WelcomeDear Friends,
The exciting times continue for your Boulder Philharmonic in 2016we follow our opening night live broadcast on Colorado Public Radio with a second one this spring. We make use of a prestigious grant from New Music USA and celebrate our first-ever award from the National Endowment for the Arts. And, of course, we begin preparations to bring our unique approach to programming and community engagement to the Kennedy Center for their inaugural SHIFT Festival in 2017!
This fall featured exciting collaborations with pianist Gabriela Montero, concertmaster Charles Wetherbee, composer Charles Denler, photographer John Fielder, the Boulder Chorale, singer Josh Ritter, a new production of The Nutcracker, and three performances of our popular Christmas with the Phil. Our steadily increasing sales numbers suggest that we continue to broaden our appeal and audience base by embracing the spirit of what makes our community special.
In the new year, we look forward to a second collaboration with our friends at Boulder Ballet in Coplands iconic Rodeo. We welcome world-renowned violinist Anne Akiko Meyers and cutting edge composer Missy Mazzoli (Brooklyns post-millennial Mozart) for a week-long residency in February. The sensational performers of Cirque de la Symphonie return in April for two performances, and our season reaches a stirring culmination with Boulder and Denver performances of Bachs immortal St. Matthew Passion in a dramatic staged setting presented in collaboration with Central City Opera, the Boulder Bach Festival and the CU College of Music. We continue to expand the breadth and depth of our educational efforts, as we add a second performance of our annual Discovery Concert for elementary school students, preceded by school visits from Boulder Phil musicians and me.
All year long, we can count on our superb musicians to deliver polished and impassioned performances. We simply love what we do. Playing for enthusiastic audiences in a beautiful hall in one of the most remarkable communities in the country is a great privilege, and we thank you for making us your orchestra!
Enjoy,
Michael

Were on our way! Thanks to your support, we are on
track for a record-setting 2015-2016 season in numerous respects. This past fall, we achieved yet another record for season subscribers, multiple sold-out performances, our highest ever ticket sales for The Nutcracker with Boulder Ballet, and a record number of supporters on Colorado Gives Day!
And our accolades beyond Boulder continue to accumulate. We were selected to open Colorado Public Radios live broadcast series this season, and we were one of only two orchestras nationally to be awarded a prestigious Imagine Your Parks grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
As we gear up for our 2016-2017 season which promises to be one of the most eventful in Boulders cultural history we invite you to join us on our journey. Join us as we reinvent what is possible for American orchestras today, and help us discover new ways to connect with our audiences and our community.

About the Boulder PhilAs one of Colorados premier
ensembles, the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra is creating a new model for American orchestras through dynamic performances that reflect our communitys own values, creativity, and sense of place. Voted Best of Boulder yet again in 2015, todays Boulder Phil is bucking national trends with growing, enthusiastic audiences under the vision and leadership of Music Director Michael Butterman.
The Boulder Phils main concert seriesbroadcast state-wide on Colorado Public Radiois presented at Macky Auditorium, a historic jewel on the University of Colorado campus. From multi-genre productions featuring dance, choral and visual elements to concerts with a unique hometown flavor, the Phils imaginative programming has resulted in increasing numbers of sold-out concerts and nationwide notice in Symphony Magazine. In recent seasons the Phil has collaborated with an impressive 45 local organizations, encompassing arts, science, nature, youth, social services and more. By going beyond simply performing great music, we strive to connect ever more people to the inspiring power of orchestral music.
Recognized as Boulders premier orchestra (Boulder Weekly), the Boulder Phil is comprised of the top freelance musicians from Colorados Front Range and beyond. Founded in 1958, the Boulder Phil became a fully professional ensemble under the leadership of Theodore Kuchar, whose tenure as music director began in 1996. Today the Boulder Phil reaches audiences of over 20,000, with performances from Arvada to Highlands Ranch as well as regular invitations to perform at the prestigious Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek.
The Boulder Phil strives to inspire the next generation of music-lovers through Discovery Concerts that have reached thousands of 4th and 5th grade students in 28 schools across three counties. For decades the Phil has also fostered new talent with the annual Young Artist Concerto Competition, and Boulder Phil musicians provide mentorship through side-by-side concerts with the Greater Boulder Youth Orchestras and Front Range Youth Orchestras. In all these ways, the Boulder Phil strives to be at the center of our communitys cultural fabric.

Michael Butterman, ConductorMaking his mark as a model for todays
conductors, Michael Butterman is recognized for his commitment to creative artistry, innovative programming, and to audience and community engagement. He serves as Music Director for the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra, with whom he will appear at the Kennedy Centers inaugural SHIFT Festival in 2017. He is also the Music Director of the Shreveport Symphony Orchestra and the Pennsylvania Philharmonic, as well as the Resident Conductor of the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra. In addition, he is in his 16th season as Principal Conductor for Education and Community Engagement for the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, the first position of its kind in the United States.
As a guest conductor, Mr. Butterman makes his debut with both the Philadelphia Orchestra and the National Symphony Orchestra in the 15-16 season. His recent appearance with the Cleveland Orchestra resulted in immediate reengagement for two concerts the following season. Other recent appearances include performances with the Detroit Symphony, Houston Symphony, Colorado Symphony, Oregon Symphony, Phoenix Symphony, Kansas City Symphony, Colorado Music Festival Orchestra, Charleston Symphony, Hartford Symphony, San Antonio Symphony, Syracuse Symphony, New Mexico Symphony, Santa Fe Symphony, California Symphony, Louisiana Philharmonic, Spokane Symphony, El Paso Symphony, Mobile Symphony, Winston-Salem Symphony, Pensacola Opera, Asheville Lyric Opera and Canadas Victoria Symphony. Summer appearances include Tanglewood, the Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival and the Wintergreen Music Festival in Virginia.
Mr. Butterman gained international attention as a diploma laureate in the Prokofiev International Conducting Competition and as a finalist in the prestigious Besanon International Conducting Competition. As the recipient of the Seiji Ozawa Fellowship, he studied at Tanglewood with Robert Spano, Jorma Panula, and Maestro Ozawa, and shared the podium with Ozawa to lead the seasons opening concert. Earlier, Mr. Butterman was sponsored by UNESCO to lead the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Moldova in a concert of music by great American masters.
For six seasons, Mr. Butterman served as Music Director of Opera Southwest in Albuquerque, NM. During much of that time, he was also Director of Orchestral Studies at the LSU School of Music and was Principal Conductor of the LSU Opera Theater. Previously, he held the post of Associate Conductor of the Columbus Pro Musica Orchestra, and served as Music Director of the Chamber Opera, Studio Opera, and Opera Workshop at the Indiana University School of Music. For two seasons, he was also the Associate Music Director of the Ohio Light Opera, conducting over 35 performances each summer.
At Indiana University, Mr. Butterman conducted a highly acclaimed production of Leonard Bernsteins little-known 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in a series of performances at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, receiving unanimous praise from such publications as The New York Times, Washington Post, Variety, and USA Today. He was subsequently invited to New York at the request of the Bernstein estate to prepare a performance of a revised version of the work.
Michael Buttermans work has been featured in five nationwide broadcasts on public radios Performance Today, and can be heard on two CDs recorded for the Newport Classics label and on a new disc in which he conducts the Rochester Philharmonic and collaborates with actor John Lithgow.

EXPERIENCES
Thank you for doing such a terrific job selling my home. You advertised it well, negotiated a top selling price and you followed through like a true professional. To say the least I was extremely impressed with the results you produced! an outstandingRealtor and a great guy. Jimmy Calano
We still have not forgotten the conscientious and professional service you gave us as the listing broker. After having the house listed for over six months with one of your competitors and never hearing from him, it was a pleasant surprise to get periodic updates from you and to ultimately hear that you had a Buyer. Frank Pool
You not only sold my property but, you also got the highest price paid on any comparable unit during the last two years. Your professional assistance and continuous monitoring of the situation was of the highest quality I have seen since my employment with the Lomas and Nettleton Banking Company. Eric A. Conger
Gary seems to have a remarkable ability to work with people. He was able to buoy up my spirits at a time that I was feeling rather discouraged about selling my place. I appreciated his relaxed manner and his enthusiasm, as well as the patience with which he explained the listing contract and finally the sales contract. Maris Whitaker
Gary Hillman achieved the impossible! I had a home to sell that needed work. Gary gave me excellent advice about the local situation and about how to fix it up and then sold it within 40 hours of it being listed. Aline Chipman Brandauer
Garys performance thru the process of listing, showing and selling the property was very professional. He was candid in his assessment of market conditions, prompt and accurate in providing information we requested & attentive to our needs. David McInerney
We believe that your services were above and beyond the call of duty. You also communicated with us on a regular basis, as you said you would, about the status of your marketing efforts, and with suggestions to enhance the saleability of the property. We certainly would offer you our highest recommendation should the need arise. Roger Miller,
It was only through your persistence & hard work that resulted in the sale of my property at the best possible market value. Having worked with a number of real estate agents in various parts of the country where I have lived or owned property, you have been one of the most effective and results oriented professionals that I have come across in your line of work. Demetrios Lignos
What others say... "...Gary Hillman is the most professional & well-informed Realtor that I have workedwith over the years. His professionalism and integrity are unsurpassed. I have owned RE in New York, Maui, Littleton, Westminster & Boulder. In all of these circumstances, Gary Hillman stands head and shoulders above all other Realtors with whom I have worked."
What others say..."As a lawyer practicing in Boulder for 10 years, I have worked with dozens of Realtorsin many different types of real estate transactions. You are without a doubt the finest Realtor in Boulder"

William Billings (1746-1800), though still not well known in his native land, is an important figure in the history of American music. His works reflect better perhaps than any others the rugged spirit, religious faith, and patriotic fervor of the Revolutionary War period. Despite some technical shortcomings, his music is impressive even today. William Schuman once said, I am not alone among American composers who feel an identity with Billings and it is this sense of identity which accounts for my use of his music as a point of departure.
As Schuman points out, the three parts of his work do not constitute a fantasy on themes of Billings, nor variations on his themes, but rather a fusion of style and musical language.
I. BE GLAD, THEN, AMERICA. This section is based on an anthem by Billings which includes the following lines:
Yea, the Lord will answerAnd say unto his people behold!I will send you corn and wine and oilAnd ye shall be satisfied therewith.
Be glad, then, America,Shout and rejoice,Fear not, O land,Be glad and rejoice.Hallelujah!
There is a strong introduction, beginning with solo timpani and developed chiefly in the strings. The main section opens in the trombones and trumpets, reflecting the words, Be glad, then, America, shout and rejoice. Timpani, played solo, also lead to a fugal section, expressing And we shall be satisfied. After a combination of themes built up to a climax, we hear a free adaptation of the Hallelujah music from the original Billings score and a closing reference to the Shout and rejoice music.
II. WHEN JESUS WEPTWhen Jesus wept the falling tearIn mercy flowed beyond all boundsWhen Jesus groaned, a trembling fearSeized all the guilty world around.
Here the music of Billings is used both in its original form and in Schumans melodic and
contrapuntal settings. The text is adapted to the musical form of a round.
III. CHESTER. Billings composed this music as a hymn, and the Continental Army later adopted the music and words for use as a marching song. Schumans score reflects the spirit both of the hymn and march.
The following is a selection from the words of the marching song:
Let tyrants shake their iron rods,And slavery clank her galling chains,We fear them not, we trust in God.New Englands God forever reigns.
The foe comes on with haughty stride,Our troops advance with martial noise,Their vetrans flee before our youth,And genrals yield to beardless boys.

LEONARD BERNSTEIN (1918-1990)Symphonic Dances from West Side Story
An American composer of Russian-Jewish parentage, Leonard Bernstein worked his way from a middle-class suburb of Boston to become Americas greatest musical figure. Equally adept as a pianist, conductor, teacher, and composer, Bernstein became Americas ambassador of music. Before his successes, students were often turned away from study in the great European music conservatories because they were American and, therefore, incapable of artistic ability. Such was the opinion in Europe. In short, it was Leonard Bernstein who made it acceptable for a world-class musician to be American.
In any given concert season, new music comes and goes. Regardless of the genre, audiences have a way of filtering new works into one of two categories those they approve, and those they reject. There has probably been no work in the past fifty years that has enjoyed more adulation than Leonard Bernsteins West Side Story, a Broadway musical that transcended its genre.
Conceived in 1949, West Side Story was a miraculous collaboration by three artists perfectly suited to work together composer Leonard Bernstein, playwright Arthur Laurents, and lyricist Stephen Sondheim. Their task was simple, at least in concept write an update of Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet, featuring
Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra 2015-2016 Program 3
Programethnic rivalry between street gangs, consisting of native New Yorkers fighting against Puerto Rican immigrants. Foreshadowing the civil rights struggles of the late 1950s and 1960s, the show boasts musical numbers ranging from the light and airy I Feel Pretty to the vehement A Boy Like That. Jerome Robbins choreographed the dancing street gangs. Opening to mixed reviews on September 26, 1957, the show played 732 performances, closing on June 27, 1959, less than two years after opening. Only after a tour and subsequent productions in New York and other large cities did West Side Story attain any semblance of stature. The 1961 film version, shot on location in New Yorks Upper West Side, near the site of Lincoln Center, won eleven Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Finally, success had come to this most innovative musical.
Bernsteins Symphonic Dances from West Side Story dates from 1961. With the popularity of the film, Bernstein decided that extracting a suite from the numerous dance sequences would be a logical step. He hired Sid Ramin and Irwin Kostal, orchestrators of the film version of Bernsteins score. The Symphonic Dances outlines the plays action, but does not present the excerpts in chronological order. Opening with the anxious Prologue, the work progresses through the hopeful Somewhere; a lively Scherzo; the Caribbean-tinged Mambo; a Cha-Cha based on the song Maria; the seething and abstract Cool fugue; the rhythmically charged Rumble; and the resigned tragedy of the finale.

AARON COPLAND (1900-1990)Suite from the Ballet Billy the Kid
In 1938, the noted ballet impresario Lincoln Kirstein commissioned Aaron Copland to write a new work for his Ballet Caravan, a company that toured the country and took ballet to many places that would not otherwise have experienced the art of dance. Kirstein envisioned a work based on the American West. The subject would be Billy the Kid.
The notorious cowboy-killer, Billy the Kid, was William Bonney, who was born in New York City at the close of the Civil War and, in childhood, moved west with his parents. He killed his first man at the age of twelve, supposedly to avenge the killing of his mother. Before he reached the age of twenty-one he
had shot a man for each year of his life. A handsome man, and at times a courteous man, a fine dancer, and a great favorite of Mexican girls and ranchers daughters, Billy could never submit to the rule of law. When his friend, Pat Garrett, became a sheriff, Billy knew that one of them must die. After a number of captures and escapes, he was ambushed by Garrett while asleep in the home of his Mexican sweetheart.
Coplands ballet suite for orchestra, extracted in 1940, is in seven episodes. The Open Prairie is an orchestral portrait of the vast and empty plains, with a sauntering pace and prominent woodwind parts. The second episode, Street in a Frontier Town, recreates the spirit of the pioneer West. Cowboys mosey into town. Mexican women dance a Jarabe, interrupted by a fight between drunk men. The music is colorful, lively, and at times agitated.
Prairie Night (Card Game) is a quiet interlude. An atmospheric melody for woodwinds and muted strings depicts Billy and his outlaw friends quietly playing cards under the stars.
In the fourth movement, Gun Battle, crashing drums and dramatic music for winds accompany the capture of Billy.
Celebration (After Billys Capture) used phrases from authentic cowboy songs. The music begins quietly, but happily. Eventually a drunken brawl erupts.
The sixth movement is entitled Billys Death. In a short but sorrowful episode, Mexican women lament the passing of their hero, an enemy of law and order in the Wild West but always a friend to them. Coplands suite ends with an epilogue, The Open Prairie Again, and a return to the initial theme in the horns. The work culminates in a stirring climax for full orchestra.
Copland quotes from familiar cowboy songs with great ingenuity but never literally. Expect to hear Git Along Little Dogies, Old Chisholm Trail, Goodbye, Old Paint, and others. However, he does not refer to Home on the Range, because, as Copland explained with his usual succinctness, I had to draw the line somewhere.

AARON COPLAND (1900-1990)Rodeo: Ballet in One Act
Described by Leonard Bernstein as the Dean of American Music, Aaron Copland
Program 4 Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra 2015-2016
Programdelighted in his role as its elder statesman in the later years of his life. Before launching his compositional career with the resounding flourish of his Organ Symphony in a 1925 New York concert, he had studied at the American Conservatory at Fontainebleau in Paris. Among the distinguished faculty, noted
pedagogue Nadia Boulangers reputation stood out above all others, teaching generations of American composers from Copland to Philip Glass. Copland enjoyed a reputation as a renegade among composers, using harmonies that were often dissonant and abrasive.
In the late 1930s, the composer began to face the reality of shrinking audiences at orchestral concerts. He knew there must be a way to draw people back into the concert hall and to energize orchestral music. Coplands new simple style, which often quoted folk music, uses an approachable musical language in an effort to remedy the problem. He often incorporated jazz-inspired rhythms and elements of popular music to express his ideas, while drawing listeners closer to his music.
On the heels of his enormously popular 1938 ballet Billy the Kid, Copland was ready to compose more works for the dance. In 1942, dancer/choreographer Agnes DeMille asked the composer to provide music for a cowboy ballet she had been hired to choreograph for the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, an offshoot of the Ballets Russes the legendary ensemble for which Stravinsky composed The Rite of Spring. Copland demurred, saying that he had already composed his cowboy ballet and would rather write on a different subject. However, DeMilles argument was convincing and Copland agreed to write the score for $1000. As in Billy the Kid, his use of traditional western ballads and fiddle tunes is extensive, drawn here from musicologist Alan Lomaxs songbook Our Singing Country.
Originally entitled The Courting at Burnt Ranch, its name was shortened to Rodeo (pronounced as in Spanish with emphasis on the second syllable, as in Rodeo Drive). Premiering at New Yorks Metropolitan Opera House, the ballet was a rousing success. As is often the case, the composer decided to extract a ballet suite for performance on orchestra programs, thereby gaining a much more widespread audience for his music. Coplands editing was quite sparing, as only six minutes, mainly interludes, were trimmed from the original twenty-four minute ballet.
The first movement, Buckaroo Holiday, is boisterous and energetic, and features an extensive trombone solo that is both comical and delightful. Representing the opening action of the ballet, it sets the tone for the remainder of the work. Corral Nocturne follows with its quiet stillness reminiscent of the Western night sky. Saturday Night Waltz reflects the clumsy

PROGRAM NOTES
MISSY MAZZOLI (b. 1980)Sinfonia (for Orbiting Spheres)
Sinfonia (for Orbiting Spheres) is music in the shape of a solar system, a collection of rococo loops that twist around each other within a larger orbit. The word sinfonia refers to baroque works for orchestra but also to the old Italian term for a hurdy-gurdy, a medieval stringed instrument with constant, wheezing drones that are cranked out under melodies played on an attached keyboard. The three movements of this piece, played without pause,

Programchurn and roil through a series of fast-changing moods and tempi. Over the course of fourteen minutes the orchestra is transformed into a makeshift hurdy-gurdy, flung recklessly into space. Sinfonia (for Orbiting Spheres) was originally composed for chamber orchestra and was commissioned and premiered by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, conducted by John Adams. The Boulder Philharmonic will perform the world premiere of a new arrangement for full orchestra, as part of composer Missy Mazzolis Music Alive: New Partnerships residency.

DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH (1906-1975)Symphony No. 9 in E-flat major, Op. 70
The infamous Soviet leader Joseph Stalin sought to control all aspects of Russian society during his reign from 1922 to 1953. He demanded a new Russia that embraced conservative and nationalistic principles. Anything that was not aligned with his carefully-proscribed doctrine was viewed as anti-Soviet. Most of Stalins enemies were simply eliminated. Nowhere was this more noticeable than in the Great Purge that began in 1934, during which the Party expelled those they viewed as opportunists and infiltrators. Before Stalins death in 1953 slowed the bloodshed, over 700,000 people had been killed and millions of others had been sent to forced labor camps in Siberia.
After Dmitri Shostakovich ran afoul of Stalin with the opera Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District, the composers life was changed forever. He was labeled an Enemy of the People and his works were banned. In an attempt to regain his career, most historians believe that Shostakovich feigned repentance by subtitling his 1937 Fifth Symphony An Artists Reply to Just Criticism. Filled with grandiose flourishes, the symphony served its purpose and Shostakovich was taken back into the fold. All things considered, Shostakovich was lucky since he was allowed to live, unlike thousands of other artists, composers, and creative figures who were killed during Stalins purges.
After the incident in the 1930s, his music became bold in the face of adversity, proving that the Soviet government could not break the spirit of one of their greatest composers. Shostakovich was careful not to reveal the true meanings of his newest works, keeping some of them secretly locked away until late in life. Shostakovichs five-movement Ninth Symphony was composed in 1945. Originally intended as a grandiose work for chorus, vocal soloists, and orchestra to celebrate the surrender of the Germans at the end of World War II, the symphonys scope changed drastically before it was completed. The final result is best described as neo-classical in its approach or, to use Shostakovichs words, a joyful little piece. The last word belonged to the composer, who confessed a few years before his death:
I doubt that Stalin ever questioned his own genius or greatness Everyone always praised Stalin, and now I was supposed to join in this unholy affair. There was an appropriate excuse. We had ended the war victoriously; no matter the cost, the important thing was that we won, the empire had expanded. And they demanded that Shostakovich use quadruple winds, choir and soloists to hail the leader Stalin assumed that the symphony in his honor would be a quality piece of music. He would be able to say There it is, our national Ninth.
I confess that I gave hope to the leader and teachers dreams. I announced that I was writing an apotheosis. I was trying to get them off my back, but it turned against me. When my Ninth was performed, Stalin was incensed. He was deeply offended, because there was no chorus, no soloists. And no apotheosis. There wasnt even a paltry dedication. It was just music, which Stalin didnt understand very well and which was of dubious content. I couldnt write an apotheosis for Stalin, I simply couldnt. I knew what I was in for when I wrote the Ninth.
Shostakovichs first movement, marked allegro, begins in a pseudo-classical-period style, reminiscent of Prokovievs Classical Symphony. However, Shostakovichs brand of satiric biting wit is ever-present. A second theme for piccolo solo is delightful in its
Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra 2015-2016 Program 11
Programcarnival atmosphere, accompanied by snare drum and a boorish trombone. A compact development section leads to a rather creative recapitulation in which the order of themes is reversed and the former piccolo solo becomes a delightful turn for the concertmaster.
The moderato second movement begins with an extended melody for solo clarinet over a tense accompaniment by pizzicato strings. A second clarinet enters, and then other woodwinds join until Shostakovich conjures a dreamy atmosphere. A central section for strings provides contrast, but tension builds until the opening theme returns, this time played by a solo flute. Themes pass through the orchestra before the movement ends with a whisper.
Bold and aggressive, the presto third movement is a showpiece for orchestra. Woodwind runs at the beginning set the stage for a feeling of strife that always seems to be hiding just below the surface of this three-minute test of virtuosity. Puzzlingly, the ending seems to lose its steam and acts as a transition to the equally short largo fourth movement. Opening with a threatening brass fanfare, the movement soon gives way to high bassoon solo, almost like an operatic recitative in its style.
Shostakovichs finale is divided into two parts. The beginning allegretto is really a continuation of the bassoon solo, but at a quicker tempo and with the return of the composers tongue-in-cheek sensibility. As the movement progresses, the tempo becomes a quick allegro that first takes up the bassoon theme, but soon moves to other areas. Shostakovich provides ample opportunities for all sections of the orchestra to be in the spotlight. A tightly-wrought development returns to the bassoon theme, fragmenting and scattering it all over the ensemble. Finally it returns in a mock-martial setting played by the low brass, passing through variations in the trumpets, and is finally transformed into a breathlessly rapid coda for the full orchestra.

to the court. When the Russian Musical Society was formed in 1859 to bring concert music to the public, young composers discovered new opportunities. Entertainment and art, formerly confined to aristocratic salons, were now accessible to the public. Music classes and learning institutions offered instruction to students of all skill levels. One of the most notable schools was the St. Petersburg Conservatory, which opened in 1862 with Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky as one of its first students.
Mily Balakirev, most memorable as a member of the composers collective called the Russian Five, became a close friend of Tchaikovsky. It was largely through Balakirevs informal tutelage that Tchaikovsky began to shape a distinct musical voice. His early works were far from seamless and often rambled on with no discernible direction. Over the next decade, Tchaikovsky developed into one of western musics undisputed masters.
After the success of his Suite No. 1 in 1878, Tchaikovsky went on to compose three more over the next decade. The final suite is subtitled Mozartiana and is a reworking of four short pieces by the Viennese master. The original idea came in 1884, but several other projects and the usual bouts of self-doubt delayed the project until the summer of 1887.
The first movement is based on Mozarts Gigue, K. 574. As the movement proceeds, the cross-rhythms those charming little ambiguities become more pronounced in the orchestral arrangement than they were in Mozarts original.
Mozarts Minuet in D, K. 355, follows as the second movement. The sumptuous string writing here is anachronistic to Mozarts time, but this feature makes it even more interesting. This is far from the heavy-footed minuets of the late eighteenth century.
The third movement, entitled Preghiera (Prayer), is based on the famous Ave verum corpus, K. 618. Composed as a choral piece, the work was known to Tchaikovsky through Franz Liszts piano paraphrase one of many virtuoso treatments Liszt did of music by other composers.
Although it is not heard on this program, the finale is an arrangement of Mozarts Variations for Piano, K. 455, which uses an aria by Christoph Willibald Gluck as its theme.

FELIX MENDELSSOHN (1809-1847)Concerto in E Minor for Violin and Orchestra, Op.64
The most intensely Romantic music is often represented as having been written by composers whose personal lives were fraught with misfortune. Any number of Romantic composers may be plugged into a similar formula and, in a few cases, the paradigm even holds true but not in the case of Felix Mendelssohn.
Coming from a wealthy family, Mendelssohn had no financial worries. Felix, along with his sister Fanny, received the best musical education money could buy. As an adult, the composers personal life was the model of domestic bliss with his joyful marriage to Cecile Jeanrenaud. An undisputed giant in Europes musical community, Mendelssohn was much sought-after as both composer and conductor. Every aspect of his life was nearly perfect, but such a shining star could only burn out quickly. Mendelssohn died at the age of thirty-eight, probably from a stroke the same malady that killed Fanny a year before.
Mendelssohns Violin Concerto in E minor is a late work, dating from the end of 1844. By
1835 he had resolved to compose a work for his friend, the virtuoso violinist Ferdinand David. However, the composers many conducting obligations and extensive travels forced him to shelve the project for nine years.
The resulting work is a gem of the solo repertoire. Opening immediately with the soloist and completely foregoing the customary orchestral exposition, the piece begins with a charming melody that has become the signature of this concerto. Traditionally cast in sonata form, the movement shows Mendelssohns expertise at paring down the orchestral fabric, allowing smaller groups of instruments to accompany the soloist. The first movement is fused to the second by a single sustained note in the bassoon, leading to a lyrical Andante theme. In this middle movement, Mendelssohn skillfully exploits the legato capabilities of the violin while accompanying these passages with multiple stops of considerable difficulty all played simultaneously by the soloist. The finale is a brilliant and elegant romp a clear gesture of homage to the virtuoso tradition of solo violinists.
