of naples. Partly it’s the sun-drenched landscapes that have inspired innumerable artists and writers – it would be a dull creative person indeed that was not moved by the beauties of the Italian countryside. Partly it’s an apparently innate gift for melody – the Italian language lends itself to bel canto, and the Italians are a nation of singers. Mostly though it’s soul, passion – whatever you want to call it, Italian music celebrates la dolce vita.

Gioachino rossini (1792-1868) was nicknamed ‘signor crescendo’ after his favourite musical device, heard to great effect in almost all of his opera overtures: rossini typically begins with a repeated musical motif, first heard quietly, but gradually building in intensity as more instruments are added and the pace accelerates – tension and excitement building all the while – until everyone in the orchestra seems to be playing as frantically and loudly as possible! But rossini’s opera overtures also display an abundance of invention and wit, and above all else they demonstrate his genius for coming up with fantastically singable melodies. tonight’s conductor, jeff tyzik, has made his own arrangement of three of rossini’s best-loved overtures. the whole of Il barbiere di Siviglia (‘the Barber of seville’) was written in just twelve days in 1816, according to the composer himself, though he did re-use a few themes from his earlier operas to create the famous overture. the martial overture for La gazza ladra (‘the thieving Magpie’) of 1817 has been used in many movies and tV shows, including stanley Kubrick’s notorious a Clockwork orange (1971). Most famous of all, the galloping, ebullient Finale of the overture to rossini’s last opera, Guillaume Tell (‘william tell’) of 1829, irresistibly recalls – for those of a certain age anyway – visions of the Lone ranger riding his faithful steed and crying, ‘hi-yo silver! Away!’

Less boisterous is the lyrical music written by Nino rota (1911-1979) for Francis Ford coppola’s Italian-American epic, The Godfather (1972). rota was something of a musical prodigy, who began composing at the age of eight. In his long career he wrote operas, ballets and chamber works in addition to almost 150 film scores. he most often and famously collaborated with Italian

director Federico Fellini, including Fellini’s 1959 masterpiece La Dolce Vita, in which Anita ekberg unforgettably takes a shower in the trevi Fountain. All of rota’s work is imbued with a sense of wistful nostalgia, and characterised by a particularly Italian gift for lyrical melody that is nowhere more evident than in his surprisingly gentle music for coppola’s bloody mafia epic. the proud, lonely trumpet solo of The Godfather’s main theme seems to capture the Italian soul itself; even more distinctively Italianate is the Love Theme, which uses folk music-inspired modalities to create a palpable sense of yearning; and Italian folk-like elements appear throughout the score, especially in the traditional dances of the Tarantella and Waltz.

even for people who don’t know any of his operas – including those who don’t even like opera – the melodies of Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901) are inescapable, such was and is his dominance of the Italian operatic tradition. Dating from 1851, Rigoletto is the story of the Duke of Mantua’s hunchbacked court jester, a malicious character whose vituperative tongue results in him being cursed by one of his victims. the aria ‘La donna è mobile’ is sung, rather ironically by the Duke, who complains of the fickleness of women while he sets about wooing different mistresses.

Like rossini, Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848) was an exponent of the bel canto (‘beautiful singing’) style. written in 1832, L’elisir d’amore (‘the elixir of Love’) tells the tale of gullible peasant nemorino, who is fooled by a travelling salesman into buying a magic potion that, so he believes, will win the heart of the lady he loves – unknown to nemorino, the ‘love potion’ is just cheap red wine. But when nemorino sees a tear in his beloved’s eye, he sings that the potion has worked its magic in the aria ‘una furtiva lagrima’ (‘A furtive tear’).

traditionally danced at Italian weddings, the Tarantella is an exuberant neapolitan dance supposedly named after the curious phenomenon of ‘tarantism’, an insatiable urge to dance wildly after being bitten by the tarantula spider – the only cure was to dance the Tarantella!

Following Guillaume Tell in 1829, rossini decided that, having already written 39 operas, it was time to retire from the stage. thereafter he devoted himself to writing small, salon pieces. In 1919, when Diaghilev commissioned a new work for his Ballets russes, called La Boutique Fantasque (‘the Magic toy shop’), Italian composer ottorino respighi adapted some of rossini’s late piano pieces for orchestra, including this version of the traditional Tarantella.

spicy and piquant, neapolitan song is the common heritage of the colourful melting-pot that is naples, and provides a window into the passionate souls of the city’s inhabitants. Herman Bellstedt’s theme and variations Napoli is based on Luigi Denza’s popular neapolitan song Funiculì Funiculà (1880). Bellstedt (1858-1926) was a cornet player who had played in sousa’s band, which accounts for the brilliant brass playing in this piece.

the Italian Song Medley weaves together three modern pop hits: first sung by Betty curtis, al di là was Italy’s entry in 1961’s eurovision song contest – it didn’t do very well, though, only getting 12 votes; Come prima dates from 1958, the year in which it made an entry in the UK charts in a version by the Marino Marini Quartet (an english-language version called More Than ever charted soon afterwards); That’s amore sounds like an Italian song, but was actually written by harry warren and jack Brooks for the 1953 hollywood film The Caddy, where it was sung by Dean Martin – thereafter, the song became his signature-tune.

Verdi’s opera La forza del destino received its first performance at the Bolshoi theatre in st Petersburg in 1862. the tragic story of ill-matched lovers and their inevitable doom is foreshadowed in the dramatic and poignant overture, the central melody of which was used in the movie Jean de Florette (1986) and in the stella Artois lager commercials on tV.

Unfairly, perhaps, but Pietro mascagni (1863-1945) is known as something of an operatic ‘one-hit wonder’. he remains best known for Cavalleria Rusticana (1890), which is itself mostly known for the gorgeous orchestral Intermezzo that has appeared on several film soundtracks, including The Godfather Part III (1990).

Back to Verdi and the aria ‘Questa o quella’ from Rigoletto is sung by the lecherous Duke of Mantua as he agonises over which of the many women he should choose to satisfy him.

Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) equalled if not surpassed Verdi as Italy’s greatest operatic composer. his melodrama La Bohème was first performed in 1896 and its realistic depiction of bohemian artists living and loving in Parisian garrets was something entirely new at the time. themes from the opera, including the impassioned aria ‘Che gelida manina’ (‘your tiny hand is frozen’) and Musetta’s Waltz form the basis of ralph hermann’s orchestral arrangement.

Felix mendelssohn (1809-1847) was enchanted by Italy when he toured the country in the early 1830s, and expressed his enthusiasm in his Fourth Symphony, the sunniest of his orchestral works. the fast final movement is rhythmically inspired by both the roman saltarello folk dance and the neapolitan Tarantella.

we end the evening with two songs from the beautiful area of naples in the south of Italy. with its use of the local dialect and tunes borrowed or inspired by folk traditions, neapolitan song is a beguiling mixture of traditional and modern elements: although most of them date from the nineteenth century or later, they tend to sound much older. naples-born composer eduardo di Capua (1864-1917) wrote perhaps the most famous neapolitan song of all, O Sole Mio, in 1898. Four years later, ernesto de Curtis (1875-1937) penned the nostalgic Torna a Surriento (‘return to sorrento’), another song with lyrics in the neapolitan dialect that sounds older than it really is. As we bid farewell to the land of good food, good wine and good times – just remember arrivederci doesn’t mean goodbye, it means until we meet again.

conDUctor

jeff tyzik has earned a reputation as one of America’s most innovative pops conductors. he is recognised for his brilliant arrangements, original programming, and engaging rapport with audiences of all ages. tyzik has just completed his sixteenth season as Principal Pops conductor of the rochester Philharmonic orchestra. he also currently serves as Principal Pops conductor of the oregon symphony and the Vancouver symphony orchestra.

In his sixteen years with the rochester Philharmonic orchestra, tyzik has developed an incredible relationship with devoted rochester audiences and written over 160 works for the orchestra. he also regularly appears as a guest conductor in the orchestra’s classical subscription series performing works by some of the greatest American composers to critical acclaim. he has also been commissioned to compose original works including his trombone concerto (by the national endowment of the Arts) and his timpani concerto (by the rochester Philharmonic orchestra) which was premiered in january 2010. In May 2007, the harmonia Mundi label released his recording of works by Gershwin with pianist jon nakamatsu and the rochester Philharmonic orchestra which reached no.3 on the Billboard classical chart.

highly sought after as a guest conductor, tyzik has recently appeared with orchestras such as the Boston Pops, the cincinnati Pops, the new york Pops, the Philadelphia orchestra at the saratoga Performing Arts center and the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the hollywood Bowl. In addition to his commitments in rochester, oregon and Vancouver, during the 2010/11

season he will appear with orchestras across north America including the Detroit, Milwaukee and toronto symphony orchestras, as well as the Florida orchestra, among others. During the summer of 2010, he will return to the Boston Pops and to the saratoga Performing Arts center to lead the Philadelphia orchestra. he also leads three programmes with the Dallas symphony at the Vail Festival.

A native of hyde Park, new york, tyzik began his life in music at nine years of age, when he first picked up a cornet. he studied both classical and jazz music throughout high school, and went on to earn both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the eastman school of Music, where he studied composition/arranging with radio city Music hall’s ray wright and jazz studies with the great band leader chuck Mangione, both of whom profoundly impacted him as a musician.

tyzik spent the next few years working with Mangione, soaking in every part of the music business. he became a skilled record producer, while continuing to be active as a performer and arranger. these experiences led tyzik to one of the great early opportunities of his career—the chance to co-compose a trumpet concerto with friend and virtuoso trumpeter Allen Vizzutti to be recorded by pops legend Doc severinsen. After that first recording, tyzik worked closely with severinsen on many projects including orchestrating many of the great band leader’s symphony orchestra programmes, and producing a GrAMMy Award-winning album, The Tonight show Band with Doc severinsen, Vol 1. to this day, he credits severinsen as his greatest musical and professional inspiration.
