Jean Sibelius Program Notes Night on Bald Mountain-Modest Mussorgsky (1839-1881) Mussorgsky's musical picture of St. John's Eve on Bald Mountain, now known as Night of Bald Mountain, was inspired by both Russian literary works and by legend. It represents a witches' Sabbath occurring on St. Johns Eve. Ironically, Mussorgsky completed the composition on St. John's Eve in 1867. The work was never performed during Mussorgsky's lifetime, but five years after his death, an arrangement and re-orchestration of the work was published by Rimsky-Korsakov. It was premiered in St. Petersburg in 1886. This work was featured in Walt Disney's 1940 version of Fantasia. Peer Gynt Suite No.1-Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) Henrik Ibsen wrote a five-act play telling the story of Peer Gynt, a Norwegian scoundrel, who in addition to being lazy and impetuous, dreamed of ruling the world. The play acted out his life of dreams, misdeeds, and travels . Ibsen asked his friend, Edvard Grieg, to compose the music for the play. After much inner turmoil, Grieg completed the music in 1875 and the play premiered in 1876 in Oslo, with Grieg conducting the orchestra . The original score consisted of 23 individual pieces totaling nearly 90 minutes of music. In 1888 and 1891, Grieg extracted eight movements from the score to make two four-movement suites (Suite No.1 Op. 46 and Suite No.2 Op. 55). Only these two suites of music were available from the play, until the original score was published in 1908, one year after Grieg's death. 1. Morning: This movement captures the sunrise in Norwegian forests and mountains, with birds singing, and the world fresh and anew. 2. Ase's Death: This elegy depicts Ase, Peer Gynt's mother, dying alone on a mountain. 3. Anitra's Dance: Anitra, a chieftain's daughter , dances seductively for Peer Gynt, who is infatuated with her. 4. In the Hall of the Mountain King: This piece depicts gnomes, and their bizarre dances, as they chase after Peer Gynt. Carnival of the Animals-Camille Saint-Satins (1835-1921) Saint-Saens composed this work in February 1886, in a small Austrian village, where he retreated to following a disastrous concert tour of Germany. The work was scored for two pianos and a very small ensemble, and Saint-Saens regarded this work as "such fun." It was intended for his students at the l:cole Niedermeyer. but the first performance was a private concert in 1886. There were several private performances, but Saint-Saens insisted that the work not be published during his lifetime. However, he did publish an arrangement of The Swan for solo cello and piano in 1886. The entire work was published in 1922, a year after his death. And God Created Great Whales-Alan Hovhaness (1911-2000) Alan Hovhaness was an American composer of Scottish and Armenian descent. He started composing at the age of four, and at the age of 14 completely dedicated himself to composing. Hovhaness investigated the ancient traditional music of India, Japan, South Korea, and Hawaii during a series of research trips from 1959 to 1962. Elements of this traditional music were incorporated into many of his pieces, including tonight's work. Hovhaness was a prolific composer , and is credited with 67 symphonies , over 434 Opus numbers, two ballets, and nine movie scores. This symphonic poem was commissioned by Andre Kostelanetz and the New York Philharmonic, and includes actual recorded humpback and bowhead whale sounds. The title comes from Genesis 1 :21 in the King James Bible. The work was premiered on June 11, 1970 in New York City, and remains one of Hovhaness' most popular compositions . Finlandia-Jean Sibelius (1865-1957) Jean Sibelius is regarded as Finland's greatest composer . Much of Sibelius' music helped establish the Finnish national identity , as it sought independence from Russia. Sibelius composed Finlandia in 1899 as a disguised protest against the Russian Empire's increasing censorship . It was written for the Press Celebrations of 1899, and depicts the national struggle of the Finnish people. The work was performed under different names at different concerts to avoid Russian censorship . The piece ends with the quiet Finlandia Hymn. Sibelius reworked this hymn into a stand-alone piece, and words were added in 1941 by Veikko Koskenniemi. It is now one of the most important national songs of Finland. The hymn, with different words, has also been used as the Christian hymn Be Still, My Soul. During the last 30 years of his life, Sibelius produced no musical works. Finland still celebrates the composer's birthday every December 8th as the "Day of Finnish Music."
