Franz Schubert (1797-1828)Symphony No. 8 in B Minor, D. 759 (“Unfinished”) (1822)Duration: 24 minutes

Best known for his song compositions, Franz Schubert also had great success within the chamber music genre and grand instrumental works. The predominant genre of early nineteenth century Vienna was salon music; the aftermath of the Napoleonic wars and the lack of a public concert hall made the production of large scale concerts almost impossible. This led to a shift in the taste of the aristocracy, who had been supporters of Beethoven’s music. Most Viennese composers of the time doubted the quality of their own music compared to the great master, Beethoven; Schubert was no exception. Despite all this, Schubert wrote several symphonies, including this “Unfinished” work.

Like Mozart’s “Jupiter” symphony and Beethoven’s “Moonlight” sonata, the title for Schubert’s Symphony No. 8 in B Minor, “Unfinished,” did not originate with the composer. Rather, “Unfinished” reflects this symphony only having two movements. A traditional symphony, following the form established by Haydn, has four: a fast movement, a slow movement, a triple-meter dance, and a quick and rousing finale. After completing the first two movements, he started but did not finish a third movement. It remains unknown if there was some crisis that stopped his pen. Schubert possibly decided that the work was complete with two movements, or he hoped that someone might commission him to finish the symphony and organize a performance.

The B Minor Symphony was dated October 1822; his choice of key, B minor, was considered unusual at that time. In 1824, Schubert was awarded an honorary membership in the Styrian Music Society of Graz, Austria. Hoping for a performance, Schubert sent the score of the two movements to the society, but he died in 1828 without hearing his symphonic fragment. The score was kept hidden for decades by the Graz society’s president, Anselm Hüttenbrenner. By the late 1850s, rumors were spreading about an unfinished and unheard Schubert symphony. With growing demand for the late composer’s music, Hüttenbrenner used his prized possession as leverage, promising to allow access to the score if his own compositions would receive performances. Thus, the December 1865 premiere of Schubert’s B Minor symphony also featured an Overture in C Minor by Hüttenbrenner. The symphony amazed even a hardheaded critic like Eduard Hanslick, who wrote in his 1865 review of the premiere:

“When, after the few introductory measures, clarinets and oboes in unison begin to sound their sweet song above the peaceful murmur of the violins, then each and every child recognizes the composer, and a half-suppressed outcry “Schubert” buzzes through the hall. He has hardly entered, but it is as if one knows him by his step, by his manner of lifting the latch.”

Program Notes

Depaul Symphony orcheStra • February 2, 2017program noteS

The first movement, Allegro moderato, opens with the lower strings in a soft introduction. The first theme appears in the oboe and clarinet with string accompaniment. The lyrical melody played by the cellos initiates the second theme and is accompanied in syncopated rhythm by the violas and clarinets. The return of the introduction leads to the dark development section, bringing the movement to life. While the lyricism is expected to continue, a surprising dramatism brings back the themes in their original form. The movement ends on a recall of the introduction.

The songful Andante con moto, like the first movement, has a moderate pace in triple time. The theme is passed between the horns, strings and woodwinds in a peaceful opening section. Listen for the chorale-like texture in the woodwinds. In contrast, Schubert features solo clarinet and oboe accompanied by syncopated strings in the second section. These areas harken back to the first movement and represent an intrusion of that mood and character. Despite these episodes of darkness, the calm melody has the last word, and the music closes with the serenity with which it began.

What makes tonight’s performance special is the markedly slower tempo that Maestro Colnot and the DePaul Symphony Orchestra have chosen to take for the second movement. The two movements are generally performed at similar tempi which can cause them to sound like one continuous movement. This decision will better allow the audience to distinguish between the two. While we may never know why the B Minor Symphony was unfinished, we can be certain that it will remain one of the symphonic masterpieces of the nineteenth-century.

Maurice Ravel (1875-1937)Daphnis et Chloé, Suite No. 2Duration: 18 minutes

Originally conceived as a ballet, this is the second of two concert suites extracted for orchestral performance by Ravel. It is based on a prosaic pastoral romance of the same name by third-century Greek author Longus. Daphnis and Chloé are two young orphans raised by shepherds who fall in love, but are separated when Chloé is kidnapped by pirates. Following a dramatic account of her rescue by the god Pan, the two are reunited and married. Michel Fokine, choreographer for the Ballets Russes, discovered Longus’ work through a translation by French Renaissance poet Jacques Amyot. Fokine had been keen to stage a Greek plot, and was pleased that “the whole meaning of the story can be expressed by dance.” He presented the plot to director Sergei Diaghilev, who approached Ravel in 1909 to compose the orchestral score; Ravel was one of the first Western composers to be commissioned by Diaghilev.

Depaul Symphony orcheStra • February 2, 2017program noteS

The completion of the suite was not without incident. Ravel and Fokine disagreed in their aesthetic conceptions of the production, sparring amongst themselves and with set designer Léon Bakst. Ravel envisioned a “vast musical fresco” that recalled the idyllic settings of French Neoclassicist painters; a Greece of simplicity and elegance. Fokine and Bakst, in contrast, shared a starker view of Arcadia with “ancient dancing depicted in red and black on attic vases.” Language barrier played a formidable role as well, as Ravel detailed to his friend Madame de Saint-Marceaux in June of 1909:

“I must tell you that I’ve had a really insane week: preparation of a ballet libretto for the next Russian season. Almost every night, work until 3 a.m. What particularly complicates matters is that Fokine doesn’t know a word of French, and I only know how to swear in Russian. Even with interpreters around you can imagine how chaotic our meetings are.”

The rehearsal culture was no tamer, and quarrels between cast and crew abounded. The tension was so great between Fokine and lead dancer Vaslav Nijinsky that the former elected to leave the company at the end of the season. Ravel’s struggle to complete the finale (which he reworked several times) led Diaghilev to almost cancel the entire production. It was only in response to an appeal by Ravel’s publisher, Jacques Durand, that Diaghilev was convinced to continue. In spite of these difficulties, Daphnis et Chloé was finally staged at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris on June 8, 1912, two years after its intended debut.

Daphnis et Chloé achieved limited success as a ballet, receiving only two performances during its opening season. The music, however, quickly became a concert staple. The second suite for orchestra originates from the third and final scene of the ballet, in which Daphnis and Chloé awake amidst the sounds of nature. Ravel masterfully orchestrates the daybreak; one can hear the trickle of dew as the warming rays of dawn ignite the birds’ songs. The densely textured writing centers on a theme of simple ascending and descending sequences--both small and grand in scheme--that mimic the undulating hills of his idyllic Greece. Listen for these in the opening wind and string sections. Daphnis and Chloé are awoken by shepherds and, upon seeing one another, embrace and enact the myth of Pan pursuing the nymph Syrinx; this is scored by Ravel for the flute, piccolo, and alto flute in imitation of Pan’s pipes. Chloe, as Syrinx, emerges and begins to dance to Pan’s tune. The two eventually cease their mime and exchange marriage vows, igniting the maddening frenzy of the final “Danse générale,” a “joyous tumult” (so called by Ravel) in celebration of Daphnis and Chloé’s love.

In the past decade Cliff Colnot has emerged as a distinguished conductor and a musician of uncommon range.

One of few musicians to have studied orchestral repertoire with Daniel Barenboim, Colnot has served as assistant conductor for Barenboim’s West-Eastern Divan Workshops for young musicians from Israel, Egypt, Syria, and other Middle Eastern countries. Colnot has also worked extensively with the late Pierre Boulez and served as assistant conductor to Boulez at the Lucerne Festival Academy. He regularly conducts the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE), with whom he recorded Richard Wernick’s The Name of the Game for Bridge Records, and he collaborates with the internationally acclaimed contemporary music ensemble eighth blackbird. Colnot has been principal conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s contemporary MusicNOW ensemble since its inception and was principal conductor of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, an orchestra he conducted for more than twenty-two years. Colnot also conducts Contempo at the University of Chicago, and the DePaul University Symphony Orchestra and Wind Ensemble. He has appeared as a guest conductor with the San Antonio Symphony Orchestra, the American Composers Orchestra, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Utah Symphony, and the Chicago Philharmonic.

Colnot is also a master arranger. His orchestration of Shulamit Ran’s Three Fantasy Pieces for Cello and Piano was recorded by the English Chamber Orchestra. For the chamber orchestra of the Jerusalem International Chamber Music Festival, Colnot has arranged the Adagio from Mahler’s Symphony No. 10, Schoenberg’s Pelleas and Melisande (both published by Universal) and Manuel De Falla’s Three Cornered Hat. For ICE, Colnot arranged Olivier Messiaen’s Chants de Terre et de Ciel for chamber orchestra and mezzo-soprano, also published by Universal. For members of the Yellow Barn Music Festival, Colnot arranged Shulamit Ran’s Soliloquy for Violin, Cello, and Piano, to be published by Theodore Presser. Colnot re-orchestrated the Bottesini Concerto No. 2 in B Minor for Double Bass, correcting many errors in existing editions and providing a more viable performance version. He has also been commissioned to write works for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Percussion Scholarship Group. His orchestration of Duke Ellington’s New World Coming was premiered by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra with Daniel Barenboim as piano soloist in 2000, and Colnot also arranged, conducted, and co-produced the CD Tribute to Ellington featuring Barenboim at the piano. He has also written for rock-and-roll, pop, and jazz artists Richard Marx, Phil Ramone, Hugh Jackman, Leann Rimes, SheDaisy, Patricia Barber, Emerson Drive, and Brian Culbertson.
