From Darkness to Sight

From Darkness to Sight chronicles the remarkable life journey of Dr. Ming Wang,

Harvard & MIT (MD, magna cum laude); PhD (laser physics), a world-renowned

laser eye surgeon, philanthropist, and Kiwanis Nashvillian of the Year.

As a teenager, Ming fought valiantly to escape

one of history's darkest eras - China's

Cultural Revolution - during which millions of

innocent youth were deported to remote areas to

face a life sentence of poverty and hard labor. He

eventually made his way to the U.S. with $50 in

his pocket, where against all odds, he earned a

PhD in laser physics and graduated with the

highest honors from Harvard Medical School

and MIT.

Dr. Wang has performed over 55,000 eye

procedures including on over 4,000 physicians.

He has published 9 textbooks, holds several U.S.

patents, and performed the world's first laser

artificial cornea implantation. Drs. Ming

Wang and Joshua Frenkel are currently the

only surgeons in the state who performs

3D SMILE and 3D LASIK (18+), 3D

Implantable Contact Lens (21+), 3D Forever

Young Lens ( 45+ ), and 3D Laser Cataract Surgery

(60+). Dr. Wang established a non-profit charity,

which to date has helped patients from over 40

states in the U.S. and 55 countries, with all sight

restoration surgeries performed free-of-charge.

MUSIC DIRECTOR

GIANCARLO

GUERRERO

Martha & Bronson Ingram Music Director Chair

Giancarlo Guerrero is a six-time GRAMMY®

Award-winning conductor now in his 11th

season as Music Director of the Nashville

Symphony. Guerrero is also Music Director of the

Wrocław Philharmonic at the National Forum of

Music in Poland and Principal Guest Conductor of

the Gulbenkian Orchestra in Lisbon, Portugal. He

has been praised for his “charismatic conducting

and attention to detail” (Seattle Times) in “viscerally

powerful performances” (Boston Globe) that are

“at once vigorous, passionate and nuanced”

(BachTrack).

Through commissions, recordings and world

premieres, Guerrero and the Nashville Symphony

have championed the works of American composers

who are defining today’s musical landscape,

making Nashville a destination for contemporary

orchestral music. Guerrero has presented 11 world

premieres with the Nashville Symphony, including

the GRAMMY®-winning performance of Michael

Daugherty’s Tales of Hemingway and Terry Riley’s

The Palmian Chord Ryddle.

Guerrero’s rich discography with the Nashville

Symphony numbers 17 recordings, including

the 2019 Naxos release of Jonathan Leshnoff’s

Symphony No. 4 “Heichalos.” The work was

commissioned by the Nashville Symphony for the

Violins of Hope, a collection of restored instruments

that survived the Holocaust. This recording marks

the first time the instruments have been heard

on a commercially available album. Other albums

have been dedicated to the music of composers

as diverse as Jennifer Higdon, Richard Danielpour,

Joan Tower and Béla Fleck.

During the 2019/20 season, Naxos will release

recordings of Aaron Jay Kernis’ Symphony No. 4

and Christopher Rouse’s Concerto for Orchestra,

both recorded with the Nashville Symphony. As

part of his commitment to fostering contemporary

music, Guerrero, together with composer Aaron Jay

Kernis, guided the creation of Nashville Symphony’s

biennial Composer Lab & Workshop for young and

emerging composers.

Guerrero’s 2019/20 season will include return

engagements with the Boston Symphony,

Orquestra Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo,

Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Bamberg

Symphony, Frankfurt Opera and Museums

Orchestra, and the New Zealand Symphony. In

January 2020, Guerrero will conduct the Wrocław

Philharmonic on a 12-city North American tour.

Guerrero has appeared with prominent

North American orchestras, including those of

Baltimore, Cincinnati, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas,

Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Los Angeles,

Milwaukee, Montréal, Philadelphia, Seattle,

Toronto and Vancouver, as well as the National

Symphony Orchestra. He has developed a strong

international guest-conducting profile and has

worked in recent seasons with the Frankfurt Radio

Symphony, Brussels Philharmonic, Deutsches

Radio Philharmonie, Orchestre Philharmonique

de Radio France, Netherlands Philharmonic,

Residentie Orkest, NDR in Hannover, Orquesta

Sinfónica de Galicia and the London Philharmonic

Orchestra, as well as the Queensland Symphony

and Sydney Symphony in Australia. Guerrero

was honored as the keynote speaker at the 2019

League of American Orchestras conference,

where his address on transforming “inspiration

and innovation into meaningful action” was met

with a unified standing ovation.

Guerrero made his debut with Houston Grand

Opera in 2015 conducting Puccini's Madama

INCONCERT

CONDUCTORS

Butterfly. Early in his career, he worked regularly

with the Costa Rican Lyric Opera and has conducted

new productions of Carmen, La bohème and

Rigoletto. In 2008 he gave the Australian premiere

of Osvaldo Golijov's one-act opera Ainadamar at

the Adelaide Festival.

Guerrero previously held posts as the Principal

Guest Conductor of The Cleveland Orchestra

Miami (2011-2016), Music Director of the Eugene

Symphony (2002-2009), and Associate Conductor

of the Minnesota Orchestra (1999-2004).

Born in Nicaragua, Guerrero immigrated during

his childhood to Costa Rica, where he joined

the local youth symphony. As a promising young

student, he came to the United States to study

percussion and conducting at Baylor University in

Texas; he earned his master’s degree in conducting

at Northwestern, where he studied with Victor

Yampolsky. Given his beginnings in civic youth

orchestras, Guerrero is particularly engaged with

conducting training orchestras and has worked

with the Curtis School of Music, Colburn School

in Los Angeles, and Yale Philharmonia, as well

as with the Nashville Symphony’s Accelerando

program. In recent years, he has also developed

a relationship with the National Youth Orchestra

(NYO2) in New York, created and operated by the

Weill Institute of Music at Carnegie Hall.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

CLASSICAL

Jennifer Higdon returns to the Nashville Symphony with one of her latest concertos. The

composer notes that she aimed to reflect “the qualities of majesty, grace and power” of which

low brass are capable. Higdon continues to adapt the tradition of American orchestral music

to a contemporary sensibility. During the years of the Great Depression and World War II,

Aaron Copland similarly sought to speak to audiences of his time. Copland’s contemporary

Alan Hovhaness took a different path toward the same goal, making his breakthrough with

his stirring Mysterious Mountain. All of these composers contributed facets to “the American

sound” that is still being reshaped today. In Latin America, Heitor Villa-Lobos fused the

music of the past with the rhythms, melodies and timbres of his native Brazil.

ALAN HOVHANESS

Symphony No. 2, “Mysterious Mountain”

Born on March 8, 1911, in

Somerville, Massachusetts

Died on June 21, 2000,

in Seattle, Washington

First performance:

October 31, 1955, with

Leopold Stokowski conducting

the Houston Symphony

Composed:

1955

Estimated

length:

16 minutes

First Nashville Symphony

performance:

January 12 & 13, 1959, with

music director Guy Taylor

References to mountains abound in

the titles Alan Hovhaness gave to his

astoundingly prolific output of symphonies.

Along with Mysterious Mountain, his best

known piece, they include Three Journeys

to a Holy Mountain, Cold Mountain and

more. And, as those names suggest, both

nature and spiritual reflection were ongoing

preoccupations for this composer. “Mountains

are symbols, like pyramids of man’s attempt

to know God,” he once observed.

Born in New England to an American

mother and an Armenian father who was

an immigrant from Turkey, Hovhaness later

dropped the family name (Chakmakjian)

and in its place used his middle name — the

Armenian equivalent of “John.” He was a

prodigy who became fascinated with both

music and astronomy and started to compose

at age 4.

Hovhaness obtained a scholarship to study

at the newly established Tanglewood Center,

summer home of the Boston Symphony, in

1942. Aaron Copland and Leonard Bernstein,

who were both taking part in the composer

seminar he joined, were unimpressed by his

music. Their disparaging attitudes left a scar,

and Hovhaness burned a vast amount of his

early scores. He was persuaded to explore

his Armenian heritage and also absorbed

influences from throughout Asia.

Despite his negative experience at Tanglewood,

Hovhaness found encouragement from figures

like the choreographer and dancer Martha

Graham, who would soon create Appalachian

Spring with Copland. Later, Hovhaness wrote

several ballet scores for Graham’s company.

One of his most powerful champions

was the conductor Leopold Stokowski, to

whom Hovhaness was introduced by the

Armenian-American writer William Saroyan.

In 1942, Stokowski gave the American premiere

INCONCERT

19

CLASSICAL

of the composer’s Symphony No. 1 "Exile,"

which commemorates the Armenian genocide.

In the following decade, Stokowski

commissioned a new work, which would

become Mysterious Mountain, and premiered

it during his first appearance with the Houston

Symphony. Thanks to Stokowski’s advocacy,

along with multiple performances by other

orchestras and Fritz Reiner’s recording with

the Chicago Symphony, Mysterious Mountain

became Hovhaness’ breakthrough. Hovhaness

did not even designate it a “symphony” until

much later — listing it as No. 2 of a family

that grew to include 67 numbered symphonies

(among more than 400 extant works). He

remained intensely creative until near the

end of his long life, finding new inspiration

in the landscapes of the Pacific Northwest.

WHAT TO LISTEN FOR

Stokowski encouraged Hovhaness to give

the three-movement symphony a name.

Mysterious Mountain is thus an afterthought

and not an indication of programmatic content.

The composer’s background in Renaissance

music, Baroque counterpoint and liturgical

music blend together in this work. Many

listeners are reminded of the gently “English

pastoral” style of Ralph Vaughan Williams.

A slow movement opens the work with music

of hymn-like serenity. The tightly woven string

fabric opens to new vistas of woodwinds and

brass, with the celesta contributing its special

tint. Hovhaness’ early-music interests are most

evident in the sophisticated counterpoint of

the second movement, which unfolds as a

double fugue based on a stepwise, speededup

chorale, followed by a more animated and

restless theme. Hovhaness then interlaces the

two themes with great skill, building their

combined energy into a noble climax.

The final movement starts off in a mysterious

mood, suggesting distant landscapes in a

manner reminiscent of Sibelius. He again

alludes to the celestial atmosphere of the

opening movement, and, after reflective

passages for the woodwinds, the work builds

to its conclusion on a majestic chorale.

Mysterious Mountain is scored for 3 flutes,

2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets, bass clarinet,

2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 5 horns, 3 trumpets,

3 trombones, tuba, timpani, celesta, harp and

strings.

HEITOR VILLA-LOBOS

Bachianas brasileiras No. 2

Born on March 5, 1887,

in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Died on November 17, 1959,

in Rio de Janeiro

First performance:

June 3 or September 3, 1934

(according to contradictory sources),

at the Venice International Festival

Composed:

1930

Estimated

length:

21 minutes


performance:

April 8, 1952, with music director

Guy Taylor

The great Brazilian composer Heitor

Villa-Lobos came of age during an era

of revolutionary change in his native Rio de

Janerio. Rejecting formal schooling, he found

a sympathetic milieu among the city’s street

musicians, playing guitar and later supporting

20

MARCH 2020

CLASSICAL

himself as a cellist with gigs in the theater and

cinema orchestras, as well as at local hotels.

Starting in 1905, Villa-Lobos began a series

of excursions into the Amazon and other

rural states of Brazil, collecting musical ideas

for future inspiration. He later grew fond of

embellishing the details of his adventures with

outrageous claims.

Villa-Lobos also liked to play up his image

as an essentially self-taught composer and

enfant terrible. He became a key figure in

the development of an authentically Brazilian

musical language, which assimilated influences

from European Modernism while at the same

time rejecting older European conventions.

This quest led Villa-Lobos to design a system

of music education that has had a profound

impact on Brazil’s cultural life. He found ways

to incorporate indigenous Brazilian elements

across his productive career, earning the status

of Brazil’s leading classical composer.

Despite criticism for his dubious connections

to the right-wing regime of the dictator Getúlio

Vargas, Villa-Lobos gained major international

recognition through his visits to the United

States, where such conductors as Leopold

Stokowski championed his work. When his

musical/folk operetta Magdalena opened

on Broadway in 1948, it became the most

expensive show to have been produced there.

Villa-Lobos also maintained connections

to Europe — as both an exporter of Brazilian

idioms and an importer of such masters as J.S.

Bach, a lifelong idol. The Bachianas brasileiras

epitomize the composer’s preoccupation with

his Baroque predecessor, whom he called “a

kind of universal folkloric source, rich and

profound…[a source] linking all peoples.”

This series of nine suites spans the period

from 1930 to his time in New York in 1945.

The word “suite” is particularly appropriate

here, for in each work Villa-Lobos bridges the

model of Bach’s Baroque instrumental suites

with references to Brazilian musical forms

and culture. Bachianas brasileiras No. 2 in

particular offers snapshots of the Brazilian

landscape and the back-country character types

the composer witnessed during his youthful

years of travel across remote areas.

WHAT TO LISTEN FOR

The Bachianas brasileiras translate some

of the musical precedents found in Bach —

many of which are based on dance types — into

a Brazilian context. No. 2 is a four-movement

suite that begins with Prelúdio, to which Villa-

Lobos adds the Brazilian parallel title O canto

do capadócio (“Slacker’s Song”). The longest

of the four movements, this Prelude unfolds

as a longing, even languid, Adagio melody,

with a more animated dance emerging in the

middle. Aria, also titled O canto da nossa terra

(“Song of Our Land”), is also in song form,

its melancholy main melody surrounding

an upbeat piano-and-saxophone-dominated

central section.

Dansa, whose twin title is Lembrança do

Sertão (“Memento of the Sertão” — referring

to the outback of northeastern Brazil), presents

a vivid landscape of dynamic rhythms that

propel the trombone’s suave melody. The most

famous part of Bachianas brasileiras No. 2 is

the final movement, which gives the entire

suite its name: O trenzinho do caipira (“Little

Train of the Caipira” — i.e., of the outback).

Villa-Lobos associates this metaphorical train

journey with the idea of the Toccata, referring

to the Baroque tradition of fun, flashy music

meant to show off technique. Here, he calls

on his expanded percussion section (full of

local color) to depict the steam locomotive’s

painstaking yet somehow assured propulsion.

Over this track of brightly accented rhythms is

laid an attractively songful melody. The melody

guides the train along to its destination.

Bachianas brasilieras No. 2 is scored for flute

(doubling piccolo), oboe, clarinet, tenor

saxophone (doubling baritone saxophone),

bassoon, contrabassoon, 2 horns, trombone,

timpani, percussion (including a variety of native

Brazilian rattles), celesta, piano and strings.

JENNIFER HIGDON

Low Brass Concerto

Born on December 31, 1962

in Brooklyn, New York

Composed:

2017

Currently resides

in Philadelphia

Estimated

length:

18 minutes

Jennifer Higdon is one of America’s most

acclaimed figures in classical music,

receiving the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in Music

and multiple GRAMMY® Awards.

She enjoys several hundred performances a

year of her works, and blue cathedral is one of

today’s most performed contemporary works.

Her works have been released on more than 60

recordings. Higdon’s first opera, Cold Mountain

(2015) won the International Opera Award

for Best World Premiere; Santa Fe Opera’s

recording was nominated for two GRAMMY®

Awards. Higdon holds the Rock Chair in

Composition at the Curtis Institute of Music in

Philadelphia. Her music is published exclusively

by Lawdon Press.

Born in Brooklyn, Higdon grew up in Atlanta

and East Tennessee, with much exposure

to country and rock. At age 15, she decided

to teach herself flute and later became a

performance major at Bowling Green State

University.

The idea of composing emerged almost by

chance, when her flute teacher asked her to

write a short piece. “I found arranging sounds

to be fascinating,” says Higdon. Soon the desire

to compose became unavoidable, taking over

her life. Now, with commissions pouring in

and her music in high demand, Higdon is

frequently on the road yet still composes

several hours every day.

The concerto format figures prominently

in Higdon’s catalogue. Examples include an

These are the orchestra’s first

performances and will be recorded live

acclaimed Concerto for Orchestra, a bluegrassstyled

concerto for string trio, and concertos

for oboe, piano, harp, violin, viola, string trio,

soprano sax and percussion. The Concerto for

Low Brass was commissioned by the Chicago

Symphony Orchestra, with the Philadelphia

Orchestra and the Baltimore Symphony

Orchestra serving as co-commissioners. One

shared element that makes these compositions

so consistently compelling is Higdon’s knack

for telling a musical story through instruments

alone — stories in which the solo instruments

become protagonists as they interact with their

peers in the orchestra.

IN THE COMPOSER’S WORDS

Jennifer Higdon has supplied the following

comments on the Concerto for Low Brass:

“ Normally, when people think of brass they

think of power, which is not an inaccurate

assessment. Brass players are quick to tell you

that they also can play beautiful melodies,

and do so quietly and with exquisite control.

So early on in the planning process for this

concerto, I decided to think about the music

as reflections of the qualities of majesty, grace

and power.

“Writing this concerto was a tremendous

challenge, primarily because there is normally

one person standing at the front of the stage,

and this work requires four. Fortunately, I’ve

had the opportunity on several occasions to

22

MARCH 2020

write a concerto for multiple soloists. My first

opportunity was with my bluegrass/classical

hybrid concerto for Time for Three, Concerto

4-3, and the second time was writing On a

Wire [for the ensemble eighth blackbird].

“ When I accept a commission and start the

process of deciding what kind of music to write

in a piece, I think a lot about the personalities

of the players. I have, after decades of writing

music, learned that the low brass players

are always fun to work with. They bring an

infectious joy to everything they play, which

in itself is inspiring.

“With all of this in mind, I decided to write a

traditional work that highlights these qualities,

in straightforward lines and melodies. It is

sometimes the most challenging thing for

Copland’s musical language to “pieces of

Shaker furniture, simple to the point of being

humble, but sturdy and effective.

24

MARCH 2020

CLASSICAL

Copland’s path toward honing this style

was not a simple or straightforward one.

Having come of age

in Brooklyn as the

son of Russian-Jewish

immigrants, he first

studied theory from a

correspondence course

before finding private

mentorship. He went

on to study with Nadia

Boulanger in Paris

during the 1920s and became interested in

the experiments with “symphonic jazz” that

were creating a buzz at the time.

The Great Depression sharpened Copland’s

desire to communicate with a wider audience.

Numerous ballet, theater and film projects

in the 1930s gave Copland the contexts he

needed to evolve a style of greater simplicity

and directness while also conveying a distinctly

American aura. With Billy the Kid, his “folkballet”

from 1938, for example, Copland found

a way to use widely spaced harmonies that

vividly conjure a sense of “the open prairie.”

In 1943, the eminent arts patron Elizabeth

Sprague Coolidge commissioned Martha

Graham to create a ballet on American themes.

Graham herself first danced the role of the

unnamed Bride.

Copland’s working title was Ballet for Martha,

which later became the subtitle. After he had

already composed the score, Graham chose

the now familiar title from a section of the

American poet Hart Crane’s epic The Bridge.

“Spring” here refers to water rather than the

season. Also interesting to note: Copland

imagined the music for the ballet’s unspoiled,

folk-like Americana while living in both

Hollywood and Mexico.

Appalachian Spring tells the story of a young,

19th-century pioneer couple simply called

the Bride and her Husbandman. They are

simultaneously joyful and anxious as they

contemplate what their married life will be

like. A revivalist Preacher and a Pioneer Woman

offer the couple moral support. By the end,

despite their fears, the young couple enter

into their new home in

the wilderness, “quiet

and strong.” The

biographer Howard

Pollack interprets the

characters as “symbolic

archetypes…the

Pioneer Woman as the

noble American dream,

and the Revivalist and

his Followers as an ascetic, resolute puritanism.”

WHAT TO LISTEN FOR

An idyllic, dreamy opening establishes the

pastoral scene. Copland expands on a

simple three-note idea and introduces each

character. The music layers into bright, warm

chords, like a dawn mist slowly evaporating.

A sudden jolt of energy signals the start of

the action. Copland writes that “a sentiment

both elated and religious gives the keynote to

this scene.” Then comes a gentle duo dance

for the Bride and her groom. The tempo then

quickens — with “suggestions of square dances

and country fiddlers” — for the scene with the

Preacher and his flock.

A brief transition recalls the introductory

music. Then we hear the ballet’s best-known

sequence: a set of five variations on a Shaker

melody that had been published in a mid-19thcentury

collection under the title Simple Gifts.

First heard on solo clarinet, with decorative

comments from the woodwinds, this is the

only preexisting folk melody Copland used

in Appalachian Spring. The suite concludes

with a coda of muted strings.

Appalachian Spring is scored for 2 flutes (2nd

doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons,

2 horns, 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, timpani,

percussion, piano, harp and strings.

CLASSICAL

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

By deliberately evoking life in the countryside, Beethoven made the narrative arc of the

symphony more explicit than usual in his Pastoral. The result conjures memories of a natural

paradise that, from our contemporary perspective of climate change and global pollution,

seem almost utopian, beyond reach. In her stirring new Conquest Requiem, California-based

composer Gabriela Lena Frank radically adapts the traditional Requiem liturgy to tell a

powerful story that likewise has inevitable ramifications for our situation today. Frank’s piece

reflects on the pivotal moment when the Old and New Worlds were first encountering each

other. While the violence of the male Conquistadores forever changed both worlds, it is the

pain of her Nahua protagonist Malinche that is Frank’s focus.

What remarkably different worlds

Beethoven’s Fifth and Sixth

Symphonies inhabit! The Fifth is the epitome

of concision, while the Sixth lays out a leisurely

sense of spaces to be strolled through and

explored. The Fifth is an abstract canvas, its

argument entirely musical: how to get from a

determined C minor opening to a victory in

C major? But onto that canvas, listeners have

inscribed scenarios and imagined narratives

since the music was first heard — the power

of Fate in ancient Greek tragedy, the victory

of the French Revolution, countless others.

The Sixth, on the other hand, carries a title

provided by the composer himself: Pastoral,

referring to Beethoven’s deep love of nature and

long, ruminative walks in the countryside. In

this work, Beethoven anticipates the musical

Romanticism of the later 19th century, with

its leaning for programmatic composition —

pieces that allude to stories or sources outside

of the music itself.

Yet both the Fifth and the Sixth Symphonies

were unveiled on the very same concert! On

December 22, 1808, Vienna’s Theater an der

Wien hosted a very lengthy program that

Beethoven himself organized and presented,

as was standard practice for a freelance artist

at the time — hence it was an all-Beethoven

concert showcasing his latest works. Along with

the Fifth and the Sixth, it featured the Fourth

Piano Concerto, excerpts from the Mass in C

major, a concert aria, and the Choral Fantasy,

which anticipates the “Ode to Joy” finale of

the Ninth. Whether the audience, freezing in

an unheated hall, realized that music history

was being made is another story.

Dramatic though their differences are,

34

MARCH 2020

CLASSICAL

the Fifth and Sixth are of the same vintage.

Beethoven worked on both at the same time.

The closer you listen, the more you begin to

notice certain aspects they share: the very

first notes of the Pastoral are (almost) the

same rhythmic pattern we know from the

“Fate” motto opening the Fifth — except the

Pastoral’s idea continues meandering amiably

before reaching its sustained note and pause

(whereas the Fifth does so at once, on the

fourth note). Or consider the bird’s-eye view of

overall design: in the Pastoral, Beethoven links

the Scherzo directly to the Storm movement

and then, without pause, leaps right into the

cheerful finale. It’s a variant of his radical

approach in the Fifth, where he directly links

the Scherzo with a dark, suspenseful bridge

to the triumphant finale.

In other words, are these two symphonies

really “opposites,” as the old Beethoven cliché

used to have it? According to the cliché, the

odd-numbered symphonies are bold and

aggressive, the even-numbered ones more

“relaxed” and even “conventional.” In fact, the

two works are more like close siblings who turn

out to have strikingly different personalities.

Beethoven restlessly moved from one lodging

to another within Vienna, but he always felt at

home in the countryside. The Sixth can be heard

as his expression of thanks for the therapeutic

joy he found in nature. He even added evocative

titles to each of its movements — all of them

involving scenes of nature and the countryside:

“Awakening of Cheerful Feelings upon Arriving

at the Countryside” (first movement); “Scene

by the Brook” (second movement); “Merry

Gathering of Country Folk” (filling the usual

position of a Beethoven Scherzo in the third

movement); “Thunderstorm” (brief interlude);

and “Shepherd’s Song: Happy and Thankful

Feelings After the Storm” (finale).

These should not be taken too literally,

though. Beethoven himself seemed to warn

against this by writing onto the title page that

the music is “more an expression of feeling

than painting.”

WHAT TO LISTEN FOR

T

he first movement is about awakenings

— gentle ones, though. The distinction

is particularly apparent if you compare it to

the dramatic call to awaken that opens the

Fifth Symphony. As in that work, Beethoven

insists on rhythmic patterns with fixed

determination. Here, the summons is to a

new level of sensitivity and awareness, as if this

metaphorical trip to the country actually means

escaping the mundane experience of time. The

first movement revels in repeated sequences

that slowly shift in harmony: Beethoven almost

anticipates the giddy euphoria of Minimalism’s

recurring loops.

The lengthy slow movement takes this

principle of relaxation even further. It’s a

daring thing to do, coming right after an

opening movement that made a point of

removing dramatic tension. Yet Beethoven’s

exquisite orchestration (a quality not often

associated with this composer) adds color to the

flowing waves of melody. A series of woodwind

cadenzas near the end imitates various birdcalls

and is among the more explicitly extra-musical

references in the Pastoral.

This programmatic aspect comes to the fore in

the next two movements — though, again, note

that Beethoven intends no specific narrative.

The third movement’s “merry gathering”

adds earthiness to the innocence, imprinting

a vividly physical sense with its vigorous

rhythms — what a contrast to the ethereal

flow of the preceding movement! The dancing

and the raw humor of the peasants in the

Trio bring an abrupt change of meter. Clouds

overshadow the good times with ominous

pianissimo until the thunderstorm arrives in

full fury. Beethoven’s biting harmonies and

volume contrasts are enhanced by orchestral

effects of timpani and piercing piccolo. This

is the Pastoral’s tensest moment.

In the Fifth, terrible struggle leads the way

to blazing victory. The Pastoral’s finale is a

gentler thanksgiving. Woodwinds intone a

INCONCERT

CLASSICAL

hymn-like phrase leading to the wheeling

main theme, which is introduced by clarinet,

then passed on to the horn, elaborated by the

strings and, finally, given to the full ensemble.

Even though the spirit of relaxation here

is reminiscent of the first two movements,

Beethoven’s achievement is to make us feel as

though we’ve arrived at a new place. The coda

touches on a note of nostalgia before bringing

this idyll to a close.

The Symphony No. 6 is scored for piccolo, 2 flutes,

2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets,

2 trombones, timpani and strings.

Born on September 26, 1972,

in Berkeley, California

She currently resides in

Boonville, California

These are the orchestra’s

first performances and will be

recorded live for a forthcoming

release on Naxos.

O

“ nly in the United States could you hear

a story like mine, the daughter of an

immigrant, born in the hippie campus town

of Berkeley, with hearing loss,” says Gabriela

Lena Frank. “Yet I am a mix of American

cultural facets that were laid in place centuries

ago.” The child of a Peruvian mother of Chinese

descent and a father with a Lithuanian-Jewish

background, this remarkable composer

fearlessly navigates multicultural identities

in her creative work. The Conquest Requiem

is a particularly bold example that dramatizes

the violent, blood-stained, still unresolved

and still unfolding moment of confrontation

between the Old and New Worlds.

When the widely traveled Frank made her

first trip to her mother’s homeland of Peru

in 2000, it became a “mind-blowing, lifechanging

experience,” she recalls, and inspired

Three Latin American Dances (2003), her

second orchestral work, which marked an

early breakthrough.

The insatiably curious composer, who is

also a distinguished pianist and mentor, has

been highly sought after through commissions

and orchestral residencies (including one at

Vanderbilt’s Blair School of Music last year)

and received a Latin GRAMMY® Award in 2009

for Inca Dances, recorded by guitarist Manuel

Barrueco and Cuarteto Latinoamericano.

Many of Frank’s works involve some kind of

story in the form of a narrative or character.

She created the Conquest Requiem, among

her most ambitious scores to date, during

her tenure as composer-in-residence with

the Houston Symphony under music director

Andrés Orozco-Estrada. Here, the composer

juxtaposes the traditional Roman Catholic

Mass for the dead with decisive historical events

and characters from the Spanish conquest of

the Aztec Empire during the early 16th century.

But rather than focus on the standard narrative

36

MARCH 2020

CLASSICAL

as told by the victors — the Conquistadores

— Frank and her longtime collaborator, the

Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and poet

Nilo Cruz, craft a story from the perspective

of the conquered.

The Conquest Requiem homes in on the

figure of Malinche, a young Nahua woman

who was enslaved by the invading Spaniards

and eventually became the mistress of Hernán

Cortés. Malinche (sung here by soprano Jessica

Rivera) reflects on the Conquest not as an

heroic epic, but as a devastating tragedy. The

complexity of her own feelings, including

remorse, mirrors the contradictory facets of

her reputation.

The other chief character is Martín, Malinche’s

son by Cortés (sung here by baritone Andrew

Garland), whose existence as a mestizo points

to the new era that has come into being.

The chorus is omnipresent, tasked with the

commentator role familiar from ancient

Greek tragedy and singing in every one of

the Conquest Requiem’s seven movements.

The libretto combines three languages: the

Latin used in the Requiem liturgy; Nahuatl,

the classical language of the Aztecs; and new

verses in Spanish by Nilo Cruz, with whom

Frank is collaborating on a much anticipated

new opera about Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera

that will be premiered at San Diego Opera in

2021. Frank explains that she became more

involved in preparing the text than is her

usual custom, dramaturgically consulting

with Cruz about the story line and character

development. The resulting psychological

portrayal of Malinche and her pain reflects

Frank’s ongoing fascination with questions

of identity.

Who is being mourned and commemorated

in the Conquest Requiem? Frank explains

that she became aware of how so many

modern-day conflicts can be traced back

to this pivotal meeting of the Old and New

Worlds, when the one began to colonize the

other. “We’ve inherited all this baggage and

been grandfathered into a United States today

originating from that violence, and it affects

everyday issues. Even the issue of climate

change, when you realize that in this time

period [of the Conquest] there was a huge

depletion of resources being taken out, paving

the way for pollution and destruction of the

environment. This period laid some of the

groundwork for all of that.” The Conquest

Requiem thus poses the fundamental question:

“How do you reconcile this legacy?”

Frank recalls the profound impact of singing

in a chorus during her student years. “I never

forgot the massive universes these composers

were painting in their Requiems.” Benjamin

Britten’s War Requiem in particular became

the inspiration for the Conquest Requiem’s

combination of old and modern texts.

Frank decisively compresses and shortens

the traditional Latin liturgy while expanding

individual sections with the text in Nahuatl

and Spanish. She begins with the expected

Introitus praying for “eternal rest” (the source

of the term “Requiem”), but the solo soprano

soon introduces Malinche’s voice, singing a

mixture of Cruz’s poetry and verses that Frank

culled from an anthology of Nahuatl poetry

by Aztec princes and kings. At the end of the

first movement, the chorus sings the Kyrie, to

which Malinche adds lloro (“I cry”).

A vast portion of the work is then given to

Frank’s unconventional treatment of the Dies

irae, the series of prayers involving the Last

Judgment, which stretches across movements

two through six. Omitting the Offertory, Sanctus

and Agnus Dei sections of the Requiem Mass,

Frank instead sets In Paradisum in the seventh

and final movement. Technically, this is not

part of the Requiem Mass, but a prayer sung

as the choir accompanies the body from the

church to the place of burial. (The Requiems

of Britten and Fauré are two famous examples

that also include this prayer.)

Musically, Frank strove to imagine unusual

colors, blends and gestures. “I thought of

how the New World was unfathomable to

the people coming over. They had never seen

INCONCERT

37

CLASSICAL

people or even animals like this! I realized that

therefore the sound had to be luminous and

striking.” Listen, for example, to the double

basses playing at the extreme high end of their

register along with marimbas and harps in the

Recordare, or for the oscillating marimbas in

the In Paradisum.

Frank frequently uses the high and low ends

of the register to generate a sense of wonder.

The orchestra, she points out, is “every bit

as important as the singers” in this sound

world. As for the vocal lines, Frank says she

frequently uses an operatic style — recitative

and dramatic arias for the soloists — while

testing out different levels of orchestral weight

behind them.

IN THE COMPOSER’S WORDS

Frank has provided the following commentary

on her Conquest Requiem:

M

“ uch has been written of the violent

meeting of the Old and New Worlds that

produced the Americas — North, Central and

South — known to the world today. Over the

centuries since, key figures have emerged —

conquistadores Cristoforo Colombo, Hernán

Cortés and Francisco Pizarro; chroniclers

Bernal Díaz del Castillo, the native Garcilaso

de la Vega and the Dominican friar Bartolomé

de las Casas — as especially emblematic of

the cataclysm that was the Conquest. These

men and countless others bore witness and,

oftentimes, great responsibility for the death

and destruction of entire societies while

simultaneously having a hand in the birth of

new mestizo (mixed-race) civilizations.

“Against such grand historical strokes, the

stories of ordinary people are easily swept

away but for the efforts of creative imagination,

employed here in the Conquest Requiem.

This piece is inspired by the true story of

Malinche, a Nahua woman from the Gulf Coast

of Mexico who was given to the Spaniards

as a young slave. Malinche’s ever-evolving

prowess as an interpreter of her native Nahuatl,

various Mayan dialects and Spanish elevated

her position such that she would convert to

Christianity and become mistress to Cortés

during his war against the Aztecs. She would

later give birth to their son Martín, one of the

first mestizos of the New World.

“While Malinche has been conflated with

Aztec legends, she has been variously viewed

as feminist hero who saved countless lives,

treacherous villain who facilitated genocide,

conflicted victim of forces beyond her control,

or as symbolic mother of the new mestizo

people.

“In the Conquest Requiem, Malinche’s story is

the linchpin for the juxtaposition of traditional

liturgical verses from the Latin Mass for the

dead against Nahua poetry as chronicled from

the mouths of fallen indigenous princes. Newly

composed Spanish words from playwright/

poet Nilo Cruz round out the text.”

In addition to solo soprano, solo baritone and

mixed chorus, the Conquest Requiem is scored

for 3 flutes (3rd doubling piccolo), 3 oboes (3rd

doubling English horn), 3 clarinets (3rd doubling

bass clarinet), 3 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets,

2 trombones, tuba, timpani, 3 percussionists,

piano, harp and strings.

TUESDAY, MARCH 24, AT 7:30 PM

JUDY COLLINS

NASHVILLE SYMPHONY

NATHAN ASPINALL, conductor

Selections to be announced from the stage.

This concert will last approximately

2 hours, including a 20-minute intermission.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

JUDY

COLLINS

Judy Collins has long

inspired audiences

with her sublime vocals,

boldly vulnerable songwriting, personal

triumphs and a firm commitment to social

activism. In the 1960s, she evoked both

the idealism and steely determination of

a generation united against social and

environmental injustices. Five decades later,

her luminescent presence shines brightly as

new generations bask in the glow of her iconic,

55-album body of work and heed inspiration

from her spiritual discipline to thrive in the

music industry for half a century.

The award-winning singer-songwriter is

esteemed for her imaginative interpretations

of traditional and contemporary folk standards

and her own poetically poignant original

compositions. Her stunning rendition of Joni

Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” from her landmark

1967 album Wildflowers has been entered into

the GRAMMY® Hall of Fame. Judy’s dreamy

and sweetly intimate version of “Send in the

Clowns,” a ballad written by Stephen Sondheim

for the Broadway musical A Little Night Music,

won Song of the Year at the 1975 GRAMMY®

Awards. She’s earned several Top 10 hits and

Gold- and Platinum-selling albums. Artists

including Rufus Wainwright, Shawn Colvin,

Dolly Parton, Joan Baez and Leonard Cohen

honored her legacy with the album Born to

the Breed: A Tribute to Judy Collins.

Collins is as creatively vigorous as ever,

writing, touring worldwide and nurturing

fresh talent. She is a modern-day Renaissance

woman who is also an accomplished painter,

filmmaker, record label head, musical mentor

and an in-demand keynote speaker for mental

health and suicide prevention. She continues

to create music of hope and healing that lights

up the world and speaks to the heart.

NASHVILLE SYMPHONY

LEGACY SOCIETY

LEAVING A LEGACY, BUILDING A FUTURE

The Nashville Symphony is grateful to those donors who have remembered the orchestra in their

estate plans. Legacy gifts to the Nashville Symphony help Middle Tennessee’s resident orchestra

achieve its mission of making beautiful music, reaching diverse audiences and improving life in our

community for generations to come through the following:

– World-class performances of enduring orchestral music, from Bach to Beethoven to Bernstein

– Affordable ticket prices for music lovers of all ages and backgrounds

– Commissions and recordings of America’s leading composers, who are keeping classical music

relevant for 21st-century audiences

– Life-changing education programs that provide inspiration, instruction and mentorship for

students from kindergarten through high school

– The acoustical brilliance of Schermerhorn Symphony Center, a venue

built to serve the entire community

Be “instrumental” in our success by sharing your passion for music with future generations.

For more information on the many creative ways to make a planned gift, please visit
