Librett
o by James Fenton
In a
make-believe world, based
loosely on Bombay and
Kashmir, the story of
Haroun is a tale of a
fight between the free
imagination and the
powers that oppose it.
Haroun's father, Rashid,
the Shah of Blah, is a
professional and gifted
story-teller, a popular
figure much in demand at
public events. Feeling
neglected, his wife is
persuaded to leave him
and run away with a
neighbor. After this,
Rashid loses confidence
in his powers of
story-tellling, haunted
by his son's question:
'What's the use of
stories that aren't even
there?' Rashid is due to
speak at a political
rally to be held by the
sinister politician,
Snooty Buttoo. He is told
that if he does not come
up with his usual fund of
tales, his tongue will be
cut out. As Rashid
despairs, Haroun
determines to rescue his
father's talent - a
project in which he
learns that the Ocean of
the Sea of Stories, the
source of all stories, is
being polluted by the
enemy of all stories, the
evil Khattam Shud. In a
series of brilliant
imagined adventures,
Haroun succeeds in
defeating the powers of
darkness, and restoring
happiness to his family,
and to the city where he
lives.
Salman
Ruishdie's children's
book, written in the
aftermath of the fatwa,
has an effervescent style
which is full of rhymes
and wordplay. The
libretto stays very close
to the spirit of the
original, conjuring up a
fantasy world in which,
nonetheless, one never
loses sight of harsh
political reality and the
great issues of freedom
of speech and
imagination. -- James

Prog
ram Notes: It was a happy
coincidence that the
commission for SINFONIA
XVI: TRANSCENDENTAL
VIENNA came from the
Henry David Thoreau
School located in Vienna,
Virginia. Thoreau is one
of the magic names in
American culture: Henry
David Thoreau, one of the
leading figures of the
Transcendentalist
movement, centered in
19th-century New England,
left us a body of unique
philosophical and
poetical writings. To
utter the words, Walden
Pond, is to invoke an
America long past in
physical actuality, but
still present in the
minds and hearts of many
American citizens. The
name, Vienna, of course,
summons thoughts of the
Old World: culture, fine
food, wine, civilized
cities. While
contemplating the form
that SINFONIA XVI should
take, I found myself
thinking of two pillars
of Viennese culture:
expressionism and the
waltz. Musically
speaking, expressionism
reached a zenith in the
works of Arnold
Schoenberg and Alban
Berg. It was Berg, in
particular, that I wanted
to invoke in the outer
movements of my
composition. I knew I
would also have to
include a waltz, and an
invocation of the
mysterious forces that
are contained in both
expressionism and
transcendentalism. Thus
was the structure of the
work generated. The outer
movements with their
vision of the night sky
and the stars, Aldebaran
and Sirius, frame the
central movements, which
are essentially two
versions of the same
material, and are quieter
and less dramatic. The
outer movements are
symmetrical, and share
both pitch and rhythmic
materials. Accordingly, I
see the work as a ternary
form, with the central
movements forming a unit
within the outer frame: A
(Movement 1) B (Movements
2 & 3) A' (Movement 4).
Harmonically, the work
can be summarized by the
two pitch-series which
occur in the opening bars
of Movement 1: the
initial 12-note row, with
a tonal center on F-sharp
(measures 1-6), and the
subsequent D-minor Dorian
7-note row (beginning in
measure 14). Aspects of
these materials occur in
all four movements, but
they are most strongly
present in Movements 1
and 4. Note that the
12-note row is not
subjected to the usual
serial procedures, but
instead is treated as a
signifier and is left
unchanged. Since the
fourth movement takes up
where the first movement
leaves off, I can
conceive of one
interpretation of
SINFONIA XVI as an
evocation of Thoreau
himself contemplating two
of the brightest stars on
a clear, cold night.
Aldebaran is an orange,
first-magnitude star,
located in the
constellation Taurus;
Sirius, the Dog Star, is
the brightest star in the
sky, and is located in
the constellation Canis
Major. Thoreau interrupts
his star-gazing to
entertain some inward
thoughts, waking dreams,
as it were, then returns
his gaze to the splendid
night sky and all its
treasures. Although many
other interpretations of
the material are
possible, it is important
to remember that the
abstract materials of the
piece -- pitch, rhythm,
structure -- are what
count the most. Ensemble

Leoš
Janácek’s
symphonic fragment Dunaj
(The Danube) dates from
the period of the
composition of
“Katya
Kabanovaâ€. The
composer was not
concerned with a
musical-picturesque
description of a river
landscape, but with the
mythical link between
women’s destinies
and
water.
“Pale
green waves of the
Danube! There are so many
of you, and one followed
by another. You remain
interlocked in a
continuous flow. You
surprise yourselves where
you ended up – on
the Czech shores! Look
back downstream and you
will have an impression
of what you have left
behind in your haste. It
pleases you here. Here I
will rest with my
symphony.†Thus
Leoš Janácek
described the idea behind
the composition project
which occupied him in
1923/24. However, after
further work, it remained
incomplete in 1926. His
“symphonyâ€
entitled Dunaj has
survived as a
continuously-notated,
four-movement bundle of
sketches in score form.
It is one of the works
which occupied him until
his death. The scholarly
reconstruction by the two
Brno composers Miloš
Štedron and Leoš
Faltus closely follows
the original
manuscript.
A
whole conglomeration of
motifs stands behind the
incomplete work. What at
first seems like a
counterpart to
Smetana’s Vltava,
in fact doesn’t
turn out to be a musical
depiction of the Danube.
On the contrary, the
fateful link between the
destiny of women, water
and death permeates the
range of motifs found in
the work. It seems to be
no coincidence that
Janácek, whilst
working on the opera
Katya Kabanova, in which
the Volga, as the river
bringing death plays an
almost mythical role,
planned a Danube
symphony, and that its
content was linked with
the destiny of women: in
the sketches, two poems
were found which may have
provided the stimulus for
several movements of the
symphony. He copied a
poem by Pavla
Kriciková into the
second movement, in which
a girl remarks that
whilst bathing in a pond,
she was observed by a
man. Filled with shame,
the young naked woman
jumps into the water and
drowns. The outer
movements likewise draw
on the poem
“Lola†by the
Czech writer Sonja
Špálová,
published under the
pseudonym Alexander
Insarov. This is about a
prostitute who asks for
her heart’s
desire: she is given a
palace, but then goes on
a long search for it and
is finally no longer
wanted by anyone. She
suffers, feels cold and
just wants a warm fire.
Janácek adds his
remark “she jumps
into the Danube†to
the inconclusive
ending.
To these
tangible literary models
is added Adolf
Veselý’s verbal
account which reports
that the composer wanted
to portray “in the
Danube, the female sex
with all its passions and
driving forcesâ€.
The third movement is
said to characterise the
city of Vienna in the
form of a
woman.
It is
evident that in his
composition, Janácek
was not striving for a
simple, natural lyricism.
The River Danube is
masculine in the Slavic
language –
“ten Dunajâ€
– and assumes an
almost mythical
significance in the
national character,
indeed often also a role
bringing death. The four
movements are motivically
conceived. Elements of
sound painting, small
wave-like figures in the
first movement, motoric,
driving movements in the
third are obvious
evocations of water. And
the content and the
literary level are easy
to discover. The
“tremolo of the
four timpaniâ€,
which was amongst
Janácek’s first
inspirations, appears in
the second movement. It
is not difficult to
retrace in it the fate of
the drowning bather. The
oboe enters lamentoso
towards the end of the
movement over timpani
playing tremolo, its
descending figure is
taken over by the flute,
then upper strings and
intensified considerably.
The motif of drowning
– Lola’s
despair – returns
again in the fourth
movement in the clarinet,
before the work ends
abruptly and
dramatically.
One
special effect is the use
of a soprano voice in the
motor-driven third
movement. The singer
vocalises mainly in
parallel with the solo
oboe, but also in
dialogue with other parts
such as the viola
d’amore, which
Janácek used in
several late works as a
sort of “voice of
loveâ€.

Though A.E.
Brachvogel's portrayal of
the failed genius in his
biography about W.F. Bach
drew an impressive
picture of the inner
turmoil of the eldest
Bach son's personality,
it is rather unproductive
for the understanding of
his music. However,
legends often or mostly
contain a core of truth:
There is no doubt that
the highly gifted
musician failed because
of the overwhelming
example of his father (as
composer) particularly
since he was on the
threshold from one epoch
to another.In the adagio,
both flute parts rising
above the string
orchestra are assigned a
quality of expression
that can already be
related to the
sentimental age whereas
the second movement, a
more or less strict
string fugue, is rooted
in the
tradition-conscious
baroque period.

The arranger
of this work (a
well-known Hungarian
composer living in
Romania) writes: +This
piece has always excited
my imagination, from
several points of view.
First of all, its name.
The German title, the
obstinate one, may refer
to its ostinato
character. This is close
to Liszt's programme
concept, but the French
word 'obstine' is closer
in meaning to stubborn.
There is just a shade of
difference, but to me it
is important, because the
latter suggests the
description of a type of
behaviour, the emotional
state of a dancer's inner
frame of mind abstracted
into movements, expressed
in dance movements, and
this is a fascinating
interpretation. The
demonstration of stubborn
resistance and defiance
to the point of
exhaustion was not a
frequently occurring
phenomenon with Liszt.
Secondly, at the
beginning of the
seventies Zoltan Kocsis
played the piece in
Transylvania. At that
time, I asked the
composer, +Is the
character of the
continuous staccato in
the left hand sharp,
short, or an accompanying
background like a
constant shadow? Is it a
weighty Brahmsian
staccato, an ominous
knocking? - and so on.
Then there are the
Bartokian false relations
that keep recurring in
the work, the B-E flat-G,
etc. That foreshadows
Debussy, creating
harmonic thrills that,
when I hear the work,
keep my continuing
interest alive for it.
Finally, my immediate
reason for arranging the
work was of a family
nature: in connection
with Liszt's jubilee
year, my daughter, who is
a cellist, wanted a 'more
energetic' piece to play
at a bicentenary concert
an addition to the
existing slow, lyrical,
or sombre works written
by Liszt for the
cello.+.

This fine
work has sat dormant for
many years and has now
come to light thanks to
the efforts of Charlie
Vernon, Bass Trombonist
of the Chicago Symphony,
who performed this
virtuoso work as a young
performer. The concerto
is in the standard three
movement form: Fast,
slow, fast. This
publication is a
reduction from the
original orchestral
version (to be released
at some point in the
future). Here is a
description of the
Concerto by the composer,
John W. Ware. I started
on the trombone concerto
in my junior year
studying composition at
Indiana University. While
working on it, I learned
of an opportunity to make
it sort of a thesis piece
(though students didn't
write a thesis in
composition while an
undergrad). The original
version was for trombone
with string orchestra,
and it was performed by
the IU String Orchestra,
conducted by Dr. Arthur
Corra, with Robert Priez,
trombone, as part of my
senior composition
recital. I thought the
performance was quite
good (Priez played
extraordinarily well),
and the piece received a
newspaper review in the
Indiana Daily Student, in
which the reviewer wrote
that the work was almost
too exciting. I thought
at the time that he had
given me and my music a
fine compliment. I made a
piano version of the
accompaniment, shortening
and tightening the first
movement, for
performances in 1966; I
made a second revision in
1967 for a performance by
E. J. Eaton, trombonist
at the University of
Tennessee at Martin,
arriving at the form in
which the work exists
now. The first movement
is in fairly normal
sonata-allegro form, in
the key of A minor. It
alternates between
assertive and more
thoughtful moods. There
is no introduction; the
soloist enters
immediately and dominates
much of the movement. The
main theme is--by some
manipulation--a source
for most of the other
themes, and all of the
themes are used in close
proximity to each other,
including contrapuntal
combinations, especially
near the end. Originally
the movement included a
lengthy fugato, now much
shortened and including a
stretto that builds and
subsides before a cadenza
leading to a coda based
on both the principal and
secondary themes. Key
relations in this
movement, as in the other
two, are quite free and
often chromatic, with
frequent third-relations;
but returns to the tonic
at the end are emphatic.
The writing is
challenging for both
soloist and accompanist;
the piece is substantial,
requiring technique and
stamina. The second
movement is in F minor
and is also built on both
contrast and close
relationships between the
main and secondary
themes. The main theme is
heard in the piano part
before the soloist
enters. The mood is more
lyric than in the first
movement, but with
dramatic episodes also.
In this movement are some
definite derivations from
themes in the first
movement. The ending is a
sort of lengthened shadow
of the opening. The
finale returns to A
minor, with themes
slightly related to
polonaise rhythms, but
with strong echoes of
first-movement themes.
Here, too, dramatic and
lyric episodes alternate,
with dotted rhythms
frequently propelling the
music forward. The
introduction is a brief
and simple preparation
for the solo entry. Later
in the movement, a very
brief, slightly slower
section is soon overtaken
by the original tempo.
Toward the end, there is
a second cadenza, again
leading to a swift and
energetic coda. The work
is about 20 minutes in
length and is appropriate
for advanced
performers.
