8 Maestro s Welcome Dear Music Lovers, It is an honor for me to begin my eleventh season as music director of the Greeley Philharmonic. The past ten seasons have been a joy for me and brought me closer to the wonderful people of our audience and the Greeley community. Your tireless enthusiasm for our wonderful orchestra combined with the hard work of our board members and GPO Guild have expanded our audience and strengthened or orchestra. On behalf of the Greeley Philharmonic and myself, we are proud to be able to bring you our season. This season s program is designed to focus on many different types of music from music written for and used in film to the iconic music of the Beatles and, of course, traditional favorites. I trust that you will be inspired by the performances of the exceptional soloists and guest composers from near and far who will be appearing with the orchestra, as well as the virtuosity of our own incredible players. We are continuing our new tradition that started two seasons ago; GPO s New Year s Eve Gala. We are also pleased to announce our continuing collaborations with UNC s opera department in a fully staged production of Mark Adamo s Little Women and our final choral collaboration, The Hyland Mass. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your patronage. The Greeley Philharmonic is proud to have served the community for one hundred and seven years and we are grateful for all of you who will make it possible to continue doing so for the next century! Yours truly, Glen Cortese Music Director (A Message from the Guild President) Guild President Thank you for joining us in the Greeley Philharmonic Guild who are here tonight to support yet another concert, and yet another season this year the 107th of our great city s very alive symphony orchestra.

9 From the Board President When I visit with community members about the Greeley Philharmonic, the words I often encounter are local gem. As the GPO embarks upon its 107th season, we recognize that, as with all vintage jewelry, at times a stone requires a good polishing. Facets may need to be recut to enable the stone s brilliance to shine. At times it s important to revamp the setting itself to better position the venerable stone, showcasing its true beauty. This season promises to feature our talented, professional GPO musicians as we continue a tradition of providing musical excellence to the Greeley area. Expect a blend of inspiring classics married with innovative repertoire designed to help our orchestra reach out to a vibrant community with many entertainment options in our homes, as well as innumerable activities that call to our varied interests. Recognizing this, the Board of Directors has scheduled concerts on either Fridays or Saturdays throughout the season and hopes this variety will encourage you to join us at Monfort Concert Hall! Classical music enjoyed live in the company of friends ensures its continued energy and vibrance. Make a night at the Phil a fun one, creating memories with others. Please help sustain the music when you join us at our fundraising events Wines of Note, Beer & Spirits Festival and the Kentucky Derby Gala. Your presence and support as a member of the GPO family is important and valued. See you in the concert hall!

15 Guest Artist - Lara Ryan RADIANT, COMMANDING, COMPELLING and IMPRESSIVE- LY TOUCHING, are some recent accolades for soprano Lara Ryan. About her performance in the title role of Victor Herbert s grand opera Natoma, Opera News wrote (as Natoma) Lara Ryan sang with a creamy soprano full of power at both ends of her wide range. Most recently, Lara sang the role of Diane Disney in the US premiere of Philip Glass The Perfect American at both Long Beach Opera and Chicago Opera Theatre. The production was unanimously praised by critics and the cast was called simply sensational by the Signal Tribune. She has sung with the New York Philharmonic, New England Symphony, Collegiate Chorale, Utah Festival Opera, Anchorage Opera, Madison Lyric Opera, Opera Pacific, and the New York Bar Association Concert Series, amongst others. She returns to Long Beach Opera in the fall for a production of Menotti s The Consul, starring Patricia Racette. A Night at the Movies Gustav Mahler ( ) Adagietto, from Symphony No 5 in C-sharp Minor The period in which Gustav Mahler composed his Fifth symphony was characterized by momentous life changes. Within a year of nearly losing his life to a severe hemorrhage Mahler, at age 40, courted and married Alma Schindler and the couple anticipated the birth of their first child. Significantly, Mahler s Symphony No. 5 is a work that changes tone from grim and turbulent to tender and joyous over the course of its five movements. Mahler divided the symphony into 3 parts: Part I is made up of the dark and chaotic first and second movements. Part II is the third movement alone - a monumental Scherzo. Part III begins with the fourth movement, the Adagietto being performed tonight, followed by a cheery rondo to close. In contrast to the movements before and after it, a deep tenderness emerges in this beautiful fourth movement it is, in fact, a love song. A friend and colleague of Mahler s, Willem Mengelberg, jotted a note into his copy of the score: N.B. This Adagietto was Gustav Mahler s declaration of love to Alma! Instead of a letter he sent it to her in manuscript[.] i Mahler had let his music speak for him. It in interesting that while the three symphonies preceding his fifth all contained strong elements of vocal music, Mahler deliberately kept the Symphony No. 5 entirely orchestral. The human voice would be absolutely out of place here, Mahler remarked to a friend; There is no need for words, everything is purely musically expressed ii Mahler conducted the premier of the Symphony No. 5 in Cologne in October The symphony as a whole was not a success, and Mahler would later revise the other movements of the symphony, but the Adagietto the audience loved. Richard Strauss, whose Four Last Songs will close tonight s program, attended the first performance of the Symphony No. 5 in Berlin. Strauss later wrote in a letter to Mahler that the little Adagietto, though far from being Strauss s own favorite, had pleased the audience best iii In a conversation recorded by Mahler s friend Natalie Bauer-Lechner, someone asked why he did not take more effort to make his compositions more widely known. Mahler answered, Sooner or later, they themselves will do whatever is necessary; do you have to be present when you become immortal? iv Certainly the Adageitto, having delighted and inspired audiences from the time of its premier until now, has fulfilled Mahler s prophecy. 15

16 i The Cambridge Companion to Mahler, p ii Natalie Bauer-Lechner, Recollections of Gustav Mahler, p iii Letter from Strauss to Mahler, Berlin, 5 March 1905, translation by Edmund Jephcott. iv Natalie Bauer-Lechner, Ibid., p.166 Richard Strauss, Vier letzte Lieder (Four Last Songs) Frühling (Spring) September Beim Schlafengehen (Going to Sleep) Im Abendrot (At Sunset) Over the course of his long and glorious career German composer Richard Strauss made himself master of many forms symphonies and symphonic tone poems, chamber music for strings and winds, choral music and opera. One form of musical expression that threads through Strauss s life from beginning to end is Lieder - songs, often for single voice and piano, which set German poetry to music. Strauss had received a thorough musical and cultural education from his father and was inspired from an early age to write for female voice. One of his first musical creations, composed at age 6, is a song for soprano and piano setting a text by Christian Schubart. It is titled Weihnachtslied ( Christmas Song ). The grown-up Strauss s favorite interpretations of his own songs were those of his wife, Pauline, a soprano known for the expressivity of her lieder performances. After they were married Strauss wrote more than a hundred songs for soprano, most of them premiered by Pauline. In 1948, in the wake of the devastation of the Second World War, Richard and Pauline were living in exile in various hotels in Switzerland, grieving over the destruction of their beloved homeland. Strauss was 84 years old and less than a year from his own death when he wrote the four songs that you will hear performed tonight. He was also one of the most highly revered musicians in the world, his music known and loved through Europe and the United States, and despite his poor health Strauss s expressive powers were still very much at their height. The Four Last Songs would be the last music he wrote, and are among the few songs that he wrote specifically for orchestra, rather than piano, accompaniment. Im Abendrot was the first to be written, though published as the finale of the four, and sets a poem by Joseph Eichendorff. The other three songs are settings of poems by Herman Hesse. Frühling tells of the coming of spring, the resurgence of new light and life - it opens with rising and falling arpeggiations in the low strings with which Strauss creates a restless energy, as of things moving in air and earth and heart. In September Strauss again creates motion with arpeggios in the strings but the energy and mood have changed. The subject of the song is the fading Summer, giving way to Autumn and yet still lingering warmly on the last of its flowers. With Beim Schlafengehen Strauss creates an entirely different mood slow, deliberate, with a heartbreaking intensity. The theme of the poem is rest - the sinking of body, mind, and soul into the arms of enfolding night. Im Abendrot is both a love song and a song about the acceptance of death. In the poem an elderly couple walks together, hand in hand, as the light of the setting sun grows dim and night closes on the landscape around them. Strauss creates a kind of landscape for the lovers out of strings, horns, and the tender notes of a solo violin, over which the voice of the soprano rises. Strauss s melody for this song is unspeakably beautiful, evoking both tenderness and awe. The songs were published posthumously and Strauss s publisher titled them Vier letzte Lieder (Four Last Songs) and were premiered in According to Strauss s particular wishes, Kirsten Flagstad and the Philharmonia Orchestra gave the premier performance with Wilhelm Furtwängler conducting. - Danica Smith, August 2017 A Night at the Movies (cont.) 16

17 A Night at the Movies (cont.) FRÜHLING In dämmrigen Grüften träumte ich lang von deinen Bäumen und blauen Lüften, von deinem Duft und Vogelgesang. Nun liegst du erschlossen in Gleiß und Zier, von Licht übergossen wie ein Wunder vor mir. Du kennest mich wieder, du lockest mich zart, es zittert durch all meine Glieder deine selige Gegenwart. SEPTEMBER Der Garten trauert, kühl sinkt in die Blumen der Regen. Der Sommer schauert still seinem Ende entgegen. Golden tropft Blatt um Blatt nieder vom hohen Akazienbaum. Sommer Lächelt erstaunt und matt in den sterbenden Gartentraum. Lange noch bei den Rosen bleibt er stehn, sehnt sich nach Ruh, langsam tut er die (großen) müdgewordnen Augen zu. BEIM SCHLAFENGEHEN Nun der Tag mich müd gemacht, soll mein sehnliches Verlangen freundlich die gestirnte Nacht wie ein müdes Kind empfangen. Hände, laßt von allem Tun, Stirn, vergiß du alles Denken, alle meine Sinne nun wollen sich in Schlummer senken. Und die Seele unbewacht will in freien Flügen schweben, um im Zauberkreis der Nacht tief und tausendfach zu leben. IM ABENDROT Wir sind durch Not und Freude gesangen Hand in Hand, vom Wandern ruhn wir beide nun überm stillen Land. Rings sich die Täler neigen, es dunkelt schon die Luft, zwei Lerchen nur noch steigen nachträumend in den Duft. Tritt her und laß sie schwirren, bald ist es Schlafenszeit, daß wir uns nicht verirren in dieser Einsamkeit. O weiter, stiller Friede, o tief im Abendrot. Wie sind wir wandermüde ist dies etwa der Tod? 17 SPRING In dusky caverns I dreamed long of your trees and azure breezes, of your scents and birdsong. Now you lie revealed in glitter and array, bathed in light like a miracle before me. You recognize me again, tenderly you beckon to me. Through all my limbs quivers your blissful presence. SEPTEMBER The garden is in mourning: the rain sinks coolly on the flowers. Summertime shudders quietly to its close. Leaf upon golden leaf is dropping down from the tall acacia tree. Summer smiles, amazed and exhausted, on the dying dream that was this garden. Long by the roses still it tarries, yearns for rest, slowly closes its (great) weary eyes. GOING TO SLEEP Now that day has tired me, my spirits long for starry night kindly to enfold them, like a tired child. Hands, leave all your doing; brow, forget all your thoughts. Now all my senses want to sink themselves in slumber. And the soul unwatched, would soar in free flight, till in the magic circle of night it lives deeply and a thousandfold. AT SUNSET Through want and joy we have walked hand in hand; we are both resting from our travels now, the quiet countryside below us. Around us the valleys incline; already the air grows dark. Two larks still soar alone half-dreaming, into the haze. Come here, and let them fly about; soon it is time for sleep. We must not go astray in this solitude. O spacious, tranquil peace, so profound in the gloaming. How tired we are of travelling is this perchance death? English translation by William Mann

Greeley Chorale The Greeley Chorale originated in 1964 as a community chorus, under the direction of Dr. Howard Skinner, and in 1970 the Chorale became an adjunct of the Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra. In 1974 it became an independent community choir, and was incorporated as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in From a 40 voice ensemble in 1964 the Chorale has grown to more than 100 voices. During its 52 years, the Chorale has garnered a reputation as one of the finest community choruses in the United States. The Chorale has also been an integral part of community celebrations such as the downtown Christmas tree lighting, the Weld County Concert for Peace, the Hospice Tree of Memories lighting, UNC s Concert Under the Stars, BT Voices for Hospice, City of Greeley Cinco de Mayo celebrations, the Exchange Club s Healing Field, the Union Colony Civic Center 25th Anniversary celebration, and the Greeley Independence Stampede, where it is a perennial July 4th performer of the National Anthem before the finals rodeo. 23

24 Children s Chorale The Greeley Children s Chorale is a strong choral organization founded in Greeley, Colorado in 1990 by Kay Copley. We provide a structured, caring environment where children gain valuable musical skills. With high standards, we help children aspire to be their best in musical artistry as well as personal development. The Greeley Children s Chorale exists under the auspices of the Greeley Children s Chorale, Inc., a non-profit corporation, and is run by a parent and community volunteer Board of Directors. The Greeley Children s Chorale consists of two auditioned groups: Peak Performers (grades 5 8) and Summit Singers (grades 3-6). Students audition from all areas of Weld County, Colorado. Special projects during our existence have included premiering newly composed works, concert tours and exchange concerts. In 1994, GCC produced a PBS quality videotape of The Christmas Story written by Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman. This was the first video production of the work and the first recording in English. The movie earned an International Telly bronze award for short subjects. The Children s Chorale has appeared with the Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra, the Greeley Chamber Orchestra, the Youth Orchestra of the Rockies, UNC Choirs, and the Greeley Chorale.

29 Guest Artist - Wendy Fopeano Wendy Fopeano is a jazz vocalist based in Denver, Colorado. Originally from Kansas City, Missouri, Wendy was raised in a family of musicians, writers and actors and began her performance journey at the age of seven. By the time she was in high school, in addition to singing, she learned to play bass, trumpet, piano and guitar, but ultimately chose voice as her main instrument. She became serious about studying jazz and soon found a place for herself among many well-established Kansas City performers. In 1987 Wendy moved to Colorado and quickly gained a reputation as a notable vocalist around the Front Range area. She became a favorite at the Estes Park Jazz Festival and eventually met and worked with many of the Denver area s finest musicians. Her enthusiasm about music in general and jazz in particular grew during the ten years she hosted her own jazz show on Denver s jazz89 KUVO. Wendy s voice has been described as soulful, energetic, heartfelt and clear as a bell. Her attention to lyrics, what they mean and how they re articulated, is just one of her distinctive qualities. She sings within the jazz tradition but also chooses songs from other styles of music and has been influenced more by instrumentalists than by other singers. She is respected by her peers as being a well-rounded musician in addition to having a beautiful voice. She has released two CDs, When There s Love and Raining on the Roses. Wendy is an accomplished composer and lyricist and often sings some of her own songs. She has used those skills through the Harmony Project which pairs artists with teachers in public schools to facilitate learning through the Arts. She has composed children s songs about nature, geometry and Colorado history to help students learn these subjects in creative ways. She also conducts vocal workshops at schools and gives individual voice lessons. She sings every Wednesday evening at Herb s in downtown Denver. Wendy is honored and excited to be performing with the Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra.
