San Francisco Conservatory of Music Orchestra performs Mendelssohn's The Hebrides, conducted by Scott Sandmeier. To learn more about SFCM's orchestra program, visithttp://bit.ly/2WPxZ1R
Notes:
The inspiration for The Hebrides overture came to Felix Mendelssohn while he was visiting the eponymous archipelago located off the west coast of Scotland during a walking tour with his friend Karl Klingemann. The two travelers may have been attracted to the remote islands by James MacPherson's infamous "translations" of ancient Gaelic epics concerning the hero Fingal. Although the poems had been debunked as eighteenth-century concoctions from MacPherson's own hand, they remained internationally popular and exerted tremendous influence on the Romantic Movement.

Fingal's Cave
Some time last year I was wasting time on Facebook when I saw a post '25 Places You Must Visit in the UK Before You Die'. It turned out I'd visited a few of them already! But what was considered the number 1 place to visit......? Fingal's Cave of course!
I made it my mission to get to Staffa Island, (which from London is no small task!). It was breathtaking, it was beautiful, it was intense. There was some deep stoic charm in these hexagonal pillars, they burst from the earth millions of years ago and remain unchanged.
I love this stuff so give it a thumbs up if you like it too!

Fingal's Cave - Island of Staffa
Fingal's Cave is a sea cave on the island of Staffa in the Inner Hebrides. It is formed from hexagonally-jointed basalt columns similar to the Giant's Causeway in Ireland. The Giant's Causeway and Fingal's Cave were both formed by the same lava flow 60 million years ago. In Gaelic mythology Fionn mac Cumhaill, a giant, constructed a causeway from Ireland to Scotland out basalt colums. Fionn built it to allow a Scottish giant, Benandonner, come and fight him. After deceiving Benandonner and bighting off his finger of power Fionn chased him back to Scotland but Benandonner ran so hard the causewasy collapsed behind him. Fionn took a sod of earth, forming Lough Neagh, and threw it after Benandonner but it fell in the Irish sea to form the Isle of Man.

MENDELSSOHN The Hebrides Overture (Op. 26) Score and Analysis
“Felix Mendelssohn's concert overture “The Hebrides” was composed in 1830, revised in 1832, and published the next year as his Op. 26. Some consider it an early tone poem.
It was inspired by one of Mendelssohn's trips to the British Isles, specifically an 1829 excursion to the Scottish island of Staffa, with its basalt sea cave known as Fingal's Cave. It is not known whether Mendelssohn set foot on the island, the cave being best visible from the water, but the composer reported that he immediately jotted down the opening theme for his composition. He at first called the work “To the Lonely Island” or “Zur einsamen Insel”, but then settled on the present title. However, in 1834, the year after the first publication, Breitkopf & Härtel issued an edition with the name “Fingalshöhle” (“Finga...

Notes:
The inspiration for The Hebrides overture came to Felix Mendelssohn while he was visiting the eponymous archipelago located off the west coast of Scotland during a walking tour with his friend Karl Klingemann. The two travelers may have been attracted to the remote islands by James MacPherson's infamous "translations" of ancient Gaelic epics concerning the hero Fingal. Although the poems had been debunked as eighteenth-century concoctions from MacPherson's own hand, they remained internationally popular and exerted tremendous influence on the Romantic Movement. The trip was part of Mendelssohn's travels during the years 1829 to 1832 that formed his Grand Tour, a common excursion taken by young men of prominent families to gain cultural literacy. Documentation of such journeys often consisted of letters home or drawings and watercolor paintings; Mendelssohn left all of these plus concert music.
Unlike his overtures A Midsummer Night's Dream and Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage, The Hebrides was not inspired by a text, but rather by a landscape, an atmosphere. The first sketch Mendelssohn made of his impressions of the Hebrides was literally that—a pen and ink drawing dated August 7, 1829. A letter home bearing the same date and titled "On a Hebridean Island" stated "in order to make you realize how extraordinarily the Hebrides have affected me, the following came into my mind there." Mendelssohn attached a sketch in piano reduction of the first twenty-one bars of the piece, indicating both scoring and dynamics, in almost exactly final form.
Mendelssohn completed and revised the piece in Italy in 1830. He revised it once more in England and France in 1832; Breitkopf and Härtel published the overture in parts in 1834 and full score in 1835. With each new revision and publication came a variation on the title: Mendelssohn called the work The Hebrides, Overture to the Lonely Island, Overture to the Isles of Fingal, Overture to the Hebrides, and Fingal's Cave.
Mendelssohn and Klingemann did not visit the famous "melodious" sea cave until August 8, 1829, a day after Mendelssohn's initial inspiration. However, Mendelssohn's eventual inclusion of the cave in the title inspired his publishers, critics and the public more than the mere idea of the Hebrides themselves. In an 1834 review, the German music periodical Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung wrote, "the title 'zu den Hebriden' is thus far too general ... in listening to this music one should think of Staffa and its famous cave. All of the music bears witness to its simple greatness."
The evolution of the work's title suggests that Mendelssohn was not chained to specificity, but aimed to depict in abstract the atmosphere of the Hebrides archipelago. The piece can be called "characteristic" as easily as "programmatic." Mendelssohn sought an aesthetic that would not directly evoke the music of Scotland, yet would be true to the spirit of the locale; many of his revisions removed traces of complex compositional craft in favor of more primitive, and by extension, exotic language. We can find traces of this even in the repetitions of the first theme, the ornamented descending triads that occur twice on B Minor, twice on D Major, and twice on F-sharp Minor. Here Mendelssohn uses A-natural rather than A-sharp to give a modal character that suggests the ancient. In a letter to his sister Fanny, he claimed he sought a language that favored "train oil, salt fish, and seagulls over counterpoint."

“Felix Mendelssohn's concert overture “The Hebrides” was composed in 1830, revised in 1832, and published the next year as his Op. 26. Some consider it an early tone poem.
It was inspired by one of Mendelssohn's trips to the British Isles, specifically an 1829 excursion to the Scottish island of Staffa, with its basalt sea cave known as Fingal's Cave. It is not known whether Mendelssohn set foot on the island, the cave being best visible from the water, but the composer reported that he immediately jotted down the opening theme for his composition. He at first called the work “To the Lonely Island” or “Zur einsamen Insel”, but then settled on the present title. However, in 1834, the year after the first publication, Breitkopf & Härtel issued an edition with the name “Fingalshöhle” (“Fingal's Cave”) and this title stuck, causing some confusion.
Being a concert overture, The Hebrides does not precede a play or opera, but is instead a standalone composition in a form common for the Romantic period. Dedicated to King Frederick William IV of Prussia, then Crown Prince of Prussia, the B minor work became part of the standard orchestral repertoire and retains this position to the present day.”
