Notes
Karel Husa Czech-born Karel Husa studied music both in his native Prague and in Paris. He has had a long and distinguished career as a composer and conductor, as well as teaching many years at both Cornell University and Ithaca College. Although perhaps best known for his music for wind ensembles, including the modern classic, Music for Prague 1968, he is also a prolific composer of orchestral and chamber music. He has a long association with the Louisville Orchestra and the University of Louisville School of Music, and composed his ballet The Trojan Women for the opening of the new School of Music building at the University in 1980. In the last decade Music for Prague 1968, Smetana Fanfare, Les Couleurs Fauve, Concerto for Percussion and Wind Ensemble, The Trojan Women and many pieces of Husa's chamber music have been performed at the University of Louisville. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1969 for his String Quartet No. 3, and the Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition in 1993 for the Concerto for Violoncello and Orchestra. Concerto for Violoncello and Orchestra The Concerto for Violoncello and Orchestra was commissioned by the Frank Kerze, Jr. Fund for the University of Southern California School of Music, Daniel Lewis, and the USC Symphony. The work was completed in 1989, and on March 2, 1989, the premiere of four movements of the concerto (the Introduction, Recitative, Remembrance, and Hymn) was given in Pasadena, California, with cellist Lynn Harrell as soloist and the USC Symphony under the baton of Daniel Lewis. In it's definite form (with the completed Anecdote), the performance of the concerto took place at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. on November 16, 1991, by the same performers. In his original program notes, Husa writes: 'As a young student, I played the violin, but when I entered the Prague Conservatory in 1940, I was immediately exposed to the solo violoncello as my teacher, the important Czech composer Jaroslav Ridky, was composing his Second Concerto. There is a great tradition for both composition and solo performance of the cello not only including Dvorák, but composers such as Vorisek, Stamic, Myslivecek, Vranicky, and Kraft-all have written concertos for the instrument. After the war, I left Prague to pursue studies in Paris and had the chance to hear the French school and it's great cellists. Yet, until now, I have written for this five-octave range instrument only in my chamber and orchestral music. It was then a great pleasure to be invited to write a concerto for Lynn Harrell, whom I have admired for a long time. Because of the rich literature for the instrument, many sonorities, much of the technique, much of the highest ranges have already been explored (especially when we include the harmonic pitches, which can even extend the five-octave range).' Pastorale for String Orchestra Pastoral For String Orchestra was commissioned by the American String Teacher's Association for the 1980 ASTA National String Orchestra and first performed at the National Biennial Meeting of the Music Educators nation Conference (MENC) in Miami Beach, Florida, April 20, 1980. Karel Husa was the guest-conductor of the ASTA Orchestra. The work is of moderate difficulty and the musical material comes from Husa's early work, the Sonatina for Violin and Piano, composed in 1944 when Husa was still a student at the Conservatory of Music in Prague, Czech Republic, then Czechoslovakia. Though the works creative roots and musical materials stem from an earlier period of Husa's life, the composer brings a new, more mature perspective to those materials and to the shape, structural intention and expressive impact of their product. True to it's title, the work displays a lush, open mellowness full of expressive warmth, long breathed melodic lines and beautiful, uncluttered counterpoint. This clear and masterful writing for strings allows the music to unfold and conclude in one long, seam
