PROGRAM NOTE
Leonard Bernstein's DIVERTIMENTO is an expression of his love affair w i t h the city o f his youth and its symphony orchestra, f o r whose centennial celebration in 1980 i t was written. I t is a nostalgic album filled w i t h affectionate memories o f growing up i n Boston, as well as a recollection o f hearing live symphonic music for the first time i n Symphony Hall, under the direction o f Arthur Fiedler (which may account for some o f the lightheartcd nature of this work). I t is a scries of vignettes based on two notes: B, for "Boston," and C, for "Centennial." This tiniest of musical atoms is used as the germ o f all the thematic ideas. Most of these generate brief dances of varying character, f r o m wistful to swaggering. Sennets and Tuckets (a Shakespearean stage direction for fanfares) was originally to have been the entire composition, but such an abundance o f fun-filled transformations flowing f r o m the B-C motive suggested themselves to the composer that he found himself with an embarrassment of riches. Nevertheless, the dimensions of the separate pieces are as modest as the motive itself, and while there are eight of them, each lasts only a minute or two. The work is replete with allusions to the repertoire with which Mr. Bernstein grew up in Symphony Hall, some quite obvious, others rather more secret messages for the orchestra players themselves. (To reveal one of these secrets, the opening section of the final March is a quiet meditation for three flutes, marked i n the score *'ln Memoriam," recalling the beloved conductors and orchestra members of the BSO who are no longer w i t h us. Like tlie original orchestral version, Clare Grundman's band transcription features various soloists and small groups within the band: a Waltz and Mazurka for woodwinds only, a. Blues for brass and percussion. - Jack Gottlieb
