This performance is a great way to hear the differences between major- key and minor- key Mozart in one sitting. By Jacob Stockinger. Talk about the perfect graduation gift for students at the graduation ceremonies this weekend at the University of Wisconsin- Madison! It now seems that it will NOT be either au revoir or adieu for the UW Chamber Orchestra (below), as it first appeared. Conductor James Smith has made some compromises and adjustments that make it sound likely that the UW Chamber Orchestra will continue next season and next academic year without the hiatus of even one semester that seemed to be its certain fate earlier in this semester. Here is how it all developed, the backstory, according to a previous posting: https: //welltempered. And now comes a reassuring year- end letter to students, faculty and staff from Jim Smith (below), who heads the instrumental conducting program at the University of Wisconsin- Madison School of Music. Here is the text: “To the members of the Symphony and Chamber Orchestras: “I am writing to thank you for the artistry and professionalism you brought to every rehearsal and performance. We made some beautiful and exciting music together, and I am indeed lucky to be your conductor.“Many members of the orchestra will graduate in a few days, and to each of you I send my very best wishes for a creative and interesting life.“Next year, there will a bit of a change in the orchestra program. There has been much speculation regarding the potential elimination of the Chamber Orchestra. I am happy to tell you that this is indeed NOT the case.“There is, however, some uncertainty regarding the number of winds available to fill the positions required for a proper chamber orchestra. So I have elected to program works for strings with the potential of adding keyboards, percussion, faculty soloists, and the solo winds as needed for various works.“Here are a few of the works under consideration: “Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste” by Bela Bartok (below top)“Metamorphosen” by Richard Strauss“Apollon Musagete” by Igor Stravinsky (below middle) “Schubert’s “Death and the Maiden” string quartet as arranged by Gustav Mahler below bottom)Adagio from the Symphony No. Gustav Mahler“I am quite excited about this repertoire, and know we will have wonderful concerts together.“You can register for Chamber Orchestra if it has been reintroduced into the schedule of classes. It may be listed Opera Orchestra, a title designed to act as a holding space for whatever substitute for the Chamber Orchestra was necessary to cover the opera production in the first semester.“Whatever the title of the course, it serves as your organization credit. Difficulties can be sorted out later. The orchestra will meet as usual on Mondays and Wednesdays.“Again, thank you for everything and have a wonderful summer.“Sincerely yours,“James Smith”If you doubt how welcome this development is, take a listen to the video below. It comes from the outstanding last concert by the UW Chamber Orchestra, which, despite performing for free, deserve a full house every time they play. Some higher profile performing times might help achieve that. First, they performed a delightful homage to Mozart by French composer Jacques Ibert (below top) and then an homage- like Dance Suite to Baroque French composer Francois Couperin by the late Romantic composer Richard Strauss (below bottom). Then came a highlight, a genuine masterpiece: the Symphony No. E- Flat Major by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (below). The ensemble delivered with grace and taste, it also with muscularity. This was no music box Mozart, but a performance that shows you why Mozart has been so revered by other composers and listeners alike, and demonstrates what a big development Mozart proved in the history of Western classical music. It sure showed how Mozart wrote a lot more than pleasant, easy- listening wallpaper music to accompany brunch or to allow listeners to multi- task. Here is a You Tube video of the opening of the first movement from that recent performance by the UW Chamber Orchestra: Posted in Classical music.
