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.

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.

(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

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.
