Notes on the Program
Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) is recognized by many as one of the greatest contributing voices to the western symphonic practice. Tchaikovsky left an impactful legacy of compositions—notable themes from The Nutcracker and 1812 Overture maintain presence in modern pop culture. Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings was written in the style of one of Tchaikovsky’s idols: Mozart. The first movement, performed today, was originally composed in a sonata form with introduction and coda, though this arrangement slightly modifies that form. It begins with an expressive choral introduction, leads into a faster and playful section, and triumphantly concludes with a reprisal of the passionate opening theme.
Giuseppi Verdi (1813-1901) is considered an influential composer in the Italian operatic tradition. Verdi’s opera Nabucco premiered in 1842, and was hailed as an instant success. The overture performed today samples melodies pulled from the entire opera’s score. One of the most popular themes in the opera “Va Pensiero,” heard first in the overture by the oboe, clarinet, and trumpet, was an incredibly well known and cherished melody in Italian society during Verdi’s life. It was apparently sung spontaneously by thousands of attendees at Verdi’s funeral in 1901.
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) is lauded in history books as one of the five esteemed Russian composers who worked to create a national style of composition, a group known as “The Five.” Unlike many composers who created their works first seated at the piano, Rimsky-Korsakov often penned his music directly for the orchestra. When Tchaikovsky attended the premiere of Capriccio Espagnol in 1887, he hailed the work as a “colossal masterpiece of orchestration.” Capriccio Espagnol has five movements, each featuring music based on Spanish themes.
