 A LETTER FROM MAESTRO DANIEL W. BOOTHE

Dear Symphonicity Patrons,

“Love was changing the mind of pretenders while chasing the clouds
away. Our hearts were ringing in the key that our souls were singing.”
Those are lyrics penned by American singer, musician, songwriter and
record producer, Maurice White, best known for his work with the band
Earth, Wind & Fire.

Those words also describe our intentions as we present a journey through

spectacular symphonic sounds, both new and warmly familiar. Each
concert will connect to the very elements of the natural world and our
humanity.

There seems to be a need for healing both of our planet and of our spirits.
“I see our music as medicine,” said Maurice White. In a similar way, it is our
hope that our generously volunteered talents combined with your vital
support will fulfill a deep community need from the inside out.

Something for everyone can be found in our lineup to include an electric

guitar concerto with a GRAMMY-winning artist, to the timeless truths
found in Tchaikovsky and Haydn. Diversity will shine through wonderfully
varied backgrounds of our soloists, composers and musical styles.
Uplifting messages will be heard as in Earthrise by Adolphus Hailstork or
by the nightingale in Respighi’s Pines of Rome. The season pops finale will
sparkle to the words: “As we danced in the night, remember how the stars
stole the night away.”

The stars are on stage…in front of you, beside you and behind you.
Together we make, share and support this powerful performance art
because of what we love. And as Stravinsky said, “What force is more
potent than love?”

We love that you are here and hope that you will come back with your
friends! Thank you for your support in this special Earth, Wind & Fire
season.

A Festive Violet Pulse

Nancy Galbraith (b. 1951) has been composing music since the late
1970's, creating instrumental and vocal sound praised for its rich
harmonic texture, rhythmic vitality, emotional and spiritual depth, and
wide range of expression. With major contributions to the repertoires
of symphony orchestras, concert choirs, wind ensembles, chamber
ensembles, and soloists, Galbraith plays a leading role in defining the
sound of American contemporary classical music. Galbraith resides
in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where she is Chair of Composition at the
Carnegie Mellon University School of Music, and holds the Vira I Heinz
Professorship of Music endowed chair. She is published by Subito Music.

"A Festive Violet Pulse '' opens with lively textures in the woodwinds
which are used as accompaniment for a melodic statement in the
violins. This melody is answered contrapuntally by the celli, and
develops into a web of repeated melodic phrases. The middle section
is very rhythmic, highlighting the percussion section and making use of
many polyrhtyhms. A soft tremolo begins to emerge in the strings and
gradually evolves into the foreground material. A repeated note theme
enters in the celli and is answered sequentially by each string section.
A strong statement of the original theme in the trumpets and violins
climaxes the movement.

–Nancy Galbraith

Nights in the Gardens of Spain

Nights in the Gardens of Spain (Spanish: Noches en los jardines de Es-

paña), G. 49, is a piece of music by the Spanish composer Manuel de Falla.
Falla was Andalusian and the work refers to the Hispano-Arabic past of
this region (Al-Andalus).

Falla began this work as a set of nocturnes for solo piano in 1909, but
on the suggestion of the pianist Ricardo Viñes he turned the nocturnes
into a piece for piano and orchestra. Falla completed it in 1915 and ded-
icated it to Viñes. However the pianist at the first performance was nei-
ther Viñes nor Falla (who was a skilled pianist), but José Cubiles. The first
performance was given on April 9, 1916, at Madrid's Teatro Real, with the
Orquesta Sinfónica de Madrid conducted by Enrique Fernández Arbós.
Viñes first played the work in its San Sebastián premiere, shortly after
the world premiere, with the same orchestra. Arthur Rubinstein was in

8 Earth, Wind & Fire

Program Notes
the audience that night, and he introduced the work to Buenos Aires. The
Paris premiere took place in January 1920, with the pianist Joaquín Nin
playing under Fernández Arbós. The composer himself was the soloist at
the London premiere in 1921, at a Queen's Hall concert under the baton of
Edward Clark.

The work depicts three gardens:

• En el Generalife (In the Generalife): The first gardens are in the

Generalife, the jasmine-scented gardens surrounding the Alhambra.

• Danza lejana (A Distant Dance): The second garden is an

unidentified distant one in which there is an exotic dance.

• En los jardines de la Sierra de Córdoba (In the Gardens of the

Sierra de Córdoba): The third set of gardens are in the
Sierra de Córdoba.

The score calls for piano, three flutes and piccolo, two oboes and English
horn, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trom-
bones and tuba, timpani, cymbals, triangle, celesta, harp, and strings.
Performances usually run in the range of 22 to 26 minutes.

Pines of Rome

Pines of Rome is cast into four movements, all using the conceit of pine
trees that happen to be growing by various evocative Roman locations
to tie everything together.

The first movement, “Pines of the Villa Borghese,” is a sparkling, lilt-

ing evocation of children playing on a Sunday morning, madly dashing
about, full of youthful delight. The Villa Borghese is one of the largest
public gardens in Rome, built in the informal English garden style, con-
taining spectacular plantings, lakes, pathways, and buildings. It has long
been a favorite with tourists and natives alike, and Respighi conjures up
a bright musical context that depicts the cheerful setting. It abruptly
ends, though, as we enter the dark world of a catacomb.

The second movement (“Pines Near a Catacomb”) is set in the malarial

region of the Roman campagna, abandoned in ancient times, but with
extraordinary stark beauty. The ominous, dark atmosphere of the burial

Masterworks IV - Pines of Rome 9

 notes beneath them, don the garb of priests as they solemnly chant the
melodies of the dead. The gloom is then broken by a shimmering solo
trumpet, offstage in a lonely elegy. The chanting soon returns, building
to a huge climax, more affirmatively, perhaps alluding to triumph over
death. All soon dies down (no pun intended), as the brass returns to a
crepuscular chant.

The [third movement] “Pines of the Janiculum” is a tranquil visit at night

to the prominent hill west of Rome where St. Peter is popularly thought
to have been crucified, and which is now the site of a number of univer-
sities, colleges, and academies. It offers a spectacular view of Rome,
and is named after the Roman god, Janus, who famously looked simulta-
neously in two opposite directions: the past and the future. This move-
ment is a nocturne, opened by the gong and piano, introducing various
woodwind solos that quietly evoke the moon on the pines. Apparently,
a nightingale is perched in one of them, for as the music gradually fades
away in trills, his song is faintly heard.

[In movement four] the nightingale is chased away, and the mood is
ominously broken by the distant tread of the Roman Legions on the Ap-
pian Way (“Pines of the Appian Way”), beginning far off, perhaps in the
morning mist, as they grow inexorably closer. A sinuous solo in the En-
glish horn adds a bit of mystery. Fanfares are heard, both in the orches-
tra and in the off-stage band that portrays the ancient Roman buccine—
the large circular horns familiar from Roman mosaics. Everyone in the
orchestra gradually joins in as the Legions march closer, and the music
grows inevitably to a paroxysm of aural grandeur. It’s one of the most
impressive moments in orchestral sound, and never fails to please.

–Wm. E. Runyan

10 Earth, Wind & Fire

 When pianist Clare Longendyke interprets
Haydn, she brings the composer’s dancing
GUEST SOLOIST jubilation and playful sense of humor to life.
CLARE LONGENDYKE When she performs Debussy’s music, her
textural layering, shimmering filigree, and
flexible timing paint a vivid musical story.
And when she performs the music of today’s
living composers, her approach embrac-
es the rich history of the piano’s past while
shining light onto what is novel and pioneer-
ing. Clare Longendyke’s artistry is defined
by her relentless pursuit of the quintessen-
tial sound and character for every piece,
combined with an honest and sincere inter-
pretation of the composer’s intentions from
her individual perspective.

Clare radiates a contagious commitment to

the music of our time, and her programming
celebrates works by favorite composers of
the past—Robert and Clara Schumann, Bee-
thoven, and Ravel, to name a few—while cre-

ating space for those that are paving the way towards classical music’s
more inclusive future. One of the highlights of her career has been to
work with living composers to commission solo piano pieces, and she
relishes the opportunity to put her stamp on new works that will go on to
be staples in the pianist’s repertoire for centuries.

A lust for exploring the unfamiliar is just one of the reasons that Clare
is so in love with her work as a concert pianist. A world traveler, she has
lived and studied on both American coasts and abroad, earning degrees
at Boston University’s College of Fine Arts, Paris’s École Normale de
Musique, and the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, where she
earned her Master’s and Doctor of Music degrees. An ardent Francophile
and fluent French speaker, she received the Fulbright-Harriet Hale Wool-
ley Award in the Arts to study music in Paris in 2009.

Clare sees performance as an extension of her role as an ambassador for

classical music in today’s cultural world. The connections she makes in
classrooms, on concert stages, and everywhere in between help to foster
a greater sense of community for the classical music field that she cares
about so deeply.
