 Programme Notes
Programme Felix Mendelssohn Overture to Fingals Cave
Also known as The Hebrides and The Solitary Island, Overture to Fingals Cave illustrates Mendelssohns journey to the Western Highlands where, on the
island of Staffa in Scotland, the composer encountered the wonderous sea cave.
e Mendelssohn: Overture to Fingals Cave, Op. 26
The overture opens with a theme played by the violas, cellos, and bassoons, depicting the darkness and loneliness of a cave. The second theme conjures the

e Smetana: Die Moldau movement of the sea through a wavelike effect created by the violins. As this theme develops, one can almost hear the wind and seabirds, and the ocean
crashing against the shore.

e Vivaldi: Violin Concerto in E flat La Tempesta Di Mare, RV 253 As the music subsides, the solitude is restored and the atmosphere of the cave recreated. The piece ends with a brilliant coda with a tone-picture of the sea
and the cave against the backdrop of waves.

(Christian Tan, violin) Mendelssohn, who wrote the piece in 1830, was a German composer, pianist, organist, and conductor. He is now considered as one of the most popular
composers of the Romantic era. Mendelssohns 200th birth anniversary in 2009 was celebrated all over the world.
Intermission
e Dvorak: Symphony No. 8 in G major, Op. 88 Bedrich Smetana Die Moldau
Czech composer Smetana was one of the most nationalistic composers of his time, even regarded as a hero in his homeland. A gifted pianist, he was a child
prodigy, giving his first performance at the age of six.
Allegro Con Brio
Adagio Smetanas Vltava (The Moldau) is part of the composers ode to his nation, Ma Vlast (My Fatherland), a cycle of six tone poems. Throughout the composition
of the cycle, Smetana had gone completely deaf. Each piece in the cycle depicts people and places in the Czech legends and history.
Allegretto Grazioso
Allegro ma non troppo The river Moldau is recreated in Smetanas tone poem. Through surging music, Smetana recreates vivid scenes along the riverbanks, the Moldaus clear
waters with sections called The two sources of the Moldau, with two flutes portraying the brooks that form the river; Woods; Hunt; Peasant wedding
that features native dance ditties; the folklore-rich Moonlight; Nymphs rounddance; the forceful Rapids of St. John; culminating in The Moldau flows
broadly onwards; Vysehrad, a triumphant ending depicting the Vysehrad, a rock-fortress that stands as the symbol of the Czech nation.

Though The Moldau was not as well-received as the other tone poems when it was first performed, it has since become the most popular piece in the cycle.
Antoio Vivaldi Violin Concerto in E-flat La Tempesta Di Mare
A renowned Venetian Baroque composer, violinist, and priest, also known as The Red Priest, Vivaldi composed over 500 concertos (230 for violin), as well
as operas, sonatas, chamber music and sacred music.
Vivaldi has long been inspired by nature, his most well-known works being the violin concertos collectively known as The Four Seasons which brilliantly
portray the atmosphere of each season.
La Tempesta Di Mare is part of the collection of concertos along with The Four Seasons. Again inspired by nature and the elements, the violin concerto
depicts the tempestuous sea.
The piece, for solo violin and strings, starts with an Allegro e Presto movement that is charged with energy and vivacity, showing off the soloists virtuosity
in many challenging passages. The second movement, Largo, is the calm before the storm with a melody that is both melancholic and graceful. Here, the
tension is established and developed towards the Presto finale which returns to the introductions energetic theme with both the soloist and the orchestra
coming together in a strong gale of music.
Antonin Dvorak Symphony No. 8 in G Major
Allegro con brio e Adagio e Allegretto grazioso e Allegro ma non troppo
Dvorak is one of the musicians who enjoyed a fair amount of success while he was living. With his career spanning throughout Europe and America, he was
and still is considered his countrys greatest composer of his time.
Already achieving what is considered as perfectly-structured symphonies with his 6th and 7th works, Dvorak found himself free from the pressures and
struggles of having to prove himself as a composer when he wrote his 8th symphony. A staunch nationalist, Dvorak is recorded to have said about himself:
In spite of the fact that I have moved about in the great world of music, I shall remain what I have always been - a simple Czech musician. This sentiment
is especially evident in his 8th symphony, which he was able to compose in his hometown of Vysoka. The symphony begins with a solemn, hymn-like
melody for cellos and violas a morning prayer, so to speak, as one can imagine the sun coming out and the birds, played by the flute, start singing their
birdsong. The birdsong is taken up by the woodwinds throughout the movement as the other instruments create the background of the lush environment
around them.
The adagio movement is a calm and subdued contrast to the opening movement, with a lyrical violin solo from which emerges again the folk songs which
are part of Dvoraks milieu.
The third movement begins with a sweeping melody, despite being a scherzo (which is translated as joke). The movement then ends in a light and lively
tone. The finale begins with a grand fanfare which flows into lively and colorful variations on a theme introduced by the cellos, leading to an exuberant
finish.
Joseph Esmilla started violin and music lessons at age five with his father Sergio Z. Esmilla,
Jr. and was also mentored by his fathers esteemed colleagues, Oscar C. Yatco and Basilio
Manalo. At 14, he was granted a scholarship at The Juilliard School where he eventually
received his Bachelors and Masters of Music degrees under the tutelage of Dorothy DeLay,
Masao Kawasaki and Jens Ellerman. While doing post-graduate work in violin and chamber
music with Felix Galimir at the Mannes College of Music, he won the concerto competition
and performed the Bruch G minor concerto with the Mannes Orchestra under the baton of
Yakov Kreizberg, which was later broadcasted by WQXR in New York City. Subsequently, he
pursued professional studies in violin and chamber music with Arnold Steinhardt and John
Dalley of the Guarneri Quartet. He participated in summer festivals and programs such as
Aspen, Interlochen, Dartington and the International Summer Academy at the Mozarteum
in Salzburg, Austria, where he was chosen to play the Tchaikovsky violin concerto for the
culminating concert with the New Orchestra of Boston.
