Dear Friends and Patrons,

As we come to the end of the year, please join me and give thanks for the presence of this wonderful orchestra in our lives and the life of our city.

Thank you for being present today. Your interest, applause, and enthusiasm are inspiring to our musicians. We do not take your decision to attend lightly. We know that there is much competition in Fresno for your time and entertainment dollars.

Rather than write about the challenges that the Philharmonic faces, let me dwell on the impact made possible by your participation as ticket buyers and donors to the Annual Fund.

Your support allows us to bring programs like the one you hear today to you throughout the year. The presence of a great orchestra and Music Director in our community enriches our lives, fosters community pride, and creates moments of great beauty. The appearance of superb guest artists, whether the established stars, like those you hear today, or the emerging artists, like Lukas Vondracek or Chad Hoopes, gives Fresno a reputation for artistic excellence.

Half of the orchestra musicians on stage hail from Los Angeles, San Francisco or beyond. These musicians – sometimes referred to as the Freeway Philharmonic for the number of orchestras they perform in -- make the Fresno Philharmonic as good as it is. Your contributed dollars help us to bring these musicians into our community.

This past year, over 8000 young schoolchildren benefitted from your generosity as donors. Your gifts allowed us to present Vivaldi’s Ring of Mystery last month to three full houses of children, many of whom were experiencing an orchestra for the first time. More children experienced world-class artistry through the visits of our guest soloists to local schools throughout the year. The children’s rapt attention and thank you letters indicates that your gifts have a profound impact on their young lives and their broader education.

Only through the collective determination of an entire community will great music and a professional orchestra be preserved in Fresno. As you contemplate your year-end, tax deductible, charitable giving, please keep your Fresno Philharmonic in mind. We cannot exist without the full support of our community’s music lovers. These challenging economic times will not last forever. With your participation, the Fresno Philharmonic will continue to add beauty, inspiration, and entertainment to your lives now, and we will be here when the “good times” come again.

Thank you for your presence and support. I wish you and yours the very best for this holiday season and for a very musical New Year!

Don ReinholdExecutive Director


From the PodiumTheodore Kuchar, Music Director

Message From the Executive Director

Dear Friends and Patrons,

The first three months of the current Fresno Philharmonic season have brought me several of the most artistically gratifying performances I have personally experienced in recent times. Not only have the orchestra and I collaborated in memorable performances of Mozart, Dvorak, Rimsky-Korsakov, Chopin, Shostakovich and Tchaikovsky but each of our concerts have featured guest artists - James Galway, Lukas Vondracek, Orli Shaham and Chad Hoopes - who are, at this very moment, regularly featured soloists in the greatest musical capitals of the world. The quality of orchestral performances, which are brought to Fresno on a regular basis, is of no less prestige and acclaim to what is taken for granted in New York, London, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

It goes without saying that without your commitment and ongoing support none of this would be possible...or even necessary. There is no question that the responsibilities of my position with the Fresno Philharmonic are numerous. The two responsibilities that I feel most committed to are cultivating and maintaining an orchestra of the highest possible level, and attracting guest soloists to Fresno whose presence secures this region’s reputation as one of the cultural centers of the regional United States. As you can imagine, the orchestra is continuously confronted with the economic hardships that affect every corner of today’s existence. Although we, today, live with the glory of the accomplishments of our most recent past, there is a constant fear of where things may stand exactly one year from now. Having now reached the end of 2010 and in the midst of the most thought-provoking time of the year, a period that often inspires demonstrations of goodwill and appreciation, would you please be so kind as to consider the pleasure and satisfaction the Fresno Philharmonic has provided you and those closest to you. Without your support and commitment, more so now than at any time in the orchestra’s existence, the Fresno Philharmonic’s future will undoubtedly be sacrificed. Without the Fresno Philharmonic, the life of Central California will be highly compromised by the disappearance of the region’s most acclaimed cultural asset. Please, be so kind and keep the well-being of the Fresno Philharmonic at the forefront of your thoughts.

With my very warmest wishes to you and those closest to you,

Theodore KucharMusic Director

It came upon the midnight clear,That glorious song of old,From angels bending near the earth,To touch their harps of gold;“Peace on the earth, good will to men,From Heaven’s all gracious King.”The world in solemn stillness lay,To hear the angels sing.

Hark the herald angels sing“Glory to the newborn King!Peace on earth and mercy mildGod and sinners reconciled”Joyful, all ye nations riseJoin the triumph of the skiesWith the angelic host proclaim:“Christ is born in Bethlehem”Hark! The herald angels sing“Glory to the newborn King!”

Joy to the world! the Lord is come;Let earth receive her King;Let every heart prepare him room,And heaven and nature sing,And heaven and nature sing,And heaven, and heaven, and nature sing.

“No work has ever created such a sensation as the Italian opera The Marriage of Figaro,” reported the Prague Oberpostamtszeitung on December 12, 1786. “Connoisseurs who have also seen this opera in Vienna assert that it has been done much better here. Word of this triumph must have reached the ears of Mozart himself, for rumor has it that he will come here in person to see the performance.” The rumor proved to be correct — Mozart and his wife, Constanze, left Vienna on January 8, 1787, and arrived in the Bohemian capital three days later. On January 17th, after a week of having been entertained, feted and lionized by the city’s nobility, Mozart put in a public

appearance at the Prague Opera House for the performance of Figaro. “Word of his presence spread through the theater at once,” reported the local press, “and as soon as the overture was finished, the whole audience broke into applause, honoring and welcoming him.” The response five days later, when he conducted his own opera from the keyboard, was tumultuous. It is not surprising that he told a friend, “Prague is indeed a very beautiful and agreeable place.”

As well as being a witness to the performances of Figaro in Prague, Mozart also hoped to present a concert of his instrumental music during his stay, so he brought along, among other items, the grand new symphony that he had completed on December 6, 1786. With the help of his host in Prague, Count Johann Josef Thun (for whom he had written the “Linz” Symphony four years before), and the composer Franz Dussek, an acquaintance from his Salzburg days, Mozart was able to organize a program for his own benefit on January 19th at the local opera house. Mozart introduced the new symphony he had brought with him from Vienna, played some concerted works, and offered a half hour of improvisation at the keyboard, but the audience demanded more, so he extemporized a dozen brilliant variations on Non più andrai from Figaro. “The great artist perfectly fulfilled all that had been expected of him,” summarized one reviewer. Mozart stayed in Prague until mid-February, thoroughly enjoying what was one of the happiest times of his life. When he left, he took away not only the unstinting praises of the city and a substantial cache of earnings but also a contract from Pasquale Bondini, impresario of the Prague Opera, to write a new stage work for the fall season — Don Giovanni.

The Symphony (No. 38, D major, K. 504) that Mozart premiered at his Prague concert, and which has always borne the name of that city as its sobriquet, opens with an extended introduction whose turbulent moods presage the darker pages of Don Giovanni. Mozart, one of music’s most fecund melodists, is positively profligate with themes in the Allegro that comprises the main body of the movement. Musicologist Alfred Einstein counted “almost a dozen” motives that are welded into an expansive sonata form enriched by some of Mozart’s most masterful contrapuntal writing. The long-limbed and lyrical Andante, another fully developed sonata form, is one of those pieces of Mozart’s maturity that exquisitely balance an ineffable serenity with a whole world of pathos and poignant emotions. The quicksilver finale, the third of the Symphony’s sonata forms, was a particular delight at its premiere to Figaro-mad Prague, since Mozart borrowed the theme for the movement from the opera’s Act II duet of Susanna and Cherubino, Aprite presto.

Giovanni Bottesini, composer, conductor and the pre-eminent double bass virtuoso of the mid-19th century, was born on December 24, 1821 in the small town of Crema, in the northern Italian province of Lombardy. His father, Pietro, a clarinetist and composer, early taught his son the rudiments of music, and before he was eleven, young Giovanni had sung in several choirs, played timpani in the local theater orchestra, and studied violin with one of the town’s leading performers. Bottesini’s father took his precocious son to Milan in 1835 with hope of enrolling him in the Conservatory, but they learned upon their arrival that scholarships remained only for players of bassoon and double bass. Giovanni applied himself with such vigor to the latter instrument that he was accepted into the school only a few weeks later, and he began his formal studies there on November 1, 1835. He left the Conservatory four years later, having obtained a graduation prize for his solo playing. With his winnings, Bottesini purchased a fine instrument made by the old Milanese master Giuseppe Testore that, legend has it, the young musician found beneath a pile of rubbish in a puppet theater. (Bottesini’s instrument had only three strings, tuned a tone higher than usual so that he could more easily adapt much of the cello repertory for his use.)

During the decade after 1839, while he was perfecting his technique, Bottesini lived as a free-lance musician, a period that included a residence in Havana in 1846 as principal bassist of the orchestra of the Teatro Tacon, the production there of his first opera (based, appropriately, on the subject of Cristoforo Colombo), and a sensational tour of the United States. (One enterprising jeweler got rich peddling pins in the likeness of the visiting virtuoso.) Bottesini returned to Europe, and he was so successful in his concert debut in Crema in 1849 that he was soon in demand as a soloist across the Continent and in England. In that same year, he was appointed principal bassist

of the Teatro San Benedetto in Venice, where he befriended Giuseppe Verdi. Bottesini’s playing, with its extraordinary agility, purity of tone, precision of intonation and exquisite phrasing, continued to astound audiences for more than four decades — he was universally known as the “Paganini of the Double Bass.” In addition to his performing engagements, Bottesini also held several important conducting assignments, gaining special notice

for his interpretations of Italian opera in Paris, London, Barcelona, St. Petersburg, Madrid and New Orleans (he visited the United States three times, and was named an honorary member of the Philharmonic Society of New York in 1850). The high point of his podium career came when he conducted the premiere of Verdi’s Aida on Christmas Eve 1871 in Cairo to celebrate the opening of the Suez Canal. The last months before his death, on July 7, 1889, were spent as director of the Parma Conservatory.

Bottesini’s compositions encompass a dozen Italian operas, a Requiem, an English-language oratorio (The Garden of Olivet) for the Norwich Festival, several short orchestral pieces, eleven string quartets and numerous other chamber works, and a large quantity of music for the double bass, including two

solo concertos, the Grand Duo Concertante for violin and bass, virtuoso fantasies on operatic themes, and miscellaneous scores with the accompaniment of piano or orchestra. His works, like those of Verdi, are characterized by their emphasis on lyricism, plangent harmonies and straightforward emotional appeal built with solid craftsmanship. The Double Bass Concerto No. 2 in B minor is testament both to Bottesini’s considerable craft as a composer and to his breathtaking performance technique, which emphasized not only his agility on the orchestra’s most recalcitrant instrument but also the high, baritonal register that was his specialty. The Concerto opens with a fantasia-like movement built from the doleful arching melody given by the bass at the outset, with formal balance provided not by conventional thematic contrast but by elaborate passages of figuration for the soloist. The Andante is a sweetly sentimental, basso profundo aria without words, a concert-hall analog to a scene from one of Bottesini’s operas. The finale is a brilliant showpiece for double bass whose Gypsy-inflected thematic material and vibrant, dancing spirit recall the fiery Hungarian Csárdás.

(F-sharp, B, E, A) which ends during the second orchestral tutti section, hinting at the possibility of a recapitulation and a return to D major. But this does not happen. After the second tutti, the movement ends quickly and quietly in F-sharp, concluding with an exact repetition of the opening phrase by the solo bass in the next context. The second movement is a melancholy serenade, staying primarily in B for its entire span. Its somber mood is interrupted only once by a brief tutti section. The final movement returns to D major. It is an energetic rondo which shows off some technical possibilities of the bass.”

In the summer of 1802, Beethoven’s physician ordered him to leave Vienna and take rooms in Heiligenstadt, today a friendly suburb at the northern terminus of the city’s subway system, but two centuries ago a quiet village with a view of the Danube across the river’s rich flood plain. It was three years earlier, in 1799, that Beethoven first noticed a disturbing ringing and buzzing in his ears, and he sought medical attention for the problem soon after. He tried numerous cures for his malady, as well as for his chronic colic, including oil of almonds, hot and cold baths, soaking in the Danube, pills and herbs. For a short time, he even considered the modish treatment of electric shock. On the advice of his latest doctor, Beethoven left the noisy city for the quiet countryside with the assurance that the lack of stimulation would be beneficial to his hearing and his general health.

In Heiligenstadt, Beethoven virtually lived the life of a hermit, seeing only his doctor and a young student named Ferdinand Ries. In 1802, Beethoven was still a full decade from being totally deaf. The acuity of his hearing varied from day to day (sometimes governed by his interest — or lack thereof — in the surrounding conversation), but he had largely lost his ability to hear soft sounds by that time, and loud noises caused him pain. Of one of their walks in the country, Ries reported, “I called his attention to a shepherd who was piping very agreeably in the woods on a flute made of a twig of elder. For half an hour, Beethoven could hear nothing, and though I assured him that it was the same with me (which was not the case), he became extremely quiet and morose. When he occasionally seemed to be merry, it was generally to the extreme of boisterousness; but this happens seldom.” In addition to the distress over his health, Beethoven was also wounded in 1802 by the wreck of an affair of the heart. He had proposed


The composer writes of his Double Bass Concerto, “Solo double bass and orchestra is not a natural pairing. The orchestra, with its combined instrumentation, is capable of a huge variety of dynamics and colors, whereas the bass is not a very loud instrument and has a predominantly dark sound. The ambition of this piece, however, is to bring out the qualities of the bass that make it a surprisingly good solo instrument. At best, the bass is very vocal and able to convey a wide range of emotion. The five-and-a-half-octave range used in this piece provides, if nothing else, a bit of drama. And the indigenous involvement of the bass in many styles of music other than classical provides a natural springboard from which to explore the intersection of some of these styles with classical music.

“The first movement is exploratory in nature. It opens with a declamatory D major, a sound not heard again until the third movement. The longest harmonically stable sections of this movement are in F-sharp, although there is a long circle of fifths

A native of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Scott received his Bachelor of Music degree from Arizona State University, where he was a student of Sam Pilafian. Scott also attended the San Francisco Conservatory of Music as a student of Floyd Cooley, then principal tuba of the San Francisco Symphony.

Scott is a full-time professional musician, keeping a schedule which includes private studio teaching and performing with orchestras not only here in Fresno, but also in the Bay Area. He frequently performs with the San Francisco Symphony, Santa Rosa Symphony, San Francisco Ballet, Carmel Bach Festival and also records with Skywalker Studios. Currently Scott is the Principal Tuba with the Fresno Philharmonic, Oakland East Bay Symphony, Napa Valley Symphony, Vallejo Symphony & Stockton Symphony.

Scott is also the tuba lecturer at Fresno Pacific University, UC Davis and San Jose State.

marriage to Giulietta Guicciardi (the thought of Beethoven as a husband threatens the moorings of one’s presence of mind!), but had been denied permission by the girl’s father for the then perfectly valid reason that the young composer was without rank, position or fortune. Faced with the extinction of a musician’s most precious faculty, fighting a constant digestive distress, and unsuccessful in love, it is little wonder that Beethoven was sorely vexed.

On October 6, 1802, following several months of wrestling with his misfortunes, Beethoven penned the most famous letter ever written by a musician — the “Heiligenstadt Testament.” Intended as a will written to his brothers (it was never sent, though he kept it in his papers to be found after his death), it is a cry of despair over his fate, perhaps a necessary and self-induced soul-cleansing in those pre-Freudian days. “O Providence — grant me at last but one day of pure joy — it is so long since real joy echoed in my heart,” he lamented. But — and this is the miracle — he not only poured his energy into self-pity, he also channeled it into music. “I shall grapple with fate; it shall never pull me down,” he resolved. The next five years were the most productive he ever knew. “I live only in my music,” Beethoven wrote, “and I have scarcely begun one thing when I start another.” Symphonies Nos. 2-5, a dozen piano sonatas, the Fourth Piano Concerto and the Triple Concerto, Fidelio, and many songs, chamber works and keyboard compositions were all completed between 1802 and 1806. Of all these works, the Second Symphony is the one that most belies the difficult year of its birth.

The Symphony opens with a long introduction moving with a stately tread. The sonata form begins with the arrival of the fast tempo and the appearance of the main theme, a brisk melody

first entrusted to the low strings. Characteristic Beethovenian energy dominates the transition to the second theme, a martial strain paraded by the winds. The development includes two large sections, one devoted to the main theme and its quick, flashing rhythmic figure, the other exploring the possibilities of the marching theme. The recapitulation compresses the earlier material to allow a lengthy coda to conclude the movement.

The esteemed English musicologist Donald Tovey thought the Larghetto to be “one of the most luxurious slow movements in the world”; Sir George Grove commented on its “elegant, indolent beauty.” So lyrical is its principal theme that, by appending some appropriate words, Isaac Watts converted it into the hymn Kingdoms and Thrones to God Belong. The movement is in a full sonata form, with the first violins giving out the second theme above a rocking accompaniment in the bass.

Beethoven labeled the third movement “Scherzo,” the first appearance of this term in his symphonies, though the comparable movement of the First Symphony was a true scherzo in all but name. Faster in tempo and more boisterous in spirit than the minuet traditionally found in earlier symphonies, the scherzo became an integral part not only of Beethoven’s later works, but also of those of most 19th-century composers. A rising three-note fragment runs through much of the scherzo proper, while the central trio gives prominence to the oboes and a delightful walking-bass counterpoint in the bassoons.

The finale continues the bubbling high spirits of the scherzo. Formally a hybrid of sonata and rondo, it possesses a wit and structure indebted to Haydn, but a dynamism that is Beethoven’s alone. The long coda intensifies the bursting exuberance of the music, and carries it along to the closing pages of the movement.

Edgar Meyer, born in Tulsa, Oklahoma on November 24, 1960, has established a reputation not only as one of the leading instrumentalists of his generation, but also as an innovative and frequently performed composer. He began studying bass at age five with his father, a schoolteacher and free-lance bassist, and completed his undergraduate degree at Indiana University in 1984 as a pupil of Stuart Sankey; he is largely self-taught as a composer. Meyer has won numerous competitions, including the 1981 Zimmerman-Mingus Competition, the first international bass competition held in the United States; in 1994, he became the first bassist to receive an Avery Fisher Career Grant. From 1985 to 1995, he was the regular bass player for the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival; he composed six works for the Festival. He joined the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center as an Artist Member in 1994, and now performs as recitalist, soloist and chamber musician across the country. He is also Visiting Professor of Double Bass at the Royal Academy of Music in London and Adjunct Associate

Professor of Double Bass at the Blair School of Music of Vanderbilt University.

Meyer’s performance collaborations exhibit an enormous range of styles, from classical to country, from jazz to bluegrass, with artists as diverse as the Guarneri Quartet and James Taylor. He is the first bass player to be featured as a bowed soloist on mainstream radio in multiple #1 hits, including Kathy Mattea’s Where Have You Been, which won the CMA, ACM and Grammy awards for Country Song of the Year in 1990. Among the other artists with whom Meyer has recorded are Garth Brooks, Bruce Cockburn, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Hank Williams, Jr., T-Bone Burnett, Reba McIntyre, The Indigo Girls, Emmylou Harris, Chick Corea, Lyle Lovett, Travis Tritt and The Chieftains. From 1986 to 1992, Meyer played with the progressive bluegrass band “Strength in Numbers,” whose other members included Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Bela Fleck and Mark O’Connor. In 1991, he was featured in both the Wall Street Journal and CBS Sunday Morning.

In March 1993, Meyer premiered his Bass Concerto with Edo de Waart and the Minnesota Orchestra; two years later he recorded his Bass Quintet with the Emerson String Quartet on Deutsche Grammophon. In August 1995, he gave the first performance of his Double Concerto with cellist Carter Brey, for which he had received a grant from the Meet the Composer/Reader’s Digest Commissioning Program. In February 1996, he was part of a television broadcast of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center on the “Live from Lincoln Center” series with Emanuel Ax, Pamela Frank, Rebecca Young and Yo-Yo Ma, which included Schubert’s “Trout” Quintet as well as a set of variations on the “Trout” theme commissioned from Meyer for the occasion. His Violin Concerto, with Hilary Hahn as soloist and Hugh Wolff conducting the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, was released on Sony Classics in March 2000. During the 1995-1996 season, Meyer toured and recorded as part of a trio with cellist Yo-Yo Ma and fiddler Mark O’Connor; their Sony Classics album, Appalachia Waltz, topped the classical CD charts for sixteen weeks. Meyer’s subsequent cross-stylistic collaborations, as both performer and composer, include Uncommon Ritual (1997, with Bela Fleck and Mike Marshall), Short Trip Home (1999, with Joshua Bell, Sam Bush and Mike Marshall), and two Grammy-winning cross-over albums: Appalachian Journey (2000, with Yo-Yo Ma and Mark O’Connor) and Perpetual Motion (with Bela Fleck). Meyer’s most recent releases are his own transcription of Bach’s Suites for Solo Cello and a disc of two solo works by Bottesini and his Concertos for Double Bass and for Cello and Double Bass (with Yo-Yo Ma). In October 2000, Edgar Meyer was named winner of the Avery Fisher Prize, given annually to reward “instrumentalists for excellence and achievement.” (Clarinetist David Shifrin, Artistic Director of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and Chamber Music Northwest, was named as the year’s co-winner.) In September 2002, Meyer was announced as one of the year’s 24 MacArthur Fellows, who receive five-year, unconditional, $500,000 “genius grants” to help foster their creativity.
