Dear Friends,

Welcome back! It is wonderful to be sharing music with you again in this new season. Last season was a milestone year for the KSO, from Candide all the way to Beethoven’s Ninth, with plenty of highlights and happy memories in between—and we are continually striving to be bolder and better for you, our audience.

Our 2019-20 Masterworks and Chamber Classics Series continues our commitment to fostering community through collaboration in the concert hall. We will partner with the Knoxville Choral Society, Nief-Norf, and the Knoxville Museum of Art on projects ranging from Handel’s Messiah to a world premiere commission, celebrate Beethoven’s 250th year, and welcome soloists both from across the nation and right within our own ranks. In March, we will travel to Washington, D.C. to perform at the Kennedy Center as one of only four organizations featured in SHIFT: A Festival of American Orchestras.

But we start things off with a trip to the moon and beyond, in recognition of the 50th anniversary of the Moon Landing. Our Masterworks opener is a journey into of unknown worlds, both external and internal, starting in earthly nature with Strauss’s Blue Danube Waltzes and ending floating past Neptune into the great unknown. We are overjoyed to have our performances of The Planets accompanied by stunning images from Adrian Wyard. We will also hear Missy Mazzoli’s These Worlds in Us, a piece honoring her father, who was a Vietnam veteran. We are honored to be joined by poet, active duty U.S. Air Force member, Knoxvillian and editor of War, Literature & the Arts, Captain Sean Purio, who will recite the poem that inspired Mazzoli's music, James Tate’s The Lost Pilot.

Our Chamber Classics season premiere features three incredible local artists, starting with composer Dosia McKay, whose Unveiling begins a program about memory and transformation. Then, KSO Principal Second Violin Edward Pulgar and Principal Viola Katy Gawne will dazzle with Mozart’s distinctive Sinfonia concertante, followed by the always satisfying Serenade in C by Tchaikovsky.

That’s just the first month of the season, and I assure you, the best is yet to come. Thank you for being here!

Sincerely,

Aram Demirjian

FEATURED PERFORMERS

Notes on the Program by Ken Meltzer

On the Beautiful Blue Danube, Waltzes, Opus 314 (1867)

Johann Strauss, Jr. was born in Vienna, Austria, on October 25, 1825, and died there on June 3, 1899. The firstperformance of The Blue Danube took place in Vienna in February of 1867, in a concert by the Vienna Men’s Choral Society. The Blue Danube is scored for piccolo, two flutes, two oboes, twoclarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, trombone, tuba, timpani, bass drum, snare drum, triangle, harp, and strings. Approximate performance time is nine minutes.

Duration: 9 minutes

Johann Strauss, Jr. composed his immortal On the Beautiful Blue Danube for the 1867 carnival season. The work received its premiere in a February concert by the Vienna Men’s Choral Society. That performance of The Blue Danube included a text by the Society’s official poet, Josef Weyl, who attempted to make light of the Austrians’ defeat by the Prussians the previous year: “Viennese, be glad! Oho, why so?” The words clearly detracted from the audience’s ability to appreciate Strauss’s incomparable score, and those in attendance offered only a lukewarm response.

Strauss was afraid that the Waltz “was not sufficiently catchy.” However, The Blue Danube was reintroduced a few months later in Paris, this time shorn of its problematic verse. The reaction was overwhelming, and The Blue Danube quickly became one of the most beloved waltz compositions.

These Worlds in Us (for full orchestra) (2006)

Missy Mazzoli was born in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, on October 27, 1980. The firstperformanceofThese Worlds in Us took place in New Haven, Connecticut on March 1, 2006, by the Yale Philharmonia. Thefirstprofessionalperformancetookplace in Minneapolis, Minnesota on December 1, 2006, with the Minnesota Orchestra, conducted by Osmo Vänskä. These Worlds in Us is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, twobassoons, four horns, two trumpets, two trombones, tuba, two melodicas (or synthesizers), bass drum, snare drum, vibraphone, hi-hat, suspended cymbal, and strings.

Duration: 9 minutes

Reading: Captain Sean Purio

The title These Worlds In Us comes from James Tate’s poem The Lost Pilot, a meditation on his father’s death in World War II:

(excerpt) My head cocked towards the sky, I cannot get off the ground, and you, passing over again,

fast, perfect and unwilling to tell me that you are doing well, or that it was a mistake

that placed you in that world, and me in this; or that misfortune placed these worlds in us.

This piece is dedicated to my father, who was a soldier during the Vietnam War. In talking to him it occurred to me that, as we grow older, we accumulate worlds of intense memory within us, and that grief is often not far from joy. I like the idea that music can reflect painful and blissful sentiments in a single note or gesture,


NOTES ON THE PROGRAM

and sought to create a sound palette that I hope is at once completely new and strangely familiar to the listener. The theme of this work, a mournful line first played by the violins, collapses into glissandos almost immediately after it appears, giving the impression that the piece has been submerged under water or played on a turntable that is grinding to a halt. The melodicas (mouth organs) played by the percussionists in the opening and final gestures mimic the wheeze of a broken accordion, lending a particular vulnerability to the bookends of the work. The rhythmic structures and cyclical nature of the piece are inspired by the unique tension and logic of Balinese music, and the march-like figures in the percussion bring to mind the militaristic inspiration for the work as well as the relentless energy of electronica drum beats.

Clair de Lune, from Suite bergamasque (1890) (orch. Stokowski)

Claude Debussy was born in St. Germaine-en-Laye, France, on August 22, 1862, and died in Paris, France, on March 25, 1918. The Stokowski orchestration of Clair de Lune is scored for four flutes,oboe, English horn, two clarinets, two bassoons, French horn, two trumpets, glockenspiel, harp, and strings.

Duration: 5 minutes

The legendary conductor Leopold Stokowski (1882-1977) made numerous orchestral transcriptions of works by other composers, most notably Johann Sebastian Bach. But a particular favorite of Stokowski’s was his arrangement of Claude Debussy’s Clair de lune, part of the French composer’s early collection of solo piano pieces, the Suite bergamasque (1890).

Stokowski frequently programmed his transcription of Clair de lune in concert. He also made several recordings, including one with the Philadelphia Orchestra intended for the Walt Disney animated film Fantasia (1940) that was cut, due to time considerations.

When Arnold Schoenberg first heard Stokowski’s lovely orchestration of Clair de lune, he “thought it was an original of Debussy.”

The Planets, Suite for Large Orchestra, Opus 32 (1916)

Gustav Holst was born in Cheltenham, England, on September 21, 1874, and died in London, England, on May 25, 1934. The first performance of The Planets took place at Queen’s Hall in London on September 29, 1918, with Adrian Boult conducting the New Queen’s Hall Orchestra. The Planets is scored for hiddenfemalechorus(finalmovement),two piccolos, four flutes, bass flute,three oboes, bass oboe, English horn, three clarinets, bass clarinet, three bassoons, contrabassoon, six horns, four trumpets, three trombones, tenor tuba, bass tuba, timpani (two players), glockenspiel, chimes, xylophone, tam-tam, snare drum, triangle, tambourine, cymbals, suspended cymbal, bass drum, two harps, celesta, organ, and strings.

Duration: 51 minutes

Gustav Holst once observed: “As a rule I only study things that suggest music to me.” And it was Holst’s lifelong interest in astrology that provided the inspiration for his most popular orchestral work, The Planets. Holst characterized his orchestral work as “a series of mood pictures” in which the movements—each representing a planet of the solar system—“acted as foils to one another.” The various movements were not arranged in accordance with the order of the planets in the solar system, but rather, in such a manner as to achieve optimal musical contrast and effect.





Although Holst completed The Planets toward the close of 1916, the onset of the First World War precluded a concert performance of the work. In the summer of 1918, Holst prepared to depart England to aid the war effort. As a special farewell gift, Henry Balfour Gardiner arranged for a private concert premiere of The Planets at Queen’s Hall in London on September 29, 1918. Holst chose the young Adrian Boult—later Sir Adrian—to conduct the first performance, which proved to be a great success.

The first public performance of The Planets took place on February 27, 1919, again with Boult conducting at Queen’s Hall (although Venus and Neptune were not played on that occasion). The Planets soon received numerous performances in England, Europe, and throughout the world. Along with Edward Elgar’s Enigma Variations, The Planets, a thrilling sonic adventure, remains one of the most popular large-scale British orchestral works.

I. Mars, the Bringer of War. Allegro—While many believed that Holst created the opening movement as a memorial to the horrors of World War I, the composer insisted that “I had the whole of Mars fixed in my mind before” the August 4, 1914 Declaration. The movement begins softly, but ominously, with an incessant rhythm introduced by the timpani and col legno (“with the wood”; i.e., the string instruments play with the wood, rather than the horsehair portion of the bows) strings, and interjections by woodwind and brass. The music proceeds to a furious climax. Several brief episodes follow, all maintaining a relentless momentum to the shattering final bars.

II. Venus, the Bringer of Peace. Adagio—Venus offers blissful contrast to the violent opening movement. The solo horn’s ascending phrase is answered by a descending woodwind figure. A solo violin introduces the central Andante episode. A varied reprise of the opening Adagio concludes Venus.

III. Mercury, the Winged Messenger. Vivace—The third movement is a scherzo that exhibits a charm and grace reminiscent of Felix Mendelssohn’s Octet for Strings and Incidental

Music to A Midsummer Night’s Dream. A 6/8 figure is deftly transferred from instrument to instrument. A middle section features lovely solo appearances by the violin, oboe, flute, and celeste. The return of the opening section (with a nod to its predecessor) concludes Mercury.

IV. Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity. Allegro giocoso—Jupiter is the movement that most clearly reflects Holst’s love of British folk music. It opens with a flurry of activity in the violins and a bold orchestral statement. Several melodies follow, the most notable being an eloquent theme, marked Andante maestoso (Moderately slow, majestic), introduced by the strings and horns. This melody was later used as the basis for a patriotic hymn, “I Vow to Thee, My Country.” The bustle of the opening reappears for the jubilant finish.

V. Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age. Adagio— The hypnotic opening features the flutes, bass flute, and harps. Over the repeated tread of pizzicato cellos and basses, the trombones introduce a somber march. The music builds to a powerful climax, featuring the repeated tolling of the bells. A reprise of the opening finally yields to a serene conclusion.

VI. Uranus, the Magician. Allegro—The trumpets and trombones, followed by the tubas and timpani, intone a four-note motif that returns throughout the movement. The bassoons then offer a puckish staccato figure, soon taken by the remainder of the orchestra. A solo bassoon and pizzicato cellos introduce a new theme, followed by a broader melody in the horns and strings. A prominent recapitulation of the four-note motif leads to a martial passage. A ffff climax is followed by an eerie postlude.

VII. Neptune, the Mystic. Andante—The composer directs that in the finale: “(t)he Orchestra is to play sempre pp throughout.” Various repeating figures, couched in orchestration of the utmost delicacy, masterfully evoke a sense of timelessness. A six-part wordless female chorus enters in the latter part of Neptune. The Planets concludes with the chorus’s final measure, repeated “until the sound is lost in the distance.”

Edward Pulgar, violinA violinist and conductor trained by the National Youth Orchestra System of Venezuela (currently known as “El Sistema”), Edward Pulgar was born in Caracas and began his musical studies at age eight in solfège, percussion and violin. At thirteen years old, he won his first violin competition at the Juan Bautista Plaza V National Violin Competition in Venezuela. He continued his studies in violin and orchestral conducting first in Maracaibo and then in Caracas, at the Simon Bolivar Conservatory of El Sistema and the Latin-American Violin Academy under the guidance of the eminent Venezuelan pedagogue, José Francisco del Castillo. Later, he obtained scholarships to study violin in the U.S., and consequently earned an Artist Diploma and a Master Degree in Music Performance from Duquesne University and Michigan State University, respectively.

Since 2009, Mr. Pulgar has been Principal Second Violin of the Knoxville Symphony and Chamber Orchestras, and a member of the Knoxville Symphony’s Principal String Quartet, appearing throughout East Tennessee in recitals, concerts and radio and television appearances. Prior to becoming Principal Second Violin of the Knoxville Symphony, Mr. Pulgar has also held principal positions with Symphonic Orchestras in the U.S. and South America, such as Wheeling Symphony, Altoona Symphony, Duquesne Symphony, Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, Zulia Symphony Orchestra, among others. He has also appeared as guest soloist with the Knoxville Chamber Orchestra, Duquesne University Contemporary Ensemble (performing David Stock’s “The Philosopher’s Stone” with the composer at the podium), Zulia Symphony, Delta Amacuro Symphony, Falcon Symphony, and others.

As an educator, Mr. Pulgar is a driving force in the creation and development of the newly-emerging string program and more specifically, violin program, at Carson-Newman University. The numbers in his violin studio have quadrupled in recent years and his students are performing in regional orchestras and festivals across the U.S. He has also served as an adjudicator and guest clinician with youth orchestras and colleges in East Tennessee.

He is married to violinist, Mary Pulgar, and a proud parent of two daughters, Ana and Claudia. He actively continues to pursue solo and chamber music in the U.S. and Latin America along with guest appearances as a conductor.

Notes on the Program by Ken Meltzer

Unveiling, for String Orchestra (2010)

Dosia McKay was born in Gdańsk,Poland, in 1971. The first performanceof Unveiling took place at Christ and St. Stephen’s Church in New York City, in June, 2011, with Max Lifchitz conducting North/South Consonance.

Duration: 8 minutes

“Unveiling” written for string orchestra is an exploration of layers of sounds. Beginning with one solitary note, new aural strata gradually unfold in which multiple layers of counterpoint constantly shift, weave, and intersect until the tension is finally broken in an unveiling of a tender and fleeting soundscape. The closing section is a reversal of the opening in which the layers of sound gradually recede until only the opening solitary note remains. In this work I return to my Polish heritage and the listener is likely to hear echoes of string writing of such composers as Grażyna Bacewicz, Romuald Twardowski, or Henryk Górecki. Because Polish people seem to be born with the nostalgia gene, here I give voice to unquenched longing and deep brooding.

—Dosia McKay

Sinfonia concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra in E-flatMajor,K.364(1779)

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria, on January 27, 1756, and died in Vienna, Austria, on December 5, 1791. In addition to the solo violin and viola, the Sinfonia concertante is scored for two oboes, two horns, and strings.


Mozart composed his Sinfonia concertante, K. 364, in 1779, during his final years in Salzburg. It was a difficult time for the young Mozart. He had just returned from a two-year tour of Mannheim and Paris. During his travels, Mozart attempted, unsuccessfully, to secure a new position that would allow him to fulfill his desire to leave his native city.

The composer’s mother, Anna Maria, accompanied Mozart on the trip. On July 3, 1778, while in Paris, Anna Maria Mozart died, at the age of 57. In a letter to his friend, Abbé Bullinger, Mozart revealed:

Her life flickered out like a candle. Three days before her death she made her confession, partook of the Sacrament and received Extreme Unction. During the last three days, however, she was constantly delirious, and today at twenty-one minutes past five o’clock the death agony began and she lost all sensation and consciousness. I pressed her hand and spoke to her—but she did not see me, she did not hear me, and all feeling was gone. She lay thus until she expired five hours later at twenty-one minutes past ten.



A Sinfonia concertante juxtaposes a group of solo instruments with the accompanying orchestra. Here, the solo instruments are a violin and viola. The orchestra comprises pairs of oboes and horns, and strings. In addition to his prowess as a keyboard virtuoso, Mozart was an accomplished string player. No documentation exists as to the specific circumstances that prompted Mozart to write his Sinfonia concertante. But Mozart rarely composed music of this ambitious scope without some specific concert in mind. Whether Mozart himself ever gave concert performances of either of the solo parts in this sublime work remains a matter of tantalizing speculation.

The work is in three movements. The first (Allegro maestoso) opens with a grand orchestral introduction. The soloists intone an extended E-flat, followed by a lovely descending phrase. A wealth of thematic material follows—sometimes introduced by one of the soloists, more often in dialogue. The development section is frequently tinged with melancholy. Following the recapitulation of the central themes, the soloists play Mozart’s fully-transcribed cadenza. The ensemble’s vigorous coda concludes the opening movement. Some commentators have argued that the slow-tempo second movement (Andante)—one of Mozart’s most beautiful and tragic—is a musical expression of the composer’s grief over his mother’s death. The violins sing the somber, principal theme. Soon, the solo violin and viola present their own versions of the melody. The remainder of the movement is in the spirit of an operatic duet, with the soloists often engaging in hushed dialogue. The first violins immediately present the vivacious central theme of this rondo finale (Presto). The melody returns throughout, alternating with episodes that relate to the principal theme. The vibrant mood continues to the closing fanfare, capped by a trio of forte chords.

String Quartet No. 1 in D Major, Opus 11 (1871) (orch. Theofanidis)

Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky was born in Kamsko-Votkinsk, Russia, on May 7, 1840, and died in St. Petersburg, Russia, on November6,1893.Thefirstperformanceof the String Quartet No. 1 took place at the Nobles’ Club in Moscow, Russia, on March 28, 1871. The Theofanidis orchestration is scored for flute, oboe,B-flat clarinet, bassoon, two horns,timpani, and strings.


In 1871 Tchaikovsky was a financially struggling composer and professor at the Moscow Conservatory. The Conservatory’s director, Nikolai Rubinstein, suggested that Tchaikovsky sponsor a concert featuring his own compositions. An orchestral concert was beyond Tchaikovsky’s financial means, and he decided instead to program a series of works for smaller performing forces. In order to create a concert program of appropriate length, Tchaikovsky composed a new work, his First String Quartet (first and second violins, viola, and cello) in D Major. Tchaikovsky began the Quartet in February of 1871, completing it in time for the March 28 concert, held at the Nobles’ Club in Moscow. The concert proved to be an artistic and financial success. Tchaikovsky was particularly gratified that among the members of the large audience that attended was the celebrated Russian novelist, Ivan Turgenev.

Tchaikovsky, once observed that all his compositions fell into two categories: “One, those written on my own initiative, through sudden inclination, and urgent inner necessity. Two, those inspired by external means, such as the request of a friend, or publisher, or commission. I hasten to explain that, as shown by experience, the value of a work does



not depend upon which category it belongs to.” Tchaikovsky, ever the craftsman and professional, seized upon the opportunity of his impending March, 1871 concert to create a rich and beautiful work, teeming with the glowing instrumental sonorities and unforgettable melodies that are trademarks of his genius. And in the case of the second movement Andante cantabile, Tchaikovsky produced one of concert music’s most beloved pieces.

This concert features an orchestration of the String Quartet by American composer Christopher Theofanidis (b. 1967), commissioned by the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. Mr. Theofanidis provides the following comments:

I have always been a great admirer of Tchaikovsky’s music and his brilliant orchestration, and so it was a real pleasure for me to explore this string quartet and his style of orchestration more generally. I studied many of his great works to understand certain “Tchaikovskyisms,” and I also studied works written in close proximity to the quartet to understand hallmarks of that earlier style.

A transcription of this nature presents certain challenges, not the least of which is that this small orchestra was not a medium that Tchaikovsky himself worked in. The chord voicings and doublings he commonly used with a larger orchestra were a little harder to extrapolate from this ensemble. One clue for me, however, turned out to be Tchaikovsky’s love of Mozart. Although Tchaikovsky didn’t entirely respect the classical sound when he arranged Mozart’s music in his Suite No. 4 (Mozartiana), there are enough clues to show what Tchaikovsky loved in that clean sound world, and that was an important key for me. I think this early string quartet does translate quite well into a symphonic form, and I was so delighted to be involved.

—Christopher Theofanidis

https://www.theofanidismusic.com/works/program/chamber-symphony-1.html

The Quartet is in four movements. The first (Moderato e simplice) opens with a pulsating figure that has inspired a nickname occasionally applied to the Quartet, “Accordion.” The opening movement adheres to traditional sonata form (with the introduction, development, and recapitulation of central thematic material), capped by the ebullient final bars. The slow-tempo second movement (Andante cantabile) is based upon the folk song, Sidel Vanya (“Vanya sat on a sofa and smoked a pipe of tobacco”). Tchaikovsky heard and transcribed the song two years earlier, while visiting his sister in the Ukraine. Over time, Tchaikovsky’s unforgettable setting of this melody became the subject of countless transcriptions for different kinds of performing forces. And while Tchaikovsky ultimately became frustrated at what he viewed as the Andante cantabile’s disproportionate recognition and popularity, the music was also the source of one of his most satisfying moments. Tchaikovsky recalled that during an 1876 performance: “Perhaps I was never so flattered in my life, nor was my pride as a composer so stirred, as when Lev Tolstoy, sitting beside me listening to the Andante from my First Quartet, dissolved in tears.” The Quartet’s third movement is a vibrant Scherzo (Allegro non tanto e con fuoco). The work concludes with a brilliant Finale (Allegro giusto), as with the opening movement, in sonata form.

The Gift of Music

The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra is truly thankful for your support, which makes a major impact on our service to the East Tennessee region. Along with creating excellent music and performing in the traditional venues, 80% of the KSO’s time is spent not within the concert halls, but out in the community. Our Orchestra performs in school classrooms, libraries, hospitals, city parks, and churches, and reaches more than 200,000 children and adults each year. Since many of these concerts and programs are offered at low or no cost, your financial contribution is essential to support all that we do. The KSO is proud to be the oldest continuously performing orchestra in the Southeast, and a vital component of the cultural tapestry that makes Knoxville such a special and distinctive place in which to live, work, and play.
