Welcome to tonights Denver Philharmonic Orchestra concert! With all the events, theatre, music and festivals that Denver has to offer, were honored you are spending your evening with us.

We hope to create a wonderful memory and feeling that stays

with you long after the music has ended, and sometimes even

before the music has begun.

Tonight, Ill be thinking about wise words from Henry David

Thoreau, who said, When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am

invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times,

and to the latest. Thoreau must have been to a DPO concert!

Listening to our passionate musicians fill this hall with music, we

hope that you see no foe, but instead find opportunities to

meet your neighbors, mingle with musicians, and take part in

the community offerings hosted by the DPO all season long!

Please, sit back, relax, silence (but do not put away) your phone

and experience the music! If you have any questions, or would

like to share your personal DPO story, please feel free to talk

with us: look for anyone with a blue name tag, or come and find

me we love getting to know all of you, and hope you will

continue to make the Denver Philharmonic Orchestra a part of

your story now and in the future!

DEAR FRIENDS,

Sincerely,

Jon Olafson

President of the Board, DPO

Happy Holidays!

We are so happy to

see you here tonight

with our DPO family!

JOY TO THE WORLDARR. BY MACK WILBERGThe familiar words to this holiday classic

were written in the early 1700s by re-

nowned hymn writer Isaac Watts. More

than a century later, Lowell Mason adapt-

ed and arranged music, likely Handels

Messiah, for Watts celebratory hymn. In

fact, it was the recitative Comfort Ye that

lent its sound to this festive piece.

Run time: 3 minutes

MASTERS IN THIS HALLARR. BY MARK HAYES In this lesser-known traditional carol, lyricist

William Morris describes the story of a poor

man sharing news of Christs birth with the

wealthy Masters in this Hall. The lyrics,

written in a distinctive rural dialect, are

set to a traditional French dance from the

opera Alcyone by Marin Marais.

Run time: 4 minutes

CHRISTMAS CONCERTOARCANGELO CORELLIPublished the year after Arcangelo

Corellis death, the Christmas Concerto

was originally commissioned by a Cardinal

Christmas, the concerto is structured as a

traditional sonata da chiesa, or church so-

nata, but instead of only four movements,

Corelli wrote six! Tonight, we will hear the

first, fourth and fifth movements.

Run Time: 8 minutes

O HOLY NIGHTARR. BY DAN GOELLEROn December 24, 1906, the radio waves,

which had only ever transmitted Morse

code, carried the sound of a violin playing

O Holy Night, making it the first song

ever broadcast on AM Radio! An enduring

carol, its story begins in France, when poet

Placide Cappeau was commissioned to

write a new work for Christmas mass in

1847. Cappeau then reached out to friend

and composer, Adolphe Adams, to set the

poem to music. It was an immediate hit!

Years later, after discovering that Cappeau

had joined the socialist movement and

Adams was not of Christian faith, the

church attempted to ban the song.

Despite the ban, the song was sung

whole-heartedly in France, and later made

its way into the American Christmas canon

after translation by Unitarian minister, John

Sullivan Dwight.

Run time: 6 minutes

I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVETH & HALLELUJAH CHORUS FROM MESSIAHGEORGE FRIDERIC HANDELOriginally an Easter Offering, Handels

Messiah is now recognizable as a mainstay

in the Christmas repertoire. In this piece,

unlike other oratorios by Handel, the

chorus propels the work forward with great

emotional impact and uplifting messages,

says Laurence Cummings, director of the

London Handel Orchestra. In fact, it is

rumored that King George II of England

that he rose to his feet, thus resulting in all

guests in his presence to rise to their feet,

TREPAK, DANCE OF THE SUGAR PLUM FAIRY & IN THE CHRISTMAS TREE FROM THE NUTCRACKERPYOTR ILYICH TCHAIKOVSKYCommissioned in 1891 by choreographer

Marius Petipa, The Nutcracker ballet pre-

miered in December of the following year.

One of the most identifiable sounds within

the work is the celeste, featured in Dance

of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Invented in 1896,

Tchaikovsky first heard the instrument

in Paris and quickly requested one for

himself, hoping to be the first composer

to feature the new instrument within a

full symphony. Indeed, upon hearing the

unmistakable tinkling celeste, listeners

around the globe conjure up images of

the delicate Sugar Plum Fairy as she pirou-

ettes en pointe.

Run time: 9 minutes

SLEIGH RIDELEROY ANDERSONJust hear those sleigh bells jingling in

Leroy Andersons musical depiction of

the wonderful wintery season. Percussion

and brass are featured playfully in this

popular piece to create the sensation of

horse steps on cobblestone, a coachmans

whip, and the whinnying of the horse itself.

Giddy up!

and hope that our hearts are filled with its

FROSTY THE SNOWMANFrosty the Snowman

Was a jolly happy soul

With a corncob pipe and a button nose

And two eyes made out of coal

Frosty the Snowman

Is a fairytale they say

He was made of snow

But the children know

How he came to life one day

There must have been some magic

In that old silk hat they found

For when they placed it on his head

He began to dance around. Oh,

Frosty the Snowman

Had to hurry on his way

But he waved goodbye

Saying dont you cry

Ill be back again some day

Thumpety thump thump


Look at Frosty go



Over the hills of snow

JOY TO THE WORLD!Joy to the world! the Lord is come;

Let earth receive her King;

Let every heart

prepare him room,

And heaven and nature sing,

And heaven and nature sing,

And heaven, and heaven, and nature sing.

Joy to the Earth! the Saviour reigns;

Let men their songs employ;

While fields and floods,

rocks, hills, and plains

Repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

CONCERT ETIQUETT E

BE COMFORTABLETheres no dress code. From jeans to

suits, youll see it all! Wear what youd

like youll fit in. We love you just the

way you are.

COUGHINGAhem Try to bury your cough in a loud

passage of music. If you cant, or you

begin to cough a lot, dont worry its

perfectly acceptable and appropriate to

quietly exit the concert hall. Remember to

unwrap cough drops before the concert so

you dont create crackling noises.

APPLAUSE 101In earlier times, audiences would routinely

applaud between movements to show

their joy for the music they just heard.

Then around the mid-19th century, it

became tradition to wait until the end of

the piece to clap, with the audience sitting

silent between movements.

At the DPO, we welcome both traditions.

If you prefer to wait for the end of a piece

to clap, please do. Some movements are

fiery and end in such a flare that you may

feel compelled to clap go for it! After

a quiet movement, you may want to enjoy

the feeling of transfixion and wait; theres

no need to applaud if youre not feelin it.

Regardless, we want you to feel comfort-

able and focus on the performance, not

confusing applause rules!

If you are attending your first (or 300th) classical music concert, below are some frequently asked questions to help make your experience more enjoyable.


CONCERT ETIQUETT E

SIT TIGHTThe rumors are true were pretty

informal. But we do ask that you sit tight

and quiet during the performance and

only get up between pieces or during in-

termission as to not distract the musicians

or concert-goers around you.

PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUTYoure welcome to bring a water bottle

into the hall, but remember Trail Rules

pack it in, pack it out. (This goes for

trash too!)

ELECTRONICSPlease turn the sound off on your cell

phones, pagers, and any other noise-

making device, including vibrate mode.

SOCIAL MEDIAFeel free to tweet, post to Facebook or

take photos without flash. Upload your

pics and comments online and be sure

HAVE FUN!Rules, rules, rules we know, it can be

overwhelming. The most important rule of

all is to have fun and enjoy yourself. And

then tell all your friends and come back

again and again!
