In the film\, Fred’s character borrows a dog just so he can meet Ginger during passenger-dog-walking-hour on the cruise ship they are both on. \n\n\n\nThe Violin Concerto by Wynton Marsalis was composed for Scottish violinist\, Nicola Benedetti. The two collaborated on the piece for months often working note-by-note over transatlantic phone calls. \n\n\n\nTchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6 premiered in Saint Petersberg\, Russia on October 28\, 1893\, nine days prior to his death. It was his final completed Symphony. \n\n\n\nConcert Conversations with Francesco Lecce-Chong\n\n\n\nConcert Conversations are general seating and free to Classical Series concert ticket holders.

In addition to his many Broadway musicals\, written in collaboration with his brother Ira\, and his groundbreaking orchestral works\, Gershwin also composed a handful of scores for Hollywood films. After his death\, additional films such as the 1945 biopic Rhapsody in Blue and the 1951 MGM adaptation of An American in Paris also showcased Gershwin’s music. \n\n\n\nThe 1937 film Shall We Dance is the best known of Gershwin’s film scores and includes the Academy Award-nominated song\, “They Can’t Take That Away From Me.” The movie features Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in one of their timeless dance fantasies. The excerpt on tonight’s program has become a stand-alone work with a variety of arrangements’ this version for orchestra was first published in 1960. The music corresponds to a scene in which Fred Astaire “borrows” a dog so he can walk it along the deck of a luxury liner as a pretext for meeting Ginger Rogers\, who is also walking a dog. \n\n\n\nWYNTON MARSALISConcerto in D for Violin and Orchestra  COMPOSER: born October 18\, 1961\, New Orleans\, LAWORK COMPOSED: 2015-15\, for violinist Nicola BenedettiWORLD PREMIERE: Benedetti performed the solo part with conductor James Gaffigan and the London Symphony Orchestra on November 6\, 2015\, in Barbican Hall\, LondonINSTRUMENTATION: solo violin\, 3 flutes (1 doubling piccolo)\, 3 oboes (1 doubling English horn)\, 2 clarinets\, bass clarinet\, 3 bassoons (1 doubling contrabassoon\, 4 horns\, 3 trumpets\, 3 trombones\, tuba\, timpani\, percussion\, harp and strings ESTIMATED DURATION: 44 minutes Wynton Marsalis is an internationally acclaimed musician\, composer/bandleader\, educator\, and a leading advocate of American culture. Born into a famous New Orleans family of musicians and educators\, Marsalis began playing trumpet at age six. In his teens\, Marsalis studied at Tanglewood and Juilliard and toured with acclaimed bandleader Art Blakey and his Jazz Messengers. In 1983\, at age 22\, Marsalis became the first and only musician to win Grammy awards in classical and jazz categories in the same year. He repeated his wins in both categories the following year. \n\n\n\nAs a composer\, Marsalis has created and performed an expansive range of music across multiple genres: quartets\, big bands\, chamber music ensembles\, symphony orchestras\, and has created music for tap to ballet dancers\, all the while expanding the vocabulary for jazz and classical music. In 1997\, Marsalis’ oratorio Blood on the Fields became the first jazz composition to win the Pulitzer Prize in Music. Since 1996\, Marsalis has served as the director of Jazz at Lincoln Center. In this role\, as in his many and varied other activities\, Marsalis has become the foremost ambassador for jazz and American music in the United States. \n\n\n\nMarsalis composes his solo works for specific performers\, rather than instruments. His 2015 Violin Concerto was written for Scottish violinist Nicola Benedetti. Marsalis writes\, “It takes inspiration from her life as a traveling performer and educator who enlightens and delights communities all over the world with the magic of virtuosity… Nicky asked me to ‘invite a diverse world of people into the experience of this piece’… Finding and nurturing common musical ground between differing arts and musical styles has been a lifetime fascination of mine… It may seem simple enough\, but bringing different perspectives together is never easy. The shared vocabulary between the jazz orchestra and the modern orchestra sits largely in the areas of texture and instrumental technique. Form\, improvisation\, harmony\, and methods of thematic development are very different. The biggest challenges are how to orchestrate the nuance and virtuosity in jazz and blues for an ensemble not versed in those styles (a technical issue); and how to create a consistent groove without a rhythm section (a musical/philosophical issue). \n\n\n\nMarsalis explored historical cultural and musical connections between Benedetti’s Scottish roots and his own as an African-American bluesman from New Orleans. “I looked for real-life examples in the history of jazz–symphonic collaborations and to the environment and experience that connect Nicky and me. I considered aspects of her Scottish ancestry\, the great Afro-American abolitionist Frederick Douglass’ love of legendary Scottish poet Robert Burns\, my love and inextinguishable respect for Scottish baritone saxophonist Joe Temperley (and his gleeful recitation of pungent limericks)\, and the luminous but obscure achievements of Afro-American keyed bugler Francis Johnson\, father of the American cornet tradition and one of the first published American composers…who was also a fine fiddler. These sources led me to reconnect with the Anglo-Celtic roots of Afro-American music.” \n\n\n\nEach of the four movements is an aspect of a musical journey\, as the violinist takes us to an eclectic range of places and soundscapes. “Rhapsody is a complex dream that becomes a nightmare\, progresses into peacefulness and dissolves into ancestral memory\,” Marsalis writes. “Rondo Burlesque is a syncopated\, New Orleans jazz\, calliope\, circus clown\, African gumbo\, Mardi Gras party in odd meters. Blues is the progression of flirtation\, courtship\, intimacy\, sermonizing\, final loss\, and abject loneliness that is out there to claim us all. Hootenanny is a raucous\, stomping and whimsical barnyard throw-down. She excites us with all types of virtuosic chicanery and gets us intoxicated with revelry and then… goes on down the Good King’s highway to other places yet to be seen or even foretold. As in the blues and jazz tradition\, our journey ends with the jubilance and uplift of an optimistic conclusion.” \n\n\n\nPYOTR ILYICH TCHAIKOVSKYSymphony No. 6 in B minor\, Op. 74\, “Pathétique” \n\n\n\nCOMPOSER: born May 7\, 1840\, Kamsko-Votinsk\, Viatka province\, Russia; died November 6\, 1893\, St. PetersburgWORK COMPOSED: 1893; dedicated to Tchaikovsky’s nephew Vladimir “Bob” DavidovWORLD PREMIERE: Tchaikovsky conducted the first performance on October 28\, 1893\, at the Hall of the Nobles in St. PetersburgINSTRUMENTATION: 3 flutes (1 doubling piccolo) 2 oboes\, 2 clarinets\, (1 doubling bass clarinet)\, 2 bassoons\, 4 horns\, 2 trumpets\, 3 trombones\, tuba\, timpani\, bass drum\, cymbals\, tam-tam\, and strings.ESTIMATED DURATION: 44 minutes \n\n\n\n“I love it as I have never loved any one of my musical offspring before.” – Tchaikovsky on his Sixth Symphony Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Sixth Symphony continues to spark debate more than 130 years after its composition. In a letter to his nephew Vladimir Davidov\, Tchaikovsky wrote\, “Last December I had the idea of writing a program symphony\, but to a program that should remain an enigma to everyone but myself… I certainly regard it as quite the best – and certainly the ‘most sincere’ – of all my work.” Although Tchaikovsky declined to articulate the specifics of the program he attached to this symphony – “Let them guess at it!” he wrote to Davidov – many scholars and critics agree that this passionate\, highly emotional music is a declaration of forbidden love; specifically\, that of Tchaikovsky for Davidov. Tchaikovsky’s title for the symphony supports this idea. According to scholar Alexander Poznansky\, Tchaikovsky’s title\, ‘Pateticheskaya simfoniya’ (ПатетичеÑ_x0081_каÑ_x008f_ Ñ_x0081_имфониÑ_x008f_)\, is “roughly equivalent to the title that Beethoven gave to his Sonata in F minor\, Op. 57—’Apassionata.’ The passionate overtones of the Russian title are not adequately conveyed in its better-known French equivalent – ‘Symphonie pathétique\,’ with its connotations of suffering and sorrow.” Biographer John Warrack agrees: “The Russian word … carries more feeling of ‘passionate’ or ‘emotional’ in it than the English ‘pathetic\,’ and perhaps an overtone\, which has largely vanished from our world… of ‘suffering.’ \n\n\n\nAs a closeted homosexual man living in a homophobic society\, Tchaikovsky was well-acquainted with suffering. He also battled crippling bouts of depression throughout his life\, which were exacerbated by relentless societal pressures to keep his sexuality secret. Some years earlier\, in 1877\, Tchaikovsky encountered Antonina Ivanova Milyukova\, a former Conservatory student obsessed with her one-time professor. She sent Tchaikovsky several impassioned letters\, which alarmed the composer; eventually\, Milyukova threatened to kill herself if Tchaikovsky did not return her affection. This untenable situation\, combined with Tchaikovsky’s tortured feelings about his sexual orientation and his desire to silence gossip about it\, led to a hasty\, ill-advised union. Tchaikovsky fled from Milyukova a month after the wedding (their marriage officially ended after three months\, although they were never divorced). Tchaikovsky subsequently suffered a nervous breakdown and was unable to work for the next three years. \n\n\n\nThe Sixth Symphony’s Adagio-Allegro ma non-troppo begins with a forbidding bassoon solo sounding the primary theme. After the slow Adagio\, the strings burst in with an agitated restatement of the bassoon solo\, followed by a contrasting theme of melancholy nostalgia. The movement descends into chaos as the themes are developed\, ripped apart\, and jumbled in a tempest of sound. A solemn brass chorale with pizzicato string accompaniment draws the movement to a close. In the Allegro con grazia\, the strings present a graceful waltz in the unusual meter 5/4. Although the overall mood of this movement is lighter than that of the first\, Tchaikovsky infuses the music with a strong sense of sadness and hints of romantic despair. The vigorous march of the Allegro molto vivace offsets the melancholy of the first two movements. This powerful\, vigorous music boldly proclaims itself with insouciant swagger. Anguished cries from the strings begin the Adagio lamentoso-Andante. This music succumbs to its own beautifully crafted fatalism\, laden with pain and lamentation. The strings are interrupted by a blast from the brasses\, after which the strings continue on their mournful way to a subdued conclusion\, in which there is no hint of a happy ending. \n\n\n\nDespite Tchaikovsky’s status as the preeminent Russian composer of his time\, the premiere of the Sixth Symphony\, which he conducted\, was not an instant success. In a letter to his publisher\, Tchaikovsky wrote\, “It is very strange about this symphony. It was not exactly a failure\, but it was received with some hesitation.” Symphonies that end quietly often leave audiences puzzled or unsettled (Brahms’ Third has the same problem). After the second performance\, which took place just days after Tchaikovsky’s death\, the Sixth received an overwhelmingly positive ovation. The unconventional ending became\, in the ears of audiences and critics\, indelibly associated with the composer’s death – as if Tchaikovsky had written his own demise. There is no documentary evidence to support this idea\, but the romance of a composer writing his own musical epitaph has proved durable\, if inaccurate. The Sixth Symphony soon came to be regarded as a symphonic masterpiece and remains Tchaikovsky’s most popular symphony. \n\n\n\n © Elizabeth Schwartz \n\n\n\nNOTE: These program notes are published here by the Santa Rosa Symphony for its patrons and otherinterested readers.

Commissioned by The Dream Unfinished\, a benefit for civil rightsWORLD PREMIERE: James Blachly conducted the first performance on July 17\, 2015\, at the Salvation Army’s Centennial Memorial Temple in New York CityINSTRUMENTATION: 2 flutes\, 2 oboes\, 2 clarinets\, 2 bassoons\, 4 horns\, 3 trumpets\, 3 trombones (1 doubling bass trombone)\, tuba\, timpani\, anvil\, bass drum\, brake drum\, chain\, cowbells\, crash cymbal\, frame drum\, glockenspiel\, hi-hat\, kick drum\, ride cymbal\, snare drum\, temple blocks\, tom toms\, whip\, and stringsESTIMATED DURATION: 8 minutes For the past several seasons\, the Santa Rosa Symphony has presented works by the acclaimed composer Jessie Montgomery. In this concert\, we continue showcasing Montgomery’s innovative voice. Her work combines classical language with elements of vernacular music\, improvisation\, language\, and social justice. The resulting music has earned Montgomery rave reviews for her “vibrantly inventive original works for strings” (ClassicsToday.com) and numerous awards\, including the ASCAP Foundation’s Leonard Bernstein Award. Montgomery’s works are performed frequently around the world by leading musicians and ensembles. In May 2021\, Montgomery began her three-year appointment as the Mead Composer-in-Residence with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. \n\n\n\nSince 1999\, Montgomery has been affiliated with The Sphinx Organization\, which supports young African-American and Latinx string players\, and has served as composer-in-residence for the Sphinx Virtuosi\, the Organization’s flagship professional touring ensemble. She was awarded a generous MPower grant to assist in the development of her 2016 debut album\, Strum: Music for Strings (Azica). In 2019\, the New York Philharmonic selected Montgomery as one of the featured composers for its Project 19\, which marks the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment granting American women the right to vote. \n\n\n\n“Soul Force is a one-movement symphonic work which attempts to portray the notion of a voice that struggles to be heard beyond the shackles of oppression\,” Montgomery writes. “The music takes on the form of a march which begins with a single voice and gains mass as it rises to a triumphant goal. Drawing on elements of popular African-American musical styles such as big-band jazz\, funk\, hip-hop\, and R+B\, the piece pays homage to the cultural contributions\, the many voices\, which have risen against aggressive forces to create an indispensable cultural place.” \n\n\n\n“I have drawn the work’s title from Dr. Martin Luther King’s ‘I Have a Dream’ speech in which he states: ‘We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again\, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.’”  \n\n\n\n\nRalph Vaughan Williams – Flos Campi (Flowers of the Field/I Am the Rose of Sharon) Suite for Viola\, Orchestra & Chorus\nCOMPOSER: born October 12\, 1872\, Down Ampney\, England; died August 26\, 1958\, LondonWORK COMPOSED: Written for and dedicated to violist Lionel Tertis in 1925WORLD PREMIERE: Sir Henry Wood led the Queen’s Hall Orchestra with violist Lionel Tertis and singers from the Royal College of Music on October 10\, 1925 in LondonINSTRUMENTATION: solo viola\, small SATB wordless chorus\, flute (doubling piccolo)\, oboe\, clarinet\, bassoon\, horn\, trumpet\, bass drum\, cymbals\, snare drum\, triangle\, celesta\, harp\, and stringsESTIMATED DURATION: 20 minutes  “[Ravel] … paid me the compliment of telling me that I was the only pupil who ‘n’écrit pas de ma musique’ [didn’t write my music].” – Ralph Vaughan Williams In the winter of 1907-08\, Ralph Vaughan Williams traveled to Paris to study composition with Maurice Ravel. For the next three months\, Vaughan Williams\, who was three months older than his teacher\, undertook an intensive course of study; the two men met several times a week and Vaughan Williams later credited Ravel for helping him find a clearer\, less dense\, coloristic approach to orchestration. A casual survey of Vaughan Williams’ music bears out the truth of Ravel’s comment\, quoted above\, that Vaughan Williams\, of all his students\, did not imitate the French composer’s style. \n\n\n\nVaughan Williams’s music cannot be easily categorized. His best-known early works – The Lark Ascending and Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis\, for example – have a pastoral\, dreamy\, folk-music-laden quality. Vaughan Williams’ later works sound entirely different; the raw power\, fury\, and consummate use of orchestral timbres in the Fourth Symphony\, for example\, sounds worlds away from the style of the earlier music. \n\n\n\nFlos Campi\, written in 1925\, occupies a category of its own. This unusual work\, a quasi-concerto for solo viola\, chorus\, and orchestra\, reflects Ravel’s tutelage\, particularly its use of wordless chorus phonating on the syllable “Ah\,” (Ravel used a wordless chorus in Daphnis et Chloé)\, as well as the subtle shadings of its harmonies. But the overall harmonic language is both unexpected and unique; nothing else in Vaughan Williams’ catalog sounds quite like it. \n\n\n\nVaughan Williams used texts from the Biblical Song of Songs as his inspiration for this exotic –  and in places erotic – love song. Each of Flos Campi’s six sections\, played without pause\, is paired with a particular quotation from the Song of Songs. In the original program notes\, Vaughan Williams included these quotes\, in Latin\, for the audience. In his third-person notes for a 1927 performance of Flos Campi\, Vaughan Williams explained how the music was received: “When this work was first produced two years ago\, the composer discovered that most people were not well enough acquainted with the Vulgate (or perhaps even its English equivalent) to enable them to complete for themselves the quotations from the Canticum Canticorum [Song of Songs]. Even the title and the source of the quotations gave rise to misunderstanding. The title Flos Campi was taken by some to connote an atmosphere of buttercups and daisies\, whereas in reality ‘flos Campi’ is the Vulgate equivalent of the Rose of Sharon (Ego flos campi\, et lilium convallium: “I am the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valleys.”) The Biblical source of the quotations also gave rise to the idea that the music had an ecclesiastical basis. This was not the intention of the composer.” 1.         Lento. (“As the lily among thorns\, so is my love among the daughters. Stay me with flagons\, comfort me with apples\, for I languish for love.”)2.         Andante con moto. (“For lo\, the winter is past\, the rain is over and gone\, the flowers appear on the earth\, the time of the singing of birds come\, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.”)3.         Lento\, senza misura. (“I sought him whom my soul loveth\, but I found him not. I charge you\, O daughters of Jerusalem\, if ye find my beloved\, tell him that I am sick from love. Whither is thy beloved gone\, O thou fairest among women? Whither is thy beloved turned aside? That we may seek him with thee.”)4.         Moderato alla Marcia. (“Behold his bed which is Solomon’s\, three score valiant men are about it. They all hold swords\, being experts in war.”)5.         Andante quasi lento. (“Return\, Shulamite! Return\, return that we may look upon thee. How beautiful are thy feet with shoes\, O Prince’s daughter.”)6.         Moderato tranquillo. (“Set me as a seal upon thine heart.”) \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nLudwig Van Beethoven – Symphony No. 9 in D minor\, Op. 125 “Choral”\nCOMPOSER: born December 16\, 1770\, Bonn\, Germany; died March 26\, 1827\, ViennaWORK COMPOSED: Beethoven made preliminary sketches in 1817-18\, but most of the music was composed between 1822–24. Beethoven finished his Ninth Symphony in February 1824 and dedicated it to King Frederick William III of Prussia.WORLD PREMIERE: Beethoven conducted the first performance on May 7\, 1824\, at the Kärntnerthor Theater in Vienna.INSTRUMENTATION: soprano\, alto\, tenor\, and bass soloists\, four-part mixed chorus\, piccolo\, 2 flutes\, 2 oboes\, 2 clarinets\, 2 bassoons\, contrabassoon\, 4 horns\, 2 trumpets\, 3 trombones\, timpani\, bass drum\, cymbals triangle and strings.ESTIMATED DURATION: 70 minutes The Ninth Symphony extends beyond the realm of the concert hall and has permeated Western culture on many levels\, including socio-political and commercial arenas. The music of the Ninth\, particularly the “Ode to Joy” melody of the final movement\, is so familiar to us that it has lost its unique character and taken on the quality of folk music; that is\, it has shed its “composed” identity as a melody written by Ludwig van Beethoven and simply exists within the communal ear of our collective consciousness. \n\n\n\nWhile some classical works are inextricably linked to the time in which they were written\, Beethoven’s profound musical statements about freedom\, equality\, and humanity resonate just as powerfully today as they did at the Ninth’s premiere. This was evident to the entire world just over 30 years ago\, when Leonard Bernstein conducted an international assembly of instrumentalists and singers in a historic performance of Beethoven’s Ninth at East Berlin’s Schauspielhaus (now Konzerthaus) on December 22\, 1989\, three days after the fall of the Berlin Wall. To emphasize the historic event\, Bernstein substituted the word “freedom” for “joy” in the famous lyrics by the poet Friedrich Schiller in the final movement. The performance was broadcast on television worldwide\, attracting more than 200 million viewers. \n\n\n\nBy 1822\, Beethoven was completely deaf and emotionally isolated. Five years earlier\, at the age of 47\, he had written in his journal\, “Before my departure for the Elysian fields I must leave behind me what the Eternal Spirit has infused into my soul and bids me complete.” Alone and embittered\, Beethoven focused almost exclusively on his musical legacy. \n\n\n\nThe lofty salute to the human spirit expressed in Schiller’s poem An die Freude (To Joy) had resonated with Beethoven for many years; in 1790 he set a few lines in a cantata written to commemorate the death of Emperor Leopold II; he also included portions of Schiller’s poem in his opera Fidelio. “The search for a way to express joy\,” as Beethoven described it\, was the subject of his final symphony. To that end\, Beethoven edited and arranged Schiller’s lines to suit his musical and dramatic needs\, using a melody from the Choral Fantasy he had written 20 years earlier. \n\n\n\nThe symphony opens with the strings sounding a series of hollow open chords\, neither major or minor\, which are harmonically ambiguous – what key is this? The fifths build into a massive statement featuring a weighty dotted rhythmic theme. The power and intensity of this movement foreshadows the finale. \n\n\n\nAs was his wont\, Beethoven broke with symphonic convention by writing a second-movement scherzo. The music bursts forth with dramatic string octaves and pounding timpani. The main theme\, a contrapuntal fugue\, gives way to a demure wind melody. Underneath its playful simplicity\, the barely contained agitation of the scherzo pulses in the strings\, like a racehorse pawing at the starting gate. \n\n\n\nIn a symphony synonymous with innovation\, Beethoven’s most significant departure from convention is the inclusion\, for the first time\, of a chorus and vocal soloists in a formerly exclusively instrumental genre. The cellos and basses play an instrumental recitative\, later sung by the baritone\, which is followed by the unaccompanied “Joy” melody. Beethoven then presents several instrumental variations\, including a triumphal brass fanfare. The baritone soloist introduces Schiller’s poem with words of Beethoven’s: “O friends\, not these tones; instead\, let us strike up more pleasing and joyful ones.” The chorus repeats the last four lines of each stanza as a refrain\, followed by the vocal quartet. A famous interlude\, the Turkish March\, follows (this music was considered “Turkish” because of the inclusion of the triangle\, cymbals and bass drum\, exotic additions to the orchestra of Beethoven’s time). After a number of variations\, the chorus returns with a monumental concluding double fugue.  \n\n\n\n\n\n © Elizabeth Schwartz \n\n\n\nNOTE: These program notes are published here by the Santa Rosa Symphony for its patrons and otherinterested readers.

During those 19 years\, she worked closely with music directors Corrick Brown and later Jeffrey Kahane. Polly remained a loyal and generous symphony patron until the time of her recent passing.  \n\n\n\nAs the symphony’s stage manager for over two decades\, Dave Badella was devoted to our orchestra musicians and to our crew and staff. His conscientious work and attention to detail resulted in the utmost care of all the symphony’s productions.  \n\n\n\nPolly and David\, each in their own way\, made many valuable and lasting positive contributions that will long be appreciated. They will be fondly remembered and deeply missed by all of us.   \n\n\n\nAbout the Concert\n\n\n\nRachmaninoff’s bold\, rich Second Symphony paired with the symphonic splendor from Gone with the Wind. \n\n\n\nConcert Conversations with Francesco Lecce-Chong\n\n\n\nConcert Conversations are general seating and free to Classical Series concert ticket holders.

The following year\, Waxman took home his second Academy Award\, for George Stevens’ A Place In The Sun\, a cinematic version of Theodore Dreiser’s 1925 novel An American Tragedy\, starring Elizabeth Taylor\, Montgomery Clift\, and Shelley Winters. Including his two wins\, Waxman was also nominated for 12 Academy Awards\, for Suspicion\, Rebecca\, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde\, and A Nun’s Story\, among others. Waxman also composed scores for The Bride of Frankenstein\, Stalag 17\, To Have and Have Not\, Rear Window\, Mister Roberts\, Peyton Place\, and Taras Bulba. \n\n\n\nIn addition to his work in Hollywood\, Waxman founded and directed the Los Angeles Music Festival from 1947 until his death. During his tenure\, the festival hosted the world and American premieres of some 80 works by Igor Stravinsky\, Ralph Vaughan Williams\, Dmitri Shostakovich\, and Arnold Schoenberg\, among others. \n\n\n\nIn some ways Waxman was an unlikely choice as a composer for a film based on true events about a Catholic nun in 1920s Belgium who struggles with her vocation. As a German Jew\, Waxman had no love for the Catholic Church\, particularly because of its official “neutrality” during World War II\, and Pope Pius VII’s refusal to condemn the persecution and genocide of European Jews under Hitler. Waxman and Fred Zinneman\, director of The Nun’s Story\, also clashed over Waxman’s score. \n\n\n\nZinnemann recalled\, “While Franz Waxman was scoring the picture\, I discovered he had a deep dislike for the Catholic Church\, and this was coming across in his music. The theme he wrote for the convent scenes would have been more appropriate for scenes set in a dungeon\, so I got him to write another.” Despite his personal feelings about the Church\, however\, Waxman did more than due diligence with the score\, basing the music on Gregorian chants he had researched in the Papal Library in Rome. \n\n\n\nIn 1959\, after it premiered\, The Nun’s Story became Warner Brothers’ most financially successful film\, grossing more than seven million dollars. Audrey Hepburn\, who starred as Gabrielle van der Mal/Sister Luke\, was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance. “The music which Franz Waxman has composed for The Nun’s Story bears the same kind of overflowing honesty and womanly emotion that characterizes Audrey Hepburn herself in the role of Sister Luke\,” remarked Henry Blanke\, the film’s producer. “Waxman’s music tells the story with warmth and understanding. Just as Sister Luke seeks a level of unquestioning obedience and discipline\, so has Waxman sought and found the various moods of happiness\, dedication\, indecision\, and agonizing failure in her struggle for perfection. He has carried Ms. Hepburn through her novitiate to the accompaniment of the powerful music of the church\, through her hazardous assignment as a nurse in an insane asylum with the music of madness tempered by the dutiful serenity of the nuns.” \n\n\n\nThe Suite on tonight’s program includes a Finale that Zinnemann ultimately cut from the score. The final scene shows Sister Luke leaving the convent and returning to the world. When Jack Warner asked Zinnemann why he removed the music\, Zinnemann shrewdly responded\, “What kind of music do you want at the end of the picture? If the music expresses gloom\, it will imply that it is too bad that Sister Luke left the convent. If it is joyful\, people will think that Warner Bros. is encouraging nuns to leave the convent. And so the movie ends in silence\, the way I wanted it to.” \n\n\n\n MAX STEINERSuite from Gone With The Wind \n\n\n\nCOMPOSER: born May 10\, 1888\, in Vienna; died December 28\, 1971\, Hollywood\, CAWORK COMPOSED: March through May 1939WORLD PREMIERE: Gone With The Wind was first screened in Atlanta\, at Loew’s Grand Theatre\, on December 15\, 1939INSTRUMENTATION: 3 flutes (1 doubling piccolo)\, 2 oboes\, English horn\, 2 clarinets\, bass clarinet\, 2 bassoons\, contrabassoon\, 4 horns\, 4 trumpets\, 3 trombones\, tuba\, timpani\, percussion\, piano/celesta\, 2 harps\, and stringsESTIMATED DURATION: 15 minutes \n\n\n\nThe life of pioneering film composer Max Steiner would make a terrific biopic; the only problem is that the only person who could do justice to the score for such a project is Steiner himself. Then again\, a typical two-hour movie could hardly encompass the events of Steiner’s long life\, which stretched from the Vienna of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the sun-drenched Hollywood of the 1960s. \n\n\n\nSteiner\, dubbed “the father of film music\,” was born into a well-connected theatrical family with deep roots in Vienna. Steiner demonstrated prodigal musical talent as a child\, and he took piano and music lessons from both Johannes Brahms and Gustav Mahler; Richard Strauss was the boy’s godfather. Steiner’s father Gabor\, a theater manager and inventor (he built Vienna’s iconic Riesenrad\, an enormous Ferris wheel in Vienna’s Prater amusement park)\, encouraged his son’s abilities; when Max became bored with piano\, he started improvising\, which eventually evolved into full-fledged composing. \n\n\n\nSteiner started his professional music career as a teenager conducting operettas in London and moved to that city in 1906. Over the next eight years\, he began composing his own works as well as conducting others\, including Lehar’s The Merry Widow. When World War I began in August 1914\, Steiner was classified as an enemy alien and interred in a camp with other German and Austrian citizens. Fortunately\, Steiner had influential friends who were able to get him the documents he needed to move to the United States. \n\n\n\nSteiner spent the next 11 years in New York conducting\, directing\, orchestrating\, and arranging music for Broadway. In 1915 he became one of the first music directors for an independent film studio\, Fox Films (now 20th Century-Fox). There he wrote what might be the first score to use original music specially written to accompany a film\, for 1916’s The Bondman (Steiner’s score required 110 musicians who performed live at each screening). Steiner continued working on Broadway until 1929 when he was hired by RKO to head their music department. In 1933\, Steiner’s score for King Kong became his first breakout success; the score’s emotional power dramatizes the admittedly thin plot in a way never seen or heard before in film. Producers who had been unwilling to spend a lot of money on music saw how much Steiner’s score enhanced King Kong’s blockbuster success; soon films in all genres included original music heard throughout the majority of the film’s running time. \n\n\n\nFor Steiner\, King Kong afforded an opportunity to create specific musical themes for each character\, a technique he admired in the music of Richard Wagner. These themes\, or leitmotifs\, became the basic principle around which he composed all his film music over the next four decades. \n\n\n\nWhen producer David O. Selznick asked Steiner to write the music for Gone With The Wind in March 1939\, he gave Steiner just three months for the job. Steiner\, who was writing scores for several other films at the time\, worked upwards of 20 hours a day\, popping Benzedrine pills to keep going. The music features leitmotifs for the main characters\, but the most memorable music in the film is the theme Steiner wrote for Scarlett O’Hara’s home\, Tara; thanks to Steiner\, Tara becomes an additional character in the story. The “Tara” theme begins the film\, is heard throughout the story and sounds over the final scene and credits. In addition to the original music\, Steiner also quotes fragments from “Taps\,” “Dixie\,” and other music from the Civil War period. \n\n\n\nSteiner won three Academy Awards for Best Film Score (for The Informer; Now\, Voyager\, and Since You Went Away). Gone With The Wind was nominated in 13 categories and won eight; perhaps the only reason Steiner’s music didn’t earn him a fourth Oscar is that one of the other films nominated in 1939 was The Wizard of Oz. The American Film Institute ranks Steiner’s music for Gone With The Wind as the second-best film score of all time\, behind John Williams’ Star Wars. \n\n\n\nSERGEI RACHMANINOFFSymphony No. 2 in E minor\, Op. 27 \n\n\n\nCOMPOSER: born April 1\, 1873\, Oneg\, Russia; died March 28\, 1943\, Beverly Hills\, CAWORK COMPOSED: 1906-07. Rachmaninoff dedicated it to his composing teacher\, Sergei TaneyevWORLD PREMIERE: February 7\, 1908\, in St. Petersburg\, with Rachmaninoff conductingINSTRUMENTATION: 3 flutes (1 doubling piccolo)\, 3 oboes (1 doubling English horn)\, 2 clarinets\, bass clarinet\, 2 bassoons\, 4 horns\, 3 trumpets\, 3 trombones\, tuba\, timpani\, bass drum\, cymbals\, glockenspiel\, snare drum\, and stringsESTIMATED DURATION: 43 minutes Artists of all types have a love-hate relationship with critics: they need the exposure criticism brings to their work\, but often scorn the critiques themselves. Other artists take criticism too much to heart and let it affect them to a debilitating degree\, which was the case with Sergei Rachmaninoff. After the premiere of Rachmaninoff’s first symphony\, he was so savaged by critics that he did not dare compose a note for three years. Eventually\, Rachmaninoff consulted a doctor\, Nicolai Dahl\, who used hypnotism to bolster Rachmaninoff’s flagging confidence. Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto was dedicated to Dahl\, and it vindicated Rachmaninoff as a composer by becoming one of his most popular works. \n\n\n\nAfter the success of the Second Piano Concerto\, Rachmaninoff felt ready to tackle another symphony\, and in 1906 he began work on his second. The writing was difficult for him\, as he reported in a letter to a friend\, and the work proceeded slowly. The final version lasted over an hour\, although Rachmaninoff later suggested a number of performance cuts that shorten it by as much as 20 minutes; these cuts have become standard when programming this symphony today. Although Rachmaninoff\, out of necessity\, agreed to the cuts\, which amounted to some 300 measures of music\, he later confided to conductor Eugene Ormandy\, “You don’t know what cuts do to me. It is like cutting a piece out of my heart.” Rachmaninoff might have appreciated the words of one critic\, who wrote at the symphony’s premiere\, “After listening with unflagging attention to its four movements\, one notes with surprise that the hands of the watch have moved sixty-five minutes forward. This may be slightly overlong for the general audience\, but how fresh\, how beautiful it is!” \n\n\n\nThe symphony opens with a darkly murmuring theme played by the lower strings\, a theme that forms the basis for the remainder of the first movement\, as well as much of the rest of the symphony. The violins contrast with a lyrical melody\, followed by a plaintive solo for the English horn. Throughout this movement\, Rachmaninoff uses solo instruments as structural signposts\, indicating changes in mood or harmonic foundations. \n\n\n\nThe horns launch the Scherzo with a bold\, energetic theme\, and the strings continue with a bouncier\, skipping melody. These are contrasted by a series of interludes\, one unabashedly romantic\, and others feverishly intense. As was his wont in many of his orchestral works\, including the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini\, Rachmaninoff includes the Dies irae melody (Day of Wrath) from the Requiem Mass; it appears here in the coda to the trio. \n\n\n\nIn the Adagio\, Rachmaninoff’s signature romanticism is heard in the violin’s opening melody\, which could easily serve as the love song in a cinematic romance. In fact\, 1970s pop singer Eric Carmen wrote a hit song based on this theme\, “Never Gonna Fall in Love Again.” \n\n\n\nFor the Finale\, Rachmaninoff unleashes a whirlwind of vibrant joy. Buoyant strings recall the Scherzo\, but this music is abruptly interrupted by the stark call of muted horns. We then hear snatches of music from previous movements\, especially the Scherzo and the Adagio. The strings\, playing in the style of the Italian tarantella\, are the foundation for this movement\, and its energy drives the symphony forward to a triumphant conclusion.             © Elizabeth Schwartz \n\n\n\nNOTE: These program notes are published here by the Santa Rosa Symphony for its patrons and otherinterested readers.

To support the tour\, we’re hosting a special fundraising event\, “Painted Violins” during all three Classical Series performances of The Planets (May 3\, 4 & 5\, 2025) at Weill Hall\, Green Music Center. \n\n\n\nEighteen Sonoma County artists have transformed stringed instruments into unique works of art. These pieces will be displayed (six per performance) for a silent auction\, with bidding taking place before the concert and during intermission. Bidding closes after intermission\, and winners will be announced immediately after the concert. \n\n\n\nBidders must be present and prepared to pay for and take possession of the art at the end of the performance. Your winning bid is a fully tax-deductible donation. \n\n\n\nProceeds from the silent auction will help us reach our final fundraising goal of $100\,000 for the Santa Rosa Symphony Youth Orchestra’s tour of Germany & The Netherlands. \n\n\n\n\nSee the Violins!\n\n\n\n\nSpotify Playlist\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlan Your Visit\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n Program Notes \n \n \n\n Learn about Discovery Rehearsal \n \n \n\n Directions & More \n \n \n\n Seating Map \n \n \n\n Before the Concert \n \n \n\n At the Concert \n \n \n\n Dining & Hotels \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe gratefully acknowledge the generous contributions from the following:\n\n\n\nClassical Series underwritten by Anderman Family FoundationSponsored by The Peggy Anne Covington FundConductor Francesco Lecce-Chong sponsored by David & Corinne ByrdOrion Weiss sponsored by Sara & Edward KozelYoung Women’s Chorus of San Francisco sponsored by Linda & David HanesDiscovery Rehearsal Series sponsored by The Stare Foundation and David Stare of Dry Creek VineyardPre-concert talk sponsored by Jamei Haswell & Mack SchwingSeason Media Sponsor: The Press Democrat \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrograms\, dates\, artists\, and prices are subject to change without notice.
