ABOUT THE MUSIC
by Alan M. Rothenberg
O Magnum Mysterium
Giovanni Gabrieli (c. 1557-1612)
Arr. Timothy Higgins
One of the most famous composers of his time, Giovanni Gabrieli
wrote mostly for performances at St. Mark’s Cathedral in Venice,
Italy. This magnificent structure, with its hard, mosaic covered
walls, reflected sound with unusual clarity and reverberation. Its
many balconies inspired music for antiphonal groups of voices and
instruments. Gabrieli first studied under his uncle Andrea Gabrieli
at St. Mark’s, then with Orlando di Lassus in Munich. Shortly after
his return to Venice in 1654 he was appointed organist at St. Mark’s,
becoming principal composer the following year after the death of
his uncle.
Gabrieli is considered by many to be the father of the brass
ensemble; his Sonata pian e forte (1597) was the first piece to specify
the instruments to be used, and to indicate dynamics. O Magnum
Mysterium was originally written for two antiphonal choirs and is
performed tonight in an arrangement for brass ensemble by Timothy
Higgins, principal trombone of the San Francisco Symphony.
Fanfare for Canterbury Cathedral
David Sampson (born 1951)
American composer David Sampson studied at the Curtis Institute
in Philadelphia and the Manhattan School of Music. The recipient
of numerous grants and commissions, he has written music
for orchestra, wind ensemble, chorus, and mixed instrumental
groupings. Being a trumpeter, it is not surprising that a substantial
continued on next page
2020-2021 PROG RA M |9portion of his catalog is devoted to music for brass, in solo and
ensemble configurations. One reviewer described Sampson’s music
as “unusually potent, colorful, and expressive.”
Fanfare for Canterbury Cathedral for double brass quartet was
commissioned by the brass ensemble of the Delbarton School of
Morristown, New Jersey. That group gave the first performance at
the famous Canterbury Cathedral in England in March 1979.
Il Farnace Sinfonia, RV 711
Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741)
The son of a Venetian church musician, Vivaldi was a very capable
violinist by the age of fifteen. In 1704, he began teaching at Ospedale
della Pietà, a girls’ orphanage and music conservatory in Venice. He
was in charge of most musical activities there for most of his adult
life, and much of his voluminous instrumental output was written for
performance by the residents of the Ospedale, particularly the many
concertos for violins and other combinations of instruments. Outside
of Venice, Vivaldi was best known for his many operas—he once
claimed to have written 94 of them.
By the end of the eighteenth century, however, most of Vivaldi’s
music fell into obscurity. Through the efforts of Italian musicologists,
and the American poet Ezra Pound, Vivaldi’s instrumental music was
revived in the 1930s. In the last forty years there has been a revival
of interest in the operas as well. We now have music for about 45
operas, including 1727’s Il Farnace, to a libretto by Antonio Maria
Lucchini. The story, about King Farnace of Pontus and his children’s
complicated love lives, was the subject of some 40 operas, including
a few using Lucchini’s libretto. Early baroque operas usually began
with a sinfonia, which in the nineteenth century became the overture.
As was typical for the time, the sinfonia for Il Farnace is in three
parts, arranged fast-slow-fast.
Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G Major, BWV 1048
J. S. Bach (1685-1750)
Surely there has never been a more magnificent résumé than the “Six
Concerti with Several Instruments” that J.S. Bach sent to Margrave
10 | VA LDOSTA SYMPHO NY O RCHEST RAChristian Louis of Brandenburg in 1721. The Margrave personally
asked Bach to send him some music, and Bach responded with six
pieces he had written wrote over a period of about ten years. Bach
didn’t get the job—in fact, he never heard from the Margrave again—
and most scholars believe that the concertos just sat on a shelf in
the Margrave’s library . Quite possibly the concerti were beyond the
abilities of the modest group of musicians in the Margrave’s employ.
Today, the Brandenburg Concertos have earned a special place in
the repertoire; Bach scholar Karl Geringer described them as full of
“craftsmanship and richly flowing melodic invention, logic, and zest
for experimenting, rarely equaled again even by Bach himself.”
Bach probably chose these particular pieces to show his skill and
versatility as a composer. While rooted in the concerto grosso
form developed by Antonio Vivaldi and other Venetian composers,
each piece in the collection is notably different from the others in
instrumentation and form. The typical concerto grosso features a
group of solo instruments supported by a larger ensemble, but the
Third Concerto is scored for a homogenous instrumental group of
three violins, three violas, and three cellos, along with the usual
basso continuo. Bach exploits the three-by-three aspects of this
ensemble to the fullest; sometimes they are treated as three separate
homogeneous groups and sometimes as three balanced trios.
The first movement shows Bach at his most inventive—it is built
entirely from the three-note theme heard at the very beginning.
There is no written slow movement, just a simple cadence; it is likely
that at this point Bach improvised on either the harpsichord or
violin. The second movement is an exuberant two-part dance that
gives each member of the orchestra a solo turn and, in its way, really
“swings.”
Serenade for Winds in D Minor, Op. 44
Antonín Dvořák (1841-1904)
Born to an innkeeper in a city about ten miles north of Prague,
Antonín Dvořák showed early musical talent by the age of 12 and
first made a living playing organ, violin, and viola, including a stint
continued on next page
2020-2021 PROG RA M | 11in the Prague National Theater orchestra under Bedrich Smetana’s
direction. Dvořák’s early compositions show the strong influence
of Brahms, Schumann, and Wagner, but he gradually returned to
the music of his native Bohemia. By 1874, he had completed four
symphonies, two operas, and an assortment of chamber pieces, but
since very few of these pieces were published, Dvořák had to subsist
on the small sums he earned from teaching and playing church
organ. The following year Dvořák was awarded a government grant,
which brought the struggling composer to the attention of Johannes
Brahms. The elder composer arranged for some of Dvořák’s pieces
to be published by the great Berlin firm of Simrock and Sons, and
Dvořák’s reputation as a composer grew.
On a visit to Vienna in January 1878, Dvořák heard members of the
Vienna Philharmonic play Mozart’s Serenade in B-flat (the so-called
“Grand Partita”). The performance inspired him to create a similar
work, and by the end of the month had completed a serenade for
winds. The first performance took place in November of that year,
under the composer’s direction. Dvořák dedicated the serenade to
the Berlin music critic Louis Ehlert, whose praise of the composer’s
Slavonic Dances earlier in 1878 enhanced Dvořák’s reputation in
Germany. Brahms declared the serenade to be Dvořák finest work to
date.
The D minor serenade was originally scored for just pairs of oboes,
clarinets, and bassoons, along with three horns. Later, he added a
cello, bass, and an optional contrabassoon to reinforce the bass line.
The influence of traditional Czech music can be heard throughout
the piece, which begins with an introductory march. The second
movement is a minuet and trio, where some scholars have detected
elements of the slow Czech dance in three-quarter time known as
the Sousedska, a form Dvořák also used in the Slavonic Dances. The
third movement is a lyrical nocturne, which is followed by the polka-
influenced finale. Towards the end Dvořák brings back the opening
march theme, and ends the serenade with swirling, dancing winds.
