THE BOSTON GLOBE WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 2001 Civic Symphony Orchestra of Boston Max Hobart, Music Director and Conductor At: Jordan Hall, Sunday By Richard Buell, Boston Globe Correspondent Thomas Oboe Lee, in his new Fourth Symphony ("War and Peace"), assigns the words, somewhat disconcertingly at first, to a soprano. Soon, however, you begin to notice that, because of the distancing this creates, the words work upon the listener quite differently. Those weren't certainly Owen, or Brooke, or Gurney, being portrayed onstage. Nor were they the fraught, standing-in-for-all-of-male-humanity generalizations Benjamin Britten foists on his soloists in the War Requiem. Soprano Peggo Horstmann Hodes sang - with poise, commitment, and palely pretty tone - in another mode altogether. Lee has obviously grasped the rhythmic life of these poems. He sees to it that the words tell. They never lack against cadences of natural English. He has a subtle way of thinning out the overall texture - not too abruptly - whenever the singer is in the foreground. Instrumental lines thread in and out, around and between. These instrumental lines, and for that matter what Lee does with the orchestra in general, don't have to be nearly as objective as the singer. His rat-a-tat-tat march music can be, on purpose, almost, but not quite, exasperating. At which point it turns improbably florid. Faux Shostakovich it isnt. And the composer has, it seems, listened well to the mellow pastoralism common to so much English music of the early 20th century.
