The Soloist and the Violin Concerto. Is Isaac Stern. Our program opens with the Mendelssohn's overture with a double title the Hebrides or Fingal's Cave Mendelssohn made a tour of

Scotland in the summer of 18 29 when he was 20 years old and the trip included a visit to the Isle of stuff in the Hebrides where he saw the eerie Fingal's Cave. Its name derives from the legend attached to the cave concerning Fingal an ancient Celtic hero. Mendelson found the inspiration for his overture as he sat in a boat inside the cave tossing about on the water. Returning to the mainland. He immediately began composing and the resulting work was a superb piece of descriptive music. Suggesting the lapping of waves the cry of gulls. And the near ness and power of the ocean. Mendelssohn revised the overture several times before it was published and for this concert the orchestra plays the second version completed in 1830 to now my true self has just appeared on stage is walking toward the podium and in a moment will conduct the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra in the overture the Hebrides

We've heard the overture the Hebrides or Fingal's Cave Opus 26 by Mendelssohn the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra conducted by Max Rudolf. Next on our program as the Serenade number 9 in D Major known as The Post horn Serenade by Mozart. Mozart composed thirteen serenades. These works were written for a variety of informal occasions such as dinners or wedding receptions to be played either indoors or out. The Post horn serenade dates from seven thousand seventy nine. Post torn as a coiled brass instrument a kind of Bugle. And in Mozart's day it was blown by the driver of the mail coach to announce his arrival. The instrument was rarely used in our Castro music even in the eighteenth century. And why Mozart should have

chosen it for this work. Is not known. Today when the Serenade is played the post horn part is often played by a trumpet. But for this concert the original instrument will be used. There are seven movements in all. The sixth movement the minuet has two trios the first trio features of the five Teano are soprano recorder which is played by George Hambrecht the second trio here for the first time. The Post horn played by Eugene Lee here once again is back through all the conduct of the Cincinnati Symphony in the Serenade number nine in D major. The Post torn by Mozart. Thank.

He planned for a career as a violinist and went to Germany to study him one thousand twenty one. Remained there for 12 years and then decided in 1925 to devote his career to composition. By that time Scotius had written a number of original works. For four years he studied with Arnold Schoenberg and was regarded as a very promising young composer. And then came the Great Depression. Poverty forced him to return to Greece where he had to earn his living as a violinist. But he continued to compose although in complete isolation. Apparently he believed that his music would never be appreciated in his time or he didn't discuss it. Refused to even with his friends. Scott Godas died suddenly in 1949 having composed over 150 works. These are so varied in form style and technique that. He cannot be assigned to any school. Much of his music is a tonal or in freely shifting

tonalities. The Greek dances are one of the few works in which he used folk tunes. It's got caught us wrote thirty six Greek dances after he returned to Greece from Germany. Five of these dances composed in 1040 are related to various regions of Greece. Those dances we will hear on this program.
