Dear Patrons and Friends,
It is both a humbling experience and a great privilege to be the steward of the University Musical Society at this point in its history. From the vision and boldness of Albert Stanley who in 1894 announced the "first annual" Ann Arbor May Festival through the inspired leadership of past presidents Charles Sink and Gail Rector, it has been the goal of the Musical Society to bring the best of the performing arts to the people of Ann Arbor and the state of Michigan.
With this year's 100 May Festival, we have sought not only to honor the great traditions of the past but to try out some new programs that we believe will widen our circle of friends. So in addition to the great orchestras, soloists, and composers that you'll hear in Hill Auditorium on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, you can gather with your friends on Saturday for the Gala Centennial Dinner in the Reading Room of the Rackham Building and then stroll over to the Michigan League for cabaret performances, dessert, dancing, conversation, and viewing the special film produced for this anniversary celebration. We don't want you to miss a thing, so read the daily schedule carefully and come join us for the myriad of events.
There are some special people and organizations who have made extraordinary contributions to this 100Ih May Festival. I want to give personal thanks to:
Ford Motor Company for their generous underwriting gift of the entire 100 May Festival;
Handleman Company for their support of the Sunday concert with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and the University Choral Union;
University Musical Society Board of Directors for their service, advice, and support;
UMS staff for their imagination, dedication, and highquality work;
UMS Advisory Committee May Festival Chair Liz Yhouse, her event committee chairs, and all of the committee members for their splendid work on the Prelude Picnic Buffet, Gala Centennial Dinner, Cabaret Ball, and Ingalls Mall Birthday Celebration;
University Choral Union members for their dedicated service and for their cooperation in enabling us to present the Verdi Requiem and conductor Thomas Hilbish for three years of outstanding leadership of the chorus.
Thank you for your participation in the 100 May Festival. Enjoy this program book, enjoy the Festival, and come join us again in the fall when we begin our 115 season.
With appreciation.

May, 1993
It has been quite a year for the University of Michigan. We are celebrating the 175th anniversary of our founding; the launching of our $1 billion Campaign for Michigan; a Rose Bowl victory; participation in the national basketball championship game; and now the 100th year of our most distinguished annual cultural event, the Ann Arbor May Festival of the University Musical Society.
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the University and to the remarkable facilities where this year's events take place: Hill Auditorium, the Rackham Building, the Michigan League, and the Mendelssohn Theatre. It was eighty years ago on May 14,1913, that we held our first event in Hill Auditorium. It was the opening night of the twentieth May Festival featuring the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The architectural genius of Albert Kahn and the political acumen of Charles Sink combined to make Hill Auditorium one of the great concert halls of the worldan opinion shared by such distinguished musicians as Leonard Bernstein, Ignace Paderewski, James Galway, and YoYo Ma.
As I think of the significant role that the arts play here at the University, I am reminded of the curriculum of ancient youths. It included gymnastics, mathematics, and music. Gymnastics was to prepare the body for the journey through life. Mathematics was to help define the way. But it was music that would give them a reason for taking the journey. I believe we can take comfort in knowing that for a century the May Festival has provided profound experiences for hundreds of thousands of people and has deeply enriched their lives.
I congratulate the University Musical Society on this special anniversary, and I thank you, the patrons, for your participation and support.

Concert Guidelines To make concertgoing a more convenient and pleasurable experience for all patrons, the Musical Society has implemented the following policies and practices:
Starting Time for Concerts
The Musical Society will make every attempt to begin its performances on lime. Please allow ample time for parking. Ushers will seal latecomers at a predetermined lime in ihe program so as not to disturb performers or other patrons. House lights will be dimmed lo indicate that the concert is about to begin or resume.
Children
We welcome children, but very young children can be disruptive to a performance. Children must be three years of age and be able to sit quietly in their own seals throughout a performance. Children unable to do so, along wilh the adult accompanying them, may be asked by an usher lo leave the auditorium. Please use discretion in choosing to bring a child.
Remember, everyone must have a ticket, regardless of age.
Cameras and Recorders
Cameras and recording devices are strictly prohibited in the auditorium.
Applause
Traditionally, applause is held until the end of a piece of music. Each composer creates a work as a whole, which is often made up of several parts or movements. It is best not to disrupt the continuity of the music by applauding between movements, saving your appreciation until the end. The performers enjoy the audience's attention when performing, and the applause at the end. It is courteous to those on stage and to the other audience members to remain at your seats through the final ovation.
University Musical Society of the University of Michigan
The University Musical Society is one of the oldest continu?ing performing arts presenters ranking with Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Boston's Celebrity Series, and the Washing?ton Performing Arts Society at the Kennedy Center as among the finest presenters in the county.
The Musical Society began in 1879 when a group of singers from Ann Arbor churches gathered together to study and perform the choruses from Handel's Messiah under the leadership of Professor Henry Simmons Frieze and Professor Calvin B. Cady. The group soon became known as "The Choral Union" and gave its first concert in December 1879.
The Choral Union then led to the formation in 1880 of the University Musical Society whose name was derived from the fact that many members were affiliated with the University of Michigan. Professor Frieze, who at one time served as acting president of the University, became the first president of the Society. The Society comprised the Choral Union and a concert series that featured local and visiting artists and ensembles. Today, of course, the Choral Union refers not only to the chorus but to the Musical Society's acclaimed tenconcert series in Hill Auditorium.
The Musical Society now hosts approximately 50 concerts each season of the world's most acclaimed dance companies, chamber ensembles, recitalists, symphony orchestras, opera, popular attractions, and presentations from diverse cultures.
The Musical Society has flourished these 114 years with the support of a generous music and artsloving community, which has gathered in Hill and Rackham Auditoria and Power Center to experience the artistry of such extraordinary talents as Leonard Bernstein, Vienna Philharmonic Orches?tra, Martha Graham, Enrico Caruso, Jessye Norman, James Levine, Philadelphia Orchestra, Benny Goodman, Andres Segovia, Beaux Arts Trio, Alvin Ailey, and Chicago Symphony Qrchestra.
Under the leadership of only five directors in its history, the Musical Society has built a reputation of quality and tradition that is maintained and strengthened through educational endeavors, commissioning of new works, programs for young people, new concert offerings, and collaborative projects.
Although it is proudly affiliated with the University of Michigan and is housed on the Ann Arbor campus, the Musical Society is a separate, notforprofit organization, which supports itself from ticket sales, other earned income, income from endowments, and contributions.

Dear Friends:
As Governor of the State of Michigan, it is my pleasure to recognize the University Musical Society of the University of Michigan as it celebrates its 100th Ann Arbor May Festival.
During the past 100 years, the University Musical Society has showcased concerts which exemplify an uncompromising commitment to the highest quality in the performing arts. Through numerous programs to help educate our communities on the importance of the performing arts, the University Musical Society has provided us with the necessary resources to help preserve this vital form of entertainment in our state for many years to come. As in the past, I am sure this year's Ann Arbor May Festival will be a similar success.
Once again, on behalf of the citizens of the State of Michigan, I would like to congratulate the University Musical Society of the University of Michigan as you celebrate the centennial Ann Arbor May Festival. My best wishes for an enjoyable event.

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION COMMEMORATING THE 100TH ANN ARBOR MAY FESTIVAL, MAY 69, 1993
WHEREAS, From May 6 to May 9, 1993, the people of Michigan will again have the opportunity to enjoy one of the state's premiere music events, the Ann Arbor May Festival. This year marks a special milestone--the 100th May Festival--and it promises to continue a tradition of excellence that began in 1894. We are delighted to commemorate this centennial celebration and to commend the people of the University Musical Society (UMS) of the University of Michigan and the many performers for making this festival possible this year and every year; and
WHEREAS, In 1894, the May Musical Festival of the UMS was billed as "... one of the greatest musical events in the history of the state ... the beginning of a series of such events.' Clearly, there was much truth in the words written nearly a century ago. The festival is anxiously awaited each spring and a highlight of every year. It is a time to listen to a variety of concerts performed by diverse musicians, but all share impressive qualities--outstanding talent, the ability to move audiences, and an obvious love of music; and
WHEREAS, The 100th May Festival will certainly carry on the proud and successful history of this gathering. The audiences will hear such musicians as the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra with Itzhak Perlman and Renee Fleming, the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra with Jim Miller, Eartha Kitt, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and many others. The four days and nights of celebration will also include a prelude picnic buffet, gala centennial dinner, and the 100th May Festival Birthday Celebration. It will, again, be an unforgettable festival; and
WHEREAS, While much has changed in the world since the birth of the May Festival, this rite of spring" has never failed to offer the pleasure of beautiiul music to the fortunate audiences. Bringing the joy of excellent concerts to the people of Michigan for 100 festivals is a praiseworthy accomplishment indeed. We thank all of the musicians and organizers, past and present; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED BY THE SENATE (the House of Representatives concurring), That we commemorate the 100th Ann Arbor May Festival; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the members of the UMS as a reflection of our gratitude.
Adopted by the Senate, March 24, 1993.
Adopted by the House of Representatives, March 30, 1993.

House Resolution No. 125
Offered by Representative Lynn Riven
A RESOLUTION COMMEMORATING THE 100TH MAY FESTIVAL IN ANN ARBOR
WHEREAS, It is a great pleasure to join with the Ann Arbor community in commemorating the 100th May Festival in Ann Arbor. On May 69, 1993, the University of Michigan's University Musical Society will sponsor a weekend of events and programs that celebrate the inspiring impact of music on our lives. From the First Annual Musical Festival held in 1894 to this year's Centennial May Festival, this "rite of spring" has been an important part of the lives of countless music lovers in southeastern Michigan and beyond. Participation in the festival has maintained a link across nearly a century of time to kindred spirits in music of the late nineteenth century; and
WHEREAS, The rich tradition of the May Festival will be ably continued with the participation of many noteworthy singers and musicians as well as the presentation of unique and innovative pieces that challenge us anew to appreciate the diversity of music. From the opening Prelude Picnic Buffet (sans ants) that launches the celebration on Thursday, to the 100th May Festival Birthday Celebration on Sunday, veritable tonics to the ears and soul will be available to all. Truly, auch a festival helps to usher in a new season by lifting us from the doldrums of winter; and
WHEREAS, Such musical artistry as is performed by the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, which has served as the orchestra in residence since 1992, will complement the works of the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra with Jim Miller, Barbara Cook with Walley Harper, Eartha Kitt, and the Bess Bonnier Trio who will play at the Cabaret Ball. Classical music, opera, piano jazz, and a children's chorus all combine to perpetuate an amazing musical tradition. As Ann Arbor once again hosts the University Musical Society's May Festival on May 69, 1993, we honor our musical past while looking towards the future with innovations that may themselves one day be part of the rich tradition of the May Festival; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, That we join with the Ann Arbor community in commemorating the Centennial May Festival to be held May 69, 1993; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the members of the University Musical Society as a token of our highest regards.

On behalf of the citizens of Ann Arbor, I extend best wishes and congratulations to the University Musical Society of the University of Michigan as it celebrates its 100th Ann Arbor May Festival.
The long success of the May Festival is a tribute to the dedicated and committed leadership provided by the University Musical Society and the appreciation of the Ann Arbor community to be able to celebrate the work of successful performing artists. What better way to welcome spring than to stroll on the Ingalls Mall and revel at the performance of a world class symphony or an inspired soloist.
Thank you for bringing the sound of music to Ann Arbor each spring, and may we continue to be your appreciative audience forayother 100 years.
Very sin

Dear Ken,
It's an amazing thought that the University Musical Society is celebrating its 100th May Festival. Going through the archives of the past years is truly impressive, because the list of participating artists includes just about every important name in the world of music My own personal experiences in Ann Arbor have involved many happy visits to the festival. I have conducted the London Symphony Orchestra, the Pittsburgh Symphony and the Los Angeles Philharmonic My experiences with the chorus have been extremely happy. The unifying factor in all these various activities has been the unfailing bndness and hospitality shown us, the extraordinary enthusiasm of the audiences, and the meticulous attention to preparation and detail which you have lavished on all your visitors.
I send you my warmest congratulations as well as my gratitude, and I'm sure the May Festival williretehinto infinity!

Dear Ken:
Thanks in large part to the May Festival, my family and I have been a happy part of the University and Ann Arbor community for 22 years. While living in Westchester County, NY, I came to Ann Arbor to sing with the Philadelphia Orchestra in the 1970 May Festival. The chair of the School of Music voice depart?ment asked if I would be interested in joining their faculty. Months later, after completing the interview process, I became a very happy Michigander. So, heartfelt congratulations to the University Musical Society on the occasion of its 100th Ann Arbor May Festival! My happiness in Ann Arbor has been augmented by the many wonderful offerings the May Festival affords. I have been honored to be a participant in several of those Festivals, and extend the heartiest of best wishes to you, Ken, for future May Festivals, and gratitude to those responsible for the Festivals of the past.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Fischer:
My warmest congratulations to the University Musical Society on the occasion of the 100th Anniversary of the Ann Arbor May Festival.
Early in my career in 1968 I had the honor of perform?ing the 2nd Bartok Piano Concerto with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra at the May Festival, the memory of which still remains as one of the most rewarding musical events I have ever experienced.
During subsequent years I also performed in recital for the University Musical society, and among the programmed works was the World Premiere of Alberto Ginastera's 2nd Piano Sonata.
In the history of musical sponsorship in this country the University Musical society stands as the paradigm of excellence to be emulated by all others.
My heartiest congratulations and very best wishes for the next hundred years!

Dear Ken:
It is a great pleasure for me to extend my most sincere congratulations on the occasion of the 100th Anniversary of the University Musical Society's May Festival.
The May Festival has a special meaning for me and the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, for it was in your magnificent Hill Auditorium just two years ago that we, together with Jessye Norman, inaugurated the annual tour of concerts by the Met Orchestra. It is a great joy to perform in Ann Arbor, not only because of the enthusiastic and knowledgeable audiences, but because of the sense that the whole University of Michigan community is such an active participant.
Again, my heartiest congratulations on your Centennial, and I look forward to sharing many more evenings of great music with all the friends of the University Musical Society.

Dear Mr Fischer,
Thank you for your letter of 8 March, letting me know of the 100th Ann Arbor May Festival.
My career has been continuously marked by concerts from my earliest years at the University of Michigan. It was there I performed for the first time the great Sonata for Violin and Piano by Bartok; it was there I played on my first tour of the U.S.A.; it was there I played with innumerable great orchestras and gave innumerable recitals to one of the best audiences in the U.S.A. I, therefore, congratulate the University Musical Society wholeheartedly on its 100th Ann Arbor May Festival and all those associated over sixty years with my own visits and with the achievements of the Society.
With all good wishes, Yours sincerely,

On the occasion of its one hundredth anniversary, all of us whc love music, feel a debt of gratitude to all of you who celebrate this sublime art each year at the Festival.
One of my warmest memories is of my appearance with the Philadelphia Orchestra under the baton of Maestro Eugene Ormandy at the May Festival, many years ago. The beauty of the setting, the magnificent sound of the orchestra, the fabulously inspiring conducting of Maestro Ormandy and the enthusiasm and warmth of the audience was a musical magic carpet ride for me, and the Ann Arbor May Festival wove the fabric.

Ten Decades of May Festivals
18941903
It was a decade that saw many firsts: the first motion picture camera, the first Xray, the first airplane flown by the Wright Brothers, the first World Series, and the first safety razor developed by Gillette. And Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor Company. After William McKinley's assassination in 1901, a vigorous new president voiced America's growing sense of power with the blunt motto "Speak softly and carry a big stick."
Meanwhile, there was new music to accompany the new era. The publication of Joplin's popular "Maple Leaf Rag" in 1899 marked the dawn of ragtime. Dvorak's "New World" Symphony, composed in Iowa, had received its world premiere in 1893. And a young Yale graduate named Charles Ives began to compose some extraordinary music. While Europe mourned the death of Brahms, Bruckner, and Verdi, and saw the dusk of the Gilbert and Sullivan collaboration, it also heard the seductive new sounds of Debussy, the brilliant tone poems of Richard Strauss, and the heartwrenching operas of Puccini.
A new musical era also dawned in Ann Arbor with the first May Festival. It began by "necessity" (see "Sketch I: The First Festival"). From a modest pair of concerts in 1894, the Festival soon grew to five concerts over three days by 1896, a standard that would last for many years. The annual program book also grew rapidly. It soon became a thick and handsome tome featuring photos of the artists and analyses (complete with excerpts from the scores), probably written by the industrious Albert A. Stanley, Director of the University Musical Society and the School of Music. A strange announcement appears in each program: "All concerts begin on local lime, which is twentyfive minutes faster than standard time."
From the beginning, the Festival billed topflight soloists. The American soprano Emma Juch, well known in the U.S. and England at the time, was one of the featured soloists in Verdi's "Manzoni" Requiem, performed at that first May
Festival. There were even bigger names to come. The famous French soprano Emma Calve, whose signature role was Carmen, sang the famous "Habanera" at the "Calve Concert" of 1897 Festival. American soprano Louise Homer, who had just begun her long association with the Metropolitan Opera in New York, sang the role with which she made her Met debut, Amneris in Verdi's Alda, in a concert performance of the opera that
capped the 1903 May Festival. Renowned Wagnerian contralto Ernestine SchumannHeink--fresh frqm her Met debut--made the first of many May Festival appearances in 1900. Italian baritone Giuseppe Campanari, another Met regular, returned several times to sing in the Festival. Evidently, musical excellence wasn't the only thing he enjoyed here (see "Sketch II: 19051907").

In the Festival's second decade, new frontiers were opening up in the world of ideas, in music, and in the Festival itself. Einstein and Freud had begun to undermine old certainties. At the same time, in Freud's Vienna, Schoenberg and his disciples Berg and Webern began exploring the expressive possi?bilities of atonality. Meanwhile, Stravinsky and the Ballet Russes brought modern ballet to Paris with The Firebird, Petrouchka, and The Rile oj Spring. New geographical frontiers also opened up, as Robert Peary and Roald Amundsen reached the North and South Poles.
Several developments in this period would shape the May Festival for years to come. First, a recent University of Michigan graduate named Charles Sink was hired as the Musical Society's
business manager in 1904, thus begin?ning more than a halfcentury of service. (He would become UMS president in 1927.) Though not a musician, Sink brought enormous enthusiasm to the job of booking concert artists, as the many photos of them on his office walls attested. Second, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra--then known as the Theodore Thomas Orchestra (named after its recently deceased founder) _ began its thirtyoneyear residency under the baton of Frederick Stock. The Chicago orchestra was in many ways ideally suited for the job, although at first Ann Arbor audiences weren't so sure (see "Sketch II"). It was only a fourhour train ride away, and many of its musicians came from German stock and enjoyed the hospitality of some of Ann Arbor's old German families. (Toward the end of their Festival tenure, they also enjoyed the authentic cuisine at Metzger's Restaurant.) Stock shared conducting duties with Albert Stanley, who directed the Choral Union and whose affinity for the Germanic tradition had been nurtured at the Leipzig Conservatory. A third key development in this period was the completion of Hill Auditorium in 1913. Now the May Festival could entertain almost twice as many concertgoers as atUniversity Hall, and all the orchestra's musicians could fit on stage. (See "Sketch 111: 1913.") With the new hall, the Festival was regularly expanded to six concerts in four days, including a concert featuring a children's chorus made up of students from the Ann Arbor public schools. The Children's Chorus concert would be a Festival tradition for the next fortyfive years.
Among other notable artists, Sink enticed Ernestine SchumannHeink to return three more times. SchumannHeink had just scored another major achievement by creating the role of Klytemnestra in Strauss' Elektra. Sink also brought in the renowned soprano Alma Gluck and repeatedly engaged Metropolitan Opera bassbaritone
Herbert Witherspoon. (A recording of SchumannHeink and Witherspoon singing a brief scene from Wagner's Das Rheingold survives from July 1907, some twelve weeks after they both performed in the May Festival.)

Youth Chorus at first May Festival in Hill Auditorium with Ernestine SchumannHeink (in center)
Hill Auditorium today
Grandscale repertoire was the order of the day, and May Festivals of this era often included a fulllength Romantic opera (such as Carmen, Aida, and Lohengrin) presented in concert form, in addition to a major oratorio. Among the most frequently performed of the latter was The Damnation of Faust, which somehow always seemed to get sabotaged by a sick, stagefrightened, or unprepared singer-much to Stanley's dismay. He later recalled one Faust performance in which a singer "mixed things up so inextricably that, although I sang the melody directly into his face -etiquette forbidding the use of my fists--I was forced to stop the orchestra..."
Arthur Hill
19141923
Woodrow Wilson was President of the United States, and the war was the prevailing fact of life, touching everyone in the country, including Ann Arborites (see "Sketch IV: 19171918"). But much else happened in this, the third decade of the May Festival. Two snowballing movements--Prohibition and Women's Suffrage--culminated in the 18th and 19th constitutional amendments. Massive migrations brought more than ten million Europe?ans to American shores in the decade before the war. Many AfricanAmeri?cans, separated from slavery by a generation, cut their ties to the south and came north looking for a new life in cities such as Chicago, Detroit, and New York, where jazz and blues now replaced ragtime as the new craze in popular music.
While the tremors of the Jazz Age could hardly be felt in Hill Auditorium, the effects of the war may be detected in the Festival program books. The first piece listed on several programs during this period is either "The Star Spangled Banner" or "America." Stanley and Stock contributed to the cause with their own pieces entitled "Hymnus: Fair Land of Freedom" and "March and Hymn to Democracy," both performed at the 1919 Festival. Perhaps reflecting the widespread suspicion of things German, the 19181919 period also saw a decrease in German works, which had always been the backbone of the May Festival repertoire.
Albert Stanley's retirement in 1921 had notable effects on the Festival. For one, an important new contributor emerges on the pages of the program: Earl V. Moore. Another University of Michigan product, Moore became an organ and music theory professor in 1914 and then, two years after Stanley's retirement, rose to director of the School of Music, whose current home on North Campus is named after him. Moore's promise and stature may be measured against two other serious
candidates for the post: Archibald T. Davison of Harvard and the English composer and conductor Gustav Hoist. Hoist must have been interested in the job, for he came to the May Festival in 1923 as a special guest conductor and composer. Several of his works appear on the programs that year, including the American premiere of his Hymn of Jesus.
Several other notables graced the Festival's third decade. Italian tenor Beniamino Gigli, then at the height of his career, joined Hoist in the 1923 Festival. Irish tenor John McCormack, German coloratura soprano Frieda
Hempel, Italian soprano Amelia GalliCurci, and Hungarianborn mezzo Margarete Matzenauer all visited at least once. In what must have been a particularly thrilling coup for Charles Sink, soprano Rosa Ponselle came to the Festival just months after her celebrated Met debut opposite the legendary Enrico Caruso. More instrumentalists begin to appear as soloists, most notably pianists Harold Bauer, Wilhelm Backhaus, and Josef Lhevinne. In the 1920 Festival, Lhevinne accomplished the rare feat of playing two concertos in one concert.

PRELUDE TO THE UaSTERSINCERS
19241933
From the soaring wail that opened Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue at Paul Whiteman's landmark Aeolian Hall concert of 1924 to the resounding thud of the stock market and its severe aftershocks into the 1930s, the May Festival held a strong, steady course, unruffled by major upheavals in music and the world. Gandhi fasted for three weeks to protest the religious feud in India. Radio became a fixture in many American homes. Hitler and FDR assumed power in their respective countries. The first concentration camps were built. In 1927, Charles Lindbergh completed his famous transatlantic flight on the day of the third May Festival concert, and the Ann Arbor Times News marked the two events by devoting half of the front page to each.
In music, Schoenberg unveiled the twelvetone system in his landmark Piano Suite. Stravinsky shifted into a cooler, objective neoclassical style. Meanwhile, classic jazz recordings by
"Jelly Roll" Morton, Louis Armstrong, Fletcher Henderson, and Duke Ellington were streaming out of Chicago and New York. Kem and Hammerstein's Showboat launched a new era of American musical theater.
Among the highlights of the May Festival's fourth decade were the three appearances by composer and conductor Howard Hanson in 1926, 1927, and 1933. Hanson had begun to gain prominence as America's leading heir to the German Romantic tradition, with his largescale symphonies, symphonic poems and choral works. (For decades, he would also exert much influence on American musical life as the Director of the Eastman School of Music and its orchestra.) In this period, three of Hanson's large works received their world premieres under his baton at the May Festival: the choral works The Lament for Beowulf and Heroic Elegy and the opera Merry Mount.
As usual, many internationallyknown soloists also came. Gigli, Matzenauer, and Ponselle returned, as did the sixtysixyearold SchumannHeink one last time (her sixth appear?ance since 1900). New to the May Festival were violin soloists: Mischa Elman, Efrem Zimbalist, and Jascha Heifetz. Also appearing were soprano Lily Pons, baritone Nelson Eddy (before becoming a popular singer on radio), and pianist Ignace Jan Paderewski, who performed his own Concerto in A minor at the 1931 Festival.
On May 19,1933, an allWagner Festival concert was dedicated to the memory of Albert A. Stanley, who had passed away exactly a year earlier --on the anniversary of the first May Festi?val--just before his eightyfirst birthday. Closing with "Siegfried's Death and Funeral March" from Gotterddmmemng, the concert was certainly a fitting tribute to the Festival's Germanophile founder, who had been bom and died in the month of May.

While Europe moved toward the brink of selfdestruction, the May Festival continued to celebrate the best of its cultural legacy. By the end of the Festival's fourth decade, the war came home in the form of rationing--of sugar, gasoline, coffee, shoes, meat, cheese, and canned foods. Yet the Festival's written record--its sturdy, thick programs and the stunning lists of guest artists--betrays no sign of hardship.
"The May Festival was an anchor in people's lives," recalls former UMS President Gail Rector. Rector, whose forty years of professional service with the UMS would begin after the war, was a University of Michigan music student and Choral Union singer during this decade. He recalls the May Festival, at this and later times, as "a respite from the troubles of the world, an island of peace." Maintaining the Festival's "traditional values," Rector recalls, became especially important during wartime.
The tradition, however, would have to be maintained by another orchestra. Frederick Stock and the Chicago Symphony, who had been the backbone of the Festival since early in the century, gave their final May Festival concert in 1935. Any fears that the Festival's quality would lapse were
quelled when the Philadelphia Orches?tra was contracted for the 1936 season, thus beginning a new, nearly halfcentury May Festival tradition. But there was no mistaking the change.
The Philadelphia Orchestra, under the flamboyant Leopold Stokowski since 1912, had developed a unique sound by the time of its early years at the May Festival, a sound described by composercritic Virgil Thomson as "warm and moist and alive." (Eugene Ormandy succeeded Stokowski after the Philadelphia's inaugural May Festival, and returned every year into the 1980s.) This must have struck local audiences as quite a departure from the Chicago Symphony under the sturdy, sober leadership of Frederick Stock, with its emphasis on precision, clarity, and distinction--and its "thin as a wedge" string sound, as Thomson once wrote.
From Philadelphia also came a new conception of programming. From now on, the May Festival included a generous offering of "topical" or "thematic" programs devoted to the music of one composer or one nation. Five concerts over its first two decades, for example, were allBrahms programs. There were also AllWagner, AllSibelius, and AllMozart programs, as well as several AllRussian and one AilAmerican programs. (Typically, AllGerman programs were never labelled as such.) The 1942 May Festival featured an AllRachmaninoff pro?gram--with the composer himself at the piano for his Concerto No. 2.
From 1934, a new voice of learning emerges from the program pages: that of Glenn McGeoch. Like Sink and Moore, McGeoch was a University of Michigan graduate (B.A., 1927; M.A., 1928). After a couple years of study in Europe, he returned to Ann Arbor to become Professor of Music Literature in 1931 and played an important role in establishing the music history program at the School of Music. He would continue to write the May Festival program notes into the 1970s.
The Philadelphia Orchestra's early years here saw several other firsts. The first AfricanAmerican soloist to participate in a May Festival was
Fritz Kreisler
contralto Marion Anderson, who performed Mozart and Verdi as well as black spirituals here in May 1938. Anderson returned for three other Festivals (1939, 1942, and 1950). Pianist Artur Rubinstein made his first of three May Festival appearances in 1938. It was truly an allstar decade, with an especially impressive lineup of instrumentalists: pianists Vladimir Horowitz, Artur Schnabel, and Rudolf Serkin (in addition to Rachmaninoff and Rubinstein), violinists Jascha Heifetz, Fritz Kreisler, and Josef Szigeti, and cellists Gregor Piatigorsky and Emanuel Feuermann. Piatigorsky performed in three May Festivals in the 1940s. No wonder. The Russian cellist had already sown fond memories in Ann Arbor: he was married here (in the Sink's living room) in 1939. Feuermann, on the other hand, left another legacy here. His performance in the 1942 May Festival turned out to be his last; he died within the month.
In 1943, the May Festival cel?ebrated its "Golden Jubilee" by honoring key elements of its tradition. The second concert, for example, featured works by Stanley and Stock (who had recently died) and closed with Strauss' Death and Transfiguration, which according to the program book, was "played in memory of Albert A. Stanley and Frederick A. Stock"--two figures who had domi?nated the Festival's first halfcentury. The whole Festival was framed by the two works that had opened and closed the inaugural May Festival in 1894: Beethoven's Leonore Overture 3 and Verdi's Requiem.

The map of Europe was being redrawn, India achieved independence (only to suffer Gandhi's assassination soon after), and a Jewish state was established. With the deaths of Schoenberg and Webem, the European musical tradition witnessed a changing of the avantgarde, now led by such composers as Messiaen, Boulez, Stockhausen, and Cage. The world as it existed during the May Festival's first decade had changed dramatically.
Yet the Festival forged ahead into its second halfcentury with an unwavering commitment to its tradi?tions. And according to Gail Rector, who served as Charles Sink's assistant during this period, the postwar May Festival enjoyed better student attendence than ever, thanks in part to the G.I. Bill, which brought veterans and their wives to campus. Six Festival concerts--including two each on Saturday and Sunday--would remain the rule well into the 1960s.
Major soloists, whose engage?ment could never be taken for granted, also remained the rule at the May Festival. There was more than just musical incentive to make the trip. According to Gail Rector, the conve?nience afforded by the socalled "Wolverine Special"--an overnight train from New York to Ann Arbor that left at 4:30 p.m. and arrived here at 8:30 a.m.--was "a big factor in artists deciding to come." Nathan Milstein, for example, regularly appeared here in the 1940s and 1950s and performed at four Festivals in this period. Even after the advent of commercial air travel, however, Milstein refused to fly. But the old "Wolverine Special" still made it easy for him. Another incentive was that the Russianbom violinist had a long history with the Philadelphia Orchestra: he had made his American debut with it in 1929.
Among many others, the following appearances are worthy of note. Pianist
Oscar Levant highlighted the AUAmerican concert of the 1945 Festival, where he performed his signature pieces: Gershwin's Concerto in F and Rhapsody in Blue. A young violinist named Isaac Stern made his first of many Ann Arbor appearances at the 1947 May Festival, just before embark?ing on a tour that would establish his international reputation. In 1950 Scottish violist William Primrose performed the Bartok Viola Concerto, which he had commissioned and which he had premiered only a few months earlier. The 29yearold pianist William Kapell made his last of three Festival appearances in 1951 with a perfor?mance of Prokofiev's bravura Piano Concerto No. 3. Two years later the young virtuoso died in a plane crash.

Few incidents so vividly reveal the paranoid temper of the times as the summons of Aaron Copland to testify before the infamous UnAmerican Activities Committee. For years, the composer had been engaged in the most American activities imaginable, writing such works as "Appalachian Spring," "Billy the Kid," and his arrangements of "Old American Songs." Suspected of Communist sympathies, however, Copland was a marked man. As a result one of his most overtly Americanist works, "A Lincoln Portrait," was slashed from the program of music for Eisenhower's inaugural.
Copland survived the inquistion, although many were not so lucky. (Three University of Michigan profes?sors were dismissed from their posts for failure to swear an oath of allegiance.) At the 1961 May Festival, Copland appeared as the guest conductor of two works he had completed within the last decade--Orchestral Variations (1957) and a suite from his opera The Tender Land (1954). Composer Virgil Thomson had also made a guest appearance in 1959, conducting three of his own works, including the world premiere of excerpts from his score for the United Nations film Power Among Men. Also receiving its premiere at the May Festival was University of Michigan composer Ross Lee Finney's Still Are New Worlds (1963).
The Choral Union, still over 300 strong, continued to sing traditional choral works and operas. Yet under the leadership of guest conductor Thor Johnson and chorusmaster Lester McCoy the group also performed more 20thcentury works. Two highlights of this period included a complete performance of Schoenberg's Gurrelieder and the U.S. premiere of Poulenc's Secheresses.
Major performers to grace the May Festival in this period were soprano Lily Pons, who had been performing in Ann Arbor since 1931. At her 1958 Festival appearance, her last here, she was 60yearsold and still active at the Metro?politan Opera. Among a younger generation of performers were American soprano Rise Stevens, who sang excerpts from her signature role of Carmen. (In her career, she sang it 75 times at the Met.) Soprano Leontyne Price--who, like Pons, would continue to perform here into her sixties--made her first Ann Arbor appearances at the 1957 and 1960 May Festivals, singing Verdi (Aida and the Requiem) both times. Also making his first local appearance was Glenn Gould. His 1958 concert was made possible only after Gail Rector (who had succeeded Sink as Executive Director in 1957) persuaded Eugene Ormandy that the volatile pianist would cooperate with the orchestra and not pull any of his "tricks." After six months of negotiation, Rector's persistence paid off and Ormandy consented. According to Rector, Ormandy was so impressed with
their May Festival collaboration on Beethoven's Concerto No. 4 that he invited Gould to perform with the orchestra in Philadelphia. The concert was scheduled, but the pianist never showed up.

The May Festival somehow held a steady course through a decade that spanned from Kennedy's assassination to the Watergate hearings, and in which a distant, dubious war shadowed everyday existence. Social upheaval was much closer than the war itself, due in part to the influential first teachin on the Vietnam War, held at The Univer?sity of Michigan in March 1965, and to riots triggered by racial injustice in Detroit and other major cities. Less than three weeks before the 1968 May Festival (which took place in April), Martin Luther King was assassinated in Memphis. Soon after the 1973 Festival, the Watergate hearings began.
In short, concert audiences in the May Festival's eighth decade had a lot on their minds. Perhaps better than ever, the Festival served its function as "an island of peace," as Rector called it. The island, however, became smaller. In 1967, for the first time in over fifty years, the May Festival offered five concerts instead of six. By 1973, the current standard of four concerts was established.
Yet a reduction in quantity brought no corresponding loss in quality.
In 1964, an aging Igor Stravinsky honored the Festival by conducting the orchestra and Choral Union in a performance of his own Persephone. Cellist Mstislav Rostropovich and soprano Galina Vishnevskaya already husband and wife, and still Soviet citizens--performed at the 1967 Festival. That year the Choral Union was featured in Ross Lee Finney's new work, The Martyr's Elegy, which had been commissioned for the University's sesquicentennial. Another School of Music professor, intemationallyknown Hungarianbom pianist Gyorgy Sandor,
had performed Bartok's First Concerto under the baton of his compatriot Eugene Ormandy in an AllHungarian program of the 1966 Festival. On four consecutive nights at the 1970 Festival, the featured soloists included pianist Alicia de Larrocha, pianist Van Cliburn, violinist Itzhak Perlman, and pianist Rudolf Serkin--as well as baritone and future University of Michigan professor Leslie Guinn making his Ann Arbor debut.
In 1972, Charles Sink died; but under the continuing stewardship of his protege, Gail Rector, the May Festival moved on toward the completion of its first century.

A University of Michigan man rose, almost by default, to the presi?dency; the Vietnam War ended; the price of gasoline rose as the lines to get it grew longer; and while Jimmy Carter took crucial steps toward ensuring peace between Israel and Egypt, a new, nettlesome crisis rose up in the Middle East when Americans were taken hostage in Iran. Yet all told, the age of pet rocks, bell bottoms, leisure suits, and disco seems to have made no mark on the traditions of the May Festival.
One national event did shape the Festival: the Bicentennial. In 1976, more American works were performed at the May Festival than ever before. Works by Barber, Copland, Gershwin, MacDowell, and Persichetti were featured, as was the world premiere of Echoes from an Invisible World, a piece by UM Professor and Pulitzer Prizewinning composer Leslie Bassett. The highlight of the Festival was an AilAmerican concert with 76yearold Aaron Copland conducting several of his own works.
The previous year's Festival had had a more sober theme. One of its programs was dedicated to the memory of Thor Johnson, who had conducted 57 May Festival concerts from 1940 to 1973, usually with the Choral Union. A University of Michigan graduate (like so many of the other important shapers of the Musical Society's traditions), Johnson held the distinction of being the first Americanbom, Americantrained conductor to direct a major orchestra (the Cincinnati Symphony, which he had joined in 1947). The 76yearold Eugene Ormandy, who had never missed a May Festival concert in almost four decades, became ill during the
performance and couldn't continue after intermission. The next night he was back on the podium. An aging Rudolf Serkin also appeared at the 1975 May Festival, 36 years after making his local debut under Ormandy s baton. Among the younger generation of soloists to perform in the May Festival's ninth decade was the 27yearold ChineseAmerican cellist Yo Yo Ma, in his first Ann Arbor appearance.
Ormandy rarely conducted all of the Festival concerts any more. Several guests shared the podium with him, including his young assistant Riccardo Muti, the former Detroit Symphony conductor Aldo Ceccato, and for one concert, the legendary choral conductor Robert Shaw. But Ormandy continued to come here into his eighties. The 1982 Festival closed with an encore of Louis Elbel's "The Victors," which had become an informal tradition for the Philadelphia Orchestra. It was the last piece Ormandy conducted here after almost a halfcentury of performances in May.

In 1984, the Philadelphia Orchestra played its last May Festival, under the batons of Aldo Ceccato and the Orchestra's Associate Conductor William Smith. The last concert, conducted by Smith, closed with an encore of "The Victors." Then the University Brass Players--who had just joined the Orchestra in a performance of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture--began the strains of "Auld Lang Syne" as the entire audience joined in. It was an apt farewell. At least two dozen of the Orchestra's musicians had been coming to Ann Arbor for thirty years or more. One of them, cellist Harry Gorodetzer, had joined the ensemble in 1936, the year of its inaugural May Festival. Old acquaintance indeed.
Since the Philadelphia Orchestra's swan song, many different orchestras and conductors have been invited to share in the May Festival tradition. The comfort of continuity has been lost, but at the same time, the opening up of the tradition has allowed Ann Arbor audiences to get to know other orchestras more intimately, especially the Pittsburgh Symphony (in 1985, 1986, and 1988), and the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra (1987, 1989, and 1991). Other recent visitors have been the Los Angeles Philharmonic (1990) and the Detroit Symphony (1992).
In 1985, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra became only the fourth
orchestra to play at the May Festival. The series, "dedicated to the memory of Eugene Ormandy, 18991985," featured soloists Itzhak Perlman and Kin Te Kanawa, singing Strauss' Four Last Songs in her Ann Arbor debut. The Pittsburgh, having just lost Andre Previn to Los Angeles, brought a wealth of guest conductors from almost as many countries Sixten Ehrling, Philippe Entremont, Sir Alexander Gibson, Zdenek Macal, Christoph Eschenbach, JeanPierre Rampal, and Michael Tilson Thomas.
In contrast, the Gewandhaus Orchestra brought a single leader, the commanding Kurt Masur. Its first appearance in 1987 marked the first time a foreign orchestra had taken up residence to perform at the May Festival. With its Leipzig roots and almost exclusively German and Austrian repertoire, the Gewandhaus' presence seemed to hark back to the days of Stanley, with his decidedly Teutonic tastes and Leipzig training. The 1987 Festival also honored another tradition. It was dedicated to Gail Rector, who was retiring after thirty years as Executive Director of the UMS. He was succeeded by the current Director, Ken Fischer.
In 1993, the University Musical Society both preserves and extends the May Festival's traditions. Following a centuryold tradition, it brings to Ann Arbor one of the great orchestras in the
world today, the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra conducted by James Levine, and one of the most celebrated virtuosos, Itzhak Perlman, and an emerging young soprano, Renee Fleming. Like the first and the fiftieth May Festivals, this one opens with Beethoven's Leonore
Overture No. 3 and closes with Verdi's Requiem, performed by the Choral Union and Detroit Symphony Orchestra under David Zinman. To enhance the celebration, a Cabaret Ball featuring jazz, dance, and cabaret performances provides an interlude between the traditional concerts. Such an event might surprise Albert A. Stanley, but he can rest assured that as the May Festival moves toward the 21st century, it does so in full view of its 19thcentury roots.

The May Festival -Sketches of Ann Arbor History
by Ramon R. Hernandez Director, Ann Arbor Public Library Member, University Musical Society Choral Union Chorus
Sketch I: The First Festival
'n Ann Arbor, 1893 was an important year. In 1888, Albert A. Stanley, whose portrait adorns a lobby wall on the main floor of Hill Auditorium, had come to teach courses in the Literary Department for the University of Michigan in the theory of music and related subjects, and also to assume the leadership of the University Musical Society. For about five years, Stanley had booked the Boston Symphony Orchestra to come to Ann Arbor to perform. But, by the end of 1893, the Orchestra notified Stanley that it could no longer afford to tour and cancelled its 1894 concert here.
Stanley was able to engage the wellthoughtof Boston Festival Orchestra, which, with 50 members, a more than adequate size for University Hall, was designed to tour and appear for festivals throughout the eastern half of the country. But, there was a hitch. In order to meet the Orchestra's ex?penses, including a whopping $2,000 for eight soloists, Stanley estimated that there had to be a minimum of three concerts.
Thus, necessity was again the mother of invention. A more than one day arrangement was made for the Ann Arbor appearance, and the idea of calling this arrangement a "festival" seemed to hit the minds of several people. Alas, in 1894, out of necessity, the May Festival was created.
Well, now you got it. What do you do with it Obviously, if you have committed a bundle of money, you must sell it. And sell it they did. The sheer number of press clippings from newspapers around Michigan and beyond, testifies to the media blitz of the day. Special trains were arranged. The Musical Society advised persons to check with its offices on Maynard Street for overnight accommodations.
The Michigan Daily called its readers' attention to the potential conflict between the Festival and some sporting events, chastising "those female coeds who won't attend a baseball game or the May Festival unless some male student invites them." The Daily also admonished the athletic authori?ties "for scheduling the freshmensophomore track and field meet on the same afternoon as a May Festival concert."
All that did not deter a great event. On May 18, 1894, a Friday evening, the Boston Festival Orchestra gave a full program of orchestral music, opening this, the first May Festival with Beethoven's Leonore Overture No. 3. There was a matinee on Saturday afternoon, the 19th, and on Saturday evening, under the direction of Stanley himself, the Festival Chorus, with guest soloists, performed the work we hear on Sunday, May 9, the beautiful Requiem by Verdi. In a review of that perfor?mance, the Chicago Herald wrote, "The soloists were superb. The chorus under the leadership of Stanley and in excellent manner especially rendered in a brilliant way, 'The Sanctus' [a double chorus fugue]."
60
There were some problems at the first Festival, in spite of its smashing success. Hundreds of persons jammed special trains, but most of them had neglected to buy tickets to the concerts ahead of time, and upon arriving all the tickets were sold out. As a result, they found themselves jamming corridors and passageways of University Hall. Although the concert was superb, the people emerged tired and hungry from standing in the hallways, and anxious to get home. But, their troubles did not end there. When those who attended the first night flocked back to the New York Central station, they found that their trains had been sent on to Detroit and no one had remembered to have them sent back. The trains did not arrive back in Ann Arbor until 3 a.m.
Nonetheless, the cheerful promise that things usually come out all right in the long run, seemed to ring true from an article in the May 23, 1894 Ann Arbor Democrat: "The officers of the Choral Union who put on the May Festival last week are still speaking to each other." Such was the first Festival.
Sketch II: 19051907
was making the headlines on the national scene during this time. Of serious consequence was the national furor over college football. It was to require the close attention of UM President James B. Angell after the 1905 season. In 1905, nationwide, 18 college players died of footballrelated injuries.
President Theodore Roosevelt threatened to abolish the sport. The old plagues of over emphasis, unnecessary rough?ness, and professionalism reoccurred. UM President Angell called a meeting of the Western Conference faculty in Chicago to take control of athletics. The universities of Chicago and Wisconsin even suggested abolishing football for two years to cool the fever. Adopted were eight restrictions on participa?tion; among them were:
(1) no student could play until he had been in residence a year (trying to halt the recruiting of professionals and luring of star players from other colleges);
(2) players must be doing satisfactory academic work in full course of studies;
(3) no more than five intercollegiate games should be scheduled each season; and
(4) no coaching except by regularly appointed staff, whose salaries should not be more than other faculty members of the same rank.
In part, the furor raised on the Ann Arbor campus over the new rules regulating football and the greater issues of who controls athletics on a college campus, led to a series of events that contributed to the Western Conference dropping the University of Michigan from the Conference in January 1908.
For ten years, UM stubbornly remained outside the Confer?ence, but finally, a change in its authority of control of athletics led to its readmittance in November 1917.
The University was growing, and by the turn of the century, it was one of the largest in the country, numbering about 3,500 students.
Charles A. Sink arrived at the University in 1904 to begin a distinguished career spanning six decades of service to the University. Although originally holding the title of Secretary for the University Musical Society, it fell to Sink to handle the wealth of details and diplomacy in putting forth the extensive yearround UMS program.
One of the first duties befalling him was handling the announcement by the Boston Festival Orchestra that, after 11 seasons of May Festivals, it could no longer afford to tour. The Society then contacted the Theodore Thomas Orchestra of Chicago conducted by Frederick Stock, and it expressed its willingness to play at the 1905 Festival.
It seems that Ann Arbor was a bit slow in warming up to the new orchestra; but then, after all, the popular Boston Festival Orchestra had been around since the Festival's beginning.
Following the 1906 Festival, which was down in revenue, but not all that bad in attendance, there was a lot of finger pointing in Ann Arbor.
The Ann Arbor News reported: "A resounding success, but financially a failure. The burden of deficit laid with the people of Ann Arbor themselves. The businessmen of the city, it is said, have not supported the Festival generously this year. The Festival will not meet expenses by any means, and while a festival for next year is assured, a new plan will be adopted, introducing concerts of a more popular nature into the series." Townsfolk knew the News had the Sousa band in mind.
Something must have happened in the intervening year. The Theodore Thomas Orchestra did come back and the program was not "watereddown" with a more popular or Sousatype program. The 1907 Festival was a great financial success, with much business support in terms of advertising, and the Orchestra played to great reviews.
It is said that Ann Arbor always seems to have something to complain about. The 1907 Festival featured a commentary on Festival conduct, bringing to mind occasional articles and letters on concert etiquette. The Ann Arbor News, on May 7, wrote: "All should come early so that the ushers may seat the audience before the concert is to begin. All concerts need to begin at the hour announced so that those who so desire may leave on the late trains. The placing of chairs in the aisles or the carrying of chairs of any description is forbidden. The Ladies are respectfully requested to remove their hats. Only two other things need to be added: do not take children who are too young to appreciate the concerts and who annoy others, and if you cannot appreciate the concerts enough to stop talking yourself, then go out on the campus to talk instead of the Hall."
Three other interesting items of note in the 1907 Festival:
First, after the first night, renowned baritone soloist Giuseppe Campanari, along with the Thomas Orchestra's harpist and librarian, were found as patrons of the Bijou, a cheap downtown vaudeville theater, singing and drinking
along with the local customers and watching a moving picture on the Bijou's large screen.
Second, on May 11, the Detroit News reported that for the first time in Festival history, the audience arrived in the midst of a snow storm.
And third, at the May 9 concert, the Bell Phone Company put on a "Televent" as an experiment. With two boxes (one might call a telephone version of a microphone) suspended above conductor Stock's head, the concert was sent along the telephone lines to persons with phones in Detroit. Although the experiment was described as somewhat successful, for reasons unknown, it was not repeated in subsequent years.
With the closing of the 1907 season, two things became readily apparent: (1) the permanence of the Festival itself, and (2) the use of the Theodore Thomas Orchestra for some years to come (through the 1935 Festival).
Sketch III 1913
year stands out above the rest in the early days of the Festival, it would be 1913. Through the gift of Arthur Hill and some matching university funds, an auditorium, billed as one of the best in the country, was built and opened in time for the 1913 May Festival. With the moving into Hill Audito?rium, the Festival expanded to four days, including a children's chorus from the Ann Arbor Public Schools (a tradition that lasted five decades). The orchestra expanded to about 80 members, taking advantage of the larger hall.
At the same time, national and international events were capturing the attention of the Ann Arborite. With the split in the Republican Party, between the Regulars and the Bull Moose, Democrat Woodrow Wilson, who was once considered for the post of UM president, was elected president of the United States, and took office two months before the May Festival.
On the sports scene, Ty Cobb held out and refused to sign a contract with the Detroit Tigers. The Tiger president only offered $10,000, Cobb's 1912 salary. Cobb wanted $15,000. On April 19, he was suspended for not reporting. On April 22, an Illinois Congressman called for an investigation of professional baseball, and finally on April 25, the same day that the Theodore Thomas Orchestra changed its name to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Ty Cobb signed for a reported $10,500 or $11,000.
Meanwhile, back at the May Festival, Stanley and Sink made the transition to the big, beautiful and highlyacclaimed new Hill Auditorium without a hitch. With almost 4,500 seats, attendance doubled, and on the opening night, the concert featured the everpopular Fifth Symphony of Beethoven. On the second night, again under the direction of Stanley, and in honor of the 100th anniversary of Verdi's birth, the Festival Chorus sang Verdi's "Manzoni" Requiem.
The local review read: "The Requiem was sung with splendid effect last evening. The concert is a triumph for the Festival Chorus. Although it rained steadily throughout the evening, Hill Auditorium was filled almost to overflowing. The chorus maintained always a perfect degree of balance, and a
61
tone constantly distinguished by deep resonance and purity. Attacks were even and sharply marked, and in many places the volume of tone was strong and well sustained. In the Tuba Mirum,' the male voices came out in unison passages with magnificent effect."
The Festival was not without its interesting sidelights, not the least of which was a gossipcolumnist's inside look into the private life of one of the soloists, Marie Rappold. The local paper reported that Mrs. Rappold was "surprised and dis?tressed when told this morning, May 16, that her husband, Dr. Julius Rappold, had been giving some interviews in New York City regarding her fight for a divorce. She would not admit this when contacted in her hotel this morning. She said, 'This is terrible. Why can't the papers leave such private matters alone I refuse to make any statement.' Dr. Rappold declared he would prevent his wife from getting a divorce 'for her own good.' Mrs. Rappold said sometime ago, 'He does not love me or our daughter. I married him when 1 was too young to know what I was doing. He is as cold as science itself.' Dr. Rappold said at that time, 'A man who is married to a professional woman is really not married at all. Marrying a genius is like going to war. Conjugal happiness seldom can endure when the wife is a genius and her husband is not.'"
Sketch IV: 19171918
n 1914, war broke out in Europe and almost immediately its consequences came home to Chicago and Ann Arbor. In April 1917, President Wilson asked Congress for a declaration of war against Germany, saying that "The world must be made safe for democracy." Already, the country had been preparing, including several mobilization actions on the UM campus.
But one issue that hit both UM and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and hit them hard, was the issue of loyalty. At UM, the German Department was suspect.
At a farewell meeting for recruits at Hill Auditorium on September 4,1917, responding for the draftees was Fred Wahr, instructor in the UM German Department, and a member of an old Ann Arbor German family. He left no doubt where he stood: "In justice to our great cause and to ourselves who are now called into service, we demand that those seditious and treasonable utterances which now and then find their way about in our community be silenced, and that those making such statements, whoever it may be -we demand that they be treated with the contempt which they deserve. You are either for us or against us." His words hit hard and had influence.
In October 1917, an assistant professor in the German Department was dismissed by the Board of Regents. However, at the same time the Regents tabled a request from the National Security League for an official inquiry to be made into the loyalty of ALL professors and university officials.
By Spring, the Regents were petitioned to remove the study of German from the curriculum, which it declined to do. However, enrollment in all German courses plummeted from about 1,300 to only 150. One professor, a German national, feeling under suspicion by his colleagues, asked for
a leave for the duration of the war, and it was granted "indefinitely." When he asked for the reinstatement in 1919, he was turned down. Bitterly, he returned to Germany. The Regents also notified three other nontenured German faculty members that they would not be reappointed. But, in balance, two German citizens on the faculty were stoutly defended.
Meanwhile, in Chicago, the issue of loyalty was raised regarding some of the orchestra members. Flutist Albert Quensel and premier cellist, Bruno Steindel, who rode the "L" together to rehearsal each day, speaking German and reading the Deutsche Abendpost, were investigated by authorities.
The issue reached such a pitch that, in unprecedented action, Charles Hamill, First VicePresident of The Orchestral Association, addressed the audience at Chicago's Orchestra Hall after the intermission of the programs on April 5 and 6, 1918 regarding the loyalty of the members of the CSO. In reply to the newspaper charges that some of the men were outandout proGerman in their war views, Mr. Hamill declared that the entire Orchestra was faithful to America. In support of this statement, he read a resolution adopted at a recent meeting of the members of the Orchestra resolving "that we pledge our moral and material support to the Government in its conduct of the war."
Then, in the summer, the issue resurfaced and hit a boiling point. Frederick Stock, Conductor of the CSO, it was reported, took out his first citizenship papers on his arrival in 1895 in America, but in consequence of his absorbing duties in connection with the Orchestra, neglected to apply for second papers until 1916, when he found his first papers had lapsed and it was necessary to take out new ones. Before they arrived, the United States had entered the war against Ger?many. In order to relieve the Trustees from possible embar?rassment, Stock decided to tender his resignation in a formal letter of August 17, 1918. In October, the Board of Trustees reluctantly accepted Stock's request to resign, but only until such time as he could get his citizenship papers in order.
At the same meeting, Bruno Steindel's resignation from the orchestra was accepted. Steindel had been a giant in his field, serving as first cellist for the Berlin Philharmonic in the 1880s, playing under Brahms, Tschaikovsky, and Dvorak, and having been a member of the CSO for the 27 years since its founding, in 1891. No where is it reported that there was any proGerman sentiments to Steindel's views, and so the following year, 1919, the CSO trustees placed him on the pension roll.
In February 1919, Stock's papers were all in order and he was reappointed conductor by a unanimous vote of the trustees. Stock appeared on stage at the concert on Friday, February 28. Cheers came from the galleries; the men in the Orchestra gave him a prolonged "fanfare" while the vast audience rose to utter its gladness in shouts and applause for their popular conductor. When all was quiet, Stock thanked the people for the cordial support given to the Orchestra. The concert closed with Stock's own work, entitled "March and Hymn to Democracy."
In spite of the trauma, Stock never missed a May Festival.
May Festival Memories
1 was in the 5th grade at Eberwhite School when it was announced in 1958 that there would be tryouts for the May Festival Children's Chorus. None of us knew exactly what that was, but we were very excited about singing with a big orchestra in Hill Auditorium. 1 was sick with the chicken pox during the tryouts, but much to my relief was given a place in the chorus. Much credit belongs to Miss Nelson, our choral teacher, Ethel Hedrick, the principal and Mrs. Marion Maddock, our teacher, for making this possible.
Mr. Robert Muehlig (father of Carol Muehlig) transported all the kids from Eberwhite to and from rehearsals -often in Muehlig Funeral Chapel vehicles, which was great fun. My parents were thrilled -my mother stayed up until all hours sewing a white dress.
In the beginning, it was unclear how this would even come together, but by the time we rehearsed with Mr. Ormandy, it was clear we were all participants in something very special.
While many childhood memories have faded, the experiences of singing in this chorus are still quite sharp. It was transfor?mational to work hard and produce music of that caliber and to experience the musician?ship of Miss Hood and, of course, Mr. Ormandy.
Deborah Ward VandenBroek Ann Arbor
As a child some forty years ago, I remember the awesome feeling of being on stage at Hill Auditorium. We were part of the annual tradition of singing in the allschoolcity children's chorus during May Festival.
Back in the carefree days of the 1950s, it was an honor for a 5th or 6th grader to be selected to perform at the May Festival.
Who would orchestrate this melodious symphony of cherubic voices year after year None other than the incomparable "Miss Hood!" She was the legendary music teacher who, with her silver white hair tied in a bun, was a local institution. The May Festival was not complete without Miss Hood directing the massive chorus of 500 schoolchildren at Hill.
For decades until her death Miss Hood graced our community and the May Festival. Generations of Ann Arborites have vivid childhood memories at the thrill of performing with Eugene Ormandy at the May Festival because of her. Thanks for the memories, Miss Hood!
Evy Eugene Mavrellis Ann Arbor
1 attended my first May Festival Concert in 1956.1 was a sophomore in high school, a tuba player in the Milford High School Band and just learning the string bass. 1 came to the concert with my school music teacher. 1 have carried with me those tonal images of the Philadelphia Orchestra under the director of Eugene Ormandy to this day, especially a performance they gave of "Pictures at an Exhibition" one year.
After graduation from high school, 1 attended the University of Michigan School of Music, majored in string bass and have for the past 29 years been the Orchestra Director at Plymouth (Michigan) High School.
Throughout all the years since 1956,1 have attended at least one (some years all) May Festival concert. It is by far the longest tradition in my life. Now, I bring my high school students to the May Festival with me.
1 remember one year (about 1960) when I snuck in and sat in about the third row, in front of the elevated stage, right in front of Leontyne Price and watched her sing during the Verdi Requiem. During the performance she looked down at me and smiled, and 1 was thrilled.
When 1 was a music student, many classes were cancelled during May Festival so we could attend rehearsals of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and frequently Orchestra members would hold informal clinics for us. Occasionally we ate dinner with the musicians.
As you can see, I have many fond memories of the May Festival.
H. Michael Endres Ann Arbor
1 sang in the Children's Chorus when 1 was in the fourth grade (1954) and remember singing Brahms lieder. One of the other little girls in the chorus was wearing a string of beads, and at one point, the string broke. Since we were above the orchestra in the bleachers, the beads showered the orchestra. We were dissolving into giggles when Eugene Ormandy fixed us with a look that would kill, and we suddenly were reminded that making music was serious business

During World War II travel was uncertain because of troop and material movements. One night during that period the Chicago Symphony was scheduled to perform at the usual time of 8:30 p.m. Shortly after 8:30 had come and gone, a Musical Society official came onto the stage and announced that the train carrying the orchestra had been shunted onto a siding due to military necessity.
The audience stirred and buzzed with comments, of course, but people settled down for the most part and waited ... and waited ... Perhaps an hour or more later a man appeared on the stage, distributing music on the music stands. Greeted with cheers and applause, he acknowledged our joy at seeing him with a slight bow and continued his work.
Soon the musicians, carrying their instruments, came on stage, accompanied by a tumultuous cheer and standing ovation. They played a rousing National Anthem and a thrilling and exciting program.
Jane R Gleason Ann Arbor
The first year the Philadelphia Orchestra came to May Festival, 1 was singing in the Choral Union. We sat in those high bleachers that used to be built up at the center and sides of the stage -we could sit there during the concerts and rehearsals if we kept quiet! We were to sing the Verdi Requiem. At the first rehearsal with the Orchestra, Leopold Stokowski came into the hall and was introduced to the choir. He was wearing white cotton gloves to protect his long graceful tapering hands -of which he was quite conscious! The quartet consisted of Jeannette Vreeland, soprano; Rose Bampton, mezzosoprano; Giovanni Martinelli, tenor; and Ezio Pinza, bass. What a quartet!
After I graduated from the University and got a teaching position in a Detroit suburb, my mother and I came to May Festival for many years. Then my sister and 1 came and now a friend and 1 attend. 1 have probably come to about 50 May Festivals and consider myself very lucky to have been able to hear so many of the finest musicians of the century!
Jane Lombard Dearborn
My fond memories of the May Festival were as a child growing up in Ann Arbor, and the highlight of our school year was being in the Children's Chorus. Picking out a white dress at Kline's and getting new white shoes. What a thrill it was!

The Coming Festival.
On Friday and Saturday of this week occurs the greatest musical treat in the history of Ann Arbor, or of the state. No person who nas the price of admission, or can borrow it, should fail to see the musical event. It is the opportunity of a life time.
Read what an Ann Arbor musical critic says in the Detroit Free Press about the.coming festival:
"Ann Arbor is on the threshold of a great musical event. The first May festival is fixed for the 18th and 19th instant, and the galaxy of vocal stars engaged, the presence of a pianist whose playing is marked b'y much individuality as well j great finish, the services of the Hoston festival orchestra as accompan?ists, added to the fine singing of the choral union, lend a significance to the occasion that cannot fail to be widely and generously appreciated. Verdi's requiem -his great master?piece--will be given at this festival, and at the rehearsal at which 1 was present last evening it was surpris?ing how admirably it has been pre?pared. This great work abounds in passages of the sublimest character, dramatic and inspiring to a remark?able degree; and the way in which Mr. A. A. Stanley has brought to the surface its transcendent beauties speaks volumes for his own pains?taking efforts and the assidious man?ner in which the choral union has directed itself to the study of this sublime creation.
University hall will accommodate over 3,000 persons, and special rail?road rates and the fact that Verdi's requiem will receive its initial per formance in this state at this festi?val conspire to create an interest that cannot faiHo bring a good many musicloving Detroiters to the Uni?versity to drink in the sweet delights of a festival at once so attractive and varied in the gdod things offered its votaries."

"What's going on in Aon Ar?bor" "Nothing very exciting, but we must all take hold and push the May Festival."
"Why what's that, I never heard of Hi"
The above conversation was held recently between one of Ann Arbor'i most prominent and patriotic citizens, and the Argus. It only shows the truth of the assertion that too'much cannot be said with reference to coining events. The May festival will be given May 8ih and 19th, by the University musical spciety.and will be the greatest mus?ical event ever givjn in the State of Michigan. Director A. A. Stanley has the record of making everything he undertakes a success and there?fore his many friends believe the May festival will surpass all former efforts of the University musical society. To begin with the trained chorus of jSo voices cunnot be found in half a dozen cities in the United Stales. They will be as?sisted by the lioston Festival chorus and Mmma Juch and Rose Stewart, sorpanos; Gertrude May Stein, con?tralto: Kdward C. Town', tenor; Max Heinrich, baritone, Arthur Fricdheim, pianist; Fritz Giese, Violoncelloist.
The citizens should wak up to what is in store for them, and talk and think.May Festival. If a spe?cial effort is made by each one the great expense and outlay ?vill be covered. The time is short in which to sell the remaining tickets and I therefore let everyone be up and 1 doing.

Ludwig Van Beethoven
Baptized December 16, 1770, in Bonn, Germany Died March 26, 1827, in Vienna
Overture, Leonore No. 3, in C major, Op. 72a
Beethoven wrote Jour overtures for the opera that he originally composed in 180405 and called Leonore, though it was billed as Fidelio at the first performance, at Vienna's Theater an der Wien on November 20, 1805, when it was preceded by the overture known as Leonore No. 2. Leonore No. 3 was written Jor the somewhat revised version of the opera introduced at the same theater on March 29, 1806. When Fidelio was next revived, in 1814, Beethoven composed a more concise overture, now known as the Fidelio Overture. The Metropolitan Opera first presented Fidelio on November 19,1884, under Leopold Damrosch; since then, it has been led by, among others, Anton Seidl, Gustav Mahler, Alfred Hertz, Artur Bodanzky, Bruno Walter, Karl Bohm, Erich Leinsdorf Klaus Tennstedt, and Bernard Haitink, most of whom interpolated Leonore No. 3 between the two scenes of the second act.
The overture is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani, and strings.
Fidelio, the only opera Beethoven brought to fruition, certainly cost its composer more trouble than any ten operas of Donizetti cost their maker. The libretto, based on a "rescue opera" set during the French Revolution, celebrated two themes dear to the composer, political freedom and conjugal devotion: to free Florestan, a nobleman imprisoned for political reasons, his wife Leonore disguises herself as a boy ("Fidelio") and is hired by the jailer Rocco. When a visit of inspection by a royal minister is announced, the prison governor Don Pizarro plans to kill Florestan to prevent discovery of his arbitrary incarceration. "Fidelio" and Rocco dig a grave in the dungeon, but when Pizarro arrives and is about to kill the prisoner, Leonore intervenes with a pistol, crying "First kill his wife!" At this moment of maximum tension, an offstage trumpet call signals the arrival of the minister, who in the opera's final scene grants Leonore the privilege of releasing her husband from his chains, as the populace praises her exalted example of wifely love.
Some of the opera's troubles stemmed from a lightweight subplot involving the jailer's daughter, who falls in love with "Fidelio," and the turnkey, who in turn loves the daughter; in the opera's first versions, exposition of this material excessively delayed the unfolding of the central plot line, a problem compounded by the expansiveness of Beethoven's music. Another problem was the overtures (Leonore No. 2 in 1805, Leonore No. 3 in 1806), which incorporated the opera's musicodramatic climax--the offstage trumpet call--anticipating and therefore detracting from its impact
later on. So Beethoven abandoned both these overtures. In 1807, for a projected Prague staging, Beethoven composed still another overture, which confusingly became known as Leonore No. 1; in this less monumental work, he replaced the trumpetcall with an episode based on the melody of Florestan's aria (in which he relates how his insistence on speaking truth has brought him chains), used in the introduc?tions to the earlier overtures. But the Prague performance never materialized, and in 1814, when the opera's opening scenes were more drastically overhauled and curtailed, the key structure required an overture in E major (all the Leonores are in C major), and Beethoven wrote the one now familiar as the Fidelio overture, which quotes no material from the opera.
Despite Beethoven's rejection of it as an overture, Leonore No. 3 has remained closely associated with the opera, for conduc?tors have understandably been unable to resist the temptation to play it. The custom of playing it between the two scenes of the opera's second act--that is, after the scene in which the trumpet call saves Florestan's life--dates back at least to the turn of the century, perhaps even further. For certain, it was a standard practice in Mahler's celebrated Vienna and New York productions. (It has the incidental advantage of allowing plenty of time for a change of scenery). Though no longer an anticipation of the opera's climax, Leonore No. 3, with its extensive and explosive celebration of C major, now immedi?ately precedes a scene itself devoted to similar celebrations of the same key and sonorities, which the overture can easily render anticlimactic ( not least because the finale, almost superhuman in its demands on the two principal singers, is rarely realized as effectively as the overture).
But Leonore No. 3 soon acquired an independent life in the concert hall as well, where the features that are defects in its original context were transformed into virtues. Its powerful, concise tonal drama, as well as its high energy, enabled it to stand alone with great success, and it became a model for the new genres of concert overture and symphonic poem culti?vated by the later Romantics, from Liszt and Wagner to Richard Strauss.
The overture begins with a massive G six octaves deep, from which a scale descends to a distant region. From this emerges the opening phrases of Florestan's aria in Aflat, a key that becomes the locus of s brief, massive climax that subsides and returns us to the threshold of C major. Pianissimo violins and cellos commence the aspiring, arpeggiobased Allegro theme. The second theme, also based on the melody of Florestan's aria (begun by the horns and handed over to flute and violins), arrives in the unusual key of E major (as distant from C as was Aflat, in the other direction). The stormy develop?ment is interrupted by the offstage trumpet call and the music of astonished, relieved reaction that follows it in the opera, after which flute and bassoon, using the first theme,
lead back to the recapitulation, now fortissimo. The flute is again prominent at the end of the recapitulation, suspensefully preparing for the Presto coda, which is introduced by a string cadenza--begun by "two or three violins," then adding the lower instruments. Syncopated sforzando accents add to the dynamism of the coda, which embodies Beethoven's un?equalled mastery at deploying repetitions of the most common chords in patterns governed by an acute sense of rhythm, proportion, and harmonic tension.
Alban Berg
Bom February 9, 1885, in Vienna Died December 24, 1935, in Vienna
Violin Concerto
Berg's Violin Concerto was commissioned in January 1935 by Louis Krasner and completed on August 12 of that year. Krasner gave the first performance in Barcelona on April 19,1936, with Scherchen conducting. The orchestra includes twofultes (both doubling piccolo), two oboes (one doubling English horn), two clarinets, one alto saxophone (doubling a third clarinet), one bass clarinet, two bassoons, one contrabassoon, four horns, two trumpets, two trombones, one contrabass tuba, two pairs of kettledrums, bass drum, cymbals, snare drum, large tamtam, tringle, gong, and strings.
Among those "overwhelmed" at the New York premiere of Alban Berg's opera Wozzeck in 1931 under Leopold Stokowski was a young Russianborn violinist, Louis Krasner (b. 1903). In Vienna in January 1935, after hearing a private performance of Berg's Lyric Suite for string quartet, Krasner resolved to commission a concerto from Berg. The com?poser, at first reluctant, finally agreed, warning that it would take time; the previous spring, he had finished the short score of his new opera Lulu and, despite uncertain performance prospects, he was in the process of orchestrating the opera. However, on April 22, 1935, Manon Gropius, eighteenyearold daughter of Alma Mahler and the architect Walter Gropius, died from infantile paralysis. Alma Mahler was one of Berg's oldest friends, and the beautiful Manon was much admired by the many artists in Alma's circle. Obtaining Alma's permission to dedicate his new violin concerto "to the memory of an angel," Berg put Lulu aside and he set to work at an uncom?monly rapid pace: the concerto was completed in short score in three months and orchestrated by August 12.
Both its movements are divided into two principal sections. The first movement, a portrait of Manon, comprises a lyrical Andante and a Scherzo (Allegretto); the second, representing her illness, death, and transfiguration, begins with an Allegro containing strong elements of a cadenza, followed by an Adagio. Berg's Mahlerian penchant for the use of genuine andor composed material in vernacular styles, conspicuous
in Wozzeck, figures prominently in the concerto as well, in the form of quotations suggesting several layers of extramusical reference. Recent scholarship has also uncovered a numerological dimension in the work, involving the numbers Berg associated with himself and Hanna FuchsRobettin, a married sisterinlaw of Alma Mahler, with whom he was in love in his later years.
The bare fifths with which violin and orchestra begin the Andante are filled in with thirds to create ascending interlocking triads when the violin states the principal theme (the work's twelvetone set), which concludes with four ascending steps, the intervals that will begin the Bach chorale introduced in the final movement. At first the violin is set in high relief, accompanied principally by winds, the orchestral strings mainly playing unobtrusive pizzicatos.
The Scherzo material has a Viennese character, framing an energetic first Trio that recurs after a more static second Trio. Near the end of the movement, horn and then solo violin quote a Carinthian folk melody--a song whose risque original text refers to "oversleeping in Mizzi's bed." This might refer to Manon Gropius (whose nickname was "Mutzi"), but there had much earlier been a "Mizzi" in Berg's life, a servant girl in his family's house in Carinthia named Marie Scheuchl, by whom he fathered an illegitimate daughter in early 1902.
The second movement begins ominously, and is soon dominated by an obsessive rhythm that dogs some very complex virtuoso music for the soloist, including widespaced multiple stops that at one point set forth a fourpart canon. Eventually, the rhythm drives to a climax of clearly catastrophic import, then fades to near stillness.
At this point the violin begins a Bach chorale, the text of which Berg inscribes in the concerto score (as he did not do with the folksong text). This chorale begins with a remark?able phrase that leaves the home key.already with its fourth note, and Bach's harmonization (from his Cantata No. 60), which Berg quotes in alternating phrases with his own, is strangely compatible with the concerto's own tonal idiom. The chorale's text is obviously germane to a requiem:
Es ist genug!
Herr, wenn es Dir gefallt,
so spanne mich doch aus!
Mein Jesu kommt:
nun gute Nacht, o Welt!
Ich fahr' in's Himmelhaus.
Ich fahre sicher hin mit
Frieden,
mein groSer Jammer bleibt
darnieden.
Es ist genug.
Es ist genug.
It is enough!
Lord, when it pleases thee,
then relieve me of my
burden.
My Jesus comes:
now good night, oh world!
I go to my home in heaven.
1 surely go there in peace,
my great suffering remains
below.
It is enough.
It is enough.
Two variations on the chorale follow. During the first, the solo violin begins an ascending lament that is gradually joined by the orchestral strings, while winds and brass continue to occupy themselves with transformations of Bach's melody. The Carinthian folksong returns in the violin, and a brief coda ends with an "addedsixth" chord that evokes both popular music of the perrod and the final chord of Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde, that most potent musical embodiment of leavetaking from the world.
If, as the various biographical references suggest, Berg may have conceived the concerto as a portrait of--and requiem for--himself as well as for Manon Gropius, it proved all too prescient. His normally shaky health was not improved by his feverish work on the concerto, and, after the piece was finished, a waspsting brought on a serious abscess, followed other painful and debilitating complications. Berg attended the Vienna premiere of the Symphonic Pieces from Lulu on December 11, but his condition steadily worsened, and he died on December 24, without ever hearing a performance of the Violin Concerto, or of any other music from Lulu.
Igor Stravinsky
Bom June 5 (old style) or June 17 (new style), 1882, in Oranienbaum (Lomonosov), near St. Petersburg.
Died April 6. 1971, New York City
The Rite of Spring
The initial idea for The Rite of Spring came to Stravinsky in 1910, and, after working out a scenario with the painter Nicholas Roerich in the summer of 1911, he began the music, completing the sketch score on November 27,1912: "Today...with an unbearable toothache I finished the music of the Sacre. I. Stravinsky, Clarens [Switzerland], Chatelard Hotel." The end of the full score was reached on 8 March 1913, with further additions and corrections during the next few weeks. Subtitled "Pictures from pagan Russia in two parts," the ballet was first performed by Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes at the The&tre des Champs Elysees in Paris on May 29, 1913; Pierre Monteux conducted, the choreography was by Vaslav Nijinsky, the scenery and costumes by Roerich, and Marie Piltz danced the Chosen One. The Metropolitan Opera first performed the ballet, as part of a Stravinsky triple bill, on December 3, 1981, conducted by James Levine.
The score calls for piccolo, three flutes (one doubling second piccolo), alto flute, four oboes (one doubling second English horn), English horn, one high clarinet, three clarinets (one doubling second bass clarinet), bass clarinet, four bassoons (one doubling second contrabassoon), contrabassoon, eight horns (two doubling Wagner tubas), high trumpet, four trumpets (one doubling bass trumpet), three trombones, two bass tubas, timpani (two players),
bass drum, tamtam, triangle, tambourine, guero (a scraped gourd), antique cymbals, and strings.
In December 1912, Stravinsky wrote to a journalist in Russia: "My first thoughts about my new choreodrama Vesna Sviashchennaia (Le Sacre du Printemps, Friihling der Heilige) came to me as 1 was finishing The Firebird, spring 1910.1 wanted to compose the libretto together with N. K. Roerich, because who could help me if not Roerich; who if not he is privy to the whole secret of our forefathers' closeness to the earth" The collaborator in question, Nicholas Roerich (18741947), was a leading figure in the "World of Art" movement, the central impulse behind Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, for which he had designed the "Polovtsian Dances" from Prince Igor. An artist but also a student of ethnology, Roerich was, in the words of Alexander Benois (another Ballets Russes artist), "utterly absorbed in dreams of prehis?toric, patriarchal, and religious life."
In his later autobiography, Stravinsky described more precisely his initial idea--not musical, but rather "a fleeting vision": "I saw in imagination a solemn pagan rite: sage elders, seated in a circle, Watched a young girl dance herself to death. They were sacrificing her to propitiate the god of spring." This "vision" was very possibly suggested by lar a 1907 volume of poems by Sergei Mitrofanovich Gorodetsky (18841967), two of which Stravinsky had set to music in 190708; another, from a group entitled "larila," describes the sacrifice of a maiden by an ancient wizard during the carving of an idol to the Slavic sun god larilo. At any rate, according to musicologist Richard Taruskin, the anthropological literature Roerich would have known reports no Slavic rituals of human sacrifice, so this central feature of the ballet may well have been planted in Stravinsky's mind by Gorodetzky's poem. Otherwise, Taruskin testifies, "virtually everything in the work's scenario" can be found in sources probably familiar to Roerich, including the medieval Primary Chronicle compiled by Kievan monks, and Book IV of Herodotus' The Persian Wars, describing the Scythians of antiquity.
A preliminary scenario appears to have been developed in 1910. At this point, the collaborators referred to their work as Velikaia Zhertva--"Great Sacrifice." (Mikhail Fokine, choreogra?pher of Firebird and Petrushka, was originally part of the team, but he was later replaced by Vaslav Nijinsky.) By July 1911, when Stravinsky visited Roerich at Princess Tenichev's country estate near Smolensk and evolved a more detailed plan for the action, the "Great Sacrifice" had become the second part of a work called Vesna Sviashchennaia--literally, "Holy Spring." Eventually, the imprecise French title, Le Sacre du Printemps, and its English translation, "The Rite of Spring", became sanctified by usage in the Western world.
Beyond that notquitecorrect title and the bare bones of Stravinsky's initial "vision," the Rite's theatrical substance fell into something like obscurity soon after the premiere indeed, for years most music listeners knew more about
what went on in the auditorium on that first night, one of history's most notorious theatrical scandals, than about the action of the ballet on stage. In retrospect that seems surprising, for if the scandal had a cause more significant than factionalism in the Parisian artistic world, that cause must have been the action on stage, since all accounts agree that the audience can hardly have heard much of the music, let alone grasped its revolutionary character. According to Stravinsky's various recountings, "heavy noise" began when the curtain rose, about three minutes into the music, never to cease; soon thereafter, he went backstage and "for the rest of the performance I stood in the wings behind Nijinsky holding the tails of hisrac, while he stood on a chair shouting numbers to the dancers, like a coxswain."
All told, the original StravinskyRoerichNijinsky Rite had just seven performances: three more in Paris, and three in London in July. When Diaghilev revived the ballet in 1920, there was new choreography by Leonid Massine, who was also responsible for important subsequent mountings, including the American stage premiere in Philadelphia on April 11, 1930, with Martha Graham as the Chosen One. More than forty further choreographic settings have followed (one of them by Graham herself), paying more or less homage to the general idea of a sacrifice but also, by their sheer number and variety, still further diluting public awareness of the original conception and its strong ethno?logical roots.
It must be added that for some decades Stravinsky cheer?fully acquiesced in this collective amnesia, even helped it along. To him, the rejection of the original Rite on the first night was a rude humiliation, unassuaged by the tranquil reception of the subsequent performances (ill with typhus, he attended none of them). Far more pleasurable was the first Western concert performance, nearly a year later: "At the end of the Danse sacrale the entire audience jumped to its feet and cheered....A crowd swept backstage. I was hoisted to anonymous shoulders and carried into the street and up to the Place de la Trinite."
Forced by the Russian Revolution to choose between his homeland and the West, Stravinsky elected the side of his bread that Diaghilev buttered; like the Ballets Russes itself, he became part of the Parisian artistic world in its heyday of antiRomanticism and neoclassicism, where ethnic roots had no place. In 1920 and later, he praised Massine's more abstract choreography of the Rite at the expense of Nijinsky's original, and, instead of invoking "the sublime uprising of Nature renewing herself--the whole pantheistic uprising of the universal harvest" (as in a 1913 interview), he preferred to characterize the score as an "objective construction," an "architectonic work." In the absence of Russian scholarship or sources, Stravinsky became the prime authority on his early masterpiece, tailoring his
testimony to the image he now wished to project of his beliefs and development. (As Maynard Solomon wrote recently, "The autobiographical act is often a medium for reconciling conflicting aspects of the self; it is a creative process, and thus lends itself to revisionist pursuits.")
The urRi(e began to resurface some twentyfive years ago, with the facsimile publication of the sketchbook in which most of the score was composed, accompanied by a tran?script of Stravinsky's handwritten choreographic annota?tions from a newly rediscovered score. Related letters and documents have confirmed the importance Stravinsky, as much as Roerich, ascribed to anthropological authenticity. Scholarly digging has challenged the composer's later assertion about his melodic sources: "The opening bassoon melody in Le Sacre du Printemps is the only folk melody in that work. It came from an anthology of Lithuanian folk music..." Examining the anthology in question, the late Lawrence Morton identified antecedents for several more melodies in the Rite, and Taruskin has since uncovered others. (The point is more important historically and esthetically than musically: a "starting point in reality" was a major tenet of the "World of Art" credo, observed here by Stravinsky as in his earlier ballets--but he later preferred to represent the Rite as the beginning of his new, "abstract" style.) Mapping the jungle of Stravinsky's revisions and corrections of his musical score, the Canadian musicologist Louis Cyr has argued the validity of some first thoughts over later, possibly expedient simplifications. And in 1987 the Joffrey Ballet staged Nijinsky's Rite as reconstructed by Millicent Hodson (choreography) and Kenneth Archer (sets and costumes)--a controversial effort that has at least reestablished the original theatrical conception in public consciousness.
Several versions of the scenario were published. Perhaps most appropriate for a concert audience is the one Stravinsky furnished for Serge Koussevitzky's 1914 performance:'
Holy Spring is a musicalchoreographic work. It represents pagan Russia and is unified by a single idea: the mystery and great surge of the creative power of Spring. The piece has no plot, but the choreographic succession is as follows:
First Part: The Kiss of the Earth: The spring celebration. It takes place in the hills. The pipers pipe and young men tell fortunes. The old woman enters. She knows the mystery of nature and how to predict the future. Young girls with painted faces come in from the river in single file. They dance the spring dance. Games start. The Spring Khovorod [a round dance]. The people divide into two groups, opposing each other. The holy procession of the wise old men. The Oldest and Wisest interrupts the spring games, which come to a stop. The people pause trembling before the great action. The old men bless the spring earth. The Kiss
77
of the Earth. The people dance passionately on the earth, sanctifying it and becoming one with it.
Second Part: The Great Sacrifice: At night the virgins hold mysterious games, walking in circles. One of the virgins is consecrated as the victim and is twice pointed to by fate, being twice caught in the perpetual circle. The virgins honor her, the Chosen One. They invoke the ancestors and entrust the Chosen One to the old wise men. She sacrifices herself in the presence of the old men in the great holy dance, the great sacrifice.
Having thus insisted upon the ballet's origins, we must equally recognize that its status in history and in the repertory is due to the score, which on its own has far outstripped any and all choreographic versions in familiarity and frequency of performance--and continues to do so. (Dance companies stage the Rite, in part, to capitalize on the music's fame.) Stravinsky's starting point was similar to those for Firebird and Petrushka, and many stylistic elements were already at hand in those earlier scores: the combina?tion of conflicting harmonies (as in the famous "Petrushka chord"), the use of irregular andor frequently changing meters, the cinematic "crosscutting" between contrasting materials (sometimes climaxed by their superposition). But this time the chemistry of creation carried him much further, to a work of epochmaking originality.
The Rite's most celebrated innovations are rhythmic. Although in the First Part and the beginning of the Second the music is still founded upon steady pulses, the rhythmic stresses irregularly confound our expectations of regularity (after feeling steadily offbalance through several cycles, finding oneself back on the right foot can be equally disorienting). This is exemplified right after the piping of the Introduction, in the "Augurs of Spring": chugging string chords mark a pulse, horn chords and subsequent materials offer a variety of conflicting testimony about strong beats. In the "Ritual of Abduction," themes are repeated with stresses shifted, phrases are restated with beats added or subtracted. In "Rounds of Spring," flute trills and a high clarinet melody frame slow and then fast music. "Ritual of the Rival Tribes" begins by stating three distinct, compact materials, the first two (low trombones with timpani, chugging horns) respec?tively assigned to the two tribes, the third (tutti) to their clash; later, trumpets add a melody that circles back and forth across four notes. Soon the trombones cut through with a broader melody that leads into the "Procession of the Sage," as various orchestral voices stack up repeating phrases of different lengths (the bass drum's beats most prominently at odds with everyone else). This breaks off for the solemn moment when the Oldest and Wisest kisses the earth. In the "Dance of the Earth," the orchestra hammers out irregular chords over a threebeat pattern in the basses.
Tension relaxes in the Second Part's astringently chromatic Introduction and opening scene ("Mystic Circles of the Young Girls"), but is restored by the only gradual tempo transition in the Rite, an accelerando to a hard chord struck elevenfold to introduce the "Glorification of the Chosen One." Here, at first, we can't comfortably feel the underlying pulse (there is one, but it's superrapid and unevenly expressed)--and, if we ever think we've found it, it never persists for long. The "Evocation of the Ancestors" restores pulse, but not predictable regularity, though the "Ritual Action of the Ancestors" hews predominantly to quadruple meter. A bassclarinet descent to the depths introduces the "Sacrificial Dance"--"which 1 could play, but did not, at first, know how to write," reported Stravinsky. The jagged opening material of this dance recurs as a refrain around other matter more apparently stable: the first contrasting section, centered around a repeated chord, restores pulse but not regularity of phrase length, and later episodes feature intricate timpani patterns. The dance lurches to a climax: with an upward flute run, the Chosen One col?lapses, followed by a final crash (one of the mostrevised sonorities in the whole score).

NOTES
Based on the translation in Vera Stravinsky & Robert Craft, Stravinsky in Pictures and Documents (Simon and Schuster, 1978), p. 75. (Characteristi?cally for this infuriating and fascinating grabbag book, a different translation of the same synopsis is given on p. 526.) Stravinsky's longest and most detailed account of the action is also there (pp. 52426), part of an interview published in Paris on the morning of the premiere, so verbally extravagant that the composer quickly disavowed it.
Ab out the Artists
In the 22 years since his debut, artistic director JAMES LEVINE has developed a relationship with the Metropolitan Opera that is unparalleled in its history and unique in the musical world today. He has conducted an astounding range of repertoire there, from Mozart to Berlioz to Wagner to Verdi; Bellini, Rossini, Tchaikovsky, Puccini; from Strauss and Debussy to Berg, Schoenberg, and Stravinsky (including Met nremieres of
Idomeneo, La Clemenza di Tito, Porgy and Bess, Oedipus Rex, I Vespri Siciliani, Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny, Erwartung, and Lulu, and the world premiere last season of John Corigliano and William Hoffman's The Ghosts oj Versailles) -more than 60 operas in all, in well over 1000 performances (more than any other conductor in the history of the Metropolitan).
In addition, Mr. Levine inaugurated the "Metropolitan Opera Presents" television series for PBS, founded the Met's Young Artist Development Program, returned Wagner's complete Ring cycle to the repertoire (the first integral cycles in 50 years), and reinstated recitals and concerts with Met artists at the opera house -a former Metropolitan tradition. Expand?ing on that tradition, the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra has begun annual concert touring, to such diverse locales as the American midwest, Canada, Seville's Expo '92, Tokyo, and Carnegie Hall. Next season they will make their German debut in four concerts in Frankfurt to mark that city's 1200th anniversary. By then the tours will incorporate the chorus as well, giving the Met's performing forces an identity separate from, but complementary to, their roles in the opera house.
In addition to his responsibilities at the Met, James Levine is a distinguished pianist and an active and avid recital collabo?rator, not surprisingly, most especially, in Lieder recitals. He began accompanying song recitalists such as Jennie Tourel, Hans Hotter, and Eleanor Steber more than 30 years ago, and since that time has performed as pianist with many of the great singers of his lifetime, among them Jan Peerce, Adele Addison, Regine Crespin, Nicolai Gedda, Leontyne Price, Christa Ludwig, Placido Domingo, Birgit Nilsson, Cornell MacNeil, Kathleen Battle, Kiri Te Kanawa, Hermann Prey, Jessye Norman, Bryn Terfel, Luciano Pavarotti, Elisabeth Soderstrom, Renata Scotto, Martti Talvela, Tatiana Troyanos, Marilyn Home, Maria Ewing, Uwe Heilmann, Margaret Price, Dawn Upshaw, and Frederica von Stade.
For the past 20 years, Maestro Levine has also been Music Director of the Ravinia Festival, summer home to the
Chicago Symphony Orchestra, where he has demonstrated his uniquely diverse stylistic affinities conducting an immense repertoire of symphonic master?pieces, operas, major works for chorus and orchestra, works for unusual combinations of instruments, onecomposer marathons, oratorios, concerti, and performing as piano soloist in concerti, chamber music, and song recitals as well. He has been an integral part of the
Salzburg Festival since 1975, collaborating with the Vienna Philharmonic and the late director JeanPierre Ponnelle in some of the most memorable productions of opera the Festival has witnessed, including the longestrunning production in its history, Die Zauberflote, and the Salzburg Festival premieres of Offenbach's Les Contes d'Hoffmann and Schoenberg's Moses und Awn. Mr. Levine was chosen to conduct the 1982 Centennial Production of Parsifal in Bayreuth, and found the work in that special theatre so artistically satisfying that he has returned each summer to conduct its revival, and indeed, has even stayed on to conduct a second new production of the same opera. Beginning in 1994 he will lead Alfred Kirchner's new production of the Ring cycle there. Over the past twenty years, he has performed and recorded with most of the major orchestras in America and Europe, most notably the Vienna Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, London Symphony, and Dresden Staatskapelle.
James Levine holds honorary doctorates from the University of Cincinnati and the New England Conservatory, has been presented with the key to his native city of Cincinnati, and was unanimously elected the first recipient of the Annual Cultural Award of the City of New York, given for outstand?ing contributions to the cultural life of the city. For five years he was Music Director of the Cincinnati May Festival, the oldest continuing festival of choralorchestral music in the world. He has won ten Grammy Awards (including Best Opera Recording in 1,989, 1990, and 1991 for the first three releases in the Metropolitan Opera's recording of the Ring cycle, Das Rheingold, Die Walkure, and Golterdammerung), an Emmy for the telecast of the Met Centennial Gala, and has conducted three other Emmywinning telecasts for the "Metropolitan Opera Presents" series -La Boheme, "LookIn at the Met" with Danny Kaye, and Aida. He has been the "Musician of the Year" for Musical America, the subject of a cover story for Time magazine, and the subject of a fulllength documentary for public television.
ITZHAK PERLMAN S uniqueness in the rarefied ranks of superstar musi?cians stems from something more than his supreme artistic credentials. The combination of talent, charm, and humanity in this Israeliborn artist is unrivaled in our time and has come to be recognized by audiences all over the world who respond not only to his flawless technique, but to the irrepress?ible joy of making music that he communicates. President Reagan recognized these qualities when he honored Mr. Perlman with a "Medal of Liberty" in 1986.
Bom in Israel in 1945, Mr. Perlman comnleted his initial training at the
Academy of Music in Tel Aviv. He came to New York and soon was propelled into the international arena with an appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1958. Following his studies at the Juilliard School with Ivan Galamian and Dorothy DeLay, Mr. Perlman won the prestigious Leventritt Competition in 1964, which led to a burgeoning worldwide career.
Since then, Itzhak Perlman has appeared with every major orchestra and in recitals and festivals throughout the world. In November 1987 he joined the Israel Philharmonic for historymaking concerts in Warsaw and Budapest, representing the first performances by this orchestra and soloist in Eastern bloc countries. He again made history as he joined the Israel Philharmonic for its first visit to the Soviet Union in April and May 1990 and was cheered by audiences in Moscow and Leningrad who thronged to hear his recital and orchestral performances. In December 1990, he returned to Leningrad to perform in a gala performance celebrating the 150th anniversary of Tchaikovsky's birth. This concert, which also featured YoYo Ma , Jessye Norman, and Yuri Temirkanov conducting the Leningrad Philharmonic, was televised live in Europe and then broadcast in the United States and the rest of the world in the spring of 1991.
Mr. Perlman's recordings on the AngelEMI, Deutsche Grammophon, LondonDecca, CBS MasterworksSony Classical, and RCABMG Classics labels regularly appear on the bestseller charts and have won numerous Grammy Awards.
He garnered two Grammys at the 1991 awards presentation for his recordings of the Shostakovich First and Glazunov Concertos (with Zubin Mehta and the Israel Philharmonic) on AngelEMI, and the complete Brahms Sonatas for Violin and Piano, with Daniel Barenboim, on Sony Classical. Mr. Perlman's latest releases feature collaborations with other worldclass artists such as Barenboim and the Berlin Philharmonic, performing the Brahms Violin Concerto; Pinchas Zukerman and Lynn Harrell, in a live recording of Beethoven String Trios (both on AngelEMI); again with Mr. Zukerman, playing string duos by Mozart and Leclair (BMG Classics); Kathleen
Battle, performing Bach arias (Deutsche Grammophon); and Placido Domingo, in an album called Together (AngelEMI).
Numerous publications and institutions have paid tribute to Itzhak Perlman for his unique artistic and humanitarian contributions. Newsweek magazine featured him with a cover story in April 1980, and in 1981 Musical America pictured him as Musician of the Year on the cover of its "Directory of Music and Musicians." Several universities--including Harvard, Yale, Brandeis, Yeshiva, and Hebrew University in Jerusalem--have awarded him honorary degrees.
Mr. Perlman has entertained and enlightened millions of viewers of all ages, on television shows as diverse as "Sesame Street," the PBS series "The Frugal Gourmet," the "Tonight" show, the Grammy awards telecasts, several "Live From Lincoln Center" broadcasts, and the PBS specials "A Musical Toast" and "Mozart by the Masters," both of which he hosted. Most recently, the PBS documentary of his historic trip to the Soviet Union with the Israel Philharmonic, entitled Perlman in Russia (AngelEMI video), was honored with an Emmy award as best music documentary. His presence on stage, on camera and in personal appearances of all kinds speaks eloquently on behalf of the handicapped and disabled, and his devotion to their cause is an integral part of his life.
Itzhak Perlman lives in New York with his wife Toby and their five children. He has performed many times in Ann Arbor since his local debut in 1970.

THE METROPOLITAN OPERA ORCHESTRA
The Metropolitan Opera Orchestra is today regarded as one of the world's finest orchestras. From the time of the company's inception in 1883, the ensemble has worked with leading conductors both in opera and concert perfor?mances and has developed into an orchestra of enormous technical polish and style.
The Met Orchestra maintains a demanding schedule of performances and rehearsals during the thirtyweek New York season, when the company performs seven times a week in a repertory that normally encompasses approxi?mately twentyfive operas. Following the New York season, there are frequently tours, both in the United States and abroad, which in turn, are followed by a series of free concert opera performances in the parks of New York City and New Jersey.
The Orchestra has a distinguished history of performances as a concert orchestra, in addition to its opera schedule. Arturo Toscanini, who conducted almost 500 performances at the Met, made his American debut as a symphonic conductor with the Met Orchestra in 1913. Gustav Mahler, during the few years he was in New York, conducted fiftyfour Met performances. More recently, many of the world's great conductors have led the orchestra: Walter, Beecham, Reiner, Mitropoulos, Kempe, Szell, Bohm, Solti, Maazel, Bernstein, Mehta, Abbado, Karajan, Dohnanyi, Haitink, Tennstedt, and Ozawa. Carlos Kleiber's only United States performances of opera have been with the Met Orchestra.
The impressive list of instrumental soloists who have appeared with the Orchestra includes Efrem Zimbalist, Leopold Godowsky, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Josef Lhevinne, Arthur Rubinstein, Pablo Casals, Benno Moiseiwitsch, Josef Hofmann, Ferruccio Busoni, Jascha Heifetz, Wilhelm Backhaus, Moritz Rosenthal, and Fritz Kreisler. During the
Metropolitan's 198081 season the Met's artistic director, James Levine, conducted the orchestra in two performances of Mahler's Second Symphony.
The Orchestra's current high standing led to its first commercial recordings in nearly 20 years, Wagner's complete Ring cycle, conducted by James Levine. Recorded by Deutsche Grammophon over a period of three years, Das Rheingold, Die Walkure, and Gotterddmmerung axe. winners of an unprecedented three consecutive Grammy Awards in 1989, 1990 and 1991 for Best Opera Recording. Siegfried was nominated for the 1992 Grammy. Now in great demand for recording, Maestro Levine and the Met Orches?tra are involved with a series of complete operas for DG, as well as for Sony Classical, Philips Classics and Decca. Recent recordings by the Orchestra and Mr. Levine also include Donizetti's L'Elisir d'Amore, Verdi's Alda, Luisa Miller, and La Traviata, and Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro. Forthcoming releases include Verdi's Don Carlo and ! Trovatorc, Wagner's Parsifal, Schoenberg's Erwartung, and Puccini's Manon Lescaut. Also awaiting release are a collection of Wagner overtures, Verdi ballet music, and the Orchestra's first symphonic recording: a pairing of Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" and Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring."
In the spring of 1991 the Orchestra under the leadership of Maestro Levine began annual concert touring, which has since taken them to such diverse locales as Toronto, Ann Arbor, Seville's Expo '92, and Carnegie Hall. In addition to these two concerts as part of the Ann Arbor May Festival's centennial celebration, the Orchestra's 1993 tour includes two concerts in Carnegie Hall, and two concerts in Tokyo. In 1994 they will make their German debut, along with soloists and the Metropolitan Opera Chorus, in four concerts in Frankfurt to mark that city's 1200th anniversary.

Alban Berg
Bom February 9, 1885, in Vienna Died December 24, 1935, in Vienna
Three Excerpts from Wozzeck
Berg's opera Wozzeck, composed between 1917 and 1922, was first performed at the Berlin State Opera under Erich Kleiber on December 14, 1925; the Metropolitan Opera first presented it on March 5,1959, under Karl Bohm. The Three Excerpts that Berg extracted for concert use were introduced in Frankfurt on June 11,1924, conducted by Hermann Scherchen, with soprano Beatrice SutterKotlar. In addition to the soloist, the scoring calls for four flutes (two doubling piccolo), four oboes (one doubling English horn), four clarinets in Bflat (two doubling clarinet in Eflat), one bass clarinet, two bassoons, one contrabassoon, four horns, four trumpets, four trombones, one contrabass tuba, two pairs of kettledrums, cymbals, bass drum (with cymbal attached), rute (a bunch of birch twigs used as a drumstick), snare drum, large and small tamtams, triangle, gong, xylophone, celesta, harp, and strings.
On May 5, 1914, the 29yearold composer Alban Berg was in the audience for the local premiere of Wozzeck, a play left in fragmentary form by Georg Buchner (18131837). Buchner, a young Hessian doctor and protosocialist who died at the age of 24, based his play on a true event: on June 21, 1821, a 41yearold Leipzig barber named Johann Christian Woyzeck mur?dered his unfaithful mistress, claiming that supernatural powers had ordered him to kill her. (The editor of Buchner's fragments misread the name as "Wozzeck," and so it remained until the rediscovery of the historical background.) When finally performed, in 1913, the play made an enormous impression, both for its quasicinematic form and for its focus on the lowest levels of society.
Implementation of Berg's immediate resolve to make an opera of Wozzeck was impeded by the completion of his Three Orchestra Pieces, and then by World War I service in the Austrian army; even after illness brought reassignment to Vienna and eventually a desk job, he found it difficult to compose. In August 1918, writing to Anton Webem, Berg reported that he had managed "to finish something" of the opera:
It is not only the fate of this poor man, exploited and tormented by all the world, that touches me so closely, but also the unheardof intensity of mood of the individual scenes. The combining of four or five scenes into one act through orchestral interludes tempts me also, of course...! have also given thought to a great variety of musical forms to correspond to the diversity in the character of the individual scenes. For example, normal operatic scenes with thematic development, then others without any thematic material,...song forms, variations, etc.
The opera was completed in October 1921 and orchestrated by the following spring, but its unconventional subject and musical difficulty daunted most opera directors. At the suggestion of the conductor Hermann Scherchen, Berg in 1923 extracted the Three Excerpts for concert use; however, even before these were performed, Erich Kleiber, music director of the Berlin State Opera, had resolved to present the opera. After many intrigues and delays--not to mention 34 orchestral rehearsals--the premiere on December 14, 1925, proved a genuine if controversial success. Wozzeck was soon widely performed, and its royalties made Berg the most prosperous member of the Schoenberg circle.
The concert excerpts focus, not on the hallucinationridden soldier Wozzeck, but on his commonlaw wife Marie and their son, whom Wozzeck supports with the money a sadistic doctor pays him for submitting to bizarre medical experiments. The excerpts illustrate some of the features Berg mentioned in his letter to Webern--in particular, the orchestral interludes that connect the short scenes and the formal individuality of each episode. The prevalent har?monic idiom is atonal, although at various places Berg incorporates aspects of traditional tonality into the writing.
I. The first excerpt begins with the interlude that follows the opera's second scene, during which Wozzeck, gathering sticks at twilight with his fellow soldier Andres, has seen and heard strange things. A mood of eerie stillness is sustained by slow string harmonies, over which solo winds offer suggestions of military music and of a folksong Andres had sung. A march approaches as the curtain rises on Marie's room; at the window she and her child are watching the soldiers, led by a handsome drum major. The noisy march music alternates with a songlike trio, which occurs twice in the concert version; the second time, Marie sings along. When the march proper returns, she slams the window shut (in the opera, she is upset by a neighbor's insinuations that she lusts for the Drum Major) and then sings a cradle song to the boy.
Marie soon begins an affair with the Drum Major, and Wozzeck is tormented by his commanding officer and the doctor about this, further agitating him. In a tavern garden he sees Marie dancing with the Drum Major, who returns drunk to the barracks and thrashes Wozzeck.
II. The second excerpt begins Act III; in her room, the guiltridden Marie reads the Bible. Berg described this scene as an "Invention on a Theme"--in fact, a theme and seven variations followed by a fugue. Marie reads the story of Christ and the woman taken in adultery (theme, variations 12). Upset by the child (variations 34), she tells him the most desolate of fairy tales (variations 56, in F minor). Returning to the Bible, she seeks (variation 7) and finds the story of Mary Magdalene (fugue). When reading (and telling
the fairy tale), Marie uses Sprechstimme (speechsong); her direct speech to the child is sung normally.
In the opera's next scene, Wozzeck takes the unsuspecting Marie for a walk in a forest, cuts her throat, and throws the knife into a pond. Later he fearfully returns to the spot; searching for the weapon, he walks into the pool and drowns himself.
III. The third excerpt begins at this point, as ascending, overlapping, gradually slower scales in the orchestra suggest the waters closing over Wozzeck's body, followed by the croaking of toads. The subsequent interlude, according to Berg, is to "be understood from the dramatist's point of view as the epilogue which follows Wozzeck's suicide; it should also be appreciated as the composer's confession, breaking through the framework of the dramatic plot and, likewise, even as an appeal to the audience, which is here meant to represent humanity itself." Motives associated with Wozzeck are recalled, in the harmonic context of D minor--the opera's most extended passage with a traditional key center (the fairy tale in the second excerpt is in F minor).

The curtain rises on a street, where children, among them Marie's son, are playing and singing a round. When other children arrive and report the discovery of Marie's body, they tell the boy, "Hey! Your mother is dead!" As they run off to see, the uncomprehending boy continues to ride his hobby horse; the bleak stasis of slowly alternating chords persists after the fall of the curtain.
With Hitler's ascent to power in Germany in February 1933, Berg's world was shaken. Dismissed from the Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin, Schoenberg went into exile, first in Paris and then in America; the music of his school was branded as "degenerate." Kleiber had been expected to introduce Lulu, Berg's opera in progress, but in December 1934 the conductor resigned his position. Berg's income was drastically reduced; except for a London broadcast and an improbable 1942 production in Rome, Wozzeck was not again performed until after World War II.
Soldiers, soldiers, there's a splendid sight Come, my child. Some people! You're just a poor little son of a whore, yet your bastard face brings untold joy to your mother. Hushabye, baby...

Symphonic Pieces from the opera Lulu
Berg began his opera Lulu in 1929 and completed it in short score in June 1934, but interrupted the orchestration of Act III to compose his Violin Concerto; the opera remained incomplete at his death. A truncated version was performed in Zurich on June 2,1937; the complete score, with Act 111 edited by Friedrich Cerha, was first heard at the Paris Opera on February 24,1979, conducted by Pierre Boulez. the Metropolitan Opera presented the incomplete version in 1977, the completed form in 1980, both conducted by James Levine. Berg arranged five Symphonic Pieces from the score, finishing them in July 1934; Erich Kleiber introduced them in Berlin the following November 30, with the soprano Lii Claus as soloist. The orchestra includes three flutes (doubling piccolos), three oboes (one doubling English horn), three clarinets in Bjlat (two doubling Eflat clarinet), one alto saxophone, one bass clarinet, two bassoons, one contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, one contrabass tuba, two pairs of kettledrums, bass drum, cymbals, snare drum, large tamtam, triangle, gong, vibraphone, piano, and harp, and strings.

It pierces my heart to see the boy. Go away! Pushing himself forward like that! No, come; come here. Come to me.
"Once upon a time there was a poor little child,
and he had no father and no mother.
Everybody was dead and there was nobody left in
the world, and he was hungry and crying, day and night.
And because he had nobody left in the world..." Franz didn't come, not yesterday, not today... What is it that it says about Mary Magdalene
"And began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment."
Savior, 1 should like to anoint your feet! Savior, you had mercy on her, have mercy on me, too!
Ringaringaroses, Ringaringaroses,
Come and have a look!
Hop hop! Hop hop! Hop hop!
After failing in 1928 to clear the operatic rights for a play by Gerhart Hauptmann, Berg turned to a subject he had first encountered years earlier, the Lulu plays of Frank Wedekind (18641918), a writer and actor who strikingly prefigured the work of the expressionists. Earth Spirit (1895) and Pandora's Box (1902) show the effects of Lulu, a personification of demonic erotic power, upon society and its artificialities. Earth Spirit was not performed until 1898, but by the time Max Reinhardt staged it in Berlin in 1902, Wedekind was recognized as a serious artist. In 1905, when Karl Kraus presented Pandora's Box in Vienna, Berg, who had read and admired Earth Spirit, was in the audience.
As with Wozzeck, Berg.made his own libretto from the original dramatic text. And, as with Wozzeck, he prepared a concert sequence, even before the orchestration of the opera was completed. Indeed, we owe the orchestration of important passages in the third act to the concert version, for Berg scored the Variations and Adagio out of sequence to complete the suite; when the death of Alma Mahler's daughter Manon Gropius stimulated him to compose his
Violin Concerto, more than nine hundred measures of Lulu remained unscored. The history of the opera's subsequent vicissitudes is long and sad, including the suppression of the third act by the composer's widow, perhaps because she came to associate the opera with Hanna FuchsRobettin, the sisterinlaw of Alma Mahler with whom Berg was in love in his last years (Hanna's name is in fact encoded in the score). After her death in 1976, a completion by the Austrian composer Friedrich Cerha was made available, which has since become standard.
In the theater, Lulu's effect depends on the irony achieved by presenting its explosive subject matter in the form of tumofthecentury bourgeois drama (Oscar Wilde used campy wit to subvert the same framework), complete with such hoary conventions as letters and hurriedly concealed lovers. Lulu is the mistress of Dr. Ludwig Schon, a newspaper editor, who found her in sordid surroundings and brought her up, making her his mistress but marrying her to other men. When Schon decides to marry, Lulu uses her sexual hold over him to force him to marry her, but continues to carry on with various old friends, among them Schigolch, an old swindler who may be her father, the lesbian Countess Geschwitz, and Schon's own son Aiwa. Finally the desperate Schon gives her a gun to kill herself, but she uses it on him instead. A film shows Lulu's trial and conviction for murder and her escape from prison with the help of Geschwitz. Lulu escapes with Aiwa to Paris, and then to London where, penniless, she, Aiwa, and Schigolch live in an attic, supported by her earnings as a prostitute. Geschwitz arrives from Paris, and the two women are killed by Lulu's last client, Jack the Ripper.
Texts and Translations
3. Lulu's Song
Wenn sich die Menschen
um meinetwillen umgebracht haben,
so seizt das meinen Wert nicht herab.
Du hast so gut gewuSt,
weswegen Du mich zur Frau nahmst,
wie ich gewuSt habe,
weswegen ich Dich zum Mann nahm.
Du hattest Deine besten Freunde
mit mir betrogen, Du konntest nicht gut auch noch Dich
selber mit mir betrugen
Wenn Du mir Deinen Lebensabend zum Opfer bringst, so hast Du meine ganze Jugend dafur gehabt.
Ich habe nie in der Welt etwas anderes scheinen wollen, als wofur man mich genommen hat
Und man hat mich nie in der Welt fur etwas anderes genommen, als was ich bin.
I. Rondo (Andante and Hymn). Unlike the Wozzeck excerpts, the Symphonic Pieces from Lulu involved significant alter?ations of the operatic score, which is even more complexly structured than the earlier work. The first Symphonic Piece gathers together the elements of an interrupted rondo form in which Aiwa makes love to Lulu, beginning in the scene before she shoots Schon, resuming after she returns from prison.
II. Ostinato (Allegro). The film showing Lulu's conviction and escape is accompanied by an interlude whose second half is a retrograde of the first half, mirroring the reversal of Lulu's fortunes thanks to the selfsacrificing Geschwitz.
III. Lulu's Song (Comodo). After Schon has given Lulu the revolver, she sings an aria of selfjustification: she has never pretended to be anything other than she is. (This aria was dedicated to Berg's colleague Anton Webem for his fiftieth birthday.)
IV. Variations (Moderato). The interlude between the two scenes of Act III. The theme, a cabaret song by Wedekind, is heard in its simplest form, with a barrelorgan orchestration, only at the end of the movement and only in part. The first variation is in a blatant C major, the second bitonal, the third atonal, the fourth twelvetone.
V. Adagio (Sostenuto--Lento--Grave). Again, Berg combines several passages, from the opera's final scene. The opening section is the soliloquy in which the Countess Geschwitz considers suicide, followed by music originally heard in the interlude between Scenes 2 and 3 of Act 1, associated with the attraction between Schon and Lulu. A fierce dissonant chord breaks in: Lulu's scream as Jack the Ripper stabs her. On his way out, Jack knifes Geschwitz, whose last phrases of love for Lulu constitute her Liebestod.
If men have killed themselves for my sake, that does not make me worthless.
You knew very well why you took me as your wife, just as I knew why I married you.
You betrayed your best friends with me; you could hardly betray yourself with me.
If you have brought me your old age as a sacrifice, you have had all my youth in return.
1 have never in the world
pretended to be anything other than what I appeared to be.
And no one has ever taken me for anything other than what I am.

5. Adagio
Countess Geschwitz
Lulu! Mein Engel!
LaS dich noch einmal sehen!
Ich bin dir nah!...
Bleibe dir nah!...
in Ewigkeit!
Lulu! My angel!
Let me see you once more!
I am near you!...
I will stay near you!...
Forever!

Symphony No. 3 in Eflat major, Opus 55, Eroica
Beethoven's earliest sketches for the Symphony in Eflat were probably written down in the summer or autumn of 1802, though the principal composition took place the following summer and fall, with possibly some finishing touches added in early 1804. Beginning in the second half of 1804, the symphony was heard in private performances at the palace of Prince Franz Joseph von Lobkowitz, to whom it was dedicated, and early the next year it was played in a semipublic Sunday morning concert series conducted by Franz Clement (who would later be soloist in the premiere of Beethoven's Violin Concerto). Beethoven himself conducted the Eroica'sirst public performance on 7 April 1805 at the TheateranderWien.
The score calls for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, three horns, two trumpets, timpani, and strings.
Unquestionably, the world's favorite fact about Beethoven's Third Symphony is that it originally bore the name of Napoleon Bonaparte. Like many historical facts, this one has missing pieces and fuzzy edges. The principal authority is Beethoven's friend Ferdinand Ries:
"In this symphony Beethoven had Buonaparte in his mind, but as he was when he was First Consul. Beethoven es?teemed him greatly at the time and likened him to the greatest Roman consuls. 1 as well as several of his more intimate friends saw a copy of the score lying upon his table, with the word 'Buonaparte' at the extreme top of the title page, and at the extreme bottom 'Luigi van Beethoven,' but not another word. Whether, and with what the space between was to be filled out, I do not know. I was the first to bring him the intelligence that Buonaparte had proclaimed himself emperor, whereupon he flew into a rage and cried out: 'Is he then, too, nothing more than an ordinary human being Now he, too, will trample on all the rights of man and indulge only his ambition. He will exalt himself above all others, become a tyrant!' Beethoven went to the table, took hold of the title page by the top, tore it in two and threw it
on the floor. The first page was rewritten and only then did the symphony receive the title Sinjonia eroica."
This must have taken place in the latter half of May 1804; Napoleon assumed the title of Emperor on 18 May, and the news would have taken some days to reach Vienna. The copy of the score that Ries describes is among history's missing pieces, as is also Beethoven's autograph, and another copy made "early in the spring" of 1804 "to be forwarded to Paris through the French embassy," as reported by Count Moritz Lichnowsky to the often unreli?able Anton Schindler. What we do have is yet another copy, retained by Beethoven to the end of his life and originally labelled, in the copyist's hand, "Sinfonia Grande Intitulata Bonaparte de Sigr Louis van Beethoven." On undateable later occasions, "Intitulata Bonaparte" (Entitled Bonaparte) was crossed out, the words "Geschrieben auf Bonaparte" (Written about Bonaparte) added in pencil by Beethoven himself (and never deleted).
Letters provide some chronological markers. On 22 October 1803, perhaps even before the symphony was completed, Ries had written to the Bonn publisher Simrock that Beethoven "wants very much to dedicate it to Bonaparte; if not, since [Prince] Lobkowitz wants it [that is, the perform?ing rights] for half a year and is willing to give 400 ducats for it, he will title it Bonaparte" (and dedicate it to Lobkowitz). As late as 26 August 1804, three months after tearing up that titlepage, Beethoven wrote to the publisher Breitkopf & Hartel that "The title of the symphony is really Bonaparte." The new title, Sinjonia Eroica, cannot be traced earlier than October 1806, when it appears on the symphony's first publication, by the Kunst und IndustrieComptoir in Vienna; along with the phrase "composed to celebrate the memory of a great man."
Maynard Solomon plausibly suggests that the apparent backandforth was rooted not only in ethical and ideologi?cal concerns, but also in Beethoven's ambivalence towards Vienna (around this time, he was considering a visit to Paris, where a Bonaparte Symphony would have made a potent calling card). Still, it was basically the impulse to create a musical corollary to Napoleon--not the historical man, but the image he generated, especially in Germanspeaking lands, of a beneficent, allpowerful hero promising revolu?tionary freedom to all Europe--that inspired Beethoven to mightily expand his musical style. (That the scheme of his symphony made room, for the ambivalentlyregarded hero's funeral music surely did not decrease the psychological intricacy of the operation.) The new, "heroic" metamorpho?sis of the established classical musical language, foreshad?owed in the first movement of the "Kreutzer" Violin Sonata and first deployed over an entire work in the Eroica, would dominate Beethoven's music for the next decade, proving fruitful not only for the tragic and triumphant accents of the Fifth Symphony, but also for purposes as diverse as the Violin Concerto's broad lyricism and the Seventh Symphony's galvanic high spirits.
One of the "newest" facts about the Eroica (first pointed out in 1962 by the Soviet musicologist Natan Fishman) is that Beethoven drafted his first plan for a symphony in Eflat major as early as the summer or autumn of 1802. That plan, in the socalled "Wielhorsky Sketchbook," immediately follows the sketches for the Fifteen Variations and Fugue in Eflat major for piano, Opus 35. (The world's secondfavorite fact about the Eroica is, of course, that its finale is based on a theme already thrice used by Beethoven: in a contradance, in the finale of the ballet The Creatures of Prometheus, and as the theme of those piano variations.') The Wielhorsky sketch embraces only three movements; Beethoven scholar Lewis Lockwood describes them as "a slow introduction and an Allegro first movement, in Eflat major; a 68 slow movement in C major; and a Menuetto serioso in Eflat with Trio in G minor," and adds: "The absence of any thematic notation for a last movement is not owing to uncertainty about the Finale, as might be immediately thought; but rather, the content and location of the material invite the conclusion that the Opus 35 Variations were in some way to form the basis for the symphonic finale."
In other words, the initial impetus for the symphony may well have come from the potential these variations suggested for a symphonic finale. Among the evidence for Lockwood's case is the shape of the first movement's main theme in the sketch, an explicit relative of the Prometheus theme's bass line, which in both Variations and Eroica finale is presented and varied prior to the appearance of the tune itself. The Wielhorsky sketch also shows how far, at this point, Beethoven was from the symphony he eventually wrote: by stages, the slow introduction vanished, the 68 slow move?ment gave way to a funeral march, the "serious minuet" became a scherzo, and all the themes were much altered (though retaining the basis of broken chords that is a charac?teristic Gestalt of both sketch and final work). Most impor?tantly, as Lockwood says, "the colossal size and length of the work, which both Beethoven and later commentators have repeatedly emphasized as its greatest departure from earlier norms of symphonic composition, was probably not an integral aspect of the work in its earliest stage, but grew as a consequence of later phases of elaboration."
The Eroica's first listeners were not unaware of the novelty of its dimensions. The reviewer of the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung, writing in February 1805 of the semipublic perfor?mance, declared that "This long composition, extremely difficult of performance, is in reality a tremendously ex?panded, daring, and wild fantasia." The report in the Ereymuthige of the official premiere divides the listeners into three categories: Beethoven's friends consider the Eroica his masterpiece and expect the still uncultured public to come around eventually; others deny the work any artistic value; and a small group occupying the middle ground "admits that the symphony contains many beauties, but concedes that the connection is often disrupted entirely, and that the inordinate length of this longest, and perhaps most difficult of all
symphonies, wearies even the cognoscenti, and is unendurable to the mere musiclover." More coarsely, a chap in the gallery is said to have shouted, "I'll give another kreutzer if the thing will only stop!"
At this distance, we are hard put to imagine what a sensory overload the piece constituted to its first listeners; you listen to a piece differently if you have some idea of how long it will last, and no single movement known in 1805 was as long as the Eroica's first (including the exposition repeat that is more often heard today than thirty years ago). Two generations and less ago, Mahler's and Bruckner's sympho?nies still presented similar problems on first hearing, while perhaps the closest contemporary approximation to such betrayed expectations has been the shocking sensory underload that early minimalist works of Reich and Glass offered to audiences accustomed to the density, the rate of speed of events, in the music of Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, and Schoenberg.
In the Eroica, Beethoven does away with the slow introduc?tion used in his first two symphonies (the two intempo tonic chords that begin the first movement might be viewed as an "antislowintroduction," defining key, stress, and pace with maximum economy). The brave Eflat major stride of the opening theme very shortly slides into a chromatic shadow that is evaded in one direction at this point, in another, more serene way at the beginning of the recapitula?tion. The opening theme's second try runs up against a clot of syncopations--twobeat chords slicing across the basic meter of three, which will recurrently generate tension throughout the movement. A third, fortissimo presentation of the theme lands in a new key of the dominant (not until the end of the movement will it achieve the symmetry of a fullyrounded statement), with a varied series of new themes--a further cause of befuddlement to early listeners, as was the apparently "new" theme in the development section (first heard in the oboes, it's really a counterpoint to the string melody underneath, which is a filledin version of the main theme). The development is comparably extensive, ending with a suspenseful passage, basses striding duply against dialoguing fragments of the triplemeter main theme in upper voices--and then we are on the edge of the liome key, whose return is prematurely (and famously) anticipated by the first horn. The recapitulation is succeeded by a coda nearly as long, rising to renewed suspense that brings the main theme to celebratory fulfillment.
The accepted course of marches, funerary or otherwise, was along ternary (ABA) lines, and Beethoven's Marcia Junebre sets out observing this convention, along with such others as muffled drum rolls (usually imitated by the strings) and doleful dotted rhythms. The contrasting majormode Trio distills a vision of hope and triumph, and then the opening grief returns--only to be seized up in a turbulent fugal development that attains expressive regions inaccessible to the march conventions unaided. A second attempt to
91
Ab out the Artist
resume is answered by a further cataclysm, and when the main material returns definitively, it is over a restlessly striding texture. Mournful solace follows and, in the end, disintegration.
The thrumming background of the Scherzo's beginning-alternating two notes in a triple meter--embodies a jocular variant of the first movement's wrenching twoagainstthree, recalled more brutally near the end of the repeat when a formerly loping downward line suddenly becomes slashing even notes. The Trio features a virtuoso turn for the horns--one more than the standard comple?ment. (To Breitkopf, Beethoven wrote that "besides the regularly used instruments there are in particular three horns obbligato--I believe this will interest
the musical public." Though he found ample use for them throughout the symphony, this passage is clearly their raiscm d'etre).
The Finale embarks with a string cadenza beginning in a strange key (G minor, which will return later in a galvanic dance variation). As mentioned, we don't meet the Prometheus theme until we have made the full acquaintance of its bass line. Subsequent variations are less clearly demarcated, for the cumulative effect Beethoven desires in a symphonic finale will not tolerate the compartmentalization of traditional variation sets. The theme itself is succeeded by (1) a fugato variation; (2) a flute showpiece; (3) the Gminor dance; (4) a variation that begins as a simple flute statement but turns into another fugato and eventually builds to an enormous dominant; (5) a slow, spaciously lyrical expan?sion; and (6) a stately version with the theme in the bass register. The three repeated notes prominent in the theme then begin a harmonic quest, leading us again to the region of G minor, but this only renders still grander the surprise devolution into Eflat and home, celebrated with bursts of rejoicing from the horns.
This note first appeared, in a slightly different form, in the program book of the San Francisco Symphony c 1988, and is used by kind permission.
NOTES
"Beethoven wanted them titled Prometheus Variations, but the publisher forgot, and they have, ex post facto, acquired the nickname of "Eroica Variations."
In the last few seasons, RENEE FLEMING has emerged as one of our leading operatic artists, singing with distinction in theaters around the world. A winner of the 1988 Metropolitan Opera National Auditions and the 1990 Richard Tucker
Award, Ms. Fleming made her Metropolitan Opera debut two years ago, singing the Countess in Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro, a role that has served as her introduction to many opera houses, including the Houston Grand Opera, the Metropolitan Opera, the Opera Bastille in Paris, the Spoleto Festivals of both Charleston, South Carolina, and Italy, the San Francisco Opera and the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires. In the following season, Ms. Fleming appeared as Rosina in the world premiere of John Corigliano's The Ghosts of Versailles at the Metropolitan Opera, the last performance of which was televised for public television. She has performed many other leading operatic roles and has sung as an oratorio and concert soloist in the U.S. and abroad. A graduate of the Eastman School of
Music, Ms. Fleming won a Fulbright grant that enabled her to study in Germany. On her return, she attended the American Opera Center at the Juilliard School in New York and contin?ues her studies there with Beverley Johnson. In addition to the Metropolitan, New York City Opera, and Tucker awards, Ms. Fleming won a Career Grant from the Tucker Foundation in 1989, a George London Prize from N1MT and the Grand Prix at the International Singing Competition in Belgium. She is the recipient of an NIMT grant awarded by the Sullivan Founda?tion and the Shoshana Foundation's Richard F. Gold Career Grant.
Renee Fleming has appeared on national television twice in the past season: with Luciano Pavarotti on "Live from Lincoln Center: Pavarotti Plus" and on PBS' telecast of the Richard Tucker Gala taped in November at Avery Fisher Hall and aired in March 1992, with a second Richard Tucker Gala, taped in 1991, which was a Salute to American Music, aired in late 1992.
Among the recent highlights of Ms. Fleming's career are her debut at Milan's La Scala as Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni under Riccardo Mutiand her New York recital debut in Alice Tully Hall.
Brought up in Rochester, New York, Ms. Fleming is married to actor Richard Ross, and now makes her home in New York City. Tonight marks her Ann Arbor debut.

About the Artists
A native of Atlanta, Georgia, BARBARA COOK made her Broadway debut as the ingenue lead in the music Flahooky and subsequently played Ado Annie in the national company
of Oklahoma! During the first season of musical theater at New York's City Center, she appeared as Carrie in Carousel, a perfor?mance that was followed by the role of Hilda in the original production of Plain and Fancy. Ms. Cook went on to create the roles of Cunegonde in Candide and Marian in The Music Man, the latter portrayal earning her a Tony Award. She has played starring roles in many other productions.
In 1985 Barbara Cook made her Carnegie Hall debut and appeared as soloist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. She was the first popular artist to perform at San Francisco's Davies Sym?phony Hall. Ms. Cook has also performed at the Kennedy Center, the Cafe Carlyle in New York, the Carre Theater in Amsterdam, La
Fenice Opera House in Venice, and Espace Cardin and The Rond Point Theatres in Paris. She has appeared as special guest artist with the symphony orchestras of Atlanta and Phoenix.
Barbara Cook's recordings include eight original cast albums; two Ben Bagley albums of songs by Jerome Kem and George Gershwin; an album entitled Songs of Perfect Propriety, a collection of poems by Dorothy Parker set to music by Seymour Barab; and two recordings on the Columbia label, Barbara Cook at Carnegie Hall and As of Today. Her triumphant return engagement at Carnegie Hall, in September 1981, was captured on an album entitled It's Better With A Band, which was named a "Best of the Year" in the pop category by Stereo Review maga?zine. In September 1985 she appeared with the New York Philharmonic as Sally in the concert version of Follies, the RCA recording of which received a Grammy award. More recently, she recorded Carousel and the Disney album for the MCA label. Nominated in 1986 for an Olivier Award for her onewoman show at London's Albery Theatre, Ms. Cook received the Drama Desk Award in 1987 for her Broadway show A Concert for the Theatre, culminating a thirteenyear collaboration with her friend Wally Harper. Concerts with the Boston Pops, the Royal Philharmonic of London, the National Symphony at Wolf Trap, and the
London Symphony are some of Ms. Cook's recent engagements.
WALLY HARPER has had a varied career in popular music. A graduate of the New England Conservatory and the Juilliard School of Music, Mr. Harper has worked as musical
director, composer, dance arranger and conductor for many Broadway productions, including: Company, Irene, Peter Pan, The Grand Tour, A Day in HollywoodA Night in the Ukraine, Brigadoon, Nine, My One and Only, Barbara Cook A Concert for the Theatre, and Grand Hotel. He composed the offBroadway musical Sensations and several songs for Irene, as well as the dance music for the film The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. Mr. Harper produced the original cast recordings of A Day in HollywoodA Night in the Ukraine and My One and Only. He performs frequently with Barbara Cook, for whom he has produced and arranged four albums
including It's Better With A Band, for which he wrote the title song. The Disney aibum, arranged for symphony orchestra and Miss Cook, is their latest collaboration.
EARTHA KITT is
one of the few entertainers today whose career spans theater, film, nightclubs, television, and recordings--all with equal distinc?tion. Broadway stardom led to a recording contract and a succession of bestselling records, a Grammy nomination, as well as her first autobi?ography, Thursday's Child. She appeared
at the Persian Room, the Empire Room, the Latin Quarter, and London's Talk of the Town, where she holds the record for the longest run. Ms. Kitt made her return to Broadway in the straight dramatic play Mrs. Patterson, for which she received a Tony award nomination. During this period her other stage appearances included Shinbone Alley, The Skin of Our Teeth, The Owl and the Pussycat, and two London stage successes, Bunny and The High Bid. Besides New Faces, Ms. Kitt graced the films The Mark of the Hawk, opposite Sidney Poitier, St. Louis Blues with the late Nat King Cole, and Anna Lucasta with the late Sammy Davis Jr. Her television appearances include an episode of "Miami Vice," "Omnibus," guest appearances on several series
including "Mission Impossible," "I Spy" (for which she received an Emmy nomination), and "Batman," in which Ms. Kitt was the infamous Cat Woman.
Concert tours have taken her through Australia, Europe, and have included several Command Performances before Queen Elizabeth in London. In all, she has performed in over 100 countries. She was invited to the White House in 1978 by President Jimmy Carter and received her second Tony award nomination for her starring role in the musical Timbuktu, in which she appeared for over two years on Broadway and on national tour. A second autobiography, Alone With Me, was published in 1978, and a critically acclaimed featurelength documentary on her life entitled All By Myself was made by filmmaker Christian Blackwood in 1982.
Ms. Kitt lives in her 1773 farmhouse in Connecticut. She has a daughter, Kitt McDonald, married, who works as a fashion model.
"Green Eyes," "Amapola," "Yours," "Tangerine," "1 Under?stand," "I'm Glad There Is You," "1 Get Along Without You Very Well" and "Maria Elena"--all great songs and all hits of the fabulous JIMMY DORSEY ORCHESTRA.
In the spring of 1934 the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra was born at NuttingsontheCharles, in Waltham, Massachusetts. Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey thought they were on the scene to stay. But unfortunately, this was not to be: in 1935 at the Glen Island Casino, Jimmy and Tommy had an argument over the tempo of a tune and Tommy walked off the bandstand. Jimmy would lead his orchestra until he and Tommy were reunited as
coleaders of the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra in 1953. Jimmy Dorsey was one of the finest clarinet and alto saxophone players of his day and played solos that amazed his fellow musicians as well as his audiences. For eighteen years after Tommy departed, the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra had hit after hit after hit. Jimmy's greatest hits, and one of the last instrumental hits by any artist, was "So Rare." He received a gold record for it just two days before his death on June 12, 1957.
Trombonist JAMES ROBERT MILLER began his musical life in the heyday of the Big Band Era. With the rich, mellow sound of Tommy Dorsey (he uses one of Tommy's mutes), Jim continues today a career of over 40
years playing with and leading some of America's great big bands.
As a 15yearold Phoenix, Arizona, teenager, Jim got his first break with a local Latin group. Then he joined the U.S. Navy in 1955 and spent the next 24 years playing in and leading Navy bands before audiences that included five U.S. presidents and leaders of every South American country.
In 1970 Jim was selected to lead the NORAD Commanders, the only multiservice, binational band ever formed in the U.S., with band members from the U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force and the Canadian Armed Forces. This incredible 18piece band was featured on the Johnny Carson "Tonight" show and per?formed at Carnegie Hall.
Jim has written music for and performed with the Glenn Miller, Tex Beneke, Les and Larry Elgart, and Guy Lombardo bands and with such performers as Bob Hope, the Modemaires, the Pied Pipers, Mimi Hynes, Red Skelton and Liberace. In 1980 Jim became the Assistant Leader of his dear friend Lee Castle's Fabulous Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra. On December 1, 1990, following Lee's death, Jim became leader of his beloved Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra.
One of the most important jazz musicians in Detroit, BESS BONNIER is one jazz artist who chose to stay home. Some of her contemporary jazz friends--Barry Harris, Tommy Flanagan, Thad Jones, and Sir Roland Hanna--left Detroit and found success in the wider world of jazz.
Miss Bonnier has found her own success in the Motor City with a wide array of activities that has made her name synony?mous with fine jazz piano.
Detroitbom, Miss Bonnier (pronounced BONNyer) came of age in the same 1950s Detroit that produced a veritable "Who's Who" of jazz. After graduating from Northern High School with Tommy Flanagan, she studied music and English at Wayne State University before striking off on her own as a pianist. She first gained a measure of national attention in the late 1950s when Argo Records released her album entitled Theme for the Tall One. That record, long out of print, has become a collector's item.
In the 1960s, Miss Bonnier was the house pianist in the Jack Brokensha quartet in the latter's Detroit nightclub. During the 1970s she served as artistinresidence at Detroit's presti?gious Cass Technical High School and her video "Jazz History" course, created for Wayne State University's Adult Education Program, has been used over and over again since it was originally recorded.
From 1977 to 1980, she was the artistic coordinator for
the Detroit Institute of Art's popular Jazz at the Institute series that featured both local Detroiters and internationallyknown jazz musicians. Her own performances in the series have been broadcast over National Public Radio jazz stations.
Since 1982, Miss Bonnier, who has been called a "great jazz pianist" by Leonard Feather and a "jazz player of great feeling" by Ira Gitler, has been the regular solo pianist in the Detroit Institute of Art's Crystal Gallery (a recreation of New York's Plaza Hotel Palm Court) each Sunday afternoon. By popular demand, her artistry sets the mood for the After Glow at the DIA's fabulous Elizabethan Wassail Feast each December.
In addition to a nonstop schedule of private engagements and teaching workshops, Miss Bonnier has performed in several Montreux Detroit Jazz Festivals, played in the 1982 Kool Jazz Festival in Purchase, New York, and was one of the featured pianists, along with Barry Harris, Sir Roland Hanna and Tommy Flanagan, in the New York City program called the
"Detroit Piano Summit."
Miss Bonnier's newly released fourth recording, Bess Bonnier and Other Jazz Birds, on the Noteworks Records label, includes her latest composition and has guest artist appear?ances by Pepper Adams (baritone sax), Sir Roland Hanna (piano), Carol Sloane (vocal), and Larry Nozero (alto sax and flute). Her earlier recordings include Duet to Quartet (released on Noteworks Records in 1984), Theme for the Tall One, and The 26th Floor.
In tonight's appearance, Miss Bonnier is joined by bassist Jack Brokensha and guitarist Paul Keller.
Michele Ramo, guitarist, violinist, mandolinist, and com?poser is the leader of the MICHELE RAMO LATINJAZZ
TRIO, also featuring Jamie Rusling, percussionist, and Ken Kellett, bassist. Born in Italy, Mr. Ramo began his musical studies at the age of 13 and earned his Master's Degree in violin from the Conservatory of Caltanissetta in Italy in 1985. He has toured extensively in Europe as a recitalist and more recently has centered his career in the United States and Canada. He released five recordings and has appeared, earning great accolades, in prestigious clubs as a soloist and with the Marcus Belgrave Quintet and his own Latin ensemble. His programs feature his innovative works that the critics characterize as "music from the heart and soul of a true artist." Recently, Mr. Ramo received the "Best Acous?tic Guitar Award" and was winner of the "Jazz Hall of Fame Award" presented by the Metropolitan Music Cafe and Record Time during the First Annual Jazz Awards of Metropolitan Detroit. Mr. Ramo is a professor at the Royal Music Center in Royal Oak, Michigan.

Program Notes
by Michael Fleming
Giuseppe Verdi
Bom October 10, 1813, 'Roncole, near Busseto Died January 27, 1901, Milan
Requiem
Verdi's Requiem was first performed at the church of San Marco in Milan on May 22, 1874. The score calls for soprano, mezzosoprano, tenor, and bass soloists; mixed chorus; and an orchestra of three flutes and piccolo, two oboes, two clarinets, four bassoons, four horns, eight trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, bass drum, and strings.
To the listener who insists that sacred music should be one thing and secular music another, Verdi's Requiem will always be an enigma. Hans von Bulow made this mistake when he traveled to Milan to hear the first performance of the Requiem and wrote a scathing denunciation of it as "[Verdi's] latest opera, in ecclesiastical vestments." His comment was not so much wrong as irrelevant, and at least he had the good sense to apologize 18 years later for having made "a great journalistic howler."
Bulow misspoke himself while under the spell of Wagner. But even more, he reflected the tastes of the Protestant northern Europe, where sacred and secular music had concluded a stormy divorce not long before.
Verdi's wife of 40 years, Giuseppina, had a more sensible attitude when she defended the Requiem against such assaults. "They talk a lot about the more or less religious spirit of Mozart, Cherubini, and others," she wrote. "I say that a man like Verdi must write like Verdi, that is according to his own way of feeling and interpreting his text. The religious spirit and the way in which it is given expression must bear the stamp of its period and its author's personality. I would deny the authorship of a Mass by Verdi that was modeled upon the manner of A, B or C."
The Requiem, then, grew out of Verdi's own life and work. That there is plenty of opera in it is undeniable: the resetting of a discarded duet from Don Carlos as the "Lacrymosa" in the Requiem was only the most obvious borrowing from the secular to the sacred. In fact, there was little difference between the two for Verdi. For him, there was no contradiction between depicting the Catholic Church in the most unflattering light in Don Carlos and in requesting "one priest, a candle, a cross" for his funeral. "He knew that faith is a solace to men's hearts," wrote his librettist Boito, who knew him well. "To the laborer in the fields, the unhappy, the afflicted who surrounded him, he offered himself, without ostentation, humbly, austerely, as an example to their bur?dened consciences."
The Requiem had its beginnings as a tribute to another master of Italian music, Gioacchino Rossini. When the old
master died in 1868, Verdi proposed that a dozen of his countrymen join in composing a Requiem in his memory, each contributing a section. The plan foundered, but not before Verdi had written a "Libera me"--a setting of the part of the funeral liturgy that accompanies the blessing of the body before it is taken from the church.
Five years later, Italy lost another of its guiding lights, Alessandro Manzoni, whose novel I promessi sposi (The Betrothed) had given a new country what it had never had before: a common language. Verdi was too stricken by Manzoni's death to attend the funeral, but a few day later, he visited the grave, alone, to pay his homage.
"What can I say [about Manzoni]," Verdi had written when they met in 1848. "How to describe the extraordinary, indefinable sensation the presence of the saint, as you call him, produced in me. I would have gone down on my knees before him if we were allowed to worship men. They say it is wrong to do so and it may be, although we raise up on altars many that have neither the talent nor the virtue of Manzoni."
All this admiration was poured into the Requiem. This time, there would be no collaborators; Verdi wrote to the city fathers in Milan to offer to compose a Mass for their native son, on the anniversary of his death. Although a performance was scheduled for a church, chosen for its acoustics, the Requiem was not a liturgical work, but a tribute to a secular hero. Verdi reserved the premiere for himself, and afterwards, made a triumphant tour of Europe with the piece, performing it to acclaim in Vienna, Paris, and London.
Verdi had many models to follow: the plainsong requiem, the polyphonic requiems of the Renaissance, and the settings by Mozart, Cherubini, and Berlioz that had been written within the past 100 years. He owed something to each of them, but at this point in his career, he was confident enough of his own style to go his own way, even when setting such a venerable text.
The "Libera me" written for Rossini provided a starting point, but scholars disagree over just how much Verdi kept from this setting, since the manuscript is lost. The composer hinted that the recapitulations of the themes for the "Requiem" and "Dies irae" sections in the "Libera me" provided him with the outlines of a complete work, but surely this preliminary setting provided little more than a hint of the whole.
In the Requiem, no less than in his operas, Verdi sought out the parola scenka--the scenic word--in each text he set. Echoes of many of his stage works resound in the Requiem, especially hints of the angelic music of Elizabeth in Don Carlos in the soprano role of the Requiem and of the grand Inquisitor's sinister persona in the music allotted to the bass. Not to be overlooked is the skill Verdi acquired in writing for chorus in Aida, which he completed not long before beginning the Requiem.
Close attention to the words will tell the listener most of what he or she needs to know about the music, but a few special remarks are in order:
In the first movement, which embraces both the "Introit" and "Kyrie" of the Mass, Verdi uses a technique to which he will return again and again, letting the orchestra set the mood, while the singers declaim the text. Also typical of his method here is the fact that the last words heard in this section are "Christe eleison" (Christ, have mercy). This contradicts the letter of liturgical tradition but underlines the human, nondogmatic aspects of the Requiem that will turn up again and again.
The "Dies irae," a horrific picture of the last judgment, put into verse by the 13thcentury monk Thomas of Celano, has challenged every composer who set this text. Verdi set the poem as a grand operatic scena, with the chorus providing a recurring refrain, and the soloists, singly and in groups, filling in the outlines. Again, he departed from liturgical tradition, but he knew best how to paint a grand picture in music, having worked on a massive scale in Don Carlos and Aida.
The Requiem is nearly half over by the time we reach the "Offertorium," which in the ritual of the church comes nearer the beginning. Otherwise, Verdi follows the form of the Gregorian chant closely, beginning the contrasting middle section with a passage for the solo tenor and bringing back the chorus for the repeat of "Quam olim Abrahae," just as the Missal requires.
Texts and Translations
Requiem and Kyrie
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine;
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion,
et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem;
exaudi orationem meam,
ad et omnis caro veniet.
Requiem aeternam...
Kyrie eleison. Christe eleison. Kyrie eleison.
Dies irae
Dies irae, dies ilia,
Solvet saeclum in favilla: Teste David cum Sybilla.
Quantus tremor est futurus, Quando judex est venturus, Cuncta striae discussurus!
Tuba, mirum spargens sonum Per sepulcra regionum, Coget omnes ante thronum.
Mors stupebit et natura, Cum resurget creatura, Judicanti responsura.
The "Sanctus" prescribed for the chant version of the Requiem is one of the simplest in the repertoire. Verdi follows this tradition, keeping the movement very short and overlapping the text.
It is difficult to hear the "Agnus Dei" and not think of the choruses invoking an Egyptian god in Alda. Soprano and mezzosoprano soloists outline each of the verses, the chorus chiming in with a repetition that fills out, but does not overembellish, their simple prayer.
The "Lux aeterna" is a setting of the Communion verse in the liturgy, one of the few survivals in the chant books of an extended setting written at a time when the congregation still came forward to take communion at Mass. Again, Verdi bends the official text to end with a setting of the words pleading for "eternal light" to shine on the departed souls.
The Requiem ends where it had begun, with recollec?tions of the "day of wrath" and of the prayers for "eternal rest." Here, too, Verdi dips his pen into the operatic inkwell, for the soprano's dramatic recitation of the text "Libera me," and if he casts a look back at the requiem for Rossini in the final fugue, he also casts a glance forward at Falstajj, which likewise ends in a display of contrapuntal ingenuity, the Italian master taking the most Germanic of musical forms and bending it to his own purpose.
Requiem and Kyrie
Rest eternal grant to them, O Lord,
and may light perpetual shine upon them.
Thou, O God, art praised in Zion:
and unto thee shall the vow be performed in Jerusalem;
Hear my prayer,
Unto Thee all flesh shall come.
Rest eternal...
Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
Dies irae
Day of wrath and doom impending, David's word and Sibyl's blending; Heaven and earth in ashes ending!
O, what fear man's bosom rendeth, When from heav'n the judge descendeth, On whose sentence all dependeth.
Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth, Through earth's sepulchres it ringeth; All before the throne it bringeth.
Death is struck and nature quaking,
All creation is awaking,
To its judge an answer making.
Liber scriptus proferetur, Unde totum continetur, Ex quo mundus judicetur.
Judex ergo cum sedebit, Quidquid latet apparebit; Nil inultum remanebit.
Quid sum miser tune dicturus Quern patronum rogaturus, Cum vix Justus sit securus
Rex tremendae majestatis, Qui salvandos salvas gratis, Salva me, fons pietatis.
Recordarejesu pie, Quod sum causa tuae viae; Ne me perdas ilia die.
Quaerens me, sedisti lassus, Redemisti Crucem passus; Tantus labor non sit cassus.
Juste judex ultionis, Donum fac remissionis Ante diem rationis.
Ingemisco, tanquam reus; Culpa rubet vultus meus; Supplicanti parce, Deus.
Qui Mariam absolvisti, Et latronem exaudisti, Mihi quoque spem dedisti.
Preces meae non sum dignae; Sed tu bonus fac benigne, Ne perenni cremer igne.
Inter oves locum praesta, Et ab hoedis me sequestra, Statuens in pane dextra.
Confutatis maledictis, Flammis acribus addictis; Voca me cum benedictis.
Oro supplex et acclinis, Cor contritum quasi cinis; Gere curam mei finis.
Lacrymosa dies ilia, Qua resurget ex favilla, Judicandus homo reus. Huic ergo parce, Deus.
Piejesu Domine,
Dona eis requiem. Amen.
Offer tori urn
Domine Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae,
libera animas omnium fidelium defunctorum
de poenis inferni et de profundo lacu:
libera eas de ore leonis,
ne absorbeat eas tartarus,
Lo! The book exactly worded, Wherein all hath been recorded; Thence shall judgment be awarded.
When the Judge his seat attaineth, And each hidden deed arraigneth, Nothing unaveng'd remaineth.
What shall I, frail man, be pleading Who for me be interceding, When the just are mercy needing
King of majesty tremendous, Who dost free salvation send us, Fount of pity then befriend us!
Think, kind Jesus! My Salvation Caused thy wondrous incarnation; Leave me not to reprobation.
Faint and weary thou hast sought me, On the Cross of suff ring bought me; Shall such grace be vainly brought me
Righteous judge! For sin's pollution, Grant thy gift of absolution, Ere that day of retribution.
Guilty, now I pour my moaning, All my shame with anguish owning; Spare, O God, thy suppliant groaning!
Through the sinful woman shriven, Through the dying thief forgiven, Thou to me a hope hast given.
Worthless are my prayers and sighing, Yet, good Lord, in grace complying, Rescue me from fires undying.
With thy sheep a place provide me,
From the goats afar divide me,
To thy right hand do thou guide me.
When the wicked are confounded, Doom'd to shame and woe unbounded, Call me, with thy Saints surrounded.
Low 1 kneel, with heart submission; See, like ashes my contrition! Help me in my last condition.
Ah! That day of tears and mourning! From the dust of earth returning, Man for judgment must prepare him: Spare, O God, in mercy spare him!
Lord all pitying, Jesus blest,
Grant them thine eternal rest. Amen.

About the Artists
DAVID ZINMAN has emerged as one of the most admired conductors in America, both for his extraordinary success in building the artistic level and national reputation of the
Baltimore Sym?phony, of which he serves as Music Director, and for his highly praised guest performances with orchestras in Europe and North America.
His stature was enhanced in 1990 by winning three Grammy Awards: for a Nonesuch record?ing of vocal orchestral music with soprano Dawn
Upshaw and the Orchestra of St. Luke's, for a Sony Classical disc of cello concertos with the Baltimore Symphony and YoYo Ma, and for a Telarc P.D.Q. Bach disc (for which he used the pseudonym "Walter Bruno") Currently, his recording of Heinryk Gorecki's Third Symphony is enjoying phenomenal success, having reached No. 1 on the classical and No. 6 on the pop music charts in England and No. 5 in this country. The recording has also earned him two Grammy nominations.
Mr. Zinman's extensive discography of more than 45 releases has also earned him two Grand Prix du Disque awards and two Edison Prizes. He has also recorded in Europe with such orchestras as the Royal Concertgebouw, Dresden Staatskapelle, English Chamber Orchestra, and the Bavarian Radio Symphony for the Philips and AngelEMl labels. This afternoon marks his second Ann Arbor appearance.
In the few years since her debut in Puccini's La boheme with the Opera Company of Philadelphia in the spring of 1986,
KALLEN ESPERIAN has appeared on the world's major opera stages, including New York's Metropolitan Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, San Francisco Opera, Deutsche Oper in Berlin, Vienna State Opera, Opera de la Bastille in Paris, Buenos Aires' famed Teatro Colon, and Milan's La Scala. Her debut with the Deutsche Oper in West Berlin was with Luciano Pavarotti in La boheme. This success led to an immediate invitation for her to star as Mimi in a new Goetz Friedrich production of the opera in the 198889 season.
In 1989 she performed in the "Pavarotti Plus" concert at Avery Fisher Hall in New York, which was televised on the "Live from Lincoln Center" series on PBS. This, and a special appearance at a benefit concert for the Armenian Earthquake Relief at Camegie Hall, brought her to the special attention of the New York public before she made her debut with the Metropolitan Opera as Mimi, opposite Placido Domingo. She now makes her Ann Arbor debut.
Renowned for her rich mezzosoprano voice, FLORENCE QUIVAR is a regular guest of the world's leading orchestras and opera companies. She has appeared with the Metropolitan Opera for the last 10 consecutive seasons in numerous leading roles. Last season she appeared at the Met in The Masked Ball, which was internationally broadcast on the radio and taken on tour to Seville, Spain.
As a concert soloist, she has appeared with such ensembles as the New York Philhar?monic, Detroit Symphony, Boston Symphony, Cleveland Orches?tra, Chicago Symphony, Berlin Philharmonic, Bavarian Sym?phony, BBC Symphony, and London Philhar?monic. This season she made an
extensive tour of Spain, Munich, and Vienna with Zubin Mehta and the Israel Philharmonic. She also appeared on a concert with Kathleen Battle as part of the Great Performers Series at
Alice Tully Hall and was a guest on a nationally televised PBS "Gala of Stars" broadcast.
Ms. Quivar recently recorded her debut solo album of spirituals for Angel EMI entitled Ride on Kingjesus. Her discography also includes releases with the Vienna and Berlin Philharmonics, Cleve?land Orchestra, and the Boston, Toronto, Cincinnati, and Montreal Symphonies. These appear on the Deutsche Grammophon, Vox, Philips, Telarc, Nonesuch, Erato, and Sony CBS labels. This afternoon, Ms. Quivar performs in Ann Arbor for the first time.
American tenor JONATHAN WELCH has emerged as one of today's most distinctive vocalists. Dividing his time
between Europe and the United States, he appears in a broad range of opera, concert, and recital engage?ments each season and has earned particular acclaim for his interpretations of many of the most famous lyric tenor roles.
He has appeared with such distinguished companies as the Lyric Opera of Chicago, Vienna Staatsoper, Scottish Opera, Opera de la Bastille in Paris, Zurich
Opera, Hamburg Staatsoper, and the opera houses of Berlin, Dusseldorf, and Frankfurt, among others. During the 198990 season he made his Salzburg Festival debut in Strauss' Capriccio and appeared at the Munich Opera Festival. That same season he made his New York debut at Carnegie Hall with the Collegiate Chorale in Mendelssohn's Elijah. The following season he joined the Metropolitan Opera, which engaged him for the role of Tamino in The Magic Flute.
Mr. Welch has recorded for Naxos Records, singing the role of Rodolfo in La boheme. This performance marks his Ann Arbor debut.
One of the most versatile singers today, JAMES MORRIS has appeared on the world's great operatic and concert stages. In addition to his regular appearances at the Metro?politan Opera, Mr. Morris has appeared with the Lyric Opera of Chicago, Canadian Opera Company, Houston Grand Opera, Vienna Staatsoper, Salzburg Festival in Munich, Milan's La Scala,
Florence's Teatro Communale, Glyndebourne Festival, and the Australian Opera in Sydney and Melbourne. His orchestral engagements have included the Chicago Sym?phony, New York Philharmonic, and the National, Atlanta, San Francisco, and St. Louis Symphonies.
Morris has been featured in many gala performances in recent seasons, including the Met's internationally televised Centennial Birthday Celebration and a "Live from Lincoln Center" gala concert broadcast with Zubin Mehta and the New York Philharmonic. He was also featured in the roles of Wotan
and the Wanderer in the Met's Ring performances, telecast nationwide in 1990.
Mr. Morris recently recorded the complete Ring cycle twice; he is the WotanWanderer in both AngelEMI and Deutsche Grammophon recordings of Wagner's monumental masterpiece. In addition, he can be heard on other operatic and orchestral recordings on the Deutsche Grammophon, Sony Classical, and Angel labels. Mr. Morris now makes his Ann Arbor debut.
THOMAS HILBISH is
Professor Emeritus of Music and Director Emeritus of University Choirs at the University of Michigan and has served as conductor of the Choral Union and Festival Chorus for the past three seasons. Following 16 years as supervisor of music in the Princeton public schools, he joined the UM faculty in 1965. He soon formed the UM
Chamber Choir, which became internationally recognized for its excellence as it toured under his direction through Europe and the Soviet Union. The Chamber Choir made several recordings under Mr. Hilbish's leadership, one receiving a 1981 Grammy nomination
The UNIVERSITY CHORAL UNION has performed with distinguished orchestras and conductors throughout the past 114 years, including last season's highly acclaimed performances of Carmina Burana with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and Neeme Jarvi in both Detroit's Orchestral Hall and Ann Arbor's Hill Auditorium. In addition to sharing the Hill Auditorium stage with worldclass musicians in Ann Arbor's prestigious May Festival, members of the Choral Union and the smaller Festival Chorus have performed in seven countries on three concert tours under the leadership of Donald T. Bryant, who directed the chorus from 1969 to 1989. During the 199394 season the Choral Union will perform several works with the Detroit Symphony Orches?tra at Orchestral Hall.
The long choral tradition of the University Musical Society reaches back to 1879, when a group of local church choir members and other interested singers came together to sing choruses from Handel's Messiah, an event that signaled the birth of the University Musical Society. Strengthening this centuryold spirit of community collaboration, chorus membership remains open to all by audition, with a resulting mix of townspeople, students, and faculty with one common denominator--a love of music and singing.

The DETROIT SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, heard live by over 350,000 people annually, performs yearround concerts which include 26 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 diverse summer season, and annual tours in the state of Michigan. Among the educational activities the Orchestra offers are the free Educational Concert Series, Detroit Symphony Civic Orchestra concerts, a Docent and Student Ticket Distribu?tion Program, the DSO Fellowship Program, and the annual Unisys AfricanAmerican Composers Forum and Sympo?sium.
In September 1990, internationally acclaimed conduc?tor Neeme Jarvi became the eleventh Music Director of the DSO. One of today's most recorded conductors, Mr. Jarvi has embarked on an extensive recording project with the DSO for Chandos Records for distribution on six continents. Released in June 1991, the first disc, containing American music, was critically acclaimed and appeared on the Billboard magazine Top Classical Albums chart for 14 weeks. Their second American disc was Neeme Jarvi's 100th release for Chandos. Receiving international critical acclaim, this disc also climbed the Billboard charts, and Mr. Jarvi and the DSO were featured on the cover of numerous international record magazines, including Gramophone, CD Review, Fanfare, Luister, and Diapason.
The DSO's latest recording with Neeme Jarvi was
released in January 1993 and contains works by two of this century's most important AfricanAmerican composers: Duke Ellington and William Grant Still. The disc is dedi?cated to the memory of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., and is the best seller in this series so far.
With a distinguished history of recording dating back to 1928, the Orchestra has also made awardwinning discs on the London, Columbia, RCA, and Mercury Records labels.
The DSO also continues its long history of national radio broadcasts, which began with its participation in the first complete symphonic radio broadcast in 1922. That same year it became the first official radio broadcast orchestra in the nation. Through the generous support of General Motors Corporation, the DSO was heard this season on over 439 radio stations nationwide.
On October 11, 1992, Neeme Jarvi and the DSO were heard by over 25 million Europeans during a live radio broadcast concert. Commemorating the 5OOth anniversary of Columbus' voyage, this performance allowed the Old World the opportunity to hear what American audiences experience week to week over the air waves: the excitement of Neeme Jarvi and the DSO performing live in
Orchestra Hall. This was a great honor for the DSO, which was selected as the only American orchestra to be heard for this event.
The DSO has performed over 70 concerts in Ann Arbor since 1919.
NEEME jARVl 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. Internationally acclaimed for his performances with orchestras and opera houses throughout the world, Mr. Jarvi 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 St. Petersburg Conserva?tory. He made his conducting debut at the age of 18 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 13year tenure as Chief Conductor at the Tallinn Opera.
International acclaim came in 1971 when Mr. Jarvi won first prize in the Conductors Competition 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 premiere performances of Der Rosenkavalier, Porgy and Bess, and ll 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 conducted the major orchestras in North America and Europe, and has served as Principal Guest Conductor of the City of Birmingham (England) Symphony (198183). He has also 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.
Equally renowned for his opera conducting, Mr. Jarvi 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. Jarvi has recorded many awardwinning 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 Orches?tra, Mr. Jarvi is in the process of recording nine discs for Chandos. He recently released his 100th recording on the Chandos label, which was also the DSO's third release with him, featuring the music of American composers Samuel Barber and Charles Ives. This release was cause for significant international celebration, with Mr. Jarvi and the DSO featured on numerous international magazine covers, including Gramophone, Fanfare, CD Review, and Diapason.
In November 1991 the DSO traveled to New York City to perform at Carnegie Hall for the first time under the music directorship of Neeme Jarvi. The Detroit Symphony Orches?tra has a long history of performing at Carnegie Hall, and this most recent soldout performance received great critical acclaim.
Awards received by Mr. Jarvi include honorary doctor?ates from the University of Aberdeen in Scotland and the Music Conservatory of Tallinn, Estonia. An honorary member of the Swedish Academy of Music, Neeme Jarvi was dubbed a Knight Commander of the North Star Order by the King of Sweden in September of 1990.

May Festival Memories
In May of 1943,1 was an eighteenyearold freshman at Michigan. To help with tuition costs, I worked as a chambermaid at the Michigan Union. Mrs. Stanley Walz, who was then the housekeeper, took me under her wing, and carried it all in stride when visiting performing artists invariably left me dumbstruck.
My most memorable occasion concerned the time Eugene Ormandy asked to have a radio brought to his rooms. Seeing the yearning expression on my face, Mrs. Walz allowed me to deliver it, with stern admoni?tions not to tarry, swoon, or execute any other foolishness.
Mr. Ormandy was graciousness itself during the pluggingin process (amused, too, I'm sure.) He found out that 1 spoke German well, and we chatted pleasantly for a few moments, as to my interests and goals in life. The pinnacle of the visit was an autographed picture, which I cherish to this day.
Needless to say, Mrs. Walz got no more work out of me that day. Mundane, domestic duties are almost impossible when your feet don't touch the ground! Happy 100th!

It's easy to pick my favorite May Festival -it was in 1945. My husbandtobe and 1 sat in the top row of the 2nd balcony, holding hands tightly, in my effort not to burst into tears. Music Lit. 11 & 12 with McGeoch had been a revelation to me, and we had been studying these very masterpieces. By the 6th concert 1 was folding my coat under me to soften the hard seat, but still thrilled. Monday, May 7 was VE day, but that paled (in memory) by comparison. It was 20 years before 1 could afford to attend regularly and I've been to almost every once since 1965, but none can compare with the first.

1 began attending May Festival as an eager undergraduate music student and have continued to enjoy the concerts and festivities throughout the years. During that time the campus sparkles with life, activities, and music.
Welcoming and spending time with Philadelphia Orchestra friends was a highlight many Ann Arborites shared.
Rosalie Edwards Ann Arbor
My memories go back to about 1913 when, as a small child, 1 played on the campus "lawn" in front of the old Law Building as Hill Auditorium "went up" across the street. My sister sang "The Walrus and the Carpenter" in the Festival Youth Chorus. Then, she in the 1920s and I in the 1930s went to the May Festivals as students. Together we attended all May Festivals from 1941 until her death in 1986 except for a few in the 1950s when my three children were very young.
My story, however, is not about the music we heard but about the graciousness of a music maker and his wife. My sister (Florence Fuller) and 1 stayed at the Michigan League and were aware that Mr. and Mrs. Ormandy did too and were housed just a few rooms down the hall on the fourth floor. But, as far as 1 could tell, League guests always respected their privacy -that is, until the Festival of 1976. Trie year before, on a rainy postFestival Sunday morning my sister and I pried off the poster on the Kiosk (or was it still the Elm) in front of Hill Auditorium advertising the May Festival in the 75th anniversary year of the Philadelphia Orchestra itself. 1 dried it out and smoothed the edges and thought all year how nice Mr. Ormandy's signature would look when 1 framed it and hung it in my home. I took the poster with me in 1976 "just in case." My best opportunity came when Mrs. Ormandy and 1 happened to be more or less alone in the first floor League shop. I, very hesitantly, asked for her help. She came up to my room, got the poster and said she would slip it under my door later that day which she did. The signed poster is now one of my favorite "pictures", and 1 often stand in the hall looking at it and remembering all the wonderful hours of listening we have enjoyed.
Other memorable programs for me were Thursday, May 3, 1973, with the Brahms 4th and Richard Strauss' "Ein Heldenleben" with the lovely solo violin work of the Philadelphia's Concertmaster Norman Carol. And then there was the Sunday afternoon concert of April 30, 1978 when the Philadelphia with Ormandy played the Beethoven 7th and the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 3 with Horowitz. No one could ever forget that one! My son, also a U of M graduate, shared it with me and now his high schoolage son comes to the Festival. Four generations! Not unusual in Ann Arbor, probably, except that only the first generation (my parents) did their concertgoing as residents of Ann Arbor!
Margaret Fuller Smith Flint
My earliest memory was about 1932 when 1 sang in the children's chorus. As 1 recall we sang wo pan harmony, soprano, and alto. As fifth graders, our voices had not yet changed. We were taken to different rooms and were taught our parts separately. Juva Higbee must have had the patience of a saint to go around to the different schools all day long to teach the 5th and 6th graders two songs. (Although 1 do remember her breaking her baton on a music stand...) One year, when we learned "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Blue Danube", I remember telling my parents what a sissy thing this singing business was while really enjoying it immensely. After all, how many people are able to have the Philadelphia Orchestra accompany them
1 must have been in the 7th or 8th grade when I found out that if 1 went to the back door of the Hill and told them 1 was there to pass out programs I could get in free, which I did many times. 1 would put on my blue suit with the knickers and ride my bike there and back. 1 can recall watching, among others, Lauritz Melchior, Robert Benchly, and Will Rogers almost always from the front row. In those days the University fertilized the campus using what is known as "natural" fertilizer. Will Rogers, after walking from the Union to Hill, opened his program with the observation that "Ann Arbor certainly isn't a onehorse town." 1 don't think I ever had a ticket to any function there in those days. My twentyfive cent allowance just wasn't big enough.

I remember so very well the excitement of participating in the May Festival during the 1930s. We went to rural schools in the county. All during the school year we learned songs and folk dances. About three times throughout the year a lady, I believe her name was Miss Collinge, came around to our school and listened to us perform. She would "weed out" the really poor singers and it was such a thrill to "make it" to go to Ann Arbor to Hill Auditorium to sing and dance with other boys and girls from all over the county. Everyone would be dressed in their finest clothes -white shirts and ties for boys and pretty spring dresses for girls. We would be so very nervous and proud to be up on the stage at the Hill singing with boys and girls from other schools.
