UNIVERSITY MUSICAL SOCIETY
of the University of Michigan Ann Arbor
The
1996 Fall Season
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 199596 season comes to a close next spring, the UMS will have brought to the community per?formances 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 understand?ing 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 at 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:
O First, and most important, the people in 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 our artists, they are among the most informed, engaged and appreciative audiences in the country.
O 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.
O Our special relationship with one of the country's leading educational institutions, the University of Michigan, has allowed us to maintain a level of independence which, in turn, affords us the ability to be creative, bold and entrepreneurial in bringing the best to Ann Arbor. While the UMS is proudly affiliated with the University of Michigan and is housed on the Ann Arbor campus, UMS is a separate not-for-profit organization which supports itself from ticket sales, other earned income, grants, and contributions.
O 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 Cecilia Bartoli perform a recital before 4,300 people and know that her pianissimos can be heard unamplified by everyone
O 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 UMS Choral Union, 55-member Advisory Committee, 275-member usher corps, and hundreds of other volunteers and interns contribute thousands of hours to the UMS each year and provide critical services that we could not afford otherwise.
O 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 for coming, and let me hear from you if you have any suggestions, complaints, etc. Look for me in the lobby or give me a call at 313.747.1174.
Sincerely,
Kenneth C. Fischer Executive Director

University Musical Society
of the University of Michigan
Now in its 117th 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 Choral Union led to the formation in 1880 of the University Musical Society whose name was derived from the fact that many members were affili?ated 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, 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, Jazz Directions, World Tour, and Moving Truths Series, the Musical Society now hosts over 60 concerts and more than 100 educational events each season featuring the world's finest dance companies,
opera, theater, popular attractions, and presentations from diverse cultures. The University Musical Society has flourished these 117 years with the support of a generous musicand arts-loving community, which has gathered in Hill and Rackham Auditoria, Power Center, and The Michigan Theater to experience the artistry of such outstanding talents as Leonard Bernstein, the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonic Orchestras, Sweet Honey in the Rock, the Martha Graham Dance Company, Enrico Caruso, Jessye Norman, James Levine, the Philadelphia Orchestra, Urban Bush Women, Benny Goodman, Andres Segovia, The Stratford Festival, The Beaux Arts Trio, Cecilia Bartoli, and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
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 strength?ened through educational endeavors, commissioning of new works, programs for young people, artists' residencies such as the Martha Graham Centenary Festival and the Society Bank Cleveland Orchestra Weekend, and through other collaborative projects.
While it is proudly affiliated with the University of Michigan, is housed on the Ann Arbor campus, and collaborates regularly with many University units, 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
The University Musical Society Choral Union has performed throughout its 117-year history with many of the world's distinguished orchestras and conductors.
In recent years, the chorus has sung under the direction of Neemejarvi, Kurt Masur, Eugene Ormandy, Robert Shaw, Igor Stravinsky, Andre Previn, Michael Tilson-Thomas, Seiji Ozawa, Robert Spano and David Zinman in performances with the Detroit Smphony Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestra of St. Luke's and other noted ensembles.
Based in Ann Arbor, under the aegis of the University Musical Society of the University of Michigan, the 180-voice Choral Union remains best known for its annual performances of Handel's Messiah each December. Two years ago, the Choral Union further enriched that tradition through its appointment as resident large chorus of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. In January 1994 the Choral Union collaborated with Maestro Jarvi and the DSO in the chorus' first major commercial recording, Tchaikowsky's Snow Maiden, released by Chandos Records in October of that year. This past season, the ensemble joined forces with the DSO for sub?scription performances of Ravel's Daphnis el Chloe and Mahler's Symphony No. 2 (Resurrection). In 1995, the Choral Union established an artistic associ?ation with the Toledo Symphony, inaugurating the new partnership with a performance of Britten's War Requiem under the baton of Maestro Andrew Massey.
The long choral tradition of the University Musical Society reaches back to 1879, when a group of local church choir members and other interested singers came together to sing choruses from Handel's Messiah, an event that signaled the birth of the University Musical Society. Participation in the Choral Union remains open to all by audition. Representing a mixture of townspeople, students and faculty, members of the Choral Union share one common passion a love of the choral art.
Hill Auditorium
Completed in 1913, this renowned concert hall was inaugurated at the 20th Annual Ann Arbor May Festival and has since been home to thousands of University Musical Society concerts, including the annual Choral Union Series, through?out its distinguished 82-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. Hill bequested $200,000 for construction of the hall, and 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 Colombian Exposition and installed it in old University Hall (which stood behind 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 in appearance, but were restored to their original stenciling, coloring, and layout in ig86.
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.
Rackham Auditorium
For over 50 years, this intimate and unique con?cert hall has been the setting for hundreds of world-acclaimed chamber music ensembles pre?sented 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 pre?sented 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.
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 anniver?sary 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 1,380 in the auditorium, as well as rehearsal spaces, dressing rooms, costume and scenery shops, and an orchestra pit.
UMS hosted its annual week-long theater resi?dency in the Power Center, welcoming the esteemed Shaw Festival of Canada, November 15-20, 1994.
In October 1994, UMS, the Martha Graham Dance Company, and ten institutional partners hosted
"In the American Grain: The Martha Graham Centenary Festival" commemorating the 100th anniversary of Martha Graham's birth. The Power Center was the site of open rehearsals, exhibits, workshops, and performances, including the 50th anniversary celebration of the premiere of the Martha GrahamAaron Copland collaboration Appalachian Spring (Ballet for Martha).
The Michigan Theater
Tihe 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 practi?cally 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, die Theater has undergone many changes. Talkies" replaced silent films just one year after die Theater opened, and vaudeville soon disap?peared from die stage. As Theater attendance dwindled in the '50s, both the interior and exterior of die building were remodeled in an architecturally inappropriate style.
Through the '60s and '70s the 1800-seat theater struggled against changes in the film industry and audiences until the non-profit Michigan Theater Found?ation stepped in to operate die failing movie house in 1979.
After a partial renovation which returned much of its prior glory, the 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 die Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra.
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church
In June of 1950, Edward Cardinal Mooney appointed Father Leon Kennedy pastor of a new parish in Ann Arbor. Sunday Masses were first celebrated at Pittsfield School until the first building was ready on Easter Sunday, 1951 ? The parish num?bered 248 families. Ground was broken in 1967 to build a permanent church building, and on March 19, ig69,John Cardinal Dearden dedicated the new St. Francis of Assisi Church. In June of 1987, Father Charles E. Irvin was appointed pastor.
Today, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church is composed of 2,800 families. The present church seats 800 people and has ample free parking. Since 1987 Janelle O'Malley has served as Music Director of St. Francis. Through dedication, a commitment to superb liturgical music and a vision into the future, the parish improved the acoustics of the church building. A splendid 3 manual "mechanical action" instrument of 34 stops and 45 ranks was built and installed by Orgues Letourneau from Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec. The 1994 Letourneau Organ (Opus 38) was dedicated in December of 1994.
Burton Memorial Tower
A favorite campus and Ann Arbor landmark, Burton Memorial Tower is the familiar mail?ing 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 donated labor, materials, and funds to this project.
The remaining floors of Burton Tower are arranged as classrooms and offices used by die 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 per?formance from noon to 12:30 p.m. weekdays when classes are in session and most Saturdays from 10:15 to 10:45 am-

This evening's program reflects the glories of the nineteenthentury French song. The French style of this period often personifies a coquet-tishness, a sly smile or a joyous exuberance. Even in a relatively sad song, a French composer would never think of bearing his or her soul to the world in the way Schubert, Schumann or Wolf do in their great Lieder. The French style is lighter in mood and in outlook. Another aspect of this repertoire is the way that French composers invoke the exotic, using other national styles to enrich their musical language. A Spanish motif is featured in much of this evening's program.
Georges Bizet
Born October 25, 1838 in Paris Died June 3, i8y$ in Bougival
Georges Bizet is best known for one opera, Carmen, and one duet from The Pearl Fishers. Although Ouvre ton coeur, considered by many writers to be one of Bizet's finest songs, was published as a separate song during Bizet's lifetime, it was originally composed as part of a larger ode-symphonique entitled Vasco da Gama, which had its premiere in 1863. In the style of a bolero, this aria was one of the few sections of the composition which was well received by the public. Bizet later transferred the aria with modified lyrics to his opera Ivan le Terrible which was left incomplete at his deadi. Bizet also drew upon Mediterranean motifs in the Tarantelle, published in 1872.
Leo Delibes
Born February 21, 1836 in St.-Germain-du-Val, Sarthe Died January 16, 1891 in Paris
Leo Delibes is another composer best known for one work, in this case the opera Lakme. His sprightly song, Lesfilles de Cadiz, is best known today as a showcase piece for high sopranos, although the great contralto Louise Homer recorded it twice in the early years of this century.
OUVRE TON COEUR
(Louis Deldtre)
La marguerite a ferme sa corolle,
L'ombre a ferme les yeux du jour,
Belle, me tiendras-tu parole
La marguerite a ferme sa corolle.
Ouvre ton coeur a mon amour.
Ouvre ton coeur,
6, jeune ange, a ma fiamme,
Qu'un reve charme ton sommeil,
Ouvre ton coeur,
Je veux reprendre mon ame.
Ouvre ton coeur,
6, jeune ange, a ma fiamme,
Comme une fleur s'ouvre au soleil!
Ouvre ton coeur,
La la la.

Le flot, oui le flot est rapide et changeant. Le papillon, c'est votre amour La fleur et l'onde, c'est votre ame. Que rien n'emeut, que rien n'entame, Ou rien ne reste plus d'un jour. . . Le papillon, le papillon c'est votre amour.
Open Your Heart
The daisy has closed her petals,
Shadows shut the eyes of day,
My beauty, will you keep your word
The Daisy has closed her petals.
Open your heart to my love.
Open your heart,
O, infant angel, let my light,
Enchant and ignite your night,
Open your heart,
I have to take back my soul.
Open your heart,
O, infant angel, to my blaze,
As the flower opens to the day!
Open your heart,

Ah! The butterfly's flitted away!

The deep water draws all way,
The ship passes, waves erase its
silver wake. . .
The stream, yes the stream flows fast and changes. The butterfly signifies your love The flower and flood, your soul. She who isn't stirred and never opens, Here, where all flashes away in less than a day... The butterfly, the butterfly's your love.

Les filles de Cadiz (Alfred de Musset)
Nous venions de voir le taureau,
Trois garcons, trois fillettes;
Sur la pelouse il faisait beau
Et nous dansions un bolero,
Au son des castagnettes:
Dites-moi, voisin,
Sij'ai bonne mine,
Et si ma basquine,
Va bien, ce matin
Vous me trouvez la taille fine
Ah! Ah!
Les filles de Cadix aiment assez cela!
Ah! Ah!
Et nous dansions un bolero
Au pied de la colline...
Sur le chemin passait Diego
Qui pour tout bien n'a qu'un manteau
Et qu'une mandoline:
La belle aux doux yeux,
Veux-tu qu'a l'eglise
Demain te conduise
Un amant jaloux
Jaloux! Jaloux! Quelle sottise!
Ah! Ah!
Les filles de Cadix craignent ce defaut-la!
Ah! Ah!
Sweetheart, does a butterfly leave tracks
Tra la la. . .
Flower holds her pose with poise,
Tra la la
Butterfly's flitted away!
Sweetheart can you find a trace of your winged
love
Ah! Butterfly's flitted away!
Yes! ah! ah!
The Girls of Cadiz
We've come from seeing the bull,
Three guys, three babes;
On the lawn it was hot and bright
So we danced a bolero,
To the sound of castanets;
Tell me, neighbor,
Do I have a pretty face,
And my skirt, is it cute this morning,
Do you find me well put together
Ah! Ah!
The girls of Cadiz just love that kind of talk!
Ah! Ah!
As we danced a bolero,
One night, it was a Sunday,
Up to us comes this Swell--
Sharp threads, even a plume in his hat,
And his fist on his hip.
"If I'm your type,
You brown haired smiler,
Just say so,
This gold's for you!"
Get out of here, Fancy man,
Just get out of my sight.
Ah! Ah!
The girls of Cadiz don't listento that kind of talk.
Ah! Ah!

Maurice Ravel
Born March 7, 1875 in Ciboure, Basses-Pyrenees Died December 28, 1937 in Paris
Maurice Ravel was always influenced by the music of other countries. It is from Spain that he found inspiration for some of his most popular works. Bolero, Rapsodie espagnole and Don Quichotte a Dulcinee are particularly telling examples of Spanish influence. The Quatre chants draw on a variety of musical traditions: Spanish, French, Italian and Hebrew. They are usually presented as a group of four songs which is the way they were published by Ravel in 1910. After Ravel's death a fifth song, this one from Scotland, was published. Still lost but not forgotten by scholars are a Flemish and a Russian song. This evening we will hear the standard four pieces. The term "popular" in the title indicates that these songs are in a folk idiom, a clue to their origin in a folksong competition organized in Moscow. Among his other folksong settings are the Cinq melodies populaires grecques and Deux melodies hebraique.
Quatre chants populaires
Cancion espagnola
Adios meu homino, adios, Ja qui te marchas pr'a guerra Non t'olvides d'aprendina Quiche qued' a can'a terra. La la la la. ...
Castellanos de Castilla Tratade ben os galegos: Cando van, van comos rosas, Cando ven, ven como negros. La la la la. ...
Chant populaire limousin
Janeta ount anirem gardar, Qu'ajam boun tems un'oura Lan la! Aval, aval, al prat barrat; la de tan belas oumbras! Lan la!
Lou pastour quita soun mantel Per far siere Janetan, Lan la! Janeta a talamen jougat, Que se ies oublidada, lan la!
Spanish Folk Song
Goodbye, and goodbye, my man! You smile as off to war you're taken. Never forget who's waiting, Lonely weeping, all forsaken! La la la la. ...
Castilla sends her sons to war, And vows they'll come back heroes! They go off as fresh as roses, Back, if at all, as gaunt as scarecrows! La la la la. ...
French Folk Song from Limousin
Janeta, where shall we pasture today Where find an hour for pleasure Where there's a hedge to the meadow is best. There are such lovely shadows.
There he flung down his mantle trim. Seated her there beside him. With such delight did Janeta play. All else forgot that day.
Canzone italiana (romana)
M'affraccio la finestra e vedo l'onde, Vedo le mie miserie che so granne! Chiamo l'amore mio, nun m'arrisponde! Chiamo l'amore mio, nun m'arrisponde!
Mejerke, main Suhn (hebraique)
Mejerke, main Suhn,
Oi Mejerke, main Suhn,
Zi weiss tu, var wemen du steihst
"Lifnei Melech Malchei hamlochim," Tatunju.
Mejerke, main Suhn,
Oi, Mejerke, main Suhn,

Ill
Italian Folk Song (Roman)
I lean beside my window to watch the river, I only feel my sorrow deeper ever. In vain I call my lover, he'll answer never. In vain I call my lover, he'll answer never.
Mejerke, main Suhn (Hebrew)
Mejerke, my son, Who is it thou standest before Before Him who is King of all Kings, father mine.
Mejerke, my son, but why for children dost ask In sons His law yet liveth, father mine.
Mejerke, my son, but why dost ask for bread To give thee, sustain and bless thee, father mine.
Ravel
The Vocalise-elude en form de Habanera was written for a collection prepared by the voice teacher Hettich. This wordless study requires a finished vocal technique and purity of style and it is much better known in transcriptions for violin and for cello.
Hector Berlioz
Born December n, 1803 in La Cole-Saint-Andre, here Died March 8, 1869 in Paris
Hector Berlioz wrote his Zaide in 1845 and he composed several versions of this song with very little change. The most often heard is for voice and piano, but there is also a ver?sion which includes a part for castanets. A third version is for voice and orchestra takes the difficulty of playing the castanets away from the singer. This song is another bolero which brings the listener back to the style of the opening of this evening's program.
ZaIde
(Beauvoir)
"Ma ville, ma belle ville, C'est Grenade au frais jardin, C'est le palais d'Aladin, Qui vaut Cordoue et Seville.
Tous ses balcons sont ouverts, Tous ses bassins diaphanes; Toute la cour des sultanes 10 S'y tient sous les myrtes verts." Ainsi pres de Zoraide, A sa voix donnant l'essor, Chantait la jeune Zaide, Le pied dans ses mules d'or.
"Ma ville, ma belle ville" etc.
La reine lui dit: "Ma fille,
D'ou viens-tu done" "Je n'en sais rien."
"Votre amour est tout mon bien;
O ma reine, j'ai pour pere
Ce soleil plein de douceur;
La sierra, c'est ma mere,
Et les etoiles mes soeurs."
"Ma ville, ma belle ville" etc.
Cependant sur la colline Zaide a la nuit pleurait: "Helas! je sui orpheline; De moi qui se chargerait" Un cavalier vit la belle, La prit sur sa selle d'or; Grenade, helas! est loin d'elle, Mais Zaide y reve encor.
"Ma ville, ma belle ville" etc.
"My town, my beautiful town,
Is Granada, with the cool gardens,
Is Aladdin's palace,
Equal to Cordova and to Seville.
All its balconies are open, All its pools are clear; The whole court of the sultans Is held beneath green myrtles." Thus, close to Zoraide, Giving flight to her voice, Sang the young Zalde, Her feet in golden slippers.
"My town, my beautiful town" etc.
The queen said to her: "My daughter, Where are you from" "I know nothing. "So have you no family" "Your love is all I have;
0 my queen, for my father
1 have this gentle sun; The sierra is my mother, And the stars are my sisters."
"My town, my beautiful town" etc.
All this while on the hill Zalde wept to the night: "Alas! I am an orphan waif; Who will take care of me" A horseman saw this beauty, Lifted her onto his golden saddle; Alas! she is now far from Granada But still she dreams of it every day!
"My town, my beautiful town" etc.

Pauline Viardot-Garcia
Born July 18, 1821 in Paris Died May 18, igio in Paris
Pauline Viardot was one of the greatest singers of the ninteenth century. Her father was Manuel del Popolo Garcia, the great tenor who created the role of Count Almaviva in 77 barbiere di Siviglia. Her sister was Maria Malibran, another great mezzo-soprano who died tragically at the age of 28. Viardot created the role of Fides in Meyerbeer's Le Prophete and later sang the premiere of the Brahms Alto Rhapsody. She composed several operettas, a string quartet as well as a variety of solo vocal music. Her best known songs are arrangements of Chopin mazurkas, but this evening we will be hearing two of her original compositions. The Havanaise is based on a popular theme with two sets of variations which became more elaborate as the song progresses. Hai Luli is a melancholy song about loneliness.
Gioacchino Rossini
Born February 29, 1792 in Pesaro, Italy Died November 13, 1868 in Paris
In the not too distant past only a half-dozen songs of Rossini were heard with any regularity. Performers are now looking into the many miniatures written throughout his career. The Bolero is one of nearly fifty settings of the text "Mi lagnero lacendo" of Metastasio.
Havanaise (Louis Porney)
Vente nina conmigo al mar
que en la playa tengo un bajel,
Vogaremos a dos en el que alii
solo se sabe amar.
Ay rubita si tu supieras
Ah! Ah!
Sur la rive le flot d'argent
En chantant brise mollement,
Et des eaux avec le ciel
pur se confond l'azur!
Sois moins rebelle,
O ma belle, la mer t'appelle --
Ah! viens, viens, viens!
A ses chants laisse toi charmer,
Ah! viens, c'est la qu'on sait aimer.
Ah oui, c'est la qu'on sait aimer!
Sois ma belle, moins rebelle,
Laisse toi charmer, o ma belle
c'est en mer que Ton sait aimer!
Rubita, ay vente comingo al mar . .
Come, my girl, embrace the sea. Where sweet airs caress the crest and innocently soar aloft, There one learns to love. Ah! Don't refuse the lesson. . . Ah! Ah!
On the shore the silver waves and sweet breezes softly sing. Throbbing surge laps the sky, Even heaven is dazzled! Be less unwilling O my beauty, the sea calls you -she sings come, come, come! Let those sweet sounds seduce you, Ah, come, they teach us to love. Ah yes, those songs teach us to love! O my beauty, be less unwilling Let the siren sounds seduce you, It's the sea that teaches love!
Come, my girl, embrace the sea . . . .
Hai Luli! (Xavier de Maistre)
Je suis triste, je m'inquiete,
Je ne sais plus que devenir,
Mon bon ami devait venir,
Et je l'attends ici seulette.
Hai luli!
Hai luli!
Ou done peut etre mon ami
Je m'assieds pour filer ma laine,
Le fil se casse dans ma main. . .
Allons je filerai demain,
Aujourd'hui je suis trop en peine!
Hai luli!
Qu'il fait triste sans mon ami!
Si jamais il devient volage,
S'il doit un jour m'abandonner,
Le village n'a qu'a briiler,
Et moi meme avec le village!
Hai luli!
A quoi bon vivre sans ami
Bolero
(Melastasio)
Mi lagnero tacendo della mia sorte amara, ma ch'io non t'amo, o cara non lo sperar da me. Crudel, perche finora, farmi penar cosi
I am sad, and I worry.
I don't know which makes more sense,
My boy friend should be here by now
And here I am, waiting all alone.
Hai hilil
Hai lull!
Where might my boy friend be
I sit down to spin my wool,
but the yarn twists up in my hands. . .
Well, I'll have the spin tomorrow
I'm just too unhappy to do it today!
Hai luli!
I'm depressed without my love!
If he's being fickle,
If this is the day he's leaving,
I'm going to burn up the village,
and myself with it!
Hai luli!
What's the use of living without my love
I shall suffer mutely
my miserable fate,
but do not delude yourself, my love,
with hopes that I do not love you.
Cruel one, why do you continue
to make me suffer thus
Rossini
Although Gioachino Rossini was the consummate Italian bel canto composer, he spent a great deal of his life in Paris writing French operas and revising older works to conform to Parisian tastes. The four songs on this evening's program demonstrate the blending of the French and Italian influences in Rossini's music.
L'ariette de l'ancienne (Rousseau)
Que le jour me dure passe loin de toi, toute la nature n'est plus rien pour moi.
Le plus vert bocage quand tu n'y viens pas, n'est qu'un lieu sauvage pour moi sans appas.
Marguerite
(N. Cimbal)
Marguerite n'avait rien
que douceur et bonte pour tout bien;
pour gagner un peu de pain
elle filait soir et matin,
et toujours, joyeuse, laborieuse,
elle filait, elle chantait:
"Marguerite, tourne vite,
tourne sans fin
ton fuseau de beau lin.
Tra la la la."
Marguerite n'avait rien
que douceur et bonte pour tout bien;
or un jour elle eut grand faim,
pas de travail et pas de pain,
son bon ange alors fidele
vint pres d'elle en souriant
et lui disant:
"Marguerite, je t'invite,
voici des fruits que j'ai cueillis,
les plus beaux fruits du paradis."
Ariette in the Old Style
How the days seem long, when I am far from you! Nature herself Now means nothing to me.
The greenest copse
without you
is a mere wilderness
and holds no charm for me.
Marguerite had nothing
but sweetness and goodness for all;
to earn a bit of bread
she spun night and day,
and always, joyous, hard-working,
as she spun, she sang:
"Marguerite, turn swiftly,
turn endlessly
your spindle.
Trala la la."
Marguerite had nothing
but sweetness and goodness for all;
now one day she was very hungry,
but had no work and no bread;
her faithful guardian angel, then,
came near to her, smiling,
and said to her:
"Marguerite, I invite you,
here is some fruit I have gathered,
the loveliest fruits from paradise.
L'ame delaisse (Casimir Delavigne)
Mon bien-aime, dans mes douleurs, je viens de la cite des pleurs, pour vous demander des prieres; vous me disiez, penche vers moi, "Si je vis, je prierai pour toi", voila vos paroles dernieres. Helas! depuis que j'ai quitte vos bras, jamais je n'entends vos prieres; Helas! j'ecoute et vous ne priez pas.
Adieu, adieu, je ne reviendrai plus vous lasser de cris superflus, puisqu'a vos yeux une autre est belle. Ah, que ses baisers vous soient doux, je suis morte et souffre pour vous, heureux d'aimer, vivez pour elle. Helas! pensez quelquefois dans ses bras a L'abtme ou Dieu me rappelle. Helas! j'y descends, ne m'y suivez pas.
L'Orpheline du Tyrol
(Emilien Pacini)
Seule, une pauvre enfant sans parents
implore le passant en tremblant.
"Ah voyez mes douleurs et mes pleurs!
Ma mere dort ailleurs sous les fleurs."
L'humble enfant orpheline a bien faim
et pour un peu de pain tend la main.
'Je chanterai mon vieux refrain:
Ah, loin de mon doux Tyrol,
mon coeur brise prendra son vol.
L'echo muet des bois
n'entendra plus ma triste voix:
Ah Dieu, j'espere en toi,
prends pitie, prends pitie de moi!
Ma mere, ton adieu en ce lieu m'inspire mon seul voeu au bon Dieu. A quinze ans tant souffrir c'est mourir, ne peux-tu revenir me benir
The Neglected Soul
My sweetheart, in my grief,
I come from the land of tears
To beg you to pray for me;
Leaning towards me, you said:
"As long as I live, I shall pray for you."
Those were your final words.
Alas! Since leaving your arms,
I have heard no prayer from you;
Alas! I listen and you do not pray.
Farewell, farewell, I shall never return
To weary you with endless plaint,
Since another is now the apple of your eye.
Oh, may her kisses be sweet to you,
I am dead, and in agony for you,
While you, happy in love, you must live for her.
Alas! In her arms, sometimes think
of the abyss to which the Lord commands me.
Alas! I go there -do not follow me.
The Tyrolean Orphan Girl
Alone, a poor little girl with no parents
timorously begs from passers-by.
"Oh, see my pain and my tears!
My mother sleeps far away beneath the flowers."
The humble orphan girl is hungry
and holds out her hand for a little bread.
"I shall sing my old song:
Oh, far from the Tyrol that is dear to me,
My broken heart takes flight.
The silent echo of the woods
will hear my sad voice no more:
Oh Lord, my hope lies in you,
have pity, have pity on me!
Mother, your farewell from this place carries with it my prayer to the Good Lord. For me, fifteen years old, such suffering is death, Will you never return to give me your blessing
Pourquoi le froid trepas et le glas
t'ont-ils saisie, helas, dans mes bras
Ton coeur glace ne m'entend pas:
ah, la douleur et la faim a
mes tourments vont mettre fin;
ma mere, je te vois,
j'entends de loin ta douce voix:
Ah Dieu, j'espere en toi,
prends pitie, prends pitie de moi!"
VI
Why did the chill of death and the tolling knell
snatch you, alas, from my arms
Your frozen heart cannot hear me:
Oh, grief and hunger
will soon end my suffering;
Mother, I see you,
in the distance I hear your sweet voice:
Oh Lord, my hope lies in you,
have pity, have pity on me!"

Rossini
First performed in 1817, La Cenerentola is one of Rossini's greatest comic operas. It is an adaptation of the Cinderella story widi a bracelet rather than a slipper as the lost item the Prince finds as the heroine leaves the ball. In this rondo-finale to the opera, Cenerentola tries to bring peace and family harmony back into her life. She forgives her father and step?sisters for die way they treated her (no wicked step-mother for Rossini) and she anticipates a life of happiness. A portion of this scene is a transposition of the final tenor aria from barbiere di Siviglia. Almost from its premiere, tenors omitted this last aria. As Rossini was never one to waste a great aria, he found a perfect space for it in La Cenerentola.
Rondo from La Cenerentola
Nacqui all'affanno e al pianto, soffri tacendo il core; ma per soave incanto dell'eta mia nel fiore, come un baleno rapido la sorte mia cangio
No, tergete il ciglio, perche tremar, perche A questo sen volate, figlia, sorella, arnica, tutto trovate in me.
Non piu mesta accanto al fuoco Staro sola a gorgheggiar. Ah, fu un lampo, un sogno, un giuoco II mio lungo palpitar.
I was born to suffering and to tears,
I suffered in silence;
but by some sweet magic spell,
in the flower of my youth,
swift as a shaft of lightning,
my fate has changed.
No, dry your tears, why be afraid Hurry to me, daughter, sister, friend, you will find all in me.
No longer sad beside the fire
shall I sit alone, singing,
ah, my long years of heartache
were but a streak of lighting, a dream, a game.
Notes by Richard LeSueur, Ann Arbor, Michigan, 1995.
orn in Rome, mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli attended the Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia while con?temporaneously studying with her parents, both professional singers. With her mother, Silvana Bazzoni, Ms. Bartoli perfected her vocal technique, while with her father, Angelo Bartoli, she worked to deepen her musical interpretations.
Ms. Bartoli's earliest opportunities to perform before wide audiences came first in an Italian national telecast devoted to pre?senting young artists and then in a French national telecast dedicated to the late Maria .ill.is. Immediately thereafter, Ms. Bartoli was contacted by the late Maestro Herbert von Karajan who engaged her for the Bach b-minor Mass at the 1990 Salzburg Easter Festival. At the same time there began a pro?lific collaboration with Maestro Daniel Barenboim focusing on the Mozart repertory -specifically the da Ponte trilogy.
Thereafter, Ms. Bartoli's career developed internationally bringing her into contact with many of the most prestigious interna?tional conductors, stage directors and opera houses. Highlights include Don Giovanni (MutiStehler) at La Scala, Cosifan lulte (MehtaMiller) at the Florence Maggio Musicale, Le nozze di Figaro (Harnoncourt Ponnelle) at the Zurich Opera and La Cenerentola (Chaillyde Simone) at the Bologna Opera.
Most recently, Ms. Bartoli has appeared as Zerlina in a new BarenboimChereau production of Don Giovanni at the 1994 Salzburg Festival, as Despina in a new Muti de Simone production of Cosifan lutte at the Theater An der Wien in Autumn 1994 and a new HarnoncourtFlimm production of Haydn's Orfeom the 1995 Wiener Festwochen which was televised by Austrian national television (ORF).
In Spring 1995, Ms. Bartoli was honored
by France which conferred upon her the title of "Chevalier of Arts and Letters".
Highlights of Cecilia Bartoli's 1995 and 1996 calendar include a summer recital tour of Argentina and Brazil, an autumn recital tour in Switzerland, followed by autumn recitals in the United States and Canada. In addition to performing La Cenerentola in Houston, Ms. Bartoli will make her Metropolitan Opera debut in February 1996 as Despina in a new production of Cost fan tutte conducted by Metropolitan Music Director James Levine. Ms. Bartoli will also make her Carnegie Hall recital debut in March 1996 with Andras Schiff at the piano. She then takes part in a Metropolitan Opera gala honoring Maestro Levine (scheduled for international television) before returning to Europe in Spring 1996 for additional recitals as well as a revival of La Cenerentola in Zurich. In June 1996 Ms. Bartoli will appear in concert with Maestro Muti and the Filharmonica della Scala at the Musikverein where she returns as featured soloist in Autumn 1996 with Maestro Harnoncourt and the Concentus Musicus. That Autumn will also find Ms. Bartoli performing in concert and in recital through?out Europe.
In addition to the works of Mozart and Rossini, Ms. Bartoli's repertory spans from Monteverdi to Ravel with particular attention centered on Vivaldi, Haydn, Bellini and the Italian "Settecento" composers.
Ms. Bartoli is a noted recitalist throughout Europe, North and South America and Japan. Not only does she regularly collaborate in recital with Gyorgy Fischer, Steven Blier and Jeff Cohen, but also enjoys special relation?ships in recital with noted soloists, such as Andras Schiff, and conductors Myung-Whun Chung, James Levine and Daniel Barenboim.
Ms. Bartoli has made a considerable number of award-winning recordings for The Decca Record Company Ltd. with which she is an exclusive artist. Recordings of complete operas include Rossini's Barbiere di SivigUa
(Patane), and La Cenerentola (Chailly), Mozart's La clemenza di Tito (Hogwood) as well as Pucinni's Manon Lescaut (Levine). Ms. Bartoli's solo recordings include three albums of Rossini: "Arias", "Songs" and "Heroines"; two albums of Mozart: "Arias" and "Portraits"; "If You Love Me" (an album of Italian arie antiche edited by Parisotti); and, in collaboration with Andras Schiff, an album of Italian lieder by Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Haydn entitled "The Impatient Love." Ms. Bartoli has also recorded Pergolesi's Stabat Mater (Dutoit) and the Mozart Requiem in Vienna's St. Stefan's Cathedral commemorating the 200th anniversary of the composer's death with Maestro Sold and the Vienna Philharmonic. The latter performance was also televised worldwide.
Cecilia Bartoli was recently awarded the 1995 Grammy Award "Best Classical Vocal Album" for her "Italian Lieder" album with Mr. Schiff. Her discography has won numerous other critical awards including, amongst others, the Deutsche-Schallplatten Preise (Germany), La Stella d'oro (Italy), the Caecilia Award (Belgium), the Diapason d'or Award (France) as well as "Best Opera Recording 1994" for La Cenerentola in Japan. In 1993 Ms. Bartoli had the singular distinction of simultaneously having five of her solo albums among the top 15 best selling classical albums on the Billboard Charts in North America. Her latest record?ing of Mozart "Portraits" within the first six months of its release has sold over 200,000 copies in the United States alone. Time Magazine named Ms. Bartoli the "1992
Top Recording Artist" in both classical and popular categories while Musical America named her "Singer of the Year." In 1993 she earned the unique distinction of being named both Billboard's "Artist of the Year" and 'Top Selling Classical Artist" as well as "1994 Female Classical Artist of the Year" at the Classical Music Awards in London.
In Autumn 1994 Newsweek Magazine published interna?tionally an extensive interview with Ms. Bartoli. In Winter 1995, she was the subject of an extended segment on the award-winning U.S.Australian television program 60 Minutes.
This evening's performance marks Ms. Bartoli's second appearance under UMS auspices.

Steven Blier enjoys a distinguished career as accompanist and vocal coach. Among the many artists he has partnered in recital are Maureen Forrester, Evelyn Lear, Roberta Peters, Samuel Ramey, Suzanne Mentzer, Lorraine Hunt, Kurt Ollmann and the late Arleen Auger. In April 1994 he played his first recital with mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli at Alice Tully Hall. He continues his associa?tion with Ms. Bartoli in recitals throughout
the United States, Canada, Mexico and South America in the summer and autumn of 1995. Mr. Blier has also been heard in concert with soprano June Anderson, most notably in her recital debuts at Carnegie Hall and at La Scala.
As a vocal coach he has helped to prepare Luciano Pavarotti, Marilyn Home and Joan Morris for recordings and orchestral engagements.
Mr. Blier is the co-founder and artistic director of the acclaimed New York Festival of Song, where he has planned and played over forty different recital programs. The concert series, now in its seventh season, features new works, standard repertoire and re-discoveries from the world of art song, vocal chamber music and theater pie'ces, sung by a roster of America's finest singers. Mr. Blier's repertoire with nyfos has ranged fromjanacek, Brahms and Sibelius to Gershwin and Lennon-McCartney. The Festival's second season opened in September 1989 with the United States premiere of Leonard Bernstein's last work, Arias and Barcaroles. The Festival's subsequent recording of the piece won a Grammy Award in 1991. This season the group's New York concerts are divided between die 92nd Street Y and Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall, nyfos
made its European debut in March 1994 at London's Wigmore Hall, where they returned in June 1995 with a French program featuring Mr. Blier, Lorraine Hunt and Kurt Ollmann.
One of Mr. Blier's primary musical col?laborations has been with baritone William Sharp. Highlights of their teamwork include the First Prize in the Carnegie Hall America Music competition in September 1987, their Carnegie Hall recital debut in February 1989 and a 1990 Grammy nomination for their debut recital album on New World records. They have gone on to record discs of songs by Gershwin, Marc Blitzstein and Charles Ives as well as German Lieder. Mr. Blier can also be heard on the Nonesuch label record?ing of Lady Be Good (as duo-pianist with John Musto), as well as the 1991 Richard Tucker gala on rca Red Seal, in which he partners Renee Fleming and Samuel Ramey.
Mr. Blier's repertoire extends to a solo program of ragtime, blues and stride piano works by composers ranging from Eubie Blake to Aaron Copland.

In a Downbeat magazine article, the legendary J.J.Johnson referred to a solo by Slide Hampton -at Wolf Trap's 70th birthday tribute to Dizzy Gillespie -as "one of the most articulate ever given on a trombone." This is high praise indeed from an artist widely considered to be the greatest of trombone masters.
Long acknowledged as a master composer, arranger and trombonist, the self-taught Slide Hampton appears in a brilliant new light as musical director of the JazzMasters. Critic Peter Watrous, writing in The New York Times, commented that the performance he attended at the Village Vanguard displayed "Mr. Hampton's brilliance as a gifted arranger, unequaled in the breadth of his resources."
Pittsburgh-born and Indianapolis-bred, Slide Hampton was raised in a musical envi?ronment -his father led a family band. With this tutelage, experience and early exposure to local greats such as J.J.Johnson and Wes Montgomery, he launched his musical career at the age of twenty. Working in bands led by Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey, Barry Harris, Max Roach, Maynard Ferguson and Thad JonesMel Lewis, Mr. Hampton developed his talents as composer and arranger, and contributed to the repertoires of many of these groups.
In 1962, he formed the Slide Hampton Octet, which included Booker Little, Freddie Hubbard and George Coleman. The group toured extensively, particularly in Europe, and recorded on several labels, including Atlantic and Columbia. From 1964-1967, Hampton served as musical director for various orchestras and artists, at the same time constantly studying to improve his own musicianship.
In 1968, following a European tour with Woody Herman, Mr. Hampton remained abroad, deciding that work and growth opportunities for jazz musicians were greater on the continent There he performed at
major festivals and in clubs, appearing with other American musicians living in Europe -Kenny Clarke, Dexter Gordon, Art Farmer, Kenny Drew and Benny Bailey, among others -and worked on a variety of radio and television projects.
Mr. Hampton returned to the United States in 1977, where he resumed work writ?ing, arranging, performing and teaching. The explosive "Slide Hampton and His World of Trombones," featuring nine trombones and a rhythm section, was regrettably short?lived despite critically-acclaimed recordings
and perfor?mances. He continued to work with quar?tets, quintets and as a soloist, and began to spend increasing time as a teacher. He is one of the most sought-after clini?cians in the jazz community.
In 1988, Hampton became a founding member, feature artist and, a year later, musical director (with Paquito D'Ribera) of Dizzy Gillespie's Grammy Award-winning United Nations Orchestra. He remained with the UN until 1992. In 1990, he collabo?rated with Gillespie as arrangerconductor of the Maestro's first original score for a fea?ture film, The Winter in Lisbon, a masterful but regrettably under-promoted recording.
In 1992, Mr. Hampton was asked to serve as musical director for the year-long "Dizzy's Diamond Jubilee" celebrations hon?oring the Grand Master's 75th birthday year. The JazzMasters evolved from the musicians who performed during the Diamond Jubilee.
According to Stanley Crouch, ". .. Arguably the finest exponent of Johnson's legacy is Slide Hampton, a virtuoso melodist with blues-tinged fire, immaculate intonation and
Slide Hampton
wilting skills reflected in the continuity, variety and drama of his improvisations."
The great saxophonistcomposerarranger Benny Golson, after hearing Hampton and The JazzMasters perform at the Village Vanguard, wrote, "Slide Hampton uses his pen with the skill of a surgeon. His deft arrangements evoke the essence of Dizzy's music. But -in the tradition of Dizzy himself -Mr. Hampton goes a few stations past his intended destination, thus allowing us to hear 2 4 and see into the future."
Tonight's performance marks the debut of Mr. Hampton and the JazzMasters under UMS auspices.
Slide Hampton Talks.About JazzMasters
1. How did JazzMasters come about"
In the late 1980's, I was first a member of and then musical director of Dizzy Gillespie's Grammy-Award winning United Nation Orchestra. That group featured musicians from around the world who had been influ?enced by the music of Dizzy Gillespie. The idea for JazzMasters was developed by Charlie Fishman and myself as an outgrowth of that concept. The JazzMasters has essentially the same number of musicians as the United Nation group and, in fact, many of these players had also played in that group.'
2. Was there any other special significance in the choice of players
All of the musicians of The JazzMasters are stars in their own right. They are great improvisers, skilled bandleaders and experi?enced in ensemble playing. Thus, we have a band full of well-rounded musicians.
3. Are some of the positions on the band inter?changeable
Yes. We've designed this band so that if one player can't make it because of other gigs, or if a particular concert has a particular
need, we can substitute, say, Byron Stripling for Jon Faddis, or Danilo Perez for Hank Jones, and so forth.
4. How is the music for this group chosen The name JazzMasters refers, I guess, not just to the players, but to the jazz composers whose work we choose to play. The first choice--Dizzy--was natural. Most of us had been part of the Diamond Jubilee celebra?tion at The Blue Note in January of 1992 and were, basically, Dizzy's last masterclass. We were playing tribute to him in the last year of his life, and it certainly makes perfect sense to honor one of our greatest geniuses. Beyond Dizzy, we are looking at some of the other important names whose work we want to preserve as well as give a new sense of life to. People like Theolonius Monk, Charlie Parker and John Coltrane come to mind as innovators whose work must be passed on to the generations to come. We are also talking about, for example, writing new arrangements of some of the classic jazz "hits." What we want to do is give everyone in the band the opportunity to write and arrange music we'll enjoy playing.
5. What will make this band different
I think what this band is trying to do, most of all, is renew the emotional and spiritual contact with the audience while retaining high artistic purposes. Our experiences with our Dizzy tribute tells us this can be done. We combine great ensemble playing, artistic arrangements, a solo sense that encourages healthy competition (like the Jazz At The Philharmonic bands of the 1940s and 1950s). Our goal is to get non-jazz people involved in the thrill of the music. Dizzy did it. . .and we've seen that we can do it, too. Dizzy showed us a lot--about freedom, about spiritual purposes outside of music theory, and, like Duke Ellington, about the variety of individual sounds that make up a band. In our band, the older guys and the younger players both understand this.

Grand Concerto in D Major, Op. 6., No. 5 (HWV323)
(London, September-October 1739)
George Frideric Handel
Born February 25, 1685 in Halle
Died April 14, 1759 in London
In the 1730's, Handel -hitherto known principally as an opera composer -under?took his first major publishing foray into the area of instrumental music. London's public had recently developed a taste for the concerti grossi -or "orchestral concertos" -of the Italian masters Corelli and Geminiani. And as Handel, already himself an established London celebrity, had known and worked with Corelli in Rome many years before, he was obviously in a good position to take advantage of this burgeoning market. Handel's response to the challenge of the "concerto" took two basic forms. One centered on the novel idea of featuring a keyboard instrument (organ or harpsichord) as the soloist in an orchestral concerto (a role hitherto almost monopolized by the violin). The other was exemplified in the twelve "Grand Concertos," Op. 6 (the title was Handel's own Anglicization of concerti grossi), in which he followed the Italian Corelli's example in scoring the works for a string band in which two or three players (two violins and occasionally a cello) operate as a solo group (concertino), as well as acting as leaders within the full band (concertogrosso). From Corelli Handel also borrowed the pattern of making his concertos out of four or five movements, rather than three (which was the usual practice of the Venetian master Vivaldi). However, Handel's individual movements -grand graves and fast fugues, dance pieces such as minuets, and soulful largos -were not only more self-contained than Corelli's, but often considerably longer in playing time.
The D Major concerto, the fifth of the set, is a particularly brilliant work. In its
concerto form, it was finished on October 10, 1739. However, the first two movements were complete by September 15, when Handel used them as the overture to his Ode to St. Cecilia's Day (hwv 76). They were probably first heard in this form, some months before they found their way into print in the Concerto, at the first performance of the Ode on November 22 that year.

String Sinfonia in A Major,
H660 (Wq 182 No. 4) (Hamburg, 1773)
Carl Philipp Emmanuel Bach Born March 8, ly 14 in Weimar Died December 14, 1 j88 in Hamburg
In the 1170's an English critic described German music as "rough, bold, and grand." But, for one German, Emmanuel Bach, it was frequently not "bold" enough. In the face of frequent complaints about the difficulty of his music, one of which noted its "singular taste, verging on the bizarre," he complained that he was continually required to "add more sugar" when composing for "general consumption."
However, this was not the case in 1773, when Bach was given an extraordinary com?mission: to write a set of symphonies for strings in which he was actually required to "give himself free reign, without regard to difficulty." The Sinfonia in A Major is the fourth of these works composed for Baron Gottfried van Swieten, a discerning music lover who later in life was also a patron of Mozart and Haydn. Bach's "singular taste" can be appreciated from the first movement, with its succession of disparate, contrasting themes, which Bach nevertheless manages to weld together into an interesting, if indi?vidual, design.
Note by Graeme Skinner.
Horn Concerto No. i in D,
H.VIId:3
Franz Joseph Haydn
Born circa March 31, 1732 in
Rohran, Loiuer Austria Died May 31, i8og in Vienna
The only indisputably authentic horn concerto of Haydn to come down to us is an early work, dated 1762 on the autograph score, which still exists, remarkably, in the library of the Society of the Friends of Music, Vienna. It was only the previous year that the young composer had entered the service of the Esterhazy court, at Eisenstadt. He was nominally assistant Kapellmeister to the aging Gregor Werner, though he already bore the brunt of the day-to-day music-making and administration, and would eventually succeed Werner on the latter's death in 1766.
Haydn's first duties had been to engage several new musicians and reorganize the princely orchestra. He was more than willing to compose works which would display his musicians' soloistic talents -not only the three "program" symphonies Le Matin, Le Midi, and Le Soir (Nos. 6-8, of 1761) but concertos as well. Some of these works, being largely favors to the musicians rather than princely requirements, doubtless caused Haydn to burn the midnight oil.
We do not know for whom Haydn com?posed this horn concerto of 1762, though logic would suggest it to have been Johannes Knoblauch, first horn of the princely orchestra from 1761 until his death in 1765. It is hard to imagine Haydn, in those busy early years establishing himself at the Esterhazy court, finding time to write a concerto for anyone else. Nevertheless, H.C. Robbins Landon indulges in a charming speculation that the recipient could have been none other that the virtuoso Joseph Leutgeb, a mutual friend of Haydn and Mozart (for whom
Mozart later composed his own magnificent horn concertos), and that it could have been a gift for the birth of Leutgeb's daughter.
Whomever the concerto was written for, the work demands state-of-the-art technical prowess on the primitive, valveless hunting-horns of the day. (Knoblauch is listed in the court paysheets as "Waldhornist" and Haydn, too, inscribes his score "Concerto per il Corno da Cacda.") Although there was still little use of the new technique of hand-stopping-which increased the instrument's limited scale by inserting a hand into the bell to lower fundamental notes by a tone or a semitone-Haydn nevertheless expects this sort of virtuosity from his soloist. The instrument remained limited, even when hand-stopped, and Haydn skillfully shapes his melodies to mask its shortcomings, giving the soloist a splendid display of acrobatics which seems completely inherent in the design.
The horn greatly interested Haydn throughout his life, both as a solo and orchestra instrument. He composed at least one other horn concerto (in D, which is lost); another, known as No. 2, is attributed to him, though on no reliable evidence. He also wrote a concerto for a pair of horns (still lost, despite the appearance in recent years of a work appearing to match its descrip?tion which cannot, however, be Haydn's).
Haydn made unique fanfare-like use of horns pitched in high C, no doubt primarily as a trumpet-substitute, in numerous "festive" symphonies such as Nos. 48 (Maria Theresia), 50 and 56. Yet as early as the present concerto of 1762 we find him exploiting the modern cantabile qualities of the instrument, in its burnished middle and lower registers, pre?saging its romantic use by such composers as Weber.
During a few brief periods when Haydn enjoyed the luxury of four horn-players in the Esterhazy orchestra he used them to brilliant effect. This culminated in the famous Hornsignal Symphony (No. 31, of
1765)' though its predecessors, probably all from 1763, are far from negligible-symphonies 13 and 72 as well as a cassation for four horns and strings unlisted in the Hoboken catalogue. There are also virtuoso demands in the E-flat Horn Trio (1767) and the extraordinary terzetto "Pieta di me" which we know from Haydn's London period (1791-95) though it may have been written earlier; this latter employs two sopranos and tenor plus orchestra with an almost stratos?pheric horn obligato.
In the Horn Concerto No. 1, the two Allegro movements present the horn chiefly in its hunting character, with splendid fanfare writing. The opening movement grows out of nothing more than a two-octave excursion up and down the chord of D Major, while the finale--which demands considerable agility-demonstrates a succession of florid trills and semiquaver runs. The contemplative central Adagio exploits the upper and lower reaches of the instrument's range, and achieve a long-breathed singing quality by tying much of the solo writing across bar-lines. Romantic harmonies in the lower strings enhance the darker, more "modern" character of the horn in this movement.
As testament to the taxing pressures of life in those early Esterhazy years, the last page of Haydn's score betrays the composer, probably working late at night to finish the job, mixing up the violin and oboe staves. Apologetically in the margin he notes: "Written in my sleep."

Strung Out (1987-88)
Roger SmalUy Born in 1943
My first idea for this piece was a vision of the seating arrangement of the players -a symmetrical formation of four violins, viola, cello, double bass, cello, viola and the remaining four violins, "strung-out" across the stage in a straight line (rather than the usual semi-circle).
The entire structure of the work is a consequence of this layout, particularly the subdivision of the players into groups of two, three, four and six (with the double bass occupying a pivotal position), and the movement of sound across the stage.
The form consists of the alternation of two basic types of material--slow and static versus fast and active--which are boldly juxtaposed at the very beginning. This struc?ture might be likened to a series of beads of differing sizes, shapes and colors--"strung-out" on a thread at varying distances apart.
As the piece progresses each type of material gradually takes on characteristics of its opposite. Halfway through, the two types have become identical. This point is marked by a long pizzicato passage. By the end they have completely changed places. This entire process takes about fourteen minutes.
Strung-Out was commissioned by the Music Department of the University of Western Australia as part of the University's 75th Anniversary celebrations in 1988. It was first performed by the Soloists of Australia during the 1988 Festival of Perth and is dedicated to David Blenkimsop, who has been a staunch supporter of my music during his years as Director of the Festival.

Sonata for Strings (1971)
Arranged by the composer from his String Quartet in a minor
William Walton
Born March 29, 1902 in Oldham, Lancashire
Died March 8, 1983 in Ischia, Italy
Walton spent the Second World War working as a composer of film music. Propaganda films demanded most of his attention, but he also had time to score such classics as the 1942 Macbeth and the 1944 Henry Vwith Laurence Olivier. Unfortunately, Walton discovered that the techniques he used in film music were not automatically applicable when it came to more abstract pieces, and when in 1945 he returned to work on a new string quartet (his second), he found the task surprisingly hard going. In a letter of January that year he complained: "I'm in a suicidal struggle with the four strings and I am making no headway whatever. Brick walls, slit trenches, Siegfried Lines brisde as never before. I'm afraid I've done film music for too long!" Work on the Quartet came to a standstill during the last months of the War, and it was only during peace time that Walton returned to complete it. He dedicated the Quartet in gratitude to Ernest Irving, one of the conductors of his wartime film scores, and it was first performed in May 1947. In 1970 Neville Marriner, director of the Academy of Sl Martin in the Fields, unsuccess?fully tried to get the then elderly Walton to write a new work for the string orchestra. Until then, Walton's total contribution to the string orchestra repertoire consisted of two short pieces from the film Henry V, and a single movement for the 1953 Aldenburgh Festival (other contributors to this joint set of Variations on an Elizabethan Theme included Benjamin Britten, Tippett and Lennox Berkely). Walton's stated 1956 plan to write a "Sonata for Strings, for no one in particular"
had been long forgotten. Facing a blank refusal from Walton, Marriner then suggested a less troublesome task, an orchestra arrangement of the 1947 String Quartet. To this the composer assented, aware however "that critics and others will ask why I can't write something new instead of rehashing and old quartet--in fact, I'd like to know, too. But I'm not going to!" When Marriner also asked him to shorten the first movement, Walton was ambivalent, "I said that I'd do that but I've been through it time and time again, and I've found it impossible without its sounding castrated, had its stomach out, with hysterectomy thrown in." Nevertheless, he did manage to excise up to thirty-three bars of the original, slightly recasting what remained. He also found a repeat in the sec?ond movement "which is easily removed and is the better for it." The Sonata for Strings (as the version was to be called) received its world premiere in Perth in March 1972 dur?ing an Australian tour by the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields.
Writing earlier, Walton had commented that the new version might still "have a solo string quartet in it, as in the Introduction and Allegro of Elgar." And it was with this in mind that he started the Sonata exactly as in the original quartet, with four solo strings. Only later does the remainder of the string band enter, and thereafter solo strings con?tinue to appear within the full string texture. However, as an orchestral experience the Sonata comes into its own in the busy central fugue, and the building climax of fast vaulting phrases is extraordinarily strengthened by use of so many strings.
The second movement, "Presto," is a skittish mid-twentieth century counterpart of one of Mendelssohn's featherweight scherzos. Repeated scrubbing on a single note by one or other of the instrumental sections binds together the movement's phrases, but the music still sounds as if it is constandy on the verge of evaporating into
mist. This it literally does, making way for its slower, heavier counterpart, the third move?ment "Lento." Finally the "Allegro molto" (arranged with the help of Walton's friend and fellow composer, Malcolm Arnold) is a shorter, more muscular return of the mood of the opening.

""? arry Tuckwell's multi-
A faceted musical careei as B soloist, chamber musician
P. and conductor has taken him .ill ovei the world. The K Australian-born virtuoso Ebmr is the world's mosl recorded French horn player and the only player ever to have established a career exclu?sively as a soloist. During his orchestral playing career, he held the prestigious first horn chair of the London Symphony Orchestra for thirteen years and was Chairman of the orchestra's Board of Directors for the final six.
He has recorded more works than any other horn player and has received three Grammy Nominations. More than twenty works have been composed especially for him. In October 1994, Barry Tuckwell performed the world premiere of Oliver Knussen's con?certo in England and will give the American premiere with the Cleveland Orchestra in November. Other leading contemporary composers who have written works for Mr. Tuckwell include Richard Rodney Bennett, Iain Hamilton, Alun Hoddinott, Robin Holloway, Thea Musgrave and Gunther Schuller.
Mr. Tuckwell is also a distinguished con?ductor, leading the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra for four years, serving as Guest Conductor of the Northern Sinfonia of England since 1993, and as Founding Music Director of the Maryland Symphony Orchestra, which he has conducted since 1982.
In 1992, Mr. Tuckwell received Australia's highest award, The Companion of the Order of Australia, and most recently was awarded Doctor of Music, University of Sydney. Among his other honors, he is an Officer of The Order of the British Empire, Honorary Member of the Royal Academy of Music and Honorary Member of the Guildhall School of Music. Mr. Tuckwell became a permanent resident of the United States in 1992. He and his wife reside in Maryland.
This evening marks Mr. Tuck-well's debut performance under UMS auspices.
?? irector and violinist k Richard Tognetti was A born in (lanberra and
I studied at the New V South Wales J (lonservatoi ium "1 bHmi Music with ln c Waten and the Berne Conservatory with Igor Ozim. He took up the position of Director of the Australian Chamber Orchestra in 1989. Since assuming the role, Tognetti's leadership has instilled in the Orchestra's playing a new life and vitality.. Over the past few years Tognetti
Barrv Tuckwell
and the orchestra have consistently challenged people's perceptions as to what a small orchestra and its players are really about.
Tognetti has been widely acclaimed for his sensitive direction and innovative interpretation and for his ability to elicit a distinctive string sound which is both brilliant and hard-edged and sweet and ethereal. He has developed a keen sensibility for the per?formance of music on modern and original instruments with the searching attitudes cultivated by the experimental pioneering of early music performers. His aim has been to take these concepts through the whole repertoire from CPE Bach and Paganini to Janacek and Sculthorpe.
Tognetti performs on a 1724 Gagliano violin using raw gut on the two middle strings.
In conjunction with wine maker Bob Roberts, Tognetti is the Artistic Director of the annual Huntington Festival held in the Huntington Winery at Mudgee, a country town northwest of Sydney. This festival is highly regarded for its singular approach to programming and presentation and is instantly booked out each year before pro?grams and guest artists are announced.
Tognetti has directed the ACO and appeared as soloist on eight international tours, covering some seventeen countries. Amongst the highlights have been the Orchestra's concert for the Musikverein's International Chamber Orchestra Series, the BBC Proms at Royal Albert Hall, the Concertgebouw Summer Festival and the ACO's debut performances at Carnegie Hall and the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires.
Tognetti has directed the ACO on four recordings for Sony Music. The first of these recordings won the Australian Record Industry Award for the best classical album in 1992 and the following two were both nominated for the 1993 Award.
This evening's concert marks Mr. Tognetti's UMS debut.
Founded in 1975, the Australian Chamber Orchestra is Australia's only, national orchestra with an international reputation for artistic excellence. The orch?estra consists of a core of seventeen string players drawn from some of the finest young musicians in Australia, and is augmented by special players and soloists.
The Orchestra's national program of activities is extensive and includes a highly regarded subscription series in every state capital and Canberra, as well as performances in regional centers on a regular basis. The ACO is probably Australia's most widely traveled cultural organization. Plans now extend to the year 2000 with return visits to the United States, Europe, and Asia already scheduled. This provides an ongoing vehicle for the orchestra role as a major cultural ambassador for Australia.
In 1992 the Australian Chamber Orchestra's Asian tour involved eight cities and included a performance in Bangkok in the presence of the royal family of Thailand. This successful tour resulted in the immediate invitations to return, which the orchestra will do in 1996. The 1992 tour to China was at the invitation of the Department of Foreign Affairs in the guise of the Australian-China Council. The orchestra's performances were Australia's "gift" to China in recognition of twenty years of diplomatic relations.
The ACO has earned a strong interna?tional reputation for its recordings. There are thirteen compact disc releases currently in the catalog, as well as numerous earlier recordings on LP and cassette. In 1991, the ACO signed a seven-year contract with Sony Music. The first CD, released in igg2, broke classical music sales records for an Australian ensemble as well as winning the Australian Record Industry Award (ARIA) for the Best Australian Classical Album in 1992.
Over the years the ACO has worked with some of the world's most distinguished conductors including Sir Neville Marriner, Sir David Willcocks, Sir Charles Mackerras, Frans Bruggen, and Christopher Hogwood. Under Tognetti's direction, the Orchestra has reached new artistic heights and has attracted some of the world's leading soloists including internationally acclaimed Australian
sopranos Yvonne Kenny and Joan Carden, British cellist Julian Lloyd Webber, pianists Paul Badura-Skoda and Jean-Yves Thibaudet, French horn virtuoso Barry Tuckwell and harpsichordist Ton Koopman.
Tonight's performance marks the UMS debut of the Australian Chamber Orchestra.

The Master Musicians of Jajouka, an aristocratic tribe of royal pipers hidden in the mountains of North Africa, have lived peacefully for centuries playing their entrancing music for the sultans of Morocco and keeping secret Arcadian rituals alive in their remote village. Jajouka isn't on any map; its many legends originate from pilgrimages to the old village perched above the long valley in the blue Djebala foothills of the Rif Mountains in northern Morocco. After visitors returned home from their journeys, they began to tell stories of the ancient village and music they discovered there.
The Master Musicians of Jajouka have their own stories preserved in the folklore of their clans. At night, around blazing fires, the people of Ahl Sherif--'The Saintly"-tell their children how Bou Jeloud came down the mountain to dance with them and bless their village.
They tell of their ancestor, Attar, whose forefathers had come from the East to con?quer and settle the wild Berber mountains. Like his cousins and uncles, Attar was a goat herder who prospered amidst Jajouka's highland pastures and abundant water. One day, while grazing his flocks on the side of Owl Mountain, his lead goat wandered into a forest cave. Attar heard the most beautiful sound he had ever heard--music. This music flowed from the mouth of Bou Jeloud, later known to the Jajoukan villagers as Father of the Flocks and Master of the Skins. Attar was frightened upon seeing this half man-half goat but was soothed when the creature produced a bamboo stick with holes and began to play again. Attar loved this music with all his heart. Thus began the tradition of the music of Jajouka which has been handed down from father to son for thousands of years.
In the 1950's, word began to spread of the Master Musicians of Jajouka's extraordi-
nary gift when the post war expatriates (such as William Burroughs, Paul Bowles, and Brian Gysin) "discovered" them. In the 1960's and 1970's, Western rock and jazz musicians made pilgrimages to Jajouka. They were followed by a colorful parade of those seeking to travel back in time to discover the old gods present in Jajouka's folklore. Contact with the modern world brought new dangers to the tribe and now centuries of harmony are challenged. The Western influence infil?trated the culture, leaving only the two youngest Attars to carry on the legacy of Jajouka. The legend states that when the music of Jajouka ends --so ends the world! This tour represents the first time that The Master Musicians of Jajouka have been to the United States. The group features Bachir Attar and brother, Mustapha, who are direct descendants of the Attar family and are the last continuing Attar musicians. It is the wish of Bachir and the rest of the Jajoukans that tonight, as you watch the performance, you will experience the meaning of the word Jajouka and "some?thing good will come to you."
Tonight marks the UMS debut performance by the Master Musicians of Jajouka.

New Year's Sacrifice
Based on the short story by Lu Xun Libretto by Jiang Zuhui, Liu Tingyu,
Chen Minfan andjian Weihao Music by Liu Tingyu Choreography by Jiang Zuhui Costumes by Li Keyu, Peng Yufei Scenery by Zheng Yueyang
First performed by the Central Ballet of China on September 30, ig8o
New Year's Sacrifice depicts the tragic lot of Chinese women in the old feudal society. The ballet concerns the widow of Xiang Lin, who has been sold in marriage by her greedy mother-in-law.
The young farmer He Laoliu prepares his home for his impending wedding. Family and friends assemble, and in anticipation of the marriage, they entertain the husband-to-be with traditional Chinese folk dances.
The bride arrives, carried in a sedan chair. She is in deep mourning, signified by her white clothes, but wears the ceremonial bridal veil. Her protests against this forced marriage are evident when her veils are removed, revealing that she is bound and gagged.
Filled with despair and shame at breaking feudal tradition which forbids a widow to remarry, she attempts suicide at the wedding ceremony by throwing herself against the corner of a table.
That evening, He Laoliu, who is a kind and caring man, attempts to treat her wounds with herbal medicines as she sleeps. Awakening, she struggles to escape, and He Laoliu tries to dissuade her from leaving. His honest concern eventually touches her, and she begins to trust him. That trust soon grows into love.
As a sign of her transformation, she
replaces the white flower of mourning in her hair with a red flower of jubilation. She and He Laoliu are truly united in wedlock.
Pas de Quatre
Ballet Divertissement
Music by Cesare Pugni
Choreography by Anton Dolin after Jules Perrot
39
First Production July 12, 1845 in London
In 1845, Benjamin Lumley, manager of Her Majesty's Theatre in London, had the idea of presenting the four most famous ballerinas of the time together in the same work. Lumley then commissioned Jules Perrot to choreograph such a work for Marie Taglioni, Carlotta Grisi, Fanny Cerrito, and Lucile Grahn. Cesare Pugni, composer for the scores of over 300 ballets, was assigned to write the music, and thus pas de quatre had its premiere at Her Majesty's Theatre on July 12, 1845 between the acts of Donizetti's opera Anna Bolena.
The ballet served to demonstrate the most favorable aspects of each of the original performers, and yet it has been revived and restaged continuously, since 1847, when the part created by Grahn was handed over to Carolina Rosati. Maria Taglioni also staged a version of the ballet at La Scala in Milan in 1846 featuring herself, Sofia Fuoco, Carolina Galetti (i.e. Rosati), and C. Vente. In 1936, Keith Lester reconstructed the pas de quatre for the Markova-Dolin Ballet with Molly Lake, Diana Gould, Prudence Hayman, and Kathleen Crofton. Sir Anton Dolin staged it for Ballet Theater in 1941, with Nana Gollner, Nina Stroganova, Alicia Alonso, and Sergava. The Dolin version has been revived by many companies, including the Kirov Ballet in 1966, and is the version danced by the Central Ballet of China since 1983.
Before The Wedding Chamber
Traditional Chinese music Choreography by Norman Walker
Before the Wedding Chamber is a ballet choreographed by American Norman Walker set to two pieces of music from the traditional Chinese work "Chimes." Visiting China in January of 1990, Walker created this work for the Central Ballet, who refer to it as The Chinese Wedding Chamber in the Eyes of an American." A favorite work of the company, it has been performed frequently in many Chinese cities and abroad.
Don Quixote (Act III)
Music by Leon Minkus Choreography by Rudolf Nureyev after Marius Petipa
Adapted from scenes in Cervantes' epic novel, Marius Petipa's full length ballet was created for the Bolshoi in 1869. It was later revised notably by Alexander Gorsky in 1900 and again by Rostislav Zakharov in 1940, and it remains one of the most popular ballets in the classical Russian repertory. The story follows the Knight, Don Quixote and his squire Sancho Panza, and Basil, a barber, who is in love with an innkeeper's daughter, Kitri. Through many adventures, Don Quixote is forever imagining that he must heroically rescue his Dulcinea, the woman of his dreams. The "Gypsy Dance" is from the second scene in Act II: Don Quixote and Sancho come across a Gypsy camp where celebrations culminate in a command performance of a puppet theater. Watching the play, Don Quixote mistakes the heroine for Dulcinea, and seeing her under attack, rises to assault the puppet stage. The grand pas de deux is
from the final Act during fiesta time: amidst much dancing, the Don thinks that he recognizes his Dulcinea in a girl who is being carried off by mysterious figures guarded by a strange knight. The Knight challenges the Don to a duel and our hero is soon vanquished. His opponent, removing his disguise, reveals himself as Basil the Barber. Kitri and Basil then celebrate their betrothal in the grand pas de deux.
Rudolf Nureyev personally staged his pro?duction of Don Quixote in China with the Central Ballet of China in October 1985.

Giselle (Act II)
Choreography by Jules Perrot and Sean Coralli Libretto by Vernoy de Saint-Georges, Theophile Gautier and Jean Coralli
Giselle is one of the masterpieces of the French Romantic theater. It was the brain?child of Theophile Gautier, poet, theatre critic, novelist, and one of the band of enthusiastic young writers who basked in the glory of Victor Hugo. The first seed of Giselle had been sown quite by chance as Gautier was thumbing through a book by the German poet Heinrich Heine, Del'Allemagne. In it the author tells of the legends of the elemental spirits that are rife in German folklore. Gautier's imagination was caught by an account of the Slavonic tale of the Wilis-spirits of girls who have died before their wedding day. These Wilis, carrying their mania for the dance beyond the grave, ensnare in their fatal round unwary travelers crossing the forest glades they haunt during die hours of darkness. A subsidiary source of inspiration was a sequence of verses by Victor Hugo, entitled Fantomes, in which the poet dwells on the cruel destiny that strikes
down young girls in the flower of their beauty. Hugo describes in particular, the fate of a young Spanish beauty who loved dancing to excess and died at daybreak after a night of frenzied dancing at a ball.
In an initial burst of enthusiasm, Gautier wrote down the tide for a ballet, Les Wilis, on a clean sheet of paper, but then, as if sensing the impossibility of realizing such a romantic idea on the stage, threw it into the wastepaper basket. But the idea persisted, and that same evening, meeting the dramatist Saint-Georges at the Opera, he broached it as a possible subject for a ballet. In no time the two men came to an understanding that they would work on it together. We can only guess at the method of their collaboration. Undoubtedly the basic idea was Gautier's but it was probably Saint-Georges who fashioned it into a scenario for a ballet.
Giselle is a village maiden who is courted by a handsome stranger, known to her only by the name of Loys. But Loys is the young Duke Albrecht in disguise: This deceit is dis?covered by a woodsman, Hilarion, the rejected suitor of Giselle, who finds the Duke's sword and cloak hidden in his hut. A hunting party stops to partake of refreshment, and among them is the Princess Bethilde, to whom Albrecht is betrothed. Hilarion seizes the chance to unmask his rival. The shock is so great that Giselle's reason gives way and she dies of a broken heart. In the second act, set in a moonlit glade in the depths of the forest, the spirit of Giselle is admitted into the band of the Wilis, and is commanded by their Queen to lure Albrecht into their fatal round. A bitter struggle ensues, between the cruel and inex?orable power of the Queen of the Wilis and the pure love that still flickers in Giselle's heart. At last, when at the very brink of exhaustion, Albrecht is saved by the break of day. The shade of Giselle disappears forever beneath a bed of flowers.
The Central Ballet of China's production of Giselle was premiered in Beijing on June 13, 1980.
The Red Detachment of Women
Full-length ballet in two acts.
Adapted from the film of the same title
by Liangxin Music by Wu Zuqiang, Wang Yanqiao and
Du Mingxin "Song of the Detachment of Women " written
by Huang Zun Choreography by Jiang Zuhui and
Li Chengxiang
The ballet takes place during the ten-year civil war on Hainan Island. Qpnghua, a daughter of a poor peasant, is imprisoned by the despotic landlord Nabatian, who orders his lackey Laosi to sell her. The ballet opens with Qonghua's escape from her cap?tivity.
Act I
Late at night. Black coconut palms.
Qpnghua is fighting with her captors but is beaten savagely and falls onto the ground. Suddenly it begins to storm heavily. Nabatian abandons Qonghua and leaves her for dead with his lackeys. Hong Changqing, a Red Army cadre, and the messenger, Xiao Pang, go on a reconnaissance mission by the coconut palm woods and save Qonghua. After inquiring about her life, they lead her to the Red Army camp.
Act II
One morning several days later.
On a square in the Red base area, under a clear sky and colorful banners, soldiers and farmers are celebrating the foundation of the Red Detachment of Women.
Going through hardships and difficulties, Qonghua hurries to the celebration, and is warmly welcomed. Deeply moved, she con?demns the crimes committed by Nabatian.
People are filled with fury. Hong Changqing, the Party representative of the Detachment of Women, instructs the people to take up arms, follow the Party, carry out revolution and fight for liberation. The commander gives a gun to Qonghua who joins the army to avenge her captors and fight for the liber?ation of the country.
The Red Detachment of Women was premiered by the Central Ballet of China on September 26, 1964.
The Central Ballet of China, the sole Beijing-based national ballet company of China, was founded in 1959. Most of its dancers graduated from the Beijing Dance Academy. In its early days, the company received much of its training from the Soviet choreographer Pyotr Gusev. After a four-year affiliation with the Beijing Dance School, the company became an indepen?dent performing organization in 1963.
The Chinese government considers the Central Ballet of China a cultural treasure. At the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, the company often entertains honorable foreign guests who heartily applaud the Central Ballet. To better patronize the company, the Chinese government subsidized the Ballet in 1962 and built six big studios, an auditorium with a music recording studio, costume and set workshops and an adminis?tration building, covering a total area of more than 10,000 square meters. By 1980, it had become the biggest ballet company ever in China, with dozens of classically trained dancers, a well equipped Central Ballet Symphony Orchestra and a large professional stage staff.
Under the leadership and patronage of the government over the past 34 years, a good number of world class dancers have emerged from the company on to the world ballet stage; many of them have been awarded medals at major international ballet compe?titions. From the founding generation in 1959 to the current directors, company choreographers, along with resident com?posers and designers all strive to create a ballet style which is uniquely Chinese.
The company's classical and contempo?rary Western repertoire includes Stuan Lake, Giselle, Ije Corsaire, La Fille Mai Garde.e, The

Thousands of school children annually attend UMS concerts as part of the UMS Youth Program, which began in the 19891 ggo season 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 seventh year under the Education and Audience Development Department, the UMS Youth Program continues to expand, with performances by the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater for middle and high school students, two opera performances for fourth graders by the New York City Opera National Company, a performance by Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra Nonet, in-school workshops with a variety of other artists, as well as discounted tickets to every concert in the UMS season.
As part of its Ann Arbor residency, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater will present a special youth program to middle and high school students, and a family performance, both on March ig, 1996.
On Friday February 24, 1996, 2700 fourth-graders will visit the Power Center for abbreviated one-hour performances of Verdi's La Traviata. 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.
On January 31, 1996, Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra Nonet will perform a special youth performance at the Michigan Theater.
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.
