5:00 am THE JAZZ SPECTRUM

1:00 pm THE WARHORSE ORGY

WHRB is committed to broadcasting a wide variety of classical music, with an emphasis on great music rarely heard on the radio. But twice a year that philosophy is wholeheartedly ignored, and we present the finest in classical programming of extremely famous pieces: our Warhorse Orgy. Listen as we offer you some of the greatest and most well-known compositions in the history of music. As always, the classical fireworks will end to the tune of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 overture with Antal Dorati’s landmark Mercury Living Presence performance (for more on Dorati, see June 3 and 4).

10:00 pm THE KEITH FULLERTON WHITMAN ORGY

Somerville resident Keith Fullerton Whitman has described his work as showing his fascination with “hyper-programmed rhythms and concrète sounds, bleeding freak-out guitar, Beach-Boys style sweet harmony, eastern Euro-prog, vintage synth burbles, classic-era minimalism, early mainframe computer music, Fluxus-lineage borderline nonsense, complete and utter chaos, doomy chamber pop, and quiet melancholy.” Still not convinced? Several of his recent albums were even recorded on Harvard’s own collection of analog synthesizers; Whitman was allowed access while teaching an electronic music composition class here. Only thirty-two years old, Whitman has proven himself a prolific producer of electronic compositions (he’s made successful forays into experimental video as well), releasing music not only under the his birthname and renowned Hrvatski drill’n’bass alias, but under the monikers DJ Hekla, Gai/Jin, Anonymous, ASCIII, The Liver Sadness, and The Finger Lakes. The KFW/Hrvatski orgy will cover the broad range Whitman has achieved in his career thus far and feature live performances and collaborations in addition to studio work.

9:00 am THE TOMÁS LUIS DE VICTORIA ORGY

Tomás Luis de Victoria, born in 1548 in Avia, Spain, was the most famous composer of the 16th century in Spain, and is widely considered to be second only to Palestrina as a composer of sacred polyphony at the time. In 1564, he joined the monastery in Rome founded by St. Ignatius Loyola as part of the fight against Lutheranism. In 1575, he was ordained a priest after a period of service at the monastery as maestro di cappella. He returned to Spain in 1586 in the service of Empress Maria, who was entering the convent of Descalzas Reales in Madrid. Victoria remained at the convent until his death on 20 August 1611, serving as priest, composer, choirmaster and organist.

6:00 am THE YOUNG PIANISTS ORGY

In the last fifteen years, a number of staggeringly talented young pianists have emerged on the jazz scene. Some of these players are still in incubation periods as sidemen with prominent, established artists, and others seem to have emerged fully formed, producing major trio and solo outings in their early careers. They are a diverse group, embracing influences as wide-ranging as hip-hop and classical music, French folk songs and Afro-Cuban music, but they have in common an amazing technical command of their instrument and a forward-looking approach to jazz that has earned them the respect of listeners and critics. We bring you a selection of music from these young pianists. Featured artists include Jason Moran, Robert Glasper, Benny Green, Jacky Terrasson, Geoffrey Keezer, and Brad Mehldau, among others.

1:00 pm THE PAUL SACHER ORGY

Born April 28, 1906 (died May 26, 1999), Paul Sacher was an important force in 20th Century and early music. In 1933 he founded the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, which was at the forefront of the revival of mastery in the performance of early music, and later the Zürich Collegium Musicum, which he conducted in a wide range of repertory. At the same time, he befriended and ultimately commissioned works from important composers of the day, including Stravinsky, Hindemith, Bartók, Strauss, Martin, and, going well into the future, Britten, Tippett, Boulez, Henze, and many, many others. Sacher was able to realize his extraordinary dreams thanks to an extraordinary marriage to a rich widow that brought him holdings worth millions (later, billions). We will ignore his personal life and pay tribute to his vision with commissioned works, primarily in recordings he conducts (unless otherwise indicated), plus examples of his way with “normal” repertory and a selection of solo cello pieces written for his 70th birthday.

Blues artists have always adapted the music of their fellow artists, creating a canon of traditional tunes that every proven bluesman has covered at some point in his career. This orgy presents twelve of the most famous and influential of these blues songs, examining the ways each song has changed over the years and how different artists have influenced these old standards. During the orgy, see www.whrb.org/blues for more information.

8:00 am THE YOUNG PIANISTS ORGY (cont.)

1:00 pm THE THOMAS LINLEY, JR. ORGY

A celebration of the other gifted young composer born in 1756 whose life was cut off at an early age — and he was a friend of Mozart’s. Thomas Linley, Jr. (1756-78) wrote impressive music in his youth and would probably have been an outstanding composer of the classical period had it not been for a boating accident that took his life at the age of 22. Mozart in particular recognized a fine talent, but also a bright young contemporary whose friendship meant a great deal to him. In Linley, Mozart found someone his own age who could understand him and talk with him on his own level, and the loss to Mozart of Linley was not insignificant.

We begin with music by Thomas Linley, Sr. (1732-95), and by the youngest of the musical Linleys, William (1771-1835).

Thomas, Sr.: Let me, careless and unthoughtful lying; The Scholars (Oiseau-Lyre LP)

6:00 pm THE GUIDO CANTELLI ORGY, PART I

The life of Guido Cantelli (1920-1956) is haunted by the horrific plane crash 50 years ago that cut short the emerging career of a wonderful musician. Yet from his brief career came astonishing performances that remain breathtaking in their depth and power today. He brought precision and colour both to the new (Bartók, Stravinsky, Hindemith) and the old (Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms), but never forgot the beauty of melody and engaged the music with a vibrant energy that was truly special. In memory of a conductor who gave us so much, we present this two part tribute today and tomorrow.

12:00 am THE SOULSISTAS ORGY

Hip Hop has long been seen as an art form inspired and dominated by men. This grows out of the inaccurate view that its main predecessor, funk, was mainly a male genre. While no one disputes that James Brown is the father of soul and a revered figure for rap artists, we all know the mother truly rules the household; and in funk, there are far too many important women to count. There would be no soul (or life itself) were it not for the females of funk, who have both created and inspired many of your favorite tunes.

11:00 pm BOSTON’S HIP-HOP SCENE: THE LEAST KNOWN UNKNOWN

Not only is Boston virtually absent from the mainstream rap radar, but it is not much more than a little blip in the underground hip-hop radar. Is Boston hip-hop D.O.A? Not at all. Running underneath the streets like the subway is a thriving underground hip-hop culture waiting to be discovered. The Darker Side presents an orgy of discovery, searching the depths of Boston for artists known and unknown, signed and unsigned, rookies and veterans. Listen to Boston hip-hop emerge as members of the scene offer their music and thoughts to the world.

5:00 am THE DAVE HOLLAND ORGY

Bassist Dave Holland has provided the backbone for many of the greatest jazz recordings of the last quarter-century. From his beginnings in Miles Davis’ seminal fusion groups to forays into free jazz with greats such as Anthony Braxton, Holland has left his mark on nearly every major genre in recent jazz history. Now the leader of two pioneering modern jazz groups, Holland continues to innovate on a nightly basis.

We trace the development of his musical and compositional styles over a 35-year period, beginning with staples of the fusion catalog such as Miles Davis’s Filles de Kilamanjaro and In a Silent Way, continuing with avant-jazz classics from Sam Rivers and Anthony Braxton, and culminating with selections from Holland’s own quintet and big band.

11:00 am MEMORIAL CHURCH SERVICE

Preacher: The Baroness Neuberger, DBE, Member of the House of Lords. Music includes Psalm 150 of Ernani Aguiar and “The Peace of Wild Things” by Cynthia Powell.

11:00 am THE WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART ORGY

The name and the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (b. Salzburg, January 27, 1756; d. Vienna, December 5, 1791) have commanded the pinnacle of classical music for over two centuries, sharing the widest glory perhaps only with Beethoven. This year the world celebrates the 250th anniversary of Mozart’s birth, but WHRB’s Mozart Orgy is to our knowledge the only presentation of virtually every note of his music, and in chronological order. Again to our knowledge, this has only been done twice before anywhere in the world, by WHRB, in 1986 and 1991 (the last “Mozart Year”).

Some will dip in and out of our around-the-clock traversal of Mozart’s life and music, looking for favorite works, while many others will use this rare experience to attempt to absorb and understand the development and achievement of this astonishing composer. From the very earliest pieces, excercises set him by his father, to the amazing craft demonstrated within a very few years, the captivating individuality emerging in his teens, the deepening of expression in his twenties, and finally the sublimely rich and often profound creations of his last years, Mozart left us hundreds of works that give us delight, joy, and some tears even today. And there is always the “What if?” What even greater expression of humanity might Mozart have shown us had he lived beyond the age of 35.

The Mozart Orgy is, in the fullest sense, a product first of many decades of this station’s attention to his music, including substantial surveys done before the virtually complete offering of 1986, and second of more than two centuries of the work of scholars who loved both the music and the man. During the course of the Mozart Orgy, we will hear, including fragments and variants, over 700 pieces of music. Scholars continue to discover, to certify, and even to decertify music, and so we cannot claim the final word with this presentation, only the closest it is currently possible to come.

We follow the chronological ordering originally begun by Ludwig Ritter von Köchel in his Chronological-Thematic Catalogue and continued by Mozart specialists over the years. Occasionally you will see a Köchel number that looks quite out of sequence, which is because of subsequent redating. Listings below give the familiar original Köchel numbers, with revisions (mostly from the Sixth Edition Köchel, but some later) in parentheses. We occasionally move a work a bit out of sequence for accessibility of listening, but a few favorite works will be at less convenient times, unavoidable in such a massive project as this.

We also interrupt the chronological sequence several times for special sections of historical recordings, cadenzas, aria variants, works only partly by Mozart, and the somewhat foggy area of disputed, doubted, and spurious works.

In preparing this program, we have drawn on much assistance in the field of Mozart over the years from some of the finest Mozart scholars of the day, Professor Neal Zaslaw in 1986, Professors Christoph Wolff for many projects (especially Bach and Mozart), and for decades of help with Mozart, Bach, and much else, Professor Robert Levin (producer of two Mozart Orgies himself in the 1960’s). Professor Levin’s essay outlines many of the problems we have had to face. To them and to many others we are grateful.
