This full score presents Jubilee and Noël, the first two sketches from George Whitefield Chadwick’s Symphonic Sketches, written between 1895 and 1904. The complete work has four movements, each inspired by a scene depiction and accompanied by a bit of poetry intended to be printed opposite its title page.
The work premiered on February 2, 1908, with the Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Max Fiedler. Sketch No. 1, the jaunty Jubilee, calls for “No cool gray tones” but rather “the warmest red and green,/ A cornet and a tambourine,/ To paint my Jubilee!” Sketch No. 2, Noël, was written for the birth of Chadwick’s son; Noël is French for Christmas. The movement creates a feeling of serenity and homeyness and begins with an English horn solo reminiscent of the start of the second movement of Dvořák’s 9th Symphony.
