MUSIC FESTIY
47 BOC
The Guildford Philharmonic Orchestra has been an
important part of the local scene for nearly 50 years.
BOC'’s local pedigree is somewhat shorter, but the
company has a proud industrial heritage dating back to
1886.
BOC UK Gases, based in Guildford, is part of The BOC
Group, a public company with an annual turnover of
about £2.9 billion and operations in some 60 countries.
Welcome to Guildford 93, our second International Music
Festival, which runs from 5th to 27th March, and in which
tonight’s concert is the third event. Following the success of
the first one in 1991, and again under the patronage of Sir
Georg Solti, we feel most proud to present such a rich array
of fine music-making. Presented by the Guildford Borough
Council and the University of Surrey Music Department, it
is a fine demonstration of town-&-gown partnership,
supported by sponsorship without whose generosity such a
Festival would not be possible.
As in 1991, we have again given some attention to
composers who reach a significant anniversary — those for
1993 include Byrd, Britten and Bernstein, and, of course,
Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov whose works feature in
tonight’s concert. Again we are privileged to welcome somegreat international artists, such as Willard White, the
Labeque sisters (two pianos), the Grieg Trio, string
quartets from Paris and Harvard, as well as favourites such
as Demidenko and the Chilingirian String Quartet. New
figures — brilliant young players on the threshold of great
careers — are drawn from those who have recently won
awards at prestigious competitions. Contrast from music’s
mainstream is provided by such events as Japanese koto
music, The National Youth Jazz Orchestra, George Melly’s
jazz, and much else. There are also some fascinating
educational events, and the University is also actively par-
ticipating, not only in chamber music, choral music and
contemporary music, but also in seminars and in examples
of newly-devised choreography by the Dance Department.
One very special feature of this Festival is the series of three
Chopin recitals at Hatchlands, which (under the auspices of
the Cobbe Foundation) houses one of the world’s finest
collections of early pianos: the close of this Festival
becomes the beginning of an extended campaign, to restore
and preserve Chopin’s final recital piano (an 1848
Broadwood) to its former glory.
With such a wealth of concerts, it is as well to group certain
events into a pattern. You will notice, for instance, that
Saturday evenings (like tonight) are devoted to great
English choral works, Sunday afternoons to string quartets
(by Beethoven, Brahms, and Bartok), Sunday evenings to
jazz and “big band”, and Wednesdays to University
concerts and seminars.
Brochures, with full details of how to book, are widely
available. There is much for everybody to enjoy, and we
look forward to seeing you at many events.
Sebastian Forbes Artistic Director
The Group was founded on just one product, oxygen,
used by the medical profession and to produce limelight
for theatres. Since then, research and investment by
BOC on a global scale have continuously expanded the
range of industrial, medical and special gases and their
uses.
On hearing the company’s name most people think of
cylinders of oxygen and acetylene for use in welding and
cutting.
BOC’s range is much wider than this though and many
products are not supplied in cylinders at all, but are
delivered by road tanker in liquid form or direct to the
customer by pipeline from a BOC production plant.
Currently the fastest growing sector of the industrial
gases market is the supply of liquid nitrogen to the food
and brewing industries.
Much of the frozen food you buy has been frozen with
liquid nitrogen, and nitrogen, together with other BOC
gas mixtures, is also used in food packaging. Meanwhile
on the mechanical refrigeration front, the company is the
sole UK distributor of Suva, Du Pont’s environmentallyacceptable alternative to CFC refrigerants.
Ultra-high purity BOC gases are relied on increasingly by
the semiconductor industry, and other growth areas
include environmental protection and water treatment.
Two fast-growing businesses anticipating a surge in
demand as summer approaches are the balloon gas
division and BOC Sureflow — the latter providing a
complete cellar gas service to the licensed trade.
The company maintains its original links with medical
practice, supplying oxygen, nitrous oxide and Entonox (a
pain relieving mixture) to the NHS and domiciliary
oxygen via chemists.
BOC UK Gases and the senior management teams of its
sister businesses covering continental Europe, Africa and
the Indian sub-continent, are based at The Priestley
Centre, on The Surrey Research Park.
Located in a neighbouring building is BOC Process
Plants, which designs and manufactures cryogenic
process equipment. Further afield, but still in the local
area, BOC Distribution Services is based at Aldershot
and The BOC Group has its world HQ at Windlesham.
That, in outline, is BOC: a world class local business with
a distinguished past and an exciting future. BOC is keen
to maintain a fruitful relationship with the local
community and hopes that this brief profile has given you
a clearer view of our role and our capabilities.
GUILDFORD CHAMBER CHOIR
Principal Conductor: Peter Wright
The Guildford Chamber Choir was founded in 1980
and has a well-earned reputation for the high standard
of its singing and for performing lesser known works.
The choir has broadcast twice on BBC Radio 3 under
the direction of its principal conductor Peter Wright
and in 1991 was invited to perform Mozart’s Requiem
with
the
Guildford
Philharmonic
conducted by the late Sir Charles Groves.

Bass Baritone
Willard White’s consummate vocal and dramatic skills

The Guildford Philharmonic Choir was formed by
Guildford Borough in order to perform the major
choral repertoire with the Guildford Philharmonic
Orchestra. As well as performing well-known choral
works,
the
choir specializes
in
twentieth
century
British music and this has led to recordings of Gerald
Finzi’s ‘Intimations of Immortality’ with the Guildford
Philharmonic Orchestra and Patrick Hadley’s ‘The
Trees So High’ with the Philharmonia Orchestra’ both
recordings being conducted by Vernon Handley.
The choir is conducted by some of the most eminent
musicians, and as well as giving frequent concerts in
Guildford, the choir occasionally visits other British
cities.

Above all, Willard White has made the role of Porgy
his own and has sung in many premiere productions
especially at Glyndebourne under Simon Rattle and he
will lead the cast when this production is presented by
The Royal Opera next season. He has recorded the
role twice; with Lorin Maazel for Decca and with
Simon
Rattle for EMI,
a release which won the
Gramophone Opera of the Year award. Other
important roles include Leporello for Scottish Opera
and in Geneva, Boris in Shostakovich’s Lady Macbeth

Symphony No. 6 in B minor
(Pathetique)
Tchaikovsky 1840 — 1893
Adagio — Allegro non troppo
Allegro con grazia
Allegro molto vivace
Adagio lamento — Andante
The title of Tchaikovsky’s Pathetic Symphony, which
was written during the first half of 1893, was given it
after its first performance. It was composed during a
period of great mental tranquillity on the part of
Tchaikovsky. In his brother’s words, it was “an act of
exorcism whereby he cast out all the dark spirits that
had possessed him in the preceding years”.
Tchaikovsky never published a programme to the
music, but he allowed it to be known that he intended
to express certain personal emotions in the music
which he was unable to put into words. In a letter to a
friend, dated 23 February, 1893, Tchaikovsky said:
“On my way to Paris last December the idea for a new
symphony came to me, this time a symphony with a
programme, but a programme that will remain an
enigma to all.”
A Gulbenkian scholar at the Guildhall School of Music
and Drama in London, Brian went on to further his
studies in Munich and with Jascha Horenstein. In the
mid-70’s he won 2nd prizes in the Rupert Foundation
and Guido Cantelli Conducting competitions in
London and Milan, later assisting Andre Previn and
the LSO.
Winning great praise for his conducting of Berlioz and
Liszt at the “Proms” he followed this with tours of
Switzerland and Belgium with the BBC Symphony
Orchestra. In 1988, Brian conducted the BBCSO in
BBCTV’s acclaimed presentation of Stravinsky’s “Pulcinella” with the Ballet Rambert.
Brian has an exceptionally wide repertoire embracing
all aspects of orchestral and choral music. He has
conducted premieres of Robert Simpson (7th
Symphony-Royal Liverpool Philharmonic), Wilfred
Josephs and Havergal Brian Symphonies (BBC), UK
premieres of Lutoslawski and Penderecki and the first
“complete” performance of Wilhelm Furtwangler’s
3rd Symphony with the BBCSO.
In addition to his conducting, Brian is an avid broadcaster, regularly presenting the “Mainly for Pleasure”
programme on BBC Radio 3. He is also co-director of
the internationally well-known conducting course at
Canford Summer School of Music.
Brian Wright has conducted the Guildford Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra on many previous
occasions. He will appear again as guest conductor on
28 March with Frederick Kempf (BBC Young Musican
of the year 1992).
We are grateful to Brian Wright for undertaking
tonight’s concert which was to have been conducted by
the late Sir Charles Groves, the orchestra’s Principal
Conductor from 1986-1992.
However, in 1937, amongst Tchaikovsky’s papers at
his old home at Klin, a sheaf of music paper was
discovered with the following notes scribbled in pencil:
“The ultimate essence of the plan of the symphony is
Life. First part — all impulsive passion, confidence,
thirst for ac???ity. Must be short (Finale Death —result
of -collapse). Second part Love; third, disappointments; fourth ends dying away (also short)”. Professor
Gerald Abraham, in his book “On Russian Music”,
points out that this Russian draft does not quite agree
with the final version of the symphony, “but we can
hardly doubt that it is the embryonic plan of it, and that
this is the solution of the enigma.”
The first movement has two main themes; the
treatment of which alternates. Certainly, the first is
impulsive and passionate, but the second is a typically
expansive Tchaikovsky tune, surely a relative of the
one in the Romeo and Juliet Overture, and seems to be
a temporary oasis from the strivings of the first subject.
The second movement, written entirely in five-four
time, is idyllic and tender love, but never touches on
the stormier aspects of that condition. The third
movement, probably the most popular of all
Tchaikovsky’s symphonic movements, is a March and,
if disappointment was the basis of this movement,
surely in expressing it Tchaikovsky came nearer to
giving a picture of defiance and independence than of
the frustration of disappointment. The finale is every
bit as tragic as he intended it to be. The orchestra gives
a clear picture of sorrowful resignation. Despite the
tragic ending, the symphony has always been one of
the composer’s most popular works.
In his biography of his brother, Modeste Tchaikovsky
tells us that on the morning after the first performance
of the symphony, he suggested to Tchaikovsky that it
should be called the “Tragic Symphony”. ‘I left the
room before Peter had come to a decision. Suddenly,
the title “Pathetic” occurred to me. I went back into
he 5
the room — I remember it all as clearly as if it had
happened yesterday — and told Peter of my idea.
Splendid, Modi, Bravo. Pathetic, he cried. And in my
presence he wrote down the title it has born ever since.’

Belshazzar’s Feast
Walton 1902 - 1983
Belshazzar’s Feast, Walton’s Oratorio, with its text
the Bible selected and arranged by Osbert
Sitwell, is one of the outstanding landmarks in English
music of this century. Just as Holst’s “Hymn of Jesus”
took an entirely original view of religious musical
from
utterance, so did Walton in his conception of biblical
oratorio. The music was composed between 1929 and
1931, and probably because of its almost unrelieved
vitality, it sometimes gives the impression of being
brilliant but superficial in its setting of the story of the
writing on the wall. A careful examination of Walton’s

The music is scored for double mixed choir, baritone
solo, a very large orchestra, including an array of
percussion, and two brass ensembles placed to the
right and left of the conductor. First comes a trombone

dissonance by the male voices. Next the Exiles’
