SSO Shoots and ScoresTAKING THE ORCHESTRA TO CENTRE ICE!Did you read The Hockey Sweater as a kid?Did you read it to your kids or grandkids?Remember the movie version that was onCBC? Well, now it comes to your orchestra.

In the 30th anniversary year of RochCarrier, the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestrais proud to partner with the SaskatoonBlades and SaskTel Centre in an event thatcombines sport, music, childhoodmemories and new ones about to bemade.

A few years ago, the National Arts CentreOrchestra commissioned a composer toput the famous children’s book that followsa hockey-loving boy through thedisappointment of getting the gift of thewrong jersey to music.

Imagine the SSO at centre ice – stand forthe anthem, throw the iconic images ontothe score clock, and live out Canada’sgreatest hockey tale. The story comes tolife with Mayor Don Atchison (a formerBlade himself!) as our narrator…and when

it’s all done, the kids will hit the lockerroom, play mini-sticks on the concourse,and take to the ice to skate with the Blades.

“This is one of the most unique eventswe’ve ever done,” said Steve Hogle,president of the Saskatoon Blades Hockeyteam. “When the opportunity came alongto partner sports with music in such a greatway, we just had to make this one of themost unique things you can take your kidsto.”

The SSO will be the first orchestra to performthis concert in a rink—and definitely thefirst to do it on ice.

“In a season where the SSO is finding outwhat it means to be an orchestra on theprairies, it goes without saying thatsomehow there needed to be a rinkinvolved; I think this is one of the best kids’concerts in Canada this year. Nothing elselike it,” said Mark Turner, SSO.

The game takes place on March 15 atSaskTel Centre – don’t miss the puck drop!

Nathan Berg – A Hero’sHomecomingWhen the SSO set out to explore what itmeans to be an orchestra on the Canadianprairies, it was clear that it was high timethe orchestra started asking some exceptional artists to come home.

And the most exciting artist of the seasonis Nathan Berg.

Berg was born in Spalding, Saskatchewanand attended high school at Luther BibleCollege in Outlook. But the rest, as the saying goes, is history.

Nathan attended musical studies at somevery prestigious schools; the most notableis the Guildhall School of Music in London,England. While at Guildhall he gainedrecognition winning the Kathleen FerrierCompetition, the Peter Pears Competition,and Guildhall’s Gold Medal.

The English journalist Bernard Levin oncewrote of the young Nathan Berg in TheTimes: “A Canadian baritone, Nathan Berg byname, with a voice not only powerful and fullof meaning, but of such velvet beauty thatthe comparison cannot be avoided: surelythe young Fischer-Dieskau sounded like this.”

Since his debut singing Messiah in Paris inDecember 1992, Berg has become knownfor his contributions in Early to Classical

music periods in opera and concert.Highlights from his earlier career includeperformances and recordings with Frenchearly music group Les Arts Florissants withwhom he recorded often. He also recordedDvorak’s Stabat Mater with the late RobertShaw and the Atlanta Symphony whichproved to be Shaw’s final recording and aGerman Lieder disc with pianist JuliusDrake.

Berg is an established recording artist withover 30 CD and DVD recordings to hisname – he is a JUNO Award winner andGrammy nominee. And in the two decadesthat his career has spanned he’s workedwith every important opera company andorchestra, and with the likes of Abbado,Ashkenazy, Boulez, Davis, Dohnanyi,Dutoit, Eschenbach, Mackerras, Masur,Maazel, Norrington, Ozawa, Salonen, and arecent recording of Beethoven Symphony9 with the San Francisco Orchestra andMichael Tilson-Thomas.

His achievements are exceptional. He is indemand around the globe for hisperformances ranging from the Baroque toWagner. And his SSO performance inMarch marks the first time that he hasperformed with our orchestra. This is a bigmoment for music here: it’s time tocelebrate a hero!

New Furniture Arriving Weekly

Espana – Chabrier6 minsEspana is the most famous orchestral composition by French composer Emmanuel Chabrier(1841–1894). Written in 1883 after a trip to Spain, it was dedicated to the conductor CharlesLamoureux, who conducted the first public performance on 4 November 1883, at the Théâtredu Château d’Eau for the Société des Nouveaux Concerts in Paris.After a short guitar-like introduction, the first theme appears low on muted trumpets and recurs four times during the piece. This is followed by a flowing second theme (bassoons,horns, cellos). Bassoons introduce another idea, ben giocoso, sempre con impeto, after which instrumental sections take up a dialogue with another highly-rhythmic theme. After a returnto the first theme, another flowing melody, dolce espressivo, on upper strings leads to a climaxonly broken by a marcato theme on trombones. Instrumental and thematic variants lead thepiece to its ecstatic and joyous conclusion.

Concierto de Aranjuez – Rodrigo30 minsThe Concierto de Aranjuez has remained Rodrigo's most popular work. While he maintainedthat there was no program implied, the title refers to a famous royal enclave on the road toAndalusia on the Tagus River near Madrid. According to the composer, the music "seems tobring to life the essence of eighteenth-century court life, where aristocratic distinction blendswith popular culture." The Concerto is meant to sound like the hidden breeze that stirs thetreetops in the parks; it should only be as strong as a butterfly and as delicate as a veronica (apass with the cape at a bullfight).The guitar solo that opens the Concerto sets up a series of strummed chords that promise, butdelay, the arrival of the principal theme. Only a full minute later, after the orchestra has repeatedthe pattern, does the theme actually appear, played by the violins with the orchestra andsoloist engaging in a musical dialogue.The Adagio is the heart of the Concerto, capturing for the concert hall the brooding Flamencostrains in a late-night bar. The guitar sinuously, even lovingly, embellishes a melody like an example of fine decorative Moorish calligraphy.The final movement comes like a splash of cold water on a sunburn. The movement is a seriesof free variations based on a lively sixteenth-century folksong.

Interval

Sevillana – Elgar5 minsThis is a short piece for orchestra by the English composer Edward Elgar written in 1884 andpublished as his Op. 7. It was first published by Tuckwood, with the composer's revision of1889 published by Ascherberg in 1895. It was dedicated to W. C. Stockley, conductor of theBirmingham Festival.The piece was composed when he was a young man of 26, shortly after the break-up of his engagement to Miss Helen Weaver.

Airs d’Espagne – Jose Evangelista15 minsThis piece consists of 15 folk melodies from Spain. They include worksongs, lullabies, enter-tainment songs, religious songs, etc. They come from a variety of regions and most of themare probably fairly old. These arrangements are not harmonizations. The melodies are

presented as such, or at most repeated, without formal developments or modulations. There isa systematic use of ornamentation and heterophony which nearly gives the impression of realpolyphony, but with no counterpoint or chords. My purpose is to emphasize the validity ofSpanish folk music in its pure linear dimensions, that is, as melody. As a matter of fact, manyfolk tunes are monodic originally, without harmonic accompaniment and they often exhibitmodal features difficult to reconcile with the harmonic tonal language. This piece was commissioned by the CBC. J. Evangelista

Capriccio Espagnol – Rimsky-Korsakov16 minsCapriccio Espagnol, Op. 341. Alborada2. Variozioni3. Alborada4. Scena e canto Gitano (Scene and Gypsy Song)5. Fandango Asturiano

Many composers have been inspired by customs, melodies and national or ethnic characteristicsof countries other than their own. Outstanding examples include Tchaikovsky’s Capriccio Italien,Bruch’s Kol Nidrei, Dvorák’s New World Symphony, Elgar’s Alassio, Mendelssohn’s “Italian” Symphony and the work heard here. Inspiration in this special compositional category comesto composers in many ways such as personal travel, attending performances by visiting foreignartists, or research and study.

In the summer of 1887, Rimsky-Korsakov was visiting not Spain but Switzerland. Borodin haddied in February and had left his opera Knyaz Igor (Prince Igor) uncompleted, and Rimsky-Korsakov undertook its completion. Rimsky-Korsakov had collected material that he originallyplanned to incorporate into a virtuoso violin fantasy on Spanish themes, but the final form ofthe work that emerged was that of a five-movement orchestral suite in which the movementsare played without pause. The composer himself explained that the changes of timbres, thehappy choice of melodic designs and figuration patterns that are precisely suited to each kindof instrument, the short virtuoso cadenzas for solo instruments, the rhythm of the percussioninstruments, and so on, constitute in this piece the very essence of the composition. Althoughit is true that the work derives much of its effect from brilliant orchestration, the composer insisted that the piece is a “brilliant composition for orchestra,” not a “brilliantly-orchestratedcomposition.”

In the first movement in A Major, an alborada (morning song), the full orchestra introduces thetwo principal themes. Violin arpeggios lead to the second movement, “Variations,” which is inthe unrelated key of F Major. The French horn announces the theme and five short variationsfollow. A flute solo leads to a recall of the opening alborada, now transposed to B-flat Majorwith different orchestration. The fourth movement, “Scene and Gypsy Song,” begins with a rollon the side drum. Five cadenzas are heard, followed by a harp glissando. The gypsy song, a seductive cantilena in the violins, grows in drama and intensity, and builds to a whirling climax.A rhythmic theme for trombones begins the final movement, Fandango Asturiano. Woodwindspresent a second theme, and the music becomes extremely lively. The work concludes with arecall of the alborada theme. © Ted Wilks

The concept is simple: find 2,000 donorsto give just $100 each to the SSO

before May 31, 2015.

Your tax deductible donation will begenerously matched dollar for dollar

by the Frank and Ellen Remai Foundationand for every gift of $100

a seat will be reserved for youat a special concert

and champagne partythis November.

The only way to get in on this is tobe one of the 2,000 so that we can say,

“Thank you!” musically!
