PROGRAM
WELCOME
Welcome to Sounds from the Deep.
This year marks 45 years since I joined Queensland Symphony Orchestra as Principal Harpist, a record for this position in professional Australian orchestras.
Things have changed a lot over the years. Our Sunday work in the 1970s required us to perform free outdoor evening concerts in the hot wet summer months in the old Sound Shell in the City Botanic Gardens. Intrepid and loyal Queenslanders flocked to hear us, decked out in all-weather attire and armed with mosquito repellent and waterproof ground cover. Additional gatecrashers of the non-human kind were dozens if not hundreds of cane toads loitering in the darker areas, attracted by the stage lighting. Things weren’t too comfortable on stage either, as musicians regularly dodged crawling and flying insects, some even landing on our fingers as we played, or using the occasional bald head of a comrade for a safer landing strip. I am very relieved that in more recent times we have relocated our Sunday concerts to the delightful QPAC Concert Hall – far more amenable to good listening.
Some of the music we present for you today we also played regularly back then – Handel’s Water Music, The Beautiful Blue Danube and The Moldau are particular favourites. I am especially fond of the ballet Swan Lake as there are many beautiful harp solos throughout. The heroes appropriately die in the lake and their souls rush up to heaven accompanied by the glorious sounds of repeated harp arpeggios in C flat major – what a beautiful harmonic place to rest for eternity!
I hope you enjoy today’s concert. Thank you for your ongoing support.

IF YOU'RE NEW TO THE ORCHESTRA
Orchestras sit in sections based on types of instruments. There are four main sections in the symphony orchestra (strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion) and sometimes a keyboard section.
STRINGSThese instruments produce sound by bowing or plucking stretched strings.
First and Second ViolinsViolaCelloDouble Bass
WOODWINDWind instruments produce sound by being blown into.
Flute / PiccoloClarinet / Bass ClarinetOboe / Cor AnglaisBassoon / Contrabassoon
BRASSBrass players create sound by vibrating their lips. When this vibration is pushed through large brass tubes, it can create significant noise.
HornTrumpet / CornetTrombone / Bass TromboneTuba
PERCUSSIONThese instruments create sound by being struck. Some instruments just make a sound; others play particular notes.
Timpani, Harp, Bass Drum, Bells, Bongo Drums, Chimes, Cymbals (Crash Cymbals, Pair of Cymbals, Ride Cymbal, Suspended Cymbal), Glockenspiel, Gong, High Hat, Marimba, Piatti, Snare Drum, Tam Tam, Tom Tom, Triangle, Vibraphone, Xylophone

LISTENING GUIDE

Bedřich Smetana (1824-1884)The Moldau from Má vlastA major exponent of musical nationalism in the 19th century, the Czech composer Bedřich Smetana wrote many pieces extolling the virtues of his homeland. His most famous work is probably the symphonic cycle Má vlast (My Country) which features the movement titled, ‘The Moldau’. The Moldau portrays the course of Bohemia’s mighty Moldau river from its source as two cold streams (flute and clarinet) unite in a single current flowing past various Czech sights (meadows, castles, etc…) before vanishing into the distance.
George Frideric Handel (1685-1759)Suite No.1 in F major, HWV 348, from Water Music
8. Bourrée 9. Hornpipe
Water parties – trips on barges up the Thames – were employed by the British monarchy to keep themselves visible to their subjects. George I found water parties the least irksome part of royal pageantry. He was also an admirer of the music of Handel who had been his Kapellmeister while Elector of Hannover and so, when Baron Kielmansegge stage-managed a water party in 1717 for a journey from Whitehall to Chelsea, Handel wrote three suites of dances and other short pieces. The king liked them so much he asked for them to be played ‘three times in going and returning’. Today’s selection comes from Suite 1. A bourrée is a pert dance of French origin. A hornpipe is a lively dance associated with sailors.
Nigel Westlake (b. 1958)Antarctica: Suite for Orchestra and Guitar
1. The Last Place on Earth 3. Penguin Ballet
Nigel Westlake is one of Australia’s most prolific composers whose influence extends beyond the concert hall. He wrote the music for the popular Babe movies. His music for Antarctica began as a soundtrack to John Weiley’s IMAX documentary on the southern continent. Although converted into guitar concerto form in 1992, the concerto exhibits its filmic origins, inspired by Antarctica’s awe-inspiring landscapes and seas. In its original guise, ‘The Last Place on Earth’ accompanied an aerial view of the ice cap, shot in the full daylight of the midnight sun. ‘Penguin Ballet’ shows another, less comical, side of these birds – ‘so clumsy on land, so graceful in the water’. To evade leopard seals, emperor penguins must leave the water at fantastic speeds. Westlake’s music mirrors this mercurial action.

LISTENING GUIDE
Stanley Myers (1930-1993) orch. Jessica Wells (b. 1974)Cavatina from The Deer HunterStanley Myers was a British musician who composed music for over 60 films and TV series. He was an early mentor of Hans Zimmer, famous for Pirates of the Caribbean. This cavatina was originally composed for piano but Australian guitarist John Williams suggested it be turned into a work for guitar, in which form it was used in a 1970 film, The Walking Stick, but became most famous as the signature theme of Michael Cimino’s 1978 film, The Deer Hunter.
Benjamin Britten (1913-1976)Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes, Op.33a
III. Moonlight: Andante comodo e rubato
The young British composer Benjamin Britten might be said to have made his mark with the 1942 premiere at Sadler’s Wells, London, of his opera Peter Grimes. The poem on which the opera is based, The Borough by George Crabbe, with its seafaring village atmosphere, resonated deeply with Britten whose parents’ house in Lowestoft ‘directly faced the sea’, and where fierce storms ‘sometimes drove ships on our coast and ate away whole stretches of neighbouring cliffs’. The Four Sea Interludes that Britten extracted from the opera have been described as some of the most effective portrayals of the sea in the orchestral literature. In a theatrical performance, the repose of ‘Moonlight’ is ironic. Another of Grimes’ apprentices has died by misadventure, and already the audience senses that Grimes is steering unavoidably towards tragedy.
Johann Strauss Jr. (1825-1899)On the Beautiful Blue Danube, Op.314Stanley Kubrick used Johann Strauss II’s Blue Danube waltz to accompany a scene of docking spacecraft in his science fiction film, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and in fact Strauss’s waltz may have had its origins in a piece for men’s chorus celebrating Vienna’s new street lighting, but the lilt and atmosphere of the work have come to be synonymous with the Danube river. The introduction might be fog lifting off the river in the early morning. And even if the Danube is only blue on certain days, Strauss’s waltz has, as Egon Gartenberg once said, made the Danube blue for all the world. Was it the almost-symphonic scale or the felicitous melody that made Johannes Brahms once wish he had written this piece?
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893)Finale Act IV from Swan Lake, Op.20
No.28 Odette Offended No.29 Finale
Tchaikovsky said that he composed Swan Lake for the money (800 rubles) but in composing it the symphonist became one of the great ballet composers. The work was premiered at Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre in 1877. The plot concerns maidens who have been turned into swans by the evil sorcerer Rothbart. In Act III, Prince Siegfried’s mother demands that he choose a bride. In love with the swan-princess Odette, he mistakenly chooses Rothbart’s daughter Odile who appears similar to Odette except she wears black. In Act IV he rushes back to the swans’ lake to apologise to Odette and Rothbart arrives to force him to honour his pledge to Odile, but Siegfried and Odette plunge into the lake denying Rothbart his victory. The famous oboe melody transforms into the major as if confirming Rothbart’s defeat.
