Program Notes:
Carl Maria von Weber was perhaps more responsible than any other German composer for paving the way for a German-language opera style. Weber, a music critic, conductor, and pianist, sought to bring music to the burgeoning middle-class, especially music they could relate to and understand. His folk-legend operas were a deliberate turn from the lofty mythological stories of French and Italian operas. He influenced a whole generation of German composers, including Felix Mendelssohn and Richard Wagner.
The overtures to Weber's three greatest operas, Der Freischutz, Euryanthe, and Oberon, have become favorites of the concert-going public and are mainstays of the standard orchestra repertoire. The overture beings with a slow introduction (Adagio sostenuto), launcehd by a call from Oberon's magic horn. A bracing fff chord leads to the principal Allegro con fuco, featuring several melodies from the opera. Among them is Rezia's aria - "ocean! though mighty monster!" - which provides the basis for the overture's majestic conclusion.
