THE CITY OF
BIRMINGHAM SYMPHONY
ORCHESTRA
Photo by Hannah Fathers
The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra
(CBSO) is the flagship of musical
life in Birmingham and the West Midlands,
and one of the world’s great orchestras.
Based in Symphony Hall, Birmingham,
the CBSO typically presents over 150 concerts
each year in Birmingham, the UK
and around the world, playing music that
ranges from classics to contemporary, film
scores and even symphonic disco. With a
far-reaching community programme and a
family of choruses and ensembles, it is involved
in every aspect of music-making in
the Midlands. But at its centre is a team of
90 superb professional musicians, and over
a 100-year tradition of making the world’s
greatest music in the heart of Birmingham.
That local tradition started with the
orchestra’s very first symphonic concert
in 1920—conducted by Sir Edward Elgar.
Ever since then, through war, recessions,
social change and civic renewal, the CBSO
has been proud to be Birmingham’s orchestra.
Under principal conductors including
Adrian Boult, George Weldon, Andrzej
Panufnik and Louis Frémaux, the CBSO
won an artistic reputation that spread far
beyond the Midlands. But it was when it
discovered the young British conductor Simon
Rattle in 1980 that the CBSO became
internationally famous—and showed how
the arts can help give a new sense of direction
to a whole city.
Rattle’s successors Sakari Oramo and
Andris Nelsons helped cement that global
reputation and continued to build on the
CBSO’s tradition of flying the flag for Birmingham.
And under the dynamic leadership
of Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla, the CBSO
continued to do what it does best—playing
great music for the people of Birmingham,
the Midlands, and beyond. In September
of last year, the Orchestra announced that
Japanese conductor Kazuki Yamada had
been appointed as its Chief Conductor and
Artistic Advisor with effect from 1 April
2023—having been the Orchestra’s Principal
Guest Conductor since October 2018.

in the footsteps of Sir Simon Rattle,
Sakari Oramo and Andris Nelsons. With
the start of the 2022/2023 season she assumes
the position of principal guest conductor
of the CBSO for one season. Winner
of the 2012 Salzburg Festival Young Conductors
Award, she subsequently made
her debut with the Gustav Mahler Youth
Orchestra in a symphonic concert at the
Salzburger Festspiele.
Recent highlights include a highly acclaimed
performance of Britten’s War Requiem
at the Salzburger Festspiele, her
celebrated return to opera with a new production
of Janáček’s The Cunning Little

and the Orchestra of the Komische Oper in
Berlin. At the Kremerata Baltica, she has
enjoyed a dynamic collaboration with Gidon
Kremer on numerous European tours.
She has led operas in Munich, Heidelberg,

2018. With the Los Angeles Philharmonic,
Gražinytė-Tyla was a Dudamel Fellow in
the 2012-13 season, Assistant Conductor
(2014-16), and Associate Conductor (2016-
17). She was the Music Director of the Salzburg
Landestheater from 2015 until 2017.
An exclusive Deutsche Grammophon
Artist since 2018, her first album on the yellow
label was released in the spring of 2019.
It delighted critics and listeners worldwide
and was hailed as an essential contribution
to the rediscovery of Mieczysław Weinberg’s
OEuvre, winning also the Opus Klassik
and Grammophon Awards later in 2020.
The recording was the result of a cooperation
of the City of Birmingham Symphony
Orchestra, Kremerata Baltica and Gidon
Kremer. A second recording was released
by Deutsche Grammophon in November
2019. This features works by her compatriot
Raminta Šerkšnytė and was followed by
her most recent CD „The British Project“ including
works by Elgar, Britten, Walton and
Vaughan Williams in July 2021.
Gražinytė-Tyla was discovered by the
German Conducting Forum (Deutsches Dirigentenforum)
in April 2009. A native of
Vilnius, Lithuania, she was born into a musical
family. Before pursuing her studies
at the Music Conservatory in Zurich, she
studied at the Music Conservatory Felix
Mendelssohn-Bartholdy in Leipzig and at
the Music Conservatory in Bologna, Italy.
She graduated with a bachelor's degree in
choral and orchestral conducting from the
University of Music and Fine Arts, Graz,
Austria. She has participated in numerous
masterclasses and conducting workshops,
and has worked with many established
conductors and professors, such as Christian
Ehwald, George Alexander Albrecht,
Johannes Schlaefli, Herbert Blomstedt, and
Colin Metters.

14 CAMA'S 104 TH CONCERT SEASON
NOTES
ON THE PROGRAM
By Howard Posner
Ralph Vaughan Williams was in his early
30s and gradually acquiring a reputation
as a composer when the Oxford University
Press hired him to be music editor of
The English Hymnal, an updated, upgraded
and definitive volume of Church of England
congregational hymns.
The book, published in 1906, was
hailed as a triumph largely because of
Vaughan Williams’ work, but it concerns us,
a century or so later and a continent or so
away, because in the course of that work
he became enamored of a hymn by the Tudor
composer Thomas Tallis (1505–1585)
that he found in the 1567 Psalter of Matthew
Parker, Archbishop of Canterbury. It
is a setting of the first part of Psalm 2, beginning,
“Why fumeth in fight the Gentiles'
spite, in fury raging stout? Why taketh in
hand the people fond, vain things to bring
about?” (Two centuries later, Handel would
set a newer translation in Messiah: “Why do
the nations so furiously rage together, and
why do the people imagine a vain thing?”)
Ralph Vaugham Williams
CAMA AT THE GRANADA THEATRE • CITY OF BIRMINGHAM SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
15
The text’s aggressive cast led Tallis
to write a tune in Phrygian mode, which is
mostly a minor scale (E to E on the white
keys), but with mostly major harmonies,
and it may have been this tonal ambiguity
that attracted Vaughan Williams. He used
it as the tune for more modern texts, and
later in music for Bunyan’s Christian allegory
A Pilgrim’s Progress. It was still on his
mind when he was invited to contribute a
new work for the 1910 Three Choirs Festival
in Gloucester. It was with the recesses
of that ancient Gothic church in mind that
Vaughan Williams composed the Fantasia
on a Theme of Thomas Tallis.
The Fantasia is scored in 14 parts—
two five-part string orchestras, one with
more players on a part than the other, and
a quartet of soloists—that echo each other,
answer each other, and often combine into
one five-part tutti.
Vaughan Williams presents the theme
with Tallis’ basic harmonization, but it
seems right at home in its setting, rather
than a visitor from four or five centuries
ago. It is treated freely, with shifting meter
and tonality. The composer may have
thought it all a little too free, as he revised
it twice, once for the 1913 London premiere
and once in 1919, shortening it each time.
The Fantasia is about how beautiful
music can be and how good a string ensemble
can sound, and manages to do it
without becoming syrupy, which is a magnificent
achievement. It is both a complex
work with depth and the ultimate feel-good
piece, which has made ubiquitous in the
repertoire: it was commercially recorded 61
times between 1936 and 2022.
Sir Edward Elgar’s Cello Concerto came at
the end of two eras. The most obvious end
was the old order in Europe, destroyed by
World War I along with a staggering number
of its young men. It was also the end of the
two-decade era in which Elgar had stood
atop the British musical world. The era began
when the Enigma Variations catapulted
the 42-year-old composer from obscurity to
stardom in 1899, and continued with years
of remarkable creative fertility in which he
composed virtually all the music for which
he is known now.
The war slowed Elgar’s output to a
trickle, and toward its end his finances and
health were suffering. “I am more alone
and the prey of circumstances than ever
before,” he said. “Everything good and nice
and clean and fresh and sweet is far away,
never to return.”
In March 1918, he had his tonsils removed
at his doctor’s urging, and was in
pain for days, pain relief in 1918 being nothing
close to what it is now. “But nevertheless,”
his daughter Carice wrote, “he woke
up one morning and asked for pencil and
paper and wrote down the opening theme
of the Cello Concerto.” He did not yet know
it would wind up in a cello concerto, and
nothing came of it for while longer, as Elgar
plunged into composing three significant
chamber works. By the time they were finished
in May 1919, the cello concerto was
16 CAMA'S 104 TH CONCERT SEASON
Sir Edward Elgar
taking shape. By June 5, it was concrete
enough that Elgar had the cellist Felix Salmond
try out some of the solo passages.
Salmond played the premiere on October
27 with the London Symphony. It was
a train wreck. The Concerto was the only
work on the program that Elgar conducted,
and the conductor of the other items
on the program, Albert Coates, hogged
the rehearsal time. Reviewing the concert,
the eminent critic Ernest Newman wrote,
“There have been rumours about during the
week of inadequate rehearsal. Whatever
the explanation, the sad fact remains that
never, in all probability, has so great an orchestra
made so lamentable an exhibition
of itself.” He went on to say, “The work itself
is lovely stuff, very simple – that pregnant
simplicity that has come upon Elgar's
music in the last couple of years – but with
a profound wisdom and beauty underlying
its simplicity.”
The concerto’s unforgettable moments
come early: the outcry of the solo cello at
the very beginning, and the rolling theme
that daughter Clarice called, with more
insight than literal accuracy, the opening
theme (nearly everyone has followed suit
ever since). At once noble and deeply anguished,
it was the perfect theme for the
post-war world, and still speaks to the present
one. It makes short reappearances in
the second and fourth movements. During
his last illness in 1933, Elgar hummed it
to a friend and said, “If ever after I'm dead
you hear someone whistling this tune on
the Malvern Hills, don't be alarmed. It's
only me.”
Elgar laid the concerto out like a symphony,
with a scherzo second movement
and a slow third movement, and an energetic
finale in which themes from the slow
movement recur, along with a last reference
to the opening solo, and that main theme
one more time, as if Elgar is whistling in the
Malvern Hills.
The Concerto now holds an exalted
position in the repertoire, but such was not
the case for a generation or two after its
premiere. In the 1960’s recordings by the
dynamic young British cellist Jacqueline
DuPre made the concerto both a staple and

Mieczysław Weinberg
DuPre’s calling card, and remains a sort of
theme song for her tragically short career
and life.
The tales of creative artists—Jewish
artists in particular—being scattered to the
winds as they fled before the onslaught of
Nazi Germany are myriad. Many of them,
of course, wound up in Southern California.
Mieczysław (or Moisey) Weinberg (or
Vainberg, or Vaynberg, or a good number of
other variant spellings) fled to the east and
stayed there.
He was a precocious musician who entered
the Warsaw Conservatory at 12, and
had an offer from the most eminent piano
teacher of the day to study in America, but
he narrowly escaped the German invasion
of Poland, which eventually claimed the
lives of the rest of his family, by going to
Minsk in Belarus, and then, as the German
army advanced, to Tashkent in Uzbekistan.
He would spend the rest of his life in the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, which
he would outlive by five years.
In 1943 he sent a copy of his first symphony
to Shostakovich, who was impressed.
They became lifelong friends, Shostakovich
once calling him “a fine composer, a good
man with upright character, but definitely
too modest.” It was Shostakovich who arranged
for Weinberg to come to Moscow,
where he remained until his death in 1996.
He arrived in a period between the two
biggest crackdowns to make Soviet composers
conform to official notions of what
music should be. Weinberg was not one to
18 CAMA'S 104 TH CONCERT SEASON
keep his head down. When the Party moved
to control music in 1948 by labeling composers
“formalist” or insufficiently attuned
to “Socialist realism,” Weinberg was one
of only two who did not offer apologies or
recantations, and he suffered professionally
for it. (Soviet composers whose music
was “banned” still managed to get commissions
for less-prestigious theater or music
movie, which Weinberg had to do for a few
years. But he eventually composed about
150 works, including 21 symphonies and
17 string quartets.
Shostakovich championed Weinberg’s
music and made sure his A-list performer
friends like the cellist Mstislav Rostropovich,
and violinist David Oistrakh performed
his works. Weinberg exposed Shostakovich
to Jewish music, which manifested itself in
a number of Shostakovich works. But overt
Jewishness in music was not wise in the
Soviet Union, where antisemitism lurked behind
an official policy of eschewing ethnic
prejudice. The Jewish Rhapsody, one of his
Festive Scenes for Orchestra from 1946-47,
may be a reflection of the optimism in the
air right after the war ended.
“I was destined for the fine career of
a sailor,” wrote Claude Debussy to a friend
in September 1903 as La Mer was taking
shape. “Only the accidents of life put me on
another path.”
The finished version of “The Sea” is a
unique mix of tone poem and symphony, a
three-movement impression of the ocean.
Debussy would have bristled at the

suggestion that he was painting specific
scenes in music. He had no interest in pictorialism
or program music. A few months
earlier, in a review for a Paris newspaper,
he had written that the popularity of
Beethoven’s Pastorale Symphony “rests on
the common and mutual misunderstanding
that exists between man and nature.” He
wrote that the birdcalls in that symphony
were more like the art of the 18th-century
creator of a famous mechanical duck “than
drawn from nature’s book. All such imitations
are in the end useless—purely arbitrary
interpretations.” Elsewhere he wrote
that the Pastorale succeeded “simply because
there is no attempt at direct imitation,
but rather at capturing the invisible
sentiments of nature.” If Debussy thought
that Beethoven could not pull off an imitation
of nature in music, he certainly was
not about to try it himself. Yet he acknowledged
that a musical work about the ocean
“could turn out to be like a studio landscape,”
but concluded, “I have countless
reminiscences. This matters more, in my
opinion, than a reality.”
The determination to depict the ocean
generally rather than specifically led to
changes in titles. In a 1903 letter to his publisher,
Debussy proposed “The Sea; Three
symphonic sketches for orchestra: I. Beautiful
sea by the bloodthirsty islands. II. Play
of the waves. III. The wind makes the sea
dance.” By the time Debussy finished La Mer
in March 1905, he had changed the title of
the first movement to “From dawn to midday
on the sea,” and that of the last movement
to “Dialogue of the wind and the sea.”
The original title of the first movement was
the title of a short story by Camille Mauclair.
Though Debussy liked the contrast
between beauty and blood-thirst, he gave it
up, probably because using Mauclair’s title
might give the idea that the music tracked
the story.
The three movements have a similar
feel, perhaps because some similar building
blocks went into them. The first thing
heard above the quietly droning basses is a
rising progression built on the whole tones,
fourths and fifths, and using rhythmic figure
of a short note on the downbeat moving
to a much longer one. Fourths and fifths
stacked on each other have a strong, forthright
quality (they are the key elements of
fanfares) but also a sort of blankness (the
open strings of violins, violas and cellos are
tuned in fifths, those of double basses and
guitars are in fourths). The fourth and fifths
recur throughout the work without calling
much attention to themselves, since they
are such a fundamental part of tonal music,
but they bring an elemental quality to
the music, as if conveying something wide
and open and vast, such as, for example,
the ocean. The short-long rhythmic figure
is easier to pick out, and conveys a sense
of poignancy in places and sheer power in
others, as when the brass thunder it out at
the end of the first movement.

IRA GIFTS TO CAMA
Timely and Tax-Wise
If you have not yet withdrawn all your Required Minimum Distribution
(RMD) from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) for the 2022
calendar year, you may use your IRA to make a tax-wise gift to
Community Arts Music Association (CAMA) before December 31, 2022.
You must be at least 70 or older to roll over IRA assets to meet your
RMD requirement. On withdrawals of up to $100,000 you do not have
to pay any income tax and CAMA will receive full value of your gift.
Please consider CAMA when you plan for your year-end giving.
Contact your IRA plan administrator to request a direct transfer of
your specified gift amount to CAMA, 2060 Alameda Padre Serra,
Suite 201, Santa Barbara, CA 93103. As a a qualified charity, the check
will then be sent directly to CAMA (Federal Tax ID # 95-1816010).
You will not be required to declare this withdrawal amount as part
of your taxable income for 2022, as rollover gifts such as these are
not counted as part of your income. These gifts do not qualify for
an itemized charitable deduction, meaning this option works to the
advantage for the majority of taxpayers who do not itemize charitable
contributions, but rather take the standard deduction.
Thank you for your support of CAMA. If you have any questions,
please contact Elizabeth Alvarez, Director of Development at
Elizabeth@camasb.org.

wine country cuisine
in the heart of the Historic Arts District
Santa Barbara ‘Wine Country Cuisine’ means
we source our ingredients using an ‘as-fresh-andas-local-as-possible’
approach, with fish from
the Santa Barbara Channel and produce from
the surrounding countryside. We then take into
account how these flavors can be presented in
concert with our local wines.
