Dear Music Lovers, We at the DSO always strive to create memorable seasons—and what a memorable season this is already! At a time when the normal course of events, of life, of culture and music, is disrupted at best, and hobbled, or extinguished at worst, we are beyond thrilled to present great mu- sic for you—extraordinary nourishment at a time of extraordinary need. This season the power of great music stands in startling relief to notions of social distancing and mask-wearing. Music is about social closeness—from its ordinary method of performing and of consuming, music is a close-quarter pursuit. Music is intimate. It brings people together, rather than keeping them apart. Mask- wearing too is antithetical to what we do. Masks hide, music reveals. Even with these impediments, the great music of great masters speak—even across DSL and fiber optic lines. And even with masks, great music shines a bright light on the power and beauty of humanity. This is a memorable season. But my hope is that in the near future we will remember the past year not for the pandemic, but for the heartening, nourishing displays of humanity that we see every day—people in unideal circumstances making an effort to make the world more bearable and more beautiful. Thank you for being with us. David Amado Music Director
David Amado
Music Director
David Amado has been music director of the Delaware Symphony Or-
chestra since 2003, and in July, 2016 he began a second music director-
ship at the Atlantic Classical Orchestra in Florida.
As a guest conductor, Amado has led numerous prominent orches-
tras. In addition to the St. Louis Symphony, where he served as associate
conductor from 2001 to 2004, he has led the Philadelphia Orchestra, Los
Angeles Philharmonic, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, Rochester Phil-
harmonic, and the Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Milwaukee, National, New
World and Toronto symphonies. Recent engagements have included the
Mobile and New Bedford symphony orchestras, California’s Symphony
Silicon Valley, and the New Haven Symphony Orchestra.
Amado has been praised by the media, audiences, and fellow musi-
cians for his deep musical insight and visceral energy. These qualities have
allowed him to reinvigorate the Delaware Symphony, which has become a
premiere regional orchestra during his tenure. In 2010, the DSO released
a critically acclaimed CD on the Telarc label, partnering with the Los An-
geles Guitar Quartet in concertos by Joaquin Rodrigo and Sergio Assad’
the recording debuted at number 11 on the Billboard charts and earned a
Latin Grammy nomination. Its second commercial CD, The Book of Signs,
featuring double guitar concertos by Leo Brouwer and Paulo Bellinati
with the Brasil Guitar Duo was released in April, 2018, on the Naxos
label and received a Latin Grammy Award nomination for Best Classical
Album.
Amado began his musical training in
piano, studying in The Juilliard School’s
pre-college and college divisions before
going on to Indiana University, where he
received a master’s degree in instrumental
conducting. He pursued further conduct-
ing studies at Juilliard with Otto-Werner
Mueller. His first professional conducting
post, an apprenticeship with the Oregon
Symphony, was followed by a six-year
tenure with the St. Louis Symphony, where
he served as both a staff conductor at the
orchestra and music director of of the St.
Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra.
DSO Patrons & Friends, The dictionary definition of a “silver lining” is: (n) a sign of hope in an unfortunate or gloomy situation; a bright prospect: Every cloud has a silver lining. Since the pandemic began over six months ago you may have encountered several silver linings in your life. For me, it has been unexpected time with my wife and daughter, more time outdoors on our front porch, renewed relationships with family and friends (albeit, from a dis- tance), and a newfound appreciation for our Delaware Symphony musicians’ dedication to their craft and innate need to perform. The DSO, too, has had its share of silver linings since the pandemic began: Our new Executive Director, J.C. Barker, moved to Wilm- ington and got right down to business; David Amado found new, innovative ways to connect with our audience; the generosity of our patrons and donors allowed us to support our DSO musicians during a time that many musicians across the country were being furloughed. Of course, there have always been silver linings, however, the pandemic has made them a little more meaningful…more easily savored. I look forward to the DSO’s 2020-2021 Season’s digital format as a silver lining that will empower us to reach for the stars as we continue to present a first-class, intimate experience during these challenging times. Thank you, David J. Kubacki President
Dear Friends, I am truly delighted to welcome you to this year’s season of the Delaware Symphony Orchestra! The past few months have challenged us to create an offering of music that we can bring to you in the safest way possible, while still holding the highest standards of artistic excellence that you have come to expect from your DSO.

Program Notes
Italy and its culture have long been inspirational to authors, poets,
artists, and composers. Perhaps the country's place at the forefront
of arts and culture can be linked back to Rome and its role as caput
mundi, or head of the world. Traditionally Italy conjures images
of food, wine, the Mediterranean Sea, and Rome's ancient ruins.
However, it also boasts the title as the home of modern opera. Italy
is the country most often associated with the art form as well as
other performing arts. Its musical and theatrical traditions have
also inspired many composers to write music in an Italian style or
an Italian theme.
Despite being recognized as the birthplace of modern opera, Italy is
not the only country to produce influential opera composers.
Germany's Richard Wagner is widely acknowledged to be one of
the late nineteenth century's most influential musical figures. He
would also be a significant influence on Hugo Wolf. Before the
Wagnerian era, art song, or Lied, was a prominent form of vocal
music in Germany and Austria. Composers set German
romantic poets' work to music, transcribing the words into song
that gave audiences a new way of hearing and feeling the poetry.
The best-known composers of lied, such as Franz Schubert and
Robert Schumann, were extraordinarily prolific and led
surprisingly short lives. Wolf also ranks among the greatest com-
posers of lied. Tragically, his life ended when he was only 42 after
he checked himself into an asylum several years prior due to syphi-
litic insanity.
Wolf was discouraged from pursuing a
compositional career. He was expelled from
several secondary schools due to his erratic
temperament and lack of interest in any
coursework—other than music. He would
eventually enroll at the Vienna conservatory but
would also be expelled due to breach of discipline
Hugo Wolf and clashing with its conservative authorities.
Music was said to be the only thing upon which he cared to focus,and his decision to pursue composition as a career placed a great deal of strain on the relationship he had with his family. Wolf 's personal life dictated his compositional output in the sense that he went through somewhat brief periods of writing in which he churned out many works and endured extended bouts of depression that caused him to suffer from from musical writer's block. One such period occurred after the death of Wagner, whom Wolf idolized. Many believe he wrote the song "Zur Ruh, zur Ruh" as an elegy to the late composer. For a time, Wolf worked as a critic, offering scathing reviews of any music he deemed inferior. Franz Liszt encouraged Wolf to expand his compositional output from song to larger works. Wolf firmly believed that he would only gain the notoriety he felt he deserved through full orchestral pieces and opera. By the time of his death, Wolf left many compositions unfinished, one of which was the expansion of his Serenade in G Major. He planned to transform it from a piece for string quartet to a full orchestral work. Wolf referred to the work as "an Italian serenade," which is how it has come to be known. Italian Serenade was meant to have additional movements, but his attempts in 1893, 1894, and 1897 were never realized beyond sketches. Wolf, who detested absolute music and academic forms of composition, did not use an expected sonata-like form for the ser- enade. Instead, he utilized a programmatic style, with a free rondo form and recitative-like passages. The piece is viewed as unlikely joyful for someone who had such a troubled life. The music, which dances about, is reminiscent of Italian comic opera. The work opens with a motif that might suggest the tuning of guitars or mandolins and leads into a dance-like melody. Wolf 's signature use of chromatic harmony soon appears, along with trills and rapid scales. A slower moving motif then gives way to the opening material, which appears several times throughout the short work. Wolf further embellishes the motifs, giving rise to lively outbursts before a calmer handing off of thematic material from one instrument to another. The work concludes in a light-hearted manner, in much the same way as it opened.
Those who are familiar with Wolf 's music often lament that he
never completed subsequent movements to his Italian Serenade. It
is thought to be one of his best orchestral works, and most
accurately illustrates the evolution of his compositional maturity.
In the same way his Serenade was influenced by Italian culture and
marked a turn in Wolf 's compositional style, Igor Stravinsky found
himself inspired by works of the Italian composer Giovanni Battista
Pergolesi as well as the commedia dell'arte. These would eventually
become the basis of a ballet that was reconciliation of sorts between
Stravinsky and his good friend, the impresario Sergei Diaghilev,
after a falling out. It also marked his compositional transition to the
neoclassical style.
Stravinsky is perhaps best known for his
collaborations with Diaghilev for the Ballets
Russes: The Firebird, Petruskha, and The
Rite of Spring. The last of the three ballets
solidified Stravinsky's reputation as a
revolutionary composer, pushing the
boundaries of music in terms of
rhythmic structures, and their relationship
to harmonic structures. Stravinsky grew up
Igor Stravinsky in what one might call a more traditional
musical household. His father, Fyodor, was a bass with the Kyiv
Opera (now the National Opera of Ukraine) and the Mariinsky
Theatre. His musical studies began at a young age, and his interest
in ballet occurred at about eight years old when he saw a
production of Tchaikovsky's The Sleeping Beauty. As was the case
with many musicians, Stravinsky's parents wanted him to study law.
He did, for the most part, stick to his law studies during his first
year at the University of St. Petersburg. His focus shifted in 1902
after befriending the son of the composer Nikolai Rimsky-
Korsakov, Vladimir. Nine years later, Stravinsky met Diaghilev, and
their collaborations for the Ballets Russes began in earnest. The two
would have a falling out, though, when after World War I Russia/
the emerging USSR did not permit Stravinsky to collect royalties
on performances of his works from the Ballet Russes. Stravinsky
blamed Diaghilev for this, despite it not being his fault.Well aware of Stravinsky's animosity toward him, Diaghilev lured his friend back to composing a work for a resurrected Ballet Russes by giving him Pergolesi manuscripts. Later it was found out that the majority were not actually written by Pergolesi, but the ploy worked. Selecting the music as inspiration for this new work proved to be an easy task for Stravinsky. He also took an episode from the commedia dell'arte involving the stock character Pulcinella, the traditional Neapolitan hero. When composing the work, Stravinsky stated, "I began by composing on the Pergolesi manuscripts themselves, as though I were correcting an old work of my own." He also stated, "... I could not produce a 'forgery' of Pergolesi because my motor habits are so different; at best, I could repeat him in my own accent." Stravinsky did create something that was entirely his own, mainly altering the inner harmonies and rhythms of the manuscripts. The something that he created was initially quite misunderstood, especially by Diaghilev, who was unsure to credit Stravinsky as the composer or arranger. Others criticized him for deserting modernism and felt his interpretation was sacrilegious. None the less, Pulcinella premiered in Paris in 1920. The ballet is divided into 21 sections and has vocal parts. Two years later, Stravinsky revised the score, creating the Pulcinella Suite, which consists of eight movements. He further revised the suite in 1949 and 1965. The plot conveyed through the music involves Pulcinella and his girlfriend, Pimpinella, their friends Furbo, Prudenza, Rosetta, Florindo, and Cloviello. The story begins with Florindo and Cloviello serenading Prudenza and Rosetta, but the ladies are unimpressed by their suitors. Rosetta dances for Pulcinella, and they kiss. Pimpinella witnesses this and is infuriated. It also fills Florindo and Cloviello with jealousy. Pulcinella is stabbed, but this is a setup in order to gain Pimpinella's forgiveness. Furbo, disguised as a magician, resurrects the 'slain' Pulcinella in front of everyone, and he earns the forgiveness he seeks. Pulcinella and Pimpinella, along with the other two couples, wed at the end of the ballet.
While Stravinsky was inspired by Italian music and theatre, Felix Mendelssohn drew inspiration from his experiences visiting Italy. Traveling throughout Europe was often customary for well-to-do and educated families in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It would, therefore, not be surprising as something that Mendelssohn experienced during his life. His father was a banker, and his grandfather was a philosopher, so he and his siblings grew up in a well-off and intellectual household. The Mendelssohn children grew up with artists, musicians, scientists, and intellectuals visiting the salon in their parents' Berlin home. Both Felix and his sister Fanny displayed great musical talents in their youth, and despite their father believing Fanny initially had greater musical abilities, Felix became a very successful composer and performer. It was not viewed as appropriate for a woman to pursue a career in music in the early 1800s – a conception that has, thankfully, changed. Fanny did compose and played piano to great acclaim but was only viewed as an amateur during her lifetime. In 1830, Mendelssohn embarked on a grand tour of Europe, visiting England, Scotland, Wales, and Italy. His sojourn to Italy lasted ten months, and he documented the trip in a series of watercolors and a musical travelogue. In addition to composing, Mendelssohn was an accomplished painter and illustrator. His tour began in Venice and ended in Rome, with stops in Bologna and Florence on the way south, and Naples, Pompeii, Felix Mendelssohn Genoa, and Milan on his return trip to Germany. While in Rome, he witnessed the ceremonies, devotions, and festivities of Holy Week, as well as the coronation of Pope Pius VIII. In Symphony No. 4, Mendelssohn evokes the sights and impressions of Italy from his excursion: the sunshine, countryside, the Mediterranean Sea, religious ceremonies, and the country's art and architecture. The work, which Mendelssohn once described as "blue sky in A major," opens with breathless excitement and a jubilant melody,
depicting the warm, bright Italian sky; a stark contrast to the often cloud-filled and seemingly less vibrant northern European atmosphere. He does, however, include a turbulent minor development section as a nod to northern Europe and his "Scottish" Symphony (in A minor), which he was working on at the same time. In the second movement, Mendelssohn illustrates the ceremonies he witnessed during Holy Week in Rome. The slower moving passages evoke the solemn processions in which the faithful and clergy alike slowly move toward and throughout churches in devotion. In somewhat of a contrast, or perhaps more of a continuation of his journey, the third movement depicts Italy's art and architecture. The fanfare-like motif suggests a grandeur of colossal structures and their harmonic symmetry. The fourth and final movement is the one that is overtly Italian. It is based on the Neapolitan saltarello, a dance that originated in medieval Tuscany and is known for its leaping step. The movement presses forward, as does the lively dance, and comes to a close with a variation of the symphony's opening theme.
