From the President
Thanks very much for attending this UMS performance and for supporting the performing arts in our community. I'm excited about the performances we're able to bring you this season and hope that you'll join us for others. A complete listing of the winter season begins on page 22. UMS has been presenting performances
in Ann Arbor for 120 years. During this time UMS has achieved a reputation for distinction in present?ing the performing arts. The process of engaging world-class artists to perform in our community requires special knowledge, intuition, and skills. UMS is fortunate to have as our Director of Programming one of the best in presenting field, Michael Kondziolka.
Michael joined the UMS staff ten years ago after interning for one year. It soon became apparent to all of us at UMS that Michael's combination of artistic knowledge and passion on the one hand and outstanding administrative and negotiating skills on the other would make him an ideal person to manage our efforts to expand, diversify, and strengthen our artistic offerings. Under Michael, UMS has added series featuring jazz, vocal recitals, world music, guitar, early music and vocal chamber music, dance, contemporary arts, and the artistic expressions of specific cultures. Michael's great
respect for both artists and audi?ences has led us to find many new per?formance venues particularly appro?priate for the specific art form being pre-
sented. Artists like coming to Ann Arbor. They like our audiences, concert halls, and tradition. But they also like being on a roster with the leading artists of our time, and that's what Michael assures will happen year after year. Thank you, Michael, for your extraordinary contribution to UMS and to our community.
I'd like to know your thoughts about this perfor?mance. I'd also like to learn anything we can do at UMS to make your concertgoing experience the best possible. If we don't see each other in the lobby, please call my office at Burton Tower on the campus (734-647-1174) or send me an e-mail message at kenfisch@umich.edu.
Sincerely,
Kenneth C. Fischer, President
From the UMS Chair
It is with great pride that we acknowledge and extend our gratitude to the major business contributors to our 1998-99 season listed on the following pages. We are proud to have been chosen by them, for their investment in the University Musical Society is clear evidence not only of their wish to accomplish good things for our community and region, but also to be associated with excellence. It is a measure of their belief in UMS that many of these companies have had a long history of association with us and have expanded and diversified their support in very meaningful ways.
Increasingly, our annual fundraising require?ments are met by the private sector: very special individuals, organizations and companies that so
generously help bring the magic to UMS perfor?mances and educational programs throughout southeastern Michigan. We know that all of our supporters must make difficult choices from among the many worthwhile causes that deserve their support. We at the University Musical Society are grateful for the opportunities that these gifts make possible, enhancing the quality of life in our area.
Sincerely,

UMS Choral Union
Thomas Sheets, conductor
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 120 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 millennium. Every day UMS seeks to cultivate, nurture and stimu?late public interest and participation in every facet of the live arts.
UMS grew from a group of local university and townspeople who gathered together for the study of Handel's Messiah. Led by Professor Henry Frieze and conducted by Professor Calvin Cady, the group assumed the name The Choral Union.
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. UMS now hosts over 80 performances and more than 150 educational events each season.
While proudly affiliated with the University of Michigan, housed on the Ann Arbor campus, and a regular collaborator with many University units, UMS is a separate not-for-profit organiza?tion, which supports itself from ticket sales, cor?porate and individual contributions, foundation and government grants, and endowment income.
Throughout its 120-year history, the UMS 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 per?formances of Handel's Messiah each December. Four years ago, the Choral Union further enriched that tradition when it began appearing regularly with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Among other works, the chorus has joined the DSO in Orchestra Hall and at Meadowbrook for sub?scription performances of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, Orff's Carmina Burana, Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe, and Prokofiev's Aleksandr Nevsky, and has recorded Tchaikovsky's The Snow Maiden with the orchestra for Chandos, Ltd.
In 1995, the Choral Union began an artistic association with the Toledo Symphony, inaugu?rating the partnership with a performance of Britten's War Requiem, and continuing with performances of Berlioz' Requiem, Elgar's The Dream ofGerontius and Verdi's Requiem. During the 1996-97 season, the Choral Union again expanded its scope to include performances with the Grand Rapids Symphony, joining with them in a rare presentation of Mahler's Symphony No. 8 (Symphony of a Thousand).
This season, the UMS Choral Union will perform in three major subscription series at Orchestra Hall with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and Neeme Jarvi, including perfor?mances of Brahms' A German Requiem, Kodaly's Psalmus Hungaricus, and Rachmaninoff's mon?umental The Bells. Other programs include Handel's Messiah and Mozart's Requiem with the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra, and Carmina Burana 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.
For more information about the UMS Choral Union, please call 734.763.8997.
Auditoria
Hill Auditorium
Standing tall and proud in the heart of the University of Michigan campus, Hill Aud?itorium is associated with the best performing artists the world has to offer. Inaugurated at the 20th Annual Ann Arbor May Festival in 1913, the 4,163-seat Hill Auditorium has served as a showplace for a variety of important debuts and long relationships throughout the past 84 years.
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 additional $150,000, and the concert hall opened in 1913 with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra perform?ing Beethoven's Symphony No. 5.
Hill Auditorium is slated for renovation in the coming years. 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 improve?ments and patron conveniences.
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, and Newberry Hall, 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 the 1,129-seat Rackham Auditorium, but also to establish a $4 million endowment to further the development of graduate studies.
Even more remarkable than the size of the gift 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 grew out of a realization that the University of Michigan had no adequate proscenium-stage theatre for the performing arts. 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 interested and 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 features two hand-woven tapestries: Modern Tapestry by Roy Lichtenstein and Volutes by Pablo Picasso.
Michigan Theater
The historic 1,710-seat Michigan Theater opened January 5,1928 at the peak of the vaudeville movie palace era. 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 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 in
Auditoria, continued
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 in 1950 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 forty-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 contemplation of sacred a cap-pella 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.
Burton Memorial Tower
Seen from miles away, this well-known University of Michigan and Ann Arbor landmark is the box office and administrative 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 significantly. With a goal of deepening the understanding of the impor?tance of live performing arts as well as the major impact the arts can have in the community, UMS now seeks out active and dynamic collabora?tions and partnerships to reach into the many diverse communities it serves.
Several programs have been established to meet the goals of UMS' Education and Audience Development program, including specially designed Family and Student (K-12) performances. This year, more than 11,000 students will attend the Youth Performance Series, which includes The Harlem Nutcracker, Trinity Irish Dance Company, The Gospel at Colomis, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra with Pepe Romero, Kodo, and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.

Early Spanish Songs
Anonymous,
Arr. Arne Dorumsgaard
Que bien me lo veo
Que bien me lo veo y bien me lo si Qud a tus manos morire'. La vida consiento que vos la mateis, Y sienta que siento que lo mereceis; Que en ella vereis quien tiene mi ft.
De la vida de este mundo
De la vida de este mundo non vas tome
gran codicia; Que quien piensa vivir un ano, no vive tan
solo un dia.
Pampano verde
Pampano verde, racimo albar; Quien vido duenas a tal hora andar Encinueco entre ellas, entre las doncellas.
Triste estaba el rey David
Triste estaba el rey David, Triste y con gran pasi6n, Cuando le vinieron neuvas De la muerte de Absal6n.
How well I see that I will die at your hands! My love for you allows me to let you kill me.
Great greed is not enough
in this life. Whoever things to live a year will be lucky
to live a day.
Green vine, white cluster of grapes,
Who has seen young girls pass by at such a time
Between them a young oak stands.
David the King was sad and filled with
emotion, When they brought him the news
of Absalom's death.
Con amores, la mi madre
Con amores, la mi madre, con amores
m'adormi.
Asi dormida sonaba lo que el corazon velaba, Qu'el amor me consolaba Con mas bien que mereci.
A la caza, sus, a caza
A las caza, sus, a caza,
Ea, nuevos, amadores, todos a caza de amores!
Con un vuelo de dulzor volareis altaneria, Y cazareis al amor con tristeza y alegrfa. Ea, todos a porfia con halcones, con azores Vamos a caza de amores!
Vamos todos a esta caza, a cazar siendo
cazados, Pues que todos d'esta raza del amor somos
tocados. Pues que en todos los estados tiene el amor
cazadores, Vamos a caza de amores!
I feel asleep with love, mother.
I dreamed about my heart's care and love
consoled me far more than I deserved.
To the chase! Come, new lovers, come one and all!
With sweetness chase away arrogance,
in order to hunt love with joy and pain.
Take falcons, hawks, and stubbornness and let's hunt love!
What joy to be hunted while hunting, For all of us are touched by love. Let's go hunting.....to the chase!

Adelaide
(Friedrich von Matthisson) Franz Shubert
Einsam wandelt dein Freund im
Friihlingsgarten,
Mild vom lieblichen Zauberlicht umflossen,
Das durch wankende Bliitenzweige
zittert, Adelaide!
In der spiegelnden Flut, im Schnee
der Alpen,
In des sinkenden Tages Goldgewolke, Im Gefilde der Sterne strahlt dein Bildnis, Adelaide!
Lonely wanders thy friend in spring's
green garden,
Mildly streameth the magic light around him, As through trembling flowr'y branches
it quivers, Adelaide!
In the mirror-like stream, in Alpine
snowfields,
In the clouds' golden glow at day's declining, In the starfields of heaven gleams thine image, Adelaide!
Abendluftchen im zarten Laube flustern, Silberglockchen des Mai's im Grase sauseln Wellen rauschen und
Nachtigallen fldten, Adelaide!
Einst, O Wunder! entbluth auf meinem Grabe, Eine Blume der Asche meines Herzens, Deutlich schimmert, auf jedem
Purpurblattchen, Adelaide!
Nacht und Traume
(Matthaus von Collin) Shubert
Heilige Nacht, du sinkest nieder; Nieder wallen auch die Traume, Wie dein Mondlicht durch die Raume, Durch der Menschen stille Brust. Die belauschen sie mit Lust; Rufen, wenn der Tag erwacht: Kehre wieder, heilige Nacht! Holde Traume, kehret wieder!
Auf dem Wasser zu singen (Friedrich Leopold) Shubert
Mitten im Schimmer der spiegelnden Wellen Gleitet, wie Schwane, der wankende Kahn; Ach, auf der Freude sanftschimmemden Wellen Gleitet die Seek dahin wie der Kahn; Denn von dem Himmel herab auf die Wellen Tanzet das Abendrot rund um den Kahn.
Uber den Wipfeln des westlichen Haines Winket uns freundlich der rbtliche Schein, Unter den Zweigen des ostlichen Haines Sauselt der Kalmus im rotlichen Schein; Freude des Himmels und Ruhe des Haines Atmet die Seel im errotenden Schein.
Evening winds in the tender leaves are whisp'ring, Silver Maybells amid the cool grass rustling, Waves are murm'ring, and
nightingales keep trilling, Adelaide!
Soon, O wonder! upon my grave behold it, Springs a blossom from out my heart's
cold ashes;
Clearly shining on ev'ry purple petal: Adelaide!
Night and Dreams
Holy night, down you sink; down too float dreams, as your moonlight through space, through the silent hearts of men. To these they hearken, joyful; crying out, when day awakes: come again, holy night! Sweet dreams, come again!
To be sung upon the water
Amidst the shimmer of mirroring waves swan-like glides the wavering skiff; ah, on joy's gently shimmering waves the soul goes gliding on like the skiff; for from heaven onto the waves the evening glow dances around the skiff.
Over the tops of the westerly wood, friendly beckons the reddish gleam, beneath the branches of the easterly wood the sweet-flag murmurs in the reddish gleam; the joy of heaven, the peace of the wood the soul inhales in the reddening gleam.
Ach, es entschwindet mit tauigem Fliigel Mir auf den wiegenden Wellen die Zeit. Morgen entschwindet
mit schimmerndem Fliigel Wieder wie gestern und heute die Zeit, Bis ich auf hoherem, strahlendem Flugel Selber entschwinde der wechselnden Zeit.
Der Tod und das Madchen (Matthias Claudius) Shubert
Das Madchen:
Voriiber, ach, voriiber! Geh, wilder Knochenmann! Ich bin noch jung, geh, Lieber! Und riihre mich nicht an.
Der Tod:
Gib deine Hand, du schon
urid zart Gebild! Bin Freund und komme nicht
zu strafen.
Sei guten Muts! Ich bin nicht wild, Sollst sanft in meinen Armen schlafen.
Seligkeit
(Ludwig Holty) Shubert
Freuden sonder Zahl! Bliihn im Himmelssaal! Engeln und Verklarten, Wie die Vater lehrten. O, da mocht ich sein Und mich ewig freuen!
Jedem lachelt traut Eine Himmelsbraut; Harf und Psalter klinget, Und man tanzt und singet. O, da mocht ich sein Und mich ewig freuen!
Alas, away on dewy wings
from me on the rocking waves flees time.
Tomorrow away on
shimmering wings
as yesterday, as today, again will flee time, until I upon loftier, radiant wings myself shall flee the changing time.
Death and the Maiden
The Maiden:
Go by, oh, go by,
harsh bony Death!
I am still young. Go, my dear,
and do not touch me.
Death:
Give me your hand, you fair
and gentle thing. I am a friend and do not come
to punish.
Be of good cheer! I am not harsh, In my arms you shall sleep softly!
Bliss
Joys without number bloom in Heaven's hall for angels and transfigured, as our fathers taught. Oh, there would I be, and rejoice eternally!
Sweetly upon all smiles a heavenly bride; harp and psalter sound, and all dance and sing. Oh, there would I be, and rejoice eternally!
Lieber bleib ich hier, Lachelt Laura mir Einen Blick, der saget, Dafi ich ausgeklaget. Selig dann mit ihr, Bleib ich ewig hier!
Here I'll rather stay if Laura look my way, and give a look that says I've to lament no more. Blissful then with her, I'll stay ever here!

Cinq melodies populaires grecques
(Michel Dimitri Calvocoressi) Maurice Ravel
Chanson de la mariee
ReVeille toi, perdrix mignonne, Ouvre au matin tes ailes, Trois grains de beauts, Mon coeur en est brul?. Vois le ruban d'or que je t'apporte Pour le nouer autour de tes cheveux. Si tu veux, ma belle, viens nous marier! Dans nos deux families tous sont allies.
La-bas, vers l'6glise
La-bas, vers l'glise, Vers l'glise, Aiyo Sideio, L'dgiise, 6 Vierge Sainte, L'eglise, Aiyo Costandino Se sont rdunis, Rassembles en nombre infini Du monde, 6 Vierge Sainte, Du monde tous les plus braves!
Quel galant m'est comparable
Quel galant m'est comparable Entre ceux qu'on voit passer Dis, dame Vassiliki Vois, pendus a ma ceinture, Pistolets et sabre aigu... Et c'est toi que j'aime!
Awake little partridge,
greet the morning with open wings.
The three beauty spots
put my heart on fire.
Look at the golden ribbon which I bring you
to tie 'round your hair.
Let us get married, my love, if you will!
In our two families all are related.
Yonder, at the church,

O Blessed Virgin,
all of the bravest people!
What dandy can compare with me,
of all those passing by
Won't you tell me, Vassiliki
Look at the pistols
and the sharp sabre hanging at my belt...
and 'tis you I love!
Chanson des cueilleuses de lentisques
0 joie de mon ame, joie de mon coeur,
Tr6sor qui m'est si cher;
Toi que j'aime ardemment,
Tu est plus beau qu'un ange.
0 lorsque tu parais, ange si doux,
Devant nos yeux,
Comme un bel ange blond,
Sous le clair soleil,
He'las, tous nos pauvres coeurs soupirent!
Tout gai!
Tout gai,
Ha, tout gai,
Belle jambe, tireli, qui danse,
Belle jambe, la vaisselle danse,
Tra la-la-la-la.
O joy of my soul, joy of my heart,
treasure so precious to me;
thou, whom I love ardently,
thou, more handsome than an angel.
When thou appearest, angel so sweet,
before our eyes,
like a beautiful blonde angel
in the bright sunlight,
alas, all our poor hearts sigh!
Very merrily,
ah, very merrily!
Beautiful legs, tireli, dancing,
beautiful legs, even the dishes dance,
Tra la-la-la-la.

"Cara sposa,"
from Rinaldo
(G. Rossi)
George Frederic Handel
Cara sposa, amante cara, dove sei Deh! ritorna a pianti miei! Del vostro Erebo sull'ara, colla face del mio sdegno, io vi sfido, o spirto rei!
"Furibondo spira il vento,"
from Partenope
(adapted from Stampiglia) Handel
Furibondo spira il vento e sconvolge il cielo e il suol. Tal adesso Talma io sento agitata dal mio duol.
Beloved, O dearest love, where are you now
Ah, return to my tears!
On the altars of your Erebus,
with the torch of my disdain,
I defy ye, O evil spirits!
The winds blow furiously, and stir heaven and earth. That is how my soul feels, agitated by my sorrow.
Waterbird
(James Purdy) Richard Hundley
Waterbird, waterbird, gently afloat, Know you my yearning for places remote, Waterbird, waterbird, under the sea Keep you a kingdom for sleepers like me, Keep you a kingdom for sleepers like me.
Sweet Suffolk Owl (Anonymous) Hundley
Sweet Suffolk Owl, so trimly dight With feathers like a lady bright, Thou singest alone, sitting by night, Te whit, te whoo! Te whit, te whoo!
The note, that fort so freely rolls, With shrill command the mouse controls; And sings a dirge for dying souls, Te whit, te whoo! Te whit, te whoo!
Come Ready and See Me (Purdy) Hundley
Come ready and see me
No matter how late
Come before the years run out.
I'm waiting with a candle
No wind will blow out,
But you must haste on foot or by sky
For no one waits forever
Under the bluest sky
I can't wait forever
For the years are running out.
Seashore Girls
(e.e. cummings) Hundley
maggie and milly and molly and may went down to the beach (to play one day)
and maggie discovered a shell that sang so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles, and
millie befriended a stranded star whose rays five languid fingers were:
and molly was chased by a horrible thing which raced sideways while blowing bubbles: and
may came home with a smooth round stone as small as a world and as large as alone.
For whatever we lose (like a you or a me) it's always ourselves we find in the sea

A New Year's Carol (Anonymous)
Here we bring new water from the well
so clear, For to worship God with, this happy
New Year.
Refrain
Sing levy dew, sing levy dew, the water

Sing reign of Fair Maid, with gold upon

Man from Newington (Anonymous)
There was a man of Newington, And he was wondrous wise, He jump'd into a quickset hedge, And scratch'd out both his eyes.
But when he saw his eyes were out, With all his might and main He jump'd into another hedge, And scratch'd them in again.
Fishing Song
(Izaak Walton)
Oh, the gallant fisher's life,
It is the best of any!
"Pis full of pleasure, void of strife,
And 'tis belov'd of many;
Other joys, are but toys;
Only this lawful is,
For our skill, breeds no ill,
But content and pleasure.
In a morning up we rise, Ere Aurora's peeping, Drink a cup to wash our eyes, Leave the sluggard sleeping; Then we go to and fro, With our knacks at our backs, To such streams, as the Thames, If we have the leisure.
If the sun's excessive heat,
Makes our bodies swelter,
To an osier hedge we get
For friendly shelter;
Where in a dyke, perch or pike,
Roach or dace, we go chase
Bleak or gudgeon, without grudging;
We are still contented.
Folksongs from the British Isles
(Traditional) Arr. Britten
There's none to soothe
There's none to soothe my soul to rest, There's none my load of grief to share Or wake to joy this lonely breast, Or light the gloom of dark despair.
The voice of joy no more can cheer, The look of love no more can warm Since mute for aye's that voice so dear, And closed that eye alone could charm.
Sweet Polly Oliver
As sweet Polly Oliver lay musing in bed, A sudden strange fancy came in to her head. "Nor father nor mother shall make me
false prove, I'll 'list as a soldier, and follow my love."
So early next morning she softly arose, And dressed herself up in her dead
brother's clothes. She cut her hair close, and she stained
her face brown, And went for a soldier to fair London Town.
Then up spoke the sergeant one day
at his drill. "Now who's good for nursing A captain,
he's ill." "I'm ready," said Polly, to nurse him
she's gone, and finds its her true love all wasted
and wan.
The first week the doctor kept shaking
his head, "No nursing, young fellow, can save him,"
he said.
But when Polly Oliver had nursed him
back to life He cried, "You have cherished him as if
you were his wife."
O then Polly Oliver, she burst into tears And told the good doctor her hopes
and her fears
And very shortly after, for better or for worse, The captain took joyfully his pretty
soldier nurse.
0 Waly, Waly
(Cecil Sharp)
The water is wide I cannot get o'er, and neither have I wings to fly. Give me a boat that will carry two, and both shall row, my love and I.
O, down in the meadows the other day, A-gath'ring flowers both fine and gay, A-gath'ring flowers both red and blue,
1 little thought what love can do.
I leaned my back up against some oak Thinking that he was a trusty tree; But first he bended, and then he broke; And so did my false love to me.
A ship there is, and she sails the sea, She's loaded deep as deep can be, But not so deep as the love I'm in: I know not if I sink or swim.
O, love is handsome and love is fine, And love's a jewel while it is new, But when it is old, it groweth cold, and fades like morning dew.
Oliver Cromwell
Oliver Cromwell lay buried and dead,
Hee-haw buried and dead.
There grew an old apple tree over his head,
Hee-haw over his head.
The apples were ripe and ready to fall,
Hee-haw ready to fall.
There came an old woman to gather them all,
Hee-haw gather them all.
Oliver rose and gave her a drop,
Hee-haw gave her a drop.
Which made the old woman go hippety-hop,
Hee-haw hippety-hop.
The saddle and bridle they lie on the shelf,
Hee-haw lie on the shelf.
If you want any more, you can sing it yourself,
Hee-haw sing it yourself.

In astoundingly short order, today's soloist, David Daniels, has virtually redefined the notion of The Countertenor. Much of this is due to the expressive and virtuosic nature of his singing -new standards of range, size, and agility have been recalculated for all in this vocal category. But another portion of this re-definition has to do with Mr. Daniels' resolute refusal to be limited in his choice of repertoire. Whereas in opera those who cast him in various roles must conform to the composer's original inten?tions as much as possible, in concerts such as this afternoon's recital he insists upon presenting himself in the full range of styles available to any singer. Of the six groups on the program today, only two are what might be called "early music." Mr. Daniels consid?ers himself a singing artist first, a coun?tertenor second, and his recital programs always boldly underline this idea.
This afternoon's opening group features Spanish music of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Some are villancicos and have their origin in the songs of the people. Others are romances, adaptations of the bal?lads which Arab troubadours sang as they traveled throughout the country. In a few cases we know composers' names; in most, anonymity prevails. Presenting these gems in a twentieth-century recital format would not be possible without the assistance of arrangements and realizations designed for today's spaces and forces. Thus the arranger, Arne Dorumsgaard, deserves no less credit than does the composer. (This will be the case three times in today's concert -look for striking arrangements by Ravel and Britten later on.) Born in Norway, Dorumsgaard has made it his life's work to
collect, harmonize and arrange antique vocal music of all the European countries. Only three hundred of his two thousand titles have been published, but even this small percentage shows how well an inspired arrangement can evoke the old, fil?tered through the new. Most of these texts concern themselves with courtly, chivalrous love, the notable exception being the power?ful lament of King David on the loss of his son. The singing seems to be free of mea?sures, with melismas describing now pain, now joy. The piano imitates the vihuela, forerunner of the guitar and the lute. Both instruments seem to be improvising...when they are not dancing.
II
It is not an exaggeration to claim that Schubert invented the lied as we know it today. His more than six hundred songs form the backbone of the German vocal repertoire, and there is no composer in this genre that has not learned from him. From the singer's point of view, Schubert's inex?haustible supply of melody has never been surpassed. For the pianist, the whole notion of what an accompaniment could be was irrevocably and permanently changed. Not content to simply underline and double the voice part, Schubert created brooks, winds, spinning wheels, galloping horses, earth?quakes and trombone choirs for the piano, each enhancing and illustrating facets of the poem only hinted at by the actual text. His frequent use of traditional forms clearly earns him a classicist's label, but his ability to manipulate harmony and mode opened the door to romanticism. Schubert is not to be labelled easily or pigeonholed -he seems to break new ground with each song. Today's group of five songs clearly illustrates this endless variety of inspiration. The first
and last song are exact strophic forms -not a note or rhythm is changed throughout the three verses in each. Seligkeit describes a lusty sort of heaven, but forswears it easily for the earthly heaven of Laura. Aufdem Wasser zu singen offers insightful philosophy and shows Schubert at his watery best; one could call this a vocal barcarolle. Nacht und Trdume is a hushed rhapsodic plea on behalf of all dreamers and a test of the performers' control of breath and dynamics -it has earned its fame. Death and the Maiden offers a whole operatic scene for two charac?ters in just one page. Finally, when song affi-cionados hear the title Adelaide it is certain?ly Beethoven's multi-sectional and very operatic setting which comes to mind. (Actually, Mr. Daniels opened his last recital for UMS with this Beethoven song.) Schubert's setting is vastly different: rever?ent, lyrical, intimate, economical.
Ill
Maurice Ravel was obsessed with folk songs from many lands; indeed his arrangements of Italian, Hebrew, Yiddish, Scottish, Danish, Spanish and Greek melodies comprise a third of his vocal compositions. As we listen to our second arranger of this afternoon, we soon realize we are far from the sophisticat?ed world of Sheherazade or La Valse. These texts do not speak of moonlit tombs or veiled Indian princesses. The characters and situations in all the folksongs are elemental and familiar. These five glimpses of Greek culture show us an enthusiastic bridegroom, noble patriotism in the face of defeat, a humorous moment of machismo, field workers chanting to pass the day, and finally the joy of dancing in a typical taverna. Ravel has retained the original tunes but has
clothed them with his characteristic impres?sionistic harmonies. The resulting hybrid is rather like viewing Zorba, the Greek through a watercolor scrim.
IV
As Mr. Daniels' first solo CD will attest, the music of George Frederic Handel is central to the countertenor repertoire. Given the absence of the brightest stars in Handel's operas the castrati -audiences today are accustomed to hearing these heroic arias in either mezzo-soprano or countertenor voic?es. Although Handel was opera's most bril?liant voice throughout his lifetime, his death in 1759 ushered in a period of two centuries during which none of his works saw staged productions anywhere. It is only in the last fifty years, with the advent of singers such as Joan Sutherland, Beverly Sills and Marilyn Home, that these four dozen operas have begun to figure prominently again in sea?sonal rosters of important theatres. The level of expertise demanded by these arias clearly attests to the olympian prowess of singers in Handel's time. There is no other repertoire which requires both expression and virtuosity on this level. The aria from Partenope (1730) features a text which uses howling winds as a metaphor for the agita?tion of the character's emotions. Handel paints this with endless cascades of rapid passagework for the voice, exploiting speed range and agility to the maximum. (Each and every note is doubled in the orchestra, leaving no room for even the slightest imperfection.) By way of contrast is "Cara sposa," from Rinaldo, the only opera to be revived in Handel's lifetime (1715 and 1735). This aria is engendered by the sud?den abduction of the hero's beloved. The virtuosity involved here is an expressive one; the voice is one of five contrapuntal lines
forever weaving, forever lamenting. Handel will continue to occupy Mr. Daniels in the near future: he makes his Metropolitan Opera debut as Sesto in Giulio Cesare next month.
Richard Hundley's name is well known to all lovers of American song. The New York-based composer has penned works in other genres, but it is on song that his reputation rests. Seldom grand, Hundley seems to pre?fer texts which call for heartfelt lyricism, introspection and directness of expression. Rich, flowing, very pianistic accompani?ments support and underline very singable melodies in the voice part. Hundley general?ly selects texts from poets of our own centu?ry (Purdy, Cummings, Joyce, Millay), but will occasionally reach back to Elizabethan times as in today's amusing portrait of an English owl. Hundley has not tried to break new ground compositionally, but he has cer?tainly decorated and enhanced familiar idioms with his own voice.
VI
The last group this afternoon features Benjamin Britten both as composer and our third arranger of the day. A craftsman par excellence, Britten composed in every con?ceivable genre, but it is in texted music that his genius seems most inspired. His operas have become repertory staples in theatres around the world (Turn of the Screw occu?pied this very stage in March 1998), and he is certainly the most important British vocal composer since Henry Purcell three cen?turies earlier. It is not an easy task to make a general statement about Britten's music, for
he used many idioms and forms throughout his life. At his most conservative, he still employs dissonance, polyrhythm and poly-tonality in highly effective ways which are instantly recognizable and give even cus?tomary gestures new excitement and inter?est. Those three devices are clearly evident in all seven of these songs. The first three songs are extracted from his Friday Afternoons, Op. 7, written in the mid-1930s. This set of twelve songs was Britten's first essay in music for children's voices, and it is dedicated to his brother, a schoolmaster, and his choir. Fresh and melodically inventive, this opus sets the stage for his lifelong fasci?nation for the youthful treble sound, both in group and solo settings, for both church and the opera house. It is from Britten's five vol?umes of folksong arrangements that today's last four songs are taken. The complete col?lection includes songs from Ireland, Scotland, France, Wales as well as England. Again, as with the Ravel songs earlier, Britten's manipulation of rhythm, harmony and canonic imitation in the accompani?ment creates new sounds and implications in tunes familiar to us all.
Program notes by Martin Katz.
In the four years since his professional debut, American countertenor David Daniels has become recognized as one of the outstanding artists of our day, winning equal praise in opera, recital and concert. His superlative artistry, magnetic stage presence and a voice of sin?gular warmth and surpassing beauty have
served to redefine his voice category for the modem public. His unique achievement has earned him two of the music world's most significant awards: Musical America's "Vocalist of the Year" for 1999 and the 1997 Richard Tucker Award.
David Daniels' 1998-99 season features his Metropolitan Opera debut as Sesto in Handel's Giulio Cesare, the company's first revival of the work in over a decade. He sings his first recital at Avery Fisher Hall in April. Last January, he debuted with the Canadian Opera Company as Arsamenes in Xerxes in the acclaimed Stephen Wadsworth production. He makes his Italian debut with
the Rome Opera as Oberon in Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream conducted by Jeffrey Tate before appearing in Paris in Handel's VAllegro, II Penseroso ed il Moderato conducted by John Nelson. The latter will also be recorded by EMI. His sea?son includes recitals at the Salzburg Easter Festival, Munich's Prinzregententheater, the Ravinia Festival and the Edinburgh Festival and concludes with performances of Handel's Saul opposite Bryn Terfel and con?ducted by Sir Charles Mackerras also in Edinburgh.
The 1998-99 season marks the release of three important recordings. His exclusive solo repertoire agreement with VirginEMI is launched with a disc of Handel arias con?ducted by Sir Roger Norrington with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. Also released are Scarlatti cantatas conducted by McGegan and a complete recording of L'lncoronazione di Poppea on Farao Classics. This was recorded live at the Bavarian State Opera and is conducted by Ivor Bolton.
David Daniels has performed Nerone in L'lncoronazione di Poppea with San Francisco Opera, the Bavarian State Opera, the Glimmerglass Opera Festival, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and with Florida Grand Opera. A renowned inter?preter of Handel, he has performed Sesto in Giulio Cesare for his debut at the Royal Opera, Covent Garden; Didymus in Theodora at the Glyndebourne Festival; the title role of Tamerlano and Arsace in Partenope at Glimmerglass and Hamor in Jeptha at the Salzburg Festival. He has sung Arsamenes in Xerxes at New York City Opera and at Boston Lyric Opera. His debut at English National Opera was as Oberon in A Midsummer Night's Dream. He has given recitals at London's Wigmore Hall, Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall and in Washington, DC and Ann Arbor. He has been heard with the the San Francisco Symphony, St. Louis Symphony, the New World Symphony, with
Boston's Handel and Haydn Society and the Philharmonia Baroque, among others.
A native of Spartanburg, South Carolina, David Daniels is the son of two voice teachers. He began singing as a boy soprano, gradually emerging as a tenor. He attended Cincinnati's College Conservatory of Music and the University of Michigan where he studied with George Shirley. He began singing as a countertenor in 1992. He currently resides in Silver Spring, Maryland.
This appearance marks David Daniels' sixth appearance under UMS auspices including four appearances as countertenor soloist with the UMS Choral Union's presentation of Handel's Messiah.
Martin Katz, heretofore dubbed "dean of accompanists" by The Los Angeles Times, is the first recipient of Musical America's newly created in 1998 "Accompanist of the Year" award. He regularly collaborates in recitals and on records with artists including Marilyn Home, Frederica von Stade, Kiri Te
Kanawa,
Kathleen Battle, Cecilia Bartoli and Jose Carreras. Highlights of Mr. Katz's more than thir?ty years of con-certizing with the world's most celebrat?ed vocal soloists include innumerable recitals at
Carnegie Hall, appearances at the Salzburg Festival, tours in Australia and Japan and performances at La Scala, the Paris Opera
and the Edinburgh Festival. His concerts are frequently broadcast both nationally and internationally. His work has been recorded on the RCA, CBS, Cetra, BMG, Phillips and Decca labels. The Metropolitan, Houston and Ottawa operas have performed his edi?tions of Baroque and bel canto operas of Handel, Vivaldi and Rossini. At the University of Michigan, in addition to over?seeing the various degrees in ensemble for pianists, Mr. Katz coaches singers and teach?es courses in vocal repertoire. He is a fre?quent guest conductor of the School's opera productions.
This afternoon's recital marks Martin Katz's twenty-first appearance under UMS auspices.

Sonata for Flute and Piano, Op. 167, "Undine"
Carl Reinecke
Born June 23, 1824 in Altona, Denmark
(later Germany) Died March 10, 1910 in Leipzig
Carl Reinecke was one of the romantic com?posers who was musically active toward the end of the nineteenth century. Making his concert debut as a pianist at the age of twelve at the Danish court, Carl Reinecke would work as a pianist, conductor, com?poser, teacher and administrator primarily in Denmark and Germany. After securing additional study in Leipzig and holding musical posts in Copenhagen, Paris, Cologne, Barmen and Breslau, he succeeded Mendelssohn in 1860 as conductor of the famed Gewandhaus Orchestra in Leipzig, a post he would hold for thirty-five years before being succeeded by Nikisch. During this period, Reinecke taught piano and com?position at the Leipzig Conservatory, eventu?ally becoming the school's director until his retirement in 1902. He is said to have been excellent, both as a conductor and pianist, and is known to have championed Mozart's works in performance.
Reinecke was personal friends with composers such as Schumann, Mendelssohn, Liszt, and Brahms, and found himself being influenced by their musical styles. He is best known for his numerous piano composi?tions, but also wrote four operas, an oratorio, masses and other works for choir and orchestra, three symphonies, four piano concertos, and a large volume of chamber and vocal music.
The Sonata for Flute and Piano, Op. 167, composed in the mid-1880s, is subtitled "Undine." Reinecke carefully crafted an equal duo partnership for the flute and piano, taking as his inspiration the legend, recounted by the romantic writer Friedrich la Motte-Fouque, of the water nymph
Undine, who falls in love with a mortal and is granted a human soul. When the mortal deceives her, Undine is snatched back into the waters and returns only to kill him with a kiss. Reinecke was familiar with the Undine legend, but in no way does the Sonata tell the story in a programmatic manner. Instead, Reinecke suggests the gen?eral mood of the work: the watery ripples in the piano part and the lyrical Undine-like interlude in the "Intermezzo" which reap?pears in the "Finale."
The strength of this four-movement work showcases Reinecke's best qualities as a composer: a romantic style where the har?mony is chromatic without being excessive, melodic lines which display the potential of the solo instrument, and a well-crafted clas?sical sonata in its overall formal structure. In the first edition, Reinecke indicated that the Sonata could be played by flute, clarinet or violin, but the solo writing is most idiomatically tailored to the flute.
While Brahms was writing his fine chamber compositions for strings, Reinecke was writing exceptional chamber music for orchestral winds. His wind sextet and wind octet represent some of the best writing for that genre. His predisposition to write for the flute is further evidenced in his flute concerto (a late composition) and a set of cadenzas composed for Mozart's flute and harp concerto.
Sonata in D Major, Op. 94
Sergei Prokofiev
Born April 23, 1891 in Sontsovka, Ukraine
Died March 5, 1953 in Moscow
Sergei Prokofiev, the Russian composer and pianist, established himself as a composer of ironic, often willful and unconventional music in the last years of tsarist Russia. After the Revolution he lived in the United States (1918-22) and then in Paris (1922-36). His
compositional style during these years grad?ually became smoother and more settled. The last seventeen years of his life were spent in the USSR, both inspired and restricted by Stalin's cultural policies. Prokofiev spent eight years during World War II partly in evacuation, leaving Moscow in the summer of 1941 to avoid the worst dangers of the German invasion. He spent time in the Caucasus, in Georgia, in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, and in the Ural mountains. During this time, he worked on various pro?jects including his flute sonata.
His only work for flute, the Sonata in D Major, Op. 94 premiered in Moscow in 1943. It was composed in a traditional neo?classical format, with movements in sonata, rondo, and ternary form, respectively. The first movement is built around two great alternating themes, with the eventual addi?tion of a third theme. The second and third movements are similar in style to the Prokofiev found in the "Classical" Symphony and contain highly elaborate rhythms. The "Allegro con brio" is con?structed around a theme that is reminiscent of a Russian folk dance, which the composer has transformed and adapted for instru?mental use in the sonata form.
The instant success of the flute sonata led Prokofiev to transcribe it in 1944 for David Oistrach to play on the violin. It is a bright and playful composition that remains an important work in the flute repertoire.
La Flute de Pan, Op. 15
Jules Mouquet
Born July 10, 1867 in Paris
Died October 25,1946 in Paris
The French composer Jules Mouquet stud?ied harmony and composition at the Paris Conservatory. He eventually became profes?sor of harmony at the Conservatory starting in 1913.
During the nineteenth century there was an artistic preoccupation with nature. The flute's connections to a pastoral world appealed to composers of many nationali?ties. In Paris, ancient Greece was a favorite subject in the salons of the early 1900s, and along with many other French composers at the turn of the century, Mouquet turned to subjects from Greek mythology.
Mouquet was inspired by the mytho?logical stories of the ancient Greek god Pan, who was part man and part goat -having the horns, ears, and legs of a goat and the upper torso of a man. Pan was god of the forest and shepherds, living in the hills and mountains in Arcadia in the center of southern Greece along with mortals and nymphs. He lived the life of a herdsman and shepherd, looking after his sheep and goats. At night, he often joined the nymphs of the woods and the hills in their revels.
Pan was known as one of the wilder Greek gods who wooed many nymphs. Among them was Syrinx, who fled from his pursuits in horror to the banks of the river Ladon and turned into a reed to escape him. Unable to single her out among the reeds, Pan cut a number of them and from these made the pipes of different lengths by which he is known for to this day, the panpipes. His great skill in playing these pipes is leg?endary.
Mouquet composed La Flute de Pan originally for flute and orchestra, arranging a flute and piano version titled Sonata for Flute and Piano, Op. 15. Within the sonata's three movements, the goat-footed Pan shows his fondness for the sweet pastoral life, spending his days among the shepherds and the birds and his nights indulging in dance and other pleasures with the nymphs of the waters and woods.
Fantaisie on Themes from
Francoise de Rimini
Paul Taffanel
Born September 16, 1844 in Bordeaux
Died November 22, 1908 in Paris
Paul Taffanel, French flutist and conductor, was arguably the most important flutist of the nineteenth century. He took the Paris Conservatory's first prize in flute (1860), theory (1862), and counterpoint (1865) and joined the wind faculty in 1893 after a dis?tinguished twenty-five year performing career as an orchestral and solo flutist. He was principal flutist and later conductor at the Opera and the Societe des Concerts du Conservatoire (later Orchestra de Paris). His numerous European concert tours were influential in raising the standards for woodwind playing throughout Europe. As a flutist, Taffanel was without peer. His famous student Georges Barrere described him in this way:
Taffanel was not only the best flutist in Europe... quality as well as quantity of tone and fine technique were only a small part of his splendid characteristics as a flute player. He loathed cheap sentimentality, excessive expression, endless vibrato... the cheap tricks which are as undignified as they are unmusical.
When he took over as flute professor at the Paris Conservatory in 1893, he caused a near revolution in teaching. Retaining the traditional masterclass format, he individu?alized his instruction so that each student could work at his own level. He commis?sioned a series of new flute pieces by some of the finest French composers of the day for the annual performing examination known as the concours. Compositions by Faure, Enesco, Chaminade, Gaubert, and other fine French composers set a new stan?dard in the flute repertoire. His famous flute
method (with Philippe Gaubert) continues to be a valuable pedagogical work to this day.
As a conductor, Taffanel did much to champion the revival of works by Bach, Beethoven and Mozart. He also used his influence to establish interest in woodwind music by founding a woodwind chamber society, commissioning new woodwind chamber works, and composing an excellent woodwind quintet of his own.
Most of Taffanel's own compositions are typical salon or contours pieces of the time. The fantasias he composed for flute and piano based on opera themes on Mignon, Der Freischutz, Jean de Nivelle, and Francoise de Rimini were some of his earliest compositions.
His Fantaisie on Themes from Francoise de Rimini, composed in 1884, is based on Ambroise Thomas' grand opera of the same name. Taffanel based the Fantaisie on instrumental sections of the score -the Prologue and three dances from the Act III ballet music: Adagio, Saltarelle and Sevillana -recognizing that these sections contained some of the strongest lyrical material in the opera.
As a composer, Taffanel represented the last phase of the French romantic flute tra?dition. As a flutist and teacher, however, he initiated a new golden era. The flute shed its birdlike reputation and became an instru?ment worthy of serious attention.
Airs Valaques, Op. 10
Albert Franz Doppler
Born October 16, 1821 in Lemberg, Poland
Died July 27, 1883 in Baden near Vienna
The teenage brothers Franz and Karl Doppler were the most celebrated flute duo touring in mid-nineteenth-century Europe. They were from a family of Polish, Hungarian, and Austrian origins. As per-
formers, they were known for their expres?sive tone and perfect ensemble playing even in the most difficult passages. It has been written that Karl could play the flute held pointing to the left, something which aroused special attention when the brothers performed together. They often performed their own virtuosic compositions written for two flutes.
Both brothers went on to distinguished careers as composers and conductors. From 1847-58 Franz was first flute in the Pest Opera Orchestra (later Budapest), and in 1858 at the Vienna Opera, where he was also conductor of the ballet. From 1865 on he was professor of flute at the Vienna Conservatory.
Franz wrote six operas, fifteen ballets and many compositions for solo flute and for two flutes in collaboration with Karl. His compositions combine Italian, Russian, Polish and Hungarian stylistic features. National derivations are often specified in the titles of their works.
His composition Airs Valaques, Op. 10 for flute and piano is based on folk melodies from the Walachia region in what today is southern Romania. This area, which borders Moldavia and Transylvania, has a rich folk music and dance tradition.
II pastore svizzero
Francesco Morlacchi
Born June 14, 1784 in Perugia, Italy
Died October 28,1841 in Innsbruck
The Italian composer Francesco Morlacchi studied under his father in Perugia and later in Bologna. He composed a cantata for the coronation of Napoleon as King of Italy in Milan in 1805, and wrote seven operas by 1810. At that time he was engaged as perma?nent conductor of the Dresden Italian Opera in Germany, a post he held for over thirty years until his death.
Morlacchi composed a great number of operas, church music, songs, chants and instrumental works. He excelled at conduct?ing and was a versatile performer on a vari?ety of instruments: the violin, piano, clar?inet, bassoon, horn, cello and flute.
Ilpastore svizzero (The Swiss Shepherd) is a set of fantasy variations on several themes of Swiss character, alternating musical cantabile phrases with virtuoso technical acrobatics.

Flutist James Galway is internation?ally regarded as both a matchless interpreter of the classical reper?toire and a consummate entertain?er whose charismatic appeal cross?es all musical boundaries. His unique sound, superb musicianship, and dazzling virtuosity have made him one of the most respected and sought-after performing artists of our time. Through his extensive tours, numerous best-selling RCA Victor Red Seal and RCA Victor recordings and videos, and frequent television appearances, he has reached vast and diverse audiences world-wide, creating enthusiastic new fans for classical music. Mr. Galway's varied repertoire ranges from Bach, Vivaldi and Mozart to contemporary music, jazz and Irish folk melodies. In addition, he contin?ues to broaden the flute literature through his many commissions of works by contem?porary composers, and by incorporating these new works into his regular concert programs in seasons following the premiere. In recognition of these accomplishments, James Galway was named the 1997 "Musician of the Year" by Musical America. Mr. Galway continues to circle the globe annually, keeping his artistry fresh with a mixture of recitals, concerto appearances, chamber music, and master classes. Most recently, Mr. Galway has taken up the baton, and in addition to numerous perform?ingconducting engagements around the world, he has been named Principal Guest Conductor of the London Mozart Players.
Mr. Galway began his 1998-99 US concert season with a twenty-city chamber music tour, highlighted by performances at New York City's Carnegie Hall, San Francisco's Davies Symphony Hall, Chicago's Orchestra Hall, Boston's Symphony Hall and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC. Mr. Galway will be accompanied on this tour, which features music of Bach and other Baroque com-
posers, by acclaimed pianistharpsichordist Phillip Moll, gambist Sarah Cunningham, Baroque violinist Monica Huggett, and fel?low flutist (and wife) Jeanne Galway.
RCA launched two new recordings by James Galway in autumn 1998. The first disc is a much-anticipated second collaboration with award-winning Irish recording artist, Phil Coulter, entitled Winter's Crossing. This album features a special narration by Oscar-nominated actor, Liam Neeson. It has a unique blend of Celtic melodies with original compositions for flute and piano, inspired by the profound bravery of the Irish immigrants who first sailed to America. The release of Winter's Crossing follows the success of Mr. Galway and Mr. Coulter's 1997 debut effort, Legends (RCA Victor), which spent a total of twenty-nine weeks in the Top Five of Billboard's World Music Chart. The second release is a debut recording of three commissioned concertos, written especially for Mr. Galway by young American composer, Lowell Liebermann. The album, entitled James Galway Plays Lowell Liebermann, will include the first concert recording ever of both The Concerto for Flute and Orchestra and The Concerto for Flute, Harp and Orchestra.
Mr. Galway has the distinction of being one of the first classical artists to release an enhanced CD, which features a two-CD set of music from his classical and crossover reper?toire, and a CD-Rom portion for personal computer that includes video segments of him at home, conversations about his profes?sional and personal life, a brief interactive interview, and an extensive discography.
From the outset of his career, James Galway has dazzled viewers young and old with his virtuosity and his engaging person?ality through appearances on such television programs as the Tonight Show, the Today Show, Good Morning America, CBS This Morning, Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, Sesame Street, and PBS's Live from Lincoln
Center, and as host of his own holiday spe?cials.
Equally important as Mr. Galway's extensive performing and recording activi?ties is his continuing quest to enrich the repertoire of his instrument. Breaking new ground, he has transcribed numerous works originally composed for other instruments, and has commissioned works from distin?guished contemporary composers such as Lorin Maazel, Lowell Liebermann, William Bolcom, John Corigliano, Marc Neikrug, Joaquin Rodrigo, Thea Musgrave and oth?ers.
James Galway was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland. After mastering the penny whistle, he began serious training on the flute, winning three top prizes at a local competition at age twelve. He continued his
studies at London's Royal College of Music and Guildhall School, the Paris Conservatoire and with famed flutist Marcel Moyse. A series of positions with leading British orchestras culminated in his appointment as Principal Flute of the Berlin Philharmonic under Herbert von Karajan in 1969. After six years, Mr. Galway decided to establish a solo career, and within a year, had recorded his first four RCA LPs, played more than 120 concerts, and appeared as a soloist with London's four major orchestras. In 1979, he was awarded the Order of the British Empire by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for his musical contribution to society.
Tonight's recital marks James Galway's eleventh appearance under UMS auspices.
As a partner and accompanist for such celebrated artists as James Galway, Kyung Wha Chung, Anne Sophie Mutter, Jessye Norman and Margaret Price, Phillip Moll has performed in many of the world's most important concert and recital halls. He has also won critical praise as a soloist. Born in Chicago in 1943, Mr. Moll received his first instruction in piano and violin from his father, a violinist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He was awarded his Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature from Harvard University, but continued his study of music throughout his university years. Among his teachers were Alexander Tcherepnin, Claude Frank and Leonard Shure. At the University of Texas, where he earned his Master of Music degree, Mr. Moll became a teaching assistant in the opera workshop. He spent one year in Munich on a grant from the German government.
Phillip Moll was a member of the coaching staff of the Deutsche Oper Berlin for eight years beginning in 1970 and became increasingly active during this time as a soloist and accompanist. His collabora?tion with James Galway began in 1975.
Mr. Moll records and performs fre?quently as ensemble pianist and harpsi?chordist with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and plays in a trio and a four-teen-member ensemble with instrumental?ists from the Philharmonic. As a soloist, he has played with the Berlin Philharmonic, the Philharmonic Chamber Music Collegium Berlin, the English Chamber Orchestra, the Orchestra of St. John's Smith Square, and with major Australian orches?tras. He has toured extensively throughout Europe and North America, the Far East, Australia and Africa. Mr. Moll has also con?ducted opera in Japan.
Mr. Moll has recorded for BMG, Capriccio, Decca, Denon, Deutsche Grammophon, EMI, Koch International, Philips, Schwann, Summit and Tacet.
Tonight's recital marks Phillip Moll's fourth appearance under UMS auspices.

Born Anna Marie Woolridge in Chicago, Illinois, the tenth of twelve children, Abbey Lincoln grew up on a farm in Calvin Center, Michigan. At the age of five she could pick out melodies on the piano and eventually learned to accompany herself and sing. Ms. Lincoln's first profes?sional job took place in the basement of a church, which was staged as a cabaret set?ting.
As a singer in Los Angeles clubs in the 1950s, she allowed the producers at the famous Moulin Rouge to change her name to Gaby Woolridge. Her first mentor, the brilliant lyricist and songwriter Bob Russell, later named her Abbey Lincoln after the six?teenth president, saying, "Old Abe didn't really free the slaves, but maybe you can." Russell produced her first recording in 1955, Affair-A Story of a Girl in Love, with Benny Carter and Marty Paitch, and was instru?mental in securing Ms. Lincoln a featured performance in the 1956 Jayne Mansfield film The Girl Can't Help It (wearing the same dress worn by Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes).
In 1957, Ms. Lincoln began a musical collaboration with drummer Max Roach, to whom she was married from 1962-70. He brought her to Riverside Records, where she recorded That's Him, Abbey's Blue, and It's Magic. In 1961, she was featured on the famous Max Roach recording Freedom Now Suite.
In the 1960s, Abbey Lincoln became involved in the civil rights movement and she began writing some of her own materi?al, often full of social and political com?ment. Lincoln was featured in two major motion pictures as the female lead: Nothing But a Man, a true-to-life drama of black family life; and For Love of Ivy, with Sidney Poitier, Carroll O'Connor and Beau Bridges.
In 1989, Jean-Phillippe Allard invited her to record for Polygram France. Her recording and performing career moved into a higher gear, producing what most observers agree is the finest work of her career. She has recorded seven albums with Verve, including her new release Wholly Earth.
In addition to singing, songwriting, and acting, Ms. Lincoln is a storyteller par excel?lence and lectures at schools and universi?ties. She has taught theatre for one year at the California State University at Northridge. Because of her deep concern for the poor and disadvantaged, Ms. Lincoln has been awarded numerous civic and community awards.
Tonight's performance marks Abbey Lincoln's debut appearance under UMS auspices.

String Quartet in G Major, Op. 77, No. 1
Joseph Haydn
Born March 31,1732 in Rohrau,
Lower Austria Died May 31, 1809 in Vienna
In 1799, two years after completing his cele?brated series of six string quartets for Count Erdody (Op. 76), Haydn started work on yet another set, this time for Prince Lobkowitz. He only completed two of the six, however. (One contemporary document, perhaps mistakenly, suggests that he had completed four; if so, two works must have been destroyed.)
Around the same time Haydn was working on string quartets for Lobkowitz, a younger composer by the name of Ludwig van Beethoven was doing the very same thing. Beethoven completed his set of six string quartets (later published as Op. 18) in the spring of 1800. It may well be that Haydn withdrew from his project at least in part because of the arrival on the scene of the unruly young genius. Haydn used to call Beethoven, his rebellious erstwhile student, the "Grand Mogul," in a mocking reference to the younger man's boundless ambition, though he was the first to recognize Beethoven's exceptional talent. Yet it seems that around the time of Haydn's Op. 77 and Beethoven's Op. 18 the relationship between the two composers was far from ideal. The least one can say of the two quartets of Op. 77 -which are exactly 200-years old this year -is that the sixty-seven-year-old Haydn rose to his younger colleague's chal?lenge. Some moments in the two works have even been said to resemble echoes or reflections of what we now call "early" Beethoven.
The first of the two quartets, in G Major, opens with an "Allegro moderato" that fills out its regular sonata-form scheme with many subtle suprises and delicate
touches. The cheerful, march-like first theme, for instance, is almost immediately overshadowed by harmonies suggesting the minor mode. For a movement that began in such an unassuming way, the development section gets extremely agitated at times, though it also includes one of Haydn's favorite audience-fooling devices, the "false recapitulation," in which the main theme returns in the home key, only to disappear again after a few measures to make room for more development material.
The second movement is in E-flat Major, a tonality rather far removed from the original key of G Major. (In his later years, he became increasingly fond of such tonal juxtapositions, which create a quite audible jolt between movements.) It is one of Haydn's greatest Adagios, with themes of a rich singing quality and a harmonic range that is sometimes reminiscent of Beethoven. The first violin part adds elaborate orna?ments to the highly expressive melodies.
The third movement ("Minuet and Trio") is even more "Beethovenian." Many of the movement's features are most unusu?al for Haydn and announce a new era. The tempo is extremely fast for a minuet (Presto). Off-beat accents abound in the theme. Almost all the repeats are written out (instead of being indicated by repeat signs), and important changes are introduced the second time. The first violin reaches high notes unheard of in the earlier quartet repertoire. No clear separation exists between minuet and trio; the trio arrives without warning by means of an unexpect?ed jump into the key of E-flat Major, visit?ing that remote tonality for the second time in the quartet. The ending of this highly dramatic trio is left open, as the music grad?ually modulates back to G Major. Quite an astonishing movement!
The following "Presto" is Haydn's last word on the contradanse finale, one of his favorite finale types for decades. The main
theme is presented twice at the beginning: the first time in unison and then with har?monies. This duality of simplicity and sophistication remains the principal driving force throughout the movement, right up to the ending, for which Haydn saved some delicious surprises.
String Quartet No. 3 (Sz 85)
Bela Bartdk
Born March 25, 1881 in Nagyszentmiklos,
Hungary (now Sinnicolau Mare,
Romania) Died September 26,1945 in New York
Whenever Bela Bart6k was asked to com?ment on his own music, he preferred to address only one aspect of it: the relation?ship between his compositions and folk music. A leading expert in the then-new dis?cipline of ethnomusicology, Bartok had col?lected, notated and analyzed thousands of melodies of Hungarian, Romanian, and Slovak origin, and quite a few from other ethnic groups. The influence of these melodies was easy to see in the arrange?ments and straightforward folksong imita?tions found in many of Bartok's works. Yet the composer maintained that all his works had folk music as their basis, even, he stressed, the string quartets, "except their setting is stricter."
This statement has puzzled quite a few commentators who saw in the six quartets (especially Nos. 3 and 4) the acme of Bartok's modernism. In fact, it may well be that at first hearing, the listener's attention is engaged by the highly advanced harmonic and rhythmic idiom. Yet the folk-music influence is never too far from the surface. For all its "modernity," the String Quartet No. 3 is full of references (sometimes veiled, sometimes more overt) to Hungarian folk music. Bart6k's strategy consists in using only one parameter of his folk sources at a
time: he will either quote a typical penta-tonic cadence from Hungarian folk music (G-C-A) without the rest of the tune, or use a symmetrical melodic structure derived from folk music but filled out by markedly non-folkloric pitch material. In this way, the traditional and non-traditional elements of his style are fused in a seamless unity.
The String Quartet No. 3 is in a single movement but is divided into four clearly demarcated segments. A slow Prima parte and a fast Seconda parte are followed by a varied recapitulation of Part I and a "Coda" based on Part II. The Prima parte is a mas?terful example of organic growth: a com?plex and variegated movement arises from two or three tiny motifs that are themselves interrelated. One of the most important moments comes at the end of the section, where these tiny motifs coalesce into a long, pentatonic musical phrase (played by the second violin and the viola). The Seconda
parte brings together a string of themes in var?ious dance meters, both symmetrical and asymmetrical. The dance becomes more and more excit?ed; the themes are developed in contrapuntal imitation, almost
as it the dancers tripped over one another. The end of the section was best character?ized by Janos Karpati in his book Bartok's Chamber Music (Pendragon Press: Stuyvesant, NY, 1994): "The composer's 'scalpel' continues to strip off the thematic and motivic layers -penetrating right down to the 'skeleton' of the themes." This is followed by the return of the slow tempo (Ricapitulazione della prima parte) in which
the short motifs of the work's opening are reconfigured to form a completely new musical entity. Finally, the "Coda" presents the main thematic material of the Seconda Parte in a condensed version, culminating in a climactic ending.
String Quartet in E-flat Major, Op. 51
Antonin Dvorak
Born September 8, 1841 in Nelahozeves,
Bohemia (now Czech Republic) Died May 1, 1904 in Prague
Antonin Dvorak was never one to wrestle with Fate like his much-admired fellow Slav, Piotr Tchaikovsky; nor did he feel he had to carry the entire history of music on his shoulders like his mentor Johannes Brahms. This fact has led to a one-sided evaluation of Dvorak as an easygoing "Bohemian musi?cian" who lacked the depth of some of his contemporaries. The truth is more com?plex, however. In fact, if Dvorak had done no more than express the soul of his native country in works that combined the best classical tradition with beautiful melodies of a distinctive Czech flavor, his accomplish?ment would be considerable. Yet he did far more. The uniqueness of his approach lies certainly, to some extent at least, in intro?ducing the voice of his nation to the inter?national music world from Vienna to London and New York. But his own person?al voice also rings loud and clear, proving that even after Beethoven and Wagner, it was possible to create great music that wasn't tragic and heaven-storming. In any event, who other than Brahms produced a body of chamber music in Central Europe in the second half of the nineteenth century that is comparable to Dvorak's both in quantity and quality
The String Quartet in E-flat Major was written at the time when Dvorak was just beginning to be known beyond the bound?aries of Bohemia. The composer obviously tried to make the most of the widespread interest in the Bohemian manner, an inter?est he had sparked with his wildly successful Slavonic Dances and Rhapsodies. The Florence Quartet, led by Jean Becker, had requested a specifically Slavonic work, and Dvorak was happy to oblige.
Still, we would do less than justice to this beautiful composition if all we saw were the "Bohemianisms," which were much less effective without Dvorak's virtuosic han?dling of the string-quartet texture. It is listed as No. 10 in the catalog, but the earlier quartets have all remained little known, which almost makes it appear as if the mas?tery of Op. 51 had no precedent in the com?poser's oeuvre. At any rate, the inventive, ever-changing harmonic and contrapuntal elaborations are every bit as important here as the "Slavonic" melodies.
Those elaborations are rather intricate in the opening "Allegro ma non troppo." There is a similarity between the rhythmic shapes of the two principal themes, which are close enough to preserve a unity of tone but diverse enough to avoid monotony. In the development section, both themes are memorably combined when the first melody is played "in slow motion" while a variant of the second is heard at the original speed. And that is only one of the myriad subtle tricks Dvorak plays in this remarkable movement.
The second movement, "Andante con moto," proclaims its Slavic origins in its title "Dumka" -one of many instances where Dvorak alluded to this melancholy song type whose various forms are at home in several Slavic countries. The subtitle "Elegy," expresses the same idea in terms that would be more familiar to non-Slavic audiences. The plaintive minor-key melody, played in
alternation by the first violin and the viola, gives way to a middle section in a fast tempo ("Vivace"), evoking the typical rhythm of the Czech furiant (mixing "one-two-three, one-two-three" with "one-two, one-two, one-two"). After this lively folk dance, the durrika returns. Its sad mood seems to rub off on the furiant as well, for the fast dance returns a second time in minor instead of major. Also, the tempo becomes gradually slower and slower until the final measures restore the "Vivace."
The third-movement "Romanza" is based on a single, peaceful melody in B-flat Major that visits other keys but for the most part projects a feeling of stasis, a respite after two movements that were constantly on the move.
The last movement is an undisguised folk dance (its model was the skocnd or leaping dance). Its engaging main theme is taken up later as the starting point for a brilliant fugato. The second theme is distin?guished by its slightly slower tempo, con?trasting with the Piii allegro (faster than Tempo I) of the quartet's final measures.
Program notes by Peter Laki.
The Takacs Quartet is today recog?nized as one of the world's leading string quartets. Since its formation in 1975, the ensemble has appeared regularly in every major music capital and prestigious festival. Since 1983 the quartet has held a Residency at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and its members were given permanent faculty appointments there in 1986. Since the 1988-89 season, the Quartet has also been teach?ing and performing as Quartet-in-Residence at the Barbican Center and the Guildhall School of Music in London.
In early 1998, LondonDecca Records released the Takacs Quartet's recording of the Bartok cycle, which they performed in May, 1998 at the Freer Gallery in Washington DC, and will perform again at UC Berkeley in September, 1999; and in New York's Alice Tully Hall in January, 2000. The Bartok cycle recording has received unanimously stellar reviews worldwide; in October, 1998 it received the Gramophone "Chamber Music Recording of the Year" Award, and in January, 1999 it was nominat?ed for a Grammy. During the summer of 1998 they opened the Mostly Mozart Festival's Haydn Quartet Cycle with five concerts in New York City, and will return to perform at the 1999 Festival, this time in Avery Fisher Hall. The Takacs Quartet has been named a Quartet-in-Residence at the Aspen Festival, and every summer will return there for a week. Summer, 1999 also will include concerts at the Gstaad Festival and the Luberon Festival in France.
During the current season the Takacs Quartet performs over fifty concerts in the US, tours extensively in Europe, and returns to Australia, New Zealand, Japan and South America. The Takacs Quartet's latest record?ing release for London Records, with which they signed an exclusive recording contract
in 1988, includes the Schubert "Trout" Quintet with Andreas Haefliger, piano. Their next CD, to be released in 1999, includes Dvorak's String Quartet Op. 51 and Dvorak's Piano Quintet Op. 81, also with Andreas Haefliger. In 2000, the first install?ment of a complete Beethoven cycle record?ing is to be released, of String Quartet Op. 59, nos. 2 and 3. The ensemble's discography includes Schubert's String Quartet in G Major (named "Top Classical CD of the Year 1997" by the London Sunday Times), Schubert's Piano Trio in E-flat Major, a disc of quartets by Smetana and Borodin; Haydn's Op. 76, 77 and 103 quartets; the three Brahms quartets and Piano Quintet in f minor with Andras Schiff; Chausson's Concerto for Violin, Piano, and String Quartet with Joshua Bell and Jean-Yves Thibaudet; Mozart's String Quintets, K. 515 and 516 with Gyorgy Pauk; and Schubert's Quartettsatz, Rosamunde, and Death and the Maiden.
Recent Takacs seasons have included Bartok cycles in London, Madrid and Seville; Schubert cycles in London, Lisbon, Utrecht and Spain; and a Brahms cycle in London. The Quartet has performed Beethoven cycles in Paris, London, Zurich, Sydney, New York (1990-91), is doing so currently at Middlebury College in Vermont, and performed numerous con?certs surrounding the Mozart anniversary year in 1991. During the summer of 1993, the Quartet gave a cycle of three concerts at the Salzburg Festival featuring the quartets of Bartok and Brahms. Important American engagements have included the Quartet's 1989 Lincoln Center deburt on the Great Performers Series; two concerts encompass?ing all of Bartok's string quartets in 1990 at the 92nd Street Y; and a six-concert Haydn Festival, with pianist Andras Schiff, at the Metropolitan Museum in New York and at Wigmore Hall in London in 1991. The Quartet made its Carnegie Hall debut in 1992.
The Takacs Quartet was formed by Gabor Takacs-Nagy, Karoly Schranz, Gabor Ormai and Andras Fejer in 1975, while all four were students at Budapest's Liszt Academy. It first received international attention in 1977, winning First Prize and the Critics' Prize at the International String Quartet Competititon in Evian, France. Thereafter, the Takacs won the Gold Medal at the 1978 Portsmouth and Bordeaux Competitions and First Prizes at the Budapest International String Quartet Competition (1978) and the Bratislava Competition (1981). The Takacs Quartet made its North American debut tour in 1982.
Tonight's performance marks the Takacs Quartet's second appearance under UMS aus?pices.

This work is dedicated to the joy ... the beauty ... the creativity ... and the wild spirit of my friend Joyce Trisler.
How pitiful is her sleep.
Now her clear breath is still.
There is nothing falling tonight,
Bird or man,
As dear as she.
Nowhere that she should go
Without me. None but my calling
O nothing but the cold cry of the snow.
-Kenneth Patch
(In Memory of Kathleen)
Acoustic pianist and composer Keith Jarrett is known internationally for his keyboard improvisation. Mr. Jarrett has toured with his own trio and quartet, and as a soloist extensively in Europe, Russia and the United States. He has recorded in a wide range of contexts, both live and in studio settings, and has received numerous awards.
Funds for this production were provided, in part, by The Ford Foundation.

Born in 1899, in Washington, DC, American composer, pianist and jazz-band leader Duke Ellington is one of the most influential figures in the history of music. In the early 1930s his band established its fame at the legendary Cotton Club in Harlem. Later it toured both nationally and internationally. The "Duke" wrote over 900 compositions before his death in 1974; among his classics are Mood Indigo, Solitude, Caravan, Sophisticated Lady, and Black, Brown, and Beige.

Homecoming and Inheritance
The Beginning
This ballet deals with the real and imaginative life of Hector Hyppolite, the most notable of primitive painters in Haiti's history. Hyppolite was for all his life a houngan -a high priest of the Haitian people's religion, Voudoun. In the years before he gained recognition, he decorated doors, chairs, postcards and even painted flowers on chamberpots. In 1943 the Voudoun Goddess Erzulie and St. John the Baptist came to him in a vision. This vision, and a real or imagined sojourn in Africa, inspired him to paint his vision of the Voudoun "loas" -the gods of Africa who ruled his life. Also, the gods in that vision told him that a man from overseas would buy his paintings and that his life would change for the better. Andre Breton was that man, and Hector Hyppolite, after nearly a half century of reverence, came to be celebrated for his genius.

Geoffrey Holder is currently at the peak of his career. He received two Tony Awards for Best Director and for Best Costume Designer for his work in The Wiz. Numerous awards for Timbuktoo which he directed, choreographed and costumed starring Eartha Kitt. As a painter, he won the Guggenheim Fellowship Award, and his many television commercials have resulted in his winning several Clio Awards for his work with 7-Up and British West Indian Airlines.
On Broadway, Mr. Holder performed as a principal dancer in Truman Capote's House of Flowers where he met his wife, the fabulous actress, dancer and choreographer, Carmen de Lavallade. As an actor he played the part of Lucky in Waiting for Godot. His films are 007's Live and Let Die for which he choreographed and performed the role of Baron Samedi; Dr. Doolittle with Rex Harrison; Punjab in Annie with Albert Finney; and had a role designed for him by Claude Lelouche in the upcoming french movie Hazard Au Coincidence.
He was premier danseur at the Metropolitan Opera House; for the Dance Theatre of Harlem, he choreographed, designed the costumes and wrote the music for three of their ballets -Dougla, Banda, and Bele, and created the costumes and sets for their Firebird.
Mr. Holder's paintings have been acquired by the Corcoran Gallery; the Barbados Museum; The Museum of Art in Durham, North Carolina; the Museum of the City of New York; the National Gallery in Washington and the Leonard Hana collection, as well as various private collectors.

The late beloved Ulysses Dove was a "choreographer with a bold new voice," whose works can be seen in the repertories of major dance companies such as the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, The Culberg Ballet, Bayerische Statsoper and Ballet France de Nancy. A native of Columbia, South Carolina, Dove began studying modern dance and ballet with Carolyn Tate, Xenia Chilstowa, Jack Moore, Judith Dunn, Bertram Ross, Helen McGehee and Mary Hinkson. After receiving his bachelor's degree from Bennington College, Dove moved to New York City, where he studied with Maggie Black and Alfredo Corvino and performed with Jose Limon, Mary Antony, Pearl Lang and Anna Sokolow. In 1970, he received a scholarship to the Merce Cunningham School, and later joined the Merce Cunningham Dance Company. Shortly thereafter, he made his choreographic debut in 1979 with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. From 1980-83 Dove was the assis?tant director of Groupe Recherche Choreographique de l'Opera de Paris, where he taught company classes and choreographed. Ms. Jamison is commit?ted to his works as a continuing legacy to the Ailey repertory.

"Used by special arrangement with Galaxy Music Corporation, New York City.
The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater grew from a now fabled performance of March, 1958, at the 92nd Street Young Men's Hebrew Association in New York. Led by Alvin Ailey and a group of young black modern dancers, that performance changed forever the perception of American dance. The Ailey company has gone on to perform for an estimated nineteen-million people in forty-eight states and in sixty-eight countries on six continents, including a recent historic residency in South Africa. The company has earned a reputation as one of the most acclaimed international ambassadors of American culture, promot?ing the uniqueness of black cultural expres?sion and the preservation and enrichment of the American modern dance heritage. Born in Rogers, Texas on January 5, 1931, Alvin Ailey was introduced to dance
by performances ot the Katherine Dunham Dance Company and the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. His formal dance training began with an introduc?tion to Lester Horton's classes by his friend, Carmen de Lavallade.
When Mr. Ailey began creating dance, he drew upon his "blood memories" of Texas, the blues, spirituals and gospel as inspiration, which resulted in the creation of two of his most popular and critically acclaimed works -Blues Suite and Revelations.
Although he created seventy-nine bal?lets over his lifetime, Alvin Ailey maintained that his company was not exclusively a repository for his own work. Today, the company continues Mr. Ailey's legacy of
presenting important works of the past and commissioning new ones. In all, more than 180 works by over sixty choreographers have been performed by the Ailey company.
In 1989, after the death of Alvin Ailey, Judith Jamison was appointed Artistic Director of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Ms. Jamison wrote in her autobiog?raphy, Dancing Spirit, "I hope I'm a continu?ation of Alvin's vision. He has left me a road map. It's very clear. It works."
These performances mark Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater's twenty-second, twenty-third, and twenty-fourth appearances under VMS auspices.
Judith Jamison was appointed Artistic Director of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in 1989, after the death of her mentor, Alvin Ailey. A native of Philadelphia, she studied with the late Marion Cuyjet, was discovered by Agnes de Mille and made her New York debut with American Ballet Theatre in 1964. She became a member of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in 1965 and danced with the Company for fif?teen years to great acclaim. Recognizing her extraordinary talent, Mr. Ailey created some of his most enduring roles for her, most notably the tour de force solo Cry.
After leaving the Company, Ms. Jamison appeared as a guest artist with bal?let companies all over the world and starred in the hit Broadway musical Sophisticated Ladies. In 1988, she formed her own compa?ny, The Jamison Project, and a PBS special depicting her creative process, Judith Jamison: The Dancemaker, aired nationally the same year.
A highly regarded choreographer, Ms. Jamison has created works for many compa?nies. Sweet Release premiered at Lincoln
Center Festival 1996, to original music by Wynton Marsalis. Rift (1991), Hymn (1993), a collabo?ration with Anna Deavere Smith fea?tured on the PBS television special Great
Performances, and Riverside {1995)
are other major works she has choreo?graphed for the Company.
Ms. Jamison is a master teacher, lecturer and author (her autobiography, Dancing Spirit, was published in 1993). She is a noted authority on modern dance and an advocate for education in the arts. She sits on the boards of several organizations including Jacob's Pillow and the Advisory Board of the Harkness Center for Dance Injuries. She is the recipient of many awards and honorary degrees (the latest from Yale University in 1997).
Today, Judith Jamison presides over a renewed Ailey organization, artistically and fiscally invigorated. Her presence has been a catalyst, propelling the organization in new directions -the development of the Women's Choreography Initiative, Company performances at the Olympic Arts Festival, national appearances by the Company in American Express television and print ads, and the Company's unprecedented return to South Africa. She has continued Mr. Ailey's practice of showcasing the talents of emerg?ing choreographers from within the ranks of the Company. As Artistic Director of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Center, the official school of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, she has helped to implement a multicultural curriculum including the dance of West Africa. She has also been a guiding force in establishing a B.F.A. pro-
gram with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Center and Fordham University which offers a unique combination of superb dance training and a superior liberal arts education. Her focus, as the Company ush?ers in the Fortieth Anniversary Season, remains on the importance of the constant rejuvenation of the Ailey legacy-dance as a medium for honoring the past, celebrating the present and fearlessly reaching into the future.
Masazumi Chaya was born in Fukuoka, Japan where he began his classical ballet training.
