Dear Friend,
Thanks very much for attending this perfor?mance and for supporting the University Musical Society (UMS) by being a member of the audience. I'd like to invite you to become even more involved with UMS. There are many ways you can do this, and the rewards are great.
Educational Activities. This season UMS is hosting more than 150 performance-related educational events, nearly all of them free and open to the public. Want to learn from a member of the New York City Opera National Company what it's like to be on the road for four months, or find out from Beethoven scholar Steven Whiting why the composer's music, beloved by today's audi?ences, was reviled by many in Beethoven's own time Through our "Master of Arts" interview series, Performance-Related Educational Presentations (PREPs), post-per?formance chats with the artists, and a variety of other activities, I invite you to discover the answers to these and other questions and to deepen your understanding and appreciation of the performing arts.
UMS Choral Union. Does singing with an outstanding chorus appeal to you UMS' own 180-voice chorus, which performs annu?ally on the UMS series and as guest chorus with leading orchestras throughout the region, invites you to audition and to experi?ence the joys of musicmaking with the won?derful people who make up the chorus.
Volunteering. We couldn't exist with?out the marvelous work of our volunteers. I invite you to consider volunteering -usher?ing at concerts, staffing the hospitality booth in the lobby, serving on the UMS Advisory Committee, helping prepare our artists' wel?come packets, offering your special talent to UMS, etc. -and joining the more than 500
people who make up this absolutely critical part of the UMS family.
Group Activities. If you are a member of a service club, youth group, religious orga?nization, or any group that enjoys doing things together, I invite you to bring your group to a UMS event. There are terrific dis?counts and other benefits, not to mention the fun your group can have before, during, and after a UMS event.
UMS Membership. If you're not already a UMS member, I hope you'll consider becoming one. Not only do you receive the satisfaction of knowing that your financial support is helping us bring the world's best artists to our community, but there are numerous benefits to enjoy, including advance ticket purchase, invitations to special events, opportunities to meet artists, and more.
You can obtain further information about all of these opportunities throughout this pro?gram book and on our website (www.ums.org). You can also stop by the hospitality booth in the lobby or come and talk to me directly. I'd love to meet you, answer any questions you might have, and, most importantly, learn of anything we can do at UMS to make your concertgoing experience the best possible. Your feedback and ideas for ways we can improve are always welcome. If you don't happen to catch me in the lobby, please call me at my office in Burton Tower at 313.647.1174.
Sincerely,
Kenneth C. Fischer President

University Musical Society
of the University of Michigan
The goal of the University Musical Society (UMS) is clear: to engage, educate, and serve Michigan audiences by bringing to our community an ongoing series of world-class artists, who represent the diverse spec?trum of today's vigorous and exciting live per?forming arts world. Over its 119 years, strong leadership coupled with a devoted community have placed UMS in a league of internationally-recognized performing arts presenters. Today, the UMS seasonal program is a reflection of a thoughtful respect for this rich and varied his?tory, balanced by a commitment to dynamic and creative visions of where the performing arts will take us in the next millenium. Every day UMS seeks to cultivate, nurture and stim?ulate public interest and participation in every facet of the live arts.
The Musical Society grew from a group of local university and townspeople who gath?ered 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 performance of Handel's Messiah was in December of 1879, and this glorious oratorio has since been performed by the UMS Choral Union
annually.
As a great number of Choral Union members also belonged to the University, the University Musical Society was established in December 1880. The Musical Society included the Choral Union and University Orchestra, and throughout the year presented a series of concerts featuring local and visiting artists and ensem?bles. Professor Frieze
became the first president of the Society.
Since that first season in 1880, UMS has expanded greatly and now presents the very best from the full spectrum of the performing arts -internationally renowned recitalists and orchestras, dance and chamber ensem?bles, jazz and world music performers, and opera and theatre. Through educational endeavors, commissioning of new works, youth programs, artists residencies and other collaborative projects, UMS has maintained its reputation for quality, artistic distinction and innovation. The Musical Society now hosts over 70 concerts and more than 150 educa?tional events each season. UMS has flour?ished with the support of a generous commu?nity which gathers in Hill and Rackham Auditoria, the Power Center, the Michigan Theater, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, the Museum of Art and the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.
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 individual contributions, foundation and government grants, and endowment income.
UMS Choral Union
Thomas Sheets, conductor
Throughout its 119-year history, the University Musical Society Choral Union has performed with many of the world's distinguished orchestras and conductors.
Based in Ann Arbor under the aegis of the University Musical Society, the 180-voice Choral Union remains best known for its annual performances of Handel's Messiah each December. Four years ago, the Choral Union further enriched that tradition and reg?ularly collaborates as large chorus with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. In that capacity, the ensemble has joined the orchestra for sub?scription performances of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, Orff's Carmina Burana, Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe, and Prokofiev's Aleksandr Nevsky. In 1995, the Choral Union began an artistic association with the Toledo Symphony, inaugurating the partnership with a performance of Britten's War Requiem, and
continuing with performances of the Berlioz Requiem, Bach's Mass in b minor and the Verdi Requiem.
Last season, the UMS Choral Union fur?ther expanded its scope to include perfor?mances with the Grand Rapids Symphony, joining with them in a presentation of the rarely-performed Mahler's Symphony No. 8 ("Symphony of a Thousand"). This season the Choral Union collaborates with the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra to present Mendelssohn's Elijah in February of 1998.
Participation in the Choral Union remains open to all by audition. Representing a mixture of townspeople, students and faculty, members of the Choral Union share one common passion -a love of the choral art.
For more 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 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 impor?tant debuts and
long relationships throughout the past 84 years. With acoustics that high?light 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.
Former U-M regent Arthur Hill bequeathed $200,000 to the University for the construction of an auditorium for lectures, concerts and other university events. Then-UMS President Charles Sink raised an addi?tional $150,000, and the concert hall opened in 1913 with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra performing Beethoven's ever-popular Symphony No. 5. 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, Ignace Jan Paderewski (who often called Hill Auditorium "the finest music hall in the world"), Paul Robeson, Lily Pons, Leontyne Price, Marian Anderson and, more recently, Yo-Yo Ma, Cecilia Bartoli, Jessye Norman, Van Cliburn, the MET Orchestra in the debut concert of its inaugural tour, the Vienna Philharmonic and
the late Sergiu Celibidache conducting the Munich Philharmonic.
The auditorium seated 4,597 when it first opened; subsequent renovations, which increased the size of the stage to accommo?date both an orchestra and a large chorus (1948) and improved 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 through?out the season. Despite many changes in appearance over the past century, the organ pipes were restored to their original stenciling, color and layout in 1986.
Hill Auditorium is slated for renovation. 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 conve?niences.
Rackham Auditorium
Fifty years ago, 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, Newberry Hall and the current home of the Kelsey Museum. When Horace H. Rackham, a Detroit lawyer who believed strongly in the importance of the study of human history and human thought, died in 1933, his will established the Horace H. Rackham and Mary A. Rackham Fund, which subsequently awarded the University of Michigan the funds not only to build the Horace H. Rackham Graduate School which houses Rackham Auditorium, but also to establish a $4 million endowment
to further the development of graduate stud?ies. Even more remarkable than the size of the gift, which is still considered one of the most ambitious ever given to higher-level educa?tion, is the fact that neither of the Rackhams ever attended the University of Michigan.
Designed by architect William Kapp and architectural sculptor Corrado Parducci, 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 inti?macy, beauty and fine acoustics of the 1,129-seat auditorium, which has been the location for hundreds of chamber music concerts throughout the years.
Power Center for the Performing Arts
The Power Center for the Performing Arts was bred from a realization that the University of Michigan had no adequate proscenium-stage 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, togeth?er with their son Philip, wished to make a major gift to the University, and amidst a list of University priorities was mentioned "a new
theatre." The Powers were immediately inter?ested, realizing that state and federal govern?ment were unlikely to provide financial sup?port for the construction of a new theatre.
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 fea?tures include the two large spiral staircases leading from the orchestra level to the balcony and the well-known mirrored glass panels on the exterior. No seat in the Power Center is more than 72' from the stage. The lobby of the Power Center features two hand-woven tapes?tries: Modern Tapestry by Roy Lichtenstein and Volutes by Pablo Picasso.
Auditoria, continued
Michigan Theater
The historic Michigan Theater opened January 5,1928 at the peak of the vaude?villemovie 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 sec?ond 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 stage events, with a full-size stage, dressing rooms, an orchestra pit, and the Barton Theater Organ, acclaimed as the best of its kind in the country.
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 exis?tence. In 1979, 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 is planned for 2003.
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 build?ing, and on March 19, 1969 John Cardinal Dearden dedicated the new St. Francis of Assisi Church. Father James McDougal was appointed pastor in 1997.
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 900 people and has ample free parking.
In 1994 St. Francis purchased a splendid three manual "mechanical action" organ with thirty-four stops and fourty-five ranks, built and installed by Orgues Letourneau from Saint Hyacinthe, Quebec. Through dedication, 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 gathering place for the enjoyment and contem?plation of sacred a cappella choral music and early music ensembles.
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
Notwithstanding an isolated effort to estab?lish a chamber music series by faculty and students in 1938, UMS most recently began presenting 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 in recital, the superlative Mendelssohn Theatre has become a recent venue addition to the Musical Society's roster and the home of the Song Recital series. This year's series celebrates the alto voice with recitals by Marilyn Home, David Daniels, and Susanne Mentzer.
Allen Pond & Pond, Martin & Lloyd, a Chicago architectural firm, designed the Mendelssohn Theatre, which is housed in the Michigan League. It opened on May 4, 1929 with an original equipment cost of $36,419 and received a major facelift in 1979. In 1995, the proscenium curtain was replaced, and new carpeting and seats were installed.

The University of Michigan Museum of Art houses one of the finest university art col?lections in the country and the second largest art collection in the state of Michigan. A community museum in a university setting, the Museum of Art offers visitors a rich and
diverse permanent collection, supplemented by a lively, provocative series of special exhibi?tions and a full complement of interpretive programs. UMS presents two special concerts in the Museum in the 1997-98 season. On October 8, the Moscow Conservatory Chamber Ensemble performs a program of mixed cham?ber music. On March 10, Jean-Yves Thibaudet performs a program of French piano works, complementing the museum's exhibit, "Turning Point: Monet's Debacles at VetheuiL"
Burton Memorial Tower
Seen from miles away, this well-known University of Michigan and Ann Arbor landmark is the box office and administra?tive 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 from miles around, be built in the center of campus to represent the idealism and loyal?ty of U-M alumni. In 1929 the UMS Board of Directors authorized construction of the Marion LeRoy Burton Memorial Tower. The University of Michigan Club of Ann Arbor accepted the project of raising money for the tower and, along with the regents of the Uni?versity, the City of Ann Arbor, and the Alumni Association, the Tower Fund was established. UMS donated $60,000 to this fund.
Completed in 1935 and designed by Albert Kahn, the 10-story tower is built of Indiana limestone with a height of 212 feet. During the academic year, visitors may climb up to the observation deck and watch the carillon being played from noon to 12:30 pm weekdays when classes are in session and most Saturdays from 10:15 to 10:45 am.
A renovation project headed by local builder Joe O'Neal was completed in the sum?mer of 1991. As a result, UMS now has refur?bished offices complete with updated heating, air conditioning, storage, lighting and wiring. Over 230 individuals and businesses donated labor, materials and funds to this project.
Education and Audience Development
During the past year, the University Musical Society's Education and Audience Development program has grown signifi?cantly. With a goal of deepening the under?standing of the importance of live performing arts as well as the major impact the arts can have in the community, UMS now seeks out active and dynamic collaborations and part?nerships to reach into the many diverse com?munities it serves.
Several programs have been established to meet the goals of UMS' Education and Audience Development program, including specially designed Family and Student (K-12) performances. This year, more than 6,000 stu?dents will attend the Youth Performance Series, which includes The Harlem Nutcracker, Chick Corea and Gary Burton, the New York City Opera National Company, Los Munequitos de Matanzas, and STREB.
The University Musical Society and the Ann Arbor Public Schools are members of the Kennedy Center Performing Arts Centers and Schools: Partners in Education Program.
Some highlighted activities that further the understanding of the artistic process and appreciation for the performing arts include:

Children of all ages are welcome to UMS Family and Youth performances. Parents are encouraged not to bring children under the age of three to regular, full-length UMS performances. All children should be able to sit quietly in their own seats throughout any UMS performance. Children unable to do so, along with the adult accompa?nying them, will be asked by an usher to leave the auditorium. Please use discretion in choosing to bring a child.
Remember, everyone must have a ticket, regardless of age.
While in the Auditorium
Starting Time Every attempt is made to begin concerts on time. Latecomers are asked to wait in the lobby until seated by ushers at a predetermined time in the program.

Throughout her long and distin?guished career, Marilyn Home has resolutely resisted being categorized or pigeonholed. This refusal to be limited applies as much to reper?toire, style and genre as it has to vocal range. During our long part?nership we have performed sixteenth-century lute songs as well as world premieres with wet ink and the composer just a few feet away. Tonight's program certainly demon?strates her feelings for what a "complete" singer should be and the variety of reper?toire that involves.
Shakespeare probably had no idea he would become the world's most popular lyricist in the English language, but such is definitely the case. In this opening group, we can view such diverse reactions to his verses as Haydn (1790) and Poulenc (1960). It is of course natural for his own country?men to help themselves to his texts. Quilter, an unabashed romantic used six Shakespearean texts in his Opus 6 of 1905. Finzi dedicated his five songs on Shakespeare to Vaughan-Williams, and used the final words of Who is Sylvia to create the cycle's title. Fancy is Poulenc's only song in English. He did not speak the language easily, and his song needs some shaping to sound idiomatic, but he does know how to capture a bell's resonance. Loomis' name is probably unfamiliar to today's audiences, but at the century's turn this student of Dvorak was renowned for music accompanying spoken melodrama. Finally, Haydn's response to this brief poem from Twelfth Night elevates Viola's response to a truly tragic picture. As you listen to this group of five songs, enjoy the musical variety while appreciating the poetic unity.
Ms. Home offers a trio of songs by three of her favorite Lieder composers, rather than restrict herself to only one style. One can glean some stylistic elements particular to Schubert, Wolf and Brahms from these brief glimpses.
Schubert, as we know from last season's festival with UMS, is certainly the father of the German song. He inherited the form as an unorganized ditty and elevated it to the status we know today. The endless variety of accompanimental figures and textures, cou?pled with his melodic genius make the songs immediately accessible. This trio of songs provides drama, serenity and good humor, all in turn. In only one page of music, Der Tod und das Madchen presents two voices, two pianists. Few events this brief are this dramatic. Love of nature and one's creator occupied Schubert a great deal, hence the natural appeal of hn Abendrot for him. Fischerweise is a wonderful example of a multiple-strophe Schubert song. (Listen for the very subtle changes in the third verse when the shepherdess appears!)
Of Wolf's large songbook of Morike texts, here are three finely contrasted examples. The first song, wherein the convalescent remembers to thank the god of Hope, could stand as a metaphor for Wolf's own quest. He chose to place it first in this important opus, and created a musical event worthy of that position. Morike and Wolf always had humor near at hand, and in Rat einer Alten it is clear that advice spins out of control. Walking is the Austrian national pastime, but in Auf einer Wanderung a simple stroll evolves into a life-changing experience. We can hear a simple Lied become an almost-Wagnerian aria. Wolf only put music to words when he felt he had "entered into the psyche of the poet." Here, music and words are inseparable.
The Viennese equivalent of the Hatfields and the McCoys were Brahms and Wolf at the end of the nineteenth century. Brahms could not set words to music properly according to Wolf, and Wolf couldn't write melodies properly according to Brahms. One hundred years later, we find room to appreciate both and cherish their differences. In Unbewegte laue Luft, Brahms creates the
most sultry and stagnant of atmospheres, but love is awake and ready! With Botschaft, one of Brahms' most popular songs, we become acquainted with how graceful he can be. In between is a pure Swabian folk?song, harmonized by Brahms. The composer adored folk music and integrated it into many of his compositions. The simple senti?ment of these four verses is inhanced with his piano part, but we are not distracted from its elemental message.
Next follows a sampling of what French song has to offer us. Le Bestiaire is Poulenc's very first essay in songwriting. Already at twenty, he was able to capture the irony and humor of Apollinaire's texts. This petite cycle may be sung with piano or with cham?ber ensemble, but the allegorical effect remains the same. Beau Soir is a fairly early song of Debussy, and we can tell from the sensuous vocal line that he was engaged to accompany voice lessons as a teenager. One can easily hear the beginnings of impres?sionism here, and nature as a reflection of humanity's role is a hallmark of that budding movement. Gounod was a prolific song composer, but sadly his songs are rarely used today. His melodic gift was unparal?leled, and he is able to redefine charm in this brief scherzo of a song. Finally, Bizet's two strophe Adieux de I'hdtesse arabe is a masterpiece of the French romantic genre. As were so many of his countrymen, Bizet was also fascinated by foreign, exotic cultures such as the middle-east. His feeling for vocal line and sensuous atmosphere is unsurpassed.
Ms. Home performed with Leonard Bernstein on many occasions, in repertoire as diverse as the Verdi Requiem and Copland's American Songs. Tonight's group of songs emanates from that association and mutual admiration. As is typical of Bernstein's eclectic nature, some of these songs are from Broadway, others from the concert hall. In 1949, Bernstein was asked to provide
songs and incidental music for a new version of Peter Pan starring Jean Arthur and Boris Karloff. Tonight's first and last songs are from that production, although "Dream with Me" was cut and never used. "Nachspiel" means postlude and is from Bernstein's last work, Arias and Barcarolles. It has a subtitle: "In Memoriam," but for whom is not speci?fied. Barbara Streisand was the first to sing the 1960 "So Pretty" to lyrics of Comden and Green. It is much more serious than its title would simply. A favorite association of Bernstein's was his partnership with mezzo Jennie Tourel in recital. "Rabbit at Top Speed" comes from that partnership, and is part of a four-recipe cycle which may be sung in French or English. Finally, "Sonnet XLIII: What lips my lips have kissed," to the haunt?ing poem of Edna St. Vincent Millay is taken from Bernstein's cycle for five singers, Songfest, premiered in 1977. This song was written for Miss Home, but she never had the oppor?tunity to perform it with the composer.
Program notes by Martin Katz
arilyn Home, one of America's most beloved singers also con?tinues to be one of the busiest. The 1995-96 season included recitals and orchestra concerts in New York City, Cleveland, .Charleston, Pittsburgh and St. Louis. She also sang duet recitals with soprano Benita Valente in Kentucky and Pennsylvania. In January 1996, Ms. Home returned to the Metropolitan Opera for six performances as Dame Quickly in Verdi's Falstaff. In July 1996, she was featured in orchestral performances and a recital at the Pacific Music Festival in Sapporo, Japan. October and November found her in Mexico and South America for recitals and orchestral concerts at venues which includ-
ed Teatro Municipal in Sao Paolo and the venerable Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires.
Ms. Home has sung on the world's most famous opera stages, including the Metropolitan Opera, La Scala, Barcelona's Teatro Liceu, London's Convent Garden, Venice's La Fenice, Paris' Opera, Chatelet, Champs-filysees, Pesaro's Rossini Festival, Chicago's Lyric, as well as with the compa?nies of Santa Fe, Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Hamburg, Berlin Salzburg, Vienna, Aix-en-Provence, Rome, Verona, and Palermo.
At least half of Marilyn Home's per?forming life consists of recitals. She is one of the very few vocalists who can sell out a house in this most exacting realm of singing. She has performed well over 1300 recitals. In recitals and recording, this year marks over thirty years of collaboration with Martin Katz, her illustrious accompanist. She also collaborates in recital with pianists Warren Jones and Brian Zeger.
In addition to her busy performance schedule, Ms. Home launched the Marilyn Home Foundation in 1994 with a gala birthday concert at Carnegie Hall. The
foundation, another milestone in the career of one of this century's greatest artists, is a non-profit organization devoted exclusively to the art of the vocal recital in the United States.
Another exciting new dimension of her remarkable career is the master class. An historic first for her was the Marilyn Home Vocal Workshop at Carnegie Hall, the first ever presented there. An intensive five-day exploration focusing on the bel canto reper?tory, the workshop gave some of our bright?est young artists the opportunity to learn and be coached by the esteemed mezzo-soprano. Also, this year Ms. Home will take on the new role of Head of the Vocal Program at the Music Academy of the West, a summer music institute in Santa Barbara, California.
Ms. Home's recent recordings on the BMG ClassicalRCA Cictor Red Seal label include a cross-over album featuring Ms. Home, Jerry Hadley, Thomas Hampson, Samuel Ramey and Spiro Malas, titled The Men in My Life; a Brahms album with Pinchas Zuckerman; an album of Lieder with Frederica von Stade; an album of lulla?bies from around the world, titled All Through the Night, a Rossini Bicentennial Celebration; and an album of Ms. Home's Carnegie Gala Birthday Celebration, Divas in Song, proceeds from which go to The Marilyn Home Foundation to help present gifted young artists in recital throughout America. Ms. Home's recent opera releases include a complete Falstaff and Handel's Semele which received a 1994 Grammy for Best Opera Recording.
Among Ms. Home's many honors are the Kennedy Center Honors, recognized by President Clinton in nationwide television broadcast ceremonies from the White House and the Kennedy Center in December 1995 and the National Endowment for the Arts' coveted National Medal of Arts presented to her by President Bush. She is a Commander
of the Order of Arts and Letters award by the Ministry of Culture of France, as well as a Commendatore al Merito della Republica Italiana. Also in Italy she was honored with the 'Premio D'oro,' as "il piu grande can-tante del mondo" (the greatest female singer in the world); and with the Abbiati Prize, awarded by the Italian music critics for Best Operatic Interpretation of the Year. She received the prestigious Fidelio Gold Medal from the International Association of Opera Directors for her substantial contribution to opera houses throughout the world -the first time an American artist was so hon?ored. Ms. Home also received the Covent Garden Silver Medal for Outstanding Service which marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of her debut at the Royal Opera House, and the Handel Medallion, New York City's highest cultural award. She was named 1995 Musician of the Year by Musical America. In April 1995 the Metropolitan Opera honored her for her twenty-five years of outstanding performances at the Met. In June 1995, in celebration of the Fiftieth anniversary of the United Nations, she per?formed the world premiere of A Whitman Triptych, an orchestra piece with solo mezzo soprano, written for her by William Bolcom and specially commissioned by the San Francisco Opera for this occasion. Following the concert, Madeline Albright (Secretary of State and former US Representative to the United Nations) presented to Ms. Home a Proclamation from the United Nations hon?oring her great achievements in the world of classical music.
Marilyn Home is a frequent guest on America's top television shows, including the David Letterman Show and the Tonight Show with both Johnny Carson and Jay Leno. She was recently profiled on television worldwide in a documentary co-produced 'by Reiner Moritz and The South Bank Show of the UK. Her cross-over popularity was also demonstrated in a twenty-fifth anniver-
sary celebration of the award-winning chil?dren's program, Sesame Street, aired throughout the USA.
Ms. Home has won Grammies for Presenting Marilyn Home, In Concert at the Met with Leontyne Price and Marilyn Home, Carmen (conducted by Leonard Bernstein), and the Prix du Disque for Souvenir of a Golden Era. Her recording of L'ltaliana in Algeri includes three newly-discovered alter?nate arias that had been forgotten since Rossini's day. In addition, she sang the title role in the first recording ever made of Roussel's Padmavati.
Born in Bradford, Pennsylvania, Marilyn Home began her musical studies with her father and first sang in public at the age of four. When she was eleven, her family moved to Long Beach, California. She stud?ied voice with William Vennard and song recital works with Gwendolyn Koldofsky (her accompanist thereafter for ten years) at the University of Southern California. She also participated in many master classes conducted by Lotte Lehmann. At age twenty, she was Dorothy Dandridge's singing voice in the motion picture of Oscar Hammerstein's Carmen Jones. Also that year she made her operatic debut with the Los Angeles Guild Opera. Her early opera career included three years at the opera house in Gelsenkerchen, Germany. During and after that period she sang often with Igor Stravinsky, who dedicated his last work to her. Ms. Home made her sensational debut in Wozzeck in 1960 with the San Francisco Opera Company. Her autobiography, Marilyn Home: My Life, written with Jane Scovell, was published by Atheneum in 1984.
This performance marks Marilyn Home's fifth appearance under UMS auspices.
'artin Katz must surely be con?sidered the dean of collaborative pianists," said the Los Angeles Times after a concert last season. One of the world's busiest collaborators, he has been in k constant demand by our most celebrated vocal soloists for more than a quarter-century. This season marks his thirty-first with Marilyn Home, although it is their first UMS appearance together. This is a partnership which not only launched Mr. Katz's career but has shaped his whole notion of collaboration immeasurably. In addition, he has appeared regularly with Frederica von Stade, Kiri Te Kanawa, Kathleen Battle, Sylvia McNair, and Jose Carreras in both concerts and recordings. Artists from the past with whom he has collaborated include Renata Tebaldi, Cesare Siepi, Katia Ricciarelli, Judith Blegen, Evelyn Lear, Thomas Stewart, Tatiana Troyanos, Gabriella Tucci, and Regine Crespin. Season after season, the world's musical capitals fig?ure prominently in his schedule. His many appearances at Carnegie Hall, Washington's Kennedy Center, Milan's La Scala, Vienna's Musikverein and Buenos Aires' Teatro Colon have been lauded by audiences and critics alike. He has more than a dozen recordings to his credit for BMG, CBS, Sony, Decca, Phillips, RCA, and FonitCetra labels. Mr. Katz is a native of California, where he began piano studies at the age of five. He attended the University of Southern California as a scholarship student and studied the specialized field of accompany?ing with its pioneer teacher, Gwendolyn Koldofsky. While yet a student, he was given the unique opportunity of accompanying the master classes and lessons of such lumi?naries as Lotte Lehmann, Jascha Heifetz, Pierre Bernac, and Gregor Piatigorsky. Following his formal education, he held the position of pianist for the US Army Chorus in Washington, DC for three years before
moving to New York where his busy inter?national career began in earnest in 1969.
In more recent years, invitations to conduct orchestral evenings have come with increasing fre?quency. Mr. Katz has partnered several of his soloists on the
podium for orchestras of the BBC, Houston, Washington, DC, Tokyo, New Haven and Miami. His editions of works by Handel and Rossini have been presented by the Metropolitan, Houston Grand Opera and the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. He has also been pleased to conduct several com?plete operas for UM's own Opera Theatre.
Finally, the professional profile of Martin Katz is completed with his commitment to teaching. Since 1983, he has been happy to call Ann Arbor home, chairing the School of Music's program in accompanying and chamber music. He has played a pivotal role in the training of countless young artists who are now working all over the world. The University has recognized this impor?tant work, making him the first Arthur Schnabel Professor of Music. He is also a frequent guest for master classes here and abroad, regularly visiting such places as the Manhattan School of Music, the Juilliard School, Tanglewood Music Center, UCLA, and the Santa Fe Opera.
This performance marks Martin Katz's sixteenth appearance under UMS auspices.

Born between 1554 ane 1557 in Venice
Died on August 12, 1612 in Venice
Cipriano de Rore
Born between 1515 and 1516 in Flanders
Died in September, 1565 in Parma, Italy
Messa La Notte di Natala: ...on Christmas eve... they celebrate Vespers, which with songs and soft sounds is sung by the salaried church musicians; and with others who have been selected in order to augment the numbers, they sing [Mass] later in the evening in 8, 10, 12 and 16 choirs [parts], to the stupor and wonder of all, especially the forestieri [those from outside Venice] who confess that never have they heard music more rare and special in any part of the world: and they speak the truth, as the musi?cians and singers, sounding most excellent [themselves], have moreover as their maestri and leaders those three famed Giovannis -Croce, known as Chiozotto, Gabrieli and Bassano.

Music and ceremony at St Mark's
The Basilica of San Marco served a dual function as both private chapel of the Doge and principal church of the State, and as such figured prominently in Venetian politi?cal life. With its own distinctive liturgy, a minutely detailed ceremonial, sumptuous mosaic decoration, works of art and magnif?icent music, the Basilica not only reflected vividly the worldly glories of the Serenissima Repubblica, but also served to illustrate a complex fusion of political and religious ideology. Differing ranks of feasts called for
specific types of music: in particular, the formal appearance of the Doge at Mass and Vespers on thirty or so days each year required the exposition of the great golden altar-piece: the Pala d'oro. The presence of instrumentalists and the performance of elaborate music -not only on the most important religious festivals of the year, but also on local feastdays which often became associated with political or historical events. These civic andante would occur not only on the most important religious festivals of the year, but also on local feastdays which often became associated with political or historical events.
The Cappella Marciana
Although famed throughout Italy, the Cappella Marciana was not especially large, comprising some twelve to sixteen singers with a small instrumental ensemble of cor-netts, sackbuts and one or two string players. It was often greatly augmented by freelance players, and occasionally by the Doge's own piffari e trombe. The State fanfare-trumpeters were also present at major events, contem?porary descriptions mentioning up to twenty-four trumpeters and drummers. Although both Giovanni and his uncle Andrea Gabrieli are the most important composers of the Venetian school, neither held the office of maestro di cappella but served as organists at St Mark's. As well as the Basilica's two famed organs it was also customary to hire chamber organs on major feast days. The division of vocal and instrumental forces into spatially-separated choirs {cori spezzati) is, of course, one of the most char?acteristic features of the Venetian repertoire, and there were at least seven areas around the altar area from which musicians per?formed, including the two organ galleries and the pulpitum magnum cantorum or bigonzo ('tub') by the screen. But we should not be misled by this: the musicians almost certainly faced inwards towards the altar;
even in the grandest polychoral pieces there is still a feeling of chamber music in the interplay between voices and instruments.
The Music
It is difficult to date most Venetian sacred repertoire precisely as so much was pub?lished in large, retrospective and often posthumous collections. Moreover, there is some evidence that music remained in repertoire decades after composition, stile antico polyphony rubbing shoulders with motets and concerti in a more up-to-date style. Although Giovanni Croce, maestro from 1603-1609 wrote a reasonable corpus of sacred music, only Giovanni Gabrieli seems to have composed regularly the large-scale, multi-voiced, polychoral concerto sonata and canzona.
The orindary of the Mass is sung in a setting by Cipriano de Rore (cl515-1565). In 1563 Rore was elected to succeed another great Flemish musician, Adriano Willaert, as Maestro di Cappella at the Basilica, which was, even at that date probably the most prestigious post for a musician working in Italy. But for whatever reason Rore's tenure at the Basilica was extremely short and he returned to Parma where he died in August or September a year later. Unsurprisingly Rore's sacred repertoire includes little if anything specifically written for the Basilica. His mass, which is based on Josquin's cele?brated Christmas motet Praeter rerum seriem, was composed for a former employer, Duke Ercole II of Ferrara, the text of the first tenor is a long cantusfirmus line to the words 'Hercules Secondus, Dux Ferrarie quartus et vivet' (Ercole II, fourth Duke of Ferrara lives now and forever). For this per?formance the text has been rewritten -as it was doubtless in former times -to express more Venetian sentiments. This mass is one of the most elaborate and spectacular parody settings of the entire renaissance. Admittedly Josequin's material is of stunning originality
in itself but Rore adds an extra soprano part to the original, making an already complex six-part texture into a glorious seven-part one. Perhaps most surprising is the way in which Rore anticipates many stylistic features which we would call baroque; indeed there are many passages which prefigure Monteverdi's music perhaps almost half a century ahead of their time.
Venetian masses were liberally embellished with extra-liturgical motets, sonatas and canzonas. Audite Principes well illustrates a typically Venetian fusion of religious and civic, calling upon the serenissimi principes, veneranda senectus and the praestantissimi patres of the State to lead the celebration of the saviour's birth. Salvator noster is another cori spezzati classic, its polychoral dialogue complemented by modern style duetting for virtuoso cornettists. Both these pieces -rarely performed as they are -are most usually heard with large numbers of singers, but in fact there is no choir suitable for a ripieno Cappella. It seems therefore likely that these pieces were intended for a large number of instruments and few solo voices -one recalls Dulcis Jesu, the Sonata con voce preserved in Kassel. Indeed a number of German sets of parts for Gabrieli's works confirm this style of performance.
O Jesu mi dulcissime is performed in the last of three eight-voice settings by Giovanni Gabrieli. The voice parts are all of nearly two octaves in range, which is certainly unusual, but instrumental participation would seem inappropriate in such a madri-galian, not to say mannerist, work. Gabrieli seems to have been especially drawn to the intimacy and pictorial quality of this partic?ular text and this work is undoubtedly of considerable emotional power. The final motet is the famous fourteen voice setting of Qiiem vidistis pastores one of two works, according to traditional music histories, in which Gabrieli abandons the polychoral style for the new-fangled basso continuo.
Certainly, as printed, the work resembles nothing else in Gabrieli's oeuvre. Whilst a program note is not the place to expound detailed arguments, it is possible that the version as published is the work of an editor or pupil working from a sketch of an incomplete work. In the opening section the voices have been sketched in with the bass, but the constant gaps in the texture imply a working out with instruments or other voices. Moreover, the opening sinfonia, and especially the final section are very crudely written, with constant doubling over three octaves -something not found elsewhere in this compser's meticulously well-written work. The vocal scoring too is suspect, as if the arranger, reading ci 14 at the top of the sketch has distributed the material over a large number of vocal parts. The version performed this evening is a speculative re?working based on the printed material but arranged in a more Gabrielian style, with a more typical scoring of six instruments, four soloists and a four-part cappella.
The Reconstruction
The sequence of music this evening takes the form of a liturgical reconstruction not only incorporating the texts and ceremonial procedures of the Venetian Rite, but also reflecting the musico-liturgical practices of the era. The plainchant has been researched from many unique sixteenth and seventeenth century Venetian liturgical sources by John Bettley.
In northern Italy it was customary to suppress certain items of the liturgy in order to place greater emphasis on extra-liturgical music. Most often the official text was said by the celebrant in secreto at the High Altar. This practice was never sanc?tioned by the official (Roman) authorities, but in Venice, more than anywhere else, it allowed music to take on ever-increasing importance in services. At St Mark's there
was even a rule allowing priests to be fined if they interrupted the music! Certain points in the mass were considered particularly suited to musical elaboration with toccatas, motets, sonatas and canzonas, especially the Gradual, Offertory, Elevation, Agnus Dei, Communion, Post Dommunion and Deo gratias. It is not yet clear how much of the official text was spoken, sotto voce, under such music, and in any case there seems to have been considerable flexibility in prac?tice. The latter part of the Mass is especially problematic in this respect. In Venice, the Agnus Dei was frequently omitted, and it is quite possible that almost all the chant items from the Preface onwards were covered by the multiplicity of musical substitutes. Venetian liturgical sources are always com?plex, and research is constantly developing; if some decision regarding minor aspects of this reconstruction are conjectural, it is nonetheless based on a thorough interpreta?tion of all the major sources.
In any case such details are relatively unimportant -the actual pieces performed on a Christmas eve in the early years of the seicento will of necessity remain speculative. More interesting is the possibility of recreat?ing something greater than the sum of the individual pieces, and to put all the music into a richer, more colorful and more dra?matic perspective. We may have lost our ability to respond to religous and civic ritual so beloved of late Renaissance Venice. But in reconstructing such services we can perhaps rediscover something of the artistic and spiritual riches of this great city at the zenith of her powers.

V. In illo tempore: exivit
edictum a Caesare Augusto, ut describerertur
universus orbis. Haec descriptio prima:
facta est a praeside Syriae Cyrino:
et ibant omnes ut profiterentus singuli
in suam civitatem. Ascendit autem et Ioseph
a Galilaea de civitate
Nazareth, In Iudaeam incivitatem
David, quae vocatur Bethlehem: eo quod
esset de domo et familia David,
ut profiterertur cum Maria desponsata sibi
uxore praegnante. Factum est autem, cum
essent ibi; impleti sunt dies ut pareret.
Et peperit filium suum primogenitum,
et pannis eum involvit, et reclinavit
eum in praesepio: quia non erat
eis locus in diversorio. Et pastores erant in
regione eadem vigilantes, et custodientes
vigilias noctis super gregem suum.
Et ecce Anglelus Domini stetit iuxta
illos, et timuerunt timore mago.
Et dixit illis Angelus: nolite timerer:
ecce einm evangelizo vobis gaudium
magnum, quod erit omni populo:
From the epistle of the apostle Paul to Titus. For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeard to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and wordly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. These things speak and exhort. In Jesus Christ our Lord (Titus 2:11-14)
May the Lord be with you.
And with thy spirit.
A reading from the holy Gospel
according to St Luke. Glory be to thee, O Lord!
And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria. And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethelehem (because he was of the house and lineage of David) to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, Lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear
quia natus est vobis hodie Salvator, qui est Christus Dominus, in vcivitatte David. Et hoc vobis signum: multitudo militiae caelestic, laudantium Deum, et dicentium: gloria in altissimis Deo, et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis.
R. Laus tibi Christe.
Credo
Credo in unum Deum
Patrem omnipotentem, factorem coeli
e terrae
visibilium omnium et invisibilium Et in unum Dominum Iesum Christum, Filium Dei unigenitum et ex Patre natum ante omnia saecula. Deum de Deo, Lumen de Lumine, Deum verum de Deo vero genitum, non factum,
consubstantialem Patri; per quern omnia facta sunt. Qui propter nos homines et propter nostram salutem descendit de coelis. Et incarnate est de Spiritu Sancto ex Maria Virgine, et homo factus est.
Crucifixus etiam pro nobis sub
Pontio Pilato; passus et sepultus est et resurrexit tertia die,
secundum Scripturas Et ascendit in coelum, sedet ad
dexteram Patris
Et iterum venturus est cum gloria, iudicare vivos et mortuos, cuius regni no erit finis. Et in Spiritum Sanctum, Dominum et vivificantem:
not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. (Luke 2: 1-14)
Praise be to thee, O Christ!
I believe in one God
the Father almighty, maker of heaven
and earth,
and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God of God, light of light, true God of true God, begotten, not made; being of
one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made. Who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven. And was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary; and was made man.
He was crucified also for us, under
Pontius Pilate
He suffered and was buried. And the third day He rose again
according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven. He sitteth at the
right hand of the Father.
And He shall come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead; of whose kingdom there shall be no end. And in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and giver of life,
qui ex Patre Filioque procedit. Qui cum Patre et Filio simul adoratur et conglorificatur: qui locutus est per prephetas.
Et in unam, sanctam,
catholicam et apostolicam Ecclesiam.
Confiteor unum baptisma
in remissionem peccatorum.
Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum,
et vitam venturi saeculi. Amen.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is meet and right to do so.
It is truly just and fitting, right and healthy that we should always and everywhere give thee thanks , holy Lord, Father almighty, eternal God. For by the mystery of the incarnate Word, the new light of your splendor has shone through our minds' eyes, that while we recognise the visible God, through him we are seized with love for the invisible. And therefore with angels and archangels, with thrones and dominations, and with whole army of the heavenly host, we sing a hymn of your glory, saying without end:

Paul McCreesh is among the most pre-eminent and versatile British conductors of the younger genera?tion and has an outstanding inter?national reputation for his work in renaissance and baroque music, most notably with the Gabrieli Consort and Players which he founded in 1982.
With his ensemble he has performed in concert, radio and on television in most of Europe's international festivals and concert halls including the BBC Proms, Vienna Konzerthaus, Bergen Festival, Glasgow Mayfest, Lucerne Festival, Cite de la Musique in Paris, Bremen Musikfest, Covent Garden Festival, Accademia Santa Cecilia Roma, the South Bank Centre, Jerusalem Festival, Polish Radio, Styriate Graz, the Palau de la Musica Barcelona, Flanders Festival, Utrecht Festival, Ludwigsburger Schlossfestspiele, and the Handelfestspiele in Halle.
As well as conducting established master?pieces by Monteverdi, Handel, Bach and Purcell he is especially renowned for his imaginative programming, often calling upon the very latest research and placing music within the framework of great historic events and ceremonies.
Since 1993, Paul McCreesh has enjoyed an exclusive recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon Archiv Production. His recorded repertoire includes music by Gabrieli, Monteverdi, Purcell, Praetorius, Palestrina, Josquin, Victoria and Morales, and forthcoming recordings of Bach and Handel. These recordings, including video productions, have scooped most of the major international recording prizes, including two Gramophone Awards, the Diapason D'Or the Deutschen Schallplatten Preis and two Edisons.
Away from his own ensemble, Paul McCreesh is noted for the breadth of his interests in later repertoire. He has performed Bruckner for the BBC and City of London Festival, Stravinsky, Haydn, Elgar and Faure
with the Northern Sinfonia in New Castle, and has appeared with the Orchestra Regionale Toscana in Florence, with the Netherlands Bach Society and the Netherlands Chamber Choir. He has also enjoyed con?ducting opera and stage productions in the UK, France, Holland and the US.
This performance marks Paul McCreesh's debut under UMS asupkes.
Since its founding by Paul McCreesh in 1982, the Gabrieli Consort & Players have gained an international reputation for their performances of Renaissance and Baroque music. The ensemble is best known for its extra?ordinary reconstructions of famous sixteenthand seventeenth-century musical events. Much of this success can be attributed to the extensive research by Paul McCreesh in preparation for each project.
In 1989 the Consort & Players undertook their first historical reconstruction with A Venetian Coronation 1595. Specifically, this consisted of music by Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli performed at the coronation of Doge Marino Grimani at San Marco in Venice. This mixture of High Mass and grand ceremonial caught the imagination of a public unfamiliar with much of the music, and has proved largely popular. In 1991 the recording received Gramophone's Award for "Best Early Music Recording," the Edison Award, and the ABC Award.
Subsequent reconstructions have been similarly successful: Venetian Vespers (ves?pers as it might have been in 1640's Venice), Christmas in Rome (Palestrina's Missa Hodie Christus Natus Est at Santa Maria Maggiore, Rome: filmed for TV, video and laser disc in 1992), and Lutheran Christmas Mass d620 by Michael Praetorius, with its colorful range of renaissance instruments and massed choirs. The latest project of this
kind took place recently at the Scuola di San Rocco in Venice, where Paul McCreesh ful?filled a long-held ambition by recreating and recording in sound and vision, on the 700th anniversary of the birth of San Rocco, a concert given at the Scuola in August 1608. Entitled Music at San Rocco, this extraordi?nary event features fifty-two performers, among them seven organists, and includes Giovanni Gabrieli's most majestic polychoral pieces, culminating in the monumental Magnificat for seven choirs. It was shown on European TV in 1996.
Paul McCreesh and the Gabrieli Consort & Players have extended their international concert, broadcasting, and recording activity. They often record for BBC Radio 3 and per?form throughout the UK, appearing at the BBC Proms, the South Bank, and at festivals including Oxford, Glasgow, York, Birming?ham, Covent Garden, and Spitalfields. Along with critically acclaimed performances at the BBC Proms, Vienna's Konzerthaus, and Cite de la Musique in Paris, they are regular guests at such leading European festivals as Lyon, Beaune, La Chaise Dieu, Flanders, and Utrecht.
In the field of music-theater Paul McCreesh and the ensemble made an original and well-received debut with a semi-staged production of Handel's Saul at the 1994 Covent Garden Festival in London. In 1995, Purcell's centenary year, they performed his dramatic masterpieces, King Arthur, The Fairy Queen, and Dido and Aeneas through?out Europe. Paul McCreesh and the Gabrieli Consort & Players record exclusively for Archiv Produktion.
This performance marks the Gabrieli Consort and Players' debut under UMS auspices.

They call Celia Cruz the Queen of Salsa, the greatest female singer to emerge from Cuba, and a living leg?end. Her rich contralto voice has thrilled audiences for over half a century, first as the toast of 1950s Havana, then in a series of films through the 1950s and 60s, and more recently in the movie of Oscar Hijuelos' book, The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love, in which she performed with her regular touring partner Tito Puente -the King of Mambo. As witnessed by this film, and her duet with David Byrne, "Loco de Amor," in his movie, Something Wild, she is one of the few Latin stars to have acquired an ail-American audience.
Born in the humble town of Santo Suarez in Havana, Cuba, she was one of fourteen children. She left Cuba after the 1959 revolution along with Cuba's most popular band, Sonora Matancera. In 1961, she became a permanent US citizen and had a contract to perform in the Hollywood Paladium. Celia Cruz has recorded with all the Latin greats including collaborations with Johnny Pacheco, Willie Colon, Papo Lucca and his Sonora Poncefia, and Pete "El Conde" Rodriguez.
The tributes to Celia Cruz are numer?ous: a Yale University honorary doctorate, a Hollywood star, a Grammy, a statue in the famous Hollywood wax museum, movie and theater appearances, and the keys to numerous cities. Her most recent honor came when President Bill Clinton presented her with the highest honor a contralto can receive, the National Medal of Arts, the nation's highest music award.
This performance marks Celia Cruz's debut under UMS auspices.
Jose Alberto "El Canario" is an authentic sonero who masters to perfection the art of improvising by putting together his great performing talent with his inner feelings. He was born on December 22,1957 in the picturesque village, Villa Consuelo, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. At an early age, he used to accompany his mother Adalgisa Andujar, a well-known dancer during the Golden era of Radio-Television Dominicana.
When he was seven years old, Jos? Alberto moved with his family to Puerto
Rico where he began
to demonstrate his musical talent while studying at the Antilles Military Academy. Later he moved to New York, making the city his personal and profes?sional headquarters. Jose Alberto has
recorded sixteen albums, two of which have gone gold. He has toured the US, Europe, Central and South America, and Japan and has received numerous awards.
This performance marks Jose Alberto's debut under UMS auspices.

Only a hundred years of musical composition are embraced by tonight's three groups of songs, but what important and diverse reper?toire this is! Important, for in the case of two of tonight's three com?posers, these songs represent their very last statements in this or any other genre. Diverse, for the texts which have inspired this music range from the profoundly emo?tional to the irreverently inconsequential. Thus the opportunities for both singer and pianist to create every conceivable mood and emotion could not be greater. Tonight's program encounters alienation, reverence, shame and pride; we can enjoy a new look at an exterminator and hear a portrait come to life; we will hear two serenades and two very different farewells. Tonight's program truly offers us a kaleidoscope of experiences in song.
Franz Schubert
Born on January 31, 1797 in
Himmelpfortgrund (now Vienna) Died on November 19, 1828 in Vienna
It is important to avoid thinking of these ten Schubert songs as "excerpts" from Schwanengesang, the composer's final opus. That group of fourteen songs containing the words of three poets was constructed by a well-intentioned publisher; it was never conceived by Schubert, whose cycles and groups had always been unified by a single poet. By choosing ten of these final Schubert songs, tonight's recital rejects any sense of obligation to a "complete" work which never existed.
This group begins with the only songs Schubert ever wrote to texts of Heinrich Heine. These songs have the fewest notes of any of his songs, but they contain the most intense atmospheres. The definition of a song had already been forever changed by
Schubert during the previous twenty years. An inexhaustible supply of melody, an end?less array of pictorial accompaniments, and an ability to manipulate harmonies in new and interesting ways had securely estab?lished Schubert as a master of songwriting. Now, only sixty days from his death, Schubert was pushed even further by Heine's words. In Der Atlas, one can hear the operas of Weber and even early Wagner yet to come and truly sense the triumph of oppression. Ihr Bild, using only unison con?trasted with the simplest harmonies, brings the beloved's picture to life but devastates the beholder in doing so. For relief comes tonight's first serenade, Das Fischermadchen. Here Schubert masquerades as simple and naive: the pianist's hands cover but two octaves, and the singer seems to understate his plea, but who can resist the sly invitation in this gem of a song Die Stadt strikes us as amazingly contemporary even now, as we hear Schubert dare to make us uncomfort?able, repeating the same gesture again and again. Then foghorns, the ocean's roar, the warmth of the setting sun are all captured in the very demanding Am Meer. Finally, the miraculous Doppelgdnger, which breaks new ground dramatically as well as musically. Here the composer achieves the ultimate synthesis of recitative and song, delivers both over an unyielding accompaniment, and sears us all in the process.
The remaining Schubert songs tonight are on poetry of Ludwig Rellstab, a close friend of the composer's. These are not life-changing, ironic or unforgettable poems, but they are typical of the verses which attracted Schubert's attention most often. Their charm and symmetry, their romance and desire seem to call out for music, and Schubert is happy to supply it. Tonight's second serenade (Standchen) is much more outgoing than its predecessor and is proba?bly Schubert's most beloved song. Guitars and woodwinds at the piano and a most
italianate melody guarantee a successful wooing. In Aufenthalt, we encounter an inconsolable wanderer who could almost become part of the Winterreise. In der Feme presents a very similar opening to that of Am Meer heard earlier, and its first two stro?phes feature Schubert again manipulating harmonies around the simplest of tunes as only he can. The second half of this song, however, suddenly becomes highly romantic in texture, clearly pointing the way to Brahms. We say goodbye to this wonderful group with Abschied, one of Schubert's most infectious perpetual motion creations. Although the pony's jaunty trot is constant, every possible harmonic and melodic adventure is explored. The motor rhythm in this song of farewell is an endless fount of joy and makes these nearly two hundred bars seem almost brief.
Maurice Ravel
Born on March 7, 1875 in Ciboure,
Basses-Py rentes Died on December 28, 1937 in Paris
Although Ravel was to live another five years, this trio of songs based on Cervantes' Don Quixote was the last music he completed. He was invited to collaborate on a film which was to have starred the great Russian bass, Fyodor Chaliapin, as the gallant knight. How fortunate for us (and for all baritones) that Ravel accepted the invitation, for even though the film was never made, this last opus was born. Ravel seems to have been obsessed with the non-French world. Indeed, amongst his works for voice, more than half deal with other cultures. Looking through these pages, one would have no idea that Ravel belonged to the impressionist movement. The piano accompaniment is spare, lean, and evokes simple guitar gestures or sixteenth-century woodwind colors. This cycle is not a story; rather it is three
tableaux in this celebrated character's life. Each song is musically based on an antique dance rhythm, and the result of Ravel's genius is the evocation not of 1932 but of 1588, not of France but of Spain at its noblest.
Hugo Wolf
Born on March 13, 1860 in Windischgraz,
Styria (Austria) Died on February 22, 1903 in Vienna
Tonight's last group of songs were all written in 1888 and thus fall, chronologically, halfway between our other two composers. But whereas Schubert and Ravel excelled in almost every musical genre, the name Hugo Wolf is only associated with vocal music, and mainly with song. Wolf reinvented the song in the same way that Wagner reinvented opera. It is not possible to speak of melody and accompaniment with Wolf; both parts are now inextricably bound up into one fused entity. And unlike Schubert, Brahms and Strauss, Wolf only had an appetite for texts of the highest literary merit, among them Goethe, Eichendorf, Michelangelo and Morike. His love of words is demonstrated by the fact that he insisted that his own name appear below that of the poet whenever his songs were published -quite a unique gesture for an ambitious young man trying to achieve some success! Mr. Hagegird has chosen three of Wolf's most delightful and humorous songs to close this concert. Goethe's ratcatcher seems to be much too easily distracted to be trusted at his job. Fussreise is probably the most carefree walk in all of song. The poem for Abschied, tonight's second farewell, must surely have appealed enormously to Wolf, himself a for?mer reviewer and someone who was forever being viciously denounced by his detractors. We can all join him and take a bit of vicarious pleasure in the sad fate of his uninvited critic.
Program notes by Martin Katz
Swedish baritone Hakan Hagegard's sophisticated artistry and keen sense of subtlety rank him amongst the world's most accomplished perform?ers. Catapulted into stardom by his delightful appearance as Papageno in Ingmar Bergman's film version of Mozart's The Magic Flute, he is equally at ease on the operatic stage, in recitals and in concerts.
Last season, Mr. Hagegard embarked on an extensive world tour consisting of recitals, concerts and opera performances. The tour began in Karlstad, Sweden -his birthplace -and took him to all five conti?nents. In addition to the world tour, Mr. Hagegard performed the premiere of a work by Dominick Argento in St. Paul, Minnesota with Frederica von Stade. He also performed at the Lyric Opera of Chicago, and sang in Paris with the Orchestre de Paris, as well as in Vienna in Segreto di Susanna.
Mr. Hagegard's subtle and aristocratic voice has been heard throughout the world's most distinguished opera houses and con?cert halls including Carnegie Hall, the Glyndebourne Opera, Covent Garden, La
Scala, Vienna, the Opera Bastille in Paris, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Grand Theatre of Geneva, the Sydney Opera House, Santa Fe, and the Deutsche Oper in Berlin.
A superlative recitalist, Mr. Hagegard specializes in the traditional German reper?toire and has recorded many of the great song cycles including Schubert's Winterreise, Schumann's Dichterliebe, Wolf's Italienisches Liederbuch and Grieg's Fifty Songs.
Mr. Hagegard's impressive discography comprises complete opera recordings, the great song cycles, sacred music, Mozart arias, Mahler songs and contemporary works as well as popular tunes. His recording of the Brahms Requiem with James Levine and the Chicago Symphony won a Grammy Award in 1984.
In 1985 Mr. Hagegard was appointed vocalist to His Majesty the King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden and in 1989, he became a member of the Royal Swedish Academy.
In 1992 Mr. Hagegard opened the HageGarden Music Center in Brunskog, Sweden, an hour from Stockholm. This unique complex was built with the idea that performers who work all around the world sometimes need some respite, a place where they can pause, study, meditate and renew themselves in an atmosphere of peace and nature. The Center, built amongst the forests of Sweden, welcomes students, musicians, actors and other performers for master classes, seminars, retreats and recordings. The acoustics of the main hall are of the highest caliber and BMG's first recording of the Grieg songs was done at HageGarden. The Center features high-tech media equipment as well as the latest in modern telecommu?nications. It includes more than twenty hotel rooms and is open year round.
Hakan Hagegard was born in Sunne, Sweden and began his musical training at the municipal school of music. He contin?ued his education at the Royal Academy of
Music in Stockholm before going on to the Mozarteum in Salzburg. He then studied with Tito Gobbi in Florence and Gerald Moore in London. He made his Metro?politan Opera Debut in 1978 as Malatesta in Don Pasquale. He lives in Brunskog on the grounds of HageGarden.
This performance marks Hdkan Hagegdrd's fourth appearance under UMS auspices.
Warren Jones frequently performs with many of today's most well-known artists, including Marilyn Home, Carol Vaness, Barbara Bonney, Ruth Ann Swenson, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Samuel Ramey, Hakan Hagegard, Olaf Baer, Bo Skovhus, and James Morris. In the past he has partnered such great singers as Kathleen Batde, Judith Blegen, Tatiana Troyanos, and Martti Talvela. His collaborations have earned consistently high praise from many publications: the Los Angeles Times has named him "a paragon for all to hear," and Le Figaro of Paris remarked that he performed there "with a devilish, diabolic facility, employing an ease which permitted him to be at one with his partner."
Mr. Jones has been featured in an American television interview with Eugenia Zuckerman on CBS Sunday Morning, in which his work as a performer and teacher was explored, and he has appeared on tele?vision across the United States with Luciano Pavarotti. He has often been a guest artist at Carnegie Hall and in Lincoln Center's Great Performers series, as well as the festivals of Tanglewood, Ravinia, and Caramoor. His international travels have taken him to recitals at the Salzburg Festival, Milan's Teatro alia Scala, the Maggio Musicale Festival in Florence, Paris' Theatre des Champs-Elysees and Opera Bastille, Wigmore Hall and Queen Elizabeth Hall
in London, the Konzerthaus of Vienna, Suntory Hall in Tokyo, the Cultural Centre in Hong Kong, and theaters throughout Scandinavia and Korea. Mr. Jones has been invited twice to the White House by American presidents to perform at concerts honoring the presidents of Russia and Italy, and he was featured in the United Nations memorial concert and tribute to Miss Audrey Hepburn which was telecast world?wide following Miss Hepburn's death.
Recently three new recordings have been released featuring Mr. Jones: i carry your heart, with Ruth Ann Swenson on EMI, Every Time We Say Goodbye with Samuel Ramey on the SONY Classic label, and Faure Songs with Barbara Bonney and Hakan Hagegard on RCA Red Seal. Two other RCA compact discs also feature Mr. Jones: Strange Hurt, in which he collabo?rates with Metropolitan Opera soprano Harolyn Blackwell in contemporary American music of Ricky Ian Gordon; and Divas in Song, a live recording of Marilyn Home's sixtieth birthday concert from Carnegie Hall. In addition, a critically acclaimed survey of songs by Edward Grieg with Mr. Hagegard has been issued by RCA. Mr. Jones' recording of Copland and Ives with Mr. Ramey was nominated for a Grammy Award, and he can be seen on the best-selling Deutsche Grammophon video of his Metropolitan Museum recital with Kathleen Battle.
This performance marks Warren Jones' third appearance under UMS auspices.

UMS Ushers
Without the dedicated service of UMS' Usher Corps our concerts would be absolute chaos. Ushers serve the essential functions of assist?ing patrons with seating and distributing pro?gram books. With their help, concerts begin peacefully and pleasantly.
The UMS Usher Corps comprises 275 individuals who volunteer their time to make your concertgoing experience more pleasant and efficient. The all-volunteer group attends an orientation and training session each fall. Ushers are responsible for working at every UMS performance in a specific hall (Hill, Power, or Rackham) for the entire concert season.
Our ushers must enjoy their work because 85 of them return to volunteer each year. In fact some ushers have served for 30 years or longer. If you would like information about joining the UMS usher corps, call head usher Kathi Reister at 313.913.9696.
