Notes for: August 14, 2012Its name notwithstanding, the Overture on Hebrew Themes, composed in 1919, is really a sextet for clarinet, string quartet and piano. Fifteen years after its composition, Prokofiev arranged the work for chamber orchestra, and today it is known in both versions.From 1918-1922, Prokofiev lived temporarily in the United States, a refugee from the Communist Revolution and the unsettled conditions it produced in Russia. In the fall of 1919, he was asked by a group of former classmates from the St. Petersburg Conservatory, then living as refugees in New York City, to write a piece for them based on Jewish themes.

Consisting of a string quartet, clarinet and piano, the group, called Zimro, was raising money through concerts of Jewish chamber music to establish a conservatory in Jerusalem.Since Prokofiev was not Jewish and had no knowledge of Jewish folk songs, Zimro gave him a collection of traditional Jewish melodies. He initially refused their request - he had never before used “borrowed” folk material. While glancing through the book, however, he was impressed by the songs and began improvising on the themes at the piano. In two days he had completed the score, and Zimro gave the successful first performance in New York in January 1920.The overture is based on two themes. The first is a playful, almost grotesque, dance tune, introduced and expanded by the clarinet over a thumping rhythmic accompaniment.

The second is a melancholy lament introduced by the cello high in its range; its introspective, improvised quality suggests a liturgical root. The first theme is briefly developed, and the themes are restated. These materials are, of course, seasoned by Prokofiev’s dry wit and gift for unusual tone color.Copyright © 2012 by Willard J.
