LEONARD BERNSTEIN SLAVA! A Concert Overture Transcribed for Symphonic Band by CLARE GRUNDMAN Ze oe 2 Full Score REINALDO DOS SANTOS ARQUIVO Ni?i { i PROGRAM NOTES, When Mstisay Rostropovich (“Slava” to his friends) invited Leonard Bemstein to help him launch his inaugural concerts as Music Director of the National Symphony Orchestra, he also asked him to write a rousing new opening piece for the festivities. This Overture is the result, and the world premiere took place on October 11, 1977 with Rostropovich conducting his orchestra at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D. C. ‘The first theme of SLAVAL is a vaudevillian razz-ma-tazz. tune filled with side-slipping modu- lations and sliding trombones. Theme two, which prominently features the electric guitar, tune in 7/8 time. A very brief kind of development section follows, after which the two themes recur in reverse order. Near the end they are combined with a quotation (proclaimed by the ubiquitous trombones) from the ‘Coronation Scene’ of Moussorgsky’s Boris Goudonov, where the chorus sings the Russian word “lava!” meaning “glory!” In this way, of course, the composer is paying an extra four-bar homage to his friend Slava Rostro- povich, to whom this Overture is fondly dedicated, — Jack Gottlieb SUGGESTIONS TO THE CONDUCTOR ‘The trumpet and trombone solos in measures $7—44 and 173—180 should be played with wawa mutes in old vaudeville style, The solos in measures 17~22 should be played with growl effect (using plunger with short straight mute (pixy) or plunger alone — both with flutter-tongue on grow! notes). If some of the sixteenth-note passages are difficult for certain players, divisi arrangements tree ae In measures 80 through 95 the melody should be played by two instruments, preferably elec- tric guitar and soprano saxophone. In the absence of these instruments, English horn (or oboe) may be substituted for electric guitar and alto saxophone for soprano saxophone. In measures 96 through 109 the Ist cornet part is preferably to be played in unison. However, for ease of execution, an optional divisi arrangement is provided. — Clare Grundman REINALDO DOS SANTOS ARQUIVG Dataomeze? g apt. Suton st, en. m. 8.105Con oma.‘. sp.
