Name that tune

incident light
June 7, 2015
Diane Windeler

There was a deluge at the Tobin Center on June 5. The HEB Performance Hall was awash in sumptuous, lavishly orchestrated melody, courtesy of the San Antonio Symphony and maestro Sebastian Lang-Lessing. Small wonder, given the agenda of Edvard Grieg’s “Peer Gynt” Suites I and 2, Aleksandr Borodin’s glistening “Polovtsian Dances” and Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s cinematic “Scheherazade.”

If there were dissonances, even the briefest passing tone or minor second, they were essentially undiscernable. Well, there were a few in some of the angular material of “Rio Grande,” by Grammy award-winning composer Michael Daugherty (whose dramatic “Fire and Blood” violin concerto was performed here several years ago).The vividly evocative score about Texas was the last of 14 short works commissioned this season in honor of the orchestra’s 75th anniversary.
