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 experience the joys of musicmaking with the wonderful 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 information kiosk in the lobby, serving on the UMS Advisory Committee, helping prepare our artists' welcome 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 information kiosk 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 734.647.117'4, or send an e-mail message to kenfisch@umich.edu.
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 spectrum of today's vigorous and exciting live performing arts world. Over its 119 years, strong leader?ship 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. 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 ensembles.
Since that first season in 1880, UMS has expanded greatly and now presents the very best from the full spectrum of the performing arts -internationally renowned recitalists and orchestras, dance and chamber ensembles, jazz and world music performers, and opera and theatre. Through educational endeavors, com?missioning of new works, youth programs, artists residencies and other collaborative pro?jects, UMS has maintained its reputation for quality, artistic distinction and innovation. The Musical Society now hosts over 70 concerts and more than 150 educational events each season. UMS has flourished with the support of a generous community 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 campus, and a regular collaborator with many University units, the Musical Society is a separate not-for-profit organization, which supports itself from ticket sales, corporate and individual contribu?tions, foundation and government grants, and endowment income.
UMS Choral Union
Thomas Sheets, conductor
For more information about the UMS Choral Union, please call 734.763.8997.
Throughout its 119-year history, the University Musical Society Choral Union has performed with many of the world's distinguished orches?tras 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 per?formances of Handel's Messiah. Four years ago, the Choral Union further enriched that tradition when it began appearing in concert with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Among other works, the chorus has joined the DSO in Orchestra Hall and Meadowbrook for subscrip?tion performances of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, Orff's Carmina Burana, Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe, Prokofiev's Aleksandr Nevsky, and has recorded Tchaikovsky's The Snow Maiden with the orchestra for Chandos, Ltd.
In 1995, the Choral Union entered into 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 Verdi's Requiem. Last sea?son, the Choral Union again expanded its scope to include performances with the Grand Rapids Symphony, joining with them in a rare presen?tation of Mahler's Symphony No. 8.
In this, its 119th season, the Choral Union will present Mendelssohn's Elijah with the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Thomas Sheets. The chorus will also perform Porgy and Bess with the BirminghamBloomfield Symphony Orchestra and The Dream ofGerontius with the Toledo Symphony.
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.
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 in 1913, 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 highlight everything from the softest high notes of vocal recitalists to the grandeur of the finest orches?tras, 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.
The 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 improved wheelchair seating (1995), decreased the seating capacity to its current 4,163.
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
Sixty 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
Hill Auditorium
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 the 1,129-seat 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 education, is the fact that neither of the Rackhams ever attended the University of Michigan.
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, together 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 interest?ed, realizing that state and federal government were unlikely to provide financial support for
the construction of a new theatre.
The Power Center opened in 1971 with the world premiere of The Grass Harp (based on the novel by Truman Capote). No seat in the Power Center is more than 72 feet from the stage. The lobby of the Power Center fea?tures two hand-woven tapestries: Modern Tapestry by Roy Lichtenstein and Volutes by Pablo Picasso.
Michigan Theater
The historic Michigan Theater opened January 5,1928 at the peak of the vaudeville movie palace era. Designed by Maurice Finkel, the 1,710-seat 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. Restoration of the bal?cony, 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 building, 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 pro?grammatic 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 cele?brates the alto voice with recitals by Marilyn Home, David Daniels, and Susanne Mentzer.
U-M Museum of Art
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 set?ting, the Museum of Art offers visitors a rich and diverse permanent collection, supple?mented by a lively, provocative series of special exhibitions and a full complement of inter?pretive programs. UMS presents two special concerts in the Museum in the 1997-98 season.
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.
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.
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:
Master of Arts Interview Series
In collaboration with Michigan Radio WUOM WFUMWVGR, the Institute for the Humanities, and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender, UMS presents a series of informal and engaging dialogues with UMS Artists.
The American String Quartet will be interviewed in conjunction with the Beethoven the Contemporary Series and will discuss their commitment to contemporary classical music and its future.

Introduction
In the long and illustrious history of recitals under the UMS aegis, tonight's concert is the first to feature a counter?tenor as soloist with piano in a traditional recital format. To be sure, several counter?tenors -including Mr. Daniels -have appeared here prior to this evening, but those occasions have been Handel's Messiah or other "early music" presentations, where?as only sixty percent of tonight's repertoire is music which would ever have featured this particular voice type. We are now in the midst of such a countertenor "vogue" as has never existed. Ironically, we must remem?ber that nearly two centuries of singing cen?tered around this kind of vocal sound.
Call the singer a falsettist, a male alto, a contraltist or a countertenor ... these all amount to the same thing: a normal, mature and masculine instrument which, as a result of developing its falsetto (head) voice to a highly evolved degree, sings exclusively in the contralto or mezzo-soprano register. Various social, political and theological rea?sons first banned women from performing in certain venues, and thus created the need for the male treble voice. Later, quite a differ?ent rationale prevented this voice from appearing on concert stages and in salons. Even in our "enlightened" century, counter?tenors have been confined to early music or the very occasional modern score. Only in the last two decades have conductors and audiences begun to be more open to hearing and accepting this voice in the full range of vocal repertoire. As a result, this particular UMS series mirrors today's new attitude, fea?turing, as it does, artists of both sexes, and the notion that great singing, artistry and sincere expression can transcend mere gender. Of course, Poulenc and Brahms never dreamed of their songs being executed in falsetto by counter-tenor, but then ... did Handel ever imagine Marilyn Home
Program
I
Beethoven will never be known as a song composer, although he has created marvelous gems and is even credited with writing the very first song-cycle. Most of us think of him first as a titan, a master of the large form, a revolution?ary who would risk beginning a concerto with the piano soloist or adding a choir to a symphony. Schubert's modest parlor evenings of song singing for friends are not for Beethoven. But occasionally he will emulate Schubert, and even more occasionally beat him at his own game. Schubert's setting of this same poem is genuinely lovely, but has never become the favorite which opens tonight's concert. A sense of two-part aria is present here, with lyricism and cantabile for both performers at the outset, and a rapid "cabaletta" wherein enthusiasm and fervor are primary. Of special interest are the song's final measures, a romantic rather than a classic ending; Beethoven refuses to leave things breathless and insists on one last gentle and worshipful view of the beloved.
II
The four pieces which comprise tonight's second group come under the collective heading Arie Antiche (Ancient Airs). Hundreds of seventeethand eighteenth-century arias and songs by Italians or others writing in the Italian style have come down to us through various editors and collectors. Rarely is more than a smattering of information available as to the original musical text or the dramatic context. To make matters worse, these melodies have acquired spurious notes, questionable romantic gestures, and unstylistic ornaments as they were used to teach the basics of bel canto singing in ages not known for their scholarship or research. Try as we may to be authentic today, precious little exists to vali?date our musical decisions; a performer must base his choices on general tenets of style
and educated guesses. Nothing is known about the first two arias, save that Caldara was Venetian and has nearly a hundred operas to his credit and that Lotti was a wildly popular madrigalist of the day. A bit more can be ascertained about Cesti: he held the post of Court Composer in Vienna, the same post Salieri would occupy in Mozart's time; this plaintive strophic aria is from his first opera. Finally, one can easily hear that Gluck's aria is from a slightly later time and style, and here at last we stand on firm ground for we have Gluck's original inten?tions in writing. In this aria which opens the opera, Paris arrives to woo Helen of Troy (and thereby launch the Trojan wars) but he does not see her; rather, he senses her pres?ence and responds with this highly erotic lovesong. With a skilled, stylistic interpreter, all these minature treasures can lose their too familiar identities as mere singing exer?cises and reassume their proper roles as important vehicles for expression from a time when great singing was the norm. Ann Arbor has been fortunate of late to hear these Arie Antiche only from singers who recognize and realize the potential of this genre, first Cecilia Bartoli and now David Daniels.
Ill
Italian operatic necessities of Handel's time demanded treble singing with heroic, virile, masculine personality and attitude. Only the castrato could provide this, and thus the cry of "Viva il coltello!" ("long live the knife!") was heard wherever baroque opera in Italian was performed. Today, countertenors assume these roles and the most accomplished of them give us the real sense of the technical and artistic athletes which their neutered predecessors were. These predecessors were superstars, and their fame and prestige has never been equalled. Both of tonight's arias were written for this era's greatest castrato, Senesino, and one gets a sense of his influ-
ence when one learns that Handel acceded to his every wish: which pitch should begin his every aria, and even which vowel was desired on that pitch! In the recitative and aria from Tolomeo, Handel has created an unusually theatrical moment, even for him. The hero has taken a potion he believes is poison, and is thus singing what he believes is his farewell. Constant decorations in the orchestra provide his tears, and we are in the very dark world of b-flat minor. This is a da capo aria, the predominant choice of form at that time, but Handel's sense of theatre would not allow him to finish the aria as we expect. The second aria from Rodelinda represents the height of baroque virtuosity. Added as a final showpiece for the opera's hero, the singer is expected to display the instrumentalist's ease and agility, dealing with cascades of notes.
IV
Brahms' love of burnished mahogany has proven a godsend to any instrument which naturally produces such a shade. As a result, the repertoires for low voice and for viola have been wonderfully enriched with impor?tant pieces from his pen. The two viola sonatas from Op. 120 doubled that instrument's romantic chamber music overnight, and the Op. 53 Alto Rhapsody, along with countless songs originally in low keys achieve the same for the vocal repertoire. In a letter to Clara Schumann, Brahms expressed great pride and affection for the aforesaid rhapsody and even more particularly for these two songs which we hear tonight, wherein both of these favored instruments join together. In Riickert's haunting poem of bittersweet yearning, Brahms has given the viola the role of the breeze, now restless, now serene, while the singer's broad and sweeping lines seek the peace so rarely found. The second song takes a childlike Christmas carol played by the viola as its inspiration. The form Brahms has chosen for this song traces the
poem's architecture completely, as Mary moves from gentle lullaby to heated con?cern, from a glimpse into Jesus' future pain and finally back to the manger's domestic bliss. Throughout these songs, the piano provides a rich background for the two instruments, but never assumes a protagonist's role.
V
Twentieth-century French music has suc?ceeded in blending the salon, the concert hall, the nightclub, and in Poulenc's case, even the church in ways never contemplated in other countries. No disrespect is intended by these composers. Ripe harmonies and piano figurations which have taken on "cocktail" implications today are used equal?ly in sacred and ribald contexts by these Gallic masters. The songs by Messager and Sauguet were originally to be found in larg?er operas or operettas, but were then pub?lished separately, capitalizing on their suc?cesses. Messager's potential sentimentality is rescued by sophistication and charm; the Sauguet Creole lullaby is an example of how the French adore cultures more relaxed than their own. Poulenc is, of course, France's primary song composer in this genre, and has left an enormous legacy from which today's singer can select treasures. Priezpour paix attracted the pacifist and devout Catholic in Poulenc, and he has fashioned a gentle, powerful plea which transcends its sixteenth-century text with its timelessness. The group's last two songs show the sensual and even bawdy side of this saintsinner composer. The text to La belle jeunesse, like the prayer for peace, is also from a much earlier century, and it is amusing to see how eternal Naughtiness is!
VI
The character of Orpheus has inspired writ?ers, composers, indeed all creative artists
since the myths surrounding him were first told. Shakespeare, Tennessee Williams, Monteverdi, Vaughan-Williams, Offenbach (who turns him into a joke) and of course, Gluck, whose music we have already sam?pled this evening, have all devoted extensive inspiration to this "mere" mortal who creat?ed music. Arias of this importance are only born when an emotional crossroads is reached; a character must turn to melodic invention of this magnitude when all else fails. Having lost his beloved Eurydice, Orpheus suffers a journey to the underworld, battles with the Furies, conquers all and leads his love out of darkness and death, with the sole condition that she not look at him. She cannot keep her bargain, turns, and... dies a second time. Gluck, the reformer of opera, banishes all complexity, all decoration, and creates a rondo-aria in C Major, wherein Orpheus pours out his over?whelming despair, his emptiness, his lack of direction for the future. Since 1762, this melody has remained on every opera lover's list of hit-tunes, and provides a shining example for us all of how simplicity and directness of expression can touch us so deeply.

included his debut with the Munich Staatsoper as Nero in Monteverdi's L'Incoronazione di Poppea as well as his first recital at the Edinburgh Festival. He made his debut with New York City Opera this past October as Arsamenes in Handel's Xerxes (the role he sang with Boston Lyric Opera in 1996) and also debuts this spring with San Francisco Opera as Nero. In addition to his operatic roles, Mr. Daniels opened the 1997-98 season of Great Performers at Lincoln Center in recital at Alice Tully Hall and also sings this Ann Arbor recital and a recital in Washington, DC. In recent seasons David Daniels has appeared as soloist with a number of sym?phony orchestras including the New World Symphony in Miami conducted by John Nelson. This season he makes orchestral appearances with the symphonys of San Francisco and St. Louis as well as appearing in both San Francisco and the Brooklyn Academy of Music with Philharmonia Baroque conducted by Nicholas McGegan.
An exclusive artist for solo recordings on the EMI label, David Daniels' first CD, an album of Handel arias, is scheduled to be recorded in 1998.
Following his riveting Glyndebourne Festival Opera debut in 1996 as Didymus in Peter Sellar's critically acclaimed production of Handel's Theodora, highlights of David
Daniels' 1996-97 season included his London and New York recital debuts at Wigmore Hall and Lincoln Center, respectively. He also appeared in London as Oberon in A Midsummer Night's Dream with English National Opera and with Los Angeles Opera as L'Humanita FragilitaAnfinomo in Monteverdi's l Ritorno d'UHsse in Patria. Critics have unanimously praised Mr. Daniels as a virtually flawless countertenor in his role of Emperor Nero which he performed with Florida Grand Opera the same season. He made his highly acclaimed debut in this role with Glimmerglass Opera in 1994 direct?ed by Jonathan Miller and sang its reprise in 1996 at the Brooklyn Academy Music.
David Daniels appeared as a soloist in UMS' 1994 and 1997 Messiah performances. This recital marks his 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 collab?orators, he has been in constant demand by our most celebrated vocal soloists for more than a quarter-century. This season marks his thirty-first collabora?tive year with Marilyn Home. This is a part?nership 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 figure 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 accompa?nying 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
Martin Katz
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 pre?sented by the Metropolitan, Houston Grand Opera and the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. He has also been pleased to con?duct several complete 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 important 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 Matin Katz's seven?teenth appearance under UMS auspices.
Jeanne Mallow descends from a long line of distinguished musicians. Her grandmother was Lillian Fuchs, vio?list; her great uncle is Joseph Fuchs, violinist; her mother is Barbara Stein Mallow, cellist; and her aunt is Carol Stein Amado, violinist. She began her studies initially as a violin?ist and, as a violinist received scholarships to the Fontainbleu School of Music, Kneisel Hall, Blue Hill, Main and Fellowships to the Aspen Music Festival. She studied at Indiana University with Joseph Gingold, at SUNY Purchase with Daniel Phillips, and with Paul Kantor in Ann Arbor.
In recent years, she felt more and more drawn to the deeper sonorities of the viola, and in 1994 exchanged the violin for the viola. In 1995 she was again awarded a fel?lowship to the Aspen Music Festival; this time as a violist. She continues working with Paul Kantor in Ann Arbor and is a teaching fellow at Hamptons Summer Music in East Hampton, NY.
This performance marks Jeanne Mallow's debut appearance under UMS auspices.

Communion
in honor of the composer's seventieth birthday
Tzvi Avni
Born in 1927 in Germany
Communion is the second movement of my symphony Desert Scenes. Completed in 1991, the work was premiered that year by the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Zubin Mehta. Approximately five minutes long, Communion opens with a short proclamation followed by a lyric, prayer-like melody played in the low range of the violins with light accompaniment by the rest of the strings, timpani, and harp, and short figures in the bass clarinet.
The whole opening is dominated by the tone of C, symbolizing perhaps a kind of Credo. Later, the orchestral texture becomes more dense and some rhythmical elements appear, building up to a climax of a declam?atory character. The strings play an impor?tant role throughout this movement, which, towards the end gets back to the initial C, fading out gradually.

Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche, Op. 28 (Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks)
Richard Strauss Born on June 11, 1864 in Munich Died on September 8, 1949 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen
When Richard Strauss first contemplated a musical version of the story of Till Eulenspiegel, he was planning a comic opera for which he attempted to write his own libretto. The thirty-year-old composer had already written the words and music to an opera, Guntram, a thoroughly Wagnerian music drama. Guntram had been a failure,
however; and Strauss was looking for a less esoteric subject for his second opera.
Till Eulenspiegel is a familiar figure in German folklore, a prankster who lived in the fourteenth century and who became the hero of a Volksbuch, a sort of popular novel widely disseminated in the sixteenth centu?ry. (It also appered in an English translation at the time, in which Eulenspiegel's name was translated as "Howleglas" [Eule = owl; Spiegel = mirror].) Eulenspiegel was a mas?ter of practical jokes, a defender of the sim?ple people against the powers that be, whether secular or ecclesiastic. He outwitted the learned, poked fun at the rich and typi?cally beat others at their own games.
However, Strauss soon dropped his plans for an Eulenspiegel opera. Although a now-obscure contemporary of Strauss, Cyrill Kistler, had written an opera on Till, for Strauss the subject did not have enough dramatic potential. As he wrote in a letter:
I have already put together a very pretty scenario, although the figure of Master Till Eulenspiegel does not quite appear before my eyes; the book of folk-tales only outlines a rogue with too superficial a dramatic personality -the developing of his character on more profound lines after his trait of contempt for humanity also presents considerable difficulties.
Strauss finally opted for a purely instru?mental treatment of Till and wrote what many regard his orchestral masterpiece. Till Eulenspiegel was his fourth tone poem, pre?ceded by Macbeth, Don Juan, and Death and Transfiguration, works that had established him practically overnight as the leading young German composer.
Strauss chose to give his Till Eulenspiegel tone poem the form of a rondo, in which a recurrent central theme alternates with vari?ous episodes. With its constant repetitions of the main theme, the rondo hardly seems
to be an appropriate way to tell the succes?sive stages of a story. But Strauss's rondo is not the classical form of Mozart and Beethoven in which each recurrence of the rondo theme is exactly identical. Strauss varies his rondo theme extensively each time, subjecting it to ingenious transforma?tions that completely alter the theme's char?acter while preserving its pitch sequence. It is through these transformations that Till's adventures are told. The theme is adapted to many different situations, such as Till quar?reling with the market-women, wooing a girl, mocking a priest and so forth. The episodes represent some of the other char?acters in the story such as the townspeople or the learned professors whom Till con?founds.
The music of Till Eulenspiegel quickly became known for the virtuoso treatment of the orchestral instruments. The main theme is presented by a horn solo that is one of the most magnificent (and most dif?ficult) in the entire orchestral literature, and shows Strauss's special fondness for the instrument. (His father, a member of the Munich Court Orchestra and professor at the Royal School of Music, was one of the greatest horn players of the day. Strauss had written works for the horn when he was fourteen, and wrote a concerto for the instrument in 1883.) Equally famous in Till is the use of the D clarinet, a smaller clar?inet with a high-pitched sound that had sel?dom been used before as a solo instrument.
Unlike the historic Till who died in bed as a victim of an epidemic, Strauss's hero is put to death for his pranks. The condemna?tion and the execution are depicted by a sudden interruption of the Till theme, some menacing drumrolls, and a descending major seventh in the bassoons, horns, and trombones that seems to say "der Tod" (death). Till is hanged and his last breath is marked by a final D-clarinet solo followed by a loud trill on the flute. The tone-poem
concludes with the archaic-sounding "once-upon-a-time" melody with which it began, adding a theatrical touch to the tone poem after all. It is in fact as if the curtain rose and then fell on the story of the great rogue.

Symphony No. 3 in E-flat Major, Op. 55 ("Eroica")
Ludwig van Beethoven
Born on December 15 or 16, 1770 in
Bonn, Germany Died on March 26, 1827 in Vienna
Natura non facit saltus -nature takes no leaps. This principle, first formulated by the great mathematician and philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz around 1700, has influenced not only the natural sciences but also the views of many historians of the arts, including music. All too often, musicologists take great pains to trace the step-by-step evolution of musical styles, focusing on the gradual changes introduced at each stage of a particular composer's development.
We must recognize, however, that there are cases when this theory breaks down, and we are faced with works whose sudden emergence has in no way been foreshadowed by the composer's earlier music. Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 is such a composition. It represents a quantum leap within the com?poser's oeuvre in almost every respect. The sheer size of the work -almost twice the length of the average eighteenth-century symphony -was a surprise, to say nothing of what was a true revolution in musical technique and, even more importantly, in musical expression.
What brought about these rapid and radical changes in Beethoven One of the factors was surely Beethoven's encroaching deafness, which first became manifest in
1802, the year Beethoven wrote his deeply moving Heiligenstadt Testament. According to musicologist Maynard Solomon, Beethoven's struggle to derive increased inner energy from this handicap was one of the sources of his so-called "heroic" style. Beethoven's personal crisis was compounded by what Solomon called his "crisis of belief": the composer's highly ambivalent attitude towards the dramatic political events of his day, dominated by the figure of Napoleon Bonaparte.
The story about the symphony's torn-up dedication to Bonaparte is well known (see box, next page). As always, however, reality is more complex than what a simple story can express. First of all, Beethoven had been considering two different ways of linking Napoleon's name to the symphony. One would have been to dedicate it to him, the other to entitle it "Bonaparte;" the latter option would have allowed Beethoven to dedicate the work to Prince Lobkowitz and receive a fee in return.
But Beethoven had uneasy feelings about his entire situation in Vienna, and his dependence on artistocratic patronage in particular. He longed for more artistic freedom and for a while contemplated a move to Paris, where he hoped to establish himself as a "freelance" composer. A "Bonaparte" symphony could have been helpful to Beethoven in building a career in France. But these dreams never materialized, and the symphony was published in 1806 as Sinfonia eroica composta per festeggiare il sowenire di un grand Uomo ("Heroic sym?phony composed to celebrate the memory of a great man") with a dedication to Lobkowitz.
However, there are deeper reasons why Beethoven had identified with Napoleon in the first place. He had sympathized with the French Revolution since his time in Bonn, and, like many intellectuals of his time, was fascinated by Napoleon as a powerful leader
who had single-handedly changed the course of history. At the same time, he despised tyranny in all its forms.
The subject of the Symphony No.3 seems to be less Bonaparte himself than Beethoven's struggle to come to terms with this mighty and ambivalent leader -along with Beethoven's personal struggle in the face of his deafness. These struggles are manifest in the high passion and violent harmonic clashes of the first movement. The hero is buried in the second-movement funeral march, yet, as French novelist Romain Rolland has written in his book on Beethoven, "never has he been more truly alive: his spirit hovers above the coffin that is borne on the shoul?ders of humanity." Finally, in the third and fourth movements, Beethoven celebrates the victory that the hero (Beethoven himself) has won over the enemy (deafness), and the ending of the work leaves us with the strong sense that all earlier conflicts have been resolved.
The opening "Allegro con brio" is Beethoven's longest symphony movement aside from the finale of the Ninth. In it, some of the basic procedures of Classical sonata form (presentation and transformation of themes; traversal of various keys before a return to the initial tonality) are carried to a point where they take on an entirely new meaning. They become elements of a drama of unprecedented intensity. The themes are shorter than in most earlier symphonies and are more open-ended, lending themselves particularly well to modifications of various sorts. The develop?ment section -in which most of the thematic transformations and key changes take place -is much longer than the preceding expo?sition (in Beethoven's earlier works they were equal in length, or the exposition was longer). The Coda at the end of the movement
is also of extraordinary proportions and effectively functions as a second development area. Despite this great attention to motivic details, however, the movement's momentum is unbroken; it is a single chain of musical gestures going without interruption from beginning to end.
The second movement bears the title "Marcia funebre" (Funeral March). It is in the tragic key of c minor, with a middle section in C Major. The music begins softly and rises to a powerful, dramatic climax. After some extensive contrapuntal develop?ment in the middle of the movement, the main theme's final return is interrupted by rests after every three or four notes, as if the violins were so overcome by grief that they could barely play the melody.
In the third and fourth movements, Beethoven managed to ease the feeling of tragedy without letting the tension subside. The third-movement Scherzo begins with two notes repeated in an undertone that evolve into a theme only gradually. The somewhat more relaxed Trio belongs almost entirely to the three horns. At the return of the scherzo, several changes are introduced, including an unexpected break in the even pulsation as the triple meter changes to duple for a moment. The Coda pretends to leave the home key, only to reinforce it all the more powerfully.
The last movement has an interesting history. Beethoven used its main theme in no fewer than four of his compositions: first in a contra-dance for orchestra, next in the last movement of the ballet The Creatures of Prometheus (both in 1800-01), then in the Variations for Piano, Op. 35 (1802), and lastly, in the Symphony No. 3. In the last instance, Beethoven isolated the bass line of the contradance melody and made it into his theme for variations, of which the contradance melody is but one. It then disappears as the bass line is elaborated upon contrapuntally and in various other ways, and returns at
the most unexpected moments. The individ?ual variations are integrated into a single, continuous musical form. There is a minor-key variation with a distinct Hungarian flavor, and another one that turns the contra-dance theme into a slow aria. An enormous crescendo leads to the short Presto section that ends the symphony.
Program note by Peter Laki
From the Recollections of Ferdinand Ries:
In this symphony Beethoven had Buonaparte in mind, but as he was when he was First Consul. Beethoven esteemed him greatly at the time and likened him to the greatest Roman consuls. I as well as several of his more intimate friends saw a copy of the score lying upon his table with the word "Buonaparte" at the extreme top of the title page, and at the extreme bottom "Luigi van Beethoven," but not another word. Whether and with what the space between was to be filled out, I do not know. I was the first to bring him the intelligence that Buonaparte had pro?claimed himself emperor, whereupon he flew into a rage and cried out: "Is he then, too, nothing more than an ordi?nary human being Now he, too, will trample on all the rights of man and indulge only his ambition. He will exalt himself above all others to become a tyrant!" Beethoven went to the table, took hold of the title page by the top, tore it in two, and threw it on the floor. The first page was rewritten and only then did the symphony receive the title "Sinfonia eroica."
Tzvi Avni, one of Israel's foremost composers, was born in Germany in 1927 and came to Israel as a child. He studied music in Israel and the United States. His works, several of which won prizes, include a wide range of symphonic, vocal, choral, chamber, and solo pieces, as well as electronic music and music for art films, radio plays, and ballets. They are often performed in Israel and abroad and many of them have been issued on record?ings and CD's. Constantly active in Israel's public musical life, Tzvi Avni chaired, among others, the music committee of the National Council for Culture and Art, the Israel Composers' League, and the jury of the Arthur Rubenstein Piano Master Competition. He currendy serves as Chairman of the Jeunesses Muskales Movement in Israel. Since 1971, Professor Avni has been a mem?ber of the faculty at the Jerusalem Rubin Academy of Music, where he was head of the Theory and Composition Department, and Director of the Electronic Music Studio.
One of the leading orchestral and operatic conductors on the interna?tional scene, Zubin Mehta has had a remarkable association with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra for more than three decades. He was named the Orchestra's music direc?tor in 1969, and appointed Music Director for Life in 1981. Mr. Mehta's concerts, recordings and tours on five continents with the Israel Philharmonic have resulted in more than 1600 performances.
Mr. Mehta first conducted the Israel Philharmonic in 1961, when both he and the Orchestra were twenty-five years old, and the bond established between them at that time has grown into what Mr. Mehta has called a "lasting marriage." His passion-
ate allegiance to the Orchestra stems from his loyalty to the land of Israel and the kin?ship he feels with the Jewish people, because he shares the devotion to music that has always been an integral part of their spirit and tradition.
At times of war and crisis in Israel's his?tory, Mr. Mehta has often canceled other obligations to be with the IPO and express his solidarity with his musicians. During the Gulf War, for example, he conducted perfor?mances during Scud missile attacks and during the 1967 Six Day War, he left a Metropolitan Opera tour to catch the last plane to Israel before the airport in Tel Aviv was closed. He has conducted concerts for military units and led the Orchestra at many important national events. Highlights of his performances with the Israel Philharmonic all over the world include memorable, emotional tours of Russia, Hungary and Poland, and a 1994 tour of China and India. Mr. Mehta considers his foreign tours with the Israel Philharmonic opportunities for presenting the essential qualities of Israel and the Jewish people to international audiences.
Zubin Mehta is a highly sought-after guest conductor with major orchestras and opera companies worldwide. During the current season, his engagements include performances with the Vienna Philharmonic in Vienna and several European cities and with the Montreal Symphony. He leads Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro at the Lyric Opera of Chicago and conducts produc?tions at the Vienna State Opera and the Teatro Communale of Florence at the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, where he has been Music Adviser and Chief Conductor for eleven years. In September 1998 he leads the Florence Opera in a production of Puccini's Turandot in Beijing. Also this sea?son, Mr. Mehta conducts at the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, where he will assume the post of General Music Director
at the beginning of the 1998-1999 season.
Mr. Mehta celebrated his sixtieth birth?day in April 1996, a milestone that coincided with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra's sixtieth anniversary year. A joint concert with the Los Angeles Philharmonic was held on Mr. Mehta's sixtieth birthday to cap the Israel Philharmonic's spring 1996 tour of the United States. Highlights of Mr. Mehta's guest conducting appearances last season included three complete "Ring" cycles at the Lyric Opera of Chicago, two-week tours of Japan with both the Florence Opera and the Vienna Philharmonic, and operatic perfor?mances at the Maggio Musicale and the Vienna State Opera.
In June 1994 in Sarajevo, in the bombed out shell of the National Library, Mr. Mehta conducted a dramatic performance of the Mozart Requiem to honor the memory of the thousands killed in the Bosnian conflict, and to raise funds for refugee relief. This concert, in which internationally acclaimed soloists joined members of the Sarajevo Orchestra and Chorus, was televised live and eventually broadcast in twenty-six countries.
Born in Bombay, India, Zubin Mehta, a member of the Parsi community, inherited his obsession for music from his father, Mehli Mehta, a violinist who founded the Bombay Symphony and is now music direc?tor of the American Youth Orchestra in Los Angeles. Zubin Mehta became an assistant of his father's ensemble at the age of fifteen, memorizing scores and dreaming of a con?ducting career, but he was sent to the uni?versity as a pre-medical student. He soon abandoned these studies, however, in favor of a life in music and entered Vienna's pres?tigious Academy of Music at the age of eighteen. By the time he was twenty-five, he had led both the Berlin and Vienna Philhar?monic Orchestras. He has conducted both of these ensembles every season since then. Mr. Mehta served as Music Director of the
Zubin Mehta
Montreal Symphony (1961-1967) and of the Los Angeles Philharmonic (1962-1978).
Zubin Mehta held the post of Music Director of the New York Philharmonic from 1978 to 1991, the longest tenure in that orchestra's modern history. Highlights of his thirteen seasons and more than 1,000 concerts with the orchestra included major international tours to Latin America, Europe, and Asia; a 1988 trip to the former Soviet Union that culminated in a joint concert with the State Symphony Orchestra of the Soviet Ministry of Culture in Moscow's Gorky Park; the establishment of regular concerts by the New York Philharmonic Chamber Ensembles; the expansion of the orchestra's activities in the New York com?munity; and three concerts in May 1991 celebrating the 100th anniversary of Carnegie Hall.
Since leaving the New York Philharmonic, Mr. Mehta has placed greater emphasis on conducting opera. His July 1992 performance of Tosca on location in Rome with Placido Domingo was telecast live in fourty-five countries, and a second production of this opera, with Luciano Pavarotti, opened the season of the Royal Opera, Covent Garden, a few months later.
The recipient of many prestigious hon?ors, Zubin Mehta was named the 1995-96 Wolf Foundation Laureate in Music by
Israeli President Ezer Weizman in March 1996. Cited for his "humanitarian contribu?tions to bringing people together through the universal language of music and his constant encouragement of young artists," he shared the Wolf Prize with composer Gyorgy Ligeti. Among Zubin Mehta's other awards are the Nikisch Ring, bequeathed to him by Karl Bohm; the Vienna Philharmonic Ring of Honor, commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of his debut with that orchestra; and the Hans van Biilow medal, bestowed on him by the Berlin Philharmonic. He is also the recipient of India's prestigious "Order of the Lotus" and honorary doctor?ates from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv University and the Weizmann Institute. In addition he has received the Defender of Jerusalem Award, is an Honorary Citizen of the City of Tel Aviv, and is the only non-Israeli ever to receive the Israel Prize.
This performance marks Zubin Mehta's eighth appearance under UMS auspices.
The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, which celebrated its sixtieth anniversary during 1996, is one of Israel's oldest and most influential cultural institutions. Its history is inextricably bound up with that of the nation itself: on May 14, 1948, the Orchestra performed the Israeli national anthem, Hatikvah, at the official ceremony that declared Israel a sovereign and inde?pendent State. Today, as Israel marks its fiftieth anniversary, the Orchestra continues to play a central role in the country's collec?tive life. Music Director Zubin Mehta, who has held this post for three decades, has remarked: "These musicians play for audi?ences that can't do without them."
The founding of the Israel Philharmonic, originally called the Palestine Orchestra, by
famed Polish violinist and humanist Bronislaw Huberman in 1936 predated the founding of the State of Israel itself by twelve years. Its establishment affirmed the importance of music in a land that still faced years of danger and uncertainty before emerging as an independent nation. The ensemble's first concert took place on December 26, 1936, and was conducted by the legendary Arturo Toscanini, himself an impassioned spokesman for freedom. He led "an orchestra of soloists" -first-chair musicians from German and Eastern European orchestras who had lost their positions due to Nazism and were recruited by Huberman to join the new ensemble. The Orchestra's early tours of Arab lands -to Egypt (within only a few weeks of its founding) and to Lebanon -reflected the founders' hopes that the new ensemble would serve as an ambassador of good will.
From its earliest days, the Israel Philharmonic has continued to maintain its prominent position in the cultural life of the nation and to perform without inter?ruption, not only during times of national celebration but even, or perhaps especially, in periods of national crisis. In 1948, during the War of Independence, a rising young conductor, Leonard Bernstein, led the Orchestra in a concert on the sand dunes of Beersheba in the Negev Desert for an audi?ence of 5,000 soldiers. The Orchestra also traveled in armored cars to the besieged city of Jerusalem to give performances that raised the morale of both civilians and mili?tary personnel alike. In 1967, during the Six Day War, Mr. Mehta left a Metropolitan Opera tour to conduct the Orchestra in Israel, and at the conclusion of the conflict Leonard Bernstein conducted a memorable performance of Mahler's "Resurrection" Symphony on Mount Scopus in Jerusalem. During the 1973 Yom Kippur War, the Orchestra presented a concert every night. Almost two decades later, when Israel was
hit by Scud missiles during the Gulf War, Mr. Mehta again canceled appearances with orchestras abroad to come to Israel and lead the Israel Philharmonic in more than twen?ty concerts.
The Orchestra gives more than 150 per?formances each year in Israel, both in the major urban centers and in rural areas of the country, and honors its traditional prac?tice of giving free concerts for the armed forces. The ensemble will play a prominent role in the celebrations marking the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel in April and May 1998. Among the concerts to be conducted by Mr. Mehta are a memorial program for Yitzhak Rabin; Independence Day performances in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv with soloists Itzhak Perlman, Pinchas Zukerman, Yefim Bronfman and Cecilia Bartoli; and a perfor?mance of Noam Sheriff's Revival of the Dead at Yad Vashem, the memorial to the victims of the Holocaust.
Fulfilling its original mission, the Israel Philharmonic serves as an important ambassador for Israel and tours extensively. Since its first performances in the United States in 1951, the Orchestra has visited this country many times. It has performed in many European countries as well, appearing at such prestigious music festivals as those of Salzburg, Berlin and Lucerne. This sea?son, in addition to performing in the Far East, the Orchestra makes two European tours led by Zubin Mehta and Chief Guest Conductor Antonio Pappano.
The Israel Philharmonic has also per?formed many moving concerts outside of Israel in the spirit of reconciliation. These include a 1991 concert before the Spanish royal family in Toledo to mark the 500th anniversary of the Expulsion of the Jews from Spain; a tour of Poland; and, in 1971, the Orchestra's first concert in Germany, which Mr. Mehta has described as his most memorable concert.
Zubin Mehta was appointed Music Director of the Israel Philharmonic in 1969, and his appointment was extended for life in 1981. The late Leonard Bernstein, who maintained close ties with the IPO from the time of his debut in 1947, and whose musi?cal influence is still felt today, was named Laureate Conductor in 1988. Kurt Masur was appointed Honorary Guest Conductor in 1992, and this season leads the Orchestra in Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 in both Israel and New York. Throughout its distin?guished history the Orchestra has collabo?rated with many of this century's greatest conductors and soloists.
The Israel Philharmonic continues to uphold its historical commitment to absorbing new immigrants to Israel from all over the world. While more than half of the Orchestra's current members are native-born Israelis, its ranks include many musi?cians who have emigrated from the United States and Eastern Europe, including over twenty-five new arrivals from the former Soviet Union who have joined the ensemble in recent years.
America has played a vital role in creat?ing, as well as sustaining, the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, recognizing the importance of the Orchestra's role in Israel and throughout the world. American Friends of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra is a national organization com?mitted to supporting the Orchestra through an endowment that enables the IPO to maintain its high musical standards, to undertake foreign tours, and to enhance its educational programs. The organization was established in 1980 through the joint vision of Fredric Mann and Zubin Mehta. Mr. Mehta serves as Co-Chairman of the American Friends with Itzhak Perlman.
This performance marks the Israel Philharmonic's sixth appearance under UMS auspices.

"The Ramirez family is extremely pleased to provide Christopher Parkening with the 1967 Ramirez guitar from the Jose Ramirez Collection in Madrid, Spain. This instrument was played by Maestro Segovia in the Teatro Real de Madrid when he received the Medalla al Merito del Trabajo. It will be used by Mr. Parkening for this 1997-1998 Segovia Celebration Tour."-Jose Ramirez IV

A Celebration of Andres Segovia
Prelude Gavotte
Johann Sebastian Bach
Born on March 21,1685 in Eisenach, Germany
Died on July 20, 1750 in Leipzig, Germany
Segovia transcribed this Prelude for the guitar from the original version, which was written for the lute, transposing it from the key of c minor to d minor. The guitar is not a descendant of the lute but rather a close cousin. Bach knew several lutenists of the day, S.L. Weiss and lohann Kropffgans among them, and wrote numerous works for the lute, many of which were transcribed and arranged for the first time by Segovia. The "Gavotte" was taken from the Cello Suite No. 6. The similar ranges and tuning of the baroque cello and guitar coupled with this exquisite transcription by Segovia make it sound as though it could have been originally written for the guitar.
Galliard
Allemande
John Dowland
Born in 1563, probably in London
Died on February 20, 1626 in London
These two dances by Dowland are rather characteristic of the famous, late-Elizabethan lutenist who spent much of his life abroad. The stately Galliard and the Allemande, enti?tled My Lady Hunssdon's Puffe, are written out improvisations, quite elaborate, containing divisions (sometimes called diminutions, dobles or doubles) and while they are too complex for dancing, the composer has maintained the rhythmic pattern of the original dance. Many of the dance forms from this period and later were used as models to demonstrate the musician's abilities in the art of playing in the galant style.
Espanoletas
Passacalle de la cavalleria de Napoles
Canarios
Gaspar Sanz Born in 1640 Died in 1710
Gaspar Sanz was both an outstanding Spanish guitar virtuoso and composer of the late seventeenth-century. These three pieces are from Sanz' Suite espaiwla. In the "Passacalle de la cavalleria de Napoles" you can hear the arrival of the riders on horse?back. "Canarios" is one of the most famous themes in guitar literature, used by the renowned twentieth-century composer Joaquin Rodrigo as the final movement of his popular guitar concerto, Fantasia para un gentilhombre dedicated to Segovia.
Prelude
Sylvius Leopold Weiss
Born on October 12, 1686 in Breslau, Germany
Died on October 16,1750 in Dresden, Germany
As a young boy, Parkening's favorite recorded guitar piece was Segovia's version of the Weiss Prelude. He first heard this work live at the young age of 11, along with the Gigue, in a Segovia concert at the Wiltshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles, April 13, 1959. (This was the first meeting between the Maestro and his soon-to-be protege). Though passed off for several decades as part of a "lost" suite by lutenist Sylvius Weiss, Segovia relat?ed to Parkening that the piece was actually authored by twentieth-century composer Manuel Ponce. The decision to attribute the work to Weiss was made by Segovia and Ponce at a party in 1926, as a "musical escape," and later "to confuse a music critic." Authorship aside, this piece remains techni?cally demanding and musically exciting.
Etude
Variations on a Theme of Mozart
Fernando Sor
Born on February 13,1778 in Barcelona, Spain
Died on July 10, 1839 in Paris
Born in Barcelona, Spain, and known as "The Beethoven of the Guitar," Fernando Sor composed numerous studies and technically demanding works for the instrument. He also enjoyed renown as a virtuoso, performing throughout Europe and Russia. The Etude, No.3 (Op.6 No.2) is taken from a collection of twenty compiled by Segovia, who claimed them to be "the most effective and beautiful studies written by Fernando Sor for the gui?tar." For the Variations..., Sor borrows a graceful theme from Mozart's opera Die Zauberflote (The Magic Flute) and develops variations that grow into a dazzling display of guitar pyrotechnics that challenges even the most accomplished virtuoso. On January 8,1928, at the old Town Hall in New York, the public heard the Variations... performed for the first time in Segovia's pre?miere performance in the United States.
Suite in Modo Polonico (a Andres Segovia)
Alexandre Tansman
Born on June 12, 1897 in Lodz, Poland
Died on November 15, 1986 in Paris
"I have been fascinated by Andres Segovia's musical personality since the first contact I had with his art," wrote Tansman on intro?ducing the Suite in 1962, "and I am proud to have been among the first young (at that time) composers to have composed a work for him." He continues "This Suite was inspired by the ancient court dances of Poland. Some of them have counterparts elsewhere in Europe; others are typically Polish." Each movement from the opening "Entree" (a "branle," which is an ancient French dance) to the rhythmic "Polonaise"
into the lively "Polacca" and the "Oberek" to the beautiful lullaby "Kolysanka" there is a variety of charm which the composer has captured, reflecting the culture of the Polish people.
Prelude (Homage to Bach)
Heitor Villa-Lobos
Born on March 5, 1887 in Rio de Janeiro
Died on November 17, 1959 in Rio de Janeiro
The restlessly energetic Brazilian composer and guitarist Heitor Villa-Lobos met Andres Segovia in Paris in 1924 and they became lifelong friends. Maestro Segovia encouraged him to continue writing of the guitar. Villa-Lobos wrote Cinq Preludes (dedicated to his wife) in 1940 as part of his prolific output resulting from Segovia's encouragement.
Fandanguillo
Federico Moreno Torroba Bom in 1891 Died in 1982
Renowned Spanish composer Federico Moreno Torroba remained a lifelong friend of Maestro Segovia. Although he did not play the guitar himself, he composed numerous pieces for the instrument at the request of Segovia, greatly enriching the gui?tar's repertory. The "Fandanguillo" com?posed in 1921, is the first movement from his Suite castellana.
Capricho Arabe (serenataj
Francisco Tarrega
Born on November 21, 1852 in Villarreal,
Castellon, Spain Died on December 15,1909 in Barcelona, Spain
Although Tarrega, a painfully shy man with a handicap, only shared his artistry with a small circle of friends, his contributions have reached out to the whole world. His Capricho is a fancy dedicated to the Arabic
culture of Spain and reflects the impression?istic epoch of great Spanish composers such as Albeniz. The interpretation of this pro?grammatic piece, with a Moorish flavor, was first established by Andres Segovia in 1914. More than seventy years later, this same work appeared on Segovia's final tour program, in the US, in 1987. The last concert of this tour, April 4th, occurred at the Dade County Auditorium in Miami, Florida, and the audience in attendance was privileged to hear his ultimate rendition of this serenely beautiful work by Tarrega.
Leyenda
Isaac Albeniz
Born on May 29, 1860 in Camprodon, Spain Died on May 18, 1909 in Cambo-les-Bains, France
This brilliant transcription of Asturias, leyenda from Suite Espanola, Op.47 No.5 by Segovia was originally written by Albeniz for piano. Within the richly appealing impressionistic colors and fire, the legends of Spain come to life and one can almost see the interplay between the dance and the cante hondo (deep song). Segovia ended his Los Angeles debut concert with this piece, March 9, 1937. He stated, this work is "one of my favorites."
Program notes by John Nelson and Ron Purcell
Christopher Parkening is celebrated as one of the world's preeminent virtuosos of the classical guitar. For more than a quarter century, his concerts and recordings have received the highest worldwide acclaim. The Washington Post cited "his stature as the leading guitar virtuoso of our day, com?bining profound musical insight with com?plete technical mastery of his instrument." Parkening is recognized as an heir to the legacy of the great Spanish artist Andres Segovia, who proclaimed that "Christopher Parkening is a great artist -he is one of the most brilliant guitarists in the world."
Parkening's rare combination of dramatic virtuosity and eloquent musicianship has captivated audiences around the world from New York to Tokyo. He has performed at the White House, appeared with Placido Domingo on Live from Lincoln Center, participated in Carnegie Hall's 100th Anniversary celebration and performed twice on the internationally televised GrammyO Awards. Parkening has appeared on many nationally broadcast tele?vision programs, including The Tonight Show, Good Morning America, CBS Sunday Morning, The Today Show, 2020, and was a guest artist on The Disney Channel. He was recently invited by Kathie Lee Gifford to perform on her CBS holiday special Just in Time for Christmas. Voted "Best Classical Guitarist" in a nationwide readers' poll of Guitar Player Magazine for many years run?ning, he was placed in their Gallery of Greats along with Andres Segovia, John Williams and Julian Bream.
Parkening has been a frequent guest soloist with the finest orchestras in the United States, including the Philadelphia, Cleveland and Minnesota orchestras, the Chicago, Pittsburgh, and National symphony orchestras, Detroit, Houston and St. Louis symphonies, the St. Paul and Los Angeles
Christopher Parkening
chamber orchestras, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl. His extensive recital schedule takes him through?out the country, with regular appearances in New York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Houston and Los Angeles. Following a recent performance The Los Angeles Times noted "Parkening is considered America's reigning classical guitarist, carry?ing the torch of his mentor, the late Andres Segovia."
Parkening has amassed an extensive discography on Angel Records and EMI Classics. He is the recipient of two GrammyO nominations in the category of Best Classical Recording for Parkening and the Guitar, and The Pleasures of Their Company, a collabora?tion with soprano Kathleen Battle.
In honor of Parkening's twenty-fifth year as a recording artist with EMI, a two-CD collection of favorites, The Great Recordings, was issued in celebration of his prolific artistry. Another Parkening disc, A Tribute to Segovia, was dedicated to the great Spanish guitarist and was recorded on one of the Maestro's own concert guitars. As his thirtieth anniversary approaches, Mr. Parkening recently signed a new multi-record contract with EMI Classics.
Parkening's commitment to music extends beyond his demanding performance schedule. Each summer, he teaches a series of master classes at Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana. He has also authored The Christopher Parkening Guitar Method, Volumes I and II, basic pedagogy books for beginning and advanced players.
Parkening has received commendations honoring his dedication and artistry, includ?ing an Honorary Doctorate of Music from Montana State University and the Outstanding Alumnus Award from the University of Southern California "in recognition of his outstanding international achievement and in tribute to his stature throughout the world as America's preeminent virtuoso of the classical guitar." In addition, Parkening was given the acclaimed American Academy of Achievement Award for his excellence in his field of music both nationally and inter?nationally.
Christopher Parkening resides in Southern California. At the heart of his dedication to performance, recording, and teaching is a deep commitment to the Christian faith. He is also a world class fly-fishing and casting champion who has won the International Gold Cup Tarpon Tournament (the Wimble?don of fly-fishing) held in Islamorada, Florida.
This performance marks Christopher Parkening's seventh appearance under VMS auspices.
Andres Segovia performed nine times under VMS auspices from 1960-1986.

The Lamentations of Jeremiah the Prophet
Alberto Ginastera
Born on April 11, 1916 in Buenos Aires
Died on June 25, 1983 in Geneva
The Lamentations of Jeremiah the Prophet was written by the then thirty-year old Alberto Ginastera during a visit to the United States in 1946. A native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, his early music often explored the relationship between native Argentine styles, and European traditions. The Lamentations of Jeremiah the Prophet consists of five poems from the Old Testament. The poems relate the story of how Nebuzaradan, a captain of the guard from Babylon, captured Jerusalem and

burned it to the ground in 587 BC. Details are related in the Book of Kings; The Lamentations supply the human impact and personal meaning of the historical facts, expressing the horror, resilience and hope of the survivors. The Lamentations of Jeremiah have been frequently set to music by such composers as Cristobal de Morales, Pierluigi da Palestrina and Thomas Tallis. Franz Joseph Haydn wrote a Lamentation Symphony (No. 26) in which the second movement uses a "Lamentations" plain chant cantus firmus. In our century, Lamentations have been set to music by Leonard Bernstein, Ernst Krenek and Igor Stravinsky. Unlike most settings, Ginastera's skips between verses to focus on emotional contrasts not possible otherwise.
1:12 All you who pass this way look and see: is any sorrow like the sorrow that inflicts me with which our Lord
has struck me on the day of His burning anger
1:20 Look, o Lord. How great my anguish
My heart turns in me.
I have always been a rebel
and now outside,
the sword has robbed me of my children,
and inside there is death.
1:16 And that is why I weep;
my eyes disolve in tears,
since the comforter
who could revive me

the enemy has proven too strong.

Mass in G Major, Hob. XXII:6 ("Sancti Nicolai")
Franz Josef Haydn
Born March 31, 1732 in Rohrau, Lower Austria
Died May 31, 1809 in Vienna
The Saint Nicholas Mass is one of Haydn's better kept secrets. This unassuming jewel is often overlooked for his more outgoing, flamboyant Masses. Nevertheless, it glides with unusually pastoral and gentle qualities and attracts with sudden bursts of sound
3:11 am the man familiar with misery under the rod of his anger.
3:2 I am the one he has driven and forced to walk in darkness and without any light.
3:4 He has wasted my flesh
and skin away, He has broken my bones.
3:6 He has forced me to dwell in darkness with the dead of long ago.
3:8 And when I call and shout he shouts out my prayer.
3:18 And I said, my strength is gone
and hope is gone which came from the Lord.
5:1 Remember, O Lord,
what is come upon us;
consider and behold our reproach.
5:21 Turn Thou us unto Thee, O Lord, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
5:19 Thou O Lord,
remainest forever; Thy throne from generation to generation.
and sparkling text. Written at the age of forty, the Saint Nicholas Mass was the sixth of his fourteen complete masses. Evidence suggests that it was written quickly--so quickly that the text was not written out in the final sec?tion (the Dona nobis pacem) but instead left to his singers to improvise under the same music as the Kyrie.
Identical music at the opening and clos?ing creates a frame around which the rest of the mass is built. Each movement within this frame is built around a soloist or group
of soloists. The center of both the Gloria and Credo features soloists. The Sanctus, which is entirely choral, prepares the Benedictus, devoted exclusively to the soloists.
A particularly magical moment happens in the Credo: the place in a mass for state?ments of beliefs. Each voice part sings a different line of text simultaneously, like multiple conversations. These tangled musical textures then focus suddenly on one text, becoming understandable. Was this technique used as a practical compositional solution to a long text in the Missa brevis tradition, or a philosophical statement
It has been two hundred twenty six years since the Saint Nicholas Mass was performed for the first time -too long to keep an elegant secret.
Program note by Dr. Jeffrey Johnson
Spirituals
The Black Spiritual, referred to as the Negro Spiritual before the 1950s, constitutes one of the largest single bodies of American folk songs. The former slave and Black leader Frederick Douglass (c. 1817-1895) wrote of singing spirituals when a slave: "A keen observer might have detected in our repeated singing of'O Canaan, I am bound for the Land of Canaan' something more than a hope of reaching heaven." The spiritual has always served as more than a sense of hope but also as a way to defy injustice.
Jazz Greats
"Jazz Greats" is a choreographed representa?tion of the stylistic diversity within the jazz genre. The set includes Duke Ellington's ele?gant and sophisticated Take the "A" Train and It Don't Mean a Thing and ends with a tribute to one of the greatest song stylists, Billie Holiday, with God Bless the Child.
Pride and Hope
The Boys Choir of Harlem represents more than just music-making. The songs Back to You, Up in Harlem (Unencumbered) reflect the diversity in Harlem. This section of tonight's program represents the spirit of The Boys Choir of Harlem.
Praise
The Gospel genre is one that is an extension of the Spiritual tradition in the Black com?munity. Forerunners, Hymnody, Spirituals and Jazz, all come together in Praise and celebration. The John Newton Amazing Grace, recognized all over the world, flows naturally into Crouch's Glorify the Lord and the Contemporary Gospel Available to You, with a final shout: Going Up Yonder by Hawkins.
Program note by Dr. Walter Tumbull
Dr. Walter J. Tumbull has celebrated more than twenty-nine years as the leader of the internationally acclaimed Boys Choir of Harlem. An artist, educator, and master teacher, Dr. Turnbull has created a highly effective system for educat?ing inner city children and motivating them to become disciplined, confident, and suc?cessful adults. He is a frequent lecturer on education in the arts, and a sought-after master teacher.
A native of Greenville, Mississippi, he is an honors graduate of Tougaloo College where his academic achievements and notable contributions earned him recogni?tion in Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities.
Dr. Turnbull received his Masters in Music and Doctor of Musical Arts degrees from the Manhattan School of Music, and graduated from the Columbia University
School of Business Institute for Non-Profit Management. He has received honorary degrees from Queens College, Tougaloo College, California College, and Muhlenberg College. His alma mater has recently named a scholarship in his honor for Boys Choir of Harlem alumni.
Dr. Turnbull has appeared as a tenor soloist with both the New York Philharmonic and the Philadelphia Orchestra. He made his operatic debut with the Houston Grand Opera in Scott Joplin's Treemonisha. Other operatic roles include Alfredo in La Traviata and Tamino in Die Zauberflote, both with the Lake George Opera.
He has performed in Carmen and Turandot with Opera South and created the role of Antonio in the world premiere of Roger Ames' opera Amistad. He has also sung with the Godovsky Opera Theatre and Young Audiences, Inc. Other credits include Carmina Burana with Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre and Joplin's Treemonisha on Broadway. Dr. Turnbull also gives annual recitals at Merkin Hall in New York City.
He is a recipient of the William M. Sullivan Award, the Eleanor Roosevelt Community Service Award, the Edwin Berry National Business and Professional Award, and National Association of Negro Musician's prize. He has received the President's Volunteer Action Award on behalf of The Boys Choir of Harlem from Ronald Reagan at the White House and the Intrepid Salute Award. He has been honored by the State of New York and State of Mississippi and has received several distinguished alumnus' awards. Most recently, Dr. Turnbull accepted the National Medal of the Arts from President Clinton for The Boys Choir of Harlem.
Dr. Turnbull has received national and international media recognition. He has been profiled on Nightline, 2020, The Today Show, 60 Minutes, Good Morning, America, CBS Sunday Morning, and CBS This Morning. He has also appeared on Amazing Grace with
Bill Moyers, Great Performances: Ellington and his Music, The Rosie O'Donnell Show, and The Phil Donahue Show.
The Boys Choir of Harlem was founded in 1968 as the Ephesus Church Boys Choir by Dr. Walter J. Turnbull, a nationally known edu?cator, conductor, and tenor, as an alternative to the despair he found in the streets and schools of Harlem. Incorporated in 1975 as a non?profit, tax exempt organization, The Boys Choir of Harlem has grown from a small, community choir to a major performing arts institution of international renown. The Boys Choir of Harlem's growth -from a small group of church choristers to a signifi?cant institution serving over 500 boys and girls -has been an evolutionary process. Starting in the 1970's, The choir moved from being a performing ensemble for church services to one presenting concerts and recitals in public venues. The choir "sys?tem" was inaugurated; community outreach was instituted; open auditions in local Harlem elementary schools began; as did academic tutoring and counseling, servicing members and their families. In 1979, the Girls Choir was established, as was the Touring Choir. That year, The Boys Choir of Harlem went on its first European Tour to France, Belgium, and The Netherlands, an event which was captured in an Emmy Award winning documentary, From Harlem to Haarlem: The Story of a Choirboy.
In the 1980s, The Boys Choir of Harlem began to develop as an institution. The Choir established a formal after-school music education and tutoring program and enhanced counseling and community out?reach activities. The Summer Music Institute was created as an intensive annual retreat and renewal program for individuals
and for The Boys Choir of Harlem as a whole. The Choir Academy, an on-site satel?lite school, serving the middle grades, was developed to meet the need for high quality schooling for members.
The 1990's represent continuing pro?gram expansion and refinement. The Choir Academy, originally serving only boys in grades 4-8, has progressively added an addi?tional grade each year. And, in 1993, in a unique partnership with the NYC Board of Education Division of Alternative High Schools and Community School District 5, The Boys Choir of Harlem opened The Choir Academy of Harlem -a co-educa?tional, college preparatory school running from grades 4-12 in its own facility. The partnership offers The Boys Choir of Harlem a building -the former PS 201 -classrooms, an auditorium, academic teaching staff, plus custodial, security and some administrative assistance. In 1996 and 1997, The Boys Choir of Harlem graduated fourty students, all of which were accepted to colleges.
To meet the needs of older students at greatest risk of dropping out, The Boys Choir of Harlem is expanding educational resources and college preparatory programs, developing a Multi-Media Library and Learning Center and additional computer and language learning labs. In addition, The Choir is planning a Teacher Training Institute and national replication project, and will continue a multi-year program of organiza?tional renewal, strategic planning, and long range financial development.

We rely on volunteers for a vast array of activities, including staffing the education res?idency activities, helping at the UMS hospital?ity table before concerts and at intermissions, assisting in artists services and mailings, escorting students for our popular youth per?formances and a host of other projects. Call 734.936.6837 for more information.
Internships
Internships with the University Musical Society provide experience in performing arts admin?istration, marketing, publicity, promotion, production and arts education. Semester-and year-long internships are available in many of the University Musical Society's departments.

If you are a college student who receives work-study financial aid and who is interested in working for the University Musical Society, please call 734.764.2538.
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, leave a message for head usher Kathi Reister at 734.913.9696.
