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 die 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

Over the course of his 25 years at the Musical Society, he has sold tickets to 1,319 UMS events, as well as the Ann Arbor Summer Festival. A walking archive, Michael is a veritable repository of information relating to the Musical Society and its illustrious history. IN RECOGNITION of the outstanding service Michael has given thousands of ticket buyers over the years, always with a twin?kle in his eyes (and usually with a
smile on his face!), the University Musical Society would like to invite you, the patrons he has served so devotedly, to contribute toward the purchase of a seat in Hill Auditorium in his honor. We are sure that Michael would be pleased with this tribute to his ser?vice over the past quarter-century. The staff of the Musical Society is also compiling a 25 Year Anniversary Book, filled with con?gratulatory letters from patrons,
remembrances and mementos. We hope that you will help us honor Michael by sending anything you think appropriate, to contribute, please make your check payable to the University Musical Society -Michael Gowing Seat. You may mail your contribution or letters anytime through June 1997 to University Musical Society, Burton Memorial Tower, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1270.
All contributions are tax deductible to the amount allowed by law.
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 gready 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, die 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.
Thomas Sheets conducting Messiah with the UMS Choral Union
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.
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 Chloe and Prokofiev's Aleksandr Nevsky. In 1995, the Choral Union began an artistic association with the Toledo Symphony, inaugurating the partnership widi 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 odier 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 Beedioven. The following evening featured Verdi's "Manzoni" Requiem, a work that has been performed frequendy throughout die 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,
Hill auditorium
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

The New Acura 2.2CL
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 die 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 die 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
power center
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
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 widi 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 cappeUa 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': roster.
Allen Pond & Pond, Martin & Lloyd, a Chicagc 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 majo facelift in 1979. In 1995, the proscenium curtair was replaced, new carpeting installed, and die 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 Yo Can't Take It With You and Harvey, which starred Helen Hayes and Jimmy Stewart.
The University Musical Society's presentatioi 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 (Januar 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 die 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 oi
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, the City of Ann Arbor, and the 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 the 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

Partita No.4 in D Major,
BWV 828
Johann Sebastian Bach
Born on March 21, 1685 in Eisenach
Died on July 28, 1750 in Leipzig
In the world's first dictionary of music, published by Johann Gottfried Walther (1732), the entry on Johann Sebastian Bach includes mention of only one set of compo?sitions: the six partitas for keyboard, the only works by Bach then in print. Walther was a cousin of Bach's and therefore may have had more knowledge about Bach's works than he let on in his dictionary entry. Yet for many music-lovers outside Leipzig, who had never heard the Thomaskantor improvise on the organ or direct one of his cantatas on Sunday morning, the 1731 publication of the six partitas, as "Op. 1," provided the first glimpse of the fourty-six-year-old master whose virtuosity on the keyboard was already legendary throughout the German lands.
Actually, the publication of the partitas had begun in 1726. Bach had been bringing out one partita every year, printed at his own expense, and eventually issued a col?lected edition when the set was complete. The title-page read: "Keyboard Practice [Clavir-Ubung] consisting of Preludes, Allemades, Courantes, Sarabandes, Gigues, Minuets and other Galanteries composed for the pleasurable diversion of music-lovers by Johann Sebastian Bach, Acting chapel master to the Court of Saxe-Weisenfels and Conductor of the Leipzig Musical Choir." Bach eventually published three more vol?umes of Keyboard Practice which include such masterpieces as the Italian Concerto and the Goldberg Variations; a fifth volume, containing The Art of Fugue, was left unfinished at the time of Bach's death.
The partitas are akin to Bach's earlier English and French suites for keyboard but, in the words of David Schulenberg (Tlie Keyboard Music of J.S. Bach, Schirmer, 1992), "the technical demands are greater...most of the dances are longer and diverge even far-
ther from the traditional models than in the previous set[s]."
In this D-Major work, which Schulenberg calls "the most splendid of the Partitas," Bach took greater liberties with the tradi?tional dance forms than anywhere else. In several of the partitas, the opening prelude has been expanded into a larger form, as in the "Sinfonia" of No.2 or the "Toccata" of No.6. The "Overture" of No.4 is perhaps the most elaborate of them all, beginning with a grandiose slow introduction featuring the typical dotted rhythms of French baroque overtures and continuing with an extended fugal section. The "Allemande" and the "Courante" are both highly unusual: the first, instead of moving in equal sixteenth-notes as allemandes normally do, presents a beautifully ornamented and freely meander?ing melodic line, while the second enlivens the pattern of the French courante with many metric ambiguities (which would make it very difficult indeed to dance to!) and with a persistently returning "trumpet-call" motif. Next comes an "Aria," a short piece that is not a dance but similar in style to the first movement of the Italian Concerto. The "Sarabande" becomes another richly ornamented instrumental song. The dance character is much clearer in the "Menuet," even though this movement also has its share of ornamental figurations. The "Gigue," like many of Bach's gigues, is a fugal movement whose energetic theme is elaborated in three-part counterpoint.
Four Piano Pieces, Op.i 19 Six Piano Pieces, Op.i 18
Johannes Brahms Born on May 7, 1833 in Hamburg Died on April 3, 1897 in Vienna
Brahms wrote most of his works for solo piano either very early or very late in his career (with only the Eight Piano Pieces, Op.76 and the Two Rhapsodies, Op.79 falling
into his middle years). In the early works, which include the three great sonatas and several sets of brilliant variations, he made the classical piano tradition thoroughly his own and established his reputation as the heir to Beethoven's mantle. In the late piano music, written in die early 1890s, Brahms aimed at something far more per?sonal: die pieces convey an image of the composer withdrawn from die world and playing to himself or a few of his closest friends such as Clara Schumann. Most of the twenty short pieces published as Opp.116-119 are lyrical and introspective in charac?ter; many of diem are called "intermezzi" not because they come between two larger works but because the name connotes some?thing light, transient, and indefinite. Some of die pieces, like the more energetic "Ballade" (Op.1183) and "Rhapsody" (Op.1194), hark back to die earlier Brahms, but even diey have a certain autumnal quality about diem.
In Op.119, die final Rhapsody is preceded by diree intermezzi. The first, in b minor, is dreamy and has a sustained slow modon going all die way through; die second, in e minor, is "un poco agitato" (slighdy agitated) widi a tenderly lyrical E-Major middle section, and the third, in C Major, begins like a gen-de lullaby (widi die melody in the middle voice) diough it becomes more grandiose as it evolves. The Rhapsody takes the form of a Rondo, widi a muscular main dieme and more graceful episodes. Its main key is E-Flat Major, but surprisingly, it ends widi a dramat?ic outburst in e-flat minor (works in minor keys often end in die major, but die reverse is much less frequent).
The six pieces of Op.118 consist of four intermezzi, a "Ballade" (No.3) and a "Romance" (No.5). No.l (a minor) is filled with that well-controlled passion diat is one of the defining traits of Brahms' music. No.2 (A Major), marked "teneramente" (tenderly), is one of die most intimate pieces of music
ever written. In No.3, "Ballade" in g minor, has a strongly profiled main theme and an ethereally soft middle section in the distant key of B Major. The recapitulation of the main theme is followed by a faint reminis?cence of the middle section returns as a wistful epilog. After three eminently melod?ic pieces, No.4 (f minor) is a haunting study in textures and colors. No.5, "Romance" in F Major, is in A-B-A form like the "Ballade," but despite the changes in key and meter, the mood is expressive and lyrical through?out. The "Intermezzo" in e-flat minor (No.6) is arguably the most extraordinary piece in the set. Brahms' first biographer, Max Kalbeck, believed it was intended for a never-to-be-written Fifth Symphony. Its wavering melody starts with the first four notes of the Dies irae. The doleful theme eventually gives way to a poignant rhythmical idea that grows in volume. At the climactic moment, the Dies irae theme returns fortissimo, followed by a more peaceful recapitulation.
Sonata in c minor, Op.i i 1
Ludurig van Beethoven
Born on December 15 or 16, 1770 in Bonn
Died on March 26, 1827 in Vienna
This last of Beethoven's thirty-two piano sonatas occupies a special chapter in the his?tory of Western music and intellectual thought. It has given rise to myriads of inter?pretations, most of which agree that Beethoven moved here into a transcendent realm that has rarely been reached by musicians, or anyone else for that matter. The ascent from the turmoil of the opening to the ethereal calm of the conclusion -an ascent directly mirrored by the registers of the piano used -is so palpable that for once, no one seems to question that there is something essential here that points beyond the "purely musical." Commentators have used various metaphors to express the complementary
nature of the two movements: "resistance" and "submission," "here" and "beyond," or, to use a Buddhist analogy first invoked more than a hundred years ago: "Samsara" (desiring, becoming) and "Nirvana" (transcendence of desire, pure being).
Op.lll, completed in 1822, is in only two movements, and it has often been asked why Beethoven had not written a finale. Beethoven himself, with characteristic sarcasm (which some have missed), remarked that "he had had no time," adding that he had expanded the second movement instead. Yet to suppose that the sonata could have a third movement would be to miss the point completely; the most beautiful demonstra?tion of this can be found in Thomas Mann's novel Doktor Faustus, where a fictional music professor, Wendell Kretzschmar, delivers an eloquent lecture on the subject (hampered only occasionally by his violent stuttering). Kretzschmar concludes that after the "part?ing" in the second movement, there could never be a return, and the second movement represents not only a farewell to the piece, but "a farewell to sonata form."
Although others have written sonatas after Beethoven's Op.lll, it is true that the genre has never been quite the same again. The discovery that a sonata didn't have to end loud and fast (a discovery anticipated in the E-Major sonata, Op. 109) but could instead be adapted to express unique feelings changed musical thinking in fundamental ways. In his last sonata, Beethoven left tradi?tional conventions far behind and in the solitude of his deafness wrote some of his most personal and most heart-rending music.
The first movement continues the "tragic" c-minor mood of such earlier works as the Fifth Symphony or the Coriolan Overture. This is a memory of Beethoven's "heroic" period -music of conflicts, struggle, temporary respites and dramatic surges. The ending, however -soft and mysterious instead of powerful and sweeping -leaves no doubt
that times have irrevocably changed. The pianissimo last chord of the movement (identical to the first chord of the "Arietta") forms a natural bridge to the magical second movement.
The tempo marking, "Adagio molto, semplice e cantabile," never changes, but the note values gradually become shorter and shorter so that the pace of the music seems to increase enormously. The movement is a theme and variations, a form Beethoven had often used since the beginning of his career; yet he gave variation form an entirely new meaning here. In the course of only five variations, the simple theme of the "Arietta" becomes a statement of unprece?dented sublimity at the end of the sonata. The utter simplicity of the theme allows for a "transfiguration of the commonplace," which has been said to be one of the charac?teristic features of mystical experience. In the course of its evolution, the theme moves faster and faster (a classic variation technique, yet it sounds completely new here!). At the end of the fourth variation, the long-sustained trill (a favorite Beethovenian device since, at least, the "Waldstein" Sonata) appears, and -following a temporary removal into a for?eign key -die continuous trills in die high register carry die sonata to its apodieosis-like conclusion.
In DoklorFaustus, Kretzschmar set words to the opening dieme of die Adagio: "Fare thee well," "Heaven's blue." In the final vari?ation, he heard "Great was God in us," "Twas all a dream." And who would deny that there is in fact something of an eternal ending in die whispered final measures of Beethoven's last sonata
Program notes by Peter Laki Cleveland, Ohio, 1997
j ichard Goode has been A hailed foi music-making m oi tremendous emotional B power, depth, and
k expressivity and has been k acknowledged worldwide ?fl. H as one of today's lead?ing interpreters of the music of Beethoven. In regular performances with the major orchestras, recitals in the world's music capi?tals, and acclaimed recordings, he has won a large and devoted following, including scores of fellow musicians. In an extensive profile in The New Yorker, David Blum wrote: "What one remembers most from Goode's playing is not its beauty -exceptional as it is -but his way of coming to grips with the composer's central thought, so that a work tends to make sense beyond one's previous perception of it...The spontaneous formulat-
ing process of the creator [becomes] tangible in the concert hall."
A native of New York, Goode studied with Elvira Szigeti and Claude Frank, with Nadia Reisenberg at the Mannes College of Music, and with Rudolf Serkin at the Curtis Institute. He has won many prizes, including the Young Concert Artists Award, first prize in the Clara Haskil Competition, the Avery Fisher Prize, and a Grammy Award with clarinetist Richard Stoltzman. Richard Goode's remark?able interpretations of Beethoven came to national attention in 1986 when he played all five concern with the Baltimore Symphony under David Zinman, and again during the 1987-88 season, when he performed the complete cycle of sonatas at New York's 92nd Street Y and Kansas City's Folly Theater.
Richard Goode has made more than two dozen recordings, including Mozart, Lieder of Schubert, Brahms,
and Wolf with Benita Valente, and chamber and solo works of Brahms, Schubert, Schumann, and George Perle. Goode is the first American-born pianist to have recorded the complete Beethoven Sonatas, which were nominated for a 1994 Grammy Award. His recordings of these works have become a favorite of record buyers around the world.
Highlights of recent seasons have includ?ed first-time appearances with the orchestras of Boston, Chicago, and Cleveland as well as return engagements with New York and Philadelphia. Other orchestral appearances have included Atlanta, Dallas, Detroit, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Minnesota, and Canada's National Arts Centre Orchestra. In Europe, Goode appeared with the Berlin Radio Symphony, the Finnish Radio Symphony, and on a tour of Germany with
Richard coode
the Bamberg Symphony. His eagerly await?ed, standing-room-only Carnegie Hall recital debut in December of 1990 was cited as a "Best of the Year" in the New York Times year-end wrap-up. His subsequent annual New York recitals at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, the Metropolitan Museum, and the 92nd Street Ys Tisch Center have also been hailed as highlights of the season.
Highlights of Richard Goode's 1996-97 season include festival appearances at Ravinia with the Chicago Symphony; at Tanglewood with the Boston Symphony Orchestra; at London's Proms with the BBC Symphony; and at the Berlin Festival with the Deutsches Symphonie Orchester. Further orchestral appearances include the Bamberg Symphony; the Minnesota
Orchestra; and the NHK Symphony Orchestra and the Stuttgart Radio Orchestra. He also gives recitals in the major centers of North America, Europe, and Japan, including this Ann Arbor recital and recitals in New York, Chicago, Boston, London, Paris, Munich, and Tokyo. He con?tinues a project to perform and record twelve Mozart concertos with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra over the next few sea?sons.
Richard Goode lives in New York City with his wife, violinist Marcia Weinfeld.
Richard Goode made his UMS debut in February 1969 as a part of Music from Marlboro. Tonight's performance marks his fourth appear?ance under UMS auspices.

Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom, Op. 41
Piotr llyich Tchaikovsky
Born on May 7, 1840 in Votkinsk,
Viatka district (Russia) Died on November 6, 1893 in St. Petersburg
Arranged by Alexander Sedov
The basis for Tchaikovsky's creativity was secular music -symphonies, operas, bal?lets, romances. At the same time, Tchaikovsky was very interested in Russian church choral singing as part of Russian national culture. Tchaikovsky was a member of the Overseeing Council of the Moscow Synodal school and choir. He wrote several sacred compositions: Liturgia, Op. 41, Ail-Night Vigil, Op. 52.
The Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom for four part mixed chorus was written by Tchaikovsky as a free standing sacred-music composition (not only for liturgical use) and was published in 1879 by the largest music publishing house of Russia, headed by P. Yurgenson in Moscow. The first Liturgy was performed as a concert of sacred music in
A Note On The Costumes
The Choir's Formal Kaftan
In the first half of the concert, the singers perform in formal kaftans of the Moscow Synodal Choir (as worn at the end of the nineteenth cen?tury). The sketches for these costumes were done by the great Russian painter 'Vasnetsov. The cut of the kaftans is based on old photographs. The color of the kaftans changed depending on the occasion: for formal, holiday ser?vices, the kaftans were crimson, cerise, deep blue, green, and other bright shades. Black was worn only for funeral services.
the Hall of the Moscow Conservatory in November 1880. For a very long time the Liturgy was not performed in church, because the hierarchy of the Church found it not conforming to Orthodox church ser?vices. However, the Liturgy was of great importance in the creative development of Russian composers who wrote sacred music. This Liturgy consists of fifteen parts. The arrangement for male chorus was made by Alexander Sedov in May 1996 and is being performed for the first time. The traditional intonations used by die priest and the dea?con in the Orthodox church service between the different parts of the Liturgy that are performed in this concert, are absent in the original score by Tchaikovsky. The concert performance includes only the main chants of the Liturgy. All texts of Russian sacred chants are sung in Church Slavonic.

Blessed is the Man
(A chant of the Monastery of the Caves
[Pechera] in Kiev)
Ninteenth Century Anonymous
Kievan chant appeared in Russia at the end of the sixteenth and beginning of the seventeenth centuries. The characteristic trait of the Kievan chant is the brevity and simplicity of its melody. In the nineteenth century, monophonic Kievan chants were harmonized along the models of classic European harmony. Since the nineteenth century and to this day, Kievan chants are frequently used during religious services in the Monastery of the Caves in the center of Kiev.
Blessed is the man. Alleluia.
That hath not walked in the counsel of the
ungodly. Alleluia.
For the Lord knoweth the way of the right?eous, and the way of the ungodly shall
perish. Alleluia. Work for the Lord with fear and rejoice in
Him with trepidation. Alleluia. Blessed art all who putteth their hope in
Him. Alleluia. Glory to the Father and to the Son, and to
the Holy Spirit. Alleluia. Now and for ever and unto the ages of ages,
amen. Alleluia. Now and for ever and unto the ages of ages,
amen. Alleluia. Now and for ever and unto the ages of ages,
amen. Alleluia.
We praise Thee, O God
Dimitri Bortniansky
This composition belongs to the genre of liturgical concert: a secular polyphonic composition for choir, written to religious text, usually adapted. "Glory to God in the highest" is performed as a prichasten, i.e., before the rite of Confession on high holy days, for example, at Easter.
E. Azeev (1851-1918) adapted this work for male choir. The text of this composition is the Song of St. Ambrosius, Bishop of Mediolansk.
We praise Thee, O God; we acknowledge
Thee to be the Lord. All the earth doth worship Thee, the Father
everlasting. To Thee all angels call aloud; the Heavens,
and all the Powers there. To Thee Cherubim and Seraphim
continually cry out: Holy, Holy, Holy. Lord God of Sabaoth! Heaven and earth are
full with the Majesty of Thy Glory. The glorious company of Apostles praises
Thee, The goodly fellowship of the Prophets praises
Thee,
The noble army of Martyrs praises Thee, The Holy Church throughout all the world
doth acknowledge Thee, The Father of an infinite Majesty, Thine
adored, True and Only-begotten Son.
The male choir Chorovaya Akademia was founded in Moscow in 1989 under the direction of Alexander Sedov. The members of the ensemble are each professional musicians -virtually all are graduates of the Moscow or St. Petersburg conservatories -with a deep commitment to choral singing. The choir has been heralded for its brilliant technique, wide range of vocal tim?bres, and impassioned interpretations.
Mr. Sedov, born in 1961 into a musical family, received his training at the Sveshnikov Academy and the Moscow Conservatory, where he studied conducting with Professor Tevlin. His extensive experience as a choral conductor includes work on numerous arrangements and transcriptions for men's choir.
The repertoire of the Chorovaya Akademia includes both ecclesiastical and secular works from different historical peri?ods. Its liturgical repertoire emphasizes the rich tradition of Russian orthodox music of the late nineteenth and early twentieth cen?turies, notably the composers associated with the Moscow Synoday School, a choral academy that later merged with the Moscow Conservatory. This group of musiciancom?posers, whose works incorporate modern musical styles into the traditional orthodox liturgical forms, includes Alexander Kastalsky, Pavel Chesnokov, Nikolai Golovanov, and Alexander Gretchaninov. The choir's secular repertoire includes compositions by Russian composers such as Sergei Taneyev and Tchaikovsky as well as genre and folk pieces from the comic to the meditative.
The Chorovaya Akademia has performed throughout Russia and in the leading con?cert halls and museums of Moscow. It has given concerts at the annual International Festivals of Orthodox Music in Moscow and has been a participant in the Moscow Charitable Movement. Its highly successful European concerts have included a
Christmas program prepared by Justus Franz in Germany. In May 1991 the choir was awarded first prize at the "Black Madonna" International Festival of Religious Music in Poland, and later returned to Poland with equal success at the "Muzika Antiqua" festi?val in September 1991. Its debut American tour in 1993 was also met with exceptional acclaim.
This performance marks Chorovaya Akademia's UMS debut.

SCHUBERT MEMORIAL -VIENNA
String Quartet in a minor, D. 804
Once heard, the pianissimo opening of Schubert's a-minor Quartet is never forgot?ten. The accompaniment combines a wan?dering stream of eighth notes in the second violin with throbbing pizzicatos in the viola and cello. The melody, "sung" by the first violin, respects the range of the human voice. Its first, tiny phrases sink dejectedly, but the singer takes deeper breaths, and the song gathers strength. An A-Major variant soars to forte -and is suddenly terminated by a fortissimo a minor cadence. The remain?der of the entire spacious movement can be heard as a struggle to reconstitute a shel?tered lyric dream. The second subject restores the opening texture of intimacy. The intervening episodes, employing the motivic trill, are violent and argumentative.
In the development section, these contrasts heighten, then resolve to a magically quies?cent recapitulation. But the coda is not paci?fying. Returning once more to the quartet's hypnotic starting point, it struggles to repeat the ascent to A Major -and cannot. The last cadence asserts the finality of the a-minor trill.
The second movement, a C Major "Andante," appropriates a well-known tune from Schubert's Rosamunde-the Entr'acte No. 3. (Schubert used a similar theme in his B-flat Impromptu, D. 935.) In the string quartet, the structure falls into two parts, of which the second begins by subjecting the Rosamunde tune to a fleet, twisting accompa?niment in the second violin destined to take on a life of its own. An expanded and agitat?ed variant of part one ensues, during which the G-Major second subject moves to the tonic.
The second movement's quiet C-Major cadence falls to a minor to commence the next movement -the "Menuetto: Allegretto" whose key, it turns out, is again in C Major. Here, Schubert's harmonic feints fail to evade a prevailing pensiveness and indecision. The central trio, in A Major, offers respite -and also a seductive rocking motion. What Schubert may have intended by this may perhaps be gleaned from the 1819 song, Die Glitter Griechenlands (The Gods of Greece), which the minuet theme quotes; it begins, "Schone Welt, wo bist du" (Fair world, where are you).
To conclude the a-minor Quartet, Schubert opts for an A-Major rondo largely untroubled by what has gone before. If the slowish minuet suggested a sublimated folk dance, here the main tune springs straight from a tavern fiddle. As the music gathers steam, the first violin superimposes skittish triplets in sixteenth notes. The triplets spread to the other three instruments, sud?denly intensifying the texture. A. fortissimo climax abruptly stills the dancers. For a moment, the plaintive intimacy of movement one is recalled -after which the dance
recommences. A teasing and high-spirited coda, aswirl with triplets, drives the work to a close.
SCHWANENGESANG, D. 957
(Texts by Ludurig Rellstab)
Schwanengesang (Swan Song) was not Schubert's idea. Its fourteen songs were posthumously collected, and titled, by the publisher Tobias Haslinger. Weeks after Schubert died, his brother Ferdinand sold to Haslinger the last three piano sonatas, six settings of poems by Heinrich Heine and seven by Ludwig Rellstab. As likely as not, Schubert had intended to publish the Heine and Rellstab songs as separate sets. Haslinger packaged all thirteen together, added Schubert's last song, Die Taubenpost (Pigeon Post, text byjohann Gabriel Seidl), and pre?sented the entirety as Schwanengesang in May 1829. In an announcement, he wrote: These are the tone-poems [Schubert] wrote in August 1828, shortly before his death; works that demonstrate most convincingly the commitment of his richly gifted mastery, so that we are tempted to believe that this genius, cut off in the full flower of life, raised itself to new richness and power so as to leave behind a gift truly worthy of his farewell."
We now doubt that all the Schwanengesang songs were in fact composed in August 1828. And yet Haslinger's grouping, however com?mercially inspired, has endured -to this day, we hear Schwanengesang performed as a third Schubert cycle, with the songs in Haslinger's sequence. The presentation of Schwanengesang here, however, is more in keeping with Schubert's likely intentions: the Rellstab and Heine songs will be per?formed separately over two evenings (Seidl's Die Taubenpost will not be performed). Tonight we hear the Rellstab songs.
The Rellstab songs are a varied group. The rippling Liebesbotschaft (Love's Message)
is a luscious example of a type of Schubert love-song we associate with brooks in gener?al, and with the brook of Die schone MiiUerin in particular -in contrast with the more breadiless ardor of Friihlingssehnsucht (Spring Longing). Kriegers Ahnung (Warrior's Foreboding) looks back to Schubert's narra?tive songs, little heard today, whose sectional structure dramatizes shifting moods and events. Abschied (Farewell) is an invigoratingly blithe horseback song, demonstrating Schubert's mastery of perpetual motion. Aufenthalt (Resting Place) and In derFerne (Far Away) are wanderer songs, of which the throbbing accompaniment to the first (another perpetual motion) partakes of the c-minor Impromptu, and the grave melody of die second recalls Der Wanderer (The Wanderer) of 1816, and its offshoot, die Wanderer Fantasy.
If all diese songs seem shadowed by pre?cursors, the most magical, most famous of the Rellstab songs, Stdndchen (Serenade), casts its shadow on all other lover's sere?nades. Its ravishing tune is merely the most obvious of its virtues. The play of major and minor, pervading the song, layers its emo?tional content. The piano participates in this oscillation of d minor, D Major, and F Major, commenting, advising, and singing along. In fact, the song is a lover's duet with his guitar. The final whispered feint toward the minor -the errant B-flat darkening "begliicke mich" (make me happy!) -is either delicious or forlorn. In other words, this sere?nade is casual, or earnesdy heartfelt, or ironic.

Songs to texts by Ludwig Rellstab
LlEBESBOTSCHAFT
Rauschendes Bachlein, so silbern und hell, Eilst zur Geliebten so munter und schnell Ach, trautes Bachlein, mein Bote sei du; Bringe die GruBe des Fernen ihr zu.
All ihre Blumen im Garten gepflegt, Die sie so lieblich am Busen tragt, Und ihre Rosen in purpurner Glut, Bachlein, erquicke mit kuhlender Flut.
Wenn sie am Ufer, in Traume versenkt, Meiner gedenkend, das Kopfchen hangt, Troste die SuBe mit freundlichem Blick, Denn der Geliebte kehrt bald zuriick.
Neigt sich die Sonne mit rotlichem Schein, Wiege das Liebchen in Schlummer ein. Rausche sie murmelnd in suBe Ruh', Flustre ihr Traume der Liebe zu.
Kriegers Ahnung
In defer Ruh liegt urn mich her Der Waffenbriider Kreis; Mir ist das Herz so bang und schwer, Von Sehnsucht mir so heiB.
Wie hab' ich oft so suB geruht
An ihrem Busen warm!
Wie freundlich schien des Herdes Glut,
Lag sie in meinem Arm!
Hier, wo der Flamme diist'rer Schein Ach! nur auf Waffen spielt, Hier fuhlt die Brust sich ganz allein, Der Wehmut Trane quillt.
Herz! DaB der Trost Dich nicht verlaBt! Es ruft noch manche Schlacht -Bald ruh' ich wohl und schlafe fest, Herzliebste -Gute Nacht!
Love's Message
Murmuring brook, so silver and bright,
Do you hasten, so lively and swift, to my beloved
Ah, sweet brook, be my messenger;
Bring her greetings from her distant lover.
All the flowers, tended in her garden, Which she wears so charmingly on her breast, And her roses with their crimson glow; Refresh them, brooklet, with your cooling waters.
When on your banks she inclines her head, Lost in dreams, thinking of me, Comfort my sweetheart with a kindly glance, For her beloved will soon return.
When the sun sinks in a red flush,
Lull my sweetheart to sleep.
With your soft murmurings bring her sweet repose,
And whisper dreams of love.
Warrior's Foreboding
In deep repose my comrades-in-arms Lie in a circle around me; My heart is so anxious and heavy, So ardent with longing.
How often I have dreamt sweetly Upon her warm breast! How cheerful the fireside glow seemed When she lay in my arms.
Here, where the somber glimmer of the flames, Alas, plays only on weapons, Here the heart feels utterly alone; A tear of sadness wells up.
Heart, may comfort not forsake you; Many a battle still calls. Soon I shall rest well and sleep deeply. Beloved, good night!
Fruhlingssehnsucht
Sauselnde Lufte wehend so mild, Blumiger Dufte atmend erfullt! Wie haucht Ihr mich wonnig begruBend an! Wie habt Ihr dem pochenden Herzen getan Es mochte Euch folgen auf luftiger Bahn, Wohin Wohin
Bachlein, so munter rauschend zumal, Wollen hinunter silbern ins Tal. Die schwebende Welle, dort eilt sie dahin! Tief spiegeln sich Fluren und Himmel
darin. Was ziehst Du mich,
sehnend verlangender Sinn, Hinab Hinab
GruBender Sonne spielendes Gold, Hoffende Wonne bringst Du hold, Wie labt mich Dein selig
begruBendes Bild!
Es lachelt am tiefblauen Himmel so mild Und hat mir das Auge mit Tranen gefullt, Warum Warum
Grunend umkranzet Walder und Hoh'. Schimmernd erglanzet Blutenschnee. So dranget sich alles zum brautlichen Licht; Es schwellen die Keime, die Knospe bricht; Sie haben gefunden, was ihnen gebricht: Und Du Und Du
Rastloses Sehnen! Wunschendes Herz, Immer nur Tranen, Klage
und Schmerz
Auch ich bin mir schwellender Triebe bewuBt! Wer stillet mir endlich die drangende Lust Nur Du befreiest den Lenz in der Brust, Nur Du! Nur Du!
Spring Longing
Whispering breezes, blowing so gently, Exuding the fragrance of flowers; How blissful to me is your welcoming breath! What have you done to my beating heart It yearns to follow you on your airy path. Where to
Silver brooklets, babbling so merrily, Seek the valley below. Their ripples glide swiftly by! The fields and the sky are deeply
mirrored there. Why yearning, craving senses,
do you draw me Downwards
Sparkling gold of the welcoming sun,
You bring the fair joy of hope.
How your happy, welcoming countenance
refreshes me!
It smiles so benignly in the deep-blue sky,
And yet has filled my eyes with tears.
Why
The woods and hills are wreathed in green.
Snowy blossoms shimmer and gleam.
All things strain towards the bridal light;
Seeds swell, buds burst;
They have found what they lacked:
And you
Restless longing, yearning heart,
Are there always only tears, complaints,
and pain
I too am aware of swelling impulses! Who at last will still my urgent desire Only you can free the spring in my heart, Only you!
Standchen
Leise flehen meine Lieder Durch die Nacht zu Dir; In den stillen Hain hernieder, Liebchen, komm' zu mir!
Flusternd schlanke Wipfel rauschen In des Mondes Licht; Des Verraters feindlich Lauschen Furchte, Holde, nicht.
Horst die Nachtigallen schlagen Ach! sie flehen Dich, Mit der Tone suBen Klagen Flehen sie fur mich.
Sie versteh'n des Busens Sehnen, Kennen Liebesschmerz, Ri'ihren mit den Silbertonen Jedes weiche Herz.
LaB auch Dir das Herz bewegen, Liebchen, hore mich! Bebend harr' ich Dir entgegen! Komm, begliicke mich!
AUFENTHALT
Rauschender Strom, brausender Wald, Starrender Fels, mein Aufenthalt. Wie sich die Welle an Welle reiht, FlieBen die Tranen mir ewig erneut.
Hoch in den Kronen wogend sich's regt, So unaufhorlich mein Herze schlagt. Und wie des Felsen uraltes Erz, Ewig derselbe bleibet mein Schmerz.
Serenade
Softly my songs plead Through the night to you; Down into the silent grove, Beloved, come to me!
Slender tree-tops whisper and rustle
In the moonlight;
My darling, do not fear
That the hostile betrayer will overhear us.
Do you not hear the nightingales call Ah, they are imploring you; With their sweet, plaintive songs They are imploring for me.
They understand the heart's yearning,
They know the pain of love;
With their silvery notes
They touch every tender heart.
Let your heart, too, be moved, Beloved, hear me! Trembling, I await you! Come, make me happy!
Resting Place
Surging river, roaring forest, Immovable rock, my resting place. As wave follows wave, So my tears flow, ever renewed.
As the high tree-tops stir and heave, So my heart beats incessantly. Like the rock's age-old ore My sorrow remains forever the same.
In der Ferne
Wehe dem Fliehenden Welt hinaus ziehenden!-Fremde durchmessenden, Heimat vergessenden, Mutterhaus hassenden, Freunde verlassenden Folget kein Segen, ach! Auf ihren Wegen nach!
Herze, das sehnende, Auge, das tranende, Sehnsucht, nie endende, Heimwarts sich wendende! Busen, der wallende, Klage, verhallende, Abendstern, blinkender, Hoffnungslos sinkender!
Lufte, ihr sauselnden, Wellen sanft krauselnden, Sonnenstrahl, eilender, Nirgend verweilender: Die mir mit Schmerze, ach! Dies treue Herze brach -GruBt von dem Fliehenden Welt hinaus ziehenden!
Abschied
Ade, Du muntre, Du frohliche Stadt, Ade! Schon scharret mein Rosslein mit
lustigem FuB; Jetzt nimm noch den letzten,
den scheidenden GruB. Du hast mich wohl niemals traurig geseh'n, So kann es auch jetzt nicht beim Abschied
gescheh'n. Ade ...
Far Away
Woe to those who flee, Who journey forth into the world, Who travel through strange lands, Forgetting their native land, Spurning their mother's home, Forsaking their friends: Alas, no blessing follows them On their way!
The yearning heart, The tearful eye, Endless longing Turning homewards! The surging breast, The dying lament, The evening star, twinkling And sinking without hope!
Whispering breezes,
Gently ruffled waves,
Darting sunbeams,
Lingering nowhere:
Send her, who broke
My faithful heart with pain,
Greetings from one who is fleeing
And journeying forth into the world!
Farewell
Farewell, lively, cheerful town, farewell! Already my horse is happily
pawing the ground; Take now my final,
parting greeting.
I know you have never seen me sad, Nor will you now
as I depart. Farewell!
Ade, Ihr Baume, Ihr Garten so grun, Ade! Nun reit' ich am silbernen Strome entlang, Weit schallend ertonet mein Abschiedsgesang; Nie habt Ihr ein trauriges Lied gehort, So wird Euch auch keines beim Scheiden
beschert. Ade . ..
Ade, Ihr freundlichen Magdlein dort, Ade! Was schaut Ihr aus blumenumduftetem Haus Mit schelmischen, lockenden Blicken heraus Wie sonst, so gruB' ich und schaue mich um, Doch nimmer wend' ich mein Rosslein um. Ade...
Ade, Hebe Sonne, so gehst Du zur Ruh', Ade! Nun schimmert der blinkenden Sterne Gold. Wie bin ich Euch Sternlein am
Himmel so hold;
Durchziehn die Welt wir auch weit und breit, Ihr gebt uberall uns das treue Geleit. Ade ...
Ade, Du schimmerndes Fensterlein hell, Ade! Du glanzest so traulich mit
dammerndem Schein
Und ladest so freundlich ins Huttchen uns ein. Voriiber, ach, ritt ich so manches Mai Und war' es denn heute zum lezten Mai Ade...
Ade, Ihr Sterne, verhullet Euch grau! Ade! Des Fensterleins trubes,
verschimmerndes Licht Ersetzt Ihr unzahligen Sterne mir nicht; Darf ich hier nicht weilen, muB hier vorbei, Was hilft es, folgt Ihr mir noch so treu! Ade, Ihr Sterne, verhullet Euch grau! Ade!
Farewell, trees and gardens so green, farewell!
Now I ride along the silver stream;
My song of farewell echoes far and wide.
You have never heard a sad song,
Nor shall you do so
at parting. Farewell!
Farewell, charming maidens, farewell!
Why do you look out with roguish, enticing eyes
From houses fragrant with flowers
I greet you as before, and look back;
But never will I turn my horse back.
Farewell!
Farewell, dear sun, as you go to rest, farewell! Now the stars twinkle with shimmering gold. How fond I am of you, little stars
in the sky;
Though we travel the whole world, far and wide, Everywhere you faithfully escort us. Farewell!
Farewell, little window gleaming brightly, You shine so cozily with
your soft light,
And invite us so kindly into the cottage. Ah, I have ridden past you so often, And yet today might be the last time. Farewell!
Farewell, stars, veil yourselves in gray! Farewell! You numberless stars cannot replace for us
The little window's dim, fading light; If I cannot linger here, if I must ride on, How can you help me, though you follow me so faithfully Farewell, stars, veil yourselves in gray! Farewell!
String Quintet in C Major, D. 956
Perhaps it is merely a sentimental con?ceit to imagine that Schubert's truncated output telescopes a lifetime of experience, that his late works intimate mortality. Still, we cannot suppress the knowledge that the C-Major Quintet, freighted with nostalgia and otherworldly calm, was his last work of chamber music; that, months later, he turned his head to the wall and died.
The C-Major Quintet is sui generis. Mozart, of course, had written six remarkable string quintets -but these are for string quartet plus viola, whereas Schubert adds an extra cello. The difference is revealing: Mozart aims more for ingenious polyphony; Schubert achieves ingenious sonority, fortified with Romantic warmth. He emancipates the first cello as a melodic voice, and gives it two of the most gorgeous tunes ever written.
Harmonic emancipation is another keynote of the C-Major Quintet. By 1828, Schubert's chromatic wanderings were an essential aspect of his style. The quintet's C Major is not the blazing or serene C Major of the "Great" Ninth Symphony. Rather, C Major is here shadowed by chromatic expe?rience. Even the opening fails to disclose a tonic key. So much instability is conducive to emotional unrest -and the quintet's pas?sages of turbulence nearly fracture its course. Schubert's vicissitudes promote an epic breadth: quietly migrating through dis?tant harmonic realms, he attains a vast purview. This is one of the ways his music seems to speak of death and the hereafter.
The scope of the quintet's first move?ment is also varied and enlarged by its diver?sity of material. Following the indeterminate opening comes a fiery first subject. The sec?ond subject is the famous song for two cel?los, accompanied by viola pizzicatos alternat?ing with staccato chords in the violins: a feat
of scoring as sublime as the tune itself. The strenuous developmental conflicts to which these polarized parts give rise exhaust the musical engine; when it comes, the moment of recapitulation is fractured and fatigued. Once the movement regathers strength, its momentum jars loose new, syncopated explosions in the coda. The entire structure is calibrated with an infallible instinct for the long-range ebb and resurgence of its energies.
Even die "Scherzo" of this quintet sus?tains its expressive scope. With its heavy, foot-stomping downbeats, the first part, in C, is formidably physical, hugely sonorous. The "Trio: Andante sostenuto" in D-flat Major, is evanescent. Its rhetoric of grave query-and-answer, of descent and response, exudes Weltschmerz (world pain).
The dancing finale begins demonically, in c minor. As it turns out, Schubert has C Major in mind. To seal a positive outcome, he inserts another two-cello tune; its mark?ing, espressivo, is surely superfluous. To the despair of certain commentators, this move?ment does not disdain the sounds of jolly fiddles and wheezing accordions; like Mahler (whom he inspired), Schubert moves swifdy from the tavern to Elysium and back. The coda is both a summation and a solution; it leans heavily on the dissonant D-flat of the "Scherzo's" morbid Trio before sinking to the tonic C.
I leave for the last the most famous, most haunting movement in all Schubert's cham?ber music: the Adagio. It encapsulates die duality of Schubert's leave-taking. If the first section, in E Major, evokes "easeful death," die central episode, in f minor, is all termi?nal strife and torment. The reprise of sec?tion one conveys a residue of section two: the second cello's soft swirling ascents dis?turb the calm. In the coda, they pass to die first violin and are pacified.
W.W. Cobbett, in his Cyclopedic Survey of Chamber Music, writes of Schubert's C Major
Quintet: "I have known four musicians, all greatly experienced in this class of music, and none in the least inclined by disposition to sentimentality, who with strange unanimi?ty expressed the feeling that, were they fated in their last hours to listen to some lovely strain, this would be the music of their elec?tion."
Program notes by Joseph Horowitz
He lives songs like "Abschied" and "Der Atlas," feels every word of pain or con tentment...The words resonate as much as the tones that support them...What is the world of singing to do when Hermann Prey can no longer sing
Bernard Holland
New York Times, April 30, 1994
This extraordinary tribute to Hermann Prey was just one in a series of outpourings from the New York critics when this sublime artist returned to the 92nd Street Y to continue his Schubertiade, of which he has been the central participant since its inception in 1988.
The University Musical Society's Schubertiade culminates in the two concerts Mr. Prey gives here in Ann Arbor. Additional engagements for this season include recitals at the San Diego Opera, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, University of Texas at Austin, and Siena College. Mr. Prey also returns to the Manhattan School of Music for a master class in German Lieder. Hermann Prey's international performance schedule includes the Prague Autumn Inter?national Music Festival and he will also be heard in concert, recital and opera perfor?mances in Zurich, Madrid, Mexico City,
Hermann prey
Vienna, Hamburg, Tokyo, Berlin, and Bayreuth.
Mr. Prey has recently returned to the Metropolitan Opera for performances as the Music Master in Ariadne aufNaxos, and Eisenstein in Die Fledermaus. In addition, he sang Schubert and Mozart at Lincoln Center's Mosdy Mozart Festival with Gerard Schwarz and the Mosdy Mozart orchestra.
Mr. Prey was born in Berlin and studied at the Berlin Music Academy, where he gave his first Lieder recital. He made his operatic debut in 1952 at the Wiesbaden Opera and was engaged by the Hamburg State Opera the following year. International recognition began in 1955 with performances of The Marriage of Figaro at the Vienna State Opera. Five years later he made his Metropolitan Opera debut as Wolfram in Tannhauser, a role he repeated at his first Bayreuth Festival appearance. He sang the role of Papageno in the premiere performances of the Marc Chagall production of The Magic Flute dur?ing the Metropolitan Opera's opening sea?son at Lincoln Center. In Bayreuth, he sang his first Beckmesser where his interpretation
of the role stirred worldwide interest. This prompted repeat performances there, as well as renderings at La Scala and Covent Garden.
Hermann Prey made his UMS debut in February 1966. These performances mark Hermann Prey's third and fourth appearances under UMS auspices.
ichael Endres first studied in Munich at the Hochschule for Music and then at The Juilliard School in New York with Jacob Lateiner. As a student he won prizes at the "Concours Geze Anda" in Zurich and at the "Artists International Competition" in New York. After completing his studies in New York, he went to London where he was a pupil of Peter Feuchtwanger and conse?quently won both the Special Prize and First prize at the International Schubert Competition in Germany.
Michael Endres has distinguished him?self as a Schubert interpreter particularly by presenting the Schubert Piano Sonatas as a cycle which he has performed several times. He has given many concerts throughout Europe and America including perfor?mances in the Berlin Philharmonic Hall and in Carnegie Hall.
As the accompanist of Hermann Prey, he has toured Europe, America and Japan. Apart from his extensive concert touring, Mr. Endres is a Professor of Piano at the Cologne Hochschule for Music.
These performances mark Michael Endres' debut and second performances under UMS auspices.
In 1981 four members of the European Community Youth Orchestra (ECYO) formed the Auryn Quartet. Since that time, the group has enjoyed the active support and encouragement of Claudio Abbado, the ECYO's musical director, and has worked extensively with the Amadeus and Guarneri Quartets. Today, the Auryn Quartet has earned a secure place amongst the leading ensembles of its generation. The Quartet is based in Cologne, Germany where it has its own chamber music series.
In 1982 the Auryn Quartet won first prize at the 2nd International String Quartet Competition at Portsmouth, England and at the International Music Competition of the A.R.D. (Association of Public Broadcasting Corporations in Germany) in Munich. Other awards include first prize at the European Broadcasting Competition in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia where the quartet was the chosen represen?tative of the West German radio network in 1987. Among the festivals in which the ensemble has appeared are Lockenhaus, Montepulciano, Les Arcs, Donaueschingen, Berliner Festwochen, Frankfurt, Besancon, and the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival.
AURYN QUARTET
Concert tours have taken the Auryn Quartet to the major concert halls of Europe, Israel, North Africa, North and South America, and Australia. The quartet regularly performs in London at Wigmore Hall and the City of London Festival, the Concertgebouw, and the Wiener Konzerthaus. In the United States, the ensemble has appeared at Weill Recital Hall, Carnegie Hall, and the Frick Collection. It is also an annual participant in the Washington Schubert Festival hosted by Georgetown University.
The Auryn Quartet has recorded four compact discs on the German TACET label; the first CD with Schubert's G-Major quar?tet, the second with quartets of Benjamin Britten, the third with works of Haydn, and the fourth with Beethoven's Quartet Op. 130 and the Grosse Fuge Op. 133. The Quartet's recording of the complete Bartok quartets has been released on Accord, and for 1997 the ensemble will be recording the Schubert quartets for the cpo label.
The name of the group is taken from Michael Ende's book, The Neverending Story; Auryn is an amulet--a talisman which bestows on its owner great powers of imagination and inspiration.
Violinist Matthias Iingenfelder is a native of Kuenzlau, Germany. He has studied with Max Rostal in Cologne and Gerad Poulet in Paris. He was a member of the Cologne Radio Orchestra, and he served as concertmaster of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe.
Jens Opperman, violinist, is from Hamburg. Mr. Operman is a prize winner at the Colmar International Chamber Music Competition. He has studied in Hamburg, Cologne, and Duesseldorf, and he has also worked with the Hamburg State Opera.
Violist Steuart Eaton is the sole English?man in the ensemble from Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. He has studied in England, Germany, and Italy. Mr. Eaton was principal violist with the Orchestra of La Scala in Milan
Cellist Andreas Arndt is a native of Heidelberg. He has worked with the Berlin Philharmonic and was a member of the Guerzenich Orchestra of Cologne. Mr. Arndt has studied with Wolfgang Boettcher in Berlin and Johannes Gortizki in Duesseldorf.
These performances mark the Auryn Quartet's debut and second appearances under UMS aus?pices.
Martin Lovett was born in London and began studying the cello at the age of eleven with his father, a cellist with the London Philhar-
monic and Halle Orchestras. At fif?teen, he was awarded the Leverhume Scholarship to study at the Royal College of Music, where he also met his future wife, the violinist Suzanne Rozsa. Four years later

of violinist Peter Schidlof, the members of the Quartet played together without change of personnel for more than forty years -a unique record.
The Amadeus Quartet was perhaps the most successful in the history of quartet playing, having in its time given more than 4,000 public concerts, and sold more than 3,000,000 gramophone records, many of which received international awards for excellence. The Quartet also received the coveted award of the "Golden Gramophone" from its principal record company, Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft.
Among the many honors the Quartet members received are the O.B.E. from H.M. the Queen, Honorary Doctorates from the
Universities of London and York, the Grand Cross of Merit from the Government of Germany, and the Cross of Honor for Arts and Sciences from the Austrian Government. In addition, they were appointed Honorary Members of the Royal Academy of Music (where the surviving members are visiting Professors). Martin Lovett is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in London.
Since the end of the Amadeus Quartet, Martin Lovett has been extremely busy trav?eling, performing in various ensembles, teaching, coaching, and acting as judge in international chamber music competitions.
Martin Lovett made his UMS debut as a part of the Amadeus Quartet in 1978. This performance marks his third appearance under UMS auspices.

Franz Schubert
Born on January 31, 1797 in Vienna Died on November 19, 1828 in Vienna
Four Songs of Death
Schubert's more than sixty songs of death comprise a veritable catalog on the subject: his Tolenlieder treat suicide, parri?cide, and regicide; spirits, ghosts, gravedig-gers, and a corpse; the death of a mother, a nun, a father, a son, even a nightingale; and so many express Todessehnsucht -longing for death -that perhaps they should belong to a distinct genre.
The songs chosen for tonight's program share some remarkable similarities. In each text death is treated in a positive light; in
every one the protagonist sub?mits to death. The musical links are equally striking. Each song begins in minor but ends in a major key, reinforcing the poems' message that death is neither to be feared nor loathed, but accepted as a part of life. Or to appropriate Schubert's own words (from a letter to his father), these set?tings tell us that "Death [is not] the worst thing that can happen to us mortals." Furthermore, three of the songs (all but Nachtstiick )
include a rhythmic-melodic motive found in many of Schubert's "death songs": the slow, long-short-short rhythm (or dactyl) on a sin?gle pitch. Despite these connections, there is no sense of redundancy: each setting is a unique musical response to its text.
In Totengrdbers Heimweh (Gravedigger's Homesickness), a gravedigger stares into a freshly dug pit, remarking bitterly about the inevitability of death. Thoughts on the futili-
ty of life and his own solitude lead him to contemplate his own death and then to yearn it. His wish granted, he sinks into the grave, uttering his last words: "Loved ones, I come!" Schubert's setting is not at all mor?bid or gruesome: the gentle F-Major setting of the final stanza with its tolling dactyl tell us that the gravedigger has found peace and will no longer be alone.
Schwanengesang (Swan Song) traverses the coming of death, the experience of death itself, and the hereafter in a mere nine lines, sung in approximately two min?utes. Schubert's shifting harmonies, anchored only by the repeated dactyl, respond deftly to the text. Minor or disso?nant chords are set to "lament," "dissolu?tion," and "extinction," while "redeem" and "transfiguration" find consonant, major chords. Schubert's traversal from minor to
major amplifies the poet's message that from death comes new life.
In Nachtstiick (Nocturne) an old man walks into the woods to die. He sings, to the accompaniment of his harp (represented in the piano by sextuplets reminiscent of Gretchen am Spinnrade), of the "long sleep" that will free him from misery. The trees, the grasses, and the birds answer him, promising a peaceful end.
Death is not sought in Der Tod und das Mddchen (Death
and the Maiden); Death is the seeker. Before even a word is sung we know of his approach from the slow tread of the d-minor dactyls in the piano introduction. The Maiden's clipped, nearly hysterical lines show her longing for life, and make clear that Death is not a welcome guest. Death answers the Maiden's terrified words gently, comfortingly. He has not come to punish, he tells her, but comes as a friend. When .
minor turns to major in Death's line, "You shall sleep softly in my arms," we know the moment has arrived, and understand that while the Maiden's fate is untimely, it is not cruel.

TOTENGRABERS HEIMWEH
(Jakob Nikolaus dejachelutta Craigher)
O Menschheit, O Leben! Was soil's
O was soil's Grabe aus, scharre zu!
Tag und Nacht keine Ruh! Das Treiben, das Drangen, wohin
O wohin
"Ins Grab, ins Grab, tief hinab!"
O Schicksal, o traurige Pflicht
Ich trag's linger nicht!
Wann wirst du mir schlagen, o Stunde der Ruh
O Tod! komm und drucke die Augen mir zu!
Im Leben, da ist's, ach!, so schwul, ach!,
so schwul!
Im Grabe so friedlich, so kuhl! Doch ach!, wer legt mich hinein Ich stehe allein, so ganz allein!
Von alien verlassen, dem Tod nur verwandt, Verweil' ich am Rande, das Kreuz in der Hand, Und starre mit sehnendem Blick hinab Ins tiefe, ins tiefe Grab!
O Heimat des Friedens, der Seligen Land, An dich knupft die Seele ein magisches Band. Du winkst mir von feme, du ewiges Licht, Es schwinden die Sterne,
das Auge schon bricht, Ich sinke, ich sinke! Ihr Lieben, ich komm!
Gravedigger's Homesickness
O humanity, O life! To what purpose,
to what purpose Dig out, fill in!
No rest, day and night! This urgency, this haste, where does it lead
Where
"Into the grave, into the grave, deep down!"
0 fate, O sad duty,
1 can bear it no longer!
When will you strike, hour of peace
0 death, come and close my eyes! Life, alas, is so sultry,
so oppressive!
The grave is so peaceful, so cool! But ah, who will lay me there
1 stand alone, quite alone.
By all forsaken, kin to death alone, I tarry on the brink, cross in hand, Staring longingly down Into the deep, deep grave.
0 homeland of peace, land of the blessed! A magic bond binds my soul to you.
You beckon to me from afar, eternal light; The stars vanish,
my eyes already grow dim.
1 am sinking, I am sinking! Loved ones, I come!
SCHWANENGESANG
(Johann Christostemus Senn)
"Wie klag' ich's aus, das Sterbegefuhl, Das auflosend durch die Glieder rinnt, Wie sing' ich's aus, das Werdegefuhl, Das erlosend dich, o Geist, anweht."
Er klagt', er sang,
Vernichtsungsbang,
Verklarungsfroh,
Bis das Leben floh.
Das bedeutet des Schwanen Gesang!
Nachtstuck
{Johann Mayrhofer)
Wenn uber Berge sich der Nebel breitet, Und Luna mit Gewolken kampft, So nimmt der Alte seine Harfe, und schreitet, Und singt waldeinwarts und gedampft:
"Du heil'ge Nacht:
Bald ist's vollbracht,
Bald schlaT ich ihn, den langen Schlummer,
Der mich erlost von allem Rummer."
Die grunen Baume rauschen dann: "Schlaf suB, du guter, alter Mann;" Die Graser lispeln wankend fort: "Wir decken seinen Ruheort;"
Und mancher liebe Vogel ruft: "O laBt ihn ruh'n in Rasengruft!" Der Alte horcht, der Alte schweigt, Der Tod hat sich zu ihm geneigt.
Der Tod und das Madchen {Matthias Claudius)
Das Madchen: Voruber, ach, voriiber! Geh', wilder Knochenmann! Ich bin noch jung, geh', Lieber! Und ruhre mich nicht an.
Der Tod:
Gib deine Hand, du schon und zart Gebild!
Bin Freund, und komme nicht zu strafen.
Sei gutes Muts! Ich bin nicht wild,
Sollst sanft in meinen Armen schlafen!
Swan Song
"How shall I lament the presentiment of death, The dissolution that flows through my limbs How shall I sing of the feeling of new life That redeems you with its breath, o spirit"
It lamented, it sang,
Fearful of extinction,
Joyously awaiting transfiguration,
Until life fled.
That is the meaning of the swan's song!
Nocturne
When the mists spread over the mountains, And the moon battles with the clouds, The old man takes his harp, and walks Towards the wood, quietly singing:
"Holy night,
Soon it will be done.
Soon I shall sleep the long sleep
Which will free me from all grief."
Then the green trees rustle: "Sleep sweetly, good, old man;" And the swaying grasses whisper; We shall cover his resting place."
And many a sweet bird calls:
"Let him rest in his grassy grave!
The old man listens, the old man is silent.
Death has leant over him.
Death and the Maiden
The Maiden:
Pass by, ah, pass by!
Away, cruel Death!
I am still young, leave me, dear one,
And do not touch me.
Death:
Give me your hand, you lovely, tender creature.
I am your friend, and come not to chastise.
Be of good courage. I am not cruel;
You shall sleep softly in my arms!
String Quartet in d minor,
d. 810, "Death and the Maiden"
Schubert completed this, his best-known string quartet, in 1824. It is called Der Tod und das Mddchen (Death and the Maiden) because the slow movement is a series of variations on the tune derived from the song. Other Schubert variation sets, some?times also using songs of his own as themes, are florid display pieces reinterpreting the tune. His procedure here is strikingly differ?ent. Instead of transforming his source, he amplifies, deepens, intensifies its message. Not only does he shun display, he shuns modulation: all five variations cling to g minor and G Major. The theme, moreover, is never disguised: it sounds at every point. In all these respects, Schubert retains the simplicity and directness of the song. And yet the result is vaster in scope. The reasons have to do with structure.
Schubert's quartet movement theme is even barer dian his song. He omits the recitative-like music of the Maiden's plea, arriving at a purely chordal texture. The first part of the theme is all g minor. Part two moves from B-flat Major to G Major. This minor-to-major trajectory maps the move?ment in microcosm. By ending his stormiest variation -No. 3 -in the minor, and setting his quietest -No. 4 -wholly in the major, Schubert doubles the magnitude of his dark?ness-to-light scenario. In variation No.5, he gradually thins the texture, and diminishes the dynamic to ppp. The movement's G-Major coda, thus prepared, is ethereal -compared to the song, a more rarefied, more complete rendering of death's "gentle sleep."
Schubert joins this movement to three others conceived to heighten its impact. The entire work is swathed in darkness and tragedy. The pounding fortissimo triplets of the opening are answered by the silence,
then echoed in stealthy pianissimo. A huge crescendo yields a reprise of the beginning in which the earlier silences pulsate with sound: a seething mass of triplets now per?vades the entire texture. A triplet accompa?niment disturbs the soothing second sub?ject, in F Major. When this theme, too, undergoes agitated development, the triplet undercurrent accelerates to fortissimo six?teenth notes. The development section strenuously combines both principal themes. The movement's crowning inspira?tion is its coda, for which Schubert cunning?ly withholds the reprise of the opening page's great crescendo. This yields a tremen?dous tonic cadence, whose aftershock proves transitional. The harmonic scheme of this final passage is hauntingly unstable. Eschewing finality, it introduces the healing "Death and the Maiden" movement which follows.
Movement three of the quartet is a d-minor "Scherzo." Compared to other Schubert scherzos, this one is notably rapid. Even more notable is that its D-Major 'Trio" uncharacteristically opens no window to serenity: the perturbed dotted rhythms of die movement's outer episodes punctuate its course.
Schubert closes the Quartet with a per?petual motion finale in tarantella rhythm. Schubert uses a contrasting second subject, an interrupting chorale dieme, as a foil: it is fractured by the irresistible tarantella impe?tus, which also strips its chordal texture to skeletal unison. The coda accelerates the movement to a frenzied prestissimo. A series of harmonic shocks preparing the final crescendo create an illusion of further, even more frenetic acceleration. A split-second modulation to the tonic major is a possibility foreclosed by the mighty d-minor cadence which ends the work.

Fantasy in f minor for piano four hands, d. 940
Rather like a cyclic symphony, the f-minor Fantasy divides into four sections of which the second is slow, the third is a scherzo, and the fourth recycles earlier material. While the scherzo (Allegro vivace, D Major) is thematically self-sufficient, the other three sections are seduced by the opening tune, which even if it occurred once, would remain the score's most indelible feature. As with so many haunting Schubert melodies, its poignancy seems subject to limitless enhance?ment as Schubert dreamily traverses one new key after another. In the Fantasy's first section (Allegro molto moderato, f minor), it dominates an ABA structure. In the second (Largo, f-sharp minor), it spawns a new theme with which it shares a rising fourth in dotted rhythm. In the fourth (Tempo I, f minor), it reappears intact, then launches an ambitious fugue based on another of its thematic offshoots: the first section's second subject. Schubert's culminating masterstroke, in the coda, is to return to the tune in its initial quiet guise -but with new meaning. Through ceaseless cross-reference and repe?tition, it has become a mournful refrain as obsessive as the tarantella that drives the late c-minor Piano Sonata to its grim close, or the morbidly droning Leiermann who puts an end to Winterreise.
Program note by Joseph Horowitz
SCHWANENGESANG, D. 957
(Texts by Heinrich Heine)
In the six Heine songs of Schwanengesang Schubert adopts a poet whose voice would have earlier eluded him. Taking up where Winterreise left off, he composes epigrammat-ically, not sorrowfully, but bitterly. The piano
is here an orchestra, and it renders a cosmos of terror and pain.
Superficially, Ihr Bild (Her Picture) is a cliche: a portrait of the departed beloved. Schubert, however, finds something halluci?natory in the way her picture springs to life. The bare octaves in the piano, doubling the vocal line; the vacant pauses; the rumbling in the bass; and the piano's b-flat minor final cadence underscore the essential bit?terness of the song.
The accompaniment to Die Stadt (The Town) seventeen times repeats a dissonant chord over a throbbing pedal point -the lapping waves and shivering, dank breeze accompanying the wanderer's boat. So vague and futile is this journey that its end is no end at all: a lonely C in the bass, clouded by the chromatic harmonic residue. Am Meer (By the Sea) is another turbid, painfully irresolute waterscape that vaguely evaporates.
The disillusionment of the Heine songs, whose metaphoric equivalent is the image that dissolves or falsely materializes, peaks in DerDoppelgdnger (The Wraith). Here, the stripped vocal line is a kind of heightened speech, so tightly is it bound to the rhythm, accentuation, and pitch of the spoken word. The same is true for Die StadL This close inte?gration of speech and song is an achievement we more commonly associate with Wagner.
In diis impressive evolution of musical speech, die interiority and economy of Die Stadt and Der Doppelgdnger are new, and so is the use of music to evoke half-real, half-imagined external metaphor: the shrouded spires, the dreary sea, die moonlit double. This, too, is a Wagnerian achievement. It is Schubert forecasting the subjectivity of Tristan und Isolde.
No perspective on Schubert could more dioroughly refute die imagery of innocent tunesmidi diat once shaped Schubert's rep?utation. At journey's end, die Heine songs represent Schubert at die very height of his powers -but not of his potential.

SCHWANENGESANG Poems by Heinrich Heine
Der Atlas
Ich unglucksel'ger Atlas! eine Welt, Die ganze Welt der Schmerzen muB ich tragen. Ich trage Unertragliches, und brechen Will mir das Herz im Leibe.
Du stolzes Herz, du hast es ja gewollt! Du wolltest glucklich sein, unendlich glucklich, Oder unendlich elend, stolzes Herz, Und jetzo bist du elend.
IHR BlLD
Ich stand in dunklen Traumen, Und starrte ihr Bildnis an, Und das geliebte Antlitz Heimlich zu leben begann.
Um ihr Lippen zog sich Ein Lacheln wunderbar, Und wie von Wehmutstranen Erglanzte ihr Augenpaar.
Auch meine Tranen flossen Mir von den Wangen herab -Und ach, ich kann es nicht glauben, DaB ich dich verloren hab'!
Atlas
I, unhappy Atlas, must bear a world, The whole world of sorrows. I bear the unbearable, and my heart Would break within my body.
Proud heart, you wished it so! You wished to be happy, endlessly happy, Or endlessly wretched, proud heart! And now you are wretched!
Her Picture
I stood in dark dreams,
Gazing at her picture;
And that beloved face
Began mysteriously to come alive.
Around her lips there played
A wondrous smile;
And her eyes glistened,
As though with melancholy tears.
My tears, too, flowed Down my cheeks. And ah, I cannot believe That I have lost you!
Das l isc in km a dcii in
Du schones Fischermadchen, Treibe den Kahn ans Land; Komm zu mir und setze dich nieder, Wir kosen Hand in Hand.
Leg an mein Herz dein Kopfchen, Und furchte dich nicht zu sehr; Vertraust du dich doch sorglos Taglich dem wilden Meer.
Mein Herz gleicht ganz dem Meere, Hat Sturm und Ebb' und Flut, Und manche schone Perle In seiner Tiefe ruht.
Die Stadt
Am fernen Horizonte Erscheint, wie ein Nebelbild, Die Stadt mit ihren Turmen In Abenddamm'rung gehullt.
Ein feuchter Windzug krauselt Die graue Wasserbahn; Mit traurigem Takte rudert Der Schiffer in meinem Kahn.
Die Sonne hebt sich noch einmal Leuchtend vom Boden empor, Und zeigt mir jene Stelle, Wo ich das Liebste verlor.
The Fisher Maiden
Lovely fisher maiden,
Guide your boat to the shore;
Come and sit beside me,
And hand in hand we shall talk of love.
Lay your little head on my heart And do not be too afraid; For each day you trust yourself Without fear to the turbulent sea.
My heart is just like the sea,
It has its storms, its ebbs and its flows;
And many a lovely pearl
Rests in its depths.
The Town
On the distant horizon Appears, like a misty vision, The town with its turrets, Shrouded in dusk.
A damp wind ruffles The grey stretch of water; With mournful strokes The boatman rows my boat.
Radiant, the sun rises once more From the earth, And shows me diat place Where I lost my beloved.
Am Meer
Das Meer erglanzte weit hinaus Im letzten Abendscheine; Wir saBen am einsamen Fischerhaus, Wir saBen stumm und alleine.
Der Nebel stieg, das Wasser schwoll, Die Mowe flog hin und wieder; Aus deinen Augen liebevoll Fielen die Tranen nieder.
Ich sah sie fallen auf deine Hand, Und bin aufs Knie gesunken; Ich hab' von deiner weiBen Hand Die Tranen fortgetrunken.
Seit jener Stunde verzehrt sich mein Leib, Die Seele stirbt vor Sehnen; -Mich hat das unglucksel'ge Weib Vergiftet mit ihren Tranen.
Der Doppelganger
Still ist die Nacht, es ruhen die Gassen, In diesem Hause wohnte mein Schatz; Sie hat schon langst die Stadt verlassen, Doch steht noch das Haus auf demselben Platz.
Da steht auch ein Mensch und
starrt in die Hohe,
Und ringt die Hande vor Schmerzensgewalt; Mir graust es, wenn ich sein Antlitz sehe -Der Mond zeigt mir meine eig'ne Gestalt.
Du Doppelganger, du bleicher Geselle! Was affst du nach mein Liebesleid, Das mich gequalt auf dieser Stelle So manche Nacht, in alter Zeit
By the Sea
The sea glittered far and wide
In the sun's dying rays;
We sat by the fisherman's lonely house,
We sat silent and alone.
The mist rose, the waters swelled, A seagull flew to and fro; From your loving eyes The tears fell.
I saw them fall on your hand, I sank upon my knee; From your white hand I drank away the tears.
Since that hour my body is consumed And my soul dies of longing. That unhappy woman Has poisoned me with her tears.
The Wraith
The night is still, the streets are at rest; In this house lived my sweetheart. She has long since left the town, But the house still stands on the self-same spot.
A man stands there too,
staring up,
And wringing his hands in anguish; I shudder when I see his face -The moon shows me my own form.
You wraith, pallid companion, Why do you ape the pain of my love Which tormented me on this very spot, So many a night, in days long past
