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€.

Young
string musicians will
enjoy performing this
heavy rock style piece
because it utilizes an
aggressive style and
mixed tonality similar to
'their' music that they
listen to for fun. The
concept behind the title
of this piece is that,
although we sometimes
move dully through our
daily routines, it is
good to take time to
appreciate the individual
moments that make up our
lives, like a child does
the first time they
experience something. All
parts are in first
position with few
accidentals or difficult
bowing patterns. At the
same time, this piece
will challenge your group
with its independent
voicings and syncopated,
interlocking rhythms.
This piece would add
variety to any school
concert, and would fit
nicely in a festival
program, especially one
that utilized several
different genres.

Illum
inating Journey is
composed to celebrate
Maestro Carl St. Clair's
25th Anniversary season
with Pacific Symphony.
Maestro St. Clair is one
of the few conductors who
has dedicated his time to
new music and support for
living composers. I first
encountered Maestro St.
Clair in 2004 when I was
one of the finalists for
the Young Composers
Competition. After I won
that competition, I had
an opportunity to work
with Maestro St. Clair on
the piece that he
commissioned for the
Pacific Symphony in 2005.
That's the beginning of
the journey of our
friendship. Illuminating
Journey is inspired by
Maestro St. Clair's
personality and the music
he loved. The piece is
mainly based on the pitch
material from Maestro St.
Clair's name CARL which
can be translated as C =
C, A = A, R = Re, and L =
La. That pitch material
already has the character
of Illuminating sound for
the open 5th and octave.
The piece also
incorporates some musical
references that have some
meaning for Maestro St.
Clair, such as the
hopefulness of the
melodic intervals from
West Side Story, There's
a Place for Us, composed
by Leonard Bernstein, who
was also Maestro St.
Clair's mentor.
Illuminating Journey
starts with the rhythmic
motion of the pitch C and
moves on to create a set
of pitches. The note C
functions as a center for
the endless energy of
this piece and creates a
triumphant ending. I
would personally like to
thank Maestro St. Clair
for his dedication on my
music and his friendship
throughout the past 10
years. The work with
Maestro St. Clair and the
Pacific Symphony was an
early step in my career
as a composer. I often
mentioned that I may not
be able to come this far
without that part of my
life. Thank you very
much, Maestro St. Clair
and the Pacific Symphony.
Let's celebrate our
Illuminating Journey
together.

That
Schumann truly dug his
heels into symphonic
creation becomes clear at
the latest when we look
not only at his four
well-known symphonies,
but also at the works
between the genres, such
as the Overture, Scherzo
and Finale. Unlike the
traditional symphonic
form, this work has no
slow movement. Schumann
spoke of it as a suite
which hints at a loose
connection of movements
and as a sinfonietta.
Ultimately, he decided to
name it after the
headings of the three
movements which also
share common traits among
one another. Overture,
Scherzo and Finale is
being published here for
the first time with an
Urtext score and parts.
The genesis of the work
was marked by corrections
and revisions. Schumann
subjected the work to a
thorough revision after
the premiere performance
and, after the
publication of the
orchestral parts in 1846,
made more changes for the
first edition of the
score seven years
later.

Three of
the most memorable
operatic vocal arias are
presented here for young
strings. The arias are
set in comfortable keys
and remain in first
position. Your audiences
will appreciate hearing
these familiar tunes from
the world of Italian
Grand Opera, which are
performable as separate
movements or as a small
suite. Features La Donna
Mobile from Rigoletto,
Quando me'n vo (Musetta's
Waltz) from La Boheme,
and Libiamo ne'lieti
calici from La Traviata.
Students will be
additionally challenged
as they work to follow
the conductor's rubato
interpretations that
characterize the style of
Musetta's Waltz, and
strive to create a wide
range of dynamics that
are required for the
dance-like rollicking
flow of the other two
waltzes.

Work on this
piece began in the spring
of 1899 durng Kar owiczs
studies in Berlin and he
finished it after
graduating and returning
home in June 1902. Its
premiere took place on
March 21, 1903 in Berlin,
and the Polish premiere
on April 7, 1903 in Lviv.
The symphony has a
classic, four-movement
structure, but in terms
of architecture it is
much closer to symphonic
poems. It consists of the
movements: 1. Andante.
Allegro 2. Andante non
troppo 3. Vivace 4.
Allegro maestoso. ''In
terms of orchestration
and instrumentation
technique it represents
Kar owiczs early,
academic period. The
composer still used
double wind enriched with
piccolo flute, unlike in
his later orchestral
works the symphonic
poems. The orchestration
of the work indicates
that the composer was
guided by Tchaikovskys
symphonic model. Kar
owicz here still
willingly operates with
various sound blocks of
entire instrumental
groups, treating them in
a choral manner, with
tight chordal pillars''
(Leszek Polony). Before
the Polish premiere the
composer gave a
comprehensive literary
programme of the work in
the Lviv newspaper S owo
Polskie, in which he
referred to each
consecutive movement of
the Symphony. In his last
words he wrote, ''We hear
a hymn of revival, at
first quiet and sweet,
then wider and wider, and
fuller. Already the time
has come; to hear the
fanfare. Only one more
step! And although the
spirits fall again in
doubt, we hear a powerful
and solemn hymn of
rebirth.''.

Haydn
arrived in London at the
beginning of February
1794 for his second stay
in England. By this time,
he had completed three
movements of the Symphony
in D major Hob. I:101,
and the finished work was
premiered on 3 March.
Even the members of the
audience at the premiere
took note of the
pendulum-like
accompanying figure in
the second movement,
which was in fact
explicitly mentioned in a
review: “The
management of the
accompaniments of the
andante, though perfectly
simple, was
masterly.†The even
tick-tock oscillations
sparked the imagination
of listeners so much,
apparently, that the
nickname
“Clock†came
into use later in the
nineteenth century. And
while this name may have
nothing to do with Haydn,
is it even possible to
listen to the famous
second movement today
without making the
association? To everyone
wishing to become more
acquainted with this
symphony, let this
inexpensive study edition
be commended - with
reliable commentaries on
its genesis, sources, and
edition as well as an

Little is
known about the actual
composition process of
Lemminkainen and the
performance and
publication history is
rather complex, resulting
in a first complete
printing of all the four
movements en suite
through the complete
edition of Jean Sibelius
Works only in 2013.In
summer 1894 Sibelius went
to Central Europe,
carrying among others a
plan for an opera freely
based on the Kalevala in
his mind. But during this
trip he reassessed his
composing: I think I have
found my old self again,
musically speaking. I
think I really am a tone
painter and a poet. As a
result he abandoned his
opera plans, but musical
material may have found
its way into the
Lemminkainen pieces which
he started composing
during that time.
Lemminkainen became
popular from the
beginning and has
attained a fixed position
in the concert
repertoire.On
Lemminkainen's Return
Sibelius commented: I
would like to see more
pride in us Finns. Why
should we be ashamed?
This is the underlying
thought in Lemminkainen's
Return. Lemminkainen is
just as good as the
noblest of earls. He is
an aristocrat, without
question an
aristocrat!.

Like my
oratorio Novae de
infinito laudes, this
work, too, has been
influenced by the human
world and the scenery of
Rome, indeed, perhaps
even by the greater
hardness of the roman
language compared to that
of Naples. The first four
notes of the subsidiary
theme of the second
movement which appears
for the first time in bar
36 are borrowed from the
song My own, my own from
the second act of my
opera Elegy for Young
