The
composer, conductor, and
pianist Andre Previn (b.
1929) is originally of
Russian Jewish origin. He
left his native Germany
in 1938 to live in Paris
and subsequently settled
in Los Angeles in 1940.
His early career of
orchestrating film scores
at MGM led quickly to
conducting engagements of
symphonic repertoire, and
onto an international
career as Music Director
of orchestras such as
London, Los Angeles, Oslo
and Pittsburgh. In the
1980s, he concentrated
increasingly on
compositions for the
concert hall and opera.
His own richly lyrical
style underscores his
love of the late Romantic
and early 20th-century
masterpieces of which his
interpretations as
conductor
areinternationally
renowned.

Son
et lumière (“sound and
light,” a kind of show
staged for tourists at
historic sites or famous
buildings) is an
orchestral entertainment
whose subject is the play
of colors, bright
surfaces, and shimmery
textures. I have tried in
this music to recapture
the élan and immediacy
that regular meters and
repetitive rhythms make
possible—something
forbidden during the
modernist regime but
recently restored in the
post-modern work of
composers like John
Adams, Steve Reich, and
others. Throughout its
brief nine-minute span,
then, the piece is built
almost exclusively of
short, busy ostinato
figures—my attempt, I
suppose, to achieve the
rhythmic vitality of
minimalism, but without
giving in to the
over-simple harmonic
language that usually
comes with
it.Surprisingly, the
musical materials seemed
determined to shape
themselves into an
approximation of
nineteenth-century sonata
form. We hear an
introduction, a first
theme (based on triadic
broken chords), a second
theme (beginning with the
flute solo), and a
closing theme (led by two
piccolos). In a sort of
development section,
these materials are
recombined in new ways;
in a recapitulation, both
the first and second
themes are recalled more
or less intact (part of
the second is actually
repeated quite
literally).Then, in the
coda, a second surprise:
as if another, different
music has been lurking
all the while behind the
shiny surface, the
strings now unexpectedly
split off from the rest
of the orchestra to
assert a new, more
passionate, more
“serious” voice,
transcending the external
show of sound and
light.Son et lumière,
commissioned by the
Baltimore Symphony
Orchestra, was composed
between June and December
1988 in Ithaca (N.Y.), in
Los Angeles, and at the
artists’ colony Yaddo,
in Saratoga Springs
(N.Y.). David Zinman
conducted the first
performance in Baltimore
on 18 May 1989; André
Previn gave the West
Coast premiere with the
Los Angeles Philharmonic
on 18 January,
1990. Son et lumière
