MORTONGOULDSpirituals for Orchestra (1941)Morton Gould, composer, conductor, pianist,arranger and administrator, was born on December10, 1913 in New York City. By the age of four, he wasplaying the piano and composing; at six, he had oneof his first compositions published (a waltz called,appropriately, Just Six); by the time he was eight, hehad played piano on broadcasts of WOR Radio inNew York. In 1932, when he was 19, he became staffpianist at Radio City Music Hall. After a brief stint withNBC, Gould was engaged as composer, arranger andconductor by WOR, where he did a weekly broad-cast; from 1942 to 1945, he performed the sameduties for the Cresta Blanca Carnival and ChryslerHour programs on CBS. In addition to his light com-positions for radio, Gould wrote for film(Windjammer), television (the World War I series,Holocaust and Celebration), ballet (Fall RiverLegend), Broadway (Billion Dollar Baby and Armsand the Girl), orchestra, symphonic band, chamberensembles and chorus. He was also a Grammy-win-ning conductor. In 1994, Gould was one of five recip-ients of the Kennedy Center Honors, the highestaward given by the United States to its artists; the fol-lowing year he received the Pulitzer Prize for hisStringmusic. In addition to his careers as composer, performer, arranger and conductor,Morton Gould was also president of ASCAP from 1986 to 1994. He died on February 21,1996, while in Orlando to conduct seminars at the Disney Institute.

Spirituals for Orchestra, the work that established Gould’s reputation as a concert com-poser, was introduced under the composer’s direction at the WNYC Festival of AmericanMusic in New York on February 9, 1941. Soon after Spirituals was premiered, Gould wroteof it, “I have tried to compose music the way one speaks. I tried to make it as direct and sim-ple as possible. Part of the Jubilee section, for example, is in boogie-woogie pattern. Ofcourse, many contemporary jazz effects coincide with certain rhythmic patterns in our spiri-tuals. The White and Negro spirituals make a tremendous body of folk material. One groupties into another. That is, our White songs are influenced by our Negro songs, and the otherway around. What I tried to do was to synthesize some of these features. My starting prem-ise was that our spirituals develop a wide gamut of emotions, musically. These emotions arespecifically American. The songs range from strictly spiritual ones that are escapist in feeling,or light and gay, to those having tremendous depth and tragic impact. My idea was to get fivemoods, widely contrasted in feeling. Although most of the work is original as far as thematicmaterial goes, I have used fragments of folk tunes here and there. The first movement(Proclamation) has a dramatic-religious intensity. The second movement (Sermon) is a sim-ple narrative — a sort of lyrical folk tale. The third movement (A Little Bit of Sin) is humorousand good-natured. The fourth movement (Protest) is bitter, grim and crying-out. The lastmovement (Jubilee) is a festive and dance-like piece.”

PROGRAM NOTES BY DR. RICHARD E. RODDA pittsburghsymphony.org 15

LEONARD BERNSTEINWest Side Story Suite for Violin andOrchestra, Arranged and adapted byDavid Newman (1957, arr. 2011)

Leonard Bernstein, a native of Boston, had a produc-tive fascination with New York City for much of hiscareer. Beside being linked with that city’s majororchestra for many years as conductor and musicdirector, the great metropolis also served as the inspi-ration for several of his original stage compositions —the ballet Fancy Free (1944), the musicals On theTown (1944) and Wonderful Town (1952), the scorefor Elia Kazan’s film On theWaterfront (1954) and theepochal West Side Story. The idea for West Side Storywas suggested to Bernstein as early as 1949 by thechoreographer Jerome Robbins, who envisioned amodern adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic Romeoand Juliet set in New York City. Bernstein was fasci-nated with the idea, but could not find time to workon the project until the middle 1950s, beginning com-position as soon as he had finished the brilliant scorefor the operetta/musical Candide. Stephen Sondheim,in his Broadway debut, supplied the lyrics, ArthurLaurents wrote the book and Robbins staged theshow, which was finally completed in 1957. After try-outs in Washington and Philadelphia, West Side Storywas unveiled on Broadway on September 26th and ran for almost two years. After a ten-month road tour, it returned to New York and closed on April 27, 1960 after a total of 732Broadway performances. It was made into a film in 1961 that swept 10 Oscars, includingBest Picture, and has since entered into the pantheon of the American theater as one ofthe greatest musicals ever created.

West Side Story was one of the first musicals to explore a serious subject with widesocial implications. More than just the story of the tragic lives of ordinary people in a small,grubby section of New York, it was concerned with urban violence, juvenile delinquen-cy, clan hatred and young love. The show was criticized as harshly realistic by some whoadvocated an entirely escapist function for the musical, depicting things that were notappropriately shown on the Broadway stage. Most, however, recognized that it expandedthe scope of the musical through references both to classical literature (Romeo and Juliet)and to the pressing problems of modern society. Brooks Atkinson, the distinguished criticof The New York Times, noted in his book Broadway that West Side Story was “a harshballad of the city, taut, nervous and flaring, the melodies choked apprehensively, therhythms wild, swift and deadly.” West Side Story, like a very few other musicals — ShowBoat, Oklahoma, Pal Joey, A Chorus Line, Sunday in the Park with George, Rent —provides more than just an evening’s pleasant diversion. It is a work that gave an entirelynew vision and direction to the American musical theater.

JEAN SIBELIUSSymphony No. 1 in E minor, Opus 39(1898-1899)By the time he was 34, when he finished his FirstSymphony, Sibelius was already a feted national hero.He came to maturity when his native Finland wassearching for its national cultural and political identityafter centuries of domination by Sweden and Russia,and his music gave vent to the aspirations of his coun-trymen at the time when the Czar’s representativesforbade inflammatory, patriotic words. To invest hisworks with a powerful nationalistic message, heturned for inspiration to the epic compilation ofFinnish legends, the Kalevala. A series of stirringworks based on those old stories preceded the FirstSymphony — En Saga and Kullervo (1892), KareliaSuite (1893) and Four Legends, which include thehaunting Swan of Tuonela (1893-1895). Finlandiawas born in the same year — 1899 — as the E minorSymphony. As early as 1897, Sibelius was granted anannual sustenance stipend from the Finnish Senate asrecognition of his contribution to the life of the nationso that he would be free to continue his creative work.

program notes

The First Symphony shows the influence both of Sibelius’ study of German music in Berlinand of the Russian dominance of Finland’s artistic life. Coming, as it does, in the last yearof the Romantic century, the Symphony looks back for its formal precedents to the orches-tral works of the great masters of the German tradition, specifically Beethoven andBrahms. In melodic material, instrumentation and certain points of style, however, it turnsfurther east, to the music of Borodin and, especially, Tchaikovsky, whose Sixth Symphonyhad been composed only six years before and performed in Helsinki in 1894 and 1897.Sibelius even told his wife, Aïno, of Tchaikovsky that “there is much in that man that I rec-ognize in myself.” Against this Russo-German background, Sibelius placed his own strongmusical personality in establishing himself as a symphonist with a work given to broademotions and dramatic gestures in an expansive, Romantic mood.

The first movement is introduced by a bardic clarinet solo played above a timpanipedal point. (It is with such orchestral touches that Sibelius admitted trying to evoke thetopography of his homeland, in this case, the solitary reddish granite blocks jutting fromthe sea along Finland’s Baltic coast.) The sonata form proper is begun with the entry of thestrings proclaiming the main theme, a typically Sibelian melody begun with a sustainednote intensifying to a quick rhythmic flourish. A richly lyrical theme for violins and cellosfollows. The second theme, related to the main theme in shape and rhythm, is given bythe woodwinds. The development section utilizes the thematic material heard in the expo-sition, to which are added the stern brass chords so characteristic of Sibelius’ orchestraltechnique. The recapitulation includes most of the material from the exposition given ina heightened setting.

The Andante, warm and lyrical, opens with a nostalgic melody for violins and cellos.The central section is led by the horn choir playing a serene theme above the undulatingaccompaniment of the harp and strings. The long closing section elaborates the openingtheme. The Scherzo, in traditional three-part form (A–B–A), comprises brassy, energeticouter sections surrounding a slow, sustained, contrasting trio. The finale begins with thesolo clarinet melody that opened the Symphony. Though the movement is marked “Quasiuna Fantasia,” it follows sonata form, with an expressive second theme for strings in slow-er tempo. The functions of development and recapitulation are fused.

Yan Pascal Tortelier is principal conductor ofthe Sao Paulo Symphony Orchestra, andenjoys a distinguished career as a guest withthe world’s most prestigious orchestras.

He began his musical career as a violinistand, at 14, won first prize for violin at theParis Conservatoire and also made his debutas a soloist with the London PhilharmonicOrchestra.

CAMILLE SAINT-SAËNSConcerto No. 5 in F major for Piano andOrchestra, Opus 103, “Egyptian” (1896)

At the age of two, Camille Saint-Saëns climbed uponto the piano bench and spent a large part of the restof his life there. To perform, of course, meant to tour,and travel became one of Saint-Saëns’ chief pastimes.He went to the corners of the earth, from Singapore toSan Francisco, but he tried to spend his winters in thebaking sun and relative anonymity of Algiers, awayfrom the drab Parisian weather. His fondness forNorth Africa carried him on at least two occasions toEgypt, each visit inspiring a work for piano andorchestra: Africa, of 1891, based on native songs, andthe Fifth Piano Concerto (“Egyptian”), composed atLuxor in 1896. The composer was the soloist in thepremiere of the Concerto on June 2, 1896 in Paris ata concert celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of hisdebut as a pianist.

The Concerto’s opening movement follows thetraditional sonata-concerto structure, with a chordal


artists’ colony in Saratoga Springs. David Zinman conducted the work’s first performance,in Baltimore on May 18, 1989. In 2000, the League of American Orchestras named Son etLumière a ‘Millennium Work,’ and the score was recorded on Albany Records by theAlbany Symphony under conductor David Alan Miller.

“Son et Lumière (‘Sound and Light’), the title for this piece intended as an orchestralentertainment whose subject is the play of colors, bright surfaces and shimmery textures, isborrowed from the kind of show staged for tourists at historic sites or famous buildings. Itried in this music to recapture the élan and immediacy that regular meters and repetitiverhythms make possible — the sort of thing forbidden during the mid-20th-century mod-ernist regime but later restored in the ‘minimalist’ work of composers like John Adams,Steve Reich and many others. Throughout its brief nine minutes, therefore, Son et Lumièreis built almost exclusively from short, busy ostinato figures — my attempt, I suppose, toachieve the rhythmic vitality of minimalism without giving in to the over-simple harmoniclanguage that sometimes comes with it.

“Surprisingly, the musical materials wanted to shape themselves into an approximationof 19th-century sonata form. There is an introduction, a first theme (based on triadic brokenchords), a second theme (beginning with the flute solo), and a closing theme (two picco-los). In a sort of development section, these materials are recombined in new ways; in arecapitulation, both the first and second themes are recalled more or less intact (part of thesecond theme is actually repeated quite literally).

“Then, in the coda, a second surprise: as if another music has all the while been lurk-ing behind the shiny surface, the strings now unexpectedly emerge to assert a new, morepassionate, more ‘serious’ voice in an attempt to transcend the external show of sound andlight.”

main theme and a complementary, dance-like subordinate melody. “The second move-ment,” Saint-Saëns wrote, “takes us on a journey to the East and even, in one section, tothe Far East. The G major passage is a Nubian love song which I heard sung by the boat-men on the Nile as I went down the river in a dahabieh.” The finale is a breathtaking tour-de-force of keyboard technique, proof that Saint-Saëns had lost none of his piano facilityduring the half-century of his performing career. Arthur Hervey, one of the composer’searly biographers, interpreted the incessant rhythmic motion of the finale as Saint-Saëns’attempt “to describe his experiences on the sea voyage” home from Egypt. “A note of real-ism,” Hervey continued, “is introduced by the sound of the propeller, while the serenityof the voyage is interrupted by a short storm.” Storms, propellers and voyages there wellmay be, but the real point of this music is its dazzling display for the soloist in one of Saint-Saëns’ great, unsinkable exercises in virtuosity.

SERGEI PROKOFIEVSuite from Cinderella (1941-1944)

Immediately after the belated triumph in Russia ofhis Romeo and Juliet with its production by theKirov Ballet in Leningrad in 1940, Prokofiev wascommissioned by that company to write anotherfull-length ballet; Cinderella was suggested as thetopic. Prokofiev jumped at the idea, and he beganthe piece early the following year. He workedquickly, and had largely finished the first two acts inshort score by early summer. Then, however, bitterreality burst into his fantasy world. “On 22nd June[1941],” he recalled in later years, “on a warm,sunny morning, I was installed at my work table.Suddenly, the watchman’s wife appeared and askedme if it was true that the Germans were attacking usand bombing our towns. The news staggered me.We went to [Sergei] Eisenstein’s place [the directorof Alexander Nevsky, with whom Prokofiev haddeveloped a close association after writing the scorefor that monumental film], and discovered that itwas perfectly true. On 22nd June, 1941, theGerman Fascists attacked Soviet Russia.” Under thecircumstance, Cinderella seemed frivolous andunpatriotic, and Prokofiev put the score away infavor of work on some military marches and anopera based on War and Peace, Tolstoy’s epic thatuses an earlier European invasion of Russia as its backdrop. Prokofiev and other artistswere evacuated to the relative safety of Nalchik in the Caucasus Mountains and then toTiflis, the capital of Georgia, for the next two years, where, in addition to War and Peace,he composed his well-known Seventh Piano Sonata, the Sonata for Flute and Piano and

the music for Eisenstein’s movie Ivan the Terrible. The difficulty of the war years, howev-er, had not expunged Cinderella from the Kirov’s plans and, in 1943, Prokofiev was invit-ed to join the company at its temporary home in Perm. Despite the cramped conditionsand personnel limitations in Perm, the Kirov was still staging productions (Khachaturian’sGayne had been premiered there the preceding December), and its administrators toldProkofiev that they would like to mount his ballet before the end of the year. He workedthroughout the summer in close collaboration with the librettist Nikolai Volkov and thechoreographer Konstantin Sergeyev (who had danced Romeo in the Kirov’s 1940 produc-tion of Prokofiev’s masterwork), but the ballet proved to be too elaborate for the facilitiesavailable at Perm, and it was postponed. The orchestration was completed during the sum-mer of 1944 at a retreat house in Ivanovo, near Moscow, where Prokofiev, Shostakovich,Glière, Miaskovsky and other important composers had been moved as the conditions ofwar ameliorated.Cinderellawas premiered with great success on November 21, 1945, notby the Kirov in Leningrad, however, but by the Bolshoi in Moscow, since Galina Ulanova,the ballerina for whom the title role was created, had recently transferred from one com-pany to the other.

“The main thing I wanted to convey in the music ofCinderella,” wrote Prokofiev, “wasthe poetic love of Cinderella and the Prince — the inception and flowering of the emotion,the obstacles in its way, the realization of a dream. A major role in my work on Cinderellawas played by the fairy-tale nature of the subject, which faced me as the composer with anumber of interesting problems — the mysteriousness of the good grandmother fairy, thefantasy of the 12 dwarfs leaping at midnight from the clock and beating out a tap-dancereminding Cinderella to return home, the swift alternation of the countries of the world vis-ited by the Prince in search of Cinderella, the vivid and poetic breath of nature in the fig-ures of the four fairies of the seasons of the year and their attendants…. Besides the dramat-ic structure, it was very important to me that the ballet Cinderella should be most dance-able, that the dances should flow from the design of the plot, be varied, and that the artistsin the ballet should have sufficient measure of opportunity to dance and display their art. Iwrote Cinderella in the traditions of the old classical ballet; it contains a pas-de-deux, anadagio, a gavotte, several waltzes, a pavane, a passepied, a bourrée, a mazurka, a galop.Every personage has his variation. Although the fairy tale of Cinderella is found amongmany peoples, I wanted to take it up as a genuine Russian fairy story.”

More than just a children’s story or a bit of theatrical escapism, Cinderella touches ondeeper meanings and more universal themes. The work’s librettist, Nikolai Volkov, saidthat “new images of the Prince and the drudge [Cinderella] rose before my eyes. The Princeacquired the features of a passionate and impetuous youth who longed to escape from theconfining influence of the stagnant court life…. In our imagination, Cinderella was shroud-ed in the mists of dreams, a girl who lived on the foretaste of love. The result of this inter-pretation of the chief characters was that the ballet acquired the features of a love story. Thefairy tale, while preserving its mood of fantasy, was filled with a psychological and lyricalcontent.” In his biography of Prokofiev, Israel V. Nestyev wrote, “The underlying idea ofthe ballet is Cinderella’s modesty, industry and spiritual purity over the greed, heartlessnessand crass arrogance of her stepmother and stepsisters. Following the original story, thecruel characters are derided and humbled, and the good Cinderella is chosen by thePrince. Pure love is the central theme of both the libretto and the music of the ballet.”
