La Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional del Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes y Literatura presenta un programa con el concierto para fagot de Mozart y la cantata Dona Nobis Pacem de Vaughan Williams, bajo la batuta de James Burton, director invitado, y la participación solista del fagotista Dag Jensen, la soprano Christina Pier, el barítono Iván Griffin, Solistas Ensamble de Bellas Artes, Coro de Madrigalistas de Bellas Artes y el Ensamble Escénico Vocal del Sistema Nacional de Fomento Musical. La Obertura En el sur de Edward Elgar fue estrenada en mayo de 1904 por el propio compositor al frente de la Orquesta Hallé, y está inspirada en las impresiones de su visita en 1903 a las playas de Alassio, en la Riviera italiana. Con la participación solista del renombrado fagotista noruego, Dag Jensen, la Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional interpreta de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart el Concierto para fagot y orquesta KV 191, que muestra, al igual que numerosas obras de su catálogo, la profunda comprensión del compositor de la naturaleza y la capacidad de los instrumentos de aliento. Dag Nació en Horten, Noruega. Comenzó a estudiar el fagot a los siete años con Robert Rönnes. Continuó su formación con Torleiv Nedberg en la Academia Noruega de Música de Oslo. Tuvo su primer puesto en la Filarmónica de Bergen a los 16 años de edad. Estudió más tarde con Klaus Thunemann en Hannover. De 2003 a 2005, Jensen fue fagot principal de la Orquesta del Festival de Lucerna fundada por Claudio Abbado. Concluye el programa de este concierto de la Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional con la monumental cantata del compositor inglés Ralph Vaughan-Williams, Dona Nobis Pacem (Danos la paz), para coro y gran orquesta, escrita y estrenada en 1936, ante los presagios de un posible conflicto bélico mundial. La obra fue comisionada por la sociedad coral Huddersfield para festejar su centenario. Los textos que utilizó Vaughan Williams +••.••(...)) provienen de fuentes diversas: poemas de Walt Whitman escritos a raíz de la Guerra Civil estadounidense, fragmentos de la Biblia y de la misa Católica. La frase Dona Nobis Pacem aparece en distintos momentos para reiterar la plegaria por la paz. Con el esplendor de la visión sonora de Vaughan Williams, esta cantata se suma, con el Réquiem de Guerra de Benjamin Britten y Un hijo de nuestro tiempo, de Michael Tippett, al prodigioso repertorio antibélico inglés del siglo XX. Originario de Londres, James Burton, director huésped, cantó desde niño en el coro de la Abadía de Westminster. Se graduó en el St. John College de Cambridge, donde estudió dirección coral. Tiene una maestría en dirección orquestal por el Conservatorio Peabody, donde estudió con Frederik Prausnitz y Gustav Meier. James Burton es también un reconocido compositor, y sus obras y arreglos corales han sido interpretados internacionalmente. Considerado como uno de los más destacados directores corales del Reino Unido, es actualmente Director Coral de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Boston y el Director del Coro del Festival Tanglewood.
Edward William Elgar Alassio Novello Amy Beach 1792 1822 1832 1842 1857 1904 1905 1934 2022
Edward Elgar +••.••(...)) “In Moonlight” February 12, 2022 Jan Van Impe, Afsnee/Gent Jozef Oosterlinck, Clarinet Jan Van Impe, Organ Lovaert (1842) Sir Edward William Elgar +••.••(...)) was an English composer, many of whose works have entered the British and international classical concert repertoire. "In Moonlight" is a song with music written by the English composer Edward Elgar in 1904 to words from the poem "An Ariette for Music. To a Lady singing to her Accompaniment on the Guitar”, by Percy Bysshe Shelley +••.••(...)) and published in 1832. The song is adapted to a central section of Elgar's concert-overture "In the South (Alassio)" where the "Canto Popolare" melody is introduced by a solo viola with a delicate and imaginative accompaniment, which could be likened to Shelley's "...accompaniment on the Guitar." The first performance of "In the South" was in March 1904. In July that year Elgar made different versions of the "Canto Popolare" section. These were variously for small orchestra, for piano and for various instrumental combinations. In August 1905 the song was reviewed in the London "Times": "Sir Edward Elgar is paying one of the penalties of popularity, and the adaptation of a theme from his overture "In the South" to Shelley's words beginning "As the moon's soft splendour" will very likely attain the success which the publishers, Messrs. Novello & Co., appear to anticipate, as they issue it in several keys. The words, as might be expected, have to suffer a good deal of rhythmic modification in order to fit the "canto popolare", but this is hardly likely to stand in the way of the song's success". The same poem was set by many others including the American composer Amy Beach ("Mrs. H. H. A. Beach"), as her Op. 1 No. 4, with the title "Ariette".

Edward Elgar Alassio Sir Georg Solti Shepherd Hallé Hans Richter Schuster London Philharmonic Orchestra Hallé Orchestra Covent Garden 1903 1904
Edward Elgar: "In the South (Alassio)" Overture, Op. 50 (with Score) Composed: 1904 Conductor: Sir Georg Solti Orchestra: London Philharmonic Orchestra In the South (Alassio), Op. 50, is a concert overture composed by Edward Elgar during a family holiday in Italy in the winter of 1903 to 1904. The subtitle "Alassio" refers to the town on the Italian Riviera where Elgar and his family stayed. He strolled around during the visit, and his general location within the Province of Savona came to provide him with sources of inspiration. He later recalled: Then in a flash, it all came to me – the conflict of the armies on that very spot long ago, where I now stood – the contrast of the ruin and the shepherd – and then, all of a sudden, I came back to reality. In that time I had composed the overture – the rest was merely writing it down. The première of the work was given by the Hallé Orchestra on 16 March 1904, the third day of an "Elgar Festival" at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden. It was to have been conducted by Hans Richter, but as Elgar did not have the score ready in time for Richter to study it before the performance, Elgar conducted the orchestra himself. Frank Schuster was with the Elgars at the première. In the piece, the central serenade is played by a solo viola (10:25). However, in July of the same year, Elgar took this section from the piece and fitted it to a poem by Shelley as a song under the title In Moonlight. Later he made several instrumental versions titled "Canto Popolare", including an arrangement for violin and piano made in collaboration with violinist Isabella Jaeger, wife of Elgar's friend August Jaeger. The piece is about 20 minutes long. The main descending theme is echoed throughout the sections of the orchestra all through the piece. The viola solo is of particular note due partly to its length, being on such an underused instrument, but also because of the contrast it creates with the rest of the piece which is very bold. There are large legato passages between the strings and horns, and the rest of the brass add tremendous excitement in the middle of the piece with loud chords separated by large intervals.
