“SCHOENBERG'S TRANSFIGURED NIGHT”
The Rosetta Music Society
Scott O’Neil, conductor and music director
Musicians from the Colorado Symphony Orchestra:
Rachel Segal & Allegra Wermuth, violins
Catherine Beeson & Helen McDermott, violas
Silver Ainomäe & Thomas Heinrich, cellos
This second of three programs will feature Arnold Schoenberg’s Transfigured Night, a string sextet
in one movement. Regarded as Schoenberg’s earliest important work, it was written in a state of
heightened romance and passion within three weeks of meeting his future wife, Mathilde von Zemlinsky
(the sister of Schoenberg's teacher Alexander von Zemlinsky).
Transfigured Night truly straddles the 19th and 20th centuries, as it was composed in 1899, but due to a conflict with the Vienna Music Society it was not premiered until 1902. Though Arnold Schoenberg is better-known as the father of atonality, this work is the descendant of Wagner, Brahms, and Strauss, not a precursor to 20th-century dissonance. Come and explore Schoenberg’s romantic masterpiece and the poem which inspired it by Richard Dehmel. And…we promise you’ll be home in time for the Super Bowl!

“VIVA LA VIOLA!”
Matthew Dane, viola
Jonathan Leathwood, guitar
BACH: Suite in G Major, BWV 1007
SCHUBERT: Sonata in A Minor "Arpeggione", D. 821
IZNAOLA: Three Little Tales
BIBERIAN: Folklore III (1994)
A unique opportunity to hear the lovely and mellow viola take center stage, accompanied by guitar!
The first two program selections are monuments of their respective eras. The Schubert performance will be particularly interesting because the piano part has been transcribed by Jonathan Leathwood for guitar- an instrument with which Schubert was acquainted and which he may have even used in composing this work. The final two selections, the first of which was composed by well-known DU faculty guitarist/composer Ricardo Iznaola, are based on "folk story" themes.
The guest artists will provide commentary in addition to their performance.

“MUSIC FROM PULCINELLA” To see the poster designed for this concert, click below
The Rosetta Music Society
Scott O’Neil, conductor
Musicians from the Colorado Symphony Orchestra
Stravinsky’s famous ballet suite based on an 18th-century play and character originating from “Commedia dell’arte”.
Celebrate Mother’s Day with Englewood Arts Presents! This closing concert of the 2009-10 season will feature the third of three programs by the Rosetta Music Society programs in a performance of Stravinsky’s Suite from Pulcinella.
After having composed The Rite of Spring, Stravinsky was rightly considered one of the most progressive composers of the early twentieth century and one of the greatest orchestrators ever. His interest in early music, however, was piqued when Diaghilev approached him about doing a modern adaptation of music originally composed by the Baroque composer, Giovanni Pergolesi – or so they thought.
Hear, see, and interact with a performance that explores what happens when a modern master orchestrator designs new clothing for the themes of an old, master melodist – when random arias and trio sonatas become Pulcinella. When does it cease to be Pergolesi, and when does it become Stravinsky…or does it? Come hear the Rosetta Music Society play the old and the new side-by-side, and decide for yourself!
