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

Years
and
Going Strong
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, die 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, die 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 die University Musical Society, die 180-voice Choral Union remains best known for its annual per?formances of Handel's Messiah each December. Three years ago, the Choral Union furdier 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, OrfPs Carmina Burana, Ravel's Daphnis el Chloe and Prokofiev's Aleksandr Nevsky. In 1995, die Choral Union began an artistic association with the Toledo Symphony, inaugurating die 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 the 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 with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra performing the ever-popular Fifth Symphony of Beethoven. The following evening featured Verdi's "Manzoni" Requiem, a work that 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, Lilv 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 Auditorium
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 H
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 die 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 ASSISI 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. Ardiur 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 die project of raising money for the tower and, along widi the Regents of die University, the City of Ann Arbor, and die Alumni Association, the Tower Fund was estab?lished. UMS donated $60,000 to diis 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 die 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 die 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 die University Musical Society in 1940. In later years, UMS was also granted permission to occupy die second and third floors of the tower.
The remaining floors of Burton Tower are arranged as classrooms and offices used by die School of Music, with the top reserved for die Charles Baird Carillon. During the academic year, visitors may climb up to the observation deck and watch the 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

Concerto for Orchestra
Beta Bartok
Born March 25, 1881 in Nagyszentmiklos,
Hungary (now Sinnicolau Mare, Romania) Died September 26, 1945 in New York, New York
Bartok was a prolific composer of con-certante works. In addition to his six concertos for soloist and orchestra -three for piano, two for violin and one for viola -he also wrote the Scherzo-Burlesque, Sz 27 and the Rhapsody, Sz 28 (both of which are large scale compositions for piano and orchestra), the two Rhapsodies for violin and orchestra (Sz 87 and 90), and the magnificent Concerto for Orchestra which constantly highlights dif?ferent instruments, alone and in multiple combinations, as soloists.
The Concerto for Orchestra was written for the Koussevitsky Music Foundation in mem?ory of Natalie Koussevitsky, wife of the emi?nent conductor. The work was completed on October 8, 1943, and had its first perfor?mance by the Boston Symphony Orchestra under Serge Koussevitsky, on December 1, 1944.
The composer supplied the following notes on the work at the time of its pre?miere performance:
The general mood of the work repre?sents, apart from the jesting second movement, a gradual transition from the sternness of the first movement and the lugubrious death-song of the third, to the life assertion of the last one.
The title of this symphony-like orches?tral work is explained by its tendency to treat the single instruments or instru?ment groups in a concertante or soloistic manner. The virtuoso treatment, appears, for instance, in the fugato sections of the development of the first movement (brass instruments), or in the perpetuum mobile-like passage of the principal theme in the last movement (strings) and,
especially, in the second movement in which pairs of instruments consecutively appear with brilliant passages.
As for the structure of the work, the first and fifth movements are written in a more or less regular sonata form. The development of the first contains fugato sections for brass; the exposition in the finale is somewhat extended, and its development consists of a fugue built on the last theme of the exposition. Less tra?ditional forms are found in the second and third movements. The main part of the second consists of a chain of indepen?dent short sections, by wind instruments consecutively introduced in five pairs (bassoons, oboes, clarinets, flutes, muted trumpets). Thematically, the five sections have nothing in common. A kind of trio -a short chorale for brass instruments and side-drum follows, after which the five sections are recapitulated in a more elaborate instrumentation. The structure of the fourth movement likewise is chain-like; three themes appear successively. These constitute the core of the movement, which is enframed by a misty texture of rudimentary motifs. Most of the thematic material of this movement derives from the 'Introduction' to the first movement. The form of the fourth movement -Intermezzo interrotto (Interrupted Intermezzo) -could be rendered by the letter symbols "ABA-interruptionBA."
The "life assertion" to which Bartok refers in his first paragraph concerns his last illness which made itself apparent two years before his death. Bartok was in Doctor's Hospital in the summer of 1943 when he was visited by Koussevitsky, who came bearing a commis?sion. Koussevitsky had never performed any of Bartok's scores and this was a special honor to a composer who was not yet known to the general public and who was dying from a broken heart as much as from a
physical disease. This commission came as an unexpected reprieve -and the results were startling. Bartok took an incredible turn for the better, so much so, that he was released from the hospital and sent to con?valesce in Asheville, North Carolina. He wrote the Concerto for Orchestra in this quiet setting -and, in fact, several other works before death claimed him two years later.
Symphony No. 2 in D Major, Op. 73
Johannes Brahms
Born on May 7, 1833, in Hamburg
Died on April 3, 1897, in Vienna
Brahms has often, with arguable justifi?cation, been called the last of the great clas?sical composers; a fervent admirer of Beethoven, he was moved by a desire to be linked to the tradition of the symphony as set by the master. However, Brahms cannot so easily be regarded as a mere neo-classicist (as he was called in life and even after his death); it is only the most superficial listen?er who could deny that his music possesses qualities of the most intense romanticism. The richness and abundance of his musical genius poured forth in his symphonies, as it did in his chamber works, choral pieces and his long list of songs. Like Beethoven before him, he provided a strong voice, dramatic content and perfection of structure to the symphony; this, however, he complemented with the introduction of the German Lied to the essence of symphonic form. Beethoven had not made use of this lyric, uncomplicated and somewhat rustic vein in his symphonies as it was later to be found in Brahms', but the practice was perpetuated into the turn of this century by Mahler, and to some small degree by Bruckner.
Brahms was over forty years old when he completed his First Symphony; having gar-
nered a substantial reputation with his small scale works (particularly his chamber music), and with Schumann's pronounce?ment naming him Beethoven's successor as a symphonist, Brahms felt tremendous pres?sure and weight of responsibility in present?ing his first work in the form to the world. As a result, work on the First Symphony took him fifteen years between initial con?ception and the production of the complet?ed score in 1876. Opus 68 turned out to be a magisterial work, and having overcome his fears regarding his abilities to compose in the grandest of forms for instrumental music, he immediately set to work on his next symphony.
Brahms wrote his Symphony No. 2 in D Major in 1877, completing the score in less than four months. This work has often been called Brahms' "Pastoral" Symphony. There is perhaps an element of truth in this descriptive nickname, particularly in rela?tion to the first and second movements and, possibly the third. Of his four symphonies, the tone of the Second is the most idyllic. The serene expression of the first move?ment is contrasted with the more deeply contemplative character of the second movement, where the lyrical sentiment is most apparent as the style of the Lied is clearly found in the melody. The third movement demonstrates a skillful use of variation technique and an effective juxtapo?sition of alternating fast and moderately slow sections. The finale expresses great jubilation. All in all, Opus 73 provides a vivid example of Brahms' long melodic lines, his contrapuntal skill as demonstrated in the combination of melodic lines, the richness of harmony dictated by seriousness of purpose, the impressive coherence obtained in the use of thematic material, and the feeling of balance and unity in the structure as a whole.
The first movement, "Allegro non troppo," is written in sonata-allegro form. The tran-
quil opening of basses, horns and wood?winds reveals the emotional tone as well as the musical keynote of the symphony; the first theme compounds musical ideas to be utilized later in the work. A second portion of the first theme is stated in a quiet undu?lating melody played in the violins' high reg?ister. A transition builds to a full climax; this leads into the tender second theme, which is introduced by the cellos and casts a shade of melancholy on the previously sunny pro?ceedings. The development section begins with an elaboration of the first theme; the intermingling melodies and vigorous con?trasting phrases of the development finally subside into a quiet passage which leads into the recapitulation. Here, the return of the first theme is combined with the second theme winding about it. The coda that con?cludes the movement features an ethereal horn solo.
Unlike Mendelssohn and Schumann for instance, Brahms followed the practice of the classics by placing the slow movement as the second instead of the third movement of his symphonies. The song-like "Adagio non troppo," is deeply contemplative in character with long phrases and rich chromaticism. The cellos introduce the first theme based on a descending line, which leads to an accompanying counterpoint, ascending and played by the bassoons. A transition passage introduces a new key and leads into the sec?ond theme, marked "L'istesso tempo, ma grazioso." A third theme introduces the development; this section builds up with increased rhythmic and melodic motion. The recapitulation brings back the second theme, this time richly ornamented, before closing with a restatement of the second theme.
The third movement, "Allegretto grazioso, quasi andantino," is more like a song than a scherzo, and is perhaps closer in style to some of Brahms' piano pieces labeled Intermezzi. The main theme, introduced by
the oboe with pizzicato accompaniment from the cellos, suggests the steps of a dance; however, there is nothing dance-like about the development section or the rich?ness of thematic variation in the middle episode.
The last movement, "Allegro con spirito," is once again built on the sonata-allegro form. The principal theme begins mysteriously in the strings, extends to the woodwinds, and at last is expounded by the entire orchestra. The second theme is also introduced by the strings. In the development section, Brahms' mastery of contrapuntal technique is most evident; here the composer makes frequent use of broken polyphony as the thematic threads of melody and counter?point are distributed into small and even smaller motifs. With one last statement of die second theme, proclaimed by the trum?pets, Brahms brings his Symphony No. 2 to its brilliant conclusion.
Program notes by Edgar Colon-Hernandez
Ivan Fischer's international career was launched at the age of twenty-five by capturing the Rupert Foundation Conducting Award -the young inspiring conductor immediately garnered critical praise during the engagements with all of the major British orchestras.
Ivan Fischer appears frequently in America, where he is principal guest con?ductor of the Cincinnati Symphony, and has appeared in recent seasons with die orches?tras of Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, Montreal, San Francisco, Minnesota and Pittsburgh. Maestro Fischer is regularly seen on the podiums of many of the world's leading orchestras including the Berlin Philharmonic, The Royal Concertgebouw, Chamber Orchestra of Europe, and the Orchestre National de France among others.
Maestro Fischer was music director of the Kent Opera for five seasons, and he has led three Mozart productions at the Vienna State Opera. In addition, he has conducted many of the leading Opera houses, includ?ing the Bastille Opera of Paris, The Royal Opera, Covent Garden and the operas of Brussels, Zurich, Frankfurt, Budapest and Stockholm.
Born into a musical family, he undertook early musical studies at the Bartok Conser?vatory in Budapest before going to Salzburg to study with Nikolaus Harnoncourt. He completed advanced studies at the Vienna Academy of Music where he graduated from the conducting class of Hans Swarowsky.
This performance marks Ivan Fischer's debut under UMS auspices.
Founded in 1983 by renowned conductor Ivan Fischer in collaboration with pianist and pedagogue Zoltan Kocsis, the Budapest Festival Orchestra has already developed into an acclaimed international touring orchestra and prize-winning recording ensemble.
Debuts in London, Vienna, Paris, along with the prestigious festivals of Lucerne and Salzburg, immediately established the young orchestra's remarkable artistic standard. The orchestra made their North American debut with a highly acclaimed residency at the Hollywood Bowl in July of 1994 under the baton of Principal Conductor Ivan Fischer, which resulted in an immediate invitation for their return in the summer of 1995.
In the fall of 1995, the orchestra made their Carnegie Hall debut in an all-Bartok program to honor the fiftieth anniversary of the death of the composer and performed similar commemorative concerts in Paris, Cologne, Frankfurt, and Brussels. Additional highlights of the orchestra's 1995-96 season include highly acclaimed performances in Vienna with pianist Andras Schiff as well as an extensive tour of Spain, Switzerland and Italy under the baton of the legendary Sir Georg Solti. The Budapest Festival Orchestra recently toured in Japan and they return to the United States in 1997 for this Ann Arbor concert, as well as engagements in Chicago and New York. In addition to their busy touring schedule, the orchestra offers a full series of concerts in Budapest at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music, featuring such celebrated soloists as Gidon Kremer and Andras Schiff.
The Budapest Festival Orchestra is fund?ed by the city of Budapest and receives gen?erous support from a number of Hungarian and international corporations.
This performance marks the debut of the Budapest Festival Orchestra under UMS auspices.

lthough The Real Group's recordings are frequently featured on radio stations through?out this country, the Swedish singing ensemble
is making its first extended tour of the United States this winter. Formed in Stockholm in 1984, the group of five singers has appeared in concerts and in clubs throughout Europe, with brief forays to the Far East, and to several cities in Canada and the States.
The five first met at Fredrik's Music School in Stockholm, but it was not until they all attended the Royal Academy of Music
that they created The Real Group. Singing without instrumental accompa?niment was at first a necessity, and then became a preference. So much so that they were able to give public con?certs to fulfill their Royal Academy course requirements.
The Real Group soon devel?oped a broad and diverse repertoire encompassing jazz, rock, pop, and even Latin American tunes. Their instru?mental imitations and vocal artistry have brought them to the forefront of the jazz and a cappella worlds. They j
have attracted the attention of such artists as The King's Singers, soprano Barbara Hendricks, and vocal virtuoso Bobby McFerrin, all of whom have performed in concert with The Real Group.
The Real Group bases its name on the "text" that the singers use in preparing con?cert material. In jazz parlance, the "fake book" is a massive accumulation of lead-sheets from songs covering the whole history of popular music. It gives the melody, basic harmony, rhythm and the lyrics for thousands of songs, and it is used by all jazz and pop musicians as the ultimate source book for
their work. It is entitled The Real Book, and hence, the group decided to
call itself The Real Group.
The Real Group makes its UMS debut in tonight's performance.

A Note from Anatoli Cheiniouk
Music is heard everywhere and always. Where there is no man, the wind touches the strings of the Aeolian harp. Where there are no strings, it is answered by the reed-pipe. The conch shells sing, the cliffs resound melodiously.
Where there is man, someone is whistling, making noise, snapping his fin?gers, clicking his tongue...but more impor?tantly, he is constantly listening, consciously or subconsciously to the sound of the har?mony which surrounds him.
Sometimes this harmony reaches a level at which it can be perceived by only a few: Mozart, Bach, Shostakovich....They put down on paper what they heard and we, using what they left us, perform it.
We of the Ars Poetica Chamber Orchestra are not simply a group of musi?cians, each of whom is a master of his or her own instrument. We are united by a com?mon understanding of what our music rep?resents. One can say that we are continually playing it together, although we live in Detroit, Chicago, Boston, or Cleveland. Even a family scattered across the world remains a family, continues to think related thoughts, to communicate wordlessly. We gather together, as we do today, to enjoy playing music in each other's company -and to convey that pleasure to you.
Symphony No. 29 in A Major, K.201
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Born on January 27, 1756 in Salzburg
Died on December 5, 1791 in Vienna
In the early 1770s, Mozart the child prodigy was transforming himself into the great composer we all know and love. The
transformation took place within a few short years, stimulated in part by three extended trips to Italy, taken by Mozart and his father between 1771 and 1773, and a ten-week stay in Vienna in the summer of 1773 during which the teen-ager got to know some of the most recent works of his future friend, Franz Joseph Haydn.
Having returned to Salzburg, Mozart took up his duties in the service of Archbishop Hieronymus Colloredo, and he quickly made a name for himself locally as a keyboard player and composer. The young Mozart had ample opportunity to refine his skill as a composer of symphonies, and to hear his works performed by the excellent archiepiscopal orchestra, as well as other venues in his native city. No wonder he wrote about thirty symphonies between 1770 and 1775, more than at any other time in his life. Some of these symphonies are among the earliest works to show Mozart in his full artistic maturity.
In his article on Mozart in The New drove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, Stanley Sadie called the A-Major symphony a "land?mark," and it is hard to disagree with his assessment. In this work Mozart enriched the established conventions of symphonic writing with individual strokes of genius to a quite unprecedented degree. The melodic material is more sharply defined than before, the thematic development more complex. Mozart's overflowing musical imagination requires substantial codas, that is, special extensions, in the first, second, and fourth movements, whereas such "tail?pieces" were not usually found in other sym?phonies of the time.
An unusual feature occurs right at the beginning of the symphony; instead of a fan?fare or other loud and energetic opening statement, we hear a descending octave leap played -significandy -piano by the first violins. This octave leap is the central idea for the entire movement; it is elaborated
contrapuntally, repeated in forte volume, and subjected to may other ingenious modifica?tions. Its assertive, somewhat "angular" char?acter contrasts with the more "rounded" sec?ondary theme and a light and playful clos?ing motif.
The second-movement "Andante" has the particularity of requiring mutes on the vio?lins. Like the opening movement, the Andante is in sonata form, with a second theme (an exceptionally lovely, lyrical idea), development section (with some harmonic and rhythmical excitement) and a recapitu?lation. For the last four measures of the con?cluding coda, the violins take off their mutes, and state the main theme in an ener?getic forte instead of the gentle piano that has prevailed throughout.
The third-movement "Menuetto" is based on an idea in dotted rhythm that is possibly an allusion to French style; some of the har?monic progressions are reminiscent of Baroque music. The most surprising ele?ment is the repeated-note fanfare at the end of the first phrase, played by two oboes and two horns while the strings are silent. It is answered by the strings playing the same repeated-note figure a step higher. The melody of the trio, or middle section, is scored for strings only, with the wind instru?ments merely supplying long-held pedal notes.
The "Finale"begins with the same descending octave we heard in the first movement, but it is now embedded in a theme with a different direction: instead of rising step-by-step in pitch, the melody shoots up like a rocket, introducing a move?ment in which even the lyrical second idea sustains a high level of excitement. The development section, with its distant modu?lations and elaborate counterpoint, is one of the most sophisticated Mozart had written to date. An unaccompanied, rapidly ascend?ing sixteenth-note scale ushers in the reca?pitulation, and reappears in the coda before
two energetic chords bring the symphony to an end.
Program note by Peter Laki
Violin Concerto No. i in C Major
Joseph Haydn
Born March 31, 1732 in Rohrau, Lower Austria
Died on May 31, 1809 in Vienna
Franz Joseph Haydn spent almost thirty years of his life in the service of Prince Nikolaus Esterhazy who resided in Eisenstadt, Austria, and in the new palace he built dur?ing the late 1760's and '70s at Eszterhaza, just across the Hungarian border. For the better part of the season, the composer was removed from the great musical centers but had the privilege of working with an excel?lent orchestra and many first-rate soloists the Prince had engaged. During the first years of his tenure at Eisenstadt (1761-65), Haydn wrote a series of concertos for some of these distinguished colleagues; die con?certo was a genre to which he was to con?tribute only sporadically during his later years.
The group of early concertos comprises six works for the organ, three for violin, and one each for horn, cello, and harpsichord. Of these works, the cello concerto in C Major is probably the best known, although the first of the violin concertos, written in the same key, is also heard with increasing frequency. (It is interesting that none of these works was printed until the twentieth century.)
The violin concertos were written for Luigi Tomasini (1741-1808), a native of Italy who had been in Esterhazy's service since his teens. He was concertmaster of the Prince's orchestra and the first violinist of die resident string quartet for which Haydn wrote his early quartets.
Haydn's early concertos are transitional works between the Baroque and the Classical concerto forms, and the present work is no exception. The first movement bears traces of the "ritornello" structure known from Vivaldi's and Bach's concertos. The melodic writing is also replete with Baroque turns, but some of the episodes already announce the incipient Classical style. The numerous double stops and pas?sages in the high register certainly venture far beyond standard Baroque concerto prac?tice. The second-movement "Adagio" begins and ends with a "curtain" consisting of an ascending F-Major scale played by the solo violin. The main body of the movement is made up of a single lyrical violin solo of sur?passing beauty. The cheerful and virtuosic finale again has its stylistic roots in the Baroque, but near the end there is a sur?prise that gives us a foretaste of the later Haydn.
Program note by Peter Laki
Symphony No. 45 in f-sharp minor (farewell)
Joseph Haydn
The Symphony, nicknamed the "Farewell", was composed for a special occasion. There are several versions of the story, but the most reliable is that Prince Nicolaus Esterhazy had overstayed his usual period at Esterhaza -the new Princely Castle -by rather a long time, and his musicians turned to Haydn, their conductor and "union representative" for help to getback to their homes and fami?lies at Eisenstadt. In response Haydn wrote this superb symphony with its double last movement during which one musician after another quietly leaves the stage. The Prince was delighted, took the hint, and the whole court departed the next day. But the passion and originality of the symphony transcends
any external circumstances. The symphony begins with a fiery "Allegro assai," which maintains its power and tension relentlessly, (the lyrical melody in the major key which lightens the middle section is soon thrust aside by the return of the opening theme, freely and powerfully expanded). The inno?vative pastoral start of the "Adagio," with its muted strings, belies the seriousness with which it evolves, moving through passages of haunting harmonic ambiguity. The "Minuet" offers brightness and contrast with its F-sharp Major tonality and its gleaming horn tone, but the underlying minor repeatedly breaks the surface. The finale is, in effect, two linked sonata-form movements. First comes the vigorously rhythmic "Presto"in the minor, then, in A Major, a gracious "Adagio " unfolds, fully scored at the outset, but gradually and unobtrusively shedding its instrument -winds first, then the double-bass as it moves, magically, into F-sharp Major; at last, only the two muted violins are left to bring die symphony to its close.
J rs Poetica Chamber
Orchestra is a unique
group of nationally and
into nationally fk acclaimed virtuosi from m L world famous symphony
JL. _H. orchestras, such as the
Boston Symphony, the Detroit Symphony, the Chicago Symphony, the Cleveland Orchestra, and the Dallas Symphony. They are united by their love of chamber music, a common understanding of what this music represents, and a dedication to its perfor?mance.
The name of this unique orchestra is derived from the work of the Roman poet Horace, entitled Ars Poelica, written in the First Century BC. Equilibrium, the main theme of this work, has been chosen by the orchestra as the vital and most important
characteristic, not only of the pieces selected for performance, but also of the make-up of the orchestra, of every individual program and of the long-term repertoire.
Clearly, all musicians and all orchestras strive toward this goal, but for Ars Poetica it is the motto.
Future performances of Ars Poetica Chamber Orchestra will feature world renowned guest soloists Yo-Yo Ma, Radu Lupu, Yefim Bronfman, and Emanuel Ax.
Tonight's performance marks the Ars Poetica Chamber Orchestra's debut under UMS auspices.
Anatoli Cheiniouk, Music Director and founder of Ars Poetica Chamber Orchestra, is a musician of great artistry and mastery. He is among the finest violinists produced by die Violin School in Russia.
Mr. Cheiniouk was a soloist and member of the Moscow Chamber Orchestra, found?ed and directed by Rudolf Barshai from 1968 until 1980. During these twelve years,
he performed return engagements in Western Europe, the US, Japan, Australia, and South America, and as a part of the major European festivals of Salzburg, Lucerne, Prague, and Edinburgh.
In the late 1970's Mr. Cheiniouk became a co-founder and a soloist of the Moscow Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra, directed by Vladimir Spivakov. From 1980 until 1985 when he came to the United States, he toured with this orchestra throughout Europe and Japan and participated in many festivals including Granada, Spain, Spring in Prague, and Tours, France.
His performances at many concerts, including participation in the premiere con?cert of the works of Dimitri Shostakovich, were critically acclaimed.
Anatoli Cheiniouk performed with the Moscow Chamber Orchestra at the opening of the Sydney Opera House, Australia, before her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth the Second, and many other royal families.
With Vladimir Spivakov and Yuli Turovsky, cello soloist of the Borodin Trio and Music Director of I Musici de Montreal, Anatoli Cheiniouk recorded works by Corelli, Vivaldi, Mozart, Schubert, and Bach. The recordings were produced by Melodiya Recording Company in Russia and Odyssey Recording Company in the US.
Ars Poetica Chamber Orchestra has been highly acclaimed and is a unique contribu?tion to music and this country.
This performance marks Anatoli Cheiniouk's debut under UMS auspices.

"" c( ause nl the historical A importance oi the pre-D miere of on tin-
F. Fields, iliis program ini ludes the original R miles and the comments ,Kmr thai Wynton Marsalis made on the work and its meaning. Nothing quite like it had ever been written, either by a jazz musician or one from another disci?pline. It was fitting that the opening night was on April Fool's Day, 1994, because Marsalis went beyond all that even those who most admired his writing expected of him. He reached a level of expression arrived at by only the very great artists, but the composer had achieved his new position through absolute contact with the mud and swamp water of the earth. At every turn, no matter how abstractly he might have han?dled his themes, his rhythms, and his orchestration, there was always something inside the writing that was very old and very profound, something that drew upon the vitality of the Negro spirituals and the blues, those musics of spiritual concern in religious and secular contexts.
Blood on the Fields was sold out both of its two nights, with many standing outside the hall hoping they might convince others who had seats to sell one or two of their tickets. Excitement put another layer of heat into the incipient spring night. The audience reflected the ethnic variety of Manhattan as well as the universal appeal of the music. As George Kanzler of the Newark Star Ledger reported, "It was one of those rare concerts where you knew something magnificent, even history-making, was taking place. At intermis?sion, the audience was buzzing widi excitement and by concert's end there was a palpable feeling of awe, of being almost overwhelmed by the sheer power of the music."
The epic length of the piece, nearly three hours, put it in a category beyond all other jazz composition. Where many had
fumbled before him, either out of lack of compositional skill or a tendency to preten?sion, Marsalis was showing how well all of the elements of jazz and its antecedents could work together. Marsalis used a jazz orchestra comprised of young musicians whom he had known almost since they began playing, musicians who were once no more than novices showing up at clinics or backstage following performances. They executed an extremely demanding score with valor and precision. Marsalis utilized the marvelous singing styles of Jon Hendricks, Cassandra Wilson, and Miles Griffith, each a representative of a specific era in jazz singing and jazz knowing. Hendricks, Wilson and Griffith reached levels of swing, tragedy, stoic lyricism and anger that were much deeper than what one is accustomed to in our time.
Marsalis was doing his own turn on the way Duke Ellington had used so many differ?ent styles for his 1943 historical masterpiece, Black, Brown, and Beige. But at thirty-two, neither Ellington nor anyone else had written a work this ambitious, primarily because they had neither the amount of music that Marsalis has to draw on -which is not only everything that came before Ellington, but everything that came in his wake. The result was that Marsalis, who had been in pitched battle with the critical establishment, won them over just as he did the audiences that stood shouting and clapping when the piece ended. The New York Times reported, "Wynton Marsalis' skills have grown as fast as his ambitions and he is the most ambitious younger composer in jazz...His music holds on to jazz fundamentals -blues and bal?lads, swing and Afro-Caribbean rhythms, call-and-response -while abstracting them into fast-mutating collages. With Bfood on the Fields, he also proves he can write melodies that sound natural for singers...Mr. Marsalis' ensembles bristle with polytonality, disso?nance and jagged, jumpy lines and counter melodies, but the rhythm section pushes
them along as if they were dance music... He comes up with elaborate structures and musicianly abstractions, but he also encour?ages old-fashioned jazz pleasures: snappy riffs, strutting syncopations, repartee between sections, competitive solos and the bedrock of the blues."
Blood on the Fields was the sort of across-the-board conquest that signals fresh possi?bilities in American art because, in a time of so much disorder, so many cliches, and such cynicism, the listener is ennobled by the experience of the music.
Who Ain't a Slave
(original notes on the program, April 1994)
The evolution of Wynton Marsalis as a composer is one of the forces that defines the quality of our American art. His body of work now stands above that of all but the most important writers of jazz music. Marsalis has taken on such a large position in the writing of jazz music because he is in possession of a very rich talent and has no difficulty perceiving what kind of a Western music jazz is. He understands how it combines African-derived ideas about per?cussion and European harmony, drawing its primary melodic sources from the uniquely American line of the blues on one hand and Negro spirituals on the other. He is also aware of the impact that jazz, blues, and spirituals had on the music of Tin Pan Alley and the impact Tin Pan Alley had on jazz.
One of the reasons Marsalis is so clear on the elements that give his art its identity is that he has not only worked with jazz mas?ters of every style but has had wide and suc?cessful experience in European concert music, performing everything from Bach to the avant garde of the twentieth century (the work of composers such as Stravinsky, Bartok, Stockhausen, Zwillich, and Ralph Shapey). That rich background has given
Marsalis a strong and thorough grounding; not a superficial perception of what consti?tutes modern music. This technical educa?tion has allowed Marsalis to grow ever stronger over the last fifteen years. The consistent growth of his mastery has been documented on nearly twenty albums, each addressing the basics of jazz with compositional variety and adventure. Over and over, one hears how clearly he has brought his own voice to the fundamentals that have given common?ality to the highly individual work of the finest jazz musicians -44 swing (fast, medium, and slow), the blues, ballads, and Afro-Hispanic rhythms (what Jelly Roll Morton heard as an essential "Spanish tinge").
In Blue Interlude, he went beyond even the best jazz writers of the fifties and the six?ties to create a form for a small group that lasted nearly fourty minutes but maintained cohesion through thematic and harmonic control. In Citi Movement, his ballet for Garth Fagan, he wrote a three-movement symphony for seven pieces, a two-hour work that had no precedent. In This HouseOn This Morningwas commissioned by Jazz at Lincoln Center in 1992 and found Marsalis working with a structure based on the Afro-American church service, exceeding in qual?ity and complexity previous jazz pieces that built their foundations on the music of the Negro church. In This House was a whole work, not a group of pieces that had no for?mal relationship to each other. For a collabo?ration with the New York City Ballet, Marsalis wrote Jazz (Six Syncopated Movements). It used riotous dissonance, marches, railroad train onomatopoeia, ballroom lines, and ragtime to give another form to the composer's epic understanding of American life and history.
Tonight we will hear Marsalis' first extended composition for large jazz band. He calls it Blood on the Fields and explains that American slavery is its subject. Slavery was the buzzard pecking at the liver of the Constitution, and its shadow, like a dark
virus, infected everything it touched. It made America schizoid, touched off increasingly hostile debate, challenged the Christian underpinnings of universal humanism, inspired the abolition movement, made vis?ceral every national shortcoming. That is why Marsalis is convinced that much of our iden?tity as Americans is the result of what slavery meant to our country -its social contract, its laws, its politics, its literature, its military history, its theater, its film. The issues sur?rounding slavery led to the Civil War, to Reconstruction, and the ninety-year-long struggle to take the Constitution south, resulting in the Civil Rights Movement, our second Civil War.
But the subject of American slavery is much more than a tale of racial degradation. To leave it there is to trivialize what it meant and should mean. No, American slavery isn't the rhetorical football sentimentalists, hysterics, and demagogues so easily kick around. It was a long tragic condition that continues to loom larger than slaves them?selves. As a genuine tragedy, slavery is a pris?matic metaphor through which we can see beyond color by seeing all colors. American issues of labor, of gender, of the exploitation of children, and, finally, of human rights within this society are traceable back to that phenomenon, for it defined every inadequacy that was allowed to exist within the United States. The "peculiar institution" raised high the central issue facing civilization under capitalism, which is bringing together morality and the profit motive. Slavery also found in its opponents a deeper understand?ing of the meaning of democracy and inspired actions that helped define the ethical grandeur of courage within our culture. It is, therefore, a metaphor for every question of unfairness and every question of servitude. As Herman Melville wrote in Moby Dick, understanding this well, "Who ain't a slave"
Of the work, Marsalis says,
"It starts on a slave ship during the mid?dle passage. We meet two Africans, Jesse and Leona, who until being forced into the equality of a tragic circumstance, occupied very different stations in life -he a prince; she a commoner. They get sold to the same plantation and are chained together on a coffle. Jesse gets wounded trying to escape, and in order to survive the journey to his new home (for lack of a better term), he has to lean on Leona. When they arrive, he doesn't even thank her for saving his life. He has been a prince in Africa, so perhaps it was beneath his noble station to express gratitude to a commoner. But one thing is apparent, he's caught up in the injustice of his circumstance. For him, freedom is a purely personal thing. He needs to have his understand?ing expanded, and Leona is equipped with the tools to do the job.
"Eventually, Jesse goes to seejuba, a wise man posing as a fool. And Juba tells him that he needs to do three things. He has to love his new land, he has to learn how to sing with soul, and he has to learn who he will be when free -what will he call himself Nigger, colored, Negro, black, Afro-American, African-American or the next name (maybe just American). Juba's advice sounds too "Uncle Tom-ish."Jesse escapes and gets caught. He has a painful awakening under the bite of the lash. This convinces him to trans?form his attitude and ultimately his character. This transformation is com?plete when he sings the blues chant, "oh, anybody hear this plaintive song. Oh, who wants to help their brother dance this dance Oh, I sing with soul, heal this wounded land." Blood on the Fields details in music what I feel it takes to achieve soul: the willingness to address adversity with elegance." Program Notes OStanley Crouch
First formed in 1988, the iLincoln Center Jazz Orchestra (LCJO) is the official "house band" for Jazz at Lincoln Center activi?ties. Under the direction of Wynton Marsalis, the orches?tra is dedicated to developing a performance repertory of historic compositions and newly-commissioned works for big band. The LCJO specializes in the music of Duke Ellington, and its annual presentation of Ellington's music at Lincoln Center has become a cultural highlight of New York City. The LCJO annually tours the United States and has also performed across Europe and Asia. Their music is document?ed on three recordings produced by Jazz, at Lincoln Center for ColumbiaSony Music, including Portraits by Ellington (1992), The Fire oj the Fundamentals (1993), and They Came to Swing (1994).
Performance highlights include concerts in The Hollywood Bowl, Vienna Opera House, Chicago's Orchestra Hall, Tanglewood, London's Royal Festival Hall, and the Symphony Halls of Boston, Atlanta, Detroit, Munich, and Hong Kong. The orchestra has appeared on television broadcasts in France, Spain, Finland, Germany, and the Czech Republic, and has also appeared on Live From Lincoln Center and the Tonight Show. Along the way, the LCJO has performed numerous concerts for young people and has conducted workshops and master classes for students at universities and high schools nationwide.
The historic repertory of the LCJO includes compositions and arrangements by Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Fletcher Henderson, Sy Oliver, Thelonious Monk, Mary Lou Williams, Dizzy Gillespie, Jay McShann, Benny Goodman, Charles Mingus, Bennie Moten, Eddie Durham, Edgar Sampson, Eddie Sauter, Woody Herman,
John Lewis, and others. Jazz at Lincoln Center has commissioned works for the LCJO from Benny Carter, Joe Henderson, Jimmy Heath, Chico O'Farrill, Freddie Hubbard, Wynton Marsalis, Christian McBride, and Stephen Scott. Guest conductors for the LCJO have included Benny Carter, Jon Faddis, Robert Sadin, David Berger, and Loren Schoenberg.
Tonight's performance marks the fourth appearance of the LCJO under UMS auspices.
Wynton Marsalis (Conductor, Trumpet) was born in New Orleans, the cradle of jazz, on October 18, 1961. He began taking the trumpet seriously at age twelve, when he started classical training. As a young musi?cian he acquired quality experience in local marching bands, jazz bands, funk bands, and classical youth orchestras. At age eigh?teen he entered Thejuilliard School, and was soon recognized as its most impressive trumpeter. Later that year, he continued his schooling when he joined Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. In 1982, Mr. Marsalis began his recording career as a leader. Over the last fourteen years he has produced a
catalogue of outstand?ing recordings, winning numerous awards including eight Grammy Awards and eight hon?orary doctorate degrees. He has maintained a relentless performance schedule with his vari?ous working groups,
and his interest in composition has resulted in a prolific body of work.
Mr. Marsalis has played a critical role in awakening the consciousness of a new gen?eration of fans and fellow musicians. As Artistic Director oijazz at Lincoln Center and conductor of the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra (LCJO), he has helped establish a standard of excellence in jazz presentation. Other commissioned works include 1992's In The House, On This Morning, which explored
WYNTON MARSALIS
the structure of a traditional church service and how the church has played an integral role in the development of jazz music. In 1993, Mr. Marsalis collaborated with Peter Martins, Ballet Master-in-Chief at New York City Ballet, to produce Jazz: Six Syncopated Movements. In the 1995 collaboration between Jazz at Lincoln Center and The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Mr. Marsalis com?posed his first string quartet, At The Octoroon Balls, utilizing such motifs as Creole dances and runaway trains. Recently, Mr. Marsalis completed Sxueet Release, a new ballet for jazz orchestra choreographed by Judith Jamison for Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and the LCJO, which premiered in August 1996 as part of Lincoln Center Festival '96.
Mr. Marsalis has attained world class prominence as both a musician and a spokesman for music education. He regularly lectures and conducts master classes for stu?dents of all ages and interests, including his popular Jazz for bung People series produced by Jazz at Lincoln Center. His devotion to edu?cation led him to 1995's Sony Classical pro?duction of Marsalis on Music for the Public Broadcasting System (PBS) and 1996's Peabody Award winning Making the Music series for National Public Radio (NPR). Mr. Marsalis also wrote a companion book to the PBS series for W.W. Norton. This comes on the heels of his first book, a collaboration with photographer Frank Stewart entided Sweet Swing Blues On The Road.
In June of 1996, Time magazine listed Marsalis as one of "America's 25 Most Influential People," and Life magazine's July 1996 issue named him one of "The 50 Most Influential Boomers." His continuing efforts in the crusade to heighten jazz awareness in America and overseas make him one of the most unique citizens of our time.

Ford 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.
