Orchestra MusicianTo earn a spot in any symphony orchestra, a musician must go through a series of rigorous auditions (tryouts). After a musician has earned a spot in an orchestra, they do their part to ensure that the orchestra is performing at its peak each week. They may rehearse 10 or more hours with the entire orchestra and practice many more hours at home on the concert music being performed that week, and on fundamentals to keep their skills sharp. Many orchestra musicians also teach, participate in chamber music, and perform as soloists.

Education: College or Conservatory degree(s) in music performance.

Skills Needed: A mastery-level of musicianship gained over years of practice and study; self-discipline and time management skills; the ability to work long hours, often under pressure, and to collaborate as part of a team.

How to Get Started: The earlier you begin instrument study, the better. Several string players in our orchestra started as early as 4 years old! Participating in school orchestra, band, youth orchestra and other instrumental ensembles provide excellent training.

The best part of the job: Working with world-class musicians and making beautiful music together; also, traveling to other countries to perform; and having a job you are passionate about.

Career Tip: Practice, practice, practice! Thorough preparation is critical to everything you do.

Music That Tells a StoryCleveland Orchestra Education Concerts for Grades 3-5

October 29 - November 1, 2019 The Cleveland Orchestra Vinay Parameswaran, conductorSeverance Hall

WAGNER “The Ride of the Valkyries” from Die Walküre

SAINT-SAËNS Danse macabre

MUSSORGSKY Night on Bald Mountain

PROKOFIEV Midnight from Cinderella

GRIEG “In the Hall of the Mountain King” from Peer Gynt

GOUNOD Funeral March of a Marionette

WILLIAMS “The Imperial March” (Darth Vader’s Theme) from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

RICHARD WAGNER (1813-1883) (pronounced REE-card VAHG-ner) was the youngest of 9 children. His family was poor and could not afford music lessons so he taught himself about music, and went on to become one of the world’s greatest composers! Wagner loved music that tells a story and composed operas which he called “music dramas” combining music, story and words.

On this concert you will hear Ride of the Valkyries (which was once used in a Bugs Bunny cartoon!). It is from the second of four operas that make up Wagner’s Ring of the Nibelung. Wagner’s music dramatically portrays the exciting ride of nine Valkyries, warrior maidens from Norse mythology, who guard Valhalla, the home of the gods. When brave soldiers on earth die in battle, the Valkyries swoop down on their winged horses to bring their bodies back to Valhalla where they become the gods’ immortal protectors.

CHARLES-CAMILLE SAINT-SAËNS (1835-1921) was born in Paris s raised by his widowed mother and her aunt who introduced him to the piano and gave him his first lessons. The boy was a true genius, demonstrating perfect pitch at the age of two! From The Swan in Carnival of the Animals to his Organ Symphony, Saint-Saëns was one of the greatest composers that France has ever produced.

On this concert you will hear Danse macabre. According to legend, “Death” appears at midnight every year on

Halloween. Death calls forth the dead from their cemetery graves to dance for him while he plays his fiddle ( represented by a solo violin). The skeletons dance for him until the rooster crows at dawn, when they must return to their graves until the next year. The piece starts with a harp playing a single note, D, twelve times (the twelve strokes of midnight) along with soft chords from the string section. The solo violin comes in playing the Death theme which is later repeated in other sections of the orchestra. Listen especially for the xylophone in this piece which imitates the sounds of rattling bones!

MODEST MUSSORGSKY(1839-1881) was born to wealthy parents. He was educated for a military career and served as a lieutenant in the Russian army. While serving he became passionately interested in literature, history, painting, philosophy, science, and, above all, music, and soon left the military to become a composer. Mussorgsky became one of the most influential composers of his generation.

On this concert you will hear Night on Bald Mountain which was inspired by an old, ghoulish, Russian legend. The music portrays the story of a dark witches’ ritual, where they conjured up the devil on a barren mountaintop (no trees, ‘bald’). This spooky music was used in Walt Disney’s animated movie, Fantasia in 1940.

SERGEI PROKOFIEV (1891-1953), a great Russian composer, wrote his first music at the age of 5 and composed his first opera at the age of 9. He entered the St. Petersburg Conservatory at the age of thirteen, where he studied with composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. For twenty years Prokofiev traveled throughout America and Western Europe as a pianist and conductor of his own music. Prokofiev may be most well-known among students for his composition, “Peter and the Wolf,” but

he has written many other musical stories. Do you remember the story of Cinderella who is granted permission to go to the royal ball, but must be home by midnight when the magic wears off?

On this concert you will hear “Midnight” from Cinderella Suite #1 which tells the story in music of this midnight scene. It begins with the sudden loud ticking of the palace clock. Then listen for the chimes striking 12 times near the end.

EDVARD GRIEG (1843-1907) was born in Norway, the fourth of five children. His motherwas an accomplished pinist and began teaching him piano at age 5. Grieg’s talent led him to the Leipzig Conservatory by age 15 where he studied piano and composition and soon became famous for his music that incorporated his love for his country. Grieg remains Norway’s most famous composer. Can you find Norway on the world map?

On this concert you will hear “In the Hall of the Mountain King,” Grieg captures a chase scene, starting very quietly with a young man tip-toeing through a castle, desperate to hide from angry trolls. Cleverly, Justin Timberlake used a mash-up of “In the Hall of the Mountain King” which he called, “Hair Up,” in the animated movie, Trolls! Are you surprised to find out that Hair Up originated in a piece of classical music?

CHARLES GOUNOD (pronounced Gū-nō) (1818-1893) was born in Paris, France to a very artistic family. His father was a prize-winning painter and his mother was his piano teacher. Gounod received an excellent education at the Paris Conservatory, and went on to compose operas, choral music, religious music, and more.

On this concert you will hear Gounod’s Funeral March of a Marionette, which tells the sad story of a marionette (puppet with strings) that dies in a duel, and the procession

of the mourners at the marionette’s funeral. This piece became the theme for a very famous (and spooky) television series in the 1950s-1960s called Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Some of your grandparents may remember the theme song. Ask them, then impress them with your knowledge of the name of the piece and its composer!

JOHN WILLIAMS (1932- ) was born in New York City. He learned to play several instruments as a child, including piano, and later studied composition and arranging at the famous Juilliard School of Music in New York. He has written music for more than 75 movies, including E.T., Jurassic Park, Home Alone, Hook, Harry Potter, and Star Wars, among others.

On this concert you will hear “The Imperial March” from Star Wars. This piece is sometimes called Darth Vader’s Theme because it plays whenever Darth Vader appears or is mentioned in the Star Wars movies. The theme music represents the strong, orderly, controlling Galactic Empire and also symbolizes evil and hate which is why it is played whenever the futuristic villain Darth Vader appears. “The Imperial March” is sometimes played when an opposing team enters the field at a Cleveland Browns, Indians or Cavaliers game!

How do you tell a story without words? With music of course! Like an author, a composer of music can portray characters, places, actions, even emotions, by choosing specific instruments, notes, rhythms, and more, to tell a story in sound. You will ‘hear’ mythological warrior maidens on flying horses, dancing skeletons, trolls, evil witches, futuristic villains, and more, in Music That Tells a Story!

Ludwig van Beethoven (LUDE-vig vahn BAY-toevin) was born in Bonn, Germany in December 17, 1770. In 2020, people around the world will be celebrating Beethoven’s 250th birthday!

Beethoven’s father was a court musician whose small salary barely supported the family. He gave Beethoven his first lessons on piano and violin at 5 years old and it was immediately clear that young Beethoven was extraordinarily talented. His father saw an opportunity to make money by cultivating his son’s career as a ‘child star,’ and set up a grueling tour schedule of performances.

Beethoven was forced to practice day and night by his father. By age 11 he was earning a salary as a church organist, and was actively composing music in his teens. An historic event in Beethoven’s life occurred when, at age 16, he played for the great Mozart, who was then at the peak of his career. This meeting came to symbolize a “passing of the torch” in music history. Mozart marveled at the young Beethoven’s talent and told his friends, “Keep your eyes on him; some day he will give the world something to talk about!” How right Mozart was!

Beethoven learned much about musical form and style from Mozart and also from Franz Josef Haydn, both foremost composers of what is called the “Classical” period in music history. Beethoven’s earlier compositions reflect these influences. However, as time passed and Beethoven evolved as a composer, his music slowly edged toward a new style which would later be called “Romanticism.” He experimented with changing keys, tempos, and dynamic levels; his compositions were often filled with sudden shifts in emotion. Audiences of his time were not used to such mood changes and did not always like what they heard. But Beethoven’s revolutionary music reflected current events of the time – the late 1700s was a tumultuous period in European history, filled with “storm and stress” (sturm und drang in German).

Beethoven was given to fits of temper and grumpiness which became trademarks of Beethoven’s personality. Surprisingly, his controversial behavior rarely got him into trouble and he enjoyed a rather prosperous composing career. Despite his social shortcomings, Beethoven was passionately committed to justice and believed in living a decent, moral life. “A man is as good as his word,” was Beethoven’s personal motto, and his reason for composing was not for fame or honor, but pure artistic expression: “What I have in my heart must come out, and therefore I write.”

Perhaps Beethoven’s greatest personal struggle was his own deafness, which began as early as his late twenties and progressively worsened throughout the rest of his life. This handicap did not impair his talent for composition (he could still hear music in his head), but it did present problems of a more social nature. Beethoven wrote, “I must live almost alone like one who has been banished. I can mix with society only as much as true necessity demands…I fear being exposed to the danger that my condition might be noticed.” He found comfort in nature and often took long walks in the countryside, where many of his musical ideas took root. Despite his profound sadness and frustration, Beethoven was determined to continue composing, in his words – “until I had brought forth all that I felt was within me.”

Beethoven’s final symphony, the ninth, was finished in 1824, long after he had become totally deaf. The famous “Ode to Joy” chorus in the last movement won loud applause from the audience. Beethoven was not aware of this until one of the singers “plucked him by the sleeve and directed his attention to the clapping hands and waving hats and handkerchiefs…he turned to the audience and bowed.” Beethoven died on March 26, 1827 at the age of 56. Thousands attended his funeral.

Beethoven is considered one of the greatest composers in history. In this concert, you will discover Beethoven’s genius, the influence of Haydn and Brahms, and the wonderful musical gifts Beethoven gave us all.

The Man and His Music

Franz Josef Haydn: Surprise Symphony (an early influence on Beethoven’s music)

Beethoven was only 20 years old when he met the already well-regarded composer Franz Josef Haydn. Haydn was very impressed with Beethoven’s compositions and, shortly thereafter, invited him to Bonn, Germany, to be his student. Beethoven was not an easy student. Beethoven’s inability to deal respectfully with authority was never more

apparent than in his lessons with Haydn. Because of the abuse he suffered as a child, Beethhoven had great difficulty dealing with an “authority figure.” At the same time, Haydn was busy with his own compositions and was not the most attentive teacher. But they shared a talent and a passion for music, and Beethoven absorbed some of Papa Haydn’s musical influence. On this concert you will hear an excerpt from Haydn’s Surprise Symphony. (Hold onto your seats – you will be surprised by what you hear!)

Beethoven: Symphony No. 2, FinaleAlthough Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2 sounds cheerful and energetic, it was written during a particularly difficult time in Beethoven’s life. He had come to realize that his hearing was not ever going to get better, and that he would be deaf for the rest of his life – the most cruel fate for a composer. His doctor had suggested he go to the countryside for some rest and relaxation, and here, in the pastoral countryside of Heilegenstadt, filled with despair, he wrote his Symphony No 2, including the rollicking finale which you will hear on this concert.

Beethoven: Symphony No. 5, Movement 1The Fifth Symphony of Beethoven is likely his most famous composition, and contains one of the most familiar phrases in all of classical music. The entire first movement is based on a four-note pattern (short-short-short-LONG) that Beethoven uses in many inventive ways. Listen to how the opening phrase develops masterfully into longer musical “sentences,” the sum of which make up a unified, eloquent essay of a symphony.

Beethoven: Leonore Overture, No. 3Beethoven had difficulty writing just the right overture (opening, or introduction) for his opera, Fidelio. In fact, he wrote four different ones. This was Beethoven’s third try, and is named after the heroine of the opera, Leonore. Fidelio is one of several “rescue operas” that were popular in Beethoven’s time and tells how Leonore outsmarts the evil governor, Pizarro, to save her husband from prison and death. Leonore Overture No. 3, while not used as the official overture for Fidelio, is heard most often.

Beethoven: Symphony No. 8, Movement 2Traditional symphonies typically have four movements, and often the second movement is a slow movement – but not here! Beethoven defied the ‘rules’ at every turn, constantly challenging the ‘traditional’ way of composing, and so his Eighth Symphony has no slow movement. Instead Beethoven has composed a short movement thought to be written in honor of his friend Johann Maelzel, who invented the metronome. You will hear very steady, short, staccato chords in the woodwinds throughout, which sound like the mechanical beat of a metronome. And Beethoven plays with dynamic extremes here too, having the instruments play very loudly then very softly at unexpected points in the music!

Beethoven: Symphony No. 9, FinaleThe fourth movement of Beethoven’s last symphony was unusual because Beethoven chose to add solo singers and a large choir. It is sometimes referred to as “the Choral Symphony.” The words are taken from Schiller’s poem Ode to Joy and speak of joy in the universal brotherhood of man. The musical “joy theme,” which recurs in both the instruments and the voices, is woven with other themes to create one of the most glorious musical works ever written.

Johannes Brahms: Symphony No. 1, FinaleIt's no secret that Romantic composer Johannes Brahms was deeply influenced by Ludwig van Beethoven (A marble bust of the Beethoven was given a place of honor in Brahms' studio.) Although Beethoven died in 1827, five years before Brahms was born, Brahms was considered the Beethoven’s musical heir. On this concert you will hear part of the finale of Brahms’s Symphony No. 1 whose main theme sounds similar to the main

theme of the finale of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Listen to them both and see what you think! In 1876, when Brahms’ work was premiered in Vienna, it was immediately hailed as “Beethoven’s Tenth” (Beethoven only wrote nine symphonies) because of the similar sound.

The Cleveland Orchestra Children’s Chorus (COCC) and Preparatory Choruses (COCPC) are open to students in grades 5-9. Members in both groups build a foundation of skills in leadership, vocal produc-tion, and musicianship, through weekly rehearsals and regular per-formance opportunities. The Chil-dren’s Chorus, founded in 1967 and directed by Ann Usher, performs with The Cleveland Orchestra and Chorus throughout the subscrip-tion and holiday season. The Pre-paratory Chorus, directed by Su-zanne Walters, collaborates with the Children’s Chorus on two inde-pendent concerts each season. For more information please contact the Chorus Office at (216) 231-7374 or chorus@clevelandorchestra.com.

2019-20 marks the 34th season of the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orches-tra, and its second season with Vinay Parameswaran as music director.

During the 2019-20 season, the 100 members of the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra will present three concerts at Severance Hall on Novem-ber 15, 2019, March 1, 2020 (with the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Chorus) and May 3, 2020 .

Youth Orchestra members come from 40 communities across Ohio. It is very possible that someone from your area is in the Youth Orchestra. Most of these talented young musicians have been playing an instrument for at least three years, and some for many more. They became Youth Orchestra members by playing an audition for the music director and members of The Cleveland Orchestra.

The highly acclaimed Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra (COYO) provides a unique pre-professional experience for musicians in middle and high school. Players rehearse weekly and perform in Severance Hall, are directed by a member of The Cleveland Orchestra’s conducting staff, and receive coaching from Cleveland Orchestra musicians. Membership is by competitive auditions held in May. For information, please call the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra at (216) 231-7352 or visit www.ClevelandOrchestraYouthOrchestra.com.
