Program NotesAn orchestra’s music director

faces a challenging, though joyful, task in planning a holiday concert. The repertoire is huge and diverse. Do you stick with classical composers (go for Baroque), portray English carolers, or bring a contemporary touch to the program? How do you avoid overcommercializing – the kind of arrangements that hit you over the head with a candy cane? We trust that this year’s Holiday Pops performances will provide our audiences a rich and varied program, with selections that appeal to a wide assortment of interests and tastes.

Leroy Anderson (1908-1975) was an American composer of short, light concert pieces, many of which were introduced by the Boston Pops Orchestra under the direction of Arthur Fiedler. John Williams described him as “one of the great American masters of light orchestral music.” Anderson would occasionally appear on the Boston Pops regular concerts on PBS to conduct his own music while Fiedler would sit on the sidelines. Anderson’s medley A Christmas Festival was composed in 1950 and released in a shortened version in 1952. Our concert presents Anderson’s original, recently republished from the Boston Pops’ archival copies.

Erich Korngold (1897-1957) was a film and romantic music composer. While his compositional style was considered well out of vogue at the time he died, his music has more recently undergone a reevaluation and a reawakening of interest. Born in a Jewish home in Brünn (Brno) (Austria–Hungary, now Czech Republic), Korngold was a child

musical prodigy, who composed his pantomime ballet Der Schneemann (The Snowman) at the age of 11. The work became a sensation when performed at the Vienna Court Opera in 1910, including a command performance for Emperor Franz Josef.

A large number of Hanukkah Songs have been written, perhaps more so than for any other Jewish holiday. Hanukkah marks the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem after its desecration by the forces of the Seleucid Empire and commemorates the “miracle of the container of oil” in which a single-day’s supply of consecrated oil fueled the eternal flame in the Temple for eight days, the length of time it took to prepare and consecrate fresh oil. In North America especially, Hanukkah has gained increased importance with many Jewish families, who wanted a Jewish alternative to the Christmas celebrations that often overlap with Hanukkah. In Israel, Hanukkah has also become something of a national holiday. Arranger Lee Norris has selected three songs for his medley: “My Dreidel,” perhaps the best-known English-only Hanukkah song (the traditional dreidel children’s toy is a spinning top); “Mi Yimalel” (Who Can Retell), a Hebrew song of the history behind the holiday, and “Chanukah, Oh Chanukah,” an English version of a traditional Yiddish song.

Eugene Ormandy (1899-1985) was a Hungarian-born Jewish conductor and violinist, best known for his long tenure (1938-1980) as music director and conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Under Ormandy’s direction, the Philadelphia Orchestra was well known for its opulent, lush “Philadelphia Sound.” Ormandy’s arrangement of the Choral Prelude

from Cantata No. 140 by J.S. Bach (1685-1750) is part of the “Bach by Ormandy” LP recording published in 1960.

O Holy Night (Sunday Concert Only) is a well-known Christmas carol composed by French composer Adolphe Adam (1803-1856) to the poem “Minuit, Chrétiens” (Midnight, Christians). The song has become a standard modern carol for solo performance with an operatic finish. Popular recorded versions include Enrico Caruso’s 1912 recording, Julius LaRosa’s 1953 version, and Céline Dion’s 1998 rendition (voted as the third favorite Christmas song of all time in a 2004 poll). Our treatment of the song, written and conducted by Sammamish Symphony English Horn player David Barnes, is a gift for his mother, soprano soloist Aletha Barnes. Alert listeners may pick up shades of Beethoven and Elgar in David’s arrangement.

Alfred Reed (1921-2005) was one of America’s most prolific and frequently performed composers, with more than two hundred published works for concert band, wind ensemble, orchestra, chorus, and chamber ensemble to his name. He also traveled extensively as a guest conductor, performing in North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. Russian Christmas Music, written to convey the sounds of Eastern Orthodox liturgical music, was first performed on December 12, 1944, on nationally broadcast NBC radio, as part of a concert in Denver designed to improve wartime Soviet-American relations. Although the work consists of only one movement,

it can be readily divided into four sections. The opening section, Carol of the Little Russian Children, based on a 16th century Russian Christmas carol, is slow throughout. The Antiphonal Chant is faster and louder, with the melody initially carried by the trombones, horns, and trumpets. The music becomes more and more frenzied until the section ends loudly. The Village Song is much gentler by comparison, with English Horn at the beginning and end, separated by a passage in 6/4 time signature with the orchestra passing a series of cantabile two-bar phrases back and forth among the instrumental sections. The final Cathedral Chorus starts quietly, but a crescendo brings the full orchestra in majestically. The music builds to a climax, but then backs down for a final chorale, and the piece concludes with a thundering chorale.

The Sammamish Symphony is delighted to present the students of The Newcastle Lion’s Chorus in two holiday-spirited medleys. Our Winter Wonderland, arranged by Audrey Snyder, includes the songs “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” and “Winter Wonderland.” Christmas on Broadway, arranged by John Higgins, raises the curtain and cues the lights, with choral numbers from some of Broadway’s great composers, including “It’s Beginning To Look Like Christmas,” “Pine Cones and Holly Berries,” “Toyland,” “March Of The Toys,” “My Favorite Things,” “We Need A Little Christmas,” and “God Bless Us Everyone.”

Leroy Anderson’s popular “Sleigh Ride” was not written as a Christmas piece, but as a work that describes a winter event. Anderson started the work during

a heat wave in August 1946. The Boston Pops’ recording of it was the first pure orchestral piece to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Pop Music chart.

Robert Sheldon is one of the most performed composers of concert band music today. In addition to his position as Conductor of the Prairie Wind Ensemble, he has served as a conductor and clinician throughout the United States, as well as Japan, Canada, Australia and the Republic of China, and has conducted performances of his works in New York’s Carnegie Hall, Chicago’s Orchestra Hall, Boston’s Symphony Hall, and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. In his arrangement, A Most Wonderful Christmas, he has included “Winter Wonderland,” “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town,” “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.”

The Many Moods of Christmas is an album of eighteen Christmas carols conducted by Robert Shaw (1916-1999), grouped into four medleys. Shaw was an American conductor most famous for his work with his namesake Chorale, the Cleveland Orchestra and Chorus, and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. The carols were arranged for chorus and orchestra by orchestrator Robert Russell Bennett (1894-1981), best known for his orchestration of many well-known Broadway and Hollywood musicals. In 1957 and 2008, Bennett received Tony Awards recognizing his orchestrations for Broadway shows. The album was originally released in 1963 by RCA Victor and was a great commercial success. In 1983, two years after Bennett’s death, Shaw recorded a revised digital stereo version, released that December by Telarc. The 1963 edition has since been reissued, and both are now on CD.

The Hallelujah Chorus from “The Messiah” is a venerated institution for Christmas and Choral Societies throughout the world. Baroque composer George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) was born in Germany, trained in Italy, and spent most of his life in England. Messiah remains Handel’s best known work, although this was not a status that it enjoyed until the last few years of his life, brought about by annual performances in Handel’s oratorio seasons and charitable benefit concerts. Tradition has it that at one performance, as the first notes of the triumphant Hallelujah Chorus rang out, King George II rose to his feet. Royal protocol always demanded that whenever the monarch stands, so does everyone in the monarch’s presence. Thus, the entire audience and orchestra stood too, initiating a tradition that has lasted more than two centuries. It is lost to history the exact reason why the King stood at that point, but the most popular explanations include:

• As was and is the custom, one stands in the presence of royalty as a sign of respect. The Hallelujah chorus clearly places Christ as the King of Kings. In standing, King George II accepts that he too is subject to Lord of Lords. • He was so moved by the performance that he rose to his feet. • He arrived late to the performance, and the crowd rose when he finally made an appearance. • His gout acted up at that precise moment and he rose to relieve the discomfort. • After an hour of musical performance, he needed to stretch his legs.

Conrad Susa was educated at Carnegie Institute of Technology and the Juilliard School, where his teachers included William Bergsma, Vincent Persichett i and, so he says, P. D.Q. Bach. He is currently Chair of the Composition Department at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. His eclectic musical career includes resident composer for the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego and dramaturge for the O’Neill Center in Connecticut. He also has writt en numerous scores for documentary fi lms and PBS television productions, choral and instrumental works, and operas for stage and church performance. According to Susa, gett ing started on A Christmas Garland was not an easy task. A medley of carols was requested for the Cantari Singers, an acclaimed professional chorus based in Columbus, Ohio. However, it took the death in 1988 of a dear friend from Susa’s Broadway days – actor and director Nikos Kafk alis – to provide the fi nal inspiration. Susa determined to retell the Christmas story, in memory of his friend, through the selection and placement of carols. This is how he conceived the narrative (with acknowledgement to The Naperville Chorus):

“Noels” herald the angels’ news, and it is brought to mankind God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen English, from Cornwall and/

or London, 1770 to 1800. “God Rest Ye Merry” means “(May) God keep you happy”, not, as is sometimes assumed, “God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen”; (Orchestral snatch) Surprise of the local populace

Bring A Torch, Jeannett e, Isabella Traditional French, collected and translated by E. Cuthbert Nunn, c. 1900;(Orchestral) Celebration begins

The Holly and the Ivy Possibly of pagan origin, as early as 1710, the holly and the ivy representing male and female spirits; Questioning the signs

I Saw Three Ships Poem from 1666, music from late 1800’s: Many versions, and none clearly show who is in the three ships – perhaps Mary, Joseph and the Child; Susa thinks it is;Answering the questions We Three Kings The only carol here with a fi rmly known composer and lyricist, Dr. John Henry Hopkins, Rector of Christ’s Church, Williamsport, PA, about 1857; The child sung a lullaby as the Kings arrive Coventry Carol Text by Robert Croo, 1534, probably for sacred Coventry plays; tune about 1584; The chorus joins the celebration Adeste Fidelis (O Come, All Ye Faithful) While there is some dispute, the original Latin verses and the tune apparently originated with an English copyist, John Francis Wade, working in Douay, France, about 1734; The celebration expands to the world Joy to the World The tune, Antioch, is att ributed to George Friderich Handel, in the early 1700’s, but may not have been the original sett ing for the words of Isaac Watt s, based on Psalm 100 and also writt en in the early 18th Century; Susa says he has arranged this in imitation of Handel’s other works, such as Messiah. And “Noel” resounds everywhere.
