yale philharmonia

Hoch hing der Mond; das SchneegefildLag bleich und öde um uns her,Wie meine Seele bleich und leer,Denn neben mir, so stumm und wild,So stumm und kalt wie meine Not,Als wollt’ er weichen nimmermehr,Saß starr und wartete der Tod.Da kam es her wie einst so mild,So müd’ und sacht aus ferner Nacht,So kummerschwer kam seiner Geige Hauch daherUnd vor mir stand sein stilles Bild.

Der mich umflochten wie ein Band,Daß meine Blüte nicht zerfielUnd daß mein Herz die Sehnsucht fand,Die große Sehnscuht ohne Ziel:Da stand er nun im öden LandUnd stand so trüb’ und feierlichUnd sah auf noch grüßte mich,Nur seine Töne ließ er irr’nUnd weinen durch die kühle Flur,Und mir entgegen starrte nur aus seiner Stirn,Als wär’s ein Auge hohl und fahl,Der tiefen Wunde dunkles Mal.

Und trüber quoll das trübe LiedUnd quoll so heiß, und wuchs und schwoll,So heiß und voll,Wie Leben, das nach Liebe glüht,Wie Liebe, die nach Leben schreit,Nach ungenossner Seligkeit,So wehevoll, so wühlend quollDas strömende Lied und flutete,Und leise, leise blutete und strömteMit in’s bleiche Schneefeld rot und fahlDer tiefen Wunde dunkles Mal.

text and translationRichard Dehmel: Notturno

High hangs the moon; the snowy fieldLay bleak and empty around us, Like my soul, bleak and empty,Then, next to me, so silent and savage,As mute and cold as my misery,As if he would never again leave,Sat rigidly and waited – Death.Then it came nearer: As once before – so calm,So weary and gentle out of the faraway night, So grief-laden came his violin’s breath nearerAnd, before me, stood his motionless image.

He, who entwined me like a ribbon,That my blossom would not wiltAnd that my heart would find desire,That great desire without a purpose:There he stood in this desolate landAnd he stood so sadly and solemnlyAnd did not look up nor greet me,Only his song he let wander and weepThrough the cold fields,And from his forehead stared at me –Like an eye hollow and pallid –The deep wound of a dark scar.

And more gloomily poured out that gloomy song,And poured so fervently, and grew, and swelled,So fervently and fully,As life, that burns for love, As love, that cries for life For unreached happiness,So woefully, so urgently flooded The streaming song and flooded, And gently, gently bled and streamed With it into the bleak, snowy field, red and pallid, The deep wound of a dark scar.

Und müder glitt die müde Hand,Und vor mir stand ein bleicher Tag,Ein ferner, bleicher Jugendtag,Da starr im Sand zerfallen seine Blüte lag,Da seine Sehnsucht sich vergaß,In ihrer Schwermut Übermaß,Und ihrer Traurigkeiten müd’ zum Ziele schritt;Und laut aufschrie das weinende Lied,Das wühlende und flutete,Und seiner Saiten Klage schritt,Und seine Stirne bluteteUnd weinte mit in meine starre Seelennot,Als sollt’ ich hören ein Gebot,Als müßt’ ich jubeln, daß ich litt,

Als möcht’ er fühlen was ich litt,Mitfühlen alles Leidens SchuldUnd alles Lebens warme Huld;Und weinend, blutend wandt’ er sichIns bleiche Dunkel und verblich.Und bebend hört’ ich mir entgehn,Entfliehn sein Lied. Und wie so zart,So zitternd ward der langen Töne fernes Flehn;Da fühlt’ ich kalt ein Rauschen wehnUnd grauenschwer die Luft sich rühren um mich her,Und wollte bebend nun ihn sehn,

Ihn lauschen sehn, der wartend saß bei meiner Not,Und wandte mich: da lag es kahl,Das bleiche Feld, und fern und fahlEntwich in’s Dunkel auch der Tod.Hoch hing der Mond, und mild und müd’Hinschwand es in die leere Nacht,Das flehende Lied, und schwand und schied,Des toten Freundes flehendes Lied.

And slower glided the weary hand, And before me stood a bleak day,A distant, bleak day of youth,There, stiff in the sand, his withered blossom lay,There his desire was forgottenIn its all-encompassing melancholy,And weary from sorrow, went to its end;And loudly cried out the weeping song, That aching song, that flowed out, And his strings’ lament marched,And his forehead bled And wept with me in my soul’s paralyzed agony,As though I should hear a command,As though I must rejoice in that which I suffered,

As though he wished to feel what I suffered,To feel with me all of suffering’s shameAnd all of life’s warm graciousness;And weeping, bleeding, he turnedTo the pale darkness and faded away.And then I heard, escaping,Fleeing from me – his song. And so tender, So tremulous were the long tones of distant prayers;Then I felt a cold, a rustling,And, full of horror, the air stirred around me,And trembling I wished to see him there,

To see him listening, he who sat waiting in my misery,And I turned around: There it lay,The bleak field, bare and pale,Escaped into darkness along with Death.High hung the moon, and gently, wearily,It vanished into the empty night,That imploring song, it vanished and departed,My dead friends’ pleading song.

Bedřich Smetana» 1824–1884

bedŘich smetana Šárka from Má Vlast, JB 1:112

On September 7, 1874, Bedřich Smetana, the foremost composer of the Czech nation and the recently appointed director of the Royal Provincial Czech Theatre in Prague, unexpectedly resigned his post. The reason: sudden and near-total deafness. But the ringing in his ears seemed not to discourage Smetana, who used his newfound free time to finish the first two works of his epic cycle Má Vlast in the fall of 1874. Má Vlast (usually translated as “My Country,” but more precisely meaning “homeland”) is a set of six symphonic poems that depict various elements of the Czech countryside and culture. The first two, Vyšehrad and Vltava (The Moldau) depict a rocky promontory in Prague with mythic associations and the river that runs through Prague, respectively. The third, Šárka, is named after a legendary female warrior of ancient Czech tales.

Šárka was a central figure in the ancient Czech legend of the Maidens’ War. Enraged by the infidelity of her lover, she tied herself to a tree as bait. The knight Ctirad and his soldiers were sent to crush the maidens’ rebellion, but upon rescuing Šárka, Ctirad fell in love with her. Once released, Šárka served drugged mead to the besotted knight and his companions. With the men asleep, she sounded a hunting horn—the signal for the other warrior maidens to come murder the sleeping soldiers.

Smetana follows this program rather closely in his ten-minute work, beginning with an intense passage that depicts Šárka’s anger. Soon, Ctirad and his men approach, and before long, we hear the strains of the beautiful violin tune that signifies the knight’s newfound love for the warrior maiden. The jaunty passage that follows depicts the intoxication of Ctirad’s men, and as the music quiets to nothing they fall asleep. At the quietest moment, we hear Šárka’s hunting horn calling her maidens. Soon the opening orchestral fury returns, as the sleeping soldiers are destroyed by a host of vengeful women.

The compositions of Richard Strauss straddle the turn of the twen-tieth century in an interesting way. Before 1900, he had largely made his name with lavishly orchestrated symphonic poems such as Don Juan, Also sprach Zarathustra, and Don Quixote. Although he didn’t completely abandon the tone poem after 1900, Strauss turned to opera in the new century, having a huge success with his third opera, Salome, in 1905. Elektra and Der Rosenkavalier followed soon after, and Strauss ultimately composed over fifteen operas.

Such is the primacy of both tone poems and operas in Strauss’s oeuvre that his other works are often overlooked. (The Yale Philharmonia has not been guilty of this oversight, however, performing two great late works this season – the Oboe Concerto and the Duett-Concertino – along with Don Juan.) One such overlooked work is the enigmatic orchestral lied Notturno. Written in 1899, the fourteen- minute work foreshadows Strauss’s shift of interest towards opera. Indeed, after completing his second opera Feuersnot in 1901, Strauss did not return to writing lieder until 1918.

The song’s text, a poem by Richard Dehmel, tells of an encounter with Death in a snowy nocturnal landscape. Joshua Kosman, music critic of the San Francisco Chronicle, remarked, “This is a voyage into the darkly mystical world of the subconscious, where elusive connections form and then dissolve; and Strauss, whose eloquence is almost always directed to the glittery surfaces of life, responds with powerful sensitivity.” One brilliant touch is the use of a solo violin to represent the character of Death. Entering on a floating, muted pitch, the violin soloist follows the baritone incessantly, commenting on and reminding him of his ultimate fate.

gustav mahler Symphony No. 5

At the outset of the twentieth century, Gustav Mahler was director of the Vienna Hofoper and the Vienna Philharmonic. Although these two appointments took nearly all of his time and creative energy, he still found time for composition, mainly in the summers. In April of 1901, he resigned his post with the Philharmonic amid difficult relationships with the players and management. That summer, Mahler returned to his composition hut on the southern shore of the Wörthersee lake in Carinthia. Here he began the series of com-positions—three of the Kindertotenlieder, four of the Rückert-Lieder, and part of the Fifth Symphony—that scholars have categorized as the beginning of Mahler’s “middle period.”

The changes in his musical style—a greater emphasis on absolute music, new studies of the polyphony of Bach, and less reliance on themes from the Des Knaben Wunderhorn collection of poetry that had informed so many of Mahler’s works to this point—were accom- panied by several notable developments in Mahler’s personal life. The most important of these was his marriage, on March 9, 1902, to Alma Schindler. The union shocked even Mahler’s closest friends, many of whom found out about the engagement from newspaper reports. Despite the controversy, there is no question that Mahler loved his new bride passionately. He claimed to have sent the ex- quisite Adagietto of the Fifth Symphony to her as a love letter. Whether this is true or not, this “song without words” for strings and harp has since gained independent status as Mahler’s most famous composition.

One of the major factors that distinguishes Mahler’s Fifth Symphony from his first four is the lack of an extramusical program to guide the interpretation of the work. Instead, Mahler leaves us to ponder the tumultuous emotional arc of this massive opus on our own. Beginning with a funeral march in C-sharp minor that lurches

gustav mahler Symphony No. 5

(continued) between depressive angst, wistful remembrance, and violent, pas- sionate grief, Mahler establishes a pattern of extreme contrasts that will continue throughout the work. The second movement marries stormy anger with a powerfully exultant climax before ultimately melting into nothingness.

The gigantic Scherzo at the center of the symphony is a clever combination of two dance forms—the Ländler, a rustic country dance, contrasted with the sophisticated city waltz. The aforemen-tioned Adagietto acts as a prelude to the ebullient Rondo-Finale, which shows the impact of Mahler’s intense study of Bach more clearly than any of his works to this point. After several extended contrapuntal episodes, the music surges to an unbridled chorale-like climax in D major, before a wild coda that unleashes the full extent of Mahler’s orchestral virtuosity.

philharmonia orchestra of yale

The Philharmonia Orchestra of Yale is one of America’s foremost music school ensembles. The largest performing group at the Yale School of Music, the Philharmonia offers superb training in orches-tral playing and repertoire. Performances include an annual series of concerts in Woolsey Hall, as well as Yale Opera productions in the Schubert Performing Arts Center. In addition to its New Haven appearances, the Philharmonia Orchestra of Yale has performed on numerous occasions in Carnegie Hall and Alice Tully Hall in New York City and at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. The Philharmonia undertook its first tour of Asia in 2008, with acclaimed performances in the Seoul Arts Center, the Forbidden City Concert Hall and National Center for the Performing Arts (Beijing), and the Shanghai Grand Theatre. The beginnings of the Yale Philharmonia can be traced to 1894, when an orchestra was organized under the leadership of the School’s first dean, Horatio Parker. The orchestra became known as the Philharmonia Orchestra of Yale in 1973, with the appointment of Otto-Werner Mueller as resident conductor and William Steinberg, then music director of the Pittsburgh Symphony, as Sanford Professor of Music. Brazilian conductor Eleazar di Carvalho became music director in 1987, and Gunther Herbig joined the conducting staff as guest conductor and director of the Affiliate Artists Conductors program in 1990. Lawrence Leighton Smith, music director of the Louisville Symphony Orchestra, conducted the Philharmonia for a decade, and upon his retirement in 2004, Shinik Hahm was appointed music director.
