Dear UMS Patrons,
Thank you very much for attending this event and for supporting the work of the University Musical Society. By the time this 1994-95 season comes to a close in May. the UMS will have brought to the community 65 performances featuring many of the world's Finest artists and ensembles. In addition, the UMS will have sponsored more than 100 educational events aimed at enhancing the community's understanding and appreciation of the performing arts. Your support makes all of this possible, and we are grateful to you.
My colleagues throughout the country are continually amazed ai how a midwest community of
110.000 can support the number and quality of performances that the UMS brings to Ann Arbor. They
want to know how we do it. and I'm proud to tell them. Here's what I say:
First, and most important, the people of Ann Arbor and the surrounding region provide great support for what we do by attending events in large numbers and by providing generous financial support through gifts to the UMS. And. according to out artists, they are among the most informed, engaged, and appreciative audiences in the country.
It has been the tradition of the University Musical Society since its founding in 1879 to bring the greatest artists in the world to Ann Arbor, and that tradition continues today. Our patrons expect the best, and that's what we seek to offer them.
Many years ago enlightened leaders of both the University of Michigan and the University Musical Society determined thai the UMS could best serve the community if the UMS had a measure of artistic and financial independence from the UniversityWhile the UMS is proudly affiliated with the University, is housed on the campus, and collaborates regularly with many University units, it is a separate not-for-profit organization with its own Board of Directors and supports itself solely from ticket sales, other earned income, and grants and contributions. This kind of relationship between a presenting organization and its host institution is highly unusual, but it has contributed significantly to our being able to be creative, bold, and entrepreneurial in bringing the best to Ann Arbor.
The quality of our concert halls means that artists love to perform here and are eager to accept return engagements. Where else in the U.S. can Yo-Yo Ma. James Galway. Kathleen Battle. Itzhak Periman, or Cecilia Bartoli perform a recital before 4,300 people and know that their pianissimos can be heard unamplified by everyone
Our talented, diverse, and dedicated Board of Directors, drawn from both the University and the regional community, provides outstanding leadership for the UMS. The 200-voice Choral Union, 35-member Advisory Committee, 275-member usher corps, and hundreds of other volunteers contribute thousands of hours to the UMS each year and provide critical services that we could not afford otherwise.
Finally. I've got a wonderful group of hard-working staff colleagues who love the Musical Society and love their work. Bringing the best to you brings out the best in them.
Thanks again for coming. And let me hear from you if you have any complaints, suggestions, etc. Look for me in the lobby or give me a call at (313) 747-1174.
Sincerely,
Thank You Corporate Underwriters

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 time. Please allow ample time for parking. Ushers will seat latecomers at a predetermined time in the program so as not to disturb performers or other patrons.
Children
We welcome children, but very young children can be disruptive to a performance. Children under three years of age will not be admitted to any performance. Children should be able to sit quietly in their own seats throughout a performance. Children unable to do so, along with the adult accompanying them, may be asked by an usher to leave the auditorium. Please use discretion in choosing to bring a child. Remember, everyone must have a ticket, regardless of age.
A Modern Distraction
Please turn off or suppress electronic beeping
and chiming digital watches or pagers during
performances.
Cameras and Recorders
Cameras and recording devices are strictly prohibited in the auditoria.
Odds and Ends
A silent auditorium with an expectant and sensitive audience creates the setting for an enriching musical experience. To that desired end, performers and patrons alike will benefit from the absence of talking, loud whispers, rustling of program pages, foot tapping, large hats (that obscure a view of the stage), and strong perfume or cologne (to which some are allergic).
University Musical Society
of the University of Michigan
Now in its 116th season, the University Musical Society ranks as one of the oldest and most highly-regarded performing arts presenters in the country.
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. This tradition continues today. The UMS Choral Union performs this beloved oratorio each December.
The UMS Choral Union 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 the Musical Society's acclaimed ten-concert series in Hill Auditorium.
Through the Chamber Arts Series, Choral Union Series, Choice Events, and the annual May Festival celebration, the Musical Society now hosts over 60 concerts and more than 100 educational events each season featuring the world's finest dance companies, chamber ensembles, recitalists, symphony orchestras, opera, theater, popular attractions and presenta?tions from diverse cultures. The Musical Society has flourished these 116 years with the support of a generous musicand arts-loving commu?nity, which has gathered in Hill and Rackham Auditoria and Power Center to experience the artistry of such outstanding talents as Leonard Bernstein, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Enrico Caruso, Jessye Norman, James Levine, the Philadelphia Orchestra, Urban Bush Women, Benny Goodman, Andres Segovia, the Stratford Festival, Beaux Arts Trio, Alvin Ailey, Cecilia Bartoli, and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. In May of 1993, the Musical Society celebrated
its 100th Ann Arbor May Festival with performances by the Metropoliatan Opera Orchestra led by Maestro James Levine, Itzhak Perlman, Eartha Kitt, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, the University Choral Union, and other artists.
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, and collaborative projects.
While it is proudly affiliated with the University of Michigan and is housed on the Ann Arbor campus, the Musical Society is a separate, not-for-profit organization, which supports itself from ticket sales, corporate and individual contributions, foundation and government grants, and endowment income.
UMS Choral Union
Thomas Sheets, conductor
Throughout its 116-year history, the University Musical Society Choral Union has performed with many of the world's distinguished orches?tras and conductors.
The chorus has sung under the direction of Neeme Jarvi, Kurt Masur, Eugene Ormandy, Robert Shaw, Igor Stravinsky, Andr6 Previn, Michael Tilson Thomas, Seiji Ozawa, Robert Spano, and David Zinman in performances with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestra of St. Luke's and other noted ensembles. In 1993, the UMS Choral Union was appointed the resident large chorus of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
A highlight of the UMS Choral Union's 1993 1994 season was the performance and recording of Tchaikovsky's Snow Maiden with the Detroit
Symphony Orchestra conducted by Neeme Jarvi, to be released this November by Chandos International.
During this season the UMS Choral Union will join the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and conductor Neeme Jarvi in performances of Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe, present A Celebration of the Spiritual with Dr. Jester Hairston, and perform the Mahler Symphony 2 (Resurrec?tion), again with the DSO, under conductor Jerzy Semkow. In April 1995, the Choral Union will join the Toledo Symphony Orchestra in commemorating the 50th Anniversary of V-E Day, performing Britten's War Requiem in Toledo under the direction of Andrew Massey.
Established in 1879 when a group of local church choir members and other interested singers came together to sing choruses from Handel's Messiah, the ambitious founders of the Choral Union went on to form the University Musical Societythe following year. Representing a mixture of townspeople, students, and faculty, members of the UMS Choral Union share one common passion -a love of the choral art.
Hill Auditorium
Completed in 1913, this renowned concert hall was inaugurated by the 20th Annual Ann Arbor May Festival and has since been home to thousands of Musical Society concerts, including the annual Choral Union series, throughout its distinguished 80-year history.
Former U-M Regent Arthur Hill saw the need at the University for a suitable auditorium for holding lectures, concerts, and other university gatherings, and, with his bequest of $200,000, construction of the 4,169-seat hall commenced. Charles Sink, then UMS president, raised an additional $150,000.
Upon entering the hall, concertgoers are greeted by the gilded organ pipes of the Frieze Memorial
Organ above the stage. UMS obtained this organ in 1894 from the Chicago Columbian Exposition and installed it in old University Hall (which stood behind the present Angell Hall). The organ was moved to Hill Auditorium for the 1913 May Festival. Over the decades, the organ pipes have undergone many changes of appearance, but were restored to their original stenciling, coloring, and layout in 1986.
Currently, Hill Auditorium is part of the U-M's capital campaign, the Campaign for Michigan. Renovation plans for Hill Auditorium have been developed by Albert Kahn and Associates to include elevators, green rooms, expanded bathroom facilities, air conditioning, artists' dressing rooms, and many other necessary improvements and patron conveniences.
Power Center for the Performing Arts
The dramatic mirrored glass that fronts the Power Center seems to anticipate what awaits the concertgoer inside. The Power Center's dedication occurred with the world premiere of Truman Capote's The Grass Harp in 1971. Since then, the Center has been host to hundreds of prestigious names in theater, dance, and music, including the University Musical Society's first Power Center presentation --Marcel Marceau.
The fall of 1991 marked the twentieth anniversary of the Power Center. The Power Family -Eugene B. Power, a former regent of the University of Michigan, his wife Sadye, and their son Philip -contributed $4 million toward the building of the theater and its subsequent improvements. The Center has seating for 1,414 in the auditorium, as well as rehearsal spaces, dressing rooms, costume and scenery shops, and an orchestra pit.
UMS now hosts its annual week-long theater residency in the Power Center, welcoming the esteemed Shaw Festival of Canada, November 15-20,1994.
Rackham Auditorium
For over 50 years, this intimate and unique concert hall has been the setting for hundreds of world-acclaimed chamber music ensembles presented by the University Musical Society. Before 1941, chamber music concerts in Ann Arbor were few and irregular. That changed dramatically, however, when the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies came into being through the generosity of Horace H. and Mary A. Rackham.
The Rackham Building's semi-circular auditorium, with its intimacy, beauty, and fine acoustics, was quickly recognized as the ideal venue for chamber music. The Musical Society realized this potential and presented its first Chamber Music Festival in 1941, the first organized event of its kind in Ann Arbor. The present-day Chamber Arts Series was launched in 1963. The Rackhams' gift of $14.2 million in 1933 is held as one of the most ambitious and liberal gifts ever given to higher education. The luxurious and comfortably appointed 1,129-seat auditorium was designed by architect William Kapp and architectural sculptor Corrado Parducci.

.:.........................!.'......................................................
Chick Corea's three-decade career is the stuff of jazz lore, an amalgamation of influential limit-stretching musical experiences which have filled many a page in twentieth-century music history encyclopedias. Born Armando Anthony Corea in Chelsea, Massachusetts on June 12, 1941, Chick was studying piaiio by age four and enjoyed a childhood home .filled with the sounds of Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Lester Young and Horace Silver --' not to mention the,' likes of Beethoven and Mozart, who inspired Chick's compositional instincts.
Chick's earliest compositions were recorded during one of his first professional stints: diree years with trumpeter Blue Mitchell ("64-'66). Early gigs with the likes of Willie Bobo, Cal Tjader, Herbie Mann and Mongo Santamaria instilled a love of Latin music still prevalent in much of Chick's work. After a year accompanying Sarah Vaughan, he rose to true prominence in the jazz world by joining Miles Davis' band playing electric piano. In the few years with Miles, Chick played on the ground?breaking classic fusion recordings Bitches Brew and In a Silent Way. From there. Chick formed his own avant-garde improvisational group, Circle, with bassist Dave Holland, drummer Barry Altschul and saxman Anthony Braxton.
In 1971, after three years of Circle, Chick changed his focus, and jazz has never been quite the same: the birth of Return To Forever (RTF). The early edition of that group (which featured the young Stanley Clark on bass) was a softer, samba-flavored ?ensemble featuring Flora Purim on vocals, her husband Airto on drums and reedman Joe Farrell. After two albums with this line?up (and a few solo piano albums released on the side), Chick plugged in and went the electronic fusion route, incorporating into RTF the firepower of drummer'Lenny
White and guitarist Bill Connors.
While Corea was forging a unique style on the Mo6g synthesizer, RTF (with Al Di Meola replacing Connors) spearheaded the mid-7os fusion movement with such innova?tive albums as Where Have I Knoion You Before, the Grammy-winning No Mystery and Romantic Warrior. When RTF disbanded in 975 Corea delved into a diverse series of recordings -electronic ensembles, solo piano, classical music, high-powered acoustic duos -with artists like Herbie Hancock and Gary Burton.
Other Chick projects leading up to his mid-8os formation of the Elektric Band were the Grammy winning Ieprechaun, My Spanish Heart and Musicvwgic, the latter of which was a new RTF project with vocalist Gayle Moran. Then: Mad Hatter, RTF Live, and work with Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard, Hubert Laws, Chaka Khan and Nancy Wilson, among countless others.
In 1992, Chick realized a lifelong goal. Along with manager Ron Moss, Corea formed the GRP subsidiary Stretch Records, a label committed to stretching musical boundaries (like its founder) and focus more on freshness and creativity than musi?cal style. Among its early releases have been projects by Bob Berg, John Patitucci, Eddie Gomez and Robben Ford.
"My interests change and vary as die years go along, with different emphases all die time," Chick muses. 'The more I play in different situations, die more possibilities I discover for what I can d6. But rather than think in terms of my music developing, I choose to bask in the glow of one diing for a few minutes, then let it go." The solo' piano project Expressions is die most recent product of Chick's fertile imagination.
Chick Corea makes his UMS debut toith tonight's performance.
Bob BCrc
On his Stretch Record debut, Enter The Spirit, saxophonist Bob Berg returns to his acoustic jazz roots with renewed conviction. Supported by a stellar cast including drum?mer Dennis Chambers, Bassist James'Genus, pianist Dave Kikoski, keyboardist Jim Beard and special guest Chick Corea, Berg lives up to the label's name by stretching to new heights on die album's ten tracks.
"For years I shied away from doing a straight ahead record," says the saxophonist, who put in three years with Miles Davis before going on to form die powerhouse Mike SternBob Berg band. 'The four records I did for Denpn were more eclectic in terms of the grooves and moods-they went dirough (one of them, Back Roads, was nominated for,a 1992 Grammy Award.) But I feel like my personality comes dirough a little fbit more on'this record. I felt like I just wanted to make a blowing record, and now I'm basically planning to pursue diis type of music for a while. At this time in my life, I feel like for me it's die truest mirror of my spirit." 1
Produced by Jim Beard, Enter The Spirit presents Berg in a swinging context sparked by Chambers' supple stickwork and Genus' insistent walking on upright bass. Bob responds widi some of his most urgent tenor playing on record, particularly on die two Corea compositions, "Snapshots" and "Promise," the Berg original, "Blues for Bela"
and the Sonny Rollins vehicle, "No Moe."
Berg says he was inspired to return to this swinging acoustic jazz direction, after a recent rediscovery. "I took my record player out of the closet and started listening to some of the old Blue Note records that I have. And they made me feel so good it made me'want to go that way. At its best, "that's what music should do. That's what it "did to me when I first heard jazz at die age of 13 or 14. It just made me want to do that because it felt so good. So that's where diis record is at and that's where I'm at now."
Another impetus for this project came from touring last year with Corea's Akoustic Quartet. As he recalls, "Last summer Chick called me to do a tour with Steve Gadd and Eddie Gomez. And something clicked inside me. I felt really good going back to the music diat I came up playing with Horace Silver and Cedar Walton and all the music diat I always loved to listen to ten years ago before I got into Miles' band."
Subsequent tours with Chick and differ?ent rhydim sections (either Peter Erskine or Vinnie Colaiuta on drums and John Patitucci on bass) whetted Bob's appetite for acoustic jazz. The seeds for diis musical rela?tionship between Corea and Berg were actu?ally planted as long as eight years ago. As Bob recalls, 'Chick was playing a gig in Montpelier, France, and I was diere doing a clinic. Chick saw that I was in town and told me to bring my horn to the show and sit in. We played about three or four tunes togeth?er at a big concert hall and at die end of it ' Chick whispered in my ear, 'To be conu'n-ued.' Eight years-down die line he called me for a six-week tour with diis Akousuc Quartet. Now here it is almost a year later "and I'm still working widi Chick. And it's been a lot of fun. Musically, it's very open and spontaneous, and I like that quality. I think one of my strengdis as a player is to fit into these kinds of situations."
Born in Brooklyn in 1951, Bob Berg attended the prestigious High School of the Performing Arts in Manhattan before ' enrolling at The Juilliard School. In 1969, he went on the road with organist Jack McDuff, playing Gene Ammons-styled tenor while shedding on his own time with John Coltrane records. For the next three years he worked steady day gigs driving cab and truckj then in 1973 he replaced Michael Brecker in Horace Silver's band. Berg remained a key part of Horace's front line (alongside trumpeter Tom Harrell) for the next three years. In 1976, he replaced George Coleman in Cedar Walton's band and remained in the group for the next five years alongside one of the great straight ahea"d rhythm sections in bassist Sam Jones and drummer Billy Higgins.
From 1981 to 1983, Berg lived in Europe. Through Al Foster's recommenda?tion, he got a chance to audition for Miles Davis as a replacement for saxophonist Bill Evans. Bob was hired in early 1984 and stayed with Miles through 1987, appearing on You 're Under Arrest. His solo debut as a leader came in 1987 with Short Stories on the Denon label. He followed that up with Cycles, In the Shadows and Back Roads while also touring extensively in the hard-hitting SternBerg fusion band, featuring Dennis Chambers on drums and Lincoln Goines on electric bass. The switch to Stretch Records marks Bob's new commitment to an age-old concept.
"Now, if it swings, I'm happy. I like to listen for that quality in music. Obviously, there are other intellectual aspects to the music -harmonic and melodic develop?ment and all that. But number one to me is if it feels good. All the records that I grew up loving --John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Stanley Turrentine, Cannonball Adderley, Charlie Parker --all feel good. That music always swings. That's my main thing."
As for the album title, Bob says, 'To me,
music in general has such a spiritual quality. And I think the more you get away frm the tricks and the synthesizers and overdubs and manipulations, the closer you get to the spir?it of things. When I go back and listen to those old jazz recordings, there's such a spir?itual quality to their playing. I find that's a kind of goal that I want to pursue now . . . to get to die essence of what the music is about and what we're about."
With Enter The Spirit, Bob Berg takes one giant step on that long journey to self-discovery.

Gary Novak
Born and raised in Chicago, Gary Novak was practically born with drum sticks in hand. Coming from parents of great musical talent, it is no wonder that Gary began play?ing the piano at the tender age of eight. While most musicians find their musical -inspiration outside the home, Novak's Lnfluence came from his parents. His mother, Carol Novak, also a pianist, played with her trio at the London House. His father, Larry Novak, the famous Chicago pianist, not only encouraged the career of his son, but also put him to work. From the age of 10 to 12, Novak would work with his father's trio in
all the Chicago clubs, including Mr. Kelly's, gaining the insight and experience that would lead to several musical milestones obtained at a very young age.
During high school, Novak worked with the jazz clarinet master Buddy Defranco as well as such notables as Joe Williams, Milt Hinton, Kenny Burrell, Barney Kessel and the great Louis Bellson. Novak's blossoming reputation lead to the opportunity to repre?sent Yamaha drums and Zildjian cymbals through endorsements at the age of 17.
At 19 years old, Novak moved to Los Angeles -an important step forward for Novak bringing many opportunities most could only dream of getting. Not only did Los Angeles bring him his first road job with Maynard Ferguson, but it marked a year of great exposure. Novak would come to work with Brandon Fields and record on his latest LP. He worked with such musical greats as Michael McDonald, Natalie Cole, David Sanborn and Anita Baker.
He teamed up with(guitarist Lee Ritenour who employed him for his solo tour and the GRP All-Star tour in 1991. Novak continued to tour throughout '92, but this time with George Benson. Although Novak has been working for the greater part of his life, he is not about to slow down now. At 23, he is joining Chick Corea's newest band. One must wonder what will be left for Gary Novak to do having accomplished so much in such little time.

John Paiitucci
It's been a whirlwind year for John Patitucci, who is widely regarded as one of the premier electric and acoustic bassists of his generation. Within the last year, Patitucci left Chick Corea's Elektric Band (in which he held the bass chair since the band's inception in 1985), toured the U.S. and Europe for the first time as a leader, continued to tour with Corea's Akoustic Band, and played on select film and record dates.
It is also the year the Patitucci is poised to expand his own legacy as a soloist and leader with Heart of the Bass, his fourth solo release and the first release on Corea's new label, Stretch Records, a subsidiary of GRP. While Patitucci's earlier albums explored a wide variety of styles, this new release forges an adventurous path, bridging the jazz and classical idioms -from collaborations with Corea, as composer and player, to a compo?sition byJ.S. Bach.
In what Patitucci calls "the most chal?lenging record I've made to date," short improvised pieces are interspersed with longer works -all of which feature the bass as a lead melodic voice. The centerpiece of Heart of the Bass is the "Concerto for Jazz Bass and Orchestra," a showcase of the col?ors of bodi the six-string and acoustic bass, in a chamber orchestra setting, written in three movements by trumpet-composer Jeff Beal. Patitucci credits the influence of renowned orchestrator Claus Ogerman's
orchestraljazz compositions as a key impe?tus to his working on such a project. Cityscapes was an important record to me," he notes, citing Ogerman's renowned work, which featured Michael Brecker's saxophone as the solo voice.
After Corea heard the concerto, he not only offered to record it on his new label, but he composed a set of six new miniatures for Patitucci, piano and string quartet.
"I think the bass functions well as a solo instrument within an orchestra," Patitucci mused, "hopefully the listener will enjoy the bass in this solo setting as they might enjoy a cello -with the added richness and sonori?ty which only the bass can provide. My intention is to have the bass serve the music and not have the music be subject to the instrument."
Fittingly, the tide cut is a lyrical and vir-tuosic tour-de-force; while the solo acoustic bass performance, "Mullagh," is a jig-like piece titled after the Irish town where Patitucci's wife's grandmother is from. He also found a spot for Bach's Prelude in G Major, from the beloved cello suites. Says Patitucci, "The suites lay as nicely on die six string as if it were a classical guitar; the instrument just seems to sing."
It all began in Brooklyn,,New York, where Patitucci was born on December 22, 1959. He grew up listening to Motown and The Beades, then played in a band with his older brother, Thomas, after picking up the bass at age 11. Eight years later, after moving with his family to California, Patitucci was headlong into jazz, gigging with Freddie Hubbard, The Crusaders, Hubert Laws, Larry Carlton and Stan Getz. Corea then , heard Patitucci and asked him to join his newest project --The Elektric Band.
With Corea, he has recorded The Chick Corea Elektric Band, Light Years, Eye of the Beholder, Inside Out, and last year's Beneath the Mask, as well as the acoustic Chick Coxea Akoustic Band and Alive. Patitucci's solo out, put for GRP includes John Patilucci, On the Corner and Sketchbook. And now, for Stretch Records, Heart of the Bass.
Patitucci is already at work on the next chapter, a GRP project with African influ?ences. "I don't want the listener to kYiow what my records are going to sound like before hearing them. I want the listener to be challenged, and hopefully inspired by the sound of, the instrument which has so influenced my life -die bass."

String Quartet in G Major, Op. 77, No. 1 (hob ill: 81)
Franz Joseph Haydn
Born c. March 31, 1732 in Rohrau, Lower Austria
Died May 37, 1809 in Vienna
Haydn had .composed his first string quar?tets some 40 years before his Op. 77, and tradition favored six of them in a set. The Op. 71 and 74 quartets (1793) were dedi-'cated to Count Apponyi, and the Op. 76 from around 1797 were for Count Erdody. The writing of his oratorio The Creation (1796-98) had drained the composer's energy, and he managed to finish only two of this Op. 77 set for Prince Lobkowiu ---Haydn's last completed quartets. Though there may have been a decline in the phe?nomenal rate at which Haydn composed, one can find no sign of a falling off in his creative powers. In fact, the 67-year-old'com?poser was exploring new paths of composi?tional development. .
Following his years of triumph in England, Haydn was living in his own house in the Viennese suburb of Gumpendorf and was at the summit of his career. The Creation had met with a tumultuous reception on February 20, 1979, in a performance with an orchestra of 180 players and a chorus of more than 2oo(!) The Op. 77 quartets of the same year show a surprisingly full sonori?ty, with forte chords worked into the themat?ic material in much the same way as in his London piano sonatas.
Haydn's somewhat uneasy teacher-stu?dent relationship with Beethoven was under?way at this time, and their mutual influence proved even more pronounced than that of the Haydn and Mozart mentorship often years earlier. Haydn's creativity as far as the?matic construction, his use of canon, the appearance of variation instead of sonata form in first movements, and above all his use of extended tonal relationships point to Beethoven and even to Schubert.
In the perfectly balanced fprmal units of the opening. "Allegro moderato" we hear crystallized everything that Haydn had achieved in sonata form. He treats us to a recapitulation of his modest themes that goes beyond merely re-stating the exposi?tion, and is actually a re-composition. The ideas are most cogently worked out with dot?ted rhythms and triplets.
The second movement "Adagio alia breve" is a three part fantasy, and illustrates the expanding tonal horizons mentioned ' before: instead of the closely related domi?nant key one would have expected in a x G Major piece, this movement lies in the strongly contrasting E-flat. These relation?ships of keys separated by the interval of a third (called mediant relationships) reaches their apogee more than half a century later in the person of one Richard Wagner . . .
The Menuet is marked "Presto" and is clearly to be played as a one-in-the-bar dance movement (i.e., a true Scherzo!) Here it is evident that Beethoven had influ?enced Haydn just as much as the other way around. Again, the Trio goes off into E-flat Major, and resembles a fast Austrian folk dance. Instead of the standard repeats Haydn wrote out the sections to be repeated in varied form.
Griesinger, Haydn's first biographer, mentions as one of the composer's lovable traits "A harmless roguery, or what the British call humour, was one of Haydn's out?standing characteristics. He easily and by preference discovered the comic side of any?thing, and anyone who had spent even an hour with him must have noticed that die very spirit of Austrian cheerfulness breathed in him." This feeling is certainly evident in the last movement, a playful "Presto" in ? time.
The Op. 77 string quartets were the only quartet manuscripts found among Haydn's scores upon hjs death; both have the Italian title Qiiartetto. The manuscripts
are highly valuable in that they contain a large number of precise indications as to performance. The G Major quartet was pub?lished in 1802 by Artatia in Vienna and pos?sibly a year later by Clemenu in London. This work of about 24 minutes stands out even against Haydn's dazzling accomplish?ments in sonata, symphony, mass and orato?rio. Haydn's motto -"Vixi, Scripsi, Dixi!" (I lived, I wrote, I spoke!) was fully realized, and every music lover owes him thanks for hours of enjoyment.
Quartet No. 4
BHa Bartok
Born March 25, 1881 in Nagyszentmiklos (now
Stnnicolau Mare, Romania) Died September 26, 1945 'n New York City
Bela Bartok composed his Fourth String Quartet between July and September of 1928 when he was 47. In this work (possibly his supreme masterpiece in the form), Bartok's shedding of any romantic sensibil?ity is complete. This is not his lighter style, although just underneath the abrasive, motoric surface lies much beauty:
The piece is a marvel of formal clarity: the basic structure is one of five.parts in which the first relates to the fifth, the sec? ond to the fourth, and, in Bartok's words, "the slow movement forms the kernel of the work". There are relationships of key -the opening and closing movements both land on C, while the first Scherzo lies on E, and the second Scherzo on A-flat. Thus, the composer traces out an augmented chord.
The second movement is about twice the speed of the fourth, and double it in rhythmic units, and so a relationship of tim?ing and duration results. Most telling of all is the use of one chromatic motive that per?meates the entire piece, first heard in bar 7 (I). The variational process is the key to this quartet's construction in that Bartok gives
us forms of this taut motive almost instead of themes.
Color also plays a role in unifying the Fourth Quartet, for instance, linking the "Prestissimo, con sordino" (second movement) and the "Allegretto pizzica?to" (fourth movement). Glissandi are featured, as well as the snap pizzicati (Bartok's trademark) in which the string is plucked hard enough to snap back on the fingerboard for a particu?larly incisive effect.
In contrast to the polyphonic rigor of the outer movements, the slow move?ment ("Non troppo lento") concen?trates on a cello solo against a static background. Even the accompanying chords are not the result of accident, of course. Bartok has used a pile-up of fifths and compressed it into a cluster.
To place this pivotal work in to a temporal context, 1928 was the year in which Janacek died, and Stockhausen was born. The piece was first performed by the Waldbauer-Kerpely Quartet in Budapest on March 20, 1929. This group gave the premieres of the first four Bartok quartetsf the dedication, however, went to the Pro-Arte Quartet. The playing time is about 22 minutes.
Quartet in G minor, Op. 10
Claude-Achille Debussy Born August 22, 1862 ini
St. -Germain-en-Laye, France Died March 25, 7918 in Paris
In contrast to the vast cathedral of Bartok's Fourth Quartet, the Debussy G minor Quartet invites us into the hos?pitality of a well-appointed living room. It is Paris, 1893, and though some of the furnishings show their date, others are curiously modern.
Franck's String Quartet had come into being only three years before, and cyclic technique was the rage. Debussy passed his test with flying colors, transforming his orig?inal Phrygian mode theme ingeniously in. metric variation and augmentation.
Already there is a sense of the innova?tions that were to make this composer's influence so pervasive (albeit subtle). The seconcl movement skirts with Javanese Gamelan music in a delightful play of duple against triple rhythms. Though the "Andan-tino docement expressif" approaches the emotional fervor of the FranckWagner school, there remains a wistfulness that is new, and peculiarly Debussy's.
It is puzzling that a masterpiece so com?forting and radiant as the G minor Quartet garnered almost no notice at its premiere on December 29th, 1893 at the Salle'Pleyel. Chausson, the work's original dedicatee, apparently didn't care for it; the dedication went instead to the group that first per?formed it, the Ysaye Quartet.
One can't help but, wonder about the extent to which Debussy's discovery of Renaissance music played a role in forming his aesthetic at the time. From his letter to . Andre Poniatowski (February 1893): ". . . These last few days I've found some consola?tion in a very satisfying musical experience. It was at Saint-Gervais, a church where an intelli?gent priest has taken the initiative in reviving the wonderful sacred music of earlier times. They sang a Palestrina m'assfor unaccompanied voices. It was extremely beautiful. Even though technically it's very strift, the effect is of utter whiteness, and emotion is not represented (as has come to be the norm since) by dramatic cries but by melodic arabesques ..."
Soon Debussy embarked on the compo?sition of Prelude a I'Apres-midi d'unfaune and Pelleas et Melisande, and Western music has never been quite the same since. Let us trea?sure this quartet as representative'of a spe?cial poised moment in both the history df music and Debussy's evolution. Rather than obscure this piece's ravishing sound through more analysis, we should take the compos. er's own advice: "Beauty must be experi?enced directly by the senses . . ."
The duration is approximately 26 minutes.
Notes by Joseph Laibman Ann Arbor,
The Guarneri String Q.uartet
he Washington Post recent-I ly said it well: "When you hear a group like the Guarneri String Quartet, this is whai you don't hear: You don't hear any?thing but impeccable intonation and a silken, radiant sound; you don't hear the tiniest hint of imprecision in the ensemble playing; you don't hear any?thing but sheer perfection, born of 25 years of collaboration by four world-class string players. Saturday night at George Mason University, The Guarneri presented their usual conservative program rendered with their customary flawlesness and vibrant emotional involvement."
Approaching 30 years together, the Guarneri String Quartet is the most senior string quartet in the world without any changes in" personnel since its founding in 1964.
Highlights of the Quartet's 1993-94 season were performances in New York at Carnegie Hall, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Alice Tully Hall, a special appear?ance with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and performances at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. and
the Ambassador Auditorium in Los Angeles. They were also heard on St. Paul Sunday Morning of Minnesota Public Radio and in a national broadcast on CBC Radio in Canada.
The international demand to hear the Guarneri String Quartet reflects the emi?nence in which the Quartet is held in North America. It was well defined by the Los Angeles Times in reviewing an all-Beethoven recital: "Beethoven was more than well-served. He was revitalized by playing that probed into dark corners and illuminated hidden mys?teries. It was the sort of thing that can occur at any time but that rarely happens. It can?not be ordered or commanded; hard work can hasten its advent, but cannot guarantee its presence. It seemingly has to come from some other worldly source. Whatever its ori?gin it had the Guarneri players firmly under its spell. They looked like hardworking musicians, but they played like angels."
The Guarneri, hailed by Newsweek as "one of the World's most elegant chamber ensembles," is an amazing accomplishment: four diverse personalities, all original mem?bers, the longest surviving artistic collabora?tion of any quartet in the United States. The anatomy of a string quartet is best summed
up by violinist Arnold Steinhardt in a paper he wrote on his memories after 20 years with the Quartet: 'There will by hours and hours of brute labor involved in the techni?cal problems of intonation, ensemble, and the critical shading of four like-sounding instruments. More important will be the unchartered process in which four people ; let their individual personalities shine while finding a unified quartet voice. There will be endless musings, discussions, and criti?cisms that will finally end up as an interpre?tation -that almost mystical amalgam of the four players that hovers somewhere in between their music stands."
., The Quartet has been featured on many television and radio specials, docu?mentaries and educational presentations both in North America and abroad. It was interviewed by Charles Kuralt on CBS' -nationwide television program, Sunday Morning, in summer 1990, and a full-length feature film entitled High Fidelity The Guarneri String Quartet was released national?ly, to great critical and public acclaim, in the fall of 1989. (The film was directed and pro?duced by Allan Miller who was also the directorproducer of the Academy Award-winning documentary From Mozart to Mao, which dealt with Isaac Stern's visit to China.) The Quartet is also subject of several books including Quartet by Helen Drees Ruttencutter (Lippencott & Crowell, 1980) and The Art of Quartet Playing: The Guarneri in Conversation with David Blum (Alfred A. Knopf, 1986). '
In 1982 Mayor Koch presented the Quartet with the New York City Seal of Recognition, an honor awarded for the first time. The Quartet is on the faculty of the University of Maryland. It was awarded Honorary Doctorate degrees by the University of South Florida (1976) and the State University of New York (1983). In 1992 the Guarneri String Quartet became the only quartet to receive the prestigious
Award of Merit from the Association of Performing Arts Presenters.
The Guarneri String Quartet's record?ings, several of which have won international, awards, are on RCA Red Seal and Philips. Among the recordings are collaborations with such artists as Artur Rubinstein, Pinchas Zukerman; and Boris Kroyt and Mischa Schneider of the Budapest Quartet.
The Dallas Morning News summed up the Guarneri when it headlined the review "Quartet is Really Quite Perfect." and went on, The men of the Guarneri are today's aristocrats of the chamber music world. There was never a forced phrase or a hint of harshness, while interpretatively there was a certainty and urbanity to the performances that made everything during the evening ring with inevitability. It is this sort of atten?tion to detail, diis sort of preparation that tells the tale of a Guarneri performance. Yet for all the meticulousness of its perfor?mances, what one departs with is a flowing, ebbing impression of the music, not the thought that went into it. And where does that leave someone paid to write about such a concert Feeling like a fifth leg on a table -absolutely dispensable."

L fli" ichael Nyman is a
IL ? composer in
I L ? demand, and yel
L I his position is new
Lt music today
Rf ( remains controver-
4. ? aajHH m.iI. Tlx-i c i ;m be no other composer alive who inspires simul?taneously such devotion and antagonism, in apparently equal measure. Nyman is a man of impeccable musical credentials 7scholar, writer, critic, performer, as well as composer. He is also a man of wit -wit which offers a haven of ambiguity to today's demand for. easy labeling.
Nyman was born in London on March 33, 1944. His musical background was con?ventional studies at the Royal Academy of Music and King's College, London, but with less than conventional teachers, namely, the communist composer Alan Bush and the distinguished musicologist of the English Baroque, Thurston Dart. It was Dart who introduced Nyman to sixteenthand seven?teenth-century English rounds and canons. These were to be influential, not only for their construction with repetitive, contra?puntal lines over harmonic modules, but for their ambiguity in being at the same time popular and serious. Dart also supported Nyman's interest in folk music encouraging him to visit Romania to carry out research. Nyman graduated in the 60s at a time w,hen popular music, particularly that of the Beades, was storming the land. By contrast,. "serious" contemporary composition was dominated by Stockhausen and Boulez (die Darmstadt serialists). Nyman's free-wheel?ing, eclectic, 60s education prevented him temperamentally, intellectually and ideologi?cally from joining this club, either as com?poser or performer. So for 12 years, from 1964 to 1976, Nyman, though silent as a composer, was prolific as a writer about music, working for the Listener, New Statesman and in particular The Spectator,
where he was given carte blanche to write' about anything he liked -from Cage to the Fugs. It was Nyman, in a review of the Great Learning by the English composer Cornelius Cardew, who introduced the word "minimal?ism" as a description in music.
During this period, he was a frequent performer with a wide variety of groups and bands ranging from the Scratch Orchestra , and Portsmouth Sinfonia to Steve Reich and Musicians and die Flying Lizards. But per?haps die most significant event duringthose years was the writing of his book, Experimen?tal Music Cage and Beyond (1974), in which he set out to document and discuss the wide spectrum of musical creativity emanating from die aesthetics of John Cage, and its implications for a generation of composers and performers stifled by the rigorous acad?emicism of the serialists.
The.book, which to diis day remains the most authoritative on the subject, might appear to have acted as some sort of cathar-. sis for Nyman: having so convincingly explained the alternative to die Darmstadt School, and witnessed or taken part in so much of the music discussed, Nyman may unconsciously have seen a route for himself, should he ever become a composer. As it was, in 1976, Harrison Birtwisde, Director of Music at the National Theater, invited him to arrange some eighteendi-century Venetian popular music for a production of Goldoni's Campiello.
The Music for Campiello consisted of arrangements of gondoliers' songs fbr an eccentric street band of medieval instru?ments -rebecs, sackbuts and shawns with banjo, bass drum and soprano saxophone. It was the loudest acoustic band Nyman could think of, and produced a very distinct instrumental color, something which was always to be a feature of primary considera?tion in his music.
It was only when die stage production of 11 Campiello came to an end tiiat Nyman,
in wanting to preserve the band, became a composer almost by accident, in order to create music for it to play.
In common with many composers today -Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Louis Andriessen, and writers of jazz and popular music -Nyman has written extensively for his own group, not merely to give it music to play, but also to unite a group of musicians who were as interested as he in breaking down the barriers between serious and pop?ular culture.
The Campiello Band had used no amplification but, when in the early 80s it transformed into Michael Nyman Band, amplification became as integral to the Nyman sound as instrumental color.
At first hearing, the Nyman style -rsimT pie tunes and chord progressions, and insis?tent beat, repeated Viotes, and loud dynam?ics -relates to pop music. But Nyman owes much to die English experimentalists, in particular John White, and to John Cage, who, as Nyman remarked, gave permission
for' the music of the past to be treated as a resource, as a raw material to be used in any way allowing, for instance, a single phrase to be put under a microscope, and enlarged jnto a composition.
The score.for Peter Greenaway's film The Draughtsman's Contract (1982), which brought Nyman his first major success, is scored solely from the music of Henry Purcell, in particular from lesser known ground basses and chaconnes. Purcell's material, in its use of closed harmonic sys?tems, provided Nyman with infinitely repeat-able, recyclable, andlayerable harmopic structures similar to those with which he customarily worked. Melodic fragments would be varied over die bass line by exten?sion, syncopation, suspension and superim-position. The resulting music is by Nyman, but with a memory, though not a specific memory, of Purcell.
His important collaboration widi the English film maker, Peter Greenaway, which began 1977, established Nyman's repution
as a composer ot him music, but has perhaps added to a distorted overall view of his output. No doubt this is because the numerous film ' scores and recordings of them have reached a vast and enthusiastic internation?al public and catapulted him to "cult" status. But Nyman is extraordinarily prolific in other areas, notably opera, chamber music, vocal music, and dance scores. .
This productivity is enabled, to some degree, by certain reworkings of his own music. However, it would by wrong to imply the mere shifting of score pages from oneanother, or simply
Michael Nymax
reorchestration. Nyman, in fact, completely recomposes a work, subjecting the original material to a rigorous reassessment so that the new musical conclusions are allowed to emerge. One such work is Zoo Caprices, which transforms ensemble music from his film score A Zed and Two Noughts (1985) into a virtuoso work for solo violin. The ghosts of J.S. Bach and Paganini may well be invoked, but such references may relate more to the musical memory of the listener than to any specific intention of Nyman.
Nyman's interest in building pieqes out of modules and matrices relates paradoxically to serial technique, but his recognizable' chords, chord progressions, and melodic fragments, his use of driving repetition and distinctive instrumental colors -the thumping keyboard, "rude" bass clarinet and baritone saxophone (particularly associ?ated with music for his own band), and the extreme high and low octave doublings -make the result very different from serial-ism, with an energy and exuberance more associated with pop and rock music.
Within this possibly mechanistic style, there is still room, however, for a remark?able range of emotional expression. The chamber opera The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat (1986) is based on a true case study by the American neurologist, Dr. Oliver Sacks, of a patient, Dr. P. Through a gradual diagnostic journey, Dr. P's visual agnosia, or the inability to recognize what he can see, is painfully revealed. Nyman sets up a music parallel to reveal Dr. P's deterio?rating condition, by constructing a series of variations based on a "recognizable" chord sequence which, during die course of the opera, becomes increasingly distorted as detail, contour, melody, color and texture are removed. In real life, Dr. P, a profession?al singer, relied on specific songs -eating songs, dressing songs, bathing songs -to provide "guide rails" to cope with his mental
disorder: To underline this tragic condition in the opera, Nyman poignandy "borrows" from Schumann's song literature..
But it is Mozart that provides the rich?est source for a number of compositions by Nyman, including the unforgettable In Re Don Giovanni (1976) and I'll Stake My Cremona to ajeiv's Trump (1983). No other score of Nyman's is as ingenious in its meta?morphosis of another composer's material than the music for the film Drowning by Numbers (1987). Drawing exclusively on die slow movement of Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante for Violin and Viola KV 364, Nyman treats his material in a way diat is practically a formal analysis. He exposes the melodic and harmonic relationships of Mozart's intense score by drawing out new melodies, be they poignant ('Trusting Fields" based on die repeated, throbbing, accented appogiatura), chirpy ("Sheep and Tides", drawn from simple bass line), or swaggering ("Wedding Tango", a complex combination of the opening D minor theme with the same theme in E-flat, as it later appears). In an oblique way, this process is reminiscent of the late Hans Keller's "func?tional analysis." (Incidentally, Nyman, like Keller, is a fanatical football fan.)
String Quartet No. 2, in six movements, commissioned in 1988 as a work for the Indian dancer and choreographer, Shobana Jeyasingh, marks a considerable freeing up of Nyman's harmonic language. While para?doxically in its cross rhythms and syncopa?tions, it effordessly assimilates die strict rhythmic codes of Karnatic music, there is . no mistaking its folk dance, Viennese coffee houses, and die string quartets of Bartok.
Nymani's music is allusive, but not necessar?ily consciously so. There are certain works -The Draughtsman's Contract, In Re Don n ' Giovanni, String Quartet No. I --where the original source, whether Purcell, Mozart, or a 60s pop tune, is no doubt because Nyman
quotes and rewrites passages; but in most of his work he demonstrates an intensely musi?cal mind calling on a vast reservoir of musi?cal memories.
Out of the Ruins, a choral work, com?posed in 1989 for a BBC TV documentary ' about the devastation caused by the earth?quake in Armenia, uses a simple asymmetric dirge-like melody to set a text drawn from a tenth-century Book of Lamentations. The allusion to Armenian chant, is no more con-scious than is the possible allusion to Faure's Requiem in Nyman's use of unexpected enharmonic shifts.
The Fall of Icarus (1989), a large scale dance work undertaken with the Belgian choreographer Frederic Flamand and Italian video sculptor Gabrizio Plessi, illus?trates how, through modules and matrices, Nyman's thematic, harmonic and rhythmic material can be expanded or contracted by , the repetition, addition or subtraction of a beat, bar, or section, and at the same time speeded up or slowed down through rhyth-' micj acceleration or augmentation. Although Nyman indicates that this technique was fully formed when he (re) started to com?pose in 1976, it is significant that this ' ? approach produces material which perfecdy fits the needs of the film editor, even if on occasion, pieces stop abruptly, rather than end "properly."
Nyfnan's music, influenced as it seemed by Dageian aesthetics, English experimental music, American minimalism, and the Baroque, had by 1990 developed a confi?dence which, while still clearly related to its beginnings, had moved far from the Nymari of simple rhythms and insistent pumping. Prospero's Books (iggo), Greenaway's fantasy on Shakespeare's The Tempest, might have tempted Nyman to fall back on an historical model, but instead, misremembering Caliban's line referring to the island as full of "voices" (rather than "noises"), he pro?duced a beautifully original score that, with
its luxuriant use of female voices (three ' singers drawn from three different tradi?tions opera, rock, and cabaret) and richly substantial Masque, almost became the opera The Tempest that's never been written. There is no denying the score's illustrative and emotional power in underpinning the reconceptualised play and its characters.
The German cabaret singer, Ute Lemper, well known as an interpreter of Kurt Weill, took the part of Ceres in Prosperous Books, and it was for her that Nyman wrote his searing Six Celan Songs (1990). The Poems of Paul Celan are amongst the blackest of this century. A Jew from Bukovina, Celan saw his parents shipped off to death camps from which they did not return; eventually he took his own life. Setting the poems in German and to the instrumental accompaniment of his own ensemble, Nyman here embraces his widest spectrum of emotional expression. Released as a record in 1991, Songbook featured Lemper singing the Six Celan Songs, Ariel Songs (from Prospero's Books), as well as musi?cal works interperated from Mozart and Rimbaud. Nyman feels the collaboration with Lemper represents his best work yet.
Nyman's biggest commercial success to date has been his original soundtrack for Jane Campion's film The Piano. The movie is based on a mute Scottish woman who, because of an arranged marriage, must move, with her daughter to the remote bush of nineteenth-century New Zealand. Her only means of communication are th'rpugh her nineyear-old daughter and her music, for which her piano is the tool. After being delivered on the beach, her new husband refuses to transport her piano and it is left behind on the beach. Unable to bear its cer?tain destruction, Ada strikes a bargain with an illiterate, tattooed neighbor to move it to shelter and allow her to play it. She may earn her piano back from him if she allows'
him to do certain things to her body while she plays. The arrangement draws Ada, her husband, and the neighbor deeper and deeper into a complex emotional, sexual bond remarkable for its naive passion and frightening disregard for limits. In writing for The Piano, Nyman had to establish not only the usual repertoire, of music for the . film, but a specific repertoire of piano music that would have been Ada's repertoire as a pianist.
Initially I was unsure how precisely to pitch the style; it had to be a "possible" mid-nineteenth-century music hit not as pastiche and obviously written in 1992. But then I had the perception that, since Ada was from Scotland, it was logical to use Scottish folk and popular songs as the basis for our music. Once I hit on that idea the whole thing fell into place.
It was a real challenge to write this music, because it is absolutely crucial to the film. If you delve into the reasons for the piano's existence, you realize that the establishing of a musical lan?guage is crucial. Since Ada doesn't speak, the piano music doesn't simply have the usual expres-
sive role but becomes a substitute for her voice. The sound of the piano becomes her character, her mood, her expressions, her unspoken dialogue. It has to convey the messages she-is putting across about her feelings toward Baines, during the piano lessons and these differ from lesson to les?son as the relationship, state of sexual bargaining and passion develop.

Praised for its sensuality, sensitivity and emotional power The Piano soundtrack was nominated for a Golden Globe award in late 1993. It is also the only Nyman release v which has charted in the Billboard 100. Presently at the 50 position (an incredible accomplishment for a record with no video, no mainstream radio play, and very little classical radio exposure), Virgin Records expects to sell over a million copies which would make The Piano soundtrack Nyman's first "gold record."

Variations on a Theme of Joseph Haydn, Op. 56A
Johannes Brahms ,
Born May y, 1833 in Hamburg
Died April 3, i8gy in Vienna
Johannes Brahms' .delight in the music of Haydn dates back at least as far as the 1850s, when he wrote to Clara Schumann that he was reading through Haydn's piano-trios (sans cello) with the violinist Joseph Joachim: "We are enjoying ourselves immensely!" Later Brahms' friend Carl Pohl, one of the first great scholars of Haydn's music, intro?duced him to the works of the great Viennese Classicist, including a Divertimento contain?ing the tune "St. Anthony's Chorale" that caught the composer's imagination immedi?ately. In 1873 he turned diis traditional tune into one of his most concise, coherent, and enduringly popular symphonic works. The "Haydn Variations" were first perform?ed in Vienna diat year, under Brahms' own baton. Though the work was one of the composer's first works in the orchestral medium, throughout his life he looked back upon diese variations with great fondness. Perhaps part of the reason for this lay in his lifelong devotion to the music of earlier composers. Brahms joined the leading scholars of his day to investigate the music of Bach, Handel, and numerous Renaissance composers; among the fruits of'their labors were the first complete editions of these masters. For Brahms this was not a purely academic exercise -his interest in early music spilled over into his creative life, and throughout his career the elements of Baroque and Classical style took on an increasingly significant role. Thus his inten?tions in the "Haydn Variations" were pardy to pay homage to that composer, not only through the use of a tune from his oeuvre, but also through the emulation of the com?poser's variation techniques.
Ironically, the work that Brahms intend?ed as his most pointed homage to this great Classicist was built on a theme that, as it turns oif, was not by Haydn at all. Many , years after Brahms' death, scholars began to call into question the authenticity of the Divertimento in B-flat (Hob. II46) that Brahms used. Scored for two oboes, two horns, two bassoons, and serpent, the work ? is probably by Haydn's prolific Austrian con?temporary Iganz Pleyel.
After a simple presentation of the theme, tension mounts through the first five variations, culminating in the rushing vivace of Variation VI, in which winds and brass present a rapid, gready compressed version of the chorale. Variation VII is a gende sicil-iano movement that virtually functions as a "slow movement". Throughout this last vari?ation and coda, die chorale bass line can be heard even when die melody is submerged.
The Variations are scored for piccolo, two.flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, tioo bassoons, contrabas-soon, four horns, two trumpets, timpani, triangle, and strings. -
Oboe Concerto in D Major,
AV 144 (1945REV. 1948)'
Richard Strauss
Born June 11,11864 in Munich
Died September 8, 1949, in
Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria
The D Major Oboe Concerto owes its exis?tence to Strauss's uncanny ability to write music, unhindered and unperturbed, in the midst of utter turmoil. He had already com?posed his way right through the Nazi period and World War II, using the war years to produce such masterpieces as die Second Horn Concerto and die opera Capriccio. At
war's end he continued unabated, driving his wife, Pauline, virtually to distraction with his seemingly unflappable work ethic. Accustomed to life at a remove from the world at large, Strauss hardly thought k nec?essary to leave Germany during the after?math of the war. He was, after all, 81 years -old. Only in late 1945 did he and his wife bow to pressure from friends,and settle for a time in the sleepy Swiss town of Baden. Through their peripatetic life in Swiss hotels during subsequent months, Richard sat and wrote the most polished, glorious oboe con?certo of all -while the 83-year-old Pauline railed against hotel personnel, hotel food, and the general chaos of it all.
The seeds for the Concerto had been planted in late 1945 by a young American G.I. -a Philadelphian named John de Lancie who would join that city's Orchestra the following year as Assistant Principal Oboe to Marcel Tabuteau. (De Lancie, who . succeeded Tabuteau as Principal in 1954, was later Richard Woodhams' teacher at the Curtis Institute of Music.) Before leaving Germany Strauss had been greeted by a. whole host of curious American soldiers, who had appeared on the doorstep of his Garmisch villa, with all sorts of questions. (His standard reply to inquiries was, "I am the composer of Der Rosenkavalier, please leave me alone.") But the composer was nonetheless willing to entertain the uni?formed de Lancie, who called on him sever?al times that fall. "During one of my visits," wrote the oboist many years later, "I asked him if, in view of the numerous, beautiful, lyric solos for oboe in almost all of his works, he had ever considered writing a con?certo for oboe. He answered, 'NO,' and there was no mpre conversation on the sub?ject. He later told a fellow musician friend of mine (Alfred Mann, former director of the Bethlehem Bach Choir) that the idea had taken hold as a result of that remark."
Alas, de Lancie did not play die Concerto's world premiere; die piece was first performed in Zurich on February 26, 1946, by die Swiss oboist Marcel Saillet and die Tonhalle Orchestra under Volkmar Andreae. The composer gave de Lancie per?mission to perform die work's American premiere whenever he liked, but die piece was not heard in die U.S. until February 1, 1948, with oboist Mitchel (Mitch) Miller and die Columbia Concert Orchestra. De Lancie first performed the Concerto on August 30, 1964 at the Interlochen Festival in Michigan, with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra; diis performance included die revision of die last movement _ diat Strauss had prepared for die published version. (Leon Goossens's first recording of the work was of die original version.) The revision included some 50 measures addedy to die coda of die finale.
The Concerto, which is more in die nature of a continuous, one-movement Konzertstiick, makes a decisive nod in Mozart's direction. Its first movement ("Allegro moderato") brings to mind much of Strauss's own earli?er music as well as, a sort of autumnal reflec?tion on scores as diverse as Don Qiiixote and Ariadne aufNaxos. The opening four-note motive is extended to form a sparkling sub?ject diat will serve a unifying role for die whole concerto. The oboe enters to present an extraordinarily long exposition (56 plea?sures), and die movement proceeds in a con-certante fashion, happily bringing odier solo instruments into die discourse. The second or Andante" movement grows direcdy from die opening Allegro, presenting a delicibus-ly lyrical "aria" in die key of B-flat Major, again calling Mozart to mind. Closing widi a cadenza for the soloist, the slow movement employs die Concerto's opening motivic material to strike directly into the final "Vivace," an.almost Baroque-like section of
great exuberance. It moves into a gentle 6 Allegro section, which serves as a bridge for the long coda -a sort of waltz that sends the work off with an ironic twist.
The Concerto is scored for a small orchestra of flute, English horn, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, and strings.
Symphony No. 2 in C Major, Op. 61
" Robert Schumann
Born June 8, 1810 in Zwickau, Saxony Died July 29, 1856 in Endenich (near Bonn)
By the fall of 1844, Schumann's concert tour of Russia and his obsessive work on a proposed operatic version of Goethe's Faust had brought him to a state of near collapse. It was not the composer's first encounter with nervous disorder -his youth had been fraught with bizarre passions and.thoughts of suicide -nor was it to be his last. (Later, during the 1850s, he was to throw his con?fused body into the freezing waters of the Rhine in mid-February. Bemused fisherman would pluck him out and take him home to his wife Clara.) Upon returning from Russia earlier in 1844, Schumann sought all man?ner of hypnotic and homeopathic quackery for what had developed into a blind dark depression. Clara wrote of her husband's fit?ful nights.'from which he would awaken the next morning "bathed in tears."
It was in Dresden, where the Schumanns finally settled in 1845 to escape the frenetic cultural activity of dieir beloved Leipzig, that the composer began to regain his stabil?ity. During the summer he immersed him?self in the music of Bach, composing a series of ingenious contrapuntal works, including six fugues on the letters B-A-C-H. The order and logic of classical counterpoint appears to have had a restorative effect: Schumann
began composing in earnest again. His first project was to produce an Andante and an Allegro finale for the "Fantasy" movement composed earlier in Leipzig. The result was the A minor Piano Concerto, one of the most fiercely passionate works of the century. In December of 1845, Schumann also draft?ed, within three weeks, a Symphony in C that combined his newfound contrapuntal savvy with his attraction to the music of Beethoven and Mendelssohn.
The Symphony in C was actually the composer's fifth symphony, though it was . published second, thus as "No. 2." For in addition to die Symphony in E-flat that is now called No. 1 (the "Spring"), Schumann had already composed a G minor Symphony in Zwickau, which was later withdrawn, a Sinfonietta, later published as the Overture, Scherzo, and Finale, Op. 52, and the Symphony in D minor, called "No. 4" because of the order in which it was pub?lished. The C Major is at once the compos?er's most expansive and his most problemat?ic symphonic work. 'The Symphony in C has what the French would call a 'faux air de Beethoven, 'from beginning to end," wrote one perplexed English critic in 1864. Indeed, die chief aspect of die work that has caused many listeners to find it "Beethovenian" is its use of pregnant motivic material on a scale virtually unprece?dented in Schumann's music.
Nearly every measure of die first move?ment, for example "Sostenuto assai -Un poco piu vivace -Allegro ma non trpppo" is generated eidier from the motto theme of open fifths heard in the opening bars (a reminiscence, conscious or unconscious, of Haydn's Symphony No. 104) or from the jagged dotted-note subject diat forms die movement's first subject. The Haydn dieme, which is closely related to the fifth-based "Clara diemes" found diroughout Schumann's works, recurs at emotional peaks in each of the four movements -a
technique with which the composer places himself squarely in the nineteenth-century tradition of Berlioz and Wagner. The second movement "Allegro vivace," a Scherzo with relentless virtuosic passages for the strings, is notable for its second Trio, a polyphonic working-out of a chorale-like theme that fairly jumps out at the listener with its Bachian joy. The coda brings Bach and Haydn together, as it were, closing with another echo of the Symphony No. 104. The plaintive, chromatic subject of the third movement "Adagio espressivo" again recalls Bach, this time the "ErbarmeDich"aria from the St. Matthew Passion.
It is Schumann's final movement "Allegro molto vivace", which also begins with the Haydn subject, that has generated the most discussion. One critic has described it as a sonata containing a coda that is long?er than the rest of the piece; this seems to beg the limits of sonata form. More recendy, Anthony Newcombe has suggested that the problem lies in trying to make the piece fit into a standard musical form. He argues that die movement belongs to die history of discursive music, deriving its impetus from Romantic literature and from Schumann's own pantheon of imaginary characters. True to nineteenth-century sensibilities, die movement walks an ambiguous line between die "absolute music" of a Beethoven sym?phony and die growing Romantic concern witfi "program music"-the specific depic-.tion of dramatic and literary scenes. Though no specific story or "program" for die work has come down to us, this final movement has become an archetype of a sort of gener?alized triumph over impossible odds.
Schumann overcame a legion of what he called his "sinister demons," dien, to pro?duce this most complex of symphonies -die work that even his earliest critics called a struggle leading to victory. "I composed die symphony when I was still half sick," he wrote. "I feel as if one. can probably hear
that in it. Not until the last movement did I really begin to feel myself again; and after completing the whole work I actually felt better still. But despite this, as I said, it reminds me of a dark period."
@@@@TRe Symphony is scored for an orchestra of two ?flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani, and strings.
Notes by Paulf. Horsley Philadelphia, 1994
Maestro Sawai.i.isch
1 hen Wolfgang Sawallisch
stepped to the podium of The Philadelphia Orchestra in September 1993, h,e became only the sixth Music Director in the Orchestra's 94 year history. Born in Munich in 1923, Sawallisch has established himself as one of the major conductors of our time. Critics have hailed qualities such as his "total command of every aspect of the score" that have made his interpretations of the European classics some of the most satisfying to be heard any?where. "Sawallisch is unrivaled," wrote one critic of a recent EMI Classics recording with the Philadelphia Orchestra, "in his abil?ity both to clarify the music and to raise it to an exalted level." For 21 years Sawallisch led the.Bavarian State Opera in Munich, where he served as bodi music director and artistic director. He became known the world over for performances of operas by Mozart, Strauss, and Wagner. .
He completed his tenure in Munich in 1992. Currendy he is honorary conductor
of Tokyo's NHK Orchestra, as well as an honorary member of the ViennaSymphony, the Hamburg Philharmonic, and the National Academy.of Santa Cecilia in Rome. He has made regular guest appearances at the Bayreuth and Salzburg Festivals, at La Scala, and with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra (Amsterdam), the London Philharmonic, and the Orchestre National de France. In November 1993 he received the Gold Baton Prize for his distinguished work at La Scala; also last fall, hisrecording of Brahms' First Piano Concerto, with pianist Stephen Kovacevich, was awarded Gramophone Magazine's "Concerto of the Year" Award, and his recording .of die Bavarian State Opera's production of. Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen received the magazine's first ever "Classical Video of the Year" Award.
After early studies at die Munich . Hochschule fur Musik, Maestro Sawallisch began his conducting career at the Opera Theater of Augsburg, later 'holding music . directorships in Aachen, Wiesbaden, and Cologne. In 1953 he became the youngest conductor ever to lead die Berlin Philharmonic, and in 1957, the second
youngest to appear at Bayreuth. For a decade beginning in 1960, he was chief conductor of the Vienna Symphony, concurrendy serv?ing as music director of the Hamburg Philharmonic. From 1973 to 1980 he was principal conductor and artistic director of the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande in Switzerland. Also a gifted pianist, he, has recorded chamber music and songs with some of die leading instrumentalists and singers of our time.
Sawallisch's early guest appearances with the Philadelphia Orchestra, beginning with his Philadelphia debut in 1966, were highly acclaimed; during the 1980s he returned many times to conduct, and to appear on die Orchestra's Chamber Music Series. In September 1990 the Orchestra announced the appointment of the Maestro as its new Music Director, effective September 1993. His first season included widely acclaimed performances of works by Britten, Brahms, Wagner, and Stravinsky.
This evening's, opening night concert marks the fourth appearance of Maestro Sawallisch under UMS auspices.
Richard Woodhams, Principal Oboe of the Philadelphia Orchestra, is a native of
Northern California and comes from amusical fami?ly. At the age of 14 he appeared as soloist with the San Francisco Symphony. Subsequently he'attended the .Curtis Institute of Music, where he studied with John de Lancie, Mr. Woodhams' distinguished predecessor in the Orchestra. Upon gradu?ation he was appointed Principal Oboe of the Saint Louis Symphony by Walter Susskind, remaining in
St. Louis until assuming his present position in 1977.
Mr. Woodhams has been a soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra in collaboration with bodi Eugene Ormandy and Riccardo Muti, playing subscription-series premieres of works by Richard Strauss, Haydn, Bellini and Vaughan Williams. In 1984 he received the Orchestra's C. Hartman Kuhn Award; he also holds the Orchestra's first endowed chair, funded by the Samuel S. Fels Foundation. Most recendy, Mr. Woodhams ? has played the Philadelphia premieres of works by George Rochberg and Joan Tower with the Orchestra.
' In addition to his orchestral work, Mr. Woodhams is independendy active as a soloist, recitalist, and chamber musician, having played throughout die United States and in Canada and Japan. In 1992 he appeared as soloist widi Cadierine Comet and the American Symphony Orchestra at Carnegje Hall. He is also a member of die faculties of Temple University and the Curtis Institute of Music; in 1992 he was also die Distinguished Artist in Residence at die Setdement Music School.
Tonight's performance marks Mr. Woodhams' second UMS concert as soloist.
Richard Woodhams
?" uring iis 93-year liisto-k ry, The Philadelphia Orchestra has estab-
I lished a solid position m as one of the world's m leading on hestras, .1 ?Hb dynamic ensemble of peerless technique that has consistently maintained the highest standards of tradi?tional symphonic music while remaining at the forefront of new repertories and advanced technologies. Beginning with the appointment of conductor Leopold
? Stokowski as Music Director in igi 2, the Orchestra has been a standard-bearer in the promotion of symphonic music for decades of Ann Arbor music lovers through 266 con?cert performances under the auspices of the University Musical Society -264 of which were as the resident orchestra of the Ann Arbor May Festival (1936-1984). The Orchestra's impact on American musical culture -through transcontinental tours, recordings, and special concerts for chil?dren and youth -is indisputable. Moreover, its international reputation has
v been continually enhanced by extensive tours of Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the former Soviet Union.
In addition to world premieres of essen?tial twentieth-century works by Schoenberg, Bartok, Rachmaninoff, Webern, Barber, Harris, and Sessions, the Orchestra has pre?sented U.S. premieres of masterworks by Stravinsky, Mahler, Strauss, Berg, and Shostakovich. The ensemble was the first symphonic orchestra to make electrical recordings (in 1925), the first to perform its own commercially sponsored radio broad?cast (in 1929, on NBC), the first to record all the Brahms symphonies on compact disc (in 1988). In 1939 Stokowski and the-Orchestra made media history when they participated in Walt Disney's Fantasia, for
which the Orchestra provided the sound?track. The path-forging film did more toward popularizing symphonic music in the U.S. than any other single film, broadcast, or recording.
The Philadelphians have achieved this prominence partly because of an unbroken chain of outstanding musical leadership. When it was founded in 1900, the Orchestra appointed, as its first conductor, the esteemed Fritz Scheel; he was succeeded in 1907 by Darl Pohlig, former Music Director at the Stuttgart court and assistant to Gustav Mahler.
Within a few years of his appointment in 1912, the British-born conductor Leopold Stokowski led the Orchestra in U.S. pre?mieres of Mahler's Eighth Symphony and Das Lied von derErde, Schoenberg's Kammersymphonie, and Scriabin's Divine Poem. Other important first performances during Stokowski's twenty-four-year tenure as Music Director included world premieres of Rachmaninoff s Third,Symphony and Fourth Piano Concerto, Sibelius's Sixth and Seventh Symphonies, and Schoenberg's Violin Concerto; and the U.S. premieres of Schoenberg's Gurrelieder, Stravinsky's Ije saae du printemps, and Berg's Wozzeck.
Eugene Ormandy, who assumed the Music Directorship in 1936, maintained and expanded upon this foundation of excel?lence. The Hungarian-born conductor made his debut with the Orchestra in 1931, when he was called in to replace the ailing Arturo Toscanini. Under his 44-year leader?ship the Orchestra traveled widely, making six European tours since World War II, as well as visits to Latin America, Japan, Korea, and mainland China. The Orchestra's 1949 trip to Great Britain was its first overseas lour. Over five decades, he and the Orchestra produced nearly 400 long-playing recordings, some 200 of which are currently

Eugene Ormandy with former UMS President Charles a. Sink
available, and three of which are Gold Records. Ormandy built the Orchestra's world-famous virtuosity, which has made it a favorite of composers from Rachmaninoff to Shostakovich to Rands. He also continued in Stokowski's tradition of first performances, including world premieres of Bartok's Third Piano Concerto, Persichetti's Third Symphony, Barber's Violin Concerto and Medea, and Webern's Three Pieces for Orchestra and Im Sommerwind. In 1952, Ormandy appointed William Smith as Assistant Conductor; in 1976 Smith became Associate Conductor, a post in which he served-until announcing his retirement ' shordy before his death in March 1993. In 1980 Ormandy turned over the Orchestra's leadership to die Italian conductor Riccardo Muti; Ormandy continued to serve, in the position of Conductor Laureate, until his deadi in 1985.
Muti built upon the Orchestra's tradi?tion of versatility by introducing to its audi?ences new and unfamiliar music from all periods. He captured die imagination of young people by opening dress rehearsals to high-school students. An active advocate of contemporary music, Muti commissioned works by a wide range of composers, includ?ing Mario Davidovsky, William Bolcom, Shulamit Ran, Luciano Berio, Leon Kirchner, Christopher Rouse, Richard Wernick, and Steve Stucky. In 1989 Muti
announced the appointment of Pulitzer-Prize-winning American composer Bernard Rands'as the Orchestra's first Composer in Residence, a position sponsored partly by Meet the Composer. Beginning in 1983 Muti revived the Orchestra's operatic tradi?tion, presenting concert performances of opera by Gluck, Verdi, Puccini, Leoncavallo, and Wagner. In 1988 Muu led the Orchestra in a three-week Tour of the Americas, the ensemble's first visit to South America in 22 years.'Muti relinquished his position as Music Director at the end on the 1991-92 season.
In 1990 the Orchestra announcedthe appointment of Munich-born conductor Wolfgang Sawallisch as its new Music Director, effective September 1993. Sawallisch's previous guest appearances with the Orchestra, beginning with his Philadelphia debut in 1966, were highly acclaimed -as were the recordings of Dvorak's Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Symphonies that he has made more recently with the Orchestra (for EMI Classics). Sawallisch took up his Philadelphia post after completing a 21-year tenure as Music Director and General Director of the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, where he had become known the world over for per?formances of Mozart, Strauss, and Wagner. During his first season as Music Director in Philadelphia he conducted widely acclaimed performances of Haydn, Wagner, Strauss, Stravinsky, Hindemith, and Britten, as well as the world premiere of Jacob Druckman's Counterpoise.

he Uptown String Quartet
I is one of the most unusual and important string quar?tets to emerge in recent years. It's members bring a wealth of experience in both classical and jazz music to create a unique sound of their own. Skilled improvisers and polished ensemble playe,rs, they traverse a tremendous range of music and match their expansive techniques and subtle dynamic shades to the demands of each piece they perform.
A direct outgrowth of the Max Roach Double Quartet, the legendary percussionist and composer became the driving force. ? behind the group after he brought the musi?cians together more than a decade ago to play alongside his regular quartet. Since then, the Uptown String Quartet has launched a highly successful independent career, beginning with their debut CD on the Polygram label and their
New York debut at the 92nd Street Yin 1990.
On their debut recording, Max Roach Presents the Uptown String Quartet, they brought a magnetic blend of cohesion, expressive warmth and energy to a variety of pieces, commissioned especially for the recording from various com?posers selected by Max Roach. Just Wait a Minute, their 1992 Bluembon release was also met with tremendous critical acclaim.
The women devote themselves to all styles of music of the African-American cultural her?itage. Their repertory includes original works and arrangements that covers jazzr the blues, ragtime, spirituals, and rhythm and blues. Their music was featured on the soundtrack of Spike Lee's film, Do the Right Thing, and they have " appeared on the television programs CBS Nightwatch, The Today Show, The Eleventh Hour, and the WGBH program Say Brother.
Tonight's concert marks The Uptown String Quartet's second UMS appearance. '

The Michigan Theater
The historic Michigan Theater opened its doors January 5, 1928 at the peak of the vaudeville movie palace era. The gracious facade and beautiful interior were then as now a marvel practically unrivaled in Michigan. As was the custom of the day, the Theater was equipped to host both film and live stage events, with a full-size stage, dressing rooms, an orchestra pit, and the Barton Theater Organ, acclaimed as the best of its kind in the country.
Over the years, the Theater has undergone many changes. "Talkies" replace silent films just one year after the Theater opened, and vaudeville soon disappeared from the stage. As Theater attendance dwindled in the '50s, both the interior and exterior of the building were remodeled in a style which was architecturally inappropriate. Through the '60s and '70s the 1800-seat theater struggled against changes in the film industry and audiences until the non-profit Michigan Theater Foundation stepped in to operate the failing movie house in 1979.
After a partial renovation which returned much of the Theater to its prior glory, the Michigan Theater has become Ann Arbor's home of quality cinema as well as a popular venue for the performing arts. The Michigan Theater is also the home of the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra.
Burton Memorial Tower
A favorite campus and Ann Arbor landmark, Burton Memorial Tower is the familiar mailing address and box office location for UMS concertgoers.
In a 1921 commencement address, University president Marion LeRoy Burton suggested that a bell tower, tall enough to be seen for miles, be built in the center of campus to represent the idealism and loyalty of U-M alumni. Burton served as president of the University and as a Musical Society trustee from 1920 until his death in 1925.
In 1935 Charles M. Baird, the University's first athletic director, donated $70,000 for a carillon and clock to be installed in a tower dedicated to the memory of President Burton. Several organizations, including the Musical Society, undertook the task of procuring funds, and nearly 1,500 individuals and organizations made contributions. The gift of the UMS totalled $60,000.
Designed by Albert Kahn, Burton Memorial Tower was completed in 1940, at which time the University Musical Society took residence of the first floor and basement.
A renovation project headed by local builder Joe O'Neal began in the summer of 1991. As a result, the UMS now has refurbished offices on three floors of the tower, complete with updated heating, air conditioning, storage, lighting, and wiring. Over 230 individuals and businesses contributed to this project.
The remaining floors of Burton Tower are arranged as classrooms and offices used by the School of Music, with the top reserved for the Charles Baird Carillon. During the academic year, visitors may observe the carillon chamber and enjoy a live performance from noon to 12:30 p.m. weekdays when classes are in session and most Saturdays from 10:15 to 10:45 a.m.
Arts Midwest Minority Fellow
The University Musical Society is pleased to have been selected as a host site for its second Arts Midwest Minority Arts Administration Fellow. Morning Bishop, founder and director of the Morning Bishop Theater Playhouse in Gary, Indiana, is spending four months at UMS this fall to enhance her present arts administra?tion skills, to develop a network of new contacts, and to increase her awareness of the challenges facing persons of color in the field of arts administration. Arts Midwest works in partnership with private and public arts supporters throughout the Midwest to translate human and financial resources into enriching arts experiences for Midwestern residents.
Volunteers & Internships
Volunteers are always welcome and needed to assist the UMS staff with many projects and events during the concert season. Projects include helping with mailings, ushering for the Philips Educational Presentations, staffing the Information Table in the lobbies of concert halls, distributing publicity materials, assisting with the Youth Program by compiling educa?tional materials for teachers, greeting and escorting students to seats at performances, and serving as good-will representatives for UMS as a whole.
If you would like to become part of the University Musical Society volunteer corps, please call (313) 747-1175 or pick up a volunteer application form from the Information Table in the lobby.
Internships with the University Musical Society provide experience in performing arts manage?ment, marketing, journalism, publicity, and promotion. Semesterand year-long internships are available in many aspects of the University Musical Society's operations.

Absolute chaos. That is what would ensue without ushers to help concertgoers find their seats at UMS performances. Ushers serve the essential function of assisting patrons with seating and distributing program books. With their help, concerts begin peacefully and pleasantly.
The UMS Usher Corps comprises 275 individu?als who volunteer their time to make concertgoing easier. Music lovers from the community and the university constitute this valued group. The all-volunteer group attends an orientation and training session each fall. Ushers are responsible for working at every UMS performance in a specific hall (Hill, Power, or Rackham) for the entire concert season.
The ushers must enjoy their work, because 85 of them return to volunteer each year. In fact some ushers have served for 30 years or longer. Bravi Ushers!

Advertising with the University Musical Society
Four years ago, UMS began publishing expanded program books that included advertising and detailed information about UMS programs and service. As a result, advertising revenue now pays for all printing and design costs.
UMS advertisers have written to tell us how much they appreciate advertising in the UMS program books to reach you, our world-class audience. We hope that you will patronize the businesses who advertise with UMS and tell them that you saw their ad in the UMS program book so that we can continue to bring you the program notes, artists' biographies, and general information that illuminate each UMS presentation. For informa?tion about how your business can become a UMS advertiser, call (313) 764-6199.

Youth Program
Thousands of school children annually attend UMS concerts as part of the UMS Youth Program, which began in 1990 with special one-hour performances for local fourth graders of Puccini's La Boheme by the New York City Opera National Company.
Now in its sixth year under the Education Depart?ment, the UMS Youth Program continues to expand, with a performance by the Martha Graham Dance Company for middle and high school students, a performance by the Shaw Festival for high school students, and two fourth-grade opera performances, as well as discounted tickets to nearly every concert in the UMS season.
As part of the Martha Graham Dance Company's Ann Arbor residency and the four-day multidisciplinary program entitled "In The American Grain: The Martha Graham Centenary Festival," the Graham Company presents a special youth program to middle and high school students on Friday, October 28.
Friday, November 18, area high school students will experience a full-length performance of the Shaw Festival's production of Shaw's Arms and the Man.
On Friday, March 3, 1995 2700 fourth-graders will visit the Power Center for abbreviated one-hour performances of Rossini's Barber of Seville. These performances allow children to experience opera that is fully-staged and fully-costumed with the same orchestra and singers that appear in the full-length performances.
Discounted tickets are also available for UMS concerts as part of the Youth Program to encourage students to attend concerts with their teachers as a part of the regular curriculum. Parents and teachers are encouraged to organize student groups to attend any UMS events, and the UMS Youth Program Coordinator will work with you to personalize the students' concert experience, which often includes meeting the artists after the performance. Many teachers have used UMS performances to enhance their classroom curriculums.
The UMS Youth Program has been widely praised for its innovative programs and continued success in bringing students to the performing arts at affordable prices. To learn more about how you can take advantage of the various programs offered, call Education Coordinator Helen Siedel at 313.936.0430.
The 199411995 UMS Education Program is underwritten in pan by the McKinley Foundation, ER1M. the Bernard L. Maas Foundation, the Anderson Associates, Ford Motor Company, David and Tina Loesel, Thomas H. and Mary Steffek Blaske, and the Michigan Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs.
