Greetings!
Greetings, and welcome to this 99th Annual Ann Arbor May Festival.
As we are closing in on a century of May Festivals, I am especially pleased to renew our relationship with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, which has graced our stages for 63 prior appearances and serves these four nights for the first time as the May Festival resident orchestra.
This union of two of Michigan's cultural treasures is most appropriate as this Festival marks the 175th anniversary of the founding of the University of Michigan in Detroit.
Combining the long histories of the Musical Society and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra represents 188 years of wonderful musicmaking that has filled concert halls throughout Southeastern Michigan. This 99th May Festival adds to the enriching musical life here and invites us to settle in and enjoy the exhilaration music provides.
Enjoy,
Kenneth C. Fischer Executive Director University Musical Society of the University of Michigan

University Musical Society of the University of Michigan
What began in the spring of 1 879 as a club dedicated to the study and performance of choruses from Handel's Messiah soon became known as "The Choral Union" and gave its first concert in December 1 879. This led to the formation of the University Musical Society in February 1 880, and the newly formed chorus became an integral part of seasons to come. Today, the Choral Union refers not only to the devoted group of university and community singers who annually perform the wellloved December performances of Messiah, but to the Musical Society's acclaimed tenconcert series in Hill Auditorium featuring the world's finest orchestras and recitalists. It is this series, along with the eightconcert Chamber Arts series in Rackham Auditorium and the Choice Series of events that includes dance, opera, popular, and ethnic performances in Power Center and other venues, that ranks the University Musical Society among the finest performing arts presenters in the nation, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Boston Celebrity Series, and the Washington Performing Arts Society at the Kennedy Center.
The Musical Society has flourished these 113 seasons with the support of a generous musicloving community, which has gathered in three worldclass halls to experience the artistry of performers such as Leonard Bernstein, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Martha Graham, Igor Stravinsky, Enrico Caruso, Jessye Norman, James Levine, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Alvin Ailey, Philadelphia Orchestra, Arthur Rubinstein, Eugene Ormandy, Herbert von Karajan, Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, Budapest String Quartet, JeanPierre Rampal, Benny Goodman, Andres Segovia, Fritz Kreisler, Juilliard String Quartet, and New York Philharmonic.
The Musical Society is committed to preserving its finest traditions and building upon them. With new series offerings, programs for young people, group sales, educational endeavors, special projects and festivals, radio programs, collaborative projects, and the commissioning of new works, the Musical Society looks forward to carrying its tradition of excellence in performing arts presentation into the next century.

Hill Auditorium
Since its completion in 1913, Hill Auditorium has been home to hundreds of University Musical Society concerts. In fact, it was the 20th Annual Ann Arbor May Festival that inaugurated the hall. Designed by architect Albert Kahn and acoustical engineer Hugh Tallant, Hill Auditorium has been established as a world renowned performance space. Every word spoken from the stage can be heard unamplified from virtually every part of the hall, making it a favorite of performers and concertgoers throughout the world. Flutist James Galway has referred to Hill Auditorium as the place where he most enjoys performing.
Former UM regent Arthur Hill saw the need at the University for a suitable auditorium for holding lectures, concerts, and other university gatherings, and, with his bequest of $200,000, construction of the 4,169seat hall commenced. Charles Sink, then UMS president, raised an additional $150,000.
Upon entering the hall, concertgoers are greeted by the gilded organ pipes of the Frieze Memorial Organ above the stage. The University Musical Society brought this organ in 1 894 from the Chicago Columbian Exposition for the first May Festival and installed it in old University Hall (which stood behind the present Angell Hall). The organ was moved to Hill Auditorium for the 1913 May Festival. Over the decades, the organ pipes have undergone many changes of appearance, but were restored to their original stenciling, coloring, and layout in 1986.
The UMS celebrated the 75th anniversary of Hill Auditorium in a gala performance on October 29, 1988 featuring the Vienna Philharmonic with conductor Leonard Bernstein celebrating his 70th birthday.
Detroit Symphony Orchestra
The 100 members of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra are heard live by over 350,000 people annually, performing yearround concerts that include 24 weeks of classical subscription concerts, the Pops Series, the annual Christmas Festival -featuring The Nutcracker Ballet at the Fox Theatre, The Detroit News Young People's Concerts, a summer season at the Meadow Brook Music Festival, and annual tours throughout the state of Michigan. Among the educational and community activities the Orchestra offers are free summer concerts in Detroit metropolitan parks, a free Educational Concert Series, Detroit Symphony Civic Orchestra concerts, a Docent and Ticket Distribution Program for high school students, the DSO Fellowship Program, and the annual Unisys AfricanAmerican Composers Forum and Symposium.
In September of 1990, internationally ac?claimed conductor Neemejdrvi became the eleventh music Director of the Detroit Sym?phony Orchestra. Born in Tallinn, Estonia, Mr. Jdrvi is one of today's most recorded conduc?tors. With the signing of a twoyear, fivedisc recording contract with Chandos Records, Mr. Jarvi ana the DSO released their first compact disc in June of 1991. This critically acclaimed disc of works by American composers is available on five continents and was on the
Billboard magazine Top Classical Albums chart for over 13 weeks. The second disc, containing French works, was released in November, ana the latest release, including Ives' Symphony No. 1 and Barber's Three Essays for Orchestra, is now available, and has been nationally recognized for being Neeme Jdrvi's 1 OOth release for Chandos. The Orchestra's distin?guished history of recording includes awardwinning discs on the Chandos, London, Columbia, RCA, and Mercury Records labels.
The DSO continues its long history of national radio broadcasts, which includes participation in the first complete symphonic radio broadcast in 1922. That same year it became the first official radio broadcast orchestra in the nation. The DSO could be heard this season on more than 390 radio stations nationwide. On October 11,1992, Neeme Jtirvi and the DSO will give a special concert commemorating the 500th anniversary of the Discovery of America with a live performance that will be broadcast live in Europe on the national radio networks in over 30 countries. It is expected that more than 20 million people will hear this performance.
The Detroit Symphony Orchestra gave its first Ann Arbor concert in 1919, and the ensemble now returns for its first May Festival residency. During the decades between these two events have Been many other performances, totaling 67 concerts for the Musical Society at the completion of this 99th May Festival.

Neeme Jarvi, conductor
Neeme Jarvi began his post as eleventh Music Director of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra on September 1, 1990, his first such position with an American symphony orchestra. Internation?ally acclaimed for
his performances with orchestras and opera houses throughout the world, Mr. Jtirvi is also one of today's most recorded conductors.
Born in Tallinn, Estonia, in 1937, he graduated from the Tallinn Music School with degrees in
percussion and choral conducting and later completed his studies in opera and symphonic conducting at the Leningrad State Conserva?tory. He made his conducting debut at the age of 1 8 with a concert performance of Strauss' Night in Venice and his operatic debut with Carmen at the Kirov Theater. In 1963, he became Director of the Estonian Radio and Television Orchestra and began a thirteenyear tenure as Chief Conductor at the Tallinn Opera.
International acclaim came in 1971 when Mr. Jdrvi won first prize in the Conductors Competi?tion at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome. This triumph led to invitations to conduct major orchestras throughout Eastern Europe, Great Britain, Germany, Sweden, Japan, Mexico, and Canada. In the Soviet Union he became Chief Conductor and Artistic Director of the Estonian State Symphony and also conducted the Soviet premier perfor?mances of Der Rosenkavalier, Porgy and Bess, and turco in Italia.
In January 1980, Mr. Jarvi immigrated to the United States and in the following month made his American orchestral debut with the New York Philharmonic. Since then he has con?ducted the major orchestras in
North America and Europe and has served as Principal Guest Conductor with the City of Birmingham (England) Symphony (198183).
He has served as Music Director of the Royal Scottish Orchestra (198188),
of which he presently serves as Conductor Laureate, and he holds the post of Principal Conductor of the Gothenburg Symphony of Sweden. Standing in at the last minute for an ailing Seiji Ozawa, Mr. Jdrvi recently led the Boston Symphony Orchestra in performances at Symphony Hail in Boston, as well as an exciting concert in New York's Carnegie Hall. Equally renowned for his opera conducting, Mr. Jdrvi made his Metropolitan Opera debut with Eugene Onegin during the 197879 season and returned during 198586 to conduct a new production of Khovanshchina. His first performances in Detroit were on tour with the Metropolitan Opera, conducting performances of Samson et Dalila.
Mr. Jdrvi has recorded many award winning discs for Chandos, BIS, Orfeo, and Deutsche Grammophon, including releases with the Chicago Symphony, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Royal Scottish Orchestra, London Symphony, London Philharmonic, Philharmonia Orchestra, Bamberg Symphony, Gothenburg Symphony, and Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. With the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Mr. Jdrvi is in the process of recording five discs for Chandos over the next two seasons. Three are now available, the third being Neeme Jdrvi's 1 OOth disc for Chandos.
Awards received by Mr. Jdrvi include honorary doctorates from the University of Aberdeen in Scotland and the Music Conservatory of Tallinn, Estonia. An honorary member of the Swedish Academy of Music, Neeme Jdrvi was dubbed a Knight Commander of the North Star Order by the King of Sweden in September of 1990.
Maestro Jdrvi made his Ann Arbor debut in November 1973 conducting a special concert of the Leningrad Philharmonic, The Festival Chorus, and soloist Joy Davidson in Prokofiev's Alexander Nevsky. It wasn't until February 1991 that he returned, then as the new music director of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.

Program Notes
by Michael Fleming
Overture to Semiramide
Gioacchino Rossini
Born febwary 29, 1792, Pesaro
Died November 13, 1868, Pussy, Frame
Semiramide was first performed at the Teatro la Fenice in Venice on February 3, 1 823. The Overture is scored for piccolo, flute, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani, bass drum, and strings (duration: 12 minutes).
When Gustav Kobbe wrote, in his Complete Opera Book, published in 1922, that "Semiramide seems to have had its day," he could hardly have foreseen the Rossini revival that would gather strength over the next halfcentury. His complaint, that singers adequate to Rossini's florid vocal writing were no longer to be found, has been remedied by such specialists as Marilyn Home. And the drama?turgy of his serious operas, which seemed creaky in Kobbe's day, now seems much more credible.
In February 1992, the 200th anniversary of Rossini's birth was celebrated, but in a larger sense, the festivities have been going on for decades, and will continue well into the future. To take only the case of Semiramide, both the Metropolitan Opera and the Dallas Opera are mounting major productions this fall.
By coincidence, Semiramide was the last work Rossini wrote for the Italian stage: better working conditions, and finally, a life of leisure, awaited him in Paris. "It was the only one of my Italian operas which I was able to do at my ease," he wrote, "the contract gave me forty days...But I didn't put in forty days at writing it."
The opera, which Rossini labeled a "melodramma tragico," is based on Voltaire's play Semiramis. The title character, the queen of Babylon, has conspired with Prince Assur to murder her husband Nino. Assur expects to be named king for his part in the deed, but Semiramide is in love with Arsace, who, unknown to her, is her own son. After much intrigue and a supernatural appearance of Nino from the grave, the three protagonists meet at Nino's tomb. Arsace, making a sword thrust at Assur, strikes his mother instead, and is proclaimed the legitimate heir to the throne.
The first act of the opera was indifferently received at its premiere, but the audience warmed by the end, and there were 27 more performances that season at La Fenice. By the time the run was over, Rossini had headed back to Bologna, en route to Paris, where he would spend the rest of his life. Semiramide quickly made the rounds of Naples, Milan, Vienna, Munich, and London. After the 1 894 revival at the Metropolitan in New York with Nellie Melba, it virtually disappeared from sight, only to resurface for good after a 1962 performance with Joan Sutherland in the title role.
The overture never ceased to be a favorite in concert, and it captures some of the solemnity of the opera, along with the effervescense one expects of Rossini. The introduction, sounded by the horns, derives from a chorus in the opera, taken over more or less intact. The chirping melody that introduces the quick section undergoes a change of context: in the opera, this "graceful and lively" melody, as Kobbe calls it, accompanies the solemn entrance of the Assyrian priests into a darkened temple. This, ana an even sprightlier second theme, are worked out in the characteristic Rossini manner: with more flash than rigor, and with the inevitable buildup to a thunderous climax.
Ruckert Lieder
Gustav Mahler
Bow July 7, 1860, Kolischt (now Kolhte), Bohemia
Died May 18,1911, Vienna
Texts by Friedrich Ruckert (17881 866)
Gustav Mahler wrote less than 50 songs throughout his lifetime, for the most part using texts by early poets, folk verses, or even writing his own. The poetry of the German romantic Friedrich Ruckert had appealed to several composers, including Schubert, Schumann, and Brahms. Though Ruckert was not a major poet, he was the only relatively modern poet that Mahler chose for his song settings. Mahler's bestknown setting of Riickert poems is his Kindertotenlieder (Songs on the death of children). Just as beautiful, however, are the other five songs he composed in 1901 and 1902. They were not published until after his death, appearing with two of the earlier Das Knaben Wunderhorn (The Youth's Magic Horn) songs as Seiben Lieder aus der litzen Zeit (Seven Songs of Latter Days). The five Ruckert Lieder are contemporaneous with Mahler's Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Symphonies.
The five Ruckert songs do not comprise a cycle in the true sense of the word. They are often performed as a group, however, even though the texts are not closely related, and the orchestra is dissimilar from song to song. Moreover, different singers choose to perform them in different sequences.
The delicate Ich atmet' einen linden Duft contains a play on the words linde (lime tree) and lind (gentle), which cannot be directly translated into English. The second song, Liebst du um Schonheit, was composed for Mahler's new wife, Alma. Since he never orchestrated this love song, Max Puttmann was asked to score it when the entire set was published. Blicke mir nicht in die Lieder is the only fast song in the set. Um Mitternacht portrays the despair of one who must face death alone, countered by the serene confidence of faith in God. Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen is the emotional climax of the set, especially the last stanza that parallels Mahler's isolation from the world and the peace he was able to find through music.
Ich atmet' einen linden Duft
Ich atmet' einen linden Duft.
Im Zimmer stand
ein Zweig der Linde,
ein Angebinde
won lieber Hand.
Wie lieblich war der Lindenduft!
Wie lieblich war der Lindenduft!
Das Lindenreis
brachst du gelinde;
ich atmet' leis'
im Duft der Linde
der Liebe linden Duft.
Liebst du um Schonheit!
Liebst du um Schonheit, o nicht mich liebe!
Liebe die Sonne, sie tragt ein goldnes Haar! Liebst du um Jugend, o nicht mich liebe!
Liebe den Fruhling, der Jung ist jedes Jahr!
Liebst du um Schatze, o nicht mich liebe!
Liebe die Meerfrau, sie hat viel Perlen klar!
Liebst du um Liebe, o ja mich liebe!
Liebe mich immer, dich liebe ich immerdar!
Blicke mir nicht in die Lieder
Blicke mir nicht in die Lieder! Meine Augen schlag ich nieder wie ertappt auf boser Tat. Selber darf ich nicht getrauen ihrem Wachsen zuzuschauen. Blicke mir nicht in die Lieder! Deine Neugier ist Verrat. Bienen, wenn sie Zellen bauen, Lassen auch nicht zu sich schauen, schauen selbst auch nicht zu. Wenn die reichen Honigwaben sie zu Tag befordet haben dann vor alien nasche du!
I Breathed a Gentle Fragrance
I breathed a gentle fragrance.
In the room there was
A branch of the lime tree,
A gift
From a beloved hand.
How lovely was the lime fragrance!
How lovely was the lime fragrance!
The lime tree sprig
You gently plucked;
I softly breathed
In the fragrance of lime
The fragrance of love.
If You Love for Beauty!
If you love for beauty, do not love me! Love the sun, she displays
Solden hair! you love for youth, do not love me!
Love the spring which is young every year!
If you love for treasure, do not love me!
Love the mermaid, she has many clear pearls!
If you love for love, oh, yes, love me!
Love me forever, as I will always love you!
Do Not Look at my Songs
Do not look at my songs! I lower my eyes As if I were caught in a crime. Even I do not dare Watch their evolution. Do not look at my songs! Your curiosity is a betrayal. Bees, when they build their cells Also let no one watch. When the rich honeycombs Have seen the light of day You shall be the first to taste them!
Um Mitternacht
Um Mitternacht
hab' ich gewacht
und aufgeblickt zum Himmel;
kein Stern vom Sterngewimmel
hat mir gelacht
Um Mitternacht.
Um Mitternacht
hab' ich gedacht
hinaus in dunkel Schranken.
Es hat kein Lechtgedanken
mir Trost gebracnt
Um Mitternacht.
Um Mitternacht
nahm ich in Acht
die Schlage meines Herzens;
ein einz'ger Puts des Schmerzens
war angefacht
Um Mitternacht.
Um Mitternacht
kampft' ich die Schlacht
O Menschheit, deiner Leiden;
nicht konnt ich sie engscheiden
mit meiner Macht
Um Mitternacht.
Um Mitternacht
hab' ich die Macht
in deine Hand gegeben!
Herr! Herr! uber Tod und Leben!
Du halst die Wacht! usw.
Um Mitternacht!
Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen
Ich bin der welt abhanden gekommen mit der ich sonst viele Zeit verdorben. Sie hat so nichts von mir vernommen sie mag wohl glauben, ich sei gestorben.
Es ist mir auch gar nichts daran gelegen, ob sie mich fur gestorben halt. Ich kann auch gar nichts sagen dagegen, den wirklich bin ich gestorben der Welt.
Ich bin gestorben dem Weltgetummel und ruh' in einem stillen Gebiet. Ich leb' allein in meinem Himmel in meinem Lieben, in meinem Lied.
At Midnight
At midnight
I awoke
And gazed into the heavens;
No star in the firmament
Smiled down at me
At midnight.
At midnight My thoughts went Beyond dark boundaries. There was no light To bring me comfort At midnight.
At midnight
I looked after
The beat of my heart;
A single pulse of pain
Was roused
At midnight.
At midnight
I fought the battle
0 mankind, your suffering;
1 could not resolve it With my might
At midnight.
At midnight
I gave all my might
Into your hand!
God! God! Over death and life!
You keep watch! etc.
At midnight!
I Am Out of Touch With the World
I am out of touch with the world Where I once wasted so much time. It has heard nothing from me in so long It may well think I have died.
To me, it hardly matters Whether they take me for dead. I can not even deny it. For truly, I am dead to the world.
I am dead to the world's bustle And rest in a quiet domain. I live alone in my heaven In my love, in my song.

The Planets, Op. 32
Gustav Hoist Born September 21,1874, Cheltenham Died May 25, 1934, London
first complete pe
took place in London on November 15, 1920, Albert Coates directing. There had been several previous partial performances. The score calls for four flutes (third and fourth doubling piccolo, fourth also doubling alto flute), three oboes and English horn (third oboe doubling bass oboe), three clarinets and bass clarinet, three bassoons and contrabassoon, six horns, four trumpets, three trombones, tenor tuba, bass tuba, six timpani (two players), triangle, snare drum, tambourine, cymbals, bass drum, tamtam, chimes, glockenspiel, celesta, xylophone, two harps, organ, and strings. In "Neptune," there is a hidden sixvoice choir of female voices (duration: 53 minutes).
The Planets was a mixed blessing to Gustav Hoist. On the one hand, it brougnt him worldwide acclaim, and overnight, secured his place as a composer in Britain. But during his lifetime, he found his position of notoriety painful, and after his death in 1934, The Planets put even the finest of his other works in the shade, and in the process cast the shy, scholarly Hoist as a musical Colonel Blimp, a representative of the Philistine side of the English character.
That false image might have amused him: he drew a clear portrait of the Mystic, the Artist, and the Philistine in an essay, one reprinted as an appendix to Imogen Hoist's biography of her father. That he was a mystic, there is no doubt -as a young man he was so taken with Hindu philosophy that he set himself to learn Sanskrit. But often as he returned to the texts of Hinduism, or the apocryphal Acts of St. John for his Hymn of Jesus, he was reluctant to say much in words about his spiritual beliefs. For his artistic side, the music itself speaks. A fuller view of Hoist as a composer awaits only wider performance of such works as the chamber opera Savitri, the Choral Hymns from the Rig Veda, and the tone poem Egdon Heath. And even if he would not have admitted it, there was a healthy touch of the Philistine about him, a disdain for the pretense and swank that often accompany the arts.
Where does this leave The Planets As a work in which many currents converge: the stylistic mastery Hoist had acquired in two previous decades of composing (or rather, as Imogen Hoist points out, the "unlearning" of manner?isms foreign to him); his interest in the exotic and the occult and the ability to draw deep musical inspiration from these; and finally, the ear for orchestral color and the nononsense attitude toward orchestral players acquired during his years of eking out a living as a trombonist. The notion of writing a suite based on the astrological characters of the planets then known to astronomers came to Hoist from his friend Clifford Bax. "As a rule I only study things that suggest music to me," he wrote. "That's why I worry at Sanskrit. Then recently the character of each planet suggested lots to me, and I have been studying astrology fairly closely." Even after his musical work was over, Hoist continued to cast horoscopes for his friends, fascinated by the insight it seemed to offer into their characters, though a bit embarrassed at what might pass for supersti?tion. Nevertheless, he did not pursue the astrological connections of the individual sections of The Planets. "Once he had taken the underlying idea from astrology," writes Imogen Hoist, "he let the music have its way with him."
He began work on "Mars" in the summer of 1914, just before the outbreak of World War I, completed "Venus" and "Jupiter" that fall, "Saturn," "Uranus," and "Neptune" in 1915, and "Mercury" in 1916. Hoist was not an extraordinarily slow composer; the work took so long because he could work uninterrupted only on weekends and in August, when he was free from his teaching duties at St. Paul's Girls' School. Hoist first heard the work in a twopiano arrangement made by two of his St. Paul's colleagues; the first orchestral perfor?mance, of five movements only, took place on September 29, 1918, a gift from the composer H. Balfour Gardiner to Hoist, who was about to leave for noncombatant war service.
I. MARS, THE BRINGER OF WAR: When listeners first heard this, they assumed that Hoist was depicting the horrors of the First World War; in fact, he completed it before the outbreak of hostilities. A hammering quintuple meter never yields: a monstrous deformation of march time that captures the "stupidity" of war, as Sir Adrian Boult said, was Hoist's aim.
II. VENUS, THE BRINGER OF PEACE: Meter and melody are smoothed out here, and in contrast to the closepacked brass chords in "Mars," the composer scores for woodwinds, harps, and strings.
III. MERCURY, THE WINGED MESSENGER: The mysterious, changeable aspects of the god are celebrated here, in chiaroscuro instrumentation, and in rhythms that waver between 3 plus 3, and 2 plus 2 plus 2.
IV. JUPITER, THE BRINGER OF JOLLITY: There are three alternating strains here: the first, a dance that hardly seems to know which foot goes first; the second, a rollicking song awash in triplets; the last, a Grand Tune that Elqar might have been proud of. To the last or these, in 1921, Hoist set the words, "I vow to thee, my country," thus confirming the British pedigree of this scene of rustic jollity.
V. SATURN, THE BRINGER OF OLD AGE: This was Hoist's favorite movement, one built out of murmuring melodies and gently rocking chords. Except for its rather dense orchestration, it could pass as the work of one of the French impressionists.
VI. URANUS, THE MAGICIAN: The "magic" here is found in a strange set of intervals, incorporating the "diabolical" tritone. When these have been sounded by trumpets and trombones, as if practicing the charm, they are turned into a dance that grows ever more reckless, only to vanish as daylight ap?proaches.
VII. NEPTUNE, THE MYSTIC: This was the outermost known planet in Hoist's time -Pluto was not discovered until 1930. For it, Hoist provides some mysterious music, built up, like that for "Saturn," out of small fragments. Here, we are as close as we ever get to the very heart of Hoist, to the spirit he described in 1920:
"All mystic experiences seem to be forms of union. It is worth noting that all these experi?ences, whether sublime or ridiculous, have one thing in common. They are hard to describe...and yet in themselves they are so convincing. It is easy to disbelieve other people's experiences, but you have to work hard before you disbelieve your own."
Marilyn Home
Following Marilyn Home's 1960 perfor?mance in Wozzeck with the San Francisco Opera, Alfred Frankenstein of the Son Francisco Chronicle wrote: "In Miss Home's hands -or, rather in her beautiful voice, her sensitive face,
and her tremen?dous gifts as a actress -lie a good portion of the future of American opera, and its future is therefore bright indeed." Marilyn Horne went on to fulfill this prophecy with a career that has assured her place in the annals of
operatic achievement. A major force in the revitalization of the works of Handel and Rossini, Ms. Home was the first artist to bring Handel to the Metropolitan Opera. In 1984, she appeared as the only living artist on the New York Times list of the nine "alltime, allstar singers in the Met's 100 years."
Ms. Home was recently awarded the prestigious Fidelio Gold Medal by the International Association of Opera Directors for her substantial contributions to opera houses throughout the world. It was the first time that an American artist has been so honored. Shortly thereafter, Ms. Home received the Covent Garden Silver Medal for outstanding service. This tribute also marked the 25th anniversary of her debut at the Royal Opera House. Most recently, she received the 30year silver medal for "outstanding artistry" from the San Francisco Opera and was featured on "In Performance at the White House."
Along with her operatic triumphs at La Scala, Covent Garden, La Fenice, and Lyric Opera of Chicago last season, Ms. Home was again featured as Arsace in nine performances of Semiramide at the Met, 26 years after her historic performance of the opera at Carnegie Hall with Joan Sutherland. Semiramide, which had not been performed at the Met for 96 years, was mounted especially for Marilyn Home. For the Carnegie Hall Centennial Celebration, she premiered a new song
cycle, Will Breathe a Mountain, written expressly for her by William Bolcom, UM Professor of Music.
At least half of Marilyn Home's performing life consists of recitals. Having performed welfover 1,000 recitals, she remains one of the few vocalists who can sell out a house in this most exacting realm of singing.
Ms. Home has won Grammy Awards for her albums "Presenting Marilyn Home," "In Concert at the Met with Leontyne Price and Marilyn Home," "Carmen" (conducted by Leonard Bernstein), and the Prix du Disque for "Souvenir of a Golden Era." Her other albums include a live La Scala recital, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony with the New York Philhar?monic, a Christmas album with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, rare French arias, and a live recording of Tancredi made at La Fenice in Venice. "Beautiful Dreamer," her London collection of wellloved American songs, was number one on Billboard's list of crossover discs for many weeks during the 198687 season. In February 1992, a recording of Rossini songs was released in con unction with the composer's 200th bicentennia celebration. Two other releases scheduled for 1992 are Falstaffand an album of lullabies from around the world.
Born in Bradford, Pennsylvania, Marilyn Home began her musical studies with her father and first sang in public at the age of four. She studied voice with William Vennard and song recital works with Gwendolyn Koldofsky (her accompanist for ten years thereafter) at the University of Southern California. She also participated in many master classes led by Lotte Lehmann. Ms. Home's early career included performances with Igor Stravinsky conducting various orchestras (Stravinsky dedicated his last work, instrumental arrange?ments of two Hugo Wolf Sacred Songs, to Ms. Home), and as Dorothy Dandridge's singing voice in the motion picture of Oscar Hammerstein's Carmen Jones. Her autobiogra?phy, Marilyn Home -My Life, written with Jane Scovell, was published by Atheneum in 1984.
Ms. Home now returns to Ann Arbor for her fourth appearance in this auditorium, after May Festivals in 1972 and 1976 and a recital in 1979.

Essay No. 1 for Orchestra, Op. 72
Samuel Barber Bom March 9, 1910, West Chester, Pennsylvania Died January 23, 1981, Hew York
Arturo Toscanini conducted the NBC Sym?phony in the first performance of Barber's Essay No. 1, November 5, 1938. The score calls for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, timpani, piano, and strings (duration: 8 minutes).
There is a longstanding prejudice to the effect that a composer of songs is by nature one who snatches melodies from the air, and who cannot be expected to tackle so demanding a task as composing instrumental music. Schubert's symphonies and sonatas have been undervalued on this premise, as have the instrumental works of Samuel Barber. Scholars are now hard at work explaining that Schubert was more than the jolly tunesmith of popular misconception, and it is high time that someone did the same for Samuel Barber. To be sure, his instrumental works are few in number, but they are lovingly and ingeniously crafted.
The godfather of the First Essay for Orchestra was the conductor Arthur Rodzinski, who had led performances of Barber's Symphony No. 1 in Cleveland, New York, and at the Salzburg Festival (the first work by an American to be given at the Festival). Toscanini, no particular friend of American music but determined to do his duty as conductor of the New York Philharmonic, had asked for suggestions of new pieces by American composers, and Rodzinski named Barber. The Essay was written while Barber was in Rome, in 1937, and sent off to Toscanini along with the Adagio for Strings, arranged from his String Quartet. The 193738 concert season passed with no reply, and Barber despaired of having either work performed.
The Essay -the first of three works by Barber that bear that title -parallels the literary genre of the same name. Rather than developing his ideas dramatically, in the manner of the sonata, Barber treats them more casually, counting on the conciseness of his subject matter to give shape to the piece. The main topic to be considered is a changingnote
Concerto for Orchestra
Ann Arbor Premiere
Leslie Bassett Born January 22, 1923, Hanhrd, California Currently living in Ann Arbor
A joint commission of the Koussevitzky Music Foundation and the Detroit Symphony, the Concerto for Orchestra received its first perfor?mances by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in February 1992.
The score calls for three flutes (one doubling piccolo),
three oboes (one doubling English horn), three clarinets (one doubling bass clarinet), three bassoons (one doubling contrabassoon), four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, a large percussion battery played by four players, piano, celesta, harp, and strings (duration: 20 minutes).
Composer Leslie Bassett is widely known for the more than 100 works that have come from his Ann Arbor studio over the past four decades, music for a large variety of media, bringing him a substantial number of perfor?mances, publications, awards, prizes, commissions, and honors, including the Pulitzer Prize (1966), Prix de Rome (1961 63), Koussevitzky (1971 and 1991), two Guggenheim Fellowships (1973 and 1980), a Fulbright Fellowship to Paris (195051), several National Endowment for the Arts
commissions, and membership in the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. His music has been performed by most of the country's major orchestras, and numerous civic and university groups.
Long identified with the University of Michigan, Bassett is its Albert A. Stanley Distinguished Professor of Music and was the 1984 Henry Russel lecturer, the University's highest honor. He served as Chairman of composition from 197085 and was a founding member of the University's electronic music studio.
After early training in California on piano, cello, ana trombone, he served as a trombonist and arranger with the 13th Armored Division Band during World War II. His formal music study began at Fresno State College, with graduate work at the University of Michigan under Ross Lee Finney, and in Paris, with both Nadia Boulanger and Arthur Honegger. He also worked with the SpanishBritish composer Alberto Gerhard and in electronic music with Mario Davidovsky.
Among his notable prizewinning and commissionea works are the Variations for Orchestra, which took the 1966 Pulitzer Prize (given its Ann Arbor premiere by the DSO in January 1967); and Echoes from an Invisible World (given its Ann Arbor premiere by The Philadel?phia Orchestra during the 1976 May Festival), commissioned by a consortium of American orchestras for the 1976 Bicentennial and subsequently recorded. This concerto is Bassett's second commission from the Koussevitzky Music Foundation. The first was for the Sextet for Piano and Strings, which received its premiere at the Library of Con?gress.
The composer has provided the following note:
"The Concerto for Orchestra, completed in July 1991 and edited during the fall, consists of four movements sewn together by solos. The music is at times lyrical, pensive, driving, assertive, scurrying, highlytextured, layered, colorful, forceful. I wished to display to advantage the expressivity and the virtuosity of the performers as individuals and in sections. Solos emerge from textures and harmonies, and various instrumental groups project their
own particular messages. Such circumstances offer rich opportunity For orchestral fantasy, the delight of any composer.
"The first movement begins quietly, expectantly, introductory in texture and mood, leading to the fast, driving and energetic music that domi?nates. A quiet ending precedes the clarinet's brief connecting solo.
"The second movement, lyrical, muted, expressive, features an English horn solo, followed by the bass clarinet. A flute solo emerges, then the solo cello. The concertmaster provides a bridge to the third movement.
"Muffled scurryings open this passage, then quickly move to energetic and interruptive figures, repetitions and climaxes. Muted brass groups jostle and overlap. The ending, suddenly quiet, is marked by resumed rustlings. A bassoon solo points to the finale.
"The Conclusion begins dramatically, with forceful references to fast music from earlier movements. Loudquiet contrasts, pyramids, imitations, overlapping solos, opposing brass and wind groups move to a climactic ending. "One primary and conspicuous motive appears frequently throughout the Concerto, a turn of phrase that I have used in one form or another for many years, closely resembling Bach's own musical signature. BACH, whose German spelling yields Bflat, A, C, B natural, is a tight, potent cluster of pitches -the tightest possible. We find countless examples of similar intense fournote turns of phrase throughout Western music. Here my usual order is B, C, Bflat, A, often followed by Csharp. The line sometimes continues, rising through the other seven remaining pitches within the octave. While such a twelvenote melody suggests earnest serialism, there is really nothing of the sort worth mentioning, beyond a few straightforward canons. The motif (and its extensions) is the thing. My work remains intuitive, colored by tonal and serial influences, based upon thorough and careful hearing, the instruments' distinctive qualities, imagination, fantasy, and a lifetime of delight in the wonders and joys of music."
Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67
Ludwig van Beethoven Born December 16,1770, Bonn Died March 26,1327, Vienna
The Fifth Symphony was first performed in Vienna on December 22, 1 808. The score calls for piccolo, two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, contrabassoon, two horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani, and strings (duration: 30 minutes).
A hundred years aqo, Sir George Grove wrote that Beethoven's Firth Symphony could always be counted on to fill the room. "And this not only among amateurs who have some practical familiarity with music, but among the large mass of persons who go to hear music pour passer le temps." Even today, when we have heard the opening bars of the symphony discoized, commercialized, and used as a tag to identify Beethoven to those who never set foot in a concert hall, the Fifth retains its power.
Generations of conductors have bent the symphony this way and that, and generations of critics and commentators have heaped interpre?tation on interpretation. But even the most willful conductor or the most fanciful program annotator cannot obscure the essential character of the work: it is foolproof, and even the interpreta?tions that stretch credibility to the limits are but exaggerations of traits that anyone can perceive.
The symphony sounds inevitable and irrefutable; as with many works that seem to have fallen readymade from heaven, it required years of licking into shape. Beethoven began sketching his Cminor Symphony in 1 804, after finishing work on the Eroica. He worked on it sporadi?cally until 1 806, breaking off to write the Razumovsky String Quartets, the Fourth Piano Concerto, the Fourth Symphony, and the Violin Concerto. He finished work on the Fifth in 1 807 and 1 808, and it was presented to the public in December of that year, on a concert that also included the Pastoral Symphony, the Choral Fantasy, the Fourth Piano Concerto, several movements from the Mass in C, and the aria Ah! perfido.
Because the first four notes have taken on a life of their own in the popular mind -and because some conductors fell into the habit of setting apart these and the phrase that follows in a slower tempo --the notion has grown up that the movement is in fact "built" out of four notes. Tovey pointed out the fallacy of this assumption,
observing that the movement, far from being a mosaic of short motifs, is exceptionally longbreathed. The secret of the movement's psychological impact lies in Beethoven's total control or its progress: a bar more or less, and the structure would begin to teeter.
E.T.A. Hoffmann, in a famous review of the Fifth Symphony, proclaimed Beethoven "a purely romantic composer (and for this reason, a truly musical composer)." But the Andante con moto, on the surface, seems like an oldfashioned set of double variations, such as Papa Haydn might have written. The modern listener has to imagine himself back into the early nineteenth century to hear the strange pauses, interrup?tions, and changes of pace as "romantic."
The last two movements form a unit, but it was not always so: there are sketches for a finale in C minor, in 68 time, marked I'ultimo pezzo (the last piece). The solution Beethoven finally arrived at an unsettling Scherzo, in which strange mutterings alternate with passionate cries; dissolving into a Cmajor blaze, inter?rupted once by the ghost of the Scherzo -was one that appealed strongly to the following generations. Its lesson was not lost on Brahms, who exploited the minorturnedtomajor in his First Symphony.
Beethoven has been criticized as a poor orchestrator, and there are passages, like the one in the first movement where bassoons have to stand in for horns, that were conditioned by the limitations of the instruments for which he wrote. But no one who listens closely to the last two movements of the Fifth Symphony will believe that he was insensitive to instrumental color. Who has more knowingly exploited the double basses' ability to strike a mysterious pose -or their grotesque comic talents And if sophisticates deride the outbursts of trombones and contrabassoon, and the whoops of joy in the piccolo in the finale, can anyone suggest how they might be improved upon

Fortythird Concert of the 113th Season Ninetyninth Annual May Festival
Program Notes
by Michael Fleming
Symphony No. 1 ("Classical")
Sergei Prokofiev
Born April 23, 1891, Sonlsovka Died March 5,1953, Moscow
The Classical Symphony was first performed on April 21, 1918, in Petrograd, with the composer conducting. The score calls for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani, and strings (duration: 15 minutes).
Last year marked the hundredth anniversary of Prokofiev's birth, and the event brought an outpouring of performances of his music. His instrumental music has never lacked exposure in the concert hall, so the past season brought mostly more frequent performances of works that have estab?lished themselves as audience favorites. Prokofiev's operas are another matter, and it is significant that one of the most contro?versial, War and Peace, was a stunning success when the Seattle Opera presented it in 1990.
From Harlow Robinson, we have at last a balanced biography of the composer, replacing the older ones by Israel Nestyev (which toes the Soviet party line of the 1950s, when it was published) and by Victor Seroff (an antiSoviet diatribe). Even with the disintegration of the Soviet Union and a general reassessment of Soviet composers who worked during the darkest days of Stalinism, however, some are not yet willing to make peace with Prokofiev. In an article in The New York Times, entitled "Prokofiev, Hail ... and Farewell" the musicologist Richard Taruskin tarred some of Prokofiev's most popular scores with the brush of opportunism. "He is our musical Faust," Taruskin concluded, "our pitiable and terrifying Everyman. His biography, with its central crossroadsmotif, has become myth. More than just a cautionary tale, it is the elementary parable of the buffeting the arts have suffered in the great 20thcentury totalitarian states."
Robinson wrote a letter to the Times rebutting Taruskin's portrayal of Prokofiev as a political tool, but the debate is far from being resolved. Of the durability of his music, there seems little doubt, but there
remain troubling questions about the man himself. Did he really believe he would be exempt from bureaucratic tinkering when he returned to the Soviet Union to live in 1936, after more than a decade in the West Why did he abandon his first wife, marry another without bothering to divorce her, and then fail to raise his voice when she was hustled off to prison on trumpedup charges
It may take decades more until the records of the Stalinist period are made accessible to scholars and the information in them incorpo?rated into our understanding of those who had to live under a regime in which the Party reached into every corner of life, including the arts. Meanwhile, we can continue to savor the music of Prokofiev, and withhold final judgment on his character until all the facts are available. In any case, if we excluded from the concert halls the music of any composer found politi?cally suspect, Richard Strauss, Wagner, and many more might find themselves on the forbidden list.
The Old Russia in which Prokofiev was brought up was under siege from within when he wrote his Classical Symphony, but Prokofiev was far away from the lines of battle, physically and psychologically. In the spring of 1917, when he began work on the Symphony, he was on a steamboat trip along the Volga and Kama rivers, a landscape that Prokofiev found "wild, virginally pure, and incredibly beautiful."
He spent the summer outside Petrograd (as St. Petersburg had by then been renamed), reading Kant and composing. "Up to that time, I had usually composed at the piano," he wrote in his 1941 autobiography, "but I had noticed that thematic material composed without the piano was often better in quality...I was intrigued with the idea of writing an entire symphonic piece without the piano."
His model for such a piece, he wrote, was Haydn, but with a twentiethcentury twist. As the symphony developed, he gave it the nickname Classical, "first of all, because it was easier that way," he explained; "secondly, out of naughti?ness and a desire to 'tease the geese,' hoping that in the end I would have my way if the title 'Classical' stuck."
It did stick, and the symphony has remained one of Prokofiev's most beloved, alongside the Fifth. But in what sense is it "Classical" First of all, it follows the fourmovement pattern of the eighteenthcentury symphony, departing from it only by replacing the customary minuet with a gavotte. Also, the instrumentation is what Haydn might have expected in a large city like London, with the addition of a third kettledrum
being the only departure from Classical practice.
But this is not a pure homage to Haydn: rather, it takes his own characteristic humor a step further, introducing "wrong" notes, grouping the phrases sometimes by threes and fives instead of fours and eights, and exploiting the comical possibilities of the instruments them?selves, as in the hiccupping violin theme over a humdrum bassoon accompaniment that takes second place in the first movement. Both the first and last movements move with exceptional speed, some of the jokes almost thrown away. It is here that the relationship to Haydn is defined: not pure homage, but more than parody, and without a trace of disrespect.
The second movement, with its ticktock accompaniment and singing melody might almost pass for a genuine antique, except that no eighteenthcentury composer would have let the melody enter in the stratospheric register Prokofiev does. Like Haydn, Prokofiev cleverly varies the reprise, letting the rising scales from the middle section sneak back as accompani?ment when the main tune returns.
The Gavotta, with its irregular phrasing and shocking changes of harmonic direction, is the most purely tongueincheek movement. Prokofiev evidently enjoyed "teasing the geese," because he used it once again in the ball scene of his ballet Romeo and Juliet (never mind that a Gavotte is as much out of place in a medieval ballroom as in an eighteenthcentury symphony).
Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 18
Sergei Rachmaninoff Bow April 1, 1873, Novgorod DiedMarh28,1943, Bemly Hills, California
Rachmaninoff was born in the gloomiest period Russia had experienced for over a century. All the sublime efforts of the generation that had entertained such high hopes in the 1 870s had ended in defeat. The great social reforms (including the abolition of serfdom in 1 861) brought about by Alexander II were looked upon as grave mistakes. The reactionary elements that rallied around Alexander III after
the assassination of his liberalminded father in 1 881 tolerated no opposition. The new emperor counteracted the liberalism of his father's reign by indicating he had no intention of limiting or weakening the aristocratic power inherited from his ancestors. A feeling of hopeless despair was shared by the young "intellectuals," whose inability to solve problems of renovation or to break the inertia of the masses soon became tragically appar?ent. Their loss of faith in the future, the destruction of their illusions, was impressively reflected in the short stories of Vsevolod Garshin and in the nostalgic fiction and drama of Anton Chekhov.
Rachmaninoff, like so many young men living in Moscow at the turn of the century, suffered from the contagion of his times. His melan?choly turn of mind and pessimistic outlook offered little protection against the disappoint?ments and frustrations he met at the outset of his career as a composer. His first symphony, written in 1 895 ana produced in St. Peters?burg, was a complete failure, receiving one performance and never heard again in his lifetime. [Whether or not he destroyed the score, it disappeared, and only during the 1940s was it reconstructed from the set of orchestral parts that had been kept in the Leningrad Conservatory.]
.This failure of his symphony threw the young composer into the depths of despair. In his memoirs, he writes:
"I returned to Moscow a changed man. My confidence in myself had received a sudden blow. Agonizing hours spent in doubt and hard thinking had brought me to the conclusion that I thought to give up composing. I was obviously unfitted to it, and therefore it would be better if I made an end to it at once.
"I gave up my room and returned to Satins' [close friends of the composer]. A paralysing apathy possessed me. I did nothing at all and found no pleasure in anything. My only occupation consisted of a few piano lessons which I was forced to give in order to keep myself alive. This condition lasted more than a year. I did not live; I vegetated, idle and hopeless. The thought or spending my life as a piano teacher gave me cold shudders. Once or twice, I was asked to play at concerts. I did this, and had some success. But of what use was it to me The opportunities came my way so seldom that I could not rely upon them for my existence. Nor could I hope that the Conservatoire would offer me a situation as a pianoforte teacher."
In 1898, Rachmaninoff had great success in London conducting and playing the piano, but continued to remain in a depressed mental state. In 1900, the Satins sent him to a psychiatrist by the name of Dr. N. Dahl:
"My relatives had told Dr. Dahl that he must at all costs cure me of my apathetic condition and achieve such results that I would again begin to compose. Dahl had asked what manner of composition they desired and had received the answer, 'a concerto for pianoforte,' for this I had promised to the people in London and had given it up in despair. Consequently I heard the same hypnotic formula repeated, day after day, while I lay half asleep in an armchair in Dahl's study. 'You will begin to write your concerto...You will work with great facility...The concerto will be of an excellent quality..." It was always the same, without interruption. Although it may sound incredible, his cure really helped me. Already at the beginning of the summer I began again to compose. The material grew in bulk, and new musical ideas began to stir within me -far more than I needed for my concerto. By the autumn I had finished two movements of the concerto -the Andante and the Finale -and a sketch for a suite for two pianofortes. The two movements of the concerto I played during the same autumn at a charity concert directed by Siloti...they had a gratifying success. This buoyed up my selfconfidence so much that I began to compose again with great keenness. By the spring I had already finished the first movement or the concerto and the suite for two pianofortes.
"I felt that Dr. Dahl's treatment had strength?ened my nervous system to a miraculous degree. Out of gratitude I dedicated my second concerto to him. As the piece had had a great success in Moscow, everyone began to wonder what possible connection it coula have had with Dr. Dahl. The truth, however, was known only to Dahl, the Satins, and myself."
The Second Concerto needs no further explanation. It is among the most famous and familiar of all Rachmaninoff's compositions, and its facile melodies have even round their way into the popular music of our day.

Symphony No. 1
Charles Ives
Born October 20, 1874, Donbury, Connecticut
Died May 19, 1954, New York (ily
Charles Ives wrote his First Symphony between 1 895 and 1 898; Richard Bales led the first performance, April 26, 1953, in Washington, D.C. The score calls for two flutes, two oboes (one doubling English horn), two clarinets, two bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, and strings (duration: 37 minutes).
It is difficult to think of a composer who has derived much benefit from a college education, and easy to name some who did well to escape it. Would Bach, for example, have been any greater a composer or had any sharper an intellect, had he been put to the study of the law, as his contemporaries Handel and Telemann were
For Charles Ives, a thoroughgoing original, the best that can be said was that he slid through his four years at Yale without the experience doing him any harm. His skills as a composer and pianist made him indispensable for trie musicals staged each year by his fraternity, Delta Kappa Epsilon. While in New Haven, he had the chance to continue his organplaying at Center Church, where the choirmaster even tolerated some of his farout harmonic excur?sions in accompanying the hymns (shades of Bach in Arnstadt!). And if Horatio Parker, under whose tutelage Ives studied music, was rigidly conservative and Germanic in his tastes, at least Ives did learn some discipline from him.
One of the tasks Parker assigned his pupil was to make new settings of poems that had been previously set by the accepted masters, such as Brahms. Here, at least, Ives scored a few points over his teacher, who complained that his setting of Feldeinsamkeit (best known in the Brahms version) moved through too many keys. But George Chadwick, Parker's own teacher, stopped through New Haven one day and sat in on Parker's class. He was effusive in his praise of Ives' Feldeinsamkeit, which he proclaimed "almost as good a song as Brahms'," to the discomfiture of Parker.
Privately, Ives expressed his opinions of Parker's fuddyduddy ways in no uncertain terms. On the sketch of a fugue for organ assigned by his teacher, he wrote "a stupid fugue on a stupid subject." According to his later recollections, Ives "got a little fed up on too much counter?point and classroom exercises," but at least in public, he did not challenge his teacher.
Not long after entering Yale, Ives began work on a symphony, which took shape movement by movement over the next four years. This would be his senior thesis, and when he showed it to Parker, the older man was
fjredictably appalled. In its original form, the irst subject of the first movement went through "six or eight keys," Ives wrote, "so Parker made me write another first movement." This was polite enough to satisfy Parker, but Ives found it inferior to his original, and persuaded Parker to let him return to his first ideas if he promised to end in the same key in which he had begun.
And so it went: Ives bringing in a movement at a time, Parker ripping it to slireds, Ives grudgingly making cnanges. Ives duly receivedhis degree, but by then he had concluded that to make a living at music would involve impossible compromises, and he settled on a career as an insurance agent. From Ives' bandmaster father came the attitude that "a man could keep his music interest keener, stronger, bigger, and freer if he didn't try to make a living out of it. Assuming that a man lives by himself with no dependents, no one to feed but himself, and is willing to live as simply as Thoreau, he might write music that no one would play prettily, listen to, or buy. But -if he has a wife and some nice children, how can he let his children starve on his dissonances So he has to weaken (and if he is a man should weaken for his children): But his music...more than weakens -it goes tata for money! Bad for him, bad for music!"
Ives made no compromises in the other three symphonies he wrote, and though the First, Second, and Third were performed during his lifetime, the knotty Fourth had to wait a decade longer, and only recently have all four Ives symphonies begun to be seen in perspective, as the record of an American composer finding his own voice in the wilderness.
Even the conservative Parker could have found few faults in the first movement, a symphonic waltz of the type Tchaikovsky had made his own. What is most amazing, from the pen of an avowed musical rebel, is the elegance of the partwriting, the transparency of the orchestration. Formally, too, the movement is exquisitely balanced, never staying too long in one place, and building up to a climax so skillfully integrated into the movement that it nearly surpasses a similar one in Dvorak's New World Symphony, first heard in New York just a year before Ives began work on his First.
Master and pupil wrangled even more over the second movement, which started in the far?away key of Gflat. No problem for Ives, whose father had toughened his ears by making him play hymns with the right hand in one key and the left in another. But in a graduation exercise, this would not do, so Ives replaced his original slow movement with a more conventional one in the politer key of F. Thirty years later, Ives was still grumbling that his original inspiration was better after all, but today, we can marvel at his skill in melodic variation and in orchestration. Particularly telling is the use of the English horn, which he uses just enough to color the movement, not so much that its distinctive voice grows tiresome.
Both Ives' organplaying and his counterpoint lessons with Parker bore fruit in the symphony's Scherzo, in which the voices enter as neatly as in any textbook. The spirit of the waltz hovers here, too, but does not make itself obvious until the trio, which gently recalls the second theme of the opening movement.
There is more reminiscence in the finale, which brings back material from both the first and second movements. If there was any doubt about Ives' ability to control a great musical expanse, it is dispelled here. The movement is both leisurely and purposeful, not a note wasted, and building up to a rousing, marchlike conclusion that must have gladdened the heart of a composer who sneered at the purveyors of parlor music for "Rollo" -Ives' personification of the timid listener with toodelicate ears.
Andre Watts, piano
Andre Watts burst upon the music world at the age of 16 when Leonard Bernstein asked him to substitute at the last minute for the
ailing Glenn Gould in performances of Liszt's Eflat Concerto with the New York Philharmonic. Only two weeks before, he had been chosen by Bernstein to appear in their Young People's Concerts, broadcast nation?wide on CBS. In
the intervening years, Mr. Watts has become one of today's most celebrated and beloved superstars.
Known by millions though his many television appearances, Mr. Watts presented the first fulllength solo recital in television history with his 1976 PBS Sunday afternoon telecast on "Live from Lincoln Center." Other TV appearances include an internationally telecast United Nations Day Performance; BBC presentations with the London Symphony; and performances with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, and Indianapolis Symphony. During the 198788 season, PBS broadcast his 25th anniversary concert from Lincoln Center in performances with the New York Philharmonic and Zubin Mehta.
An active recording artist, Mr. Watts has recently completed two solo albums on the EMIAngel label. Other recent discs include two solo albums of Liszt, which won the Grand Prix du Disc Liszt in Europe; and a live record?ing of his 25th Anniversary recital, "Andre Watts at Carnegie Hall."
A muchhonored artist, Mr. Watts is the youngest person ever to receive an honorary doctorate from Yale University. Other awards include the 1984 Peabody Conservatory Distinguished Alumni Award; the 1988 Avery Fisher Award; and induction into the Philadel?phia Music Foundation Hall of Fame.
This evening's concert marks Andre Watts' eighth visit to Ann Arbor since 1969 as he performs in his third May Festival.

Fortyfourth Concert of the 113th Season Ninetyninth Annual May Festival
Program Notes
By Michael Fleming
Symphony No. 6 in D major, Op. 60
Antonin Dvorak Born September 8, 1841, Helahozeves, Bohemia Died May I, 1904, Prague
Adolf Cech conducted the Prague Philharmonic in the first performance of Dvorak's Symphony in D major on March 25, 1 881. When Fritz Simrock published it later that year in Berlin--it was the first of Dvorak's symphonies to be published-he gave it the opus number 60. The score calls for two flutes (one doubling piccolo), two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani and strings (duration: 40 minutes).
Fame came late to Antonin Dvorak, and not without opposition. As a Czech composer in the AustroHungarian empire, he was both blessed and cursed: on the one hand, there was a rising tide of Czech nationalism that buoyed up works by native composers; on the other, the power of the press and publishers lay in the Germanspeaking part of the Empire, and Dvorak always had mixed feelings about trimming his music to Germanic tastes.
He was thirtysix when he applied for the fourth time for a stipend from the Ministry of Educa?tion, submitting his Stabat Mater. This time, he was successful, thanks in no little part to the influence of Brahms and of Eduard Hanslick, the music critic for the Neue Freie Presse in Vienna. Writing to announce the award of 600 gulden, Hanslick ended his letter with the advice that "it would be advantageous for your things to become known beyond your narrow Czech fatherland, which in any case does not do much for you."
True as Hanslick's advice was, it was a bitter pill for Dvorak to swallow, and throughout his career, he would struggle to maintain his Czech identity. When his first works were published by Fritz Simrock in Berlin, he insisted that the Czech form of his name, Antonin, appear on the title page. And he persistently turned down commissions to write Germanlanguage operas, which would have given him an instant entree to Vienna. International fame came first from his first set of Slavonic Dances, which the Berlin critic Louis Ehlert proclaimed to be "a work which will make its way around the world," praising the "heavenly naturalness [which] flows through this music." So successful were the Dances, that Simrock was persuaded to publish in addition the Slavonic Rhapsodies, the
Bagatelles, and the Serenade in D minor for winds. By the beginning of 1 879, the Dances had been performed as far away as Boston, and the Rhapsodies soon became as popular.
In November of that year, Dvorak went to Vienna, where the Philharmonic under Hans Richter played the Third Slavonic Rhapsody. It was "very much liked," he reported in a letter to a friend, "and I was obliged to show myself to the audience. I was sitting next to Brahms by the organ in the orchestra, and Richter pulled me out. I had to come. I must tell you that I won the sympathy of the whole orchestra, and of all the novelties they considered, they liked my Rhapsody best."
The next day, Richter invited the members of the orchestra and Dvorak to a banquet to celebrate his success, asking him then and there for a symphony for the Vienna Philharmonic's next season. Dvorak was delighted: though he had written five sympho?nies, none of them had been published. Between August and October, Dvorak finished his symphony, ending it with his customary acclamation, "thanks be to God."
A performance was first planned for the day after Christmas, but there was insufficient rehearsal time, so the premiere was postponed until the following March. Now began a series of excuses from Richter: his mother and two of his children had contracted diphtheria, which had interfered with his work. In fact, the members of the Philharmonic had objected to playing a new work by a Czech composer two seasons in a row. Impatient with Richter's procrastination, Dvorak offered the premiere to Adolf Cech, who led the first performance in Prague on March 25, 1 881. Richter remained a loyal supporter, however, and when the symphony was printed, Dvorak dedicated it to him. A footnote to history: since this was the first of Dvorak's symphonies to be published, it became known as his Symphony No. 1, and as such it was generally known until the earlier symphonies were published, the real First Symphony in C minor having to wait until 1955.
Many writers have found it irresistible to compare the first movement of this symphony to the corresponding one in Brahms' Second, written two years earlier. The two do share th same key, D major; and the same triple meter and an opening theme built on a simple triad. But there, much of the similarity ends. While Brahms begins his Dmajor Symphony with a nod of the cellos and basses, then plunges right into the opening theme, Dvorak indulges in some preliminary deepknee bends, with the theme only gradually taking shape. And there is no confusing the Brahmsian orchestra, with its somber colors, with Dvorak's, which is alive with the sounds of the woodland.
For the second movement, Beethoven is often the point of comparison, specifically the slow movement of his Ninth Symphony. That is a rare compliment, but in fact, Dvorak's Adagio is a much more homely movement, hardly departing from the friendly main theme. Sir Donald Tovey, in his commentary on this symphony (which he knew as Dvorak's First), makes much of the composer's naivete. That is not an inappropriate word to use here, for if Beethoven's slow movements more and more reached toward the heavens, Dvorak's always kept a foot on the ground.
The Scherzo is subtitled "furiant," the first time Dvorak uses this folk dance in his music. The game here is to keep the listener guessing, with a meter that is a merry mixture of twos and threes. At the beginning of the movement, the composer asks the second flutist to set his or her instrument aside for the piccolo. At first, this merely adds spice to the flute line, but in the Trio, it comes into its own, with a sprightly and wideranging melody against the sound of sustained winds ana plucked strings.
The finale has also been subjected to compari?sons with the one in Brahms' Dmajor Sym?phony, and here the parallel is closer, with a quick, hushed opening, moving gradually into full light. In some of his later symphonies, even the New World, Dvorak lost his composure in the finale, but here, he never makes a false step. This movement, Tovey aptly writes, "is a magnificent crown to this noble work, and is admirably endowed with that quality that is rarest of all in postclassical finales, the power of movement."

His next recital album is of selected Lieder by Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Mendelssohn, and Liszt for CBC Enterprises.
Now, Kevin McMillan gives his first performance in Ann Arbor.
Carmina Burana
Carl Orf f Born July 11, 1895, Munich Died March 29,1982, Munich
Carmina Burana was first performed June 8, 1937, at the Stadtische Buhnen in Frankfurt am Main. The score calls for soprano, tenor, and baritone soloists; brief solos by two tenors, baritone, and two basses, small and large chorus, and boys' chorus; and an orchestra comprising three flutes (two doubling piccolo), three oboes (one doubling English horn), two clarinets (one doubling bass clarinet), two bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, five large timpani and one small one, celesta, two pianos, three glockenspiels, xylophone, castanets, rattle, jingles, triangles, two antique cymbals, four cymbals (crash and suspended), tamtam, three bells, tubular bells, tambourine, two side drums, bass drum, and strings (duration: 65 minutes).
No less than Respighi, Carl Orff was a devotee of early music, though his increasing interest in its purely theatrical side invariably led him in a different direction. One intriguing point of contact between the two: in 1925, ten years before Respighi undertook a similar task, Orff arranged Monteverdi's Orfeo for modern performance. He had done similar work for the Lamento d'Arianna and the 8ao delle ingrate, so both the spirit and the repertoire of the Italian Baroque were at least as familiar to him as to Respighi.
Where they parted company was in Orff's insistence on a total work of art, in which scenery and movement would play crucial roles, and music would be only one element among many. During the 1930s, he had followed closely the work of such dancers as Mary Wigman, and by the time he wrote Carmina Burana, in 1935 and 1936, he had become convinced that "the theater is the only place where words, music and gesture can make their full impact. I have never been concerned with music as such, but rather with music as 'spiritual discussion.' I think in terms of musical 'gestures' rather than in abstractions."
Those words might serve as an introduction to Carmina Burana, which he considered the beginning of his mature work, writing to his publisher that everything he had written before that might as well be destroyed. The texts of the Carmina, written in Medieval Latin, Middle High German, and Old French, come from a thirteenthentury manuscript discovered in
1 803 in the monastery of Benediktbeuren, hence the title Carmina Burana: "Songs of Beuren." The manuscript was first published in 1 847, but scholars could not, and for the most part, still cannot, read the musical notation. The neums that accompany the text -descendants of the accent marks in late Greek -indicate the rise and fall of the melody, but not its precise pitches. Modern performermusicologists have exercised great ingenuity in reconstructing the melodies, relying in part on other copies in more precise notation, in part, on pure guesswork. Anyone who cares to hear what these songs may have sounded like to a thirteenthcentury listener can do no better than seek out the recordings of the Studio der fruhen Musik, a group coincidentally based at one time in Orff's own city of Munich.
Not a note of the original music has found its way into Orff's score. Rather, he has con?cocted imaginary medieval music, as it might sound to a twentiethcentury listener. The orchestra, too, is his own creation, with strings reduced to a subsidiary role, winds only slightly more prominent, and a massive percussion battery powerfully underlining the beat and coloring the score.
The most famous parts of Carmina Burana are the massive choruses, with their chugging rhythm, such as the paean to Fortune that opens and closes the work. But there are other styles to be savored: the broad parody of liturgical chant in the song of the Abbot of Cucany; and the timeless lyricism of much of the music from the "courtly love" section. Ironically, this wholly modern recreation of the Middle Ages has had a more enduring life than Respighi's somewhat more literal tran?scriptions from the Renaissance and Baroque. If there is any lesson there, it is one that the wandering studentpoets who wrote the Carmina would have endorsed: if you sin, sin boldly.
Part I celebrates the glories of spring, and is divided into two subsections. The first, Primo vere ("In Springtime"), comprises three songs welcoming the season; the second, Ufdem Anger ("On the Green"), begins with a rumbustious Dance, the only piece without voices in the entire work, and continues with four increasingly lusty choral songs.
Part II, In Tabema, is a sequence of drinking songs for the two male soloists and male chorus. Most striking here are the plaint of a roasting swan (tenor, falsetto) and the song of the Abbot of Cucany, a parody of Gregorian chant for the baritone and chorus.
Part III, Cow a"Amours ("The Court of Love") is an intoxicating glorification of youth and pleasure, rewarding the solo soprano for her patience through the preceding sections with some stunning (and challenging) opportunities for display. If the rollicking and insinuating Tempus est jocundum (in which the baritone and the boys have the most fun) is the single most ingratiating portion of the score, the soprano's Dulcissime, which follows to conclude Part III, is surely the most brilliant.
Blanziflor et Helena follows Part III as a brief intermezzo, leading to a reprise of the opening O Fortuna as epilogue.

O Fortune
0 Fortune, like the moon changing shape, you constantly wax or wane;
a hateful life
weighs us down
and then cures us,
making a game of our thoughts,
poverty

Fate both fearsome
and empty,
you are a turning wheel.
Difficulty
and vain happiness
are both dissolved.
Covered in clouds
and veiled,
you threaten me;
Now by chance
my bare back
is turned to your wickedness.
Good fortune
and virtue
are now turned from me.
Affection
and defeat
are always at your service.
Right now,
without delay,
pluck the string;
since by fate
the strong man is overthrown,
weep with me, all of you!

1 bewail the wounds of fortune
with brimming eyes,
for the rebellious one
has taken her gifts from me.
It is true that one reads
with a full head of hair,
but then by chance
you turn bald.
On Fortune's seat
I was lifted up,
crowned with the blossoms
of prosperity.
But though I bloomed,
happy and blessed,
now I am struck down from on high
deprived of glory.
The wheel of fortune turns;
Fortune rota volvitur: descendo minoratus; alter in altum toltitur; nimis exaltatus rex sedet in vertice -caveat ruinam! nam sub axe legimus Hecubam reginam.

Reclining on Flora's bosom
Phoebus smiles again,
and he is attended by flowers of every
sort.
Zephyrus, breathing
the scented fragrance.
Striving for the prize,
let us hurry to love.
Sweet Philomel
sings her sweet song.
The field smiles,
serene in her flowers.
A pleasant flock of birds
rises from the woods.
The chorus of maidens
brings a thousand joys.

The Sun Tempers All Things
The sun tempers all things pure and subtle. In a new world, April reveals her face. The mistress' spirit hurries to love, and the boygod rules over the joyful. Such great renewal of things at spring's solemnity and spring's authority bid us be joyful.
Spring offers our accustomed paths and in your springtime there is faithfulness and honor in keeping one's lover. Love me faithfully, note my own faithfulness. With my whole heart and whole mind I am with you

Behold Pleasant Spring
Behold pleasant
and longawaited spring,
which brings back pleasures
and with purple flowers
decks the fields.
The sun makes all peaceful,
let sadness depart.
Summer comes,
and now flees
the winter's harshness.
Now melts and decreases
hail, ice and snow.
The mist flees,
and now spring
suckles at the breasts of
summer.
He is troubled at heart
who does not live and
rejoice,
in the embrace of summer.
They rejoice
and take pleasure in you,
in your honeyed sweetness --
those who seek
and take advantage of
Cupid's prize;
At Venus' command,
let us rejoice
and take our pleasure,
equals to Paris.

Burning inside
Burning inside with a raging anger
in amaritudine loquor mee menti: factus de materia, cinis elementi similis sum folio, de quo ludunt venti. Cum sit enim proprium viro sapienti supra petram ponere sedem fundamenti, stultus ego comparor fluvio labenti sub eodem tramite nunquam permanent!. Feror ego veluti sine nauta navis, ut per vias aeris vaga fertur avis; non me tenent vincula, non me tenet clavis, quero mihi similes, et aniungor pravis. Mihi cordis gravitas res videtur gravis; iocus est amabilis dulciorque favis; quicquid Venus imperat, labor est suavis, que nunquam in cordibus habitat ignavis. Via lata gradior more iuventutis, inplicor et vitiis immemor virtutis, voluptatis avidus magis quam salutis, mortuus in anima curam gero cutis.

in bitterness
I talk to myself:
made of the material
of elemental dust
I am like a leaf
blown by the winds.
Though it is proper
for a wise man
to build his foundation
on a rock,
I am a fool,
like a wandering river
never staying
in the same path.
I am carried along
like a ship without a sail,
as a migratory bird is carried
through the sky;
no chains bind me,
no key locks me in,
I seek those like me
and join the depraved.
To me the burdens of my heart
seem a grave matter;
a joke is pleasant
and sweeter than the honeycomb;
whatever Venus commands,
her work is a delight
and she never dwells
in listless hearts.
I move along the broad path
in the way of youth,
and I am tangled up in vices
heedless of virtue,
eager for pleasure
more than for salvation,
dead in soul
I take care of my body.

Once, I dwelt in the lake
Once, I dwelt in the lake,
then I was beautiful
when I was a swan.
Wretched, wretched!
Now charred
and roasted to a cinder.
The spitboy turns and turns me,
the pyre burns me through;
and the waiter carries me in.
Wretched, wretched!
Now charred
and roasted to a cinder.
Now I lie on the platter
and cannot fly,
I see the gnashing of teeth.
Wretched, wretched.
Now charred
and roasted to a cinder.

In taberna quando sumus
In taberna quando sumus, non curamus quid sit humus, sed ad ludum properamus, cui semper insudamus. Quid agatur in taberna, ubi nummus est pincerna, hoc est opus ut queratur, si quid loquar, audiatur. Quidam ludunt, quidam bibunt, quidam indiscrete vivunt. Sed in ludo qui morantur, ex his quidam denudantur, quidam ibi vestiuntur,
Juidam saccis induuntur. i nullus timet mortem, sed pro Bacho mittunt sortem. Primo pro nummata vini; ex hanc bibunt libertini, semel bibunt pro captivis, post hec bibunt ter pro vivis, quater pro Christianis cunctis, quinquies pro fidelibus defunctis, sexies pro sororibus vanis, septies pro militibus silvanis. Octies pro katribus perversis, nonies pro monachis dispersis, decies pro navigantibus, undecies pro penitentibus, tredecies pro Her angentibus. Tarn pro papa quam pro rege bibunt omnes sine lege. Bibit hera, bibit herus, biti miles, bibit clerus, bibit ille, bibit ilia, bibit servus cum ancilla, bibit velox, bibit piger, bibit albus, bibit niger, bibit constans, bibit vagus, bibit rudus, bibit magus.

I am the Abbot of Cucany
I am the Abbot of Cucany
and my council is with drinkers,
and my pleasure is in the sect of Decius,
and if someone comes looking for me
in the tavern in the morning,
he will leave naked by evening, and thus
stripped of his garments, he will cry:
Wafna, wafna! What has miserable fate done
to me It has taken away all life's pleasures.
14.
In the Tavern
When we are in the tavern
we don't care about the grave
but we hasten to our games
over which we sweat.
What happens in the taverns,
where a coin brings a drink,
here is what you want to hear:
when I tell you, listen.
Some gamble, some drink,
some live indiscreetly.
But of those who stay in the game,
some will be stripped naked,
some get dressed here,
some put on sackcloth.
Here, none fears death,
but casts lots for wine.
First they throw for the price of a glass,
this the libertines drink.
Once they drink for the prisoners,
after this, they drink three times for the living,
four times for all Christians,
five for the faithful departed,
six times for the vain nuns,
seven times for the woodland soldiers.
Eight times for the delinquent brethren,
nine times for dispersed monks,
ten times for the sailors,
eleven for those in battle,
twelve for the penitent,
thirteen for travelers.
Then for the pope and the king,
they all drink without restraint.
The mistress drinks, and the master,
the soldier drinks, and the clerk,
the man drinks, and the woman,
the servant drinks, and the maid,
quick or lazy, they both drink,
white and black, they drink,
the steady man drinks, and the tipsy one,
the yokel and the sage.
The poor man drinks, and the sick one,
the exile and the unknown,
the boy and the old man,
the bisnop and the dean,
the sister drinks, and the brother,
the old crone and the mother,
bibunt centum, bibunt mille. Parum sexcente nummate durant cum immoderate bibunt omnes sine meta. Quamvis bibant mente eta; sic nos rodunt omnes gentes, et sic erimus egentes. Qui nos rodunt confundantur et cum iustis non scribantur.

Eia.
this one drinks, that one drinks,
a hundred drink, a thousand drink.
Six hundred coins don't last long
when they drink themselves silly
and without stopping.
Although they drink with a merry heart,
everyone criticizes us,
and thus we are poor.
Let our critics be confounded
and stricken from the book of the just.
III. The Court of Love 15.
Love flies everywhere
Love flies everywhere,
and is seized by desire.
Young men and women
properly come together.
If anyone is without a companion,
she has no fun.
Deepest night
inside he holds her heart captive:
a bitter thing.
16.
Night, day, and everything
Night, day, and everything
is against me,
girls' talk
makes me weep,
I often hear sighing
and it makes me more afraid.
O friends, be merry,
tell whatever you know,
but have mercy on me, a wretch,
in great sorrow.
But give me counsel
for your honor.
Your lovely face
makes me weep a thousand tears.
Your heart is ice;
it must be changed.
At once I would come to life
with a kiss.
17.
There stood a girl

and her mouth flowered.

Circa me pectora
Circa mea pectora multa sunt suspiria de tua pulchritudine, que me ledunt misere. Manda liet, manda liet, min geselle chumet niet. Tui lucent oculi sicut solis radii, sicut splendor fulguris lucem donat tenebris. Manda liet, manda liet, min geselle chumet niet. Vellet deus, vellent dii, quod mente proposui, ut eius virginea reserassem vincula. Manda liet, manda liet, min geselle chumet niet.

In trutina
In trutina mentis dubia

Sed eligo quod viedo,

In my heart
are many sighs
for your beauty,
and these sighs
wound me sorely.
Manda liet,
manda liet,
my sweetheart
does not come.
Your eyes shine
like the rays of the sun,
like the splendor of lightning,
they illuminate the darkness.
Manda liet,
manda liet,
my companion
does not come.
May God grant, all the gods,
what I have in mind:
to undo the chains
of her virginity.
Manda liet,
manda liet,
my companion
does not come.
19.
If a boy and a girl
If a boy and a girl
linger in a little room,
this is a happy union.
Love increases,
and from their midst,
boredom is driven away,
there is unspeakable pleasure
for their limbs, their arms, their lips.
20.
Come, come, oh come
Come, come, oh come, don't let me die, hyrca, hyrca nazaza, trillirivos. . . Your face is beautiful, the glint of your eyes, the plaits of your hair,
0 how beautiful you are! Ruddier than a rose, fairer than a lily,
more beautiful than any other,
1 shall always glory in you!
21.
In the Balance
In the balance of my doubtful heart
contraries pull back and forth:
earthly love and chastity.
But I choose what I see,
I bend my neck to the yoke:
to the yoke that is, after all, so sweet.

The Season is Pleasant
The season is pleasant,
0 maidens,
now rejoice together, you young men. Oh -oh,
1 am bursting into bloom, I am burning
with youthful love,
in a new, new love
I perish.
When she yields,
she comforts me.
But when she refuses,
she banishes me.
Oh -oh,
I am bursting into bloom,
I am burning
with youthful love,
in a new, new love
I perish.
In winter time
a man is patient,
but in spring,
his heart is lusty.
Oh -oh,
I am bursting into bloom,
I am burning
with youthful love,
in a new, new love
I perish.
My virginity
plays games with me,
but by simplicity
restrains me.
Oh -oh,
I am bursting into bloom,
I am burning
with youthful love,
in a new, new love
I perish.
Come, my darling,
with pleasure,
come, come, my fair one,
I am perishing.
Oh--oh,
I am bursting into bloom,
I am burning
with youthful love,
in a new, new love
I perish.

Fortune, the Ruler of the World 25.
O Fortune
O Fortune,
like the moon
changing shape,
you constantly wax
or wane;
a hateful life
weighs us down
and then cures us,
making a game of our thoughts,
poverty
and power
she dissolves like snow.
Fate both fearsome
and empty,
you are a turning wheel.
Difficulty
and vain happiness
are both dissolved.
Covered in clouds
and veiled,
you threaten me;
Now by chance
my bare back
is turned to your wickedness.
Good fortune
and virtue
are now turned from me.
Affection
and defeat
are always at your service.
Right now,
without delay,
pluck the string;
since by fate
the strong man is overthrown,
weep with me, all of you!
Thomas Hilbish
Professor Emeritus of Music and Director Emeritus of University Choirs at the University of Michigan, Thomas Hilbish is also serving as
interim director of The Festival Chorus and the University Choral Union. Throughout his career, he has established himself as one of America's leading conductors of choral music. After earning degrees at the University of Miami and Westminster Choir
College, Professor Hilbish spent 16 years as supervisor of music at the Princeton Public Schools before joining the UM School of Music faculty in 1965. There, he formed the Univer?sity or Michigan Chamber Choir, which became internationally recognized for its excellence as it toured through Italy, the Soviet Union, Spain, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary. The Chamber Choir made several recordings, one of which -Menotti's The Unicorn, the Gorgan, and the Manticore -received a Grammy nomination in 1981.
Professor Hilbish has prepared choirs for many distinguished conductors, including Robert Shaw, Thomas Schippers, Leonard Bernstein, Kurt Masur, and tonight for Neeme Jarvi. He was selected on three occasions to conduct the United States University Chorus (drawn from ten universities) at Washington's Kennedy Center and New York's Lincoln Center for the International Choral Festival. Through the years, he has served as visiting lecturer in conducting at Indiana University, Western Michigan University, University of Wisconsin, Westminster Choir College, Princeton and Harvard Universities, Florida State University, University of California Los Angeles, and the University of Southern California.
Time magazine recognized Professor Hilbish for his skillful and authoritative conducting of difficult contemporary works, naming those by Stravinsky, Webern, and Schoenberg. This year, he adds Carl Orff's Carmina Burana to that list.
The Festival Chorus
Since its debut in the spring of 1970, The Festival Chorus has performed annually with distinguished orchestras and conductors from around the world. In addition to these perfor?mances in Ann Arbor, the Chorus has traveled abroad for three concert tours -to Europe in the 1976 bicentennial year, to Egypt in 1979, and to Spain in 1982.
In addition to its annual May Festival appear?ances and other performances with worldfamous visiting orchestras and conductors, The Festival Chorus has presented, numerous special concerts. Among them are Founders Day concerts, concerts of Schubert's songs and his Mass in Aflat, American folk songs and spirituals, and special oratorio concerts of Handel's Israel in Egypt and Judas Maccabaeus. Chorus members also partici?pated in the Tribute Concert salute to Donald Bryant in January 1990 and last year collabo?rated with the Ann Arbor Cantata Singers and the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra under Carl St. Clair to present Maurice Durufle's "Re?quiem."
This evening's performance of Carmina Burana is the last or four given by the Detroit Sym?phony Orchestra and The Festival Chorus; the previous three took place last weekend in Detroit's Orchestra Hall.
The longestablished choral tradition of the University Musical Society goes back to 1879, when a group of local church choir members gathered to sing choruses of Messiah. Soon after the first concert of the Choral Union (as the group was named) on December 16, 1 879, the University Musical Society came into being on February 24, 1880. Continuing this centuryold spirit of community collaboration, chorus membership remains open to all by audition, resulting in a mixture of townspeople, students, and faculty with a common love or music and singing.

The Boychoir of Ann Arbor
The Boychoir of Ann Arbor began in 1986 as a special project: to provide a boys' chorus for the production of Bernstein's "Mass" in January 1987; Dr. Thomas Strode formed the choir with this immediate goal in mind. But beyond that was the broader goal to create opportunities for musically gifted boys to become part of the 1,000yearold boychoir tradition. The choir performs music of the highest caliber and covers all periods of music. They have pre?sented concerts in "The Cathedral Tradition," concerts of Christmas music, and Viennese Masses of Schubert and Mozart, as well as performing in concerts with the Ann Arbor Symphony and with the Pittsburgh Symphony in the 1988 May Festival.
The Boychoir of Ann Arbor began its current season last October with a "Choral Evensong," a celebration of the Feast of All Saints that reflected the cathedral repertoire heard in the great cathedrals and colleges of England. Most recently was their "Welcome to Spring" concert on March 22 that included a wide variety of selections: romantic songs by Schubert and Brahms, specially arranged American folk songs, and music of Marcello, Faure, Couperin, George Dyson, and James Nares.
Future plans for the choir include touring in the Midwest and a Michigan Boychoir Festival in June of 1993 with boychoirs from Grand Rapids and Battle Creek. The Boychoir of Ann Arbor now makes its third appearance for the University Musical Society.

Have We Met Before
Looking back at past May Festival programs, something about the 1976 Festival caught our attention. Namely, mezzosoprano Marilyn Home, pianist Andre Watts, and composer Leslie Bassett. These three artists featured in this 99th Annual May Festival also had joined forces in 1976 with The Philadelphia Orchestra, Eugene Ormandy, and guest conductor Aaron Copland for the 83rd Annual May Festival. May we meet yet again.

UMS Ushers
Absolute chaos. That is what would ensue without ushers to help concertgoers find their seats at UMS performances. Ushers serve the essential function of assisting patrons with seating and distributing program books. With their help, concerts begin peacefully and pleasantly.
The UMS Usher Corps is comprised of 275 individuals who volunteer their time to make concertgoing easier. Music lovers from the community and the university constitute this valued group headed by Usher Coordinator Jane Stanton. The allvolunteer group attends an orientationtraining session each fall. Ushers are responsible for working at every UMS concert in a particular hall (Rackham, Hill, or Power) for the entire concert season. Usher signups occur at the end of the first week of September at the Hill Auditorium box office.
But the ushers must enjoy their work, because 85 of them return to volunteer each year. In fact some ushers have served for 30 years or longer.
Bravi Ushers!
