Contact Education Director Kirsten Lipkens if you are interested. \n  \nProgram Notes\n[toggles]\n[toggle title=”Dior: Brush Up for snare drum” color=”Extra-Color-1″ id=”b1″] Performed by Nathan Lassell \n“Brush Up” by Rick Dior contains a panoply of brush techniques drawing on the traditions of jazz and latin music. The composer includes notation for: brush taps\, rim flutters\, slides\, staccato sweeps\, one-handed tremolos\, flat brush shots\, and left hand swirls. This through-composed improvisation is really fun to play! – Program notes by Nathan Lassell[/toggle]\n[toggle title=”Beethoven: String Quartet No. 8\, Op. 59 No.2\, Movement III\, Allegretto – Maggiore” color=”Extra-Color-1″ id=”b2″] Performed by the String Quartet \nThis is the Scherzo movement of this quartet by Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 – 1827)\, which in Haydn and Mozart quartets was a Menuet or dance movement. Beethoven introduced the Scherzo or more playful joke like movement. Again\, there are sudden changes of dynamics\, and rhythms. The Maggiore (major key) trio section includes a Theme russe (Russian theme)\, since the three op. 59 quartets were commissioned in 1805 by Count Razumovsky\, the Russian ambassador to Vienna. The original song is a very patriotic song sung by soldiers: “Glory to you\, God in the heavens\, Glory! To our Tsar on this earth\, Glory!” Beethoven starts the theme in piano (very soft) followed by a crescendo (gradually getting louder) to a spiky sforzando (accent) and a retreat back to piano (soft). One after the other the soldiers join in. The instruments alternate playing the melody\, until there is a riotous free- for-all. Suddenly it all changes to piano (soft) and the spiky short strokes change to a smooth legato bow stroke. A very unusual direction for this movement is to repeat the whole movement twice and even then go back to the beginning section. It might have been to emphasize the Russian theme which is presented 13 times in the Maggiore section. The Austrians and Russians were fighting against Napoleon at this time\, so Beethoven and Razumovsky were allies. The Op. 59 quartets were written in an unstable time in Vienna\, and Beethoven might have wanted to emphasize the Russian folk song. – Program notes by Marsha Harbison[/toggle]\n[toggle title=”Beethoven: String Trio in E-flat Major\, Op.3″ color=”Extra-Color-1″ id=”b3″] Performed by the String Trio \nII. Andante\nIII. Menuetto \nLudwig van Beethoven (1770 – 1827) is rightly considered to be the greatest composer in the genre of the string quartet. But before he attempted his first string quartets (the op. 18’s)\, he composed five string trios. The earliest one\, op. 3\, was composed in Vienna in 1794 when he was just 23 years old. \nThis trio is patterned on Mozart’s monumental Divertimento K. 563 for violin\, viola and cello. It is in the same key and follows the same scheme for a 6-movement piece that features two separate minuet movements. \nMovement II is an elegant Andante. Movement III is the first of the minuet movements. In this minuet\, the quirky rhythmic patterns in the unexpected rests show some of Beethoven’s humorous side. – Program notes by Beth Welty[/toggle]\n[toggle title=”Pratt: Cider Jug & Conquering Legions of Rome” color=”Extra-Color-1″ id=”b4″] Performed by the Percussion Trio \nThese two rudimental drum solos\, “Cider Jug” and “The Conquering Legions of Rome\,” are from a collection published in 1985 called “The New Pratt Book.” The bass drum parts were composed by Robert McEwan for this performance. John S. Pratt (1931-2020) is one of the most revered and influential figures in American rudimental drumming. He was\, most notably\, a member of the West Point Field Music Unit\, also known as “The Hellcats\,” and became an instructor and composer for the group in 1959\, earning praise from none other than Leopold Stokowski. Pratt’s many solos are considered pillars of any percussionist’s repertoire. – Program notes by Nathan Lassell \n[/toggle]\n[toggle title=”Dohnányi: Serenade\, Op. 10″ color=”Extra-Color-1″ id=”b5″] Performed by the String Trio \nI. Marcia\nII. Romanza \nErnő Dohnányi (1877-1960)\, grandfather of conductor Christoph von Dohnányi\, was a Hungarian composer\, pianist\, and conductor. \nThis piece was written in 1902 and premiered in Vienna in 1904. Serenades are instrumental compositions that generally lighter in mood and usually have many movements to them. Composers have written pieces in this format since before the classical era. Dohnányi takes this very old musical form and makes it sound more modern with his harmonies\, which are beautiful but definitely of the 20th century. Like Beethoven’s second string trio\, op 8\, (also titled Serenade)\, he begins with a short March\, some of which will return in the last movement of the piece. This is followed by the slower\, lyrical Romanza. – Program notes by Beth Welty[/toggle]\n[toggle title=”Zivkovic: Trio Per Uno” color=”” id=””] Performed by the Percussion Trio \nII. Contemplativo – for vibes\, marimba crotales\, glass chimes\, cymbal and rain stick (5:30)\nIII. Molto energico \nTrio Per Uno by Nebojša Jovan Živković (born 1962) consists of three movements. The edge-movements have some similarities in manner and appears as if they would represent a perfection of wildness in an archaic ritual cult. The second movement has its own special lyric and contemplative mood. The opening requires a bass drum (lying flat) played with timbale sticks by all three players. In addition to that sound\, a pair of bongos and china-gongs are used by each player. \nContemplative (Movement II). This movement is hypnotic in its modal (at times Locrian or Phrygian) far eastern sounding marimba ostinato and eerie vibraphone melodic lines. In contrast\, the percussion part is completely independent\, featuring a variety of interesting instruments: Rain stick\, glass chimes\, crotales (small thick cymbals of definite pitch) that are both struck and (near the end of the movement ) bowed. We invite the audience to embark on their own meditative journey! \nMolto energico (Movement III) with its thumping tom-toms and vocal outbursts conveys a ritual ceremony of primitive ferocity. The mixed meters with random accents suggest a cultish dance deep in the heart of a jungle outpost. Try not to get up and dance or scream – Program notes by Martin Kluger[/toggle]\n[/toggles]\n[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default”

Andante.” color=”Extra-Color-1″ id=”b1″] Performed by the String Quartet \nThis is the most famous movement of the quartets by Alexander Borodin (1833 – 1887). It features a beautiful romantic melody in the cello\, an agitated middle section\, then a peaceful restatement of the main theme in canon (first the cello and the first violin\, then between the two violins). \nMany themes of this quartet were adapted into the 1953 Broadway musical\, Kismet. It was also used in the score to Disney’s 2006 short\, The Little Matchgirl. Excerpts of the piece were also played in the first episode of Star Trek: Discovery. \nBorodin was a famous Russian composer\, who was part of the group called the Mighty Five\, which included Mussorgsky and Rimsky-Korsakov. He was a famous research chemist\, professor\, and founded a medical school for women in 1872. \nIt is fitting to include Borodin’s romantic Russian music\, as we have a Russian cellist\, Boris Kogan\, in the quartet. – Program notes by Marsha Harbison[/toggle]\n[toggle title=”Debussy: Dr. Gradus ad Parnassum” color=”Extra-Color-1″ id=”b2″] Performed by the Percussion Trio \nNotes to come[/toggle]\n[toggle title=”Mozart: String Duo No. 1 in G Major for violin and viola\, K. 423″ color=”Extra-Color-1″ id=”b3″] Performed by the String Trio \nI. Allegro\nII. Adagio \nThe string trio playing the first and second movements of this three-movement work by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 – 1791). It is one of only two pieces Mozart composed for this combination\, the other being the duo in Bb\, K. 424. \nK. 423 and 424 were composed in Salzburg in 1783 as a favor to his friend Michael Haydn\, who was ill and unable to complete a commission from the Archbishop of Salzburg\, who had asked for six duos for violin and viola. Haydn had only been able to complete four of them\, and the Archbishop threatened to withhold his salary until all six were completed. Mozart gave these to Haydn to pass off as his own. \nMozart played both violin and viola\, but he preferred the viola. In this piece\, you will hear that the viola part is every bit as difficult and interesting as the violin part\, and is not treated as merely an accompaniment. – Program notes by Beth Welty[/toggle]\n[toggle title=”Sammut: Libertango – Variations on Marimba” color=”Extra-Color-1″ id=”b4″] Performed by Nathan Lassell\, marimba\, and Robert McEwan\, cajon \nEric Sammut’s variations on Astor Piazzolla’s “Libertango” introduces and embellishes a beautiful descending progression with growing fervor and passion. Our addition of a cajon\, originally a Peruvian instrument\, is a nod to its use in tango and flamenco settings. French-born percussionist Eric Sammut (b. 1968) is a member of Orchestre de Paris\, educator at the Royal Academy of Music in London and a master marimbist and international clinician. – Program notes by Nathan Lassell[/toggle]\n[toggle title=”Beethoven: String Quartet No. 16 in F major\, Op. 135\, Movement IV\, Grave\, ma non troppo tratto – Allegro” color=”Extra-Color-1″ id=”b5″] Performed by the String Quartet \nThis is the last movement of the last quartet by Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 – 1827). After the title\, he writes the motif of the Grave with the words\, “Muss es sein?” (Must it be?) with the somber low notes introduced in the viola and cello with an upward interval\, as in a question. He also writes the answering motif from the Allegro (lively tempo)\, “Es muss sein!” with the notes inverted\, going down\, in a lively tempo and in a major key (more joyful). As the movement progresses\, the harmonies move into weird areas and entrances seem to divert to chaos\, but it ends with a playful melody with pizzicato (plucked) accompaniment. There is much speculation about the meaning of the title of this movement\, “Der schwer gefasste Entschluss (The difficult decision)\,” the question and the answer. Beethoven wrote to his publisher that it had given him much trouble to compose the last movement of his last quartet\, but the feeling of triumph is unmistakable. – Program notes by Marsha Harbison[/toggle]\n[toggle title=”Zivkovic: Trio Per Uno\, Movement I\, Meccanico” color=”” id=””] Performed by the Percussion Trio \nTrio Per Uno by Nebojša Jovan Živković (born 1962) consists of three movements. The edge-movements have some similarities in manner and appears as if they would represent a perfection of wildness in an archaic ritual cult. The second movement has its own special lyric and contemplative mood. The opening requires a bass drum (lying flat) played with timbale sticks by all three players. In addition to that sound\, a pair of bongos and china-gongs are used by each player. \nMeccanico (Movement I)\, with its relentless 16th note and 32nd note rhythms\, alternates between unison pulsations and antiphonal outbursts traded back and forth among the 3 percussionists. I hear this as a percussion machine that evolves into a grooving engine of celebratory drum sounds\, winding up as a climactic frenzy featuring clanging Chinese cymbals requiring a rather dazzling display of technical virtuosity. – Program note by Martin Kluger[/toggle]\n[/toggles]\n[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default”

But before he attempted his first string quartets (the op. 18’s)\, he composed five string trios. The earliest one\, op. 3\, was composed in Vienna in 1794 when he was just 23 years old. This trio is patterned on Mozart’s monumental Divertimento K. 563 for violin\, viola and cello. It is in the same key and follows the same scheme for a 6-movement piece that features two separate minuet movements. In this concert\, the string trio is playing the expansive first movement of the piece\, which begins with an energetic\, syncopated opening theme. – Program notes by Beth Welty[/toggle]\n[toggle title=”Beethoven: String Quartet in C minor\, Op. 18\, No.4\, Movement I\, Allegro\, ma non tanto” color=”Extra-Color-1″ id=”b2″] Performed by the String Quartet \nThis is representative of the early work of Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 – 1827)\, but differs from quartets of Haydn and Mozart by the use of unusual accents and uses of sudden dynamic changes.[/toggle]\n[toggle title=”Beethoven: Sonata No. 4 in Eb Major\, Op. 7\, arr. by Martin Kluger” color=”Extra-Color-1″ id=”b3″] Performed by the Percussion Trio \nFor 2 marimbas and 1 percussion (bass drum\, tom-tom\, snare drum\, temple blocks\, wood block\, triangle\, antique cymbal\, suspended cymbal and bells). Duration 9:00. \nOther than timpani\, Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 – 1827) rarely included percussion instruments in his symphonic works. Percussion simply wasn’t part of the late 18th/early 19th century Viennese style that Beethoven helped define and that defined his orchestral compositions. When he occasionally orchestrated for percussion\, as for the Turkish March section of his 9th Symphony or for his Wellington’s Victory\, those percussion sounds evoked specific references\, e.g.\, an outdoor Turkish marching band\, or muskets and other artillery sound effects. Still\, Beethoven was a pianist and his 32 fabulous Piano Sonatas are technically speaking\, written for a percussion instrument. \nSo by that measure\, perhaps it was not so much of a stretch to arrange this slow movement from Beethoven’s Fourth Sonata for Piano for percussion trio\, which I did in part to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth. While Beethoven’s groundbreaking\, innovative and often prominent writing for timpani in his nine symphonies is limited to one part of a magnificent whole\, this arrangement in contrast entrusts Beethoven’s entire artistic message to just the percussion section. The right- and left-hand parts on piano from the Largo con gran espressione (slow movement) fit comfortably onto the wooden bar keyboard of two marimbas; the warm tone of the magisterial opening theme made me wonder how it would sound rolled by soft yarn mallets on the lower marimba register\, and its ponderously slow tempo interrupted by frequent silences seemed the perfect musical rejoinder to our other loud or fast programming for percussion. Of course\, the non-pitched percussion part is entirely new. I imagine these sounds as living in the space in between the lower and upper staves of Beethoven’s piano part\, i.e.\, implied but not explicitly present\, and like a spice of an already delicious culinary dish\, adding flavor. There’s also a practical acoustic role for the non-pitched percussion instruments\, namely adding “sustain” and “depth”\, possible for a grand piano but less so for the marimba (unless the mallets roll\, which would be indicated as “tremolo” for piano). \nAs you listen\, try imagining each of the melodic-harmonic themes of this movement as a distinct dramatic character\, for example as in a play\, because you’ll hear an unfolding dialogue\, a musical story told by distinctive themes nearly operatic in contrast. The serious opening theme with its weighty silences\, is followed immediately by a new theme lighter in character ornamented to near frivolity\, which is followed by a third theme that moves forward in a yearning song-like fashion. Let you the listener decide which side of the dialogue prevails in the end\, Beethoven’s somber grandfather or his youthful somewhat frivolous granddaughter. – Program notes by Martin Kluger[/toggle]\n[toggle title=”Kodály: Intermezzo for String Trio” color=”Extra-Color-1″ id=”b4″] Performed by the String Trio \nZoltan Kodály (1882-1967) is considered to be one of the most important 20th century Hungarian composers after Bartok. Like Bartok\, he was very interested in collecting folk melodies from remote villages in Hungary and both made many contributions in the field of ethnomusicology. Folk music played a big role in Kodály’s compositions and also in his work as a musical pedagogue. The Kodály method is still used today in many places to teach musical skills to children. \nThe Intermezzo was composed in 1905\, right around the time he was collecting the folk melodies\, and their influence can be heard in the piece. It is a short one movement work. – Program notes by Beth Welty[/toggle]\n[toggle title=”Kluger: Sudoku 75 ” color=”Extra-Color-1″ id=”b5″] Performed by the Percussion Trio \nComposed by SSO Principal Timpanist Martin Kluger\, this piece is for three percussionists each playing nine instruments: three of skin\, three of metal and three of wood. Twenty-seven instruments used are: 1 bass drum (or very large tom-tom)\, 5 toms graduated in pitch\, 3 bongos\, 6 wood blocks\, 3 temple blocks\, 4 cowbells\, 2 triangles and 3 suspended cymbals. \nMarty writes:  \nDuring the pandemic I acquired the habit of starting my day with a Sudoku puzzle. The organization and style of this composition is inspired by the Sudoku puzzles I and many others find captivating. \nA Sudoku puzzle has 81 squares arranged into nine rows\, that overlap nine columns and nine nonets (3x 3 groupings of nine squares). At the start of a puzzle\, most squares are empty\, but in the course of solving a puzzle\, each square is filled with a single digit\, and each row\, column and nonet must contain all of the digits one through nine. So each nine digit sequence is non-repetitive and seemingly random\, but the placement of digits is governed by the fact that each of the 81 squares belongs to a row\, to a column and to a nonet. One morning before breakfast as I penciled in my Sudoku solution\, it struck me that these Sudoku sequences might furnish the raw material for composing a percussion trio\, since the organization of music similarly combines mathematical order with variety. \nIn my Sudoku music\, silence gradually becomes filled with sound\, just as Sudoku puzzle squares are gradually filled with the numbers one through nine. Hence\, the Sudoku pattern is expressed musically as percussion rhythms within a 9/8 time signature (that has nine possible eighth note positions per measure). My composition also has a more human element\, representing the flashes of insight and frequent obstacles encountered by the Sudoku puzzle devote exerting mental effort\, becoming alternatively frustrated and successful at making progress towards the puzzle’s solution. \nTry listening in this performance to how sounds gradually fill in the silence\, progressing from a sparse to a greater rhythmic density. Listen for metal\, wood or drum sounds from each player that form either an accompaniment\, or a solo line\, or a line passed from player to player. Listen for how the pace (tempo) of the music varies\, suggestive of rapid or slow progress in finding solutions. As a puzzle nears completion\, it becomes rather obvious how to fill in the few remaining empty squares\, so likewise in the final seconds of Sudoku 75 the assortment of percussive sounds and rhythms intensify for a fast finish to the piece. – Program notes by Martin Kluger[/toggle]\n[/toggles]\n[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default”
