Hugo Wolf (1860 — 1903)

Hugo Wolf was born at Windischgraz, Austria (now Slovenj Gradec, Slovenia).
His father was a German musician and dealer in leather. Wolf learned the violin
and piano at an early age but his difficult temperament led to him being
expelled from his first two schools. He was finally sent to Vienna to study at the
conservatoire, but after only 2 years he was again expelled. Following a very
brief spell as a piano teacher, he survived on the charity of some good friends,
then from 1883 to 1887 worked as a music critic in Vienna. Wolf adored
Wagner, detested Brahms and was a close friend of his conservatory
classmate, Mahler. Unfortunately, his disparagement of Brahms made Wolf
many enemies and held back the performance of his own music.

However, in 1887, Wolf gave up being a music critic. From 1888, he consumed
himself with composition in a concentrated effort that produced, in a short time,
settings of 50 poems by Goethe and a further 53 by Eduard Mérike. The highly
successful first performances of Elfenlied and Der Feuerreiter in 1894
contributed decisively to the rise in Wolf's popularity. In 9 years, he composed
over 200 Lieder, in which music and poetry are more intimately joined than
they had been in the work of any composer since Schubert. Wolf combined an
independent vocal line with expressive techniques in the piano part and, using
a variety of rhythmic and harmonic devices to depict textual imagery, illustrate
mood and create musical structure, he continued and extended the Lied
tradition Schubert and Schumann had established.

Morgenhymnus (Morning Hymn)

In December 1897, Wolf created a version of his 1896 tenor Lied
Morgenstimmung (Morning Mood) for mixed choir and orchestra, renaming it
Morgenhymnus (Morning Hymn). It was a setting of text by Robert Reinick

(painter and poet; 1805 — 1852) and Wolf had already changed Reinick's
original title Morgenlied (Morning Song) for his solo version. In its monumental
character, this wonderful song is very characteristic of Wolf's later style.

Elfenlied (Fairy Song)
Elfenlied (for soprano, female voice choir and orchestra
) was composed on
11 May 1889, and is one of two remnants of a planned
opera based on
Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream. The
highly successful first
performance of Elfenlied took place with that of Der Feuerreit
er in Berlin on
08 January 1894, with the famous choral conductor Siegfried
Ochs. Wolf had
the privilege of witnessing his success, together with
Bruckner, who had
arrived by the same train for a performance of his
Te Deum in the same

concert. [Wolf and Bruckner had first met in 1 884,
before the musical world
recognised the originality and monumental greatnes
s of Bruckner's symphonic
output, which Wolf was one of the first to value. For his
part, the older man was

early to recognise Wolf's mastery of the art of Lied,

congenial and long-lasting relationship.]

Der Feuerreiter (The Fire Rider)
In setting the poems of Eduard Mérike (a South German pastor; 1804 — 1875),
Wolf created the first of the great songbooks on which he built his reputation. In
only 42 days in 1888, Wolf had completed 53 Mdrike Lieder, matchless in their
poetic settings. Mérike, although unknown today, was in Wolf's time a poet
considered second only to Goethe. His subjects were poetic idylls and
fairytales, and his natural surroundings. The composer claimed Morike as a
kindred spirit, an alter ego and a poet he venerated, devoid of the confessional
gushing that Wolf found so objectionable in certain poets of his own day.

The Morike ballad Der Feuerreiter was composed on 10 October 1888 and is a
work of furious rhythmic propulsion and demonic power. In 1892, Wolf
arranged it for choir and orchestra but did not touch the musical substance: the
singing voice appears in the trebles of the choir, the orchestral potential of the
masterly piano accompaniment is brought to light with great skill.

Der Feuerreiter, whose origin lies in folk legend, has the uncanny power to

detect distant fires and is drawn to them irresistibly. Supernatural forces forbid

him to extinguish fires, but in the past, he disobeyed their stricture. Now, when
he dashes on horseback to the burning mill, he dies in the flames as
punishment for his digression. Der Feuerreiter was one of Wolf's favourite
pieces and he performed it to make a strong impression, predicting that it

would make his listeners’ hair stand on end.

Sehet ihr am Fensterlein
Dort die rote Miitze wieder?
Nicht geheuer mul3 es sein,
Denn er geht schon auf und nieder.
Und auf einmal welch Gewlihle
Bei der Briicke, nach dem Feld!
Horch, das Feuerglécklein gellt:
Hinter'm Berg,
Hinter'm Berg
Brennt es in der Miihle!

Do you see the red cap
There again at the little window?
There's something eerie about it
Because it goes up and down.
And then suddenly: what a turmoil
By the bridge, towards the field!
Listen, the little fire bell shrills:
Behind the hill,
Behind the hill
There's a fire at the mill!

Vivace Chorus

Schaut! da springt er wiitend schier
Durch das Tor der Feuerreiter,

Auf dem rippendiirren Tier,
Als auf einer Feuerleiter!

Querfeldein! Durch Qualm
Und Schwiile
Rennt er schon und ist am Ort!
Driiben schallt es fort und fort:

Hinterm Beryg,
Hinter'm Berg

Look! He's leaping through the gate
Almost raving, the fire rider

On the beast, lean as a rake,
As though it were a fire-ladder!

Over stick and stone, through smoke
And stifling heat
He comes running, he arrives!
Yonder it resounds on and on:
Behind the hill,
Behind the hill

Brennt es in der Miihle!

There's a fire at the mill!

Der so oft den roten Hahn
Meilenweit von fem gerochen,
Mit des heilgen Kreuzes Spahn

He, who has so often smelled
The red cock from miles away,

Freventlich die Glut besprochen —

Who has used a splinter of the holy cross,

Weh! dir grinst vom Dachgestiihle

Sacrilegiously, to put out the fire —
Woe! From the rafters the enemy

Im Héllenschein.

Is grinning at you, surrounded
By the glow of hell,

Dort der Feind

Gnade Gott der Seele dein!
Hinter'm Beryg,
Hinter'm Berg

God have mercy on your soul!
Behind the hill,

Rast er in der Miihle!

Behind the hill
He races into the mill!

Keine Stunde hielt es an,
Bis die Miihle borst in Triimmer;

Not an hour did it take
"Til the mill explodes in ruins,

Doch den kecken Reitersmann
Sah man von der Stunde nimmer.
Volk und Wagen im Gewiihle
Kehren heim von all dem Graus;

Auch das Glécklein klinget aus:

Hinter'm Berg,
Hinterm Berg

But from that hour forth
The bold rider was never seen again.
Milling crowds and carts return
Home from all the horror,

And the little bell stops ringing:

Behind the hill,
Behind the hill

Brennts! —

There's a fire...

Nach der Zeit ein Miiller fand
Ein Gerippe sammt der Miitzen

At length a miller found
A skeleton, complete with cap,

Aufrecht an der Kellerwand
Auf der beinern Mébhre sitzen:

Feuerreiter, wie so kiihle
Reitest du in deinem Grab!

Husch, da féllt's in Asche ab.

Ruhe wohl,
Ruhe wohl
Drunten in der Miihle!

Vivace Chorus

Sitting upright by the cellar wall
On a bony mare.
Fire rider, how cool
Is the grave in which you're riding!

In a flash, he crumbles to ashes.
Rest ye well,
Rest ye well
Down there at the mill!

Johannes Brahms (1833 - 1897)
Brahms was born in Hamburg, the son of a double bass player, and received
an early grounding in the classics — especially the music of Bach. Brahms had
begun his professional career in the 1850s as a piano accompanist to betterknown artists, particularly violinists, such as Joachim. His alliance with Joachim
led to an association with Robert and Clara Schumann, who stimulated
international interest in the young composer; thus it can fairly be said that
Brahms acquired his reputation through Joachim.

In many respects Brahms brings the classical-romantic continuum to an end.
He felt no kinship to the 'music of the future' that was the mantle of Wagner
and Liszt, and throughout his life, Brahms was one of the few composers of his
era interested in the classical approach to variations, sonatas and such 18th
century contrapuntal procedures as fugue and passacaglia. In the age of the
bravura concerto, where the solo instrument is often merely accompanied by
the orchestra, Brahms, in his violin concerto and two piano concertos, wrote in
a truly classical manner that treats soloist and orchestra as equals, in the
tradition of Mozart and Beethoven.

Violin Concerto in D, Op. 77
Allegro non troppo
Adagio

Allegro giocoso, ma non troppo

Brahms composed his violin concerto in the summer of 1878 for his long-time
friend Joachim. Brahms certainly knew the impressive extent of his friend's
talent, but not being a violinist himself, the composer was concerned about the
practicality of what he was creating and invited Joachim to make corrections.
The violinist, who was also something of a composer himself, eagerly
complied, starting a discussion which continued until the concerto’s premiere in
Leipzig on New Year's Day, 1879. Brahms did not adopt all of Joachim's
suggestions, but did, however, leave him to compose his own cadenza in the
first movement. As the work received mixed reviews at the premiere, Brahms
and Joachim continued with revisions until its publication 6 months later. Even
then, not all the musical experts were pleased, but audiences have always
delighted in the piece, revelling in its lyrical melodies and rich orchestration.

The first movement opens with an unusually long tutti section, which is
eventually interrupted by the entry of the solo violin. After some extended
passage work, the violin restates and embellishes the opening themes. Dark
tones can be felt in the development section, but overall, the mood is one of
confident tranquillity.

The slow movement begins with a long oboe solo of great beauty, reinforcing
the spirit of unhurried calmness. The solo violin takes over, with an exquisitely
embellished version of this theme. The second subject introduces a note of
yearning, but tranquillity is restored in the recapitulation, when the oboe theme
briefly returns, accompanied this time by delicate tracery on the solo violin.

Vivace Chorus

The spirit of exuberance pervades the final movement, which is in sonata-rondo
form. A Hungarian-style main theme is stated at the outset by the solo violin in

thirds. After that two main themes are explored, one typically robust, and the
other gentler in character. A short written-out cadenza precedes the final poco
piu presto section, where Brahms cleverly transforms the rhythm to hurry the
concerto to its joyous conclusion.

Schicksalslied (Song of Destiny) Op. 54
Friedrich Hélderlin (1770 — 1843) was a major German lyric poet whose work
bridged the Classical and Romantic schools. Like his older contemporaries
Goethe and Schiller, Holderlin was a fervent admirer of ancient Greek culture,

but also had a very personal understanding of it. Schicksalslied is the last stanza
from his 1799 epistolary novel Hyperion and in it he movingly expresses the

Greek idea of the tragic fall, contrasting the idyllic life of gods who are untouched
by destiny (Schicksal) with the tragic fate of humanity who are shattered by it.

Brahms composed his setting of Hyperions Schicksalslied (Hyperion's Song of
Destiny) in 1871, and like the Alto Rhapsody and Ein deutsches Requiem, it

contains some of his most powerful and emotional music. However, unlike the
original poem, the piece concludes with an orchestral postlude which, by
returning to the opening music, brings hope for the future.

Ihr wandelt droben im Licht
Auf weichem Boden, selige Genien!

Glénzende Gotterliifte
Riihren Euch leicht,

Wie die Finger der Kiinstlerin
Heilige Saiten.

Schicksallos, wie der schlafende
Séugling, atmen die Himmlischen;
Keusch bewahrt in bescheidener Knospe,
Bliihet ewig ihnen der Geist,

You wander aloft in the light

On soft earth, ye blessed spirits!
Radiant and celestial breezes
Touch you gently

As the harpist's fingers brushing
The sacred lyre.

Free of destiny, as the sleeping baby,
The immortal ones breathe;
Preserved in purity in a humble bud,
Their spirit blossoms eternally,

Und die seligen Augen
Blicken in stiller, ewiger Klarheit.

And their blessed eyes

Doch uns ist gegeben,
Auf keiner Stétte zu ruhn;

But we are not allowed
To rest in any place;

Es schwinden, es fallen
Die leidenden Menschen

Blindlings von einer Stunde zur andem,
Wie Wasser von Klippe zu Klippe geworfen,
Jahrlang ins Ungewisse hinab.

Vivace Chorus

Watch in calm and eternal clarity.

An anguished mankind

Reels and plummets
Blindly from one hour to the next
Like water, flung from crag to crag,
Plunged for years into the unknown.

Anton Bruckner (1824 — 1896)
Anton Bruckner was born in Ansfelden, Austria and his father, who was a
schoolmaster and organist, was his first music teacher. Bruckner studied at the
Augustinian monastery in St. Florian, becoming an organist there in 1851. He
continued his studies until he was 40, and was latterly introduced to the music
of Wagner, which he studied extensively from 1863 onwards. In 1861 he had
become acquainted with Liszt, who was first and foremost a harmonic
innovator, and, together with Wagner, had initiated the new German school.

In 1868, Bruckner accepted a post at the Vienna Conservatory, where he
taught music theory and organ performance. Mahler, who called Bruckner his
“forerunner", was in attendance during this time. In 1875, Bruckner accepted a
post at the Vienna University. During these years he concentrated most of his
energies on writing symphonies. These were poorly received and not
understood at the time, although he did have supporters, including the famous
conductor Arthur Nikisch. In addition to his symphonies, Bruckner wrote
masses, motets and other sacred choral works. He was a very simple man
and, unlike many of the great Romantic composers, was deeply religious, his
choral works being rooted in the faith of the Catholic Church.

Bruckner was no child prodigy; his genius did not appear until well into his
fourth decade, broad fame and acceptance not coming until he was into his
60s. This was partly achieved due to his prowess as an organist. He impressed
audiences in England in 1871, giving six recitals on a new Henry Willis organ at
the Royal Albert Hall and five more recitals at the Crystal Palace. However, it
was not until 50 years after his death that Bruckner's music found wide
recognition in this country, but he is now acknowledged as one of the giants of
the 19th century in the field of symphonic and choral music. His symphonies,
on account of their scale, massive sonorities and imposing structure, have
often been referred to as cathedrals of sound.

Bruckner described his Te Deum as "the best work of my life". It was written in
1883 and is on a characteristically grandiose scale. It was an immediate
success from its first performance in 1886, and is one of the cornerstones of
Bruckner's reputation, with its strength and dignity, its unyielding faith and its
plea for redemption. Two substantial choruses flank the three short middle
sections — the first in triumphant mood, and the finale rising to a climax in which
all the voices are stretched to the top of their range with brilliant effect.

Jeremy Backhouse

Photography by Sim Canetty-Clarke

Jeremy Backhouse began his musical career in Canterbury Cathedral, where

he was Head Chorister, and later studied music at Liverpool University. He
spent 5 years as Music Editor at the Royal National Institute for the Blind,
where he was responsible for the transcription of print music into Braille. In
1986 he joined EMI Records as a Literary Editor and from April 1990 he
combined his work as a Consultant Editor for EMI Classics with his career as a
freelance conductor. In November 2004, he took the post of Music Editor at
Boosey & Hawkes Music Publishers.
In January 1995, Jeremy was appointed Chorus Master and subsequently
Music Director of the Guildford Philharmonic Choir (now Vivace Chorus). Major
works performed in Guildford Cathedral include Mahler's Symphony No. 2 and

Symphony No. 8, (the monumental Symphony of a Thousand), Prokofiev's
Alexander Nevsky, Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius, Karl Jenkins’ The Armed
Man and Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 2 (Lobgesang).
Jeremy is also the conductor of the Vasari Singers, widely acknowledged as
one of the finest chamber choirs in the country, performing choral music from

the Renaissance right up to contemporary commissions. In 2005, the choir and
Jeremy celebrated their 25th anniversary together with a highly regarded
project including ten new commissions, a recording of these and other 21st
century anthems, and a world premiere concert at St John's, Smith Square.

Jeremy has also worked with a number of the leading choirs in the country,
including the Philharmonia Chorus (preparing for Sir Colin Davis), the London

Choral Society (for Ronald Corp) and the Brighton Festival Chorus (for Carl
Davies). From September 1998 to the end of 2004, Jeremy was the Music
Director of the Wooburn Singers, only the third conductor in the distinguished
history of the choir, following Sir Richard Hickox (who founded the choir in
1967) and most recently, Stephen Jackson.

Vivace Chorus (formerly the Guildford Philharmonic Choir)
The Guildford Philharmonic Choir was founded by the Borough of Guildford in
1947 to perform major choral works with the Guildford Philharmonic Orchestra.
During this time, the Choir grew both in stature and reputation to become one
of the foremost Choruses in the country. The Choir grew to prominence under
the batons of such eminent British musicians as Sir Charles Groves, Vernon
Handley and Sir David Willcocks, the current President. For some time, the
Choir had been independent from the Borough of Guildford, and to reflect its
independent status and ever-increasing and varied undertakings, decided to
'rebrand' itself — the change of name, to Vivace Chorus, was announced in
May 2005, during our last concert of the 2004/05 season.

Vivace Chorus enjoys a challenging and varied concert repertoire, performing
works spanning the last five centuries — some well-known, but also many
rarities deserving to be heard by a wider audience. By way of demonstration:
the 2002/03 season included Dvorak’s beautiful but rarely heard Requiem, and
the climax of the season was undoubtedly Mahler's Symphony No. 8, where
the choir combined forces with Lewisham Choral Society, the South West
Essex Choir and the Grey Coat Hospital Girls Choir. The season also included
a concert of American music, featuring works by Barber, Bernstein, Copland
and Stravinsky. The season concluded with Borodin’s Polovtsian Dances and
Prokofiev's Alexander Nevsky (both sung in Russian), together with
Rachmaninov’'s Piano Concerto No. 3, performed by the choir's outstanding
accompanist, Jeremy Filsell.

The 2004/05 season began with a glowing performance of Elgar's The Dream
of Gerontius, followed by the unusual and much-appreciated /falian Inspirations
— non-operatic works by famous composers of Italian opera. This was followed
by the first in our Contemporary Choral Classics Cycle, a projected 4-year
innovative series of choral works from the late 20th and 21st century — classics
of the future paired with established masterpieces. The chosen pairing was
Vaughan Williams’ Dona nobis pacem (1936) and Karl Jenkins’ The Armed
Man (2000). During the summer break, we were invited to sing (under our new
name for the first time) a 'Last Night of the Proms' charity concert for CHASE at
a packed Fairfield Halls, Croydon. This was a big success as well as great fun,
and we were delighted to be invited back last month for this year's concert!
The 2005/6 season began with another piece rarely heard in its entirely in the
UK — Mendelssohn’s epic choral Symphony No. 2 (Lobgesang), together with
smaller choral items by Parry, Elgar, Mendelssohn and Holst. As a complete
contrast, our next concert was devoted entirely to works of Bach and Handel.
Vivace Chorus is always searching for new members to maintain its high
standard. For further details about joining, please contact Jane Sweaney,
Tel. 07788 410342. Rehearsals are held on Monday evenings throughout term
time in central Guildford and prospective members are most welcome to attend
rehearsals on an informal basis before committing to an audition. For more
information, see our website at www.vivacechorus.org.
