PROGRAM NOTES

Candide was Leonard Bernstein’s third Broadway musical,
following On the Town and Wonderful Town. Adapted by Lillian
Hellman from Voltaire’s 18th-century satire on blind optimism,
Bernstein’s Candide is an operetta set in the castle of the Baron
Thunder-ten-Tronckh in the mythical European land of Westphalia.
Within these walls live the Baron and Baroness; Cunégonde, their
beautiful and innocent virgin daughter; Maximilian, their handsome
son; Candide, their handsome bastard nephew; and Paquette, the
Baroness’ buxom serving maid. They are taught by Dr. Pangloss,
who preaches the philosophy that all is for the best in “The Best of
All Possible Worlds.”
This suite, arranged by Clare Grundman, is made up of five numbers
from Candide.
In The Best of All Possible Worlds, Doctor Pangloss, Voltaire’s
satirical portrait of the philosopher Gottfried von Leibnitz, tutors
his Westphalian pupils.
In Wesphalia Chorale and Battle Scene, the devout Westphalians
sing a chorale praising the integrity of their homeland, after which
they are massacred by the invading Bulgarian army.
In Auto-de-fe, Candide and Dr. Pangloss find themselves in Lisbon,
where, being free-thinkers, they are prosecuted as heretics by the
Spanish Inquisition; however, Candide and Dr. Pangloss escape.
Glitter and Be Gay depicts Cunegonde, Candide’s true love, singing
of her attempts to maintain a brilliant, carefree exterior, while she
may (or may not) be tortured inwardly by self-doubt.
In Make Our Garden Grow has Candide realizing that the only
purpose of living is to cultivate the earth and to create a garden.
Persichetti composed his massive Symphony for Band during a time
when directors vigorously sought repertoire that distinguished
bands as serious performance groups. Over sixty years later, this
work continues to receive frequent performances and is regarded
as a masterpiece of the genre. Symphony for Band is based upon
relatively short, rhythmic motives that are manipulated in a variety
of ways. Persichetti tends to preserve distinct instrumental families,
so brass, woodwind, and percussion often function as independent
groups.

PROGRAM NOTES

The slow second movement, Adagio Sostenuto, is based on Round
Me Falls the Night, from the composer’s Hymns and Responses for the
Church Year.

Round me falls the night;
Savior, be my Light.

through the hours in darkness shrouded
let me see thy face unclouded;
let Thy glory shine
in this heart of mine.
Earthly work is done,
earthly sounds are none,
rest in sleep and silence seeking,

let me hear thee softly speaking;
in my spirit’s ear

whisper, “I am near.”
Blessed, heavenly Light
shining through earth’s night;
voice that oft of love hast told me;
arms so strong to clasp and hold me,
thou thy watch wilt keep,
Savior, o’er my sleep.

Alec Wilder composed a series of octets for Brunswick, Columbia,
and Vox labels between 1938 and 1940, and another series in 1947.
Having written for dance bands, a hit song for the Mills Brothers,
and cabaret artist Mabel Mercer, these octets are enriched with
jazz rhythms and harmonies. However, they are uniquely scored
for instruments normally not associated with a jazz ensemble,
including flute, oboe/English horn, clarinet, bass clarinet, bassoon,
harpsichord, bass, and drum set. Seldom the Sun is the 22nd octet
in the series composed for small ensemble.

Variations on a Korean Folk Song is based upon a folk tune that the
composer learned while serving in the U.S. Army in Seoul, Korea.
The tune is known as Arrirang, a song of love and heartbreak that
can be found in many variations, with an origin that may date back
1000 years. In autumn 1966, for the Journal of Band Research,
Chance said: “I became acquainted with the folk song while
serving in Seoul, Korea, as a member of the Eighth U.S. Army
Band in 1958-59. The tune is not as simple as it sounds, and my
fascination with it during the intervening years led to its eventual
use as the theme for this set of variations.”
