PROGRAM NOTES_________________
Waltz from “The Sleeping Beauty”, Op. 66
I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream
!I know you, that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
And I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you, I know what you'll do!
You'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream
Lyrics by Sammy Fain & Jack Lawrence
set to Tchaikovsky’ melody
for Walt Disney’s “Sleeping Beauty” (1959)
Known as the “Kirov” during Soviet times, Saint Petersburg’s Mariinsky
Theater became Russia’s Imperial Theater in 1886. Director Ivan
Vsevolozhsky commissioned choreographer Marius Petipa to work with
Tchaikovsky for a new production in 1888. Vsevolozhsky designed the
sets and costumes himself, creating one of the most lavish productions in
the history of ballet.
The subject matter is the familiar tale of a sleeping princess, a story as
old as the 14th century. Variants abound including those of Charles
Perrault (La Belle au bois dormant), the Brothers Grimm (Dornröschen) and,
ultimately, Walt Disney. A mythical king and queen’s first born daughter
(“Aurora”) is cursed by a jealous witch at her christening: She will prick
her finger on a spinning wheel and die upon her sixteenth birthday.
Magical fairies spring to her aid and mitigate the curse: Aurora will not
die but will instead fall into a deep sleep, from which only the kiss of a
prince will awaken her.
The present waltz takes place early in Act I. Princess Aurora’s sixteenth
birthday has arrived. The king is nervous: He has forbidden the spinning
of yarn throughout his kingdom and comes very close to executing a
group of old women who didn’t get the message. But the rest of the
kingdom is in full celebration. Princess Aurora has come of age and will
soon be wed.
The ballet only received modest acclaim at its premier in 1890; Tsar
Alexander III politely called it “nice.” While Tchaikovsky may have
hoped for a more enthusiastic response, the work was successful enough.
Two years later, Vsevolozhsky approached him with a commission for
yet another ballet: “The Nutcracker”.
Variations on a Rococo Theme, Op. 33
"Many people keep dropping in unexpectedly; it seems that everyone in Saint
Petersburg is holding me back, when I had stupidly imagined that it would be
possible to take advantage of the holidays to work."
- Peter Illych Tchaikovsky, 1877
Despite his complaints, early 1877 did prove a productive time for
Tchaikovsky, seeing the completion of a Valse-scherzo for violin, his
fourth symphony and the present variations for cello and orchestra.
(Despite its title, the theme is entirely original and indicates only
Tchaikovsky's admiration for Mozart and the classical period.) He
dedicated the work to Wilhelm Fitzenhagen, a fellow professor at the
Moscow Conservatory. Fitzenhagen gave the premiere late in 1877 under
the baton of Nikolai Rubinstein.
A flurry of correspondence ensued over Fitzenhagen's handling of the
work. Tchaikovsky's publisher wrote in horror at how the cellist had
made sweeping changes to the work—rearranging the order, rewriting
the cello part, deleting variations, &c.— allegedly all with the composer's
approval. "Loathsome Fitzenhagen! He is most insistent on making
changes to your cello piece!" Fitzenhagen's changes ultimately found
their way into the published score (this is the version we will hear
PROGRAM NOTES_________________
tonight) and it was not until 1941 that scholars attempted to reconstruct
Tchaikovsky's original. Whether or not he had the composer's approval,
it is known that Fitzenhagen's subsequent performances gained great
acclaim. A performance at Wiesbaden in 1879 earned a thunderous
ovation and inspired no less than Franz Liszt himself to comment, "This
is truly music!"
Symphony No. 5 in E Minor, Op.64
“Evidently, Herr Avé-Lallemant harbours a deep prejudice against Russia, and I
tried as far as I could to mitigate his hostile feelings towards our country.”
- Peter Illyich Tchaikovsky
To the outside world, Russia was a hopeless mess in the late 19th
century. “Slavophilia,” the belief that Russians should reject
Westernisms (i.e. the rationality of Germany) in favor of pure “Slavdom,” took over. Not surprisingly, this played poorly in an ethnically
pluralistic country that stretched from the Baltics to the Orient. Tsar
Alexander II implemented some reforms but was killed in a bombing by
the left-wing terrorist group Narodnaya Volya in 1881. By the close of the
century, an overwhelming number of Russians lived on subsistence
farming and in grinding poverty.
Seeing the backwardness of Russia, Theodor Friedrich Avé-Lallemant, a
Hamburg music teacher and friend of Brahms and Schumann, tried to
persuade Peter Tchaikovsky to emigrate to Germany. Avé-Lallemant
openly confessed that there was much in Tchaikovsky’s music that he
found distasteful: that notorious love of brass and percussion, certainly.
But deep inside, he saw Tchaikovsky as a man who would flourish in the
proper, civilized environment of Germany.
Tchaikovsky declined the invitation, but the two became close friends.
Avé-Lallemant attended a concert of Tchaikovsky’s music in Hamburg
and invited the young Russian to his home afterwards. He further made
arrangements for a sitting with a renowned photographer to get a proper
portrait of the composer. Tchaikovsky returned Avé-Lallemant’s
friendship with the dedication of the present symphony.
The work makes a fine gift for a man who played both French horn and
organ. After! the gruff clomping and Stygian growls of the first
movement, the second movement presents the listener with a horn solo
of liquid gold, mournfully noble. The waltz strolls with lopsided
goofiness and the fourth movement could well be organ music: A
majestic chorale is overtaken in a swirling rampage only to return in
triumph and glory.
Alas, Avé-Lallemant never heard the work. It premiered in Saint
Petersburg in 1888; a performance in Hamburg followed in 1889, but by
then Avé-Lallemant was too ill to attend. He passed away the following
year. A friend sent condolences to Tchaikovsky, stating that receiving the
dedication of the symphony was “...the most distinguishing event in his
life.”
- Notes by Robert Horton, 2015
ARTISTS_________________________
ANTHONY ARNONE, “a cellist with rich tonal resources, fine subtlety and a keen
sense of phrasing” (Gramophone), enjoys a varied career as a soloist, chamber
musician, conductor, recording artist, and teacher throughout the country and
around the world. Mr. Arnone is associate professor of cello at The University of
Iowa School of Music, and is also on the faculty of the Preucil School of Music in
Iowa City, where he teaches and conducts. During summers he teaches at the
Madeline Island Music Camp.
Mr. Arnone has collaborated with many of today’s great chamber ensembles and
artists, including members of the Pro Arte Quartet, Cypress Quartet, Fry Street
Quartet, and Arianna Quartet. Performances have taken him around the United
States and Europe to many of the leading concert venues as soloist, chamber
musician, and conductor. Mr. Arnone’s recordings with Albany and VAI have
received acclaimed reviews in prominent music journals and online classical sites.
An avid performer of the Bach Suites, Mr. Arnone wrote and self-published his
own edition of the six Cello Suites with a composed second cello “continuo” part to
aid in teaching and performance.
As a cello soloist and chamber musician, Mr. Arnone was a founding member of
the Meridien Trio and the Sedgewick String Quartet, which performed regularly at
the Spoleto Festival in Charleston. More recently, he has been part of the Matisse
Trio, a faculty trio at The University of Iowa, which has played throughout the
United States and at international conferences.
Mr. Arnone’s love of teaching has taken him throughout the country to give master
classes, including Oberlin College and the Cleveland Institute of Music. At home,
Mr. Arnone brings celebrated teachers and performers to The University of Iowa
for the annual “Cello Daze,” a weekend of lectures, concerts, and master classes.
Past guests include Richard Aaron, Colin Carr, Hans Jensen, Bonnie Hampton, Joel
Krosnick, Norman Fischer, Marc Johnson, Anthony Ross, and Robert DeMaine.
A native of Honolulu, Mr. Arnone received his bachelor of music degree from the
New England Conservatory of Music, where he studied with Colin Carr. He left
graduate studies with Bonnie Hampton at the San Francisco Conservatory to accept
a position with the Orchestré Philharmonique de Nice, France, where he remained
for two years, continuing his studies with Paul and Maude Tortelier. He later
returned to the United States to complete his master’s degree in conducting at
Wichita State University. Before coming to The University of Iowa, Mr. Arnone was
principal cellist of the Madison Symphony, and taught at Ripon College in
Wisconsin. He has also taught and performed at the Eastern Music Festival, the
Stonybrook Music Camp, the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, SC. and the Festival
Dei Due Mondi in Spoleto, Italy, where he was co-principal cellist for seven years.
CHRISTOPHER STANICHAR is the Principal Conductor of the Northwest Iowa
Symphony, an ensemble of some of the finest musicians in northwest Iowa and
southeast South Dakota. Stanichar was appointed to this position in 2011,
following a number of guest appearances.
Stanichar has continued NISO’s
tradition of artistic excellence, innovative programming, and collaborations with
guest artists from the region and beyond. Stanichar leads NISO in three concerts
per season, in addition to the annual Concert for Children given each November for
over 900 area 4 , 5 , and 6 grade students. He has been praised for “his obvious
energy, great joy directing, and outright enthusiasm.” (Peter Wagner, Northwest
Iowa Review).
In addition to his position with Northwest Iowa Symphony Orchestra, Stanichar
conducts the South Dakota Symphony Youth Orchestra and the Worthington Area
Symphony Orchestra in Minnesota.
th
th
th
Stanichar has conducted professional orchestras in Europe, Russia, Mexico, and the
United States, including the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra, St. Petersburg
Symphony Orchestra (Russia), Sochi Symphony Orchestra (Russia), Orquesta
Sinfónico Juvenil del Estado de Veracruze (Mexico), and many orchestras in the
United States.
Stanichar earned his Doctorate of Musical Arts in conducting at the Cincinnati
College-Conservatory of Music where he was a student of Gerard Samuel. In 1996
he was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to study conducting in Slovakia, where he
appeared as a guest conductor of many top orchestras in that country. In 1997 he
was appointed Conducting Assistant for the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra,
where he was mentored by maestros Jesús López-Cobos and Erich Kunzel.
Stanichar is an active composer; his works have been commissioned and performed
throughout the world. His Trisagion was used in the Ric Burns’ PBS documentary,
Andy Warhol. More recent projects include a full-length cantata, St. Mark Passion,
ARTISTS_________________________
written as part of a Granskou grant for the 150 anniversary of Augustana College.
His Variations on a Theme by Handel for string orchestra is featured in the
independent film, Dust of War. TrevCo-Varner Music has published several of his
works for English horn.
Stanichar enjoys making music with his wife, Kristi; they are blessed with four
children, all of whom are active in music.
