University Musical
OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, ANN ARBOR
Dear Friends,
Thanks for coming to this performance and for supporting the University Musical Society by being a member of the audience.
The relationship between the audience and a presenting organization like UMS is a special one, and we are gratified that an ever expand?ing and increasingly diverse audience is attend?ing UMS events. Last season, more than 120,000 people attended UMS performances and relat?ed events.
Relationships are what the performing arts are all about. Whether on a ride to the airport with Jessye Norman, enjoying sushi with Wynton Marsalis, visiting Dascola Barbers with Cecilia Bartoli, searching for antiquarian books with Andre Previn or escorting the Uptown String Quartet to Pioneer and Huron High Schools, each of these personal connections with artists enables us to get to know each other better, to brainstorm future projects and to deepen the special relationships between these artists, UMS and the Ann Arbor community.
Our outstanding Board of Directors offers unique knowledge, experience and perspective as well as a shared commitment to assuring the present and future success of UMS. What a privilege it is to work with a group of people whose vision of UMS is to make it the very best of its kind in the world. I especially want to thank Herbert Amster, who completed three years as Board President in December.
That same vision is shared by members of the UMS staff, who this year invite all of the UMS family to celebrate the 25 years box office manager Michael Gowing has served UMS and this community. Michael has established a stan?dard of patron service that we're told is unmatched anywhere else in this business. Look for the acknowledgment in this program book to find out more about Michael and how you can participate in this season-long celebra?tion.
Last year, UMS volunteers contributed more than 38,000 hours to UMS. In addition
to Board members, volunteers include our Advisory Committee, usher corps, UMS Choral Union members and countless others who give of their time and talent to all facets of the UMS program. Thank you, volunteers!
Relationships with professional colleagues around the world are very special. There is a generosity of spirit in performing arts present?ing that I have rarely seen in other fields. We share our best ideas with one another at con?ferences, in publications, by phone and, increasingly, over the internet. Presenters are joining together more and more to commis?sion new works and to assure their presenta?tion, as we've done this season with William Bolcom's Briefly It Enters and Donald Byrd's The Harlem Nutcracker. I'm pleased to report that The Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind, the stir?ring piece we co-commissioned and presented in April 1995 won the prestigious Kennedy Center Friedham Award for composer Osvaldo Golijov last year.
The most important relationship is that with the community, and that means you. I care deeply about building and strengthening these relationships, whether it be with an indi?vidual patron who comes by the office with a program idea, with the leader of a social ser?vice organization who wishes to use one of our events as a fundraiser, with the nearly 40 school districts whose children will participate in our youth program, or with the audience member who buttonholes me in the lobby with a com?plaint.
Thanks again for coming to this event -and please let me hear from you with ideas or suggestions. Look for me in the lobby, or call me at my office at 313.647.1174.
Sincerely,
Kenneth C. Fischer President

University Musical Society
of the University of Michigan
One of the oldest and most respected arts presenters in the country, the University Musical Society is now in its 118th season.
The Musical Society grew from a group of local university and townspeople who gathered together for the study of Handel's Messiah. Led by Professor Henry Frieze and conducted by Professor Calvin Cady, the group assumed the name 'The Choral Union." During the fall and winter of 1879-80 the group rehearsed and gave concerts at local churches. Their first per-
formance of Handel's Messiah was in December of 1879, and this glorious ora?torio has since been per?formed by the UMS Choral Union annually.
As a great number of Choral Union members also belonged to the University, the University Musical Society was estab?lished in December 1880. The Musical Society includ?ed the Choral Union and University Orchestra, and throughout the year pre?sented a series of concerts
featuring local and visiting artists and ensem?bles. Professor Frieze became the first presi?dent of the Society.
Since that first season in 1880, UMS has expanded greatly and now presents the very best from the full spectrum of the performing arts -internationally renowned recitalists and orchestras, dance and chamber ensembles, jazz and world music performers, and opera and theater. Through the Choral Union, Chamber Arts, Jazz Directions, Moving Truths, Divine Expressions, Stage Presence, Six Strings and many other series, the Musical Society now hosts over 75 concerts and more than 150 edu?cational events each season. UMS has flourished
with the support of a generous musicand arts-loving community which gathers in Hill and Rackham Auditoria, the Power Center, the Michigan Theater, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, and the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre experiencing the talents of such artists as the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonic Orchestras, the Martha Graham Dance Company, Jessye Norman, The Stratford Festival, Cecilia Bartoli, Wynton Marsalis, thejuilliard and Guarneri String Quartets, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Ensemble Modern of Frankfurt.
Through educational endeavors, commis?sioning of new works, youth programs, artists' residencies such as those with the Cleveland Orchestra and The Harlem Nutcracker, and other collaborative projects, UMS has maintained its reputation for quality, artistic distinction and innovation.
While proudly affiliated with the University of Michigan, housed on the Ann Arbor cam?pus, and a regular collaborator with many University units, the Musical Society is a sepa?rate not-for-profit organization, which supports itself from ticket sales, corporate and individ?ual contributions, foundation and government grants, and endowment income.
Thomas Sheets conducting Messiah with the UMS Choral Union
UMS Choral Union
Thomas Sheets, conductor
Throughout its 118-year history, the University Musical Society Choral Union has performed with many of the world's distinguished orchestras and conductors.
In its more recent history, the chorus has sung under the direction of Neemejarvi, Kurt Masur, Eugene Ormandy, Robert Shaw, Igor Stravinsky, Andre Previn, Michael Tilson-Thomas, Seiji Ozawa 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.
Based in Ann Arbor under the aegis of the University Musical Society, the 180-voice Choral Union remains best known for its annual per?formances of Handel's Messiah each December. Three years ago, the Choral Union further enriched that tradition when it was appointed resident large chorus of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. In that capacity, the ensemble has joined the orchestra for subscription perfor?mances of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, Orffs Carmina Burana, Ravel's Daphnis et Chfoe and Prokofiev's Aleksandr Nevsky. In 1995, the Choral Union began an artistic association with the Toledo Symphony, inaugurating the partnership with a performance of Britten's War Requiem,
and continuing with performances of the Berlioz Requiem and Bach's Mass in B minor.
In the current season, the UMS Choral Union again expands its scope to include per?formances with a third major regional ensem?ble. In March the chorus makes its debut with the Grand Rapids Symphony, joining with them in a rare presentation of the Symphony No. 8 ("Symphony of a Thousand") by Gustav Mahler. Continuing its association with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, the Choral Union collaborates in January 1997 with Maestro Jarvi and the DSO in performances at Orchestra Hall and in Ann Arbor. This extraordinary season will culminate in a May performance of the Verdi Requiem with the Toledo Symphony.
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 com?mon passion--a love of the choral art.
For information about the UMS Choral Union, please call 313.763.8997.
Auditoria
HILL AUDITORIUM
Standing tall and proud in the heart of the University of Michigan campus, Hill Auditorium is often associated with the best performing artists the world has to offer. Inaugurated at die 20th Annual Ann Arbor May Festival, this impressive structure has served as a showplace for a variety of important debuts and long relationships throughout the past 83 years. With acoustics that highlight everything from the softest high notes of vocal recitalists to the grandeur of the finest orchestras, Hill Auditorium is known and loved throughout the world.
Hill Auditorium is named for former U-M regent Arthur Hill, who bequested $200,000 to the University for the construction of an audito?rium for lectures, concerts and other university events. Then-UMS President Charles Sink raised an additional $150,000, and the .concert hall opened in 1913 widi the Chicago Symphony Orchestra performing the ever-popular Fifth Symphony of Beethoven. The following evening featured Verdi's "Manzoni" Requiem, a work mat has been performed frequently throughout the Musical Society's illustrious history. Among the many artists who have performed on the Hill Auditorium stage are Enrico Caruso (in one of his only solo recitals outside of New York), Ernestine Schumann-Heink, Fritz
Kreisler, Rosa Ponselle, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Jascha Heifetz, Ignacejan Paderewski (who often called Hill Auditorium "the finest music hall in the world"), Paul Robeson, Lily Pons,
Leontyne Price, Marion Anderson and, more recently, Yo-Yo Ma, Cecilia Bartoli, Jessye Norman, Van Cliburn, the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra (in the debut concert of its inaugural tour) and the late Sergiu Celibidache conduct?ing the Munich Philharmonic.
Hill Auditorium seated 4,597 when it first opened; subsequent renovations, which increased the size of the stage to accommodate both an orchestra and a large chorus (1948) and expanded wheelchair seating (1995), decreased the seating capacity to its current 4,163.
The organ pipes above the stage come from the 1894 Chicago Colombian Exposition. Named after the founder of the Musical Society, Henry Simmons Frieze, the organ is used for numerous concerts in Hill throughout the sea?son. Despite many changes in appearance over
Hill Auditoril-
the past century, the organ pipes were restored to their original stenciling, color and layout in 1986.
Hill Auditorium is slated for renovation, with funds currently being raised through the Campaign for Michigan. Developed by Albert Kahn and Associates (architects of the original concert hall), the renovation plans include elevators, expanded bathroom facilities, air conditioning, greater backstage space, artists' dressing rooms, and many other improvements and patron conveniences.
RACKHAM AUDITORIUM
Until the last fifty years, chamber music concerts in Ann Arbor were a relative rarity, presented in an assortment of venues including University Hall (the precursor to Hill Auditorium), Hill Auditorium and the current home of the Kelsey Museum. When Horace H. Rackham, a Detroit lawyer who believed strongly in the importance of studying human history and human thought, died in 1933, his will estab?lished the Horace H. Rackham and Mary A. Rackham Fund. It was this fund which subse?quently awarded the University of Michigan the funds not only to build the Horace H. Rackham Graduate School, but also to estab?lish a $4 million endowment to further the development of graduate studies. Even more remarkable than the size of the gift, which is still considered one of the most ambitious ever given to higher education, is the fact that neither of the Rackhams ever attended the University of Michigan.
Designed by architect William Kapp, Rackham Auditorium was quickly recognized as the ideal venue for chamber music. In 1941, the Musical Society presented its first chamber music festival with the Musical Art Quartet of New York performing three concerts in as many days, and the current Chamber Arts Series was born in 1963. Chamber music audiences and artists alike appreciate the intimacy, beauty and fine acoustics of the 1,129-seat auditorium, which has been the location for hundreds of chamber music concerts throughout the years.
Since 1980, Rackham Auditorium has also been the home for UMS presentations of the Michigan Chamber Players, a group of faculty artists who perform twice annually in free con?certs open to the public.
POWER CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS
Celebrating twenty-five years of wonderful arts presentation, the Power Center for the Performing Arts was originally bred from a realization that the University of Michigan had no adequate theatre for the performing arts. Hill Auditorium was too massive and technically limited for most productions, and the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre too small. The Power Center was designed to supply this missing link in design and seating capacity.
In 1963, Eugene and Sadye Power and their son, Philip, wished to make a major gift to the University, and in the midst of a list of University priorities was mentioned "a new theatre." The Powers were immediately interested, realizing that state and federal government were unlikely to provide financial support for the construction of a new theatre. In the interest of including a wide range of the performing arts and humani?ties, the idea for the Power Center for the Performing Arts was born.
Opening in 1971 with the world premiere of The Grass Harp (based on the novel by Truman Capote), the Power Center achieves the seemingly contradictory combination of providing a soaring interior space with a unique level of intimacy. Architectural features include the two large spiral staircases leading
Rackham auditorium
Auditoria, continued
from the orchestra level to the balcony and the well-known mirrored glass pan?els on the exterior. No seat in the Power Center is more than 72 feet from the stage. In 1981, a 28,000 square-foot addition was com?pleted, providing rehearsal rooms, shops for building sets and costumes, a green room and
office space. At the same time, the eminent British sculptor John W. Mills was commis?sioned to sculpt portrait bronzes of Eugene and Sadye Power, which currently overlook the lobby. In addition to the portrait bronzes, the lobby of the Power Center features two handwoven wool tapestries: Modern Tapestry by Roy Lichtenstein and Volutes by Pablo Picasso. The University Musical Society has been an active presenter in the Power Center for the Performing Arts from its very beginnings, bringing a variety of artists and art forms to perform on the stage. In addition to presenting artists in performance, UMS has used the Power Center for many educational activities, includ?ing youth performances and master classes.
THE MICHIGAN THEATER
The historic Michigan Theater opened January 5, 1928 at the peak of the vaudevillemovie palace era. Designed by Maurice Finkel, the Theater cost around $600,000 when it was first built. The gracious facade and beautiful interior housed not only the theater, but nine stores, offices on the second floor and bowling alleys running the length of the basement. As was the custom of the day, the Theater was equipped to host both film and live 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" replaced silent films just one year after the Theater opened, and
POWER CENTER
vaudeville soon disappeared from the stage. As Theater attendance dwindled in the 1950s, the interior and exterior of the building were both modernized, with much of the intricate plaster work covered with aluminum, polished marble and a false ceiling.
Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the 1,710-seat theater struggled against changes in the film industry, and the owners put the Theater up for sale, threatening its very existence. The non-profit Michigan Theater Foundation, a newly-founded group dedicated to preserving the facility, stepped in to operate the failing movie house in 1979.
After a partial renovation in 1986 which restored the Theater's auditorium and Grand Foyer to its 1920s-era movie palace grandeur, the Theater has become Ann Arbor's home of quality cinema as well as a popular venue for the performing arts. Further restoration of the balcony, outer lobby and facade are planned in coming years.
The University Musical Society first began presenting artists at the Michigan Theater dur?ing the 199495 season, along with occasional film partnerships to accompany presentations in other venues. The Theater's acoustics, rich interiors and technical capabilities make it a natural setting for period pieces and mixed media projects alike. In addition to sponsoring a Twyla Tharp Film Series last fall (September 29-October 20, 1996), UMS presents four events at the Michigan Theater in 199697: Guitar Summit III (November 16); The Real Group (February 8); Voices of Light: 'The Passion of Joan of Arc," a silent film with live music featur?ing Anonymous 4 (February 16); and The Russian Village (April 11).
ST. FRANCIS OF ASS1SI CATHOLIC CHURCH
In June 1950, Father Leon Kennedy was appointed pastor of a new parish in Ann Arbor. Seventeen years later ground was broken to build a permanent church building, and on March 19, 1969 John Cardinal Dearden dedi?cated the new St. Francis of Assisi Church. Father Charles E. Irvin was appointed pastor in June 1987.
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church has
grown from 248 families when it first started to more than 2,800 today. The present church seats 800 people and has free parking. In 1994 St. Francis purchased a splendid three-manual "mechanical action" organ with 34 stops and 45 ranks, built and installed by Orgues Letourneau from Saint Hyacinthe, Quebec. Through dedi?cation, a commitment to superb liturgical music and a vision to the future, the parish improved the acoustics of the church building, and the reverberant sanctuary has made the church a fabulous venue for presenting a cappella choral music and early music ensembles. During the 199697 season, UMS presents four concerts at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church: Quink (October 27), Chanticleer (December 4), Chorovaya Akademia (March 15) and the Huelgas Ensemble (April 10).
LYDIA MENDELSSOHN THEATRE
Notwithstanding an isolated effort to establish a chamber music series by faculty and students in 1938, UMS most recently began presenting
Auditoria, continued
artists in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre in 1993, when Eartha Kitt and Barbara Cook graced the stage of the intimate 658-seat theatre for the 100th May Festival's Cabaret Ball. Now, with a new programmatic initiative to present song recitals in a more appropriate and intimate venue, the Mendelssohn Theatre has become the latest venue addition to the Musical Society's roster.
Allen Pond & Pond, Martin & Lloyd, a Chicago architectural firm, designed the Mendelssohn Theatre, which is housed in the Michigan League. It opened on May 4, 1929 with an original equipment cost of $36,419, and received a major facelift in 1979. In 1995, the proscenium curtain was replaced, new carpeting installed, and the seats refurbished.
During the 1930s through the 1950s, Mendelssohn Theatre was home to a five-week Spring Drama Festival, which featured the likes of Hume Cronin, Jessica Tandy, Katharine Cornell, Burgess Meredith and Barbara Bel Geddes. Arthur Miller staged early plays at Mendelssohn Theatre while attending U-M in the early 1930s, and from 1962 through 1971, the University's Professional Theatre Program staged many plays, both originals and revivals. Several went on to Broadway runs, including You Can't Take It With You and Harvey, which starred Helen Hayes and Jimmy Stewart.
The University Musical Society's presentation of four song recitals celebrating the bicentenni?al of Schubert's birth marks the first time in 58 years that UMS has used the Mendelssohn Theatre for regular season programming. The recitals feature baritone Sanford Sylvan (January 24), mezzo-soprano Sarah Walker (January 25), baritone Wolfgang Holzmair (February 17) and soprano Barbara Bonney (February 18).
BURTON MEMORIAL TOWER
Seen from miles away, this well-known University of Michigan and Ann Arbor landmark is the mailing address and box office location for the University Musical Society.
During a 1921 commencement address, University president Marion LeRoy Burton suggested that a bell tower, tall enough to be seen for miles around, be built in the center of campus representing the idealism and loyalty of
U-M alumni. In 1929 the UMS Board of Directors authorized construction of the Marion LeRoy Burton Memorial Tower. The University of Michigan Club of Ann Arbor accepted the project of raising money for the tower and, along with the Regents of the University, die City of Ann Arbor, and die Alumni Association, the Tower Fund was estab?lished. UMS donated $60,000 to this fund.
In June 1935 Charles Baird, who graduated from U-M in 1895 and was the equivalent of today's Athletic Director from 1898-1908, pre?sented the University of Michigan with $70,000 for the purchase of a carillon and clock. These were to be installed in the tower in memory of Burton, former president of the University and a member of the UMS Board of Directors. Baird's intention was to donate a symbol of the University's academic, artistic, and community life a symbol in sight and sound which alumni would cherish in their Michigan memories.
Designed by Albert Kahn, the 10-story tower is built of Indiana limestone with a height of 212 feet. The tower is 41 feet, 7 inch?es square at the base. Completed in 1936, the Tower's basement and first floor rooms were designated for use by the University Musical Society in 1940. In later years, UMS was also granted permission to occupy the second and third floors of the tower.
The remaining floors of Burton Tower are arranged as classrooms and offices used by the School of Music, with the top reserved for die Charles Baird Carillon. During die academic year, visitors may climb up to the observation deck and watch die carillon being played from
noon to 12:30pm weekdays when classes are in session and most Saturdays from 10:15 to 10:45am. A renovation project headed by local builder Joe O'Neal began in the summer of 1991. As a result, 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 donat?ed labor, materials and funds to this project

FIRST EDITION COVER, DIE SCHONE MOLLERIN
Franz Schubert
Born January 31, 1797 in Vienna Died November 19, 1828 in Vienna
Drei Klavierstucke, D. 946
The Drei Klavierstucke (Three Piano Pieces) were composed in May 1828 during Schubert's final agonizing but prolific year. Wracked by the syphilis from which he had been suffer?ing since 1822 and beset by near poverty, the composer managed nonetheless to pour out some of his most supreme achievements, among them the f-minor Fantasy and a-minor sonata, both for piano duo, the last three piano sonatas, and the great C-Major string quintet.
Schubert's publisher had voiced repeat?ed entreaties for piano works on a more manageable scale. The request resulted in eight impromptus in 1827 and the Drei Klavierstucke the following year, set in e-flat minor, E-flat Major, and C Major. While not boasting the stature of the final sonatas, these are nonetheless challenging and sub?stantial essays, each a monument to the composer's infallible lyrical impulses.
The first and third pieces are couched in straightforward ABA form. Their outer sec?tions, respectively impetuous and playful, each frame a more tranquil interlude. The second piece, however, unfolds on a broader scale, incorporating a second Trio to yield an ABACA structure. Interestingly, the haunting refrain that closes each of the A sections links the piece to the chronological period of Die schb'ne Mullerin five years earli?er: it is a loose appropriation of choral music from Act III of Schubert's opera Fierabras, which he completed in October of 1823 just before beginning work on the song cycle.
Die schone Mullerin, D. 795 (1823)
(The Fair Maid of the Mill)
It takes little to incite knowledgeable music-lovers to extol the remarkable virtues of Schubert's songs. Arthur Hutchings, for example, waxed eloquent about their "perfect union of poetry, instrument, and personality," while the more academically-oriented Lawrence Kramer praised the unique "tension between tradition and innovation, structure and texture, musical form and musical lan?guage" Schubert's output of Lieder displays.
Perhaps nowhere in Schubert's oeuvre are the qualities that gave rise to the new form known as the art song presented with such clarity and simplicity as in his cycle Die schone Mullerin. What proves so fascinating here -and so utterly unprecedented -is the purely musical representation of the central character's psychological journey from spiritual birth to physical and spiritual death. With subtle yet deliberate strokes the composer has painted nothing less than the life of a soul, related not in emotional terms that defy complete verbal expression, but rather in purely musical terms. In this lies the true measure of Schubert's genius.
In composing this cycle, Schubert set twenty of Wilhelm Muller's twenty-three poems in the cycle by the same name, pub?lished in 1820 in a collection entitled Sieben und siebzig Gedichte aus den hinterlassenen Papieren eines reisenden Waldhornisten (Seventy-Seven Poems from the Papers of a Traveling Horn Player). They tell the story of a youth, his heart full of romantic yearn?ing for true love, who comes upon a mill as he follows a brook in the course of his trav?els. After asking for and receiving work as an apprentice, he falls in love with the miller's daughter and briefly wins her affec?tions. But the fickle maiden then yields her heart to a lusty hunter. Desolate and incon-
solable in his loss, the miller lad drowns himself in the brook, which he has come to know as his only friend.
The popular story that Schubert came upon the texts of the Muller poems in the autumn of 1823 at the house of the private secretary to one Count Seczenyi, spirited away the little book so that he could begin heated composition of the miller songs, and returned it the next day to its surprised owner with a few of the songs already com?pleted, has been proved by Walther Durr to be apocryphal. But whatever the circum?stances of Schubert's first encounter with the poems, it is certain that he was immedi?ately captivated by their simple, sincere sen?timents and touching images.
Composition of the cycle occupied Schubert during October and November of 1823. Apparently it did not find immediate success upon publication in 1824: "So...your miller songs have brought no great acclaim" wrote his friend Franz von Schober late that year. But not long thereafter the work received Beethoven's hearty approbation. Studying the songs on his sickbed in 1826, he is reported to have said repeatedly to Anton Schindler that "truly this Schubert has the divine fire" and "had I come across this poem, I would have set it."
Two ideas act as agents of coherence in this work: that of traveling and that of human speech, as Arnold Feil has noted in a recent study. The element of travel is expressed in the piano as the steady, reassur?ing presence of the brook, whether it flows serenely, babbles happily, or rushes violently. But it is the unfolding element of speech that provides a gauge of this soul's progress. Where voice and piano establish and main?tain regular melodic and metrical patterns, we are presented with a detached portrait, as a leaf from a picture book. But where the music boldly defies expectation -in partic?ular, where the vocal line erupts in the will?ful, passionate manner of verbal discourse
we are confronted with the vivid reality of human feeling.
The musical means Schubert employs to take the listener from objective perception to subjective reality are dazzling in their vari?ety and inventiveness. With the piano's con?tinuous sixteenth-note figurations, the fourth song, "Danksagung an den Bach," (Thanks to the Brook) extends the idea of travel presented in the first and second songs, but here, for the first time, joins it with a human utterance. The regular four-measure introduction in the piano leads us to expect a similar response from the voice; instead, in the manner of one speaking aloud, the antecedent phrase is extended by a bar and then followed by three measures of "afterthought" as the question to the brook is repeated. Disturbance of the estab?lished metrical pattern applies equally for the ensuing exclamatory word Gelt.
The youth's desire to impress the lovely miller maiden erupts in "Am Feierabend," (On Resting at Evening) driven by the vigor?ous turning of the mill wheels, softly at first but ultimately with explosive force. Schubert introduces two new voices here -the miller maiden and her father -rendered in the manner of recitative, with simple chordal accompaniment. The placement on the downbeat of the maiden's utterance intensi?fies its poignant effect, and hints at the pain her actions are to bring about. The persona of the miller lad is further developed in the eighth song, "MorgengruB" (Morning Greeting). Its restrained melodies are launched by sixths, but to contrasting effect: by altering the rhythmic placement of the interval, the amiable greeting at the outset is transformed into an expression of delicate hurt in the concluding line of each stanza, accompanied by a yearning echo in the piano.
"Mein!" (Mine)signifies the cycle's mid?point as the lad sings joyously of the con?quest that is at long last his. In place of the
abstractions of the first song, this one is rife with first-person imperatives and rhapsodic extensions, thus giving us the tangible impression of the lad's presence. But "Pause" (Pause) finds the apprentice at a loss for song. Perplexed, he can emit only broken phrases which, more often than not, are in direct opposition to the gentle strum?ming of the lute as represented in the piano part.
The cycle lurches forward ominously when the hunter enters the scene. In its bat?tering relentlessness, "Der Jager" (The Hunter) exudes jealousy in every bar, which mounts as each successive section rises in both musical and emotional pitch. The anger is personally assumed by the lad in "Eifersucht und Stolz" (Jealousy and Pride). Here there is virtually no melodic regularity, all is impassioned verbal outpouring.
The magnificent funeral march conclud?ing "Trockne Blumen" (Dried-up Flowers) marks the apotheosis of the miller lad's anguished longing. But his vision of fields erupting in bloom to greet the new spring as the maiden passes by his grave is only an illusion, and ultimately crumbles. In "Der Miiller und der Bach" (The Miller and the Brook) the lad's connection with the brook is re-established. As the uncertain melody and rhythm tell us, his energy is spent; he seeks only peace beneath the cool waters. The final song, "Des Baches Wiegenlied" (The Brook's Cradle-song) gently welcomes home the weary wanderer. The line Wandrer, du miider, du bist zu Haus (Wanderer, you weary one, now you are at home) in the first stanza is given as a direct, intimate address, the only phrase not repeated in the song. It in fact sums up the intent of the entire cycle, which comes to rest in the afterglow of an ever-expressive rising sixth in the voice linking the vastness of the heavens to the brook's infinite depths.

From Schubert's Die schone Mullerin to the operas of John Adams, the American baritone Sanford Sylvan dis?plays a remarkable range of vocal expression and com?municative power. On the concert stage and in recordings, his radiant?ly pure, lyric tone, clarity of diction and pro?found understanding of both words and music speak directly and intimately to his audience.
Deeply committed to the art of the vocal recital, Mr. Sylvan and his long-time collabo?rator, pianist David Breitman, have per?formed extensively throughout the United States and Europe, in venues including Carnegie's Weill Recital Hall and London's Wigmore Hall. This season Mr. Sylvan and Mr. Breitman (accompanied by noted Schubert scholar Susan Youens) perform sixteen recitals nationwide as part of a "Schubert Celebration" which will feature Die schone Mullerin, Winterreise, and a pro?gram of selected Schubert lieder, of which this concert is a part. Sylvan and Breitman's highly acclaimed recording of Die schone Mullerin was released by ElektraNonesuch in December 1992. The duo have also col?laborated with die Lydian String Quartet in performances of Faure's La Bonne Chanson in recitals across the country, a recording of the work, as the cornerstone of an all-Faure disk, was released in the spring of 1996. Mr. Sylvan's debut recital album on Elektra Nonesuch, Beloved That Pilgrimage -an ail-American program of music by Barber, Copland, and Chanler -was nominated for a Grammy as "Best Classical Vocal Performance" in 1991. An earlier recording of John Adams' The Wound Dresser, composed especially for him, was also a Grammy nomi?nee.
In the summer of 1994, Mr. Sylvan made his debut at the Glyndebourne Festival in
England, performing the role of Leporello in Mozart's Don Giovanni, conducted by Simon Rattle, with Deborah Warner, stage director. Mr. Sylvan has been acclaimed in the United States and Europe for his por?trayals of Figaro in Le nozze di Figaro and Don Alfonso in Cost fan tutte in the Peter SellarsCraig Smith productions of Mozart's operas, which have been seen on PBS's "Great Performances" series, and which are available on videocassette and laserdisc from DeccaLondon. He originated the roles of Chou-En Lai in John Adams' Nixon in China and Leon Klinghoffer in Adams' The Death of Klinghoffer. Both these operas were recorded by ElektraNonesuch. He has also partici?pated in the American premiere of Peter Maxwell Davies' The Lighthouse, the world premiere of Philip Glass' The Juniper Tree, and a performance at the Proms in London of Michael Tippett's The Ice Break, which was recorded by Virgin Classics. During the
1995-96 season, Mr. Sylvan appeared with the Houston Grand Opera in a production of Virgil Thomson's Four Saints in Three Ads, which was also performed at the Lincoln Center Festival last July and at the Edinburgh Festival last August.
Mr. Sylvan has performed with The Cleveland Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, Boston Symphony, San Francisco Symphony, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, London Sinfonietta, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, NHK (Japanese Broadcasting Corp.) Symphony and the Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra, under such conductors as Christoph von Dohnanyi, Pierre Boulez, Herbert Blomstedt, Simon Rattle, Kent Nagano, and Edo de Waart. In addition to Mr. Sylvan's busy recital schedule, this sea?son includes appearances with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam, the Duisberg Symphony Orchestra, and a
Sanford Sylvan (r) and David Breitman
return engagement with the Carmel Bach Festival under the direction of Bruno Weil. Sanford Sylvan's other festival appearances have included the Tanglewood Festival, Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, Cabrillo Music Festival, and Ojai Festival, in addition to annual performances with the New England Bach Festival under the direction of Blanche Moyse, and Emmanuel Music in Boston, under the direction of Craig Smith. As a chamber musician, he has toured, per?formed and recorded with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Music from Marlboro, Ensemble Sequentia, and the Boston Symphony Chamber Players, with whom he has recorded John Harbison's Words from Paterson.
Born in New York City, Sanford Sylvan is a graduate of the Manhattan School of Music. He also studied at the preparatory division of Thejuilliard School, and at the Tanglewood Music Center.
This evening's performance marks Sanford Sylvan's debut under UMS auspices.
David Breitman enjoys an active and varied career as a soloist and collaborative artist, and is equally at home with the modern piano and its historical ancestors. As part of a seven-fortepianist team led by Malcolm Bilson, he participated in the first-ever com?plete Beethoven piano sonata cycle on origi?nal instruments, given at Merkin Hall in New York, at the Utrecht Festival in Holland, and at Duke and Cornell Universities. Other recent performances include solo engage?ments with the Albany Symphony Orchestra (a performance of two concertos in a re?creation of Mozart's 1784 benefit concert), Apollo's FireThe Cleveland Baroque Orchestra, and recitals for CBC Radio in Montreal, at the Cleveland Museum of Art, in Princeton, NJ and Charleston, SC. Mr. Breitman is also a frequent guest at festivals
and symposia, including Aston Magna, the Southeastern Historical Keyboard Society, the Oberlin Summer Piano Institute, and the Westfield CenterSmithsonian Institution's "Schubert's Piano Music" Symposium in April of 1995.
In addition to the growing discography with Mr. Sylvan for ElektraNonesuch, Breitman has recorded the complete music of Chopin for piano and cello with Kim Scholes for Titanic Records, and is prepar?ing a four-CD set of all of the Mozart violin-piano sonatas with Jean Francois Rivest for UMMUS, the label of the University of Montreal.
A native of Montreal, Mr. Breitman did his undergraduate work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and holds degrees from the' New England Conservatory (a Masters in piano performance with Patricia Zander) and Cornell University (a doctorate in Historical Performance Practice with Malcolm Bilson). He currently teaches at the Oberlin College Conservatory of Music.
This evening's concert marks David Breitman's debut under UMS auspices.

Franz Schubert
Born January 31, 1797 in Vienna Died November 19, 1828 In Vienna
WlNTERREISE, D. gil (Winter Journey)
On 16 January 1822, the young Prussian poet Wilhelm Muller (1794-1827) sent the first twelve poems of his poetic cycle Die Winterreise (The Winter Journey) to the Leipzig literary periodical, Urania, for its 1823 issue. Schubert discovered the work at some unknown time, perhaps in late 1826, with what delight we can only imagine; he had already demonstrated an uncanny affin?ity for Muller's poetry with his first song cycle Die schone Mullerin (The Fair Maid of the Mill), D. 795, composed in 1823. By some time in early 1827 (chronological mys?teries abound in the genesis of diis work), Schubert had set die twelve Urania poems as a "closed" cycle, beginning and ending in d minor, entided simply Winterreise-he deleted the definite article for a stronger, starker effect -and then discovered still more poems belonging to die winter journey. Perhaps Muller wanted to go beyond die null and void of TLinsamkeit" (Loneliness) at die end of the Urania set, perhaps he wanted to provide answers to the protagonist's search for self-understanding, but whatever die reasons, he extended die cycle by double its original lengdi. The final version of die winter journey appeared in die second anthology of Muller's poems, like the first volume entitled Gedichte aus den hinterlasse-nen Papieren eines reisenden Waldhornisten II: Lieder des Lebens und der Liebe (Poems from the Posdiumous Papers of a Traveling Horn-player, Vol. 2: Songs of Life and Love), pub?lished in die poet's nadve town of Dessau in 1824. Muller by then had re-ordered die poems, but Schubert could not duplicate it widiout disrupting the musical structure
already created. Therefore, he simply set the remaining poems in order as a Fortsetzung (Continuation) or Part II, beginning with "Die Post," (The Post) although he reversed the succession of "Die Nebensonnen" (The Mock Suns) and "Mut" (Courage) in Muller's cycle, perhaps in order to "wind down" more gradually at the end and to make evident the musical links between his last two songs. This is truly a powerful tale, a monodrama sung by a solitary wanderer. The poet adopts the frequent Romantic theme of a spiritual journey by an isolated, alienated protagonist with a tragic finale in madness or death, but Muller transforms the conventions he borrows. We never know the poetic persona's name, his occupation, or his background. We know only the stages of his voyage into the self throughout a long winter of the spirit; die journey is more inward than outward, the winter more a metaphorical climate of the soul dian a season of the year. The quest to discover why he acts and feels as he does (this is self-analysis long before Freud) is impelled by his rejection in love, though the shadowy sweedieart is less important than the wanderer's sense of estrangement from the world and from himself. It was once fashionable to decry Muller as a "naive" poet, second-rate at best, but the pendulum of critical perception has finally righted itself, and we can see more clearly what is powerful and original in dais cycle. Certainly Schubert could: he matched Muller's grim truths widi music of the highest inspiration. When the composer first performed what he called "horrifying [schauerlicher] songs" for his friends (again, we do not know when), they were dumbfounded and did not know what to think. "I like these songs more than all the rest," Schubert replied, "and you will come to like diem as well." Indeed we have, aldiough "like" is too pallid a word for die bleakly beautiful experience of Muller's and Schubert's winter journey.

Overture from THE VOYEVODE, Op. 3
Peter Ilych Tchaikovsky
Born on May 7, 1840, in Votkinsk,
Viatka district, Russia Died on November 6, 1893, in St. Petersburg
Tchaikovsky's first opera, The Voyevode, had its premiere at the Bolshoi Theatre in St. Petersburg on February 11, 1869.
First, some explanations. The word "voyevode" is not a name but a title, one that belonged to the provincial governors in Russia before the early nineteenth century. They played a crucial role in ruling a far-flung empire, one that in many ways was still feudal. Concertgoers may be familiar with the name from the tone poem by Tchaikovsky, based on Pushkin's translation of a poem by Adam Mickiewicz.
The work from which excerpts are heard at these concerts is a different and much earlier one, Tchaikovsky's first opera, which he composed in 1867-68. Though he was a novice at writing for the stage, he managed to enlist Alexander Ostrovsky, one of the leading playwrights of the day, as his libret?tist. Perhaps he had warmed up Ostrovsky by composing a tone poem based on his play The Storm. In any case, he did curry favor by providing an Introduction and Mazurka for the playwright's Dmitri the Pretender and Vasily Shuisky.
The Voyevode had already been performed as a play, and it might have been short work for Ostrovsky to turn it into a libretto. The collaboration went promisingly at first, but after he had received the first act, Tchaikovsky alienated the librettist by losing his copy of the text and requesting that Ostrovsky write out another. With much wheedling, Tchaikovsky got this, and a bit of Act Two, but then their working relation?ship collapsed, and the composer had to provide the rest of the libretto himself.
The public was enchanted with its first hearing of an excerpt from the opera, the Dances of the Hay Maidens, which were per?formed at a concert in Moscow, conducted by Nicolai Rubinstein in December 1867. Recognizing a hit, Tchaikovsky's publisher, Jurgenson, quickly turned out an arrange?ment for piano for four hands.
The premiere of the opera itself, which took place fourteen months later in St. Petersburg, was only a partial success. The orchestral writing was generally admired, but as a drama, The Voyevode had little to rec?ommend it. According to one observer, it was staged "with odds and ends of scenery and any old costumes." A weak chorus and a lazy conductor further dimmed the work's prospects, and the critics all found fault with . the music: too German, too Italian, an insipid libretto, and so on.
Altogether, the opera had four perfor?mances, after which it disappeared from the stage. After salvaging some of the music for his next opera, The Oprichnik, Tchaikovsky destroyed the full score. The individual parts, vocal and instrumental, survived for the most part, and from these a complete score was reassembled by Soviet scholars, and The Voyevode had a revival in Leningrad in 1949.
The Overture, which prominently fea?tures a theme reminiscent of Russian liturgi?cal chant, sets the scene for a tale of emo?tional intrigue. The Voyevode of the title, Shaligin by name, abducts Maria, the sister of the woman he had pledged to marry. Maria's beloved, the young nobleman Bastryukov, conspires with Dubrovin, whose wife the governor has also abducted, to free the women from his clutches. The Voyevode returns home unexpectedly and almost foils their plan, but at the last moment, a new governor arrives on the scene, putting Shaligin under arrest and liberating his victims.
Cantata in Commemoration of the Bicentenary of the Birth of Peter the Great
Peter Ilych Tchaikovsky
This cantata was first heard at an open-air performance on the Troitsky Bridge in Moscow on June 12, 1972.
When Peter the Great became Tsar of Russia in 1695, his country looked backward and inward. In the West, the Age of Reason had trimmed the powers of the churches, made science the new source of wisdom, and encouraged people to question, think, and innovate. But Russia remained in the grip of the hereditary nobility and the Orthodox Church.
All of that changed with a jolt after the young Tsar visited Western Europe in 1697-98. The first sign of cultural innovation was his decree in 1700 that men should shave their beards and wear up-to-date short coats, in the German fashion. That was only the beginning. Between then and his death in 1725, he reorganized the ranks of the nobili?ty along "rational" lines; brought the church under state control; instituted Prussian-style discipline in the army; drove the Swedes out of the Balkans; and perhaps most important, built a modern city first called by the Dutch name Sankt Piter Bourkh. It became in turn St. Petersburg, Petrograd, Leningrad, and once again St. Petersburg.
In 1871, the new Russia Peter the Great had helped to create was planning a massive celebration of the 200th anniversary of his birth, which would fall the next year. Among other things, Nicolai Rubinstein, who was in charge of the musical side of the celebra?tions, proposed gathering folk songs from around the empire, and bringing folk singers to Moscow for the Exhibition. Tchaikovsky was one of those to be sent in
search of Russian roots, but when the com?mittee failed to raise the 1,000 rubles neces?sary for the project, it floundered.
Something even better came Tchaikovsky's way, however, a commission worth 750 rubles for him alone to write a cantata in commemoration of Peter the Great, to be performed in 1872 for the opening of the Polytechnic Exhibition. He was on his way abroad for the Christmas holidays when the commission arrived, and he apparently spent no time working on the cantata dur?ing his travels through Berlin, Paris, Nice, Genoa, Venice, and Vienna. He arrived back in Moscow on February 10, with the pre?miere of the cantata just four months away.
He was warned that Yakov Polonsky's text was "most unmusical," and for much of die cantata, he relied on works he already had in hand. From the introduction to the finale of his Symphony No. 1, he took die beginning of the cantata, and ended it with a version of the folk song on which the symphonic passage is based. 'To be fair," writes David Brown, in Tchaikovsky: The Early Years, "just as diese appropriations signified a debt to die past, so the piece also provided a legacy to die future, for Tchaikovsky rounded off die orchestral introduction widi a new section which diree years later was to form die basis of die Scherzo's trio in his Symphony No. 3.
One looks in vain for any mention of Peter the Great in die Soviet edition of Tchaikovsky's complete works. The music of die cantata is diere, but under die tide Cantata for the Opening of the Moscow Polytechnic Exhibition. This text is a latter-day muddle, concocted by die Soviet editors, who expunged any reference to Tsar Peter or his regime. Widi die opening of die former Soviet Union, Tchaikovsky's manuscripts have once more become available to schol?ars in die West, and for diese performances, die original text has been restored, and a new transladon prepared by DSO librarian Elkhonon Yoffe.
Cantata in Commemoration of the Bicentenary of the Birth of Peter the Great
Text by Yakov Polonshy Translation by Elkhonon Yoffe
As if through a foggy night distant Stars in the heavens flicker in a circle-dance, So through the murky depths of ancient times Gleam to us what was their wandering light.
A hero, a fearsome sorcerer Here, in the oaks a highwayman, A prince's feast, bustle of people's assembly, A row of icon-lamps in a cavern at the foot of the hill.
And sometimes singing voices are heard Or hermits' holy words.
The sacred grain of our Rus
Was trampled into the ground by the
Mongol Lords. Burial mounds were growing, Rus was filled
with blood, Her grain was silently breaking through to
the light.
Moscow rose with golden crowns. Like the sun into the sky Moscow rose with golden crowns Another war and a river of blood flows.
The bell of alarm, raids and fires, Tsar Ivan, the boyards' heroic deeds, The stench of executions, the smell of
burning bodies, The Time of Troubles and
self-proclaimed Tsar.
Perhaps from these evil years The fathers' heritage is left to us. And not one buried rich treasure lies Where the river flows and dark pine wood sighs.
And young and old -we'll search for the
hidden treasure, We'll search -there's a chance we'll find
the treasure.
The fathers left us semi-barbarian Rus, But faith in forbearance and power vast, A prayer heartfelt -for crucified God, The everlasting battle with nature and men. Must we fight and suffer again, Take flight to the wilderness to pray, Find secret backwoods places -refugees From foes and malice
Must we sharpen swords protecting cities,
Live through lean years,
And not give up and die in the
prime of life -Is this the wisdom of the holy fathers
They left us to a land which encompasses South ever-blooming and North non-thawing, East with its mysteries, West and many ways To halt troubles, animosity and misery
But who, absolve us, Heavenly Father,
Who'll find this miraculous way
But who, absolve us, Heavenly Father,
Who'll find this miraculous way,
Who'll find this miraculous way,
This desired and bright way
Who on the way to such a treasure
Will overstep obstacles of evil,
Who is so great as to stir the grim spirit of
the people to a new life But who, absolve us, Heavenly Father, Who'll find this miraculous way This desired and bright way Who is so great as to stir the grim spirit of
the people to a new life
Oh, there was this genius, a tsar and workman, He was a navigator, carpenter and craftsman, While studying he taught and with
a divine grit He boldly began working for the cause
of the people.
The Great passed away, and his cause also died. From gloom to light we are timidly moving. Arrogant obeyers like children we
carelessly whistle, And seek neither glory nor famous affair.
He was the gift of the Holy Father,
He showed us the miraculous way,
He was so great, he stirred the grim spirit
Of people to a new life,
For a new life, for a new life.
He was so great, he stirred the grim spirit
Of people for a new life.
The progeny of the Great on the
Russian throne,
He opposes tyranny headstrong, Slavery mute or laziness dishonorable For the sake of the people deserving his
toilsome struggle.
So that our road to happiness will
be straighter,
Bless, the people's labor, The Lord's Anointed, The Lord's Anointed. May peace rejoice, let freedom reign. So that our road to happiness
will be straighter.
May peace rejoice, let freedom reign, So that our road to happiness
will be straighter, Bless the people's labor, The Lord's Anointed
Let there be, let there be eternal peace,
freedom, Let there be, let there be eternal peace,
freedom,
Let reign, let there be eternal peace, freedom, Let freedom reign
Let freedom reign and rejoice, forever, Long live peace,
Let there be peace forever, forever, Let there be peace, Let there be peace, Let there be peace,
Peace and freedom,
Peace and freedom,
Peace and freedom,
Long live freedom and peace,
And peace forever!
Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 3 in d minor, Op. 30
Sergei Rachmaninoff
Bom on April 1, 1873, in Semyonovo, Russia Died on March 28, 1943, in Beverly Hills, California
Rachmaninoff was the soloist at the first perfor?mance of his Third Piano Concerto in New York on November 28, 1909.
In spite of all the adulation Rachmaninoff received in the United States, he was never quite at home here. From 1918 on, America was home, insofar as he had a home, but not until the month before his death did he and his wife take out US citizenship. His first concert tour of the States, in 1909, was especially trying, as he told a Russian maga?zine when interviewed upon his return in 1910.
"America was a strain," he reported. "Imagine giving an almost daily concert for three whole months. I played only my own works. The success was great. They forced me to play as many as seven encores, which is quite a lot for that audience. The audi?ences are astonishingly cold, spoiled by the tours of first-class artists and forever looking for novelty, for something they've never heard before. Local papers are obliged to note the number of times you are recalled to the stage, and the public regards this as a yardstick of your talent." He first appeared in Ann Arbor as a part of the Choral Union series in November 1920.
Yet Rachmaninoff had one memory to cherish from the American tour: his perfor?mance of the Third Piano Concerto with the New York Philharmonic-Symphony on January 16, 1910, under Mahler's direction. This was not the premiere -that had taken place under Walter Damrosch's direction the previous November. But Rachmaninoff was grateful for the rehearsal time Mahler lavished on the new work.
"At that time Mahler was the only con?ductor whom I considered worthy to be classed with Nikisch," he said. "He devoted himself to the concerto until the accompani?ment, which is rather complicated, had been practiced to the point of perfection, although he had already gone through another long rehearsal [Berlioz' Symphonie fantastique]. According to Mahler, every detail of the score was important -an atti?tude too rare amongst conductors."
Rachmaninoff had written the concerto during the summer of 1909, near the end of a particularly rich and gratifying period for him as a composer. He had spent die years from 1906 to 1908 in Dresden wiui his family, in partial retreat from the concert platform. There, he composed the Second Symphony, the First Piano Sonata, and the tone poem, The Isle of the Dead. Even after he returned to Moscow, and to the routine of conducting and playing the'piano, die fires he had stoked in seclusion burned steadily. The Third Concerto is not only a vehicle for virtuoso pianists and a favorite widi audiences, but a coherent and well-planned work that even Rachmaninoff's detractors cannot help praising.
The melody that opens the first movement sounds as if it had grown rather dian been invented. The musicologist Joseph Yasser pointed out its similarity to the liturgical melody, Thy Tomb, O Savior, Soldiers Guarding, but when he asked Rachmaninoff about die connection, he wrote back to say that it was borrowed "neidier from folk song forms nor
from church sources."
"It simply 'wrote itself!," the composer added. "If I had any plan in composing this theme, I was thinking only of sound. I want?ed to 'sing' the melody on the piano, as a singer would sing it -and to find a suitable orchestral accompaniment, or rather one that would not muffle this singing. That is all!"
In this he succeeded, and if the orches?tral part never challenges the soloist, it offers such carefully tailored support that it never seems superfluous, like the instru?mental parts in the Chopin concertos. Throughout the Third Concerto, Rachmaninoff is especially careful to mark each change of direction for the listener with a shift in tempo, an orchestral punctua-. tion, or a striking modulation. Here, he pre?pares the way for his second subject with a lingering cadence in the piano part, and with a sketch, as it were, of the tune itself, setting the stage for the main cantabile state?ment. Meanwhile, the orchestra bridges the gap with a slowed-down version of its accom?paniment to the first theme. A good thing that Mahler rehearsed his orchestra so thor?oughly, and a pity that other conductors have not always done so!
For a moment, Rachmaninoff seems to be repeating his exposition, introductory vamp and all, but a single note in the melody -C instead of C-sharp -pushes the music gently in another direction. It is easy to hear what follows as so much postur?ing by the soloist, but in fact, almost every note can be accounted for in relation to the main theme. A written-out cadenza, for which Rachmaninoff supplied two versions, functions as a sort of pre-recapitulation. The real recapitulation, when it arrives, is stun?ningly compressed -hardly more than a backward glance over the vast territory Rachmaninoff has covered.
To call the following movement "Intermezzo" would seem grotesque in any
other context, but that is precisely its function: to serve as a bridge linking the outer move?ments. The piano makes a striking entrance here, turning suddenly and decisively from the A Major in which the movement began to D-flat Major, a key beloved of pianists because it lies so comfortably under the fin?gers. What follows seems so easy-going that only after die waltz-like middle section is well underway do we feel it as a variation of the principal theme of the first movement. As die piano completes its cadenza, leading into the finale, we understand in retrospect why Rachmaninoff set the movement in A Major, rather dian the F Major one would expect: the "Intermezzo" does not exist in its own right, but as a gloriously embellished upbeat to the Finale.
The orchestra proclaims -sotto voce -that we have come full circle by preparing for the entrance of die piano with a vamp like the one in the first movement. Closer examination reveals that the rhythm here is a variant of the one we heard long ago, and the piano part, too, grows out of die orches?tra, asserting its independence gradually.
One can approach this movement in one of two ways: either by being carried along on the flood tide of virtuosity -pianistic and orchestral; or by following the variation and transmutation of themes one by one. As he had done in the "Intermezzo," Rachmaninoff recalls themes from the first movement in disguise, allowing the listener to sense the affinity before making it explicit.
Reticence is not a characteristic most people associate with Rachmaninoff, but anyone who has listened to his recorded performances of his own music and other composers' will note the parallels between Rachmaninoff the composer and Rachmaninoff the performer. In both roles, his strengdi lies in the piling up of details into an unshakable structure; and in both, he is utterly frank with the listener, never pointing in the wrong direction and never
promising more than he can deliver. Program Notes by Michael Fleming
? W eeme Jarvi became
k the eleventh music
L director ol the Detroil
Symphony Orchestra
L I on September 1. 1990,
B his first such position Lk. with an American sym-
phony orchestra. Internationally acclaimed for his performances with orchestras and opera houses around the world, Mr. Jarvi is one of today's mo?t sought-after conductors. He is also one of the world's most recorded
conductors with over 300 titles in his discography.
Neeme Jarvi was born in Tallinn, Estonia. He graduat?ed from the Tallinn Music School with degrees in percussion and choral conduct?ing, and continued his studies at the St.
Petersburg Conservatory (1955-60), where he received training in opera and symphonic conducting under mentors Nicolai Rabinovich and Yevgeny Mravinsky. He made his conducting debut at the age of eighteen in Estonia, and his operatic debut was Bizet's Carmen, at the Kirov Theatre.
In 1963 Neeme Jarvi began his career as his country's music mogul. He became Music Director of the Estonian Radio & Television Orchestra, founded the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra, and was appointed Chief Conductor of the Opera House Estonia in Tallinn, a position he held for thirteen years. From 1976-1980, he was Chief Conductor and Artistic Director of the newly-founded Estonian State Symphony Orchestra.
Neeme Jarvi
During the 1960's Jarvi gained a reputa?tion far beyond the borders of his native Estonia, appearing regularly with the Leningrad Philharmonic, and conducting major orchestras in Moscow and other important music centers in the former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe and England. He captured the international spotlight in 1971, when he won First Prize at the Conducting Competition of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome. Following this distinction, he received invita?tions to conduct the leading orchestras and opera companies of Great Britain, Sweden, Holland, Germany, Argentina, Canada and Japan. In the Soviet Union, he conducted that country's first-ever performances of Der Rosenkevalier, Porgy and Bess and II Turco in Italia. In 1973 and 1977 he made appear?ances in the USA with the Leningrad Philharmonic and the Leningrad Symphony, followed by his debut in 1979 at the Metropolitan Opera in New York conduct?ing Eugene Onegin.
Maestro Jarvi is an acknowledged leader in the crusade to resuscitate neglected works by both popular and lesser-know com?posers. This philosophy developed early in his career. From the podium of the Estonian State Symphony, he presented many pre?mieres of works by his countryman Eduard Tubin, Arvo Part and others. In 1979, he created a stir when he brought Credo, a Part work containing words from the Bible, to the Estonian concert hall. As Jarvi had not secured the party's seal of approval for the concert, the ensuing controversy con?tributed to his decision to emigrate to the West.
In January 1980, Neeme Jarvi and his family left the Soviet Union and settled in the USA. Just one month later he made his debut appearances with the Boston Symphony, the Philadelphia Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic. He was soon
making guest appearances with North America's leading orchestras, which led to close associations with the orchestras of Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Detroit. Also at this time Jarvi served as Principal Guest Conductor of England's Birmingham Symphony (1981-83), and Music Director of the Royal Scottish Orchestra (1984-1988), of which he is now Conductor Laureate. Since 1982 he has been Principal Conductor of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra of Sweden.
Neeme Jarvi holds honorary doctorates from Wayne State University in Detroit, the University of Aberdeen in Scodand, the Tallinn Music Academy in Estonia, and Gothenburg University in Sweden. An honorary member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music, Jarvi was dubbed a Knight Commander of the North Star Order by the King of Sweden in 1990. In addition, the Mahler Society recendy honored Mr. Jarvi with the Toblach-Mahler Award for "Best New Recording" for his Symphony No. 3 with the Royal Scottish Orchestra.
Neeme Jarvi and his wife Liilia have three children, all of whom are musical. Their son Paavo is Chief Conductor of the Malmo Symphony Orchestra in Sweden, and Principal Guest Conductor of both the Stockholm Philharmonic and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in Birmingham, England; daughter Maarika is Principal Flutist with the Orquesta Sinfonica RTVE Madrid, Spain; and son Kristjan is studying conducting at the University of Michigan. Kristjan is also the founder and conductor the Absolut Ensemble in New York City.
Neeme Jarvi first appeared under UMS auspices in November 1973 conducting the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra. This concert marks his seventh appearance under UMS auspices.
Born in 1970, pianist Leif Ove Andsnes
made his critically acclaimed North American orchestral debut in 1990 with The Cleveland Orchestra at the Blossom Festival under the baton of Neemejarvi. Since then, he has appeared with the Los Angeles Philharmonic,
the Detroit, San Francisco, St. Louis and Chicago sym?phonies, and made his recital debuts in New York at the 92nd Street Y as well as the Kennedy Center and Ravinia. During the 1995-96 season, Mr. Andsnes performed with The Cleveland
Orchestra in Severance Hall, the Toronto, Montreal, and Baltimore symphonies, and was re-engaged with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
Already acknowledged in Europe as one of today's most exciting young pianists, Mr. Andsnes regularly appears with the leading orchestras, including the Berlin Philharmonic, Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra, Oslo Philharmonic, Frankfurt Radio Orchestra and the Bergen Philharmonic, with which he will tour Europe and Japan. His schedule also includes recitals in major cities such as London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague and Copenhagen.
Leif Ove Andsnes began playing the piano at the age of five and in 1986 entered the Bergen Music Conservatory where he stud?ied with Jiri Hlinka. He has received numer?ous awards including the Hindemith Prize (Frankfurt 1987), the Levin Prize (Bergen 1988), the Norwegian Music Critics Prize (Oslo 1988), the Grieg Prize (Bergen 1990) and, most recently, the Dorothy B. Chandler Performing Arts Award in Los Angeles.
This performance marks Leif Ove Andsnes' debut under UMS auspices.
LEIF OVE ANDSNES
One of the leading dramatic tenors today, Vladimir Popov has become a regular at the Metropolitan Opera since his debut in 1984 as Lensky in Eugene Onegin. Also at the Met, Popov has sung Cavaradossi in Tosca, Johnson in La Fandulla del West, the title role of Andrea Chenier, Turiddu in Cavalleria rustkana, Adorno in Simon Boccanegra, Don Jose in Carmen, Andrei in Khovanschina, Dimitri in Bora Gudonov, Calaf in Turandot and Radames in Aida.
Popov has sung with: the San Francisco Opera as Gherman in Pique Dame, Radames and Macduff in Macbeth; Covent Garden as Calaf, Samson and Dmitri; at La Scala as Gherman and in Rimsky's Tsar Sultan; at the Arena di Verona as Dick Johnson, the Vienna Staatsoper as Calaf, Don Jose and Andrei, and the Paris Opera Bastille in Pique Dame, an opera that
has figured strongly in his career since he first sang the role in Philadelphia in a pro?duction by Gian Carlo Menotti which was telecast by PBS in the Great Performers series. While a student at La Scala in 1982, Vladimir Popov
defected to the West from Russia, where he had been with the Bolshoi. That same year, he made his US debut as Dick Johnson with the Seattle Opera.
This performance marks Vladimir Popov's debut under UMS auspices.

The Detroit Symphony Orchestra celebrates its eighty-third year with the 1996-97 season. The Orchestra is heard live by over 440,000 people annually with a year-round perfor?mance schedule that include twenty-six weeks of classical subscription concerts, the Pops Series, the Ameritech Jazz Series, the annual Christmas Festival featuring The Nutcracker ballet, The Detroit News Young People's Concerts, the Tiny Tots Series and a diverse summer season. Among the educa?tional activities the Orchestra offers are the free Educational Concert Series, Detroit Symphony Civic Orchestra concerts, a Docent and Student Ticket Distribution Program, the DSO Fellowship Program, and the Unisys African-American Composers Residency & National Symposium.
In September 1990, internationally-acclaimed conductor Neeme Jarvi became the eleventh Music Director of the DSO.
With the generous support of General Motors, the DSO also continues its long his?tory of national radio broadcasts. The DSO originated the first complete symphonic radio broadcast in 1922, and became the first official radio broadcast orchestra in the nation that same year. Today, the DSO is heard on over 500 radio stations nationwide, reaching approximately 1,150,000 listeners weekly -more than any other American orchestra.
The Orchestra has toured extensively in its history, both in Michigan and around the country. A pair of very well-received European tours took the DSO to twenty-four cities in 1979, and to fourteen music capi-tols in 1989. In 1994, the DSO and Maestro Jarvi performed five concerts as part of a week-in-residency at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. Then, in April 1995, Mr. Jarvi and the Orchestra returned to Carnegie Hall in New York for a highly-lauded, sold-out concert -the Orchestra's thirty-fourth
appearance at this legendary venue since 1920. An appearance at the prestigious Lucerne Festival in Switzerland in the spring of 1995 also drew critical praise. The DSO began an annual two-week residency at the Bravo! Colorado Music Festival in Vail, Colorado in 1995.
The Detroit Symphony Orchestra is cur?rently enjoying one of its most successful periods. Site preparation has begun for the new eighty million dollar Orchestra Place development, which will improve facilities at historic Orchestra Hall and add a new office building and a performing arts high school. This joint project with the Detroit Medical Center and the Detroit Public School system is one of the premier developments now being built in the city of Detroit. With Orchestra Place underway and Music Director Neeme Jarvi at the helm, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and the place it calls home have many reasons to look foward to an even brighter future.
UMS is proud of its ongoing relationship with the DSO which first performed under UMS auspices in 1919. Their most recent appearance was in May of 1995 where they performed Mahler's Symphony No. 2. Tonight's performance marks their seventy-fifth appearance under UMS aus?pices and their eleventh performance in the last ten years.

Activities of Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall arc made possible in part with the support of the National Endowment for the Arts, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, and the City of Detroit. Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall is an affirmative action, equal opportunity institution.
Throughout its 118-year history, the University Musical Society Choral Union has performed with many of the world's distin?guished orchestras and conductors.
In recent years, the chorus has sung under the direction of Neeme Jarvi, Kurt Masur, Eugene Ormandy, Robert Shaw, Igor Stravinsky, Andre Previn, Michael Tilson-Thomas, Seiji Ozawa 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.
Based in Ann Arbor under the aegis of the University Musical Society, the 180-voice Choral Union remains best known for its annual performances of Handel's Messiah each December. Three years ago, the Choral Union further enriched that tradition when it was appointed resident large chorus of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. In that capaci?ty, the ensemble has joined the orchestra for subscription performances of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, Orffs Carmina Burana, Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe and Prokofiev's Aleksandr Nevsky. In 1995, the Choral Union began an artistic association with the Toledo Symphony, inaugurating the partnership with a performance of Britten's War Requiem, and continuing this past season with perfor?mances of the Berlioz Requiem and Bach's Mass in b minor.
In the upcoming season, the UMS Choral Union will again expand its scope to include performances with a third major regional orchestra. Continuing its associa?tion with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, the Choral Union will collaborate in January 1997 with Maestro Jarvi and the DSO to pro?duce a second CD recording for Chandos Ltd. In March, the chorus will make its debut with the Grand Rapids Symphony,
joining with them in a rare presentation of the Symphony No. 8 (Symphony of a Thousand) by Gustav Mahler. This extraordi?nary season will culminate in a May perfor?mance of the Verdi Requiem with the Toledo Symphony.
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 towns?people, students and faculty, members of the Choral Union share one common passion -a love of the choral art.
The UMS Choral Union began performing in 1879 and has presented Messiah in annual per?formances. This performance marks their 369th appearance under UMS auspices.

Cyrus Chestnut was born in Baltimore and started playing piano at Mt. Calgary Baptist Church at the age of seven and organ at the age of nine. Chestnut received further musi?cal training from the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, then the Berklee School of Music in Boston.
He began his professional career work?ing with several celebrated artists, including Wynton Marsalis, drummer Carl Allen, and trumpeter Terence Blanchard. In 1990, he
began two years as the pianist in Betty Carter's trio. He then recorded Revelation, his debut for Atlantic Jazz. This album spent seven weeks at 1 on Gavin's jazz chart. It also ended 1994 as 1 on both the Gavin and CMJ year-end jazz charts.
Steve Futterman of The New Yorker maga?zine states, "why does Chestnut standout It's a matter of authenticity: Chestnut's flu?ency with blues phraseology, his unaffected romanticism, and a splendid touch that never glosses over a battering ram rhythmic sense."
Cyrus Chestnut made his UMS debut with Betty Carter in 1993 and returned in 1996 with Kathleen Battle. These performances mark his third and fourth appearances under UMS aus?pices.
James Carter was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. His musical education consisted of private studies with local bop scene veter?an Donald Washington as well as tenures at the prestigious Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp. Carter first came to national attention tour?ing with Wynton Marsalis while only seven?teen. Since then, he has worked with Lester Bowie, Julius Hemphill, The Charles Mingus Big Band, The Lincoln Center Jazz
Orchestra, and Kathleen Battle, among many others.
In addition to studying with Washington, Carter spent his youth per?forming regularly. During his summers as a teenager, he played jazz at the
Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp in Muskegon County, Michigan. And when he won a scholarship to the prestigious Interlochen classical music camp 100 miles away, he attended both sessions concurrently. In 1985 he made his first tour of Europe with a stu?dent band known as the Blue Lake Jazz Ensemble. Before graduation, he returned to Europe that same summer as a a member of the camp's faculty band, the Blue Lake Monster Ensemble. Earlier in 1985, Carter met Wynton Marsalis, who hired the young?ster to play with him at DCs Blues Alley. For the next eighteen months, Carter toured with Marsalis -filling in for the trum?peter's younger brother Branford, who had left to join Sting's band. After graduating from high school, Carter began working with trumpeter Lester Bowie in November, 1988.
Mr. Carter has received critical acclaim for his current CD entitled The Real Quietstorm on Atlantic Jazz, with Craig Taborn on piano, Jaribu Shahid on bass, Dave Holland on bass, Tani Tabbal on drums, and Leon Parker on drums.
James Carter made his UMS debut in December 1996 performing with Kathleen Battle. These per?formances mark his second and third appearances under UMS auspices.
Christian McBride was born in Philadelphia and started out by playing the electric bass when he was eight years old. Inspired by his father, Lee Smith, he studied classical bass at
Cyrus Chestnut
James Carter
Philadelphia's High School for the Creative and Performing Arts. He also took lessons from Neil Courtney, bassist with the Philadelphia Orchestra.
In 1989, McBride was awarded a scholar?ship to attend Juilliard. However, saxophon?ist Bobby Watson put him to work in his band, and after that he began recording withjoe Henderson, Etta Jones, Betty Carter, Wynton Marsalis, Bruce Hornsby, Cyrus Chestnut, and Joshua Redman, among many others.
On his Verve recording, Gettin' To It, McBride contributed six original composi?tions, including the title track -a tribute to his idol, James Brown. Richard Seidel, Vice President of A&R at Verve and co-producer of the album says, "He transcends whatever
limitations the bass places on a leader. He's got the sound, intonation, and time, and he's an excep?tional accompanist and soloist; it's rare to have all five qualities in a bassist. And he's very soulful."
Last June, the city of Philadelphia hon-
ored McBride by establishing a "Christian McBride Day" during the Mellon Jazz Festival.
Christian McBride made his UMS debut in December 1996 performing with Kathleen Battle. These performances mark his second and third appearances under UMS auspices.
Trombonist composer-arranger seashell-ist Steve Turre, born to music-loving Mexican-American parents, grew up in the San Francisco Bay area and was influenced at a young age to the music of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Stan Kenton, and Woody Herman. After a brief flirtation with the vio?lin, he settled on the trombone. At the age
of thirteen, he was a paid-in-full member of the brass section of his junior high jazz band. He studied music at Sacramento State University and on weekends, played with the San Francisco-based Escovedo, a crack
salsa band.
In 1972, Turre's snowball began to gath?er momentum. Ray Charles hired him for his world touring band. In 1973, he appren?ticed with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. Additionally, he played with Thad JonesMel Lewis Big Band, Van Morrison, Rashaan Roland Kirk, and Woody Shaw. It was working with Kirk which began his involvement with seashells.
After a weekly stint with the Saturday Night Live Band, his ten-piece band, Sanctified Shells, began to mature. His recording, Right There, is a heady mixture of soul, salsa, and instrumental swingosity. More recently, his recording of Rhythm Within is considered to be a "triumph of the shell."
These performances mark Steve Turre's debut under UMS auspices.
Leon Parker, a native of the New York sub?urb of White Plains, has been drumming since the age of three. By age fifteen, Parker was playing in a local youth jazz ensemble; at seventeen he began to study classical per?cussion. His passion for music led him to turn down a scholarship to study religion and philosophy at Fordham University. Instead, he got on a train and went to New York City.
Parker studied at Barry Harris' Jazz Cultural Theater. He played steadily in Elmsford, New York and performed fre?quently at the Blue Note jam sessions run by
Christian McBride
Steve turre
Philip Harper. In 1989 Parker moved to Spain, and on his return, began an associa?tion with the famed Village Gate. One of the last groups Parker put together for the Village Gate consisted of tenor saxophonist
David Sanchez, pianist Jacky Terrasson, and bassist Ugonna Okegwo -all of who appear on his recording Above and Below.
Leon Parker's unusual approach to drumming has received critical
acclaim. Don Heckman, jazz writer for the Los Angeles Times, said of the recording Above and Below, "It is Parker's imagination and sheer joy in the act of taking musical chances that energize this important recording."
Tliese performances mark Leon Parker's debut under UMS auspices.
As the musical impetus behind the famous sibling group, the Clark Sisters, Twinkie Clark performed with them for over twenty-two years. Her unique styling and arranging beean to take center stage. In addition to
her many gifts, which include writing, pro?ducing, singing and aranging with the Clark Sisters, the Greensboro, North Carolina based Twinkie Clark has garnered five Grammy Award nomi?nations, a Dove Award, a NAACP
Award and two GMWA Excellence Awards. Twinkie's talents have been witnessed not only by the gospel world, but she is well-respected throughout the music arena. With hits like You Brought the Sunshine, Is My
Living in Vain and Name It, Claim It, Twinkie received urban air-play. Her music has also charted high on Billboard urban and gospel charts.
An accomplished keyboardist, with a spe?cialty in the Hammond B-3 organ, Twinkie's influences include Thomas Whitfield, the Hawkins Family, Andrae Crouch and several other world-class musicians. Her mass appeal with music lovers has taken her to major concert halls across the country and has placed her on international stages. She has performed with the likes of The Winans, Vanessa Bell Armstrong and The Mighty Clouds of Joy.
Following a successful career with the Clark Sisters, Twinkie launched a solo career in 1991.
These performances mark Twinkie Clark's debut under UMS auspices.
Robert Sadin, Artistic Director of Blues Roots Honks and Moans, has distinguished himself in a remarkably wide range of musical idioms as a conductor, arranger, music director, record producer, teacher and counsel to many great classical, jazz and gospel artists.
As conductor of the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, Mr. Sadin has toured throughout the United States in addition to numerous performances at Lincoln Center and record?ed Duke Ellington's major tone poem The Tattooed Bride. At the 1995 JVC Jazz Festival he collaborated with Marcus Roberts in a striking interpretation and reworking of Gershwin's masterpiece Rhapsody in Blue.
During 1995, Mr. Sadin and Kathleen Battle produced the cross-over release So Many Stars featuring Grover Washington, Jr., Cyrus Chestnut and Christian McBride, the concert form of which was presented by UMS this past December.

Education and Audience Development
During the past year, the University Musical Society's Education and Audience Development program has grown significantly. With a goal of deepening the understanding of the importance of live per?forming arts as well as the major impact the arts can have in the community, UMS now seeks out active and dynamic collaborations and partner?ships to reach into the many diverse communities it serves.
Several programs have been established to meet the goals of UMS' Education and Audience Development program, including specially designed Family and Student (K-12) perfor?mances. This year, more than 7,000 students will attend the Youth Performance Series, which includes The Harlem Nutcracker, Sounds of Blackness, New York City Opera National Company's La Boheme and the National Traditional Orchestra of China.
Other activities that further the understand?ing of the artistic process and appreciation for the performing arts include:

In addition to these events, which are listed on pages 22-23 of this program book, UMS presents a host of other activities, including master class?es, workshops, films, exhibits, panel discussions, in-depth public school partnerships and other residency activities related to winter season pre?sentations of "Blues, Roots, Honks and Moans," the series of Schubert concerts and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis.

ord Honors Program
The Ford Honors Program is a relatively new University Musical Society pro?gram, made possible by a generous grant from Ford Motor Company. Each year, UMS honors a world-renowned artist or ensem?ble with whom we have maintained a long?standing and significant relationship. In one evening, UMS presents the artist in concert, pays tribute to and presents the artist with the UMS Distinguished Artist Award, and hosts a dinner and party in the artist's honor. Proceeds from the evening benefit the UMS Education Program.
Van Cliburn was selected as the first artist so honored in May 1996 because of his distin?guished performance history under UMS aus?pices, the affection shared between him and the people of Ann Arbor, his passionate devo?tion to young people and to education, and his unique ability to bring together and transform individuals and entire nations through the power of music.
This year's Ford Honors Program will be held Saturday, April 26, 1997. The recipient of the 1997 UMS Distinguished Artist Award is announced in late January.
