5ADELAIDE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA SHOWCASE SERIES

Welcome

Anyone lucky enough to have been to the Royal Albert Hall in London would

know that The Proms is a great tradition founded in 1895. The eight-week

summer season hosts a variety of concerts, all informal and inexpensive at

which Promenaders can stand in the central Arena of London’s Royal Albert Hall

and enjoy artists from across the musical spectrum. The biggest music festival of

the world comes to a climax with the Last Night of the Proms.

In Adelaide, the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra has been holding its own

very popular version since 1973.

“Royal Albert Hall the Festival Centre ain’t, but that didn’t staop a packed

house awash with Union Jacks getting into the Proms spirit in a vastly

entertaining tribute to one of the Old Country’s most venerable institutions.”

The Advertiser, 2013

What do you love about the Proms/Last Night of the Proms?I love how during The Proms, so many people take the time to head along and enjoy many concerts of gorgeous classical orchestral music. As for the Last Night of the Proms - what can I say, it is the epitomy of traditional English culture, with playfulness, silliness and patriotism going hand in hand alongside some gorgeous lighter classical music. I adore the tradition and the patriotic, quintessentially English songs that are always done year after year. More than anything, I love how the audience is completely willing to get involved, sing along, laugh, wave flags, and just have a great time.

Have you attended the BBC Proms at Royal Albert Hall?No, I’ve not attended in Royal Albert Hall, but I’ve watched the Last Night of the Proms from Hyde Park and it was absolutely sensational. There was a carnival type atmosphere in the air with lots of flag waving, singing along arm-in-arm style, and general joviality. A really fantastic night.

What is your favourite piece on the program and why?My favourite piece on the program is Rule Britannia! Why? Because EVERYBODY gets to sing along for the chorus! There is nothing so rousing as

hearing a large number of people - audience and chorus - jovially singing along with a magnificent orchestra. It is going to be a lot of fun.

Who is your favourite British performer or group of all time?Without a doubt, The Beatles. I grew up listening to my parents’ vinyl copy of the Beatles’ White Album. I still know every lyric, the song order.. bit of a Beatles tragic actually.

Henry Purcell or Edward Elgar?Ooh, this is a hard one.. If you’d asked me this five years ago I would have said Purcell without a doubt. But now? Yeah, actually probably still Purcell – but the gap is lessening! Maybe in ten years I’ll have changed my mind completely!

Wimbledon or Wembley?Well, that’s easy. Wimbledon. As a lover of English murder mystery shows (and all that country estate tennis playing that goes on in them) and a lover of any game that involves whacking around a ball with a racket or bat, tennis wins without a doubt.

Fish & Chips or Strawberries & Cream?Strawberries and cream. Though both would be ideal.

Aldis Sils Music Director Adelaide Philharmonia Chorus

Band of the South Australia Police

Music Director of the Adelaide Philharmonia Chorus since 2007, Adis is a graduate of the Elder Conservatorium of Music with Honours in Musicology. Aldis has sung with the State Opera of SA Chorus, Adelaide Chamber Singers and other choirs in Adelaide and overseas. He is the Head of Music and Deputy Principal at Marryatville High School, which is renowned for its Special Interest Music Centre.

Aldis has led the Adelaide Philharmonia Chorus (APC) in a diverse choral program including Fauré Requiem, Mozart Requiem, Vivaldi Gloria, Bruckner Mass No 2 in E Minor, Handel’s Israel in Egypt and the Australian premières of Karl Jenkins’ Stella Natalis and James Mulholland’s Missa Romantica.

In January 2013 he led a group of 37 APC choristers to New York to sing Karl Jenkins’ The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace in Carnegie Hall, as part of a massed choir of 180. The Adelaide Philharmonia Chorus sang its own concert of The Armed Man to a standing ovation in Elder Hall on the eve of Anzac Day, 2013, accompanied by a 40-piece orchestra.

Adelaide Philharmonia Chorus wish to acknowledge and thank the Marryatville High School Concert Choir for joining with the APC for the Proms.

South Australia Police is an institution steeped in proud tradition, being the first Police Force in Australia, and one of the oldest in the World. In 1884, fourteen musicians formed a volunteer Brass Band from within the ranks of the Adelaide Metropolitan Foot Police, the first Police Band in Australia. Today, the Band performs over 300 community and Government events annually.

The Concert Band performs a showcase of the Band’s repertoire and actively supports many community events and charities through performances. The Parade Band is synonymous with spectacular marching displays and the finest parade music. Recognised internationally, the Parade Band has featured at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, The Royal Tournament, Musikschau der Nationen and at the Basel Tattoo.

Taking their music to primary schools is the School Beat Band and the Rock Patrol for secondary students, presenting musical instrument information and good community, personal safety, and cyber safety messages tied in with a lighthearted music session.

A variety of engagements is supported by approximately fourteen other ensembles the band forms enabling performances at Vice Regal functions, community and corporate dinners, concerts, as well as entertaining all age groups of the public as required.

Anon. arr. Gordon Jacob (1895-1984)

God Save the Queen

Gordon Jacob’s regal fanfare, performed at the coronation of Elizabeth II, opens this concert celebrating that most popular and enduring of British traditions, the Last Night of the Proms. British music and the monarchy are indelibly linked, and this evening’s concert, as well as featuring popular classics and patriotic songs in true Last Night fashion, begins with two soaring coronation anthems that have since assumed independent concert status.

William Walton (1902-1983)

Crown Imperial

When in 1936 the BBC sought an injection of Elgarian ‘pomp’ for the intended coronation of Edward VIII, they commissioned William Walton, who had just a few years before topped off a successful decade with the oratorio Belshazzar’s Feast. Walton responded with the Crown Imperial march, which accompanied the entrance of Queen Mary, the Queen Mother at the coronation of George VI the following year. Walton lifted the title (and that of his second coronation march, Orb and Sceptre, composed for the coronation of Elizabeth II in 1953) from Act IV of Shakespeare’s Henry V:

I am a king that find thee, and I know ‘Tis not the balm, the sceptre and the ball, The sword, the mace, the crown imperial…

George Frideric Handel (1685-1759)

Zadok the Priest

Britain’s Hanoverian monarchs were keen music-lovers and their tastes extended beyond the purely ceremonial. Handel’s British career flourished under their patronage, with George I a patron of the theatre in Haymarket where many of Handel’s operas were premiered. In 1727, Handel was chosen over Maurice Greene, organist of the Chapel Royal, to compose music for the coronation of George II. One of four anthems Handel composed for the occasion, Zadok the Priest is set to an Old Testament text chronicling the coronation of King Solomon and was sung at the Anointing, as it has been at the coronation of every British sovereign since.

Vincenzo Bellini (1801-1835)

Norma, Act I: Casta Diva

Norma overcame a hostile first-night reception to become one of the greatest bel canto operas. In her Act I cavatina ‘Casta Diva’ (Chaste Goddess), high priestess Norma, having tried to dissuade the Druids

Last Night of the Proms - Program


from rising up against the occupying Romans because of her love for Pollione, prays to the moon goddess for peace.

Ronald Binge (1910-1979)

Sailing By

Along with Eric Coates, Ronald Binge was a leading exponent of light music, a popular orchestral genre that originated between the two world wars and forged the aural identities of many BBC radio programs. Binge began his career as a silent film pianist and went on to become a gifted arranger, contributing heavily to Mantovani’s lush string sound. He is chiefly remembered today for his Elizabethan Serenade and Sailing By, which for many years has heralded the start of BBC Radio 4’s nightly Shipping Forecast.

Karl Jenkins (born 1944)

Exsultate jubilate

Classically trained Welsh composer Karl Jenkins has enjoyed a career that has encompassed rock, jazz and commercial music. Now one of the world’s most frequently performed living composers, he has worked with such artists as Kiri Te Kanawa, Bryn Terfel and Evelyn Glennie. In 2014 Jenkins collaborated with British choral conductor Stephen Layton on an album of motets comprising newly composed pieces alongside re-imaginings of earlier works, including several from his The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace and Adiemus project. Exsultate jubilate is based on Palladio, Jenkins’ instrumental piece

inspired by the 16th-century Italian architect of the same name.

Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868)

The Barber of Seville, Act I: Una voce poco fa

The most successful composer of his day (George IV was a big fan), Rossini wrote 39 operas before retiring from the stage before the age of 40. The reason behind this so-called ‘great renunciation’ has been the subject of musicological debate, with theories ranging from ill-health to the lack of any financial imperative. It’s said that Rossini wrote The Barber of Seville in a matter of weeks. Despite a disastrous premiere in 1816, it went on to become a massive success, with even Beethoven complaining that everyone in Vienna was whistling its hit tunes. In ‘Una voce poco fa’ Rosina, who has been serenaded by Count Almaviva (masquerading as Lindoro), resolves to get her man.


Rossini

William Tell: Overture

Rossini retired after the premiere of this, his last opera. In the second half of the Overture the trumpet fanfare announces the spirited finale, arguably the most famous passage in classical music.

Interval

Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958)

The Wasps: Overture

In 1908 Vaughan Williams was invited by his alma mater Cambridge University to compose incidental music for an undergraduate production of Aristophanes’ The Wasps, a satire on the ancient Greek judicial system. Earlier that year Vaughan Williams had spent time studying with Ravel in Paris, and this influence is apparent, as is his lifelong affinity for folk music.

Edward Elgar (1857-1934)

Nimrod from Variations on an Original Theme, Op 36 Enigma

Is there a composer who better sums up our notions of Britishness than Elgar? Probably not; however the jingoistic fervour that his music inspires (not to mention the moustachioed, country gent image that persists in the popular consciousness) perhaps belies the more complex nature of the man himself and the breadth of his oeuvre. For the composer who is regarded by many as the foremost musical exponent of the heyday of the British Empire was in fact something of an Establishment outsider for much of his earlier life (his later knighthood and appointment as Master of the King’s Music notwithstanding). A Roman Catholic, he was born into a lower-middle-class household, the son of a piano-tuner. Unlike his younger contemporaries such as Vaughan Williams, his influences flowed predominantly from the Austro-German tradition and he had little time for folk music. Nonetheless, Elgar would spearhead the revival of British music and, generations later, his music still has a profound impact upon audiences worldwide.

The work which turned Elgar’s fortunes around, the Enigma Variations were written whilst Elgar eked out a living as a provincial music teacher in his native Malvern region. As he doodled at the piano one evening, he


played around with a theme which he varied to depict the personality traits of his friends and family, among them his wife, the local squire, and his various amateur chamber music collaborators. Variation IX, Nimrod, is a portrait of his friend and publisher A.J. Jaeger (‘Jaeger’ is German for ‘hunter’, and Nimrod is the ‘mighty hunter before the Lord’ of the Book of Genesis). Elgar cryptically stated that the ‘enigma’ was a well-known tune contained within the work, but he never revealed the identity of the theme.

Richard Rodgers (1902-1979) Oscar Hammerstein II (1895-1960)

Carousel: You’ll Never Walk Alone

In the midst of this celebration of Britishness, we cross the Atlantic to the hallowed ground of the Broadway stage. Proving that the English were not alone in their ability to compose stirring anthems, Rodgers and Hammerstein came up with this tear-jerker, sung by Nettie to the pregnant Julie when Billy is killed, and reprised at their daughter’s graduation ceremony at the end of the show. It’s now a Last Night favourite.

Alan Jay Lerner (1918-1986) Frederick Loewe (1901-1988)

My Fair Lady:

Ascot Gavotte

I Could Have Danced All Night

Another winning Broadway team, Lerner and Loewe produced not only My Fair Lady but also Camelot, Paint Your Wagon and Brigadoon. All of these shows were adapted for film, with Audrey Hepburn’s luminous presence and Cecil Beaton’s costumes lighting up the screen in My Fair Lady. The same could not be said for Hepburn’s voice, however – her singing was dubbed by stalwart Marni Nixon.

Henry Wood (1869-1944) arr. Zalva

Fantasia on British Sea Songs

Conductor Sir Henry Wood, who founded the Proms concerts in 1895, composed his Fantasia on British Sea Songs for a 1905 concert commemorating the centenary of the Battle of Trafalgar. He included it in the final concert of the following year’s Proms, establishing the Last Night tradition. The maritime songs in Wood’s medley are of diverse origin, from the traditional sailor’s hornpipe ‘Jack’s the Lad’ to ‘See, the conquering hero comes’, from Handel’s oratorio Judas Maccabaeus. Not to mention, of course, Thomas Arne’s anthem to British naval power, ‘Rule, Britannia!’, as the finale.


(above: ‘The Music Party’ by Mercier shows

Frederick Prince of Wales and his sisters making

music)

Thomas Arne (1710-1778) arr. Sargent

Rule, Britannia!

When in 1740 Frederick, Prince of Wales commissioned a new musical drama to celebrate his infant daughter’s birthday, he turned not to Handel, London’s foremost composer, but to Handel’s rival in the theatre, Thomas Arne. Rule, Britannia! formed part of the finale of Arne’s masque honouring the Anglo-Saxon king Alfred the Great – a subject that fitted perfectly with Frederick’s political ambitions.

Charles Hubert Parry (1848-1918) orch. Elgar

Jerusalem

London’s Royal College of Music was founded in 1882 under Edward VII (then Prince of Wales) with the aim of creating

a national music school similar to the established conservatories of Europe. An important name in the renaissance of British music at the turn of the last century, Hubert Parry succeeded Sir George Grove as head of the RCM, where his students included Ralph Vaughan Williams, Gustav Holst and Frank Bridge. Steeped in the English choral tradition, he is chiefly remembered for his coronation anthem I was glad and of course, Jerusalem, his 1916 setting of Blake’s famous poem.

Santos and the ASO – great South Australian performersFor sixteen seasons Santos and the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra have partnered together to deliver outstanding performances to audiences across South Australia. This proud tradition continues in 2015.

With our head office here in Adelaide, Santos has been part of South Australia for over 60 years.

We search Australia to find gas and oil to help provide energy to our nation. But we also put our energy into supporting the communities in which we live and work.

Each year Santos supports a wide range of community events and organisations across South Australia.

By 2017, this support will add up to $60m over a ten-year period.

At Santos, we believe that contributing to a vibrant culture is good for everyone. We don’t just look for energy - we help create it.

Proudly working in partnership
