3 At the Concert: Once you have arrived and are seated in the auditorium, take a look at the stage. You will notice that the orchestra is organized in the shape of a fan. The violins will be on your left. Moving to the right you will see the violas, cellos and basses. Behind the strings are rows of woodwind players (flutes, oboes, clarinets, and bassoons) and brass players (French horns, trumpets, trombones, and tuba). You will find the percussion section in the far left corner of the stage behind the violins. Once all of the musicians are on stage, the concert is about to begin! Watch for the first violinist to enter the stage. It is appropriate to applaud as he walks to the front of the orchestra. The first violinist is called the concertmaster. Listen quietly as the concertmaster tunes the orchestra. He will ask the oboe to play an A, or he might play an A on the piano. The musicians will take turns playing pitches to compare with the oboe s or piano s note. The musicians might make small adjustments to their instruments so that they will sound their best when the whole orchestra plays together. Following the tuning of the orchestra, when all is quiet, the conductor will enter the stage. Welcome him with applause! Listen silently as the orchestra performs. This allows the musicians to concentrate on their music and other members of the audience to enjoy the performance. You may clap after each piece is performed. The conductor might invite you to clap along to a piece. Watch for when he signals you to start and stop! After the concert ends, check for personal items such as hats and jackets before leaving your seat. Exit the building quietly and orderly, following your teacher s instructions. If you would like to write thank you notes to the Lancaster Symphony Orchestra, they may be sent to: Lancaster Symphony Orchestra Attn: Community and Audience Engagement Manager P.O. Box 1281 Lancaster, PA

5 Meet The Program: Francis Scott Key ( ) The Star-Spangled Banner The Star-Spangled Banner is the national anthem of the United States of America. Francis Scott Key wrote the words to our national anthem after watching the Battle of Fort McHenry. This battle took place on September 13-14, 1814, during the War of Fort McHenry is in the harbor of the Chesapeake Bay in Baltimore and the battle was between the United States and the Royal Navy of England. Mr. Key watched the battle from a British ship a few miles away. He was sent there to free an American prisoner who was onboard. The Royal Navy kept firing their cannons all night. Mr. Key couldn t tell if the United States was winning the battle until the very next day when he saw a great big American flag waving in the dawn s early light! Mr. Key loved to write poetry so he wrote a poem about the battle. He titled it Defense of Fort McHenry. Mr. Key was later inspired to turn the poem into a song. He paired the words with a popular British melody of the time. The catchy tune and words became well-known. Before the War of 1812, the flag was used mostly to identify ships and forts. However, Mr. Key s song transformed the flag into a national symbol of American values. The United States Navy started using the patriotic song in ceremonies in In 1931, the Congress and President Herbert Hoover declared it our national anthem. There are four verses, but we typically sing the first verse. Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? September 14, 2014 marked the 200 th anniversary of Mr. Key s legendary poem! Fort McHenry has a unique star-like shape.

6 George Gershwin ( ) Strike Up the Band and Concerto in F He was born Jacob Gershowitz, on September 26, 1898, in Brooklyn, New York, of Russian-Jewish immigrants. As a boy he could play popular and classical works on his brother Ira's piano by ear. In 1913 he quit school to study music and began composing for Tin Pan Alley; by 1919 he had his first hit "Swanee" and his first Broadway show La, La, Lucille. Gershwin's musical hallmarks, such as Rhapsody in Blue, An American in Paris and Concerto in F are just the most common of his orchestral works. In the early thirties, Gershwin experimented with some new ideas in Broadway musicals. Strike up the Band, Let Em Eat Cake, and Of Thee I Sing, were groundbreaking works dealing with social issues of the time. Of Thee I Sing was a major hit and the first comedy ever to win the Pulitzer Prize. In 1935 he presented a folk opera, Porgy and Bess, in Boston. It was the first opera performed by an all African-American cast and brought about much controversy due to the racially-charged theme. It is now recognized as one of the more important works of American opera. It includes such memorable songs as It Ain t Necessarily So, I Loves You, Porgy, and Summertime. In 1937, after many successes on Broadway, Gershwin decided to go to Hollywood to write music for movies. He teamed up with Fred Astaire, who was now paired with Ginger Rogers. They made the musical film, Shall We Dance, which included such hits as Let s Call the Whole Thing Off and They Can t Take That Away From Me. Soon after came A Damsel in Distress, in which Astaire appeared with Joan Fontaine. After becoming ill while working on a film, he had plans to return to New York to work on writing serious music. He planned a string quartet, a ballet and another opera, but these pieces were never written. At the age of 38, he died of a brain tumor. Today he remains one of America s most beloved popular musicians. William Grant Still ( ) Afro-American Symphony, 2 nd movement William Grant Still was born on May 11, 1895, in Woodville, Mississippi. After his father passed away when Still was a baby, his mother moved the family to live with his grandmother in Little Rock, Arkansas. His childhood home was filled with the sounds of his grandmother singing spirituals. In 1911, Still enrolled in Wilberforce University in Ohio, where he began to study medicine. He left the college before graduating and turned his attention to music, studying composition at Ohio's Oberlin Conservatory of Music and the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. In 1931, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra gave the debut performance of Still's Afro- American Symphony; it was the first time that a symphony composed by an African American had

7 been played by a major orchestra. In 1936, Still became the first African American to conduct a noted American orchestra when he led the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl. Still had a long and fruitful career as a composer, arranger and conductor. The multiple symphonies, ballets and operas that he produced over the years earned him the nickname "Dean of Afro-American Composers." Still also wrote for radio and film, and shared his talents further by creating compositions for children in the 1950s. Wolfgang Mozart ( ) Overture to Abduction from Seraglio Mozart was born in Salzburg to a musical family. From an early age, the young Mozart showed all the signs of a musical prodigy. By the age of 5 he could read and write music, and he would entertain people with his talents on the keyboard. By the age of 6 he was writing his first compositions. Mozart was generally considered to be a rare musical genius, though Mozart said that he was diligent in studying other great composers such as Haydn and Bach. During his childhood, he would frequently tour various palaces around Europe playing for important guests. At 17, he accepted a job as a court musician in Salzburg. In 1781, he moved permanently to Vienna where he stayed for the rest of his life. In Vienna, he became well known and was often in demand as a composer and performer. However, despite his fame, Mozart struggled to manage his finances and moved between periods of poverty and wealth. This difficulty was enhanced when, in 1786, Austria was involved in a war which led to lower demand for musicians. In 1782, he married against the wishes of his family. The work of Mozart is epic in scope and proportion. There were few branches of music Mozart did not touch. He composed operas, symphonies, concertos, and single pieces for the piano. His work spanned from joyful light-hearted pieces to powerful, challenging compositions which touched the human emotions. In the beginning of his career, Mozart had a powerful ability to learn from the music of others. But, as he grew, Mozart developed his very own style. In a similar way, the music of Mozart very much influenced the early works of Beethoven.

8 Richard Wagner ( ) Prelude to Act 3 of Lohengrin Wilhelm Richard Wagner was born on May 22, 1813, in Leipzig, Germany, into a middle-class family. He had eight brothers and sisters! As a child, Wagner showed little talent or interest in anything except for writing poetry. works. Wagner was a German composer, theatre director, and conductor who is primarily known for his operas (or, as some of his later works were later known, "music dramas"). Unlike most opera composers, Wagner wrote both the libretto (the script) and the music for each of his stage His compositions, particularly those of his later period, are notable for their complex textures, rich harmonies and orchestration, and the elaborate use of leitmotifs musical phrases, associated with individual characters, places, ideas or plot elements. Have you seen Harry Potter? There is a particular tune played each time you see the owl (Hedwig) enter a scene, this is an example of a leitmotif. In November of 1845 he finished the poem for Lohengrin and began composition early in The first production of Lohengrin took place in Weimar under Franz Liszt's ( ) direction in 1850 (Wagner did not see Lohengrin until 1861, that s 11 years later!). Wagner had his own opera house built, the Bayreuth Festspielhaus, which was quite extravagant. Many of Wagner s operas received their premieres there. His most important stage works continue to be performed in an annual festival run by his descendants. Arturo Marques (1950b.) Conga del Fuego Arturo Márquez was born in Alamos, Sonora in He is one of nine brothers and sisters. His father was a mariachi musician, and his dad s father was a Mexican folk musician in the northern states of Sonora and Chihuahua. Márquez heard many different kinds of music growing up; now he uses those styles in the music he writes. Just before his teen years, Márquez and his family moved to Southern California. He played the trombone and violin when he was in high school and later started studying the piano. He wrote his first composition when he was 16 and then attended the Mexican Music Conservatory. Conga del Fuego is an up-tempo, celebratory piece that is fun and catchy. It really gives the percussion section a workout with the signature conga kick!

9 John Philip Sousa ( ) The Stars and Stripes Forever John Philip Sousa was born in Washington, D.C. in He had a wide musical career as a performer, conductor, and composer. From he was the conductor of the Marine Band and became an American icon as The March King. Sousa composed 136 marches. One of his most popular marches, The Stars and Stripes Forever, became our nation s official march. It was composed on Christmas Day Sousa also started the Sousa Band in The popular band enjoyed tours across the U.S. and Canada. While on vacation in Europe, Sousa needed to return home early to help with managing the Sousa Band. It was during his voyage home that he created this famous melody. Sousa died in Reading, Pennsylvania, on March 6, He was 77 years old. He was in Reading leading rehearsals of the Ringgold Band. The last piece he conducted was The Stars and Stripes Forever.
