Pr o g r a m Not e s
Brook Green Suite
Gustav Holst composed his work for strings, the Brook Green Suite, in 1933,
the year before his death. The composer dedicated the suite to the Junior
Orchestra of the St. Paul’s Girls’ School, where Holst had taught since 1905.
The suite, named for the area in Hammersmith near the school, is in three
movements, each displaying Holst’s lifelong affection for the folk music of both
his native England, and other countries as well.
The Faraway Place
The Faraway Place, by the award-winning American composer, William Hofeldt,
was commissioned in 2006 by the John Muir and Horace Mann Middle School
orchestras in Wausau, Wisconsin. The work radiates an affecting, nostalgic
lyricism throughout.
Overture to Semiramide
Semiramide, the final opera Gioachino Rossini composed for the Italian stage,
premiered at Venice’s Teatro La Fenice on February 3, 1823. The libretto, by
Gaetano Rossi, was based upon a tragedy by Voltaire. While the fortunes of
the opera have fluctuated, Semiramide’s glorious Overture, incorporating music
from the lyric drama, has maintained a constant presence in the concert hall. This
concert features Bob Lipton’s arrangement of the Overture for string orchestra.
Main Title from Star Wars
George Lucas’s Star Wars films are among the most successful in the history of
cinema. The riveting portrayals of adventures “a long time ago in a galaxy far,
far away . . . ” are the product of a remarkable collaboration of writing, acting,
directing, and production talent. The immense popularity of the Star Wars movies
is due in no small part to the soundtracks by the American composer and conductor,
John Williams. The Williams Star Wars music, with soaring melodies and brilliant
orchestration, are among the finest achievements in American cinema, worthy of
the grand tradition forged by such composers as Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Franz
Waxman, and Bernard Herrmann. This concert features the thrilling Main Title
from the inaugural movie in the series, Star Wars (1977).
Romeo and Juliet Overture-Fantasy
Composer Mily Balakirev (1837–1910) was the founder of a group of Russian
nationalist composers known as “The Five” or “Mighty Handful” (the other
members were Alexander Borodin, César Cui, Modest Mussorgsky, and Nikolai
Rimsky-Korsakov). In fall 1869, Balakirev suggested to Tchaikovsky that he
should attempt an orchestral depiction of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.
Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Overture-Fantasy is testament to a diligent (and
brilliant) craftsman who scrutinized his own works with a relentless objectivity
and perfectionism. Tchaikovsky revised his Romeo and Juliet numerous times.
It is the final, 1880 version that has become a favorite of concert audiences.
3
Romeo and Juliet opens with an extended slow-tempo introduction, featuring
a theme depicting the kindly Friar Laurence. Violent music, representing the
warring Montagues and Capulets, launches the principal fast-tempo section.
Muted violas and the English horn introduce Romeo and Juliet’s immortal “love
theme,” paired with an undulating motif in the muted violins. The development
and recapitulation of the themes resolve to the brooding final section, capped
by the forceful concluding bars.
Symphony No. 2 in B Minor
Alexander Borodin, a member of Mily Balakirev’s nationalist group of Russian
composers (see, Tchaikovsky, Romeo and Juliet, above), was a prominent
researcher and lecturer at the Medico-Surgical Academy in St. Petersburg. It’s
not surprising that Borodin’s academic schedule made composition difficult.
Borodin once confided to a friend: “I was never able to concentrate upon
composition except during my summer holiday, or when some ailment
compelled me to keep to my rooms.” Despite these obstacles, such works
as Borodin’s two symphonies, the two string quartets, his orchestral “Musical
Picture” In the Steppes of Central Asia, and the opera Prince Igor demonstrate
a genuine, individual talent for melody and instrumental colors.
In 1869, Russian critic Vladimir Stasov suggested to Borodin that he create
an opera based upon the early Russian epic poem, The Story of the Expedition
of Igor. Prince Igor takes place in Russia in 1185. Igor and his son Vladimir
attempt to defeat the Polovtsians, and their leader Khan Konchak, who are
marching against the city of Putivl. In the final act, Igor and his forces emerge
victorious.
During the same period that Borodin worked on Prince Igor, he composed
his Symphony No. 2. Stasov and many other commentators found the spirit
of Prince Igor in this purely orchestral work. Stasov noted that the opening
movement “recalls the chivalry of the ‘Bogatyrs (ancient Russian warriors),’
in the slow (third) movement, we discern the features of the bard, Bayan,
and in the Finale, we see heroic feasting and revelry to the sound of the gusli
(psaltery).”
The Symphony No. 2 is in four movements. The strings immediately present
the opening movement’s (Allegro) stern principal theme. While Borodin also
introduces contrasting lyrical material, the opening theme predominates. The
second movement Scherzo (Prestissimo) is in A–B–A form. The sprightly opening
section, featuring a kaleidoscope of orchestral colors, is followed by the more
relaxed and lyrical central Trio (Allegretto). A reprise of the Scherzo concludes
the movement. The slow-tempo third movement (Andante) is based upon the
haunting principal melody, first sung by the solo horn. The Finale (Allegro)
follows without pause. A brief introduction yields to the initial presentation by
the strings of the joyous principal theme. For the most part, the optimism and
vitality of the opening measures continue to the closing measures, capped by a
breathless Vivo dash to the finish.

E m o ry J un ior Ch a mb e r Orchestra
The Emory Junior Chamber Orchestra (EJCO) is a 55-piece string orchestra
composed of the top sixth- through ninth-grade musicians in the Atlanta area.
Now in its 10th season, the orchestra has received recognition for its musical
excellence and provides an exciting opportunity for young musicians. Students
benefit from weekly rehearsals, which include sectionals with professional
Atlanta-area musicians.
Georgia Lambros Ekonomou, conductor
Described by her colleagues as a musician who will energize
an ensemble like no other conductor, Georgia Lambros
Ekonomou brings excitement and love for music from the
podium that is truly amazing. The results of her work can be
seen in the students she teaches; she encourages them not
only to become better musicians, but better people as well.
Ekonomou has been a string educator/conductor for
38 years. Presently, she is on the orchestra faculty at The
Westminster Schools (Atlanta). She is the former director of orchestras at The
Paideia School (Atlanta), where she conducted the Paideia Chamber Orchestra
and the Paideia Junior Chamber Orchestra. Her teaching career began in the
Fulton County Schools (Atlanta). In 1980, Ekonomou became the director of
orchestras at The Lovett School (Atlanta). While there, the Lovett Chamber
Orchestra performed at the 1990 MENC National Conference in Washington,
D.C.; the 1997 Georgia Music Educators Association (GMEA) Conference in
Savannah; and the 1997 International Association of Jazz Educator’s Conference
in Atlanta. In 1991, Ekonomou was awarded The Lovett School’s “Woodward
Award” for excellence in teaching. Her groups consistently received superior
ratings at state and national competitions.
Ekonomou has served as assistant conductor for the Georgia Tech Orchestra,
the Atlanta Emory Orchestra, and the Georgia University Orchestra (the
combined orchestras of Georgia Tech and Georgia State University). During
the summers of 2014 and 2016, she conducted the Intermediate Symphony
Orchestra at the Interlochen Summer Arts Festival.
Her educational background includes a bachelor’s of music education from
Northwestern University. At Northwestern, she studied violin with Samuel
Magad (concertmaster of the Chicago Symphony) and she performed in the
Northwestern Chorus with Margaret Hillis (conductor/founder of the Chicago
Symphony Chorus). Following Northwestern, she received a master of music
education from Georgia State University.
A violinist, Ekonomou performs with the Atlanta Opera Orchestra and she
has performed with the Woman’s Jazz Orchestra of Los Angeles, the Atlanta
Ballet Orchestra, the Emory Chamber Players, and other ensembles throughout
the United States and Europe.

Ekonomou is a member of GMEA, the American String Teachers Association
(ASTA), and the National Association for Music Education (NAfME), and she has
served on the advisory committee for the Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic
and on the national membership committee for ASTA. She is active throughout
the United States as conductor, clinician, and adjudicator. In July 2016, she
was appointed Southern Division Representative to the NAfME Council for

E m o ry Yo u t h Sy mp h ony Orchestra
As one of the finest pre-college programs in the region, the Emory Youth
Symphony Orchestra (EYSO) supports the pedagogy of school directors and
private teachers while providing additional performance opportunities and
ensemble experience. In addition, all students and parents are offered the
opportunity for extensive pre-college counseling, assistance with college and
scholarship applications, and related endeavors. The orchestra is open to string,
wind, and percussion musicians from ninth through 12th grade.
The home of EYSO is the nationally renowned Emerson Concert Hall in the
world-class Schwartz Center for Performing Arts on Emory’s campus, where
the orchestra performs three concerts during the school year. Members receive
regular sectional instruction from Emory’s outstanding roster of artist affiliates,
which includes the Vega String Quartet and members of the Atlanta Symphony
Orchestra. In the 2009–2010 season, the orchestra was featured on the nationally
broadcast From the Top, National Public Radio’s program dedicated to the most
outstanding young musicians in the country. EYSO has also been featured at
Spivey Hall, performed with guest soloists from several major American symphony
orchestras, and has appeared in concert with Emory’s string quartet in residence,
the Vega String Quartet. In 2014, the orchestra began a regular tour cycle with
a performance at New York’s Lincoln Center attended by major donors and
supporters of the program, Donna and Marvin Schwartz and Ted Turner.
Richard Prior, conductor
Award-winning conductor and composer Richard Prior
holds the Edward Goodwin Scruggs Chair at Emory
University. As director of orchestral studies, he conducts the
Emory University Symphony Orchestra and the Emory Youth
Symphony Orchestra in addition to being the senior lecturer
in composition. Prior’s musical training began in his native
England, where he received degrees from Leeds and
Nottingham Universities. He has taught at several universities
and colleges in the United States and at St. Catherine’s College, Oxford
University as a visiting fellow in music.
Prior has led performances as a guest conductor with members of the
New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, Atlanta Symphony, Houston
Symphony, Montreal Symphony, Charlotte Symphony and the Minnesota
Orchestra. Internationally, he has appeared with the National Symphony of
Ukraine, the Odessa Philharmonic and the Cairo National Symphony, Egypt.
Reviews in the professional press cite his “stirring conviction,” “precision,” and
“stylishness and flexibility,” with the noted “meteoric rise” of ensembles under
his direction. A deeply committed music educator, Prior conducts and clinics
high school honor groups all over the country, including All State orchestras
and he has undertaken residencies at major schools of music.

Prior was music director and conductor of the Rome Symphony Orchestra
from 2008 to 2014, holding the Georgia Power Conducting Chair; in July
of 2014, he was appointed music director and conductor of the LaGrange
Symphony Orchestra.
Prior’s own music has been performed, recorded, and broadcast widely in
Europe and North America. Matt Haimovitz premiered Prior’s cello concerto in
October 2014 and said of the work “Prior’s music embraces a soaring lyricism,
cinematic in scope with a rich sense of orchestral colors. The cello writing is
wonderfully idiomatic, deeply satisfying for the cellist to play and interact with
the orchestra. This new concerto is a major contribution to the cello repertoire.”
The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (ASO) commissioned . . . of shadow
and light . . . (incantations for orchestra) in 2013. Subsequent critical review
called the work “forbidding and dramatic,” “stunning,” and “jubilant and
exuberant;” the piece identified Prior as “perhaps the most gifted of the Atlanta
composers,” citing his mastery of orchestration, lyricism, and musical drama.
In 2014, the ASO presented multiple performances of his Symphony No. 3
under the direction of Robert Spano—a work also featured at Northwestern
University and in Cairo, Egypt. Critical reviews in Atlanta called the work “a
major new symphony,” “always engaging,” and the soundscape “constantly
changing;” longtime Atlanta Journal-Constitution critic James Paulk wrote “.
. . it’s the best new work I’ve heard here. Prior is rapidly becoming Atlanta’s
preeminent composer.” Atlanta music critic William Ford wrote, “This is a
major work that is a triumph of integration, flow, emotion, and orchestration.”
Other recent premieres have included the Flute Concerto with renowned
flutist Jonathan Keeble, Call of the Sirens for flute and harp featured at the
National Harp Society’s 2016 national conference, String Quartets No. 1 and 2
with the Vega String Quartet, The Darkening Land with clarinet virtuoso Richard
Stoltzman, and the Pulitzer-nominated choral-orchestral work Stabat Mater,
the subject of a PBS televised broadcast. A winner of numerous awards for his
compositions and conducting, Prior received the 2008 Harvey Philips Award for
Excellence in Composition at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, the 2009
Emory University Winship Senior Faculty Award, and the 2011 Crystal Apple
Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Education.
