April 27-28: The Promise of Spring
Chopin Piano Concerto No. 1 in in E Minor, op. 11
Michael Cheung, piano;
Amateur Pianists International Winner
Blumine
Symphony No. 3 in C, op. 52
Promise abounds with pianist Michael Cheung, 2011 winner
of the Amateur Pianists International competition, and
Chopin’s First Piano Concerto. Mahler’s “Blumine,” written as
part of his First Symphony and later discarded to conform to
traditional four-movement form, gets a rare performance. The
season ends with the neo-Classical, joyous, and triumphant
strains of Sibelius’ Third Symphony—and unusual side of the
Finnish composer at a pivotal moment in his creative development

Featured Artists
Hausmusik is a Colorado Springs treasure. Formed
in 1992 by would-be audience members to fulfill the
desire for evenings of socializing and chamber music
in an intimate setting, it has been pleasing its faithful
audience for 21 years. Though the members of the
string quartet have changed over time, we like to say
our current roster Rebecca Lee and Cynthia Robinson,
violins, Sarah Richardson, viola and Jennifer Yopp,
cello, is the best. The skill with which they play,
spurred on by the enthusiasm with which they are
received, makes for a uniquely pleasurable musical
experience for audience and players alike. Hausmusik
gives four sets of performances every year in Woodland Park and Colorado Springs, often adding
a fifth musician to the string quartet to broaden their offerings. Concert-goers enjoy a reception
before the concert, a performance which includes more than the usual amount of interaction between
performers and audience, and a time for socializing after the performance.

bending of notes. The strings provide rhythmic
counterpoint, while two percussionists play
tuned crystal glasses and wind chimes. After
a dramatic cello solo, the third movement,
entitled “Card,” unfolds like a deck of tarot
cards, shuffled and spread across the table. The
movement ends in an exciting swirl of eastern
intrigue and relentless tambourine rhythms.
About Michael Daugherty: Michael Daugherty
is one of the most frequently commissioned,
programmed, and recorded composers on the
American concert music scene today, hailed by
The Times (UK) as “a master icon maker” with a
“maverick imagination, fearless structural sense
and meticulous ear.”
Born to a musical family in Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, on April 28, 1954, Daugherty
was immersed in music from a young age,
focusing his energies on the piano. He would
study composition and jazz at the University of
North Texas, the Manhattan School, and Yale
University, with strong influences from Barber,
Wuorinen, Babbitt, and Boulez. A Fulbright
Fellowship would allow him to move to Paris
to study computer music at IRCAM in 1979 –
1980. He has since served on the faculties at
the Oberlin Conservatory and the University of
Michigan.
Daugherty first came to international
attention when the Baltimore Symphony
Orchestra performed his Metropolis Symphony
at Carnegie Hall in 1994. Since that time,
Daugherty’s music has made him one of the ten
most performed living American composers.
Overview: Michael Daugherty
Born: April 25,1954, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa
Work Composed: 2004
Why It Matters: One of the most popular composers
of our time, Daugherty has made music for small
orchestra an important part of his output. Advised
by Leonard Bernstein to incorporate elements of
pop music, Daugherty’s
sound has a fun and edgy
quality that is thoroughly
modern and American.
Tell My Fortune (2004)
was commissioned for
the ProMusica Chamber
Orchestra of Columbus, Ohio, to commemorate
the orchestra’s 25th Anniversary and is dedicated
to Barbara K. Fergus, Loann W. Crane, and
the National Endowment for the Arts in
appreciation of their generous sponsorship. The
work was premiered by the ProMusica Chamber
Orchestra under the direction of Timothy
Russell on April 3 and 4, 2004 at the Southern
Theatre in Columbus, Ohio.
Tell My Fortune is a concerto for
orchestra, which visits the dark world of gypsies
and their methods of fortune telling: reading
palms, tarot cards and gazing into crystal balls.
In the first movement, entitled “Palm,” the lines,
marks, and patterns of a hand are read as though
it were a musical staff. Mysterious fanfares and
melodies are framed by chimes, sleigh bells, water
gong, and bowed vibraphone. “Crystal” features
the flute and alto flute in a haunting duet of
extended flute techniques such as fluttering and

Program Notes, continued
Ernest Bloch
Concerto Grosso No. 2
Baroque, and its overall concept unique
and original. Though overshadowed by the
Concerto Grosso No. 1, the piece has remained
a part of the concert repertoire and is one of
the few pieces available to feature a string
quartet in a solo capacity with orchestra.
About Ernest Bloch: Swiss composer Ernest
Bloch (1880 – 1959) began his musical
studies on the violin at age nine, and started
composing soon afterward. After intensive
study at the conservatory on Brussels
(including studies with violinist and composer
Eugène Ysaÿe) he began a period of moving
between major musical centers in Europe to
study with leading composers before returning
to Brussels in 1903. He moved to the United
States in 1916, becoming an American citizen
in 1924. In 1920, he founded the Cleveland
Institute of Music and moved on to lead
the San Francisco Conservatory of Music in
1925, a post which he also held for only five
years. In 1941, he moved to Agate Beach,
Oregon, a small coastal community, and lived
there happily and productively for the rest of
his life.
Bloch followed in the footsteps of the
German Romantic school, and many of his
early works reveal obvious nods to Richard
Strauss, but he also deeply admired Claude
Debussy. With these diverse influences, he
would develop a unique, personal style, fusing
it with Jewish liturgical and folk music in his
later works.
Overview: Ernest Bloch
Born: July 24, 1880, in Geneva
Died: July 15, 1959, in Portland, Oregon
Work Composed: 1952
Why It Matters: Despite the popularity of string
quartets in chamber music, there are very few pieces
that feature string quartet with
orchestra.
Bloch’s Concerto
Grosso No. 2 is one of the best.
The theory of atonality in itself
is an anomaly where genuine
music is concerned—a theory,
frankly, as impractical as it is
fundamentally stupid.—Ernest Bloch, to his
students at the Cleveland Institute of Music
Bloch’s style of composition was
decidedly traditional, a reaction against
atonality and the avante garde in an age
when innovation was almost more important
than quality. When he adopted the Baroque
concerto grosso form for his Concerto Grosso
No. 1 in 1925, his students were initially
skeptical … until they heard the piece, which
is now regarded as one of the greatest pieces
for strings of the twentieth century. Bloch
would follow up on this idea with his Concerto
Grosso No. 2 in 1952. Discarding the solo
piano from the first concerto, Bloch opted to
write for solo string quartet and strings. The
piece was premiered by the BBC Symphony
Orchestra on April 11, 1953, conducted by
Sir Malcolm Sargent. As with all of Bloch’s
music, the piece is so eclectic that it is very
hard to classify. Its harmonic language is
essentially late Romantic, its form and genre

Program Notes, continued
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Symphony No. 36 in C Major,
K.425 “Linz”
took place on November 4, 1783, and was a
huge success for Mozart and the little town
of Linz. The piece is notable for the lack of
flutes from the usual Classical orchestra and
because every movement except the minuet is
in sonata form.
About Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Mozart
showed such a prodigious talent for music
in his early childhood that his father, also a
composer, dropped all other ambitions and
devoted himself to educating the boy and
exhibiting his accomplishments. Between
ages six and fifteen, Mozart was on tour over
half the time. By 1762, he was a virtuoso on
the clavier—an early keyboard instrument
and predecessor of the piano—and soon
became a good organist and violinist as well.
He produced his first minuets at the age of six,
and his first symphony just before his ninth
birthday, his first oratorio at eleven, and his
first opera at twelve. His final output would
total more than 600 compositions. Much has
already been said and studied in the popular
media about Mozart’s roguish lifestyle and
apprehension of conformity. It was this
aspect of his personality that never won him
the support of royalty or the church, which,
at that time, was critical to any composer’s
survival. As such, Mozart died young, ill,
poor, and relatively unappreciated … only
to become the mostly widely acknowledged
orchestral composer in history.
Overview: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Born: January 27, 1756, in Salzburg
Died: December 5, 1791, in Vienna
Work Composed: November, 1783
Why It Matters: Mozart’s Linz Symphony, written
in just four days, is a brilliant example of the
composer’s ability to write quickly, clearly, concisely,
and with a steady flow of good ideas. With three of
the four movements in sonata form, this is also an
unusual structural symphony for Mozart. This is a
key look at Mozart’s symphonic style before his final
four symphonies, which are considered his highest
symphonic achievement
and a new direction in
symphonic writing.
I declare to you before
God, and as an honest
man, that your son is the
greatest composer I know, either personally or by
name. –Joseph Haydn, to Leopold Mozart.
On his return trip from Vienna
to Salzburg in late 1783, Mozart stopped
in the Austrian town of Linz. He had no
engagements scheduled and no intention to
make any contacts, but when word spread that
the great composer was in town, the people
of Linz went into action. The local court
immediately contacted Mozart and asked him
to give a concert, so Mozart decided to stay a
few days. He decided that a new symphony
for the town of Linz would be the perfect
centerpiece for the concert, and composed his
Symphony No. 36 in C Major, K. 425, “Linz,”
in just four days. The premiere in Linz
