Leadership
LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Thanks very much for attending this UMS performance and for supporting the performing arts in our community. UMS' 1999-2000 season is one of our best ever, and I hope I'll see you at some other performances. A complete listing of the season begins on page 29.
To be able to bring performances like this one to Ann Arbor takes a lot of people work?ing together as a team. I'm privileged to work with an outstanding Board of Directors, Senate, Advisory Committee, and staff, all of whose names are listed on pages 14-15.
It is the staff who works day in and day out to assure that you are able to see the world's best performing artists. I firmly believe that UMS has the finest staff of any performing arts presenting organization in the country. The programming staff works with artists and artists' managers to design a diverse, exciting, and high-quality season, which this year features over ninety performances. The production staff looks after the wellbeing of our artists and makes the performances look sharp and run smoothly. The education and audience development team, working with over fifty community partners, designs and manages more than 175 events to enhance the audiences' understanding and apprecia?tion of our artists and their work. People
learn about our programs through many different media thanks to the efforts of our marketing staff, which last season led UMS to an all-time record in ticket sales. Our box office staff has a well-deserved reputation of providing outstanding personalized service. The internal operation of UMS--finances, human resources, space, planning, etc.--are the purview of our skilled administrative team. And then there's the development team that each year raises 41 of our income, which is necessary to meet costs not covered by ticket sales. In the 1998-99 season, this figure was $2.3 million.
Speaking of development, this year UMS celebrates the tenth anniversary of Catherine Arcure's service as Director of Development. In these ten years, Cathy's department has always exceeded its annual fundraising goal and has nearly tripled the number of donors to UMS. Our overall financial health has
improved dramatically in the past decade, and Cathy's fundraising successes with indi?viduals as well as foundations, corporations, and government agencies have been key to this turnaround. Cathy has also been instru?mental in developing the Advisory Committee into an outstanding volunteer organization that raises over $200,000 a year for UMS through the Ford Honors Program, Season Opening Party, an annual auction, and other special projects. Then there is Cathy's personal commitment to serve each and every member of UMS.
Among Cathy's proudest achievements is BRAVO!, the 224-page cookbook which UMS unveiled on September 17. More than 100 volunteers, under the leadership of Mary Ann Daane and Anne Glendon, worked on this publication for over two years. What better way for Cathy to combine two of her loves, cooking and UMS, than to create a vehicle for people everywhere to enjoy the legends, lore, and recipes from 120 years of UMS -and for UMS to have a source of revenue for many years to come. For more information on BRAVO!, please see p. 37.
Thank you, Cathy, for your outstanding contribution to UMS and to our community.
I'd like to know your thoughts about this performance. I'd also like to learn from you about anything we can do at UMS to make your concertgoing experience the best possi?ble. If we don't see each other in the lobby, please call my office at 734.647.1174, drop me a note, or send me an e-mail message at kenfisch@umich.edu.
Sincerely,
Kenneth C. Fischer, President

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR
It is with great pride that we acknowl?edge and extend our gratitude to the major business contributors to our 19992000 season listed on the follow?ing 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 asso?ciated 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 requirements are met by the private sector: very special individuals, organizations and companies that so generously help bring the magic to UMS performances 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 UMS are grateful for the opportunities that these gifts make possible, enhancing the quality of life in our area.

UMS HISTORY
The goal of the University Musical Society (UMS) is 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, has placed UMS in a league of internationally-recognized perform?ing arts presenters. Indeed, Musical America selected UMS as one of the five most influen?tial arts presenters in the United States in 1999. Today, the UMS seasonal program is a reflection of a thoughtful respect for its rich and varied history, balanced by a commitment to dynamic and creative visions of where the performing arts will take us in the upcoming millennium. Every day UMS seeks to cultivate, nurture and stimulate 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. 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 mem?bers also belonged to the University, the University Musical Society was established in December 1880. UMS 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 traditional and contemporary work from the full spectrum of the performing arts -internationally renowned recitalists and
Musical America selected UMS as one of the five most influ?ential arts presenters in the United States in 1999.
orchestras, dance and chamber ensembles, jazz and world music performers, perform?ance artists, opera and theatre. Through educational endeavors, commissioning of new works, youth programs, artist residencies and other collaborative projects, UMS has maintained its reputation for quality, artistic distinction and innovation. UMS now hosts over ninety performances and more than 175 educational events each season. UMS has flourished with the support of a generous community that gathers to enjoy world-class events in Hill and Rackham Auditoria, the
Power Center for the Performing Arts, the Michigan Theater, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre, and the Detroit Opera House.
While proudly affiliated with the University of Michigan, housed on the Ann Arbor campus, and a regular collaborator with many Univer?sity units, UMS is a separate not-for-profit organization, which supports itself through ticket sales, corporate and individual contri?butions, foundation and government grants, and endowment income.

UMS CHORAL UNION
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 150-voice Choral Union is especially well known for its definitive performances of large-scale works for chorus and orchestra. Six 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 Meadow Brook for subscription performances of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, Orff's Carmina Burana, Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe and Brahms' Ein deutsches Requiem, 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, inaugurating the partner?ship with a performance of Britten's War Requiem, and continuing with performances of the Berlioz Requiem, Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius 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).
In the past two seasons, the Choral Union has given acclaimed concert presentations of Gershwin's Porgy and Bess with the Birmingham-Bloomfield Symphony Orchestra and musical-theatre favorites with Erich Kunzel and the DSO at Meadow Brook. A 72-voice chorus drawn from the larger choir has performed Durufle's Requiem, the Langlais Messe Solenelle, the Mozart Requiem and other works, and the Choral Union Chamber Chorale recently presented "Creativity in Later Life," a program of late works by nine composers of all historical periods, at the University of Michigan Museum of Art.
During the 1998-99 season, the Choral Union performed in three major subscription series at Orchestra Hall with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, including performances of Brahms' Ein deutsches Requiem and Rachmaninoff's The Bells, both conducted by Neeme Jarvi, and Kodaly's Psalmus Hungarians, conducted by the legendary Gennady Rozhdestvensky. Other programs included Handel's Messiah with the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra, and Carmina Burana with the Toledo Symphony.
During the current season, the Choral Union will again appear in three series with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra: the first two, conducted by Neeme Jarvi, include per?formances of Shostakovich's Symphony No. 13 (Babi Yar) followed by Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 paired with Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms. The last of these three series will fea?ture performances of John Adams' Harmonium, conducted by the composer. The women of the chorus will also perform Mahler's Symphony No. 3 with the Ann Arbor Symphony, and sixty singers will join the Gabrieli Consort & Players for an Advent program based on the music of Praetorius. A highlight of the season will be a performance on Palm Sunday afternoon, April 16,2000, of J. S. Bach's

AUD1TORIA & BURTON MEMORIAL TOWER
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, the 4,163-seat Hill Auditorium has served as a showplace for a variety of important debuts and long rela?tionships throughout the past eighty-six years. With acoustics that highlight everything from the softest notes of vocal recitalists to the grandeur of the finest orchestras, Hill Auditorium is known and loved throughout the world.
Former U-M regent Arthur Hill bequeathed $200,000 to the University for the construction of an auditorium for lectures, concerts and other university events. Then-UMS President Charles Sink raised an additional $150,000, and the concert hall opened in 1913 with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra performing Beethoven's 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 wheel?chair seating (1995), decreased the seating capacity to its current 4,163.
Hill Auditorium is slated for renovation in the coming years. Developed by Albert Kahn and Associates (architects of the original concert hall) and leading theatre and acousti?cal consultants, the renovation plans include an elevator, expanded bathroom facilities, air conditioning, and other improvements.
Rackham Auditorium
Sixty years ago, chamber music concerts in Ann Arbor were a relative rarity, pre?sented 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 devel?opment of graduate studies. Even more remarkable than the size of the gift, which is still considered one of the most ambitious ever given to higher-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 grew out of 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 1,390-seat Power Center is more than seventy-two 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 Michigan Theater opened January 5,1928 at the peak of the vaude?villemovie palace era. Designed by Maurice Finkel, the 1,710-seat theater cost approxi?mately $600,000 when it was first built. The gracious facade and beautiful interior housed not only the theater, but nine stores, offices on the second floor and bowling alleys running the length of the basement. As was the custom of the day, the theater was equipped to host both film and live 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 balcony, outer lobby and facade will be completed by 2003.
In the fall of 1999, the Michigan Theater will open the doors of a new 200-seat screen?ing room addition, as well as additional rest-room facilities, which have been built onto the existing 1928 structure.
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 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 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 ded?ication, 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 cappella choral music and early music ensembles.
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
In 1926, construction was being discussed for the Women's League, the female coun?terpart to the all-male Michigan Union. Gordon Mendelssohn of Detroit seized the opportunity to support the inclusion of a theatre in the plans and building of the Woman's League, and donated $50,000 in 1926 to establish the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre, stipulating that the theatre would
always bear his mother's name. UMS 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 the?atre for the 100th May Festival's Cabaret Ball. Now, with a new programmatic initiative to pres?ent song in recital, the superlative Mendelssohn Theatre has become a recent venue addition to UMS' roster and the home of the Song Recital series.
Detroit Opera House
The Detroit Opera House opened in April of 1996 fol?lowing an extensive renovation by Michigan Opera Theatre. Boasting a 75,000 square foot stage house (the largest stage between New York and Chicago), an orchestra pit large enough to accommodate 100 musicians and an acoustical virtue to rival the
world's great opera houses, the 2,800-seat facility has rapidly become one of the most viable and coveted theatres in the nation. In only two seasons, the Detroit Opera House became the foundation of a landmark programming collaboration with the Nederlander organization and Olympia

ACT I
Under the leadership of King Arthur, and with the aid of Merlin the Magician, the Britons have driven the Saxons back into Kent. On this, Saint George's day, they are preparing for the final battle. King Arthur takes his leave of his fiance'e Emmeline, who is blind. Meanwhile, the Saxon King Oswald, with the help of the Magician Osmond and the evil spirit Grimbald, is preparing for battle by making animal and human sacri?fices to their Gods Woden, Thor, and Freya so that they may be propitious.
No. 2 OVERTURE
She (Narrator)
As the curtain rises, King Arthur,
King of all Great Britain, prepares to face the Saxon
invaders.
He (Arthur)
"See, the Saxon gross begins to move.
Their infantry embattled, fair, fierce and
proud,
March firmly on, to fill the middle space: Covered by their advancing cavalry. By Heaven, 'tis beauteous horror ... Beauteous horror ... But soft ..."
No. 3 AIR
(The following dialogue over music)
He (Narrator)
It is the fair Emmeline; as she approaches,
a new, but--oh--a softer flame inspires me.
My betrothed. I won her love from
Oswald...
won it fairly...though he's my enemy. All rage and vengeance slumber at her sight. Her sight What say I For my only love like love itself is blind...the sight is mine and mine alone.
(end of the music)
She (Emmeline)
My father
He (Arthur) Not he.
She (Emmeline)
I'm sure I saw his voice.
He (Arthur)
Your Arthur...who loves you more than
day or night can know.
She (Emmeline)
And I know naught of them. But I understand when you say love. For when my father clasps his hand in mine, that's cold and I can feel it hard and wrinkled. But when you grasp it, then I sigh and pant, and something smarts and tickles in my heart.
He (Arthur) Had she but eyes!
She (Emmeline) I have two.
He (Arthur)
But neither see.
She (Emmeline)
I'm sure they hear you then, or touch you.
Can eyes do more
Is not seeing touching with the eyes
'He (Arthur) No alas. I see at a distance where I touch not.
She (Emmeline)
If you can see so far and yet not touch, I fear you see my naked feet and legs and more...beneath my clothes. Pray do
not see so well.
He (Arthur)
Fear not, sweet innocence...do you know what war is
She (Emmeline)
Aye. Men hear the angry trumpet bray, then feel about for one another's faces, and so they meet and kill.
He (Arthur)
May you be spared it. Farewell!
She (Emmeline)
Farewell!
He (Narrator)
...and so we cut to the opposing camp.
The vile Saxon, heathen horde worshipping
their accursed graven images:
Thor, Freya and Woden, king of all the
gods of the godless.
She (Narrator)
Then six Saxon youths, fine, fair, blonde,
bold, well built, the flower of their race, are brought
into the
camp. The great high priest of all the heathen stands before them and sings.

No. 11 FIRST ACTTUNE
ACT II
The spirit of Philidel, unable to serve the powers of darkness, has fled the service of Osmond in order to ensure his salvation. Merlin, hearing Philidel lamenting on the battlefield, offers him the chance to prove himself by protecting the Britons against the forces of evil. Grimbald, disguised as a shepherd, tries to lead the Britons who are pursuing the fleeing Oswald astray, but Philidel saves the day. Defeated, Grimbald ' disappears in a flash of lightning. Philidel and the spirits lead the Britons to safety. In the meantime, Emmeline, who is awaiting King Arthur's return in the Briton camp, is being entertained by shepherds and shepherdesses. Oswald and Guillamar abduct Emmeline and Matilda. Arthur asks Oswald to give Emmeline back to him and to share his kingdom. Oswald refuses and Arthur calls his people to arms.
He (Narrator)
Now a duet for two magicians. Merlin...
She (Narrator) ...andPhilidel.
He (Merlin)
"What art thou spirit
For I have viewed thee in my magic glass."
She (Philidel)
My name is Philidel,
an airy spirit, the tenderest of my kind,
the least deformed and least seduced of hell,
desirous to repent and loath to sin.
I can assume any shape you wish,
for which all the demons envy me.
He (Merlin)
Any shape
She (Philidel)
Any shape at all.
He (Merlin) Be a cat.

He (Merlin)
Good. Now be a deer.

He (Merlin)
Hmm...Nice antlers. Be invisible.
She (Philidel) (Invisibly) This is all too easy.
He (Merlin)
Where did she go
She (Philidel)
Master, enough of this. Arthur and his
soldiers are near at hand with the evil Grimbald who
is trying to lead them astray...into danger.
He (Merlin)
They're no match for you. Mislead them
all, up and down and round and about.
She (Philidel) I obey.

King Arthur is led hither and thither by
two
spirits: Philidel and Grimbald, two types of
magic: good and bad.
She (Philidel) Follow... me.

He (Narrator)
The blind Emmeline returns with Matilda (indicates himself), her waiting gentlewoman.
He (Matilda)
Madam, what do you suppose King
Arthur to be like
She (Emmeline)
He must be made of the most precious
things,
and I believe his mouth and eyes and cheeks
and nose, and all his face are made of gold.
He (Matilda)
Gold Heaven bless us Madam.
If it be yellow he must have the jaundice,
and that's a bad disease.
(The following dialogue over beginning of No. 16)
He (Matilda)
But see, here's a troupe of Kentish lads and
lasses come to entertain you till your lord's
return from battle.
Shepherds they are and shepherdesses
to sing and dance for your delight.
She (Emmeline)
Bring them in, let them sing,
for though I cannot see the songs, I love
them, and love, they tell me, is a dance of hearts.

How blest are shepherds, how happy their

employing, all the night on our flutes and in enjoying.
Chorus
How blest are shepherds, how happy their lasses...
One Shepherd
Bright nymphs of Britain with graces
attended,
Let not your days without pleasure expire. Honour's but empty, and when youth is

repenting.

Shepherd, shepherd, leave decoying: Pipes are sweet on summer's day, But a little after toying, Women have the shot to pay. Here are marriage-vows for signing: Set their marks that cannot write, after that, without repining, Play, and welcome, day and night.

Come, shepherds, lead up a lively measure; The cares of wedlock are cares of pleasure: But whether marriage bring joy or sorrow, Make sure of this day and hang tomorrow.

He (Matilda)
We are lost, where are we
She (Emmeline)
What sounds are those 'Tis Oswald and his
men. Let them not see your voices.
He {Oswald)
Yes, 'tis Oswald. Arthur stole you from me,
and now I shall steal you back.
She (Emmeline)
A rape, a rape!
He (Oswald)
You wrong me. Though I may seize you, yet your honour shall be sacred.
She (Emmeline)
O, help me, Britons, help me. Arthur, save me!
He (Narrator)
And Arthur returns but he can do
nothing. He challenges Oswald to a fight to the death,
but the cowardly Saxon refuses.
She (Narrator)
Blind Emmeline is born away...a hostage to
fortune.
He (Narrator)
And Arthur remains alone, in dread at
what his rival and his magicians will do next.
No. 19 SECOND ACTTUNE
ACT III
The Britons try to save Emmeline by force, but are the victims of Osmond's magic spells. Merlin appears. He has not yet understood the nature of the spells cast by Osmond. All he can do for the moment is to cross the magic forest in order to go to Emmeline and cure her of her blindness. Arthur wants to accompany him: he wants to be the first thing Emmeline sees. In the meantime, in the forest, Philidel succeeds in immobilizing Grimbald: Merlin and Arthur arrive, and the spirit leads the king towards Emmeline, to whom he restores the power of sight. However, Philidel and Arthur are unable to free Emmeline and, at Osmond's arrival, they beat a retreat. Osmond, who has imprisoned Oswald, tries to force his affections on Emmeline who, distraught at the sight of him, is frozen with terror; he tries, in vain, to win her favors by showing her a "mask" representing the power of love in thawing the hearts of an icy people. The set evokes a winter landscape in a frozen land.
She (Confidente)
Where is Emmeline hidden
He (Narrator) On a steep hill.
, She {Confidente) How is she guarded
He {Narrator)
By a living forest, wild winds, howling wolves
and roaring bears.
She (Confidente)
Anything else
He (Narrator)
Yes, hissing hail and fire.
She (Confident)
And
He (Narrator) Snakes.
She (Confident)
So what is Arthur forced to do
He (Narrator) Retreat.
She (Confident)
But surely he has great Merlin on his side
He (Narrator) Ah yes, so he has.
She (Confident)
And what is his advice
He (Narrator)
He has a spirit in his power ...
She (Confident) Philidel
He (Narrator) Exactly.
She (Confident)
But what of Emmeline
He (Narrator) What of her
She (Confident)
How can she be rescued if she cannot see
He (Narrator)
Merlin has a potion which will restore her sight.
She (Confident)
Hmm .. .Why didn't he mention that before
He (Narrator)
Look, what are all these questions
She (Confident)
Sorry, I.. .just wondered.. .no need to bite my
head off.
He (Narrator)
So. Philidel sets off to rescue Emmeline.
On the way, she encounters the vile
misshapen
Grimbald, with whom she tussles. She soon ouwits him however and binds him up in chains. Merlin, her master, is hugely impressed.
He (Merlin)
"Well hast thou wrought thy Safety with
thy Wit,
My Philidel, go Meritorious on. Me, other Work requires, to view the Wood, and learn to make the wild enchantments
void.
Show King Arthur his Love, and with these Sovereign Drops restore her sight."
(She plays Philidel)
He (Narrator)
So Arthur watches as his beloved's sight is
restored.
A difficult moment for any man.
What will she think First thing
Emmeline sees is Matilda, her waiting gentlewoman.
She (Emmeline)
Are women such as thou Such glorious
creatures...
What is that above that weakens my new
eyes, makes me not see, by seeing
He (Matilda)
That is the sun.
She (Emmeline)
The sun...Why dost thou not Matilda,
gaze like me and wonder
He (Matilda)
To me, the whole world may be a wonder,
but to my eyes it's familiar.
She (Emmeline)
Am I still blind Or do I see but half
With all my care, and looking round
about, I do not see my face.
He {Matilda)
In this glass you may...
She (Emmeline)
What, am I two Is this another me O, look, Matilda, now we are both in the glass...
He (Narrator, Arthur)
And Arthur appears in the glass behind them.
She (Emmeline)
This new face is neither mine nor yours. I think the glass has borne another child! Is it...a man Oh, my dearest Lord, counterpart to our soft sex. Well, are you
made
so bold, so great, so godlike are you formed. How can you love such silly things as women
He (Narrator)
But this idyll is interrupted unfortunately
by the arrival of the increasingly tiresome
Philidel, who
has brought a troupe of airy spirits to ravish Emmeline's new found sight.
No. 41 SOPRANO & BASS
She
You say, 'tis Love creates the pain
Of which so sadly you complain,
and yet would fain engage my heart
In that uneasy cruel part;
But how, alas! think you that I
Can bear the wounds of which you die
He
'Tis not my passion makes my care, But your indifference gives despair: The lusty sun begets no spring Till gentle show'rs assistance bring; So Love, that scorches and destroys, Till kindness aids can cause no joys.
She
Love has a thousand ways to please, But more to rob us of our ease; For waking nights and careful days, Some hours of pleasure he repays; But absence soon, or jealous fears, O'erflows the joy with floods of tears.
He
But one soft moment makes amends For all the torments that attends.
She & He
Let us love and to happiness haste. Age and wisdom come too fast. Youth for loving was design'd.
She
You be constant, I'll be kind.
He
I'll be constant, you be kind.
She & He
Heav'n can give no greater blessing Than faithful love and kind possessing.
She (Arthur)
Break off thy music, for our enemies are near.
He (Narrator)
Indeed they are.
Osmond, Osmond, the evil magician is
swathed to
the Saxon Oswald, and bearing a confusingly similar name. She has heard his voice before, whispering
filth at
her, making her glad she was blind, but
now she sees him for the first time. He grabs her...
She (Emmeline)
Matilda, save me from this ugly thing. It cannot be a man, he's so unlike the man I love.
He (Osmond)
But not all men are equally beautiful.
She (Emmeline)
"Tell me your name and your business here."
He (Osmond)
"My name is Osmond, and my business,
love. Be woman, know your sex and love full
pleasures. Come, you must love or you must suffer
love.
No coyness, none, for I am master here. But love reigns everywhere, even in a
world of ice, as I will prove. I'll show Love's force in Countries cak'd
with Ice, Where the pale Pole-Star in the North of
Heav'n
Sits high, and on the frosty Winter broods; For proof, this Magic Wand Shall turn the Mildness of sweet Britain's
Clime
To Iceland and the farthest arctic's Frost. Where the Proud God Cupid, disdaining
Winter's Bounds,
O'er-leaps the Fences of Eternal Snow, and with his Warmth, supplies the distant
Sun."
She (Narrator)
and he strikes the Ground with his Wand. The Scene changes to an endless frozen waste... ice
and snow...tower in zigzag crags and
stretch to infinity. Cupid descends to wake the genius of the
place...
and his cold people... frozen and buried for a thousand, thousand
years.

The Britons finally succeed in taking Oswald's castle. Osmond frees Oswald so that he can fight a duel with King Arthur, who emerges the winner. Arthur and Emmeline are now reunited, and Osmond is thrown into a dungeon. As for Oswald, he is invited to join the Britons to watch a "mask" conjured up by Merlin and intended to celebrate "the wealth, love, and glory" which will be theirs when Saxons and Britons join to form a single people. There is then a storm over the British ocean. Aeolus, who is perched on a cloud, sings. The scene is now a calm sea an island rises up bearing Britannia enthroned, fisherman at her feet. There is a celebration of Britain's natural resources: its fish, its sheep, and its crops. Venus then enters, followed by a couple of young lovers.

King Arthur
Henry Purcell
Born 1659 in London, England Died November 21, 1695 in Dean's Yard, Westminster
In its provision for music, King Arthur stands midway between Dioclesian, first produced a year earlier, and The Fairy Queen, a year later. For all its unprecedented full-orchestral opulence, Dioclesian was evidently designed with half an eye to economy, for there is no music at all in the first of its five acts and very little in the third and fourth. In contrast, when The Fairy Queen was being planned money was evidently no object (a fact that later brought the theatre company to financial shipwreck), for each of its five acts contains a sumptuous musical masque. In King Arthur only the fourth act is musically lightweight, although it may have been planned to contain even less music, until the production team were forced to find a place in it for a lengthy number displaced from Act III.
An operatic performance in Purcell's day would have begun with the First and Second Music, played while the audience took their seats and settled down. Unfortunately, the manuscript sources of King Arthur are so chaotic that we cannot be sure which of its surviving instrumental numbers Purcell intended for this function; the orchestral "Chaconne" and the d-minor "Overture" are both regularly pressed into service, but the former should almost cer?tainly be the "Grand Dance" at the end of the opera, while the "Overture" should fol?low the second music. The D-Major over?ture -unconnected with King Arthur, and imported during the eighteenth century from one of Purcell's odes -clouds the pic?ture further.
No such confusions attend the music in the Act I of the drama. But it is not free of
problems, chief among which is that its nature has been widely misunderstood. It begins with a sacrifice scene, with the Saxons, led by Oswald, summoning the aid of their heathen gods as they face battle with King Arthur's Britons; after this the Saxon warriors are called to Woden's hall -a number invariably treated in performance as a jolly carousal. But this was not what Dryden intended. He had taken pains to study Norse mythology and ensure that the details of the whole scene were authentic; and in this context Woden's hall is, of

course, Valhalla. Far from carousing before battle, the warriors in the first act of King Arthur are being enjoined to be willing to die in battle. Purcell evidently understood this, for he prefaced this clarion call with a solemn chorus recalling the style of his music for the Anglican church -his cus?tomary means of conditioning the response of his theatre audience to scenes of ritual even if it were pagan. Here, however, the sacrifice proves to be vain, and Woden's hall indeed awaits the Saxon warriors, for after battle music has been heard, complete with battlefield instruments: trumpets and oboes; the act ends with a chorus of victory for the Britons.
Act II contains two sharply contrasted musical scenes. In the first of them, groups of good and evil spirits, headed respectively by Philidel and Grimbald, compete to guide or mislead Arthur's forces as they stand benighted in a perilous marshland. Purcell's
musical treatment is obvious yet ingenious: an antiphonal chorus, with the spirits beck?oning from either side of the stage and echoing each other's phrases. After a gruff solo for Grimbald, who almost succeeds in his fell purpose, a shortened repeat of the chorus retrieves the situation in the nick of time. Finally there is a chorus for the good spirits alone, their sweet vocal lines follow-
In Act V, the powers of evil are finally defeated by Arthur himself in single combat with Oswald; and the opera ends with a sumptuous masque of celebration, magically summoned up by Merlin.
ing each other in close imitation as the Britons duly follow Philidel to safety.
Meanwhile Arthur's betrothed, Emmeline, and her attendant Matilda, are being entertained with song and dance by shepherds and their lasses. The scene begins with one of Purcell's most graceful melodies -the instantly memorable "How blest are shepherds," which must surely have stopped the show on its first few nights. It continues with a perky duet, "Shepherds, leave decoy?ing," introduced by a little sinfonia for oboes and recorders (the latter possessing not only rustic associations for a seventeenth-century audience but also strongly sexual ones, as the shepherdesses make clear!). Finally all join in a lively song-and-dance routine; but the country folk have scarcely left the stage when Oswald stumbles upon the now unde?fended Emmeline and abducts her.
As Act III unfolds it becomes clear that both Oswald and also the evil spirit Osmond -Grimbald's principal -have designs on the chastity of Emmeline. When neither makes any progress, Osmonds casts Oswald into a magical prison, and calls on the black powers of wizardry in pursuit of
his own scheme for her seduction. His con?fident assertion that even a frozen virgin can be thawed by love forms the rather flimsy dramatic pretext for one of the most spec?tacular pieces of musical scene-painting in the whole of Purcell's output: the Frost Scene. It owes its effect partly to the arrest?ing declamatory writing for Cupid, partly to the famous "shiverings," heard in the
orchestral accompaniment of the Cold Genius and the Cold People, and -even more graphically -in the choral parts sung by the latter.
Exactly how those "shiverings" should be executed, however, is problematical; and the scene presents other difficulties besides. First, every published edition of the opera has taken the time-signatures of this scene from manuscripts of relatively late date; and these, unlike those of the earliest sources, are inconsistent -with the result that one or another of the "shivering" passages them?selves is nearly always taken at half speed! Almost equally disturbing is that the move?ment obviously intended to conclude the scene, a lively triple-time dance number with sixteen balanced strains, has somehow become detached from its planned context; it has been pressed into service instead as an implausible and redundant prelude (in the wrong key, incidentally) to the Chorus of Cold People, whom Cupid summons up before thawing them to impress Emmeline. Despite these problems, the Frost Scene quickly became, and still remains, one of the most popular in Purcell's operatic output.
Emmeline, however, is unmoved as it unfolds before her on stage: when Cupid and the Cold Genius, in a languid duet, urge her to surrender herself to love, she main?tains an icy reserve in the face of Osmond's unwelcome advances.
Act IV depicts the temptation of Arthur by a fresh set of illusions. This time it is not trackless bogs that would ensnare him, but seemingly fair women. Two sirens rise -naked to the waist according to the original stage directions -and, in a sensuous duet, tempt him to join them. Nymphs and syl-vans enter to add their persuasions in a long passacaglia, containing passages for orches?tra, solo voices in various combinations, and full chorus. (This is the number apparently designed for inclusion in the early part of Act III, until displaced from it by the com?peting production demands of the Frost Scene). Yet even these bewitching sprites, singing some of Purcell's most seductive music, cannot prevail against Arthur's deter?mination to find and rescue Emmeline.
In Act V, the powers of evil are finally defeated by Arthur himself in single combat with Oswald (whom he magnanimously spares); and the opera ends with a sumptu?ous masque of celebration, magically sum?moned up by Merlin. After a consort of martial music, Aeolus appears and, in a magnificent solo accompanied in turn by scurrying violins and soft recorders, silences the sea winds and calls on Britannia's Isle to rise from the waves. It does so -the creaks of stage machinery covered by a symphony with a rippling top line for solo trumpet -and the surrounding waters are hymned in a stately duet for Nereid and Pan, "Round thy coast," which the chorus repeats.
Then the staple produce of the island -wool -is hailed in "For folded flocks," a gentle male-voice trio strongly reminiscent of those in Purcell's anthems. This is a sly piece of irony. For what follows -"Your hay it is mowed," a bucolic solo for Comus
and a chorus for his tipsy revelers -is not merely an uproarious celebration of har?vest-home but also a complaint at the sys?tem of tithes, the Church's one-tenth levy on the produce. Dryden, a Catholic and as such disadvantaged now under William and Mary, no doubt enjoyed slipping those lines into the song text.
One of the most dazzlingly beautiful melodies Purcell ever created follows. The song "Fairest Isle" is sung by Venus, in token of a linkage, time-honoured in English liter?ature, between Britannia's Isle and the Goddess of Love. This exquisite number provides the cue for a lengthy duet, "You say 'tis love," which is not connected with King Arthur and was probably imported bodily -complete with its text, which, as Dryden was careful to indicate when he published the text of the opera, was not his work. The function of this number was probably to gain time while the singers and dancers changed costumes for the final sequence.
The final sequence consists of four movements: another martial consort; a solo sung by Honour in homage to St. George, patron of the island; and a concluding cho?rus and grand dance. Two major textual dif?ficulties immediately present themselves. The solo for Honour, a rousing trumpet air, is patently corrupt, with a shapeless bass line and a highly suspect part for a second trumpet. It has been suggested that the movement must be the work of someone other than Purcell; but he would surely have set so crucial a portion of the text, whilst even an incompetent minor composer would hardly have produced such palpable nonsense. The ghost of a logical structure can, however, be descried in the music; the present writer has accordingly reconstructed it as a ground-bass air with trumpet obbliga-to -a formula which Purcell used in sever?al other works, including Diocksian and The Fairy Queen. The second problem is that the final Grand Dance is missing in all the man-
uscripts; it was almost certainly the great orchestral chaconne which rounded off the show, but many conductors choose to end with the richly-scored chorus "Our natives not alone appear"-sending the audience home, at the end of this gloriously varied opera, with yet another of Purcell's sturdy melodies ringing in their ears.

A Note on the Staging
by Ana Yepes
Purcell's semi-opera King Arthur is a fine example of lyric art in Great Britain in the seventeenth century. This was not made up of one distinct discipline but took the shape of a much wider theatrical event encompass?ing both words and music. The musical parts would often take the form of interludes or "masques" inserted into an entirely separate piece of theatre. It was quite usual, as in the case of King Arthur, for the leading charac?ters have only speaking parts and play no part in the sung parts of the work. The singing characters serve to prolong the the?atrical action while mingling with the non-singing characters. Only two of the central characters in King Arthur, the good and bad spirits Philidel and Grimbald, have singing roles, a fact which serves to emphasize their supernatural status.
Two comic actors, one male and one female, tell the story. In addition to their roles as narrators, they also play the parts of the different leading characters: Arthur, Emmeline, Oswald, Matilda, Philidel, Merlin, Grimbald and Osmond. The singers and dancers sing and dance various characters in the musical parts of the performance. In this way, King Arthur might be played, at various points in the entertainment, by a comedian, a dancer or a singer.
Born in 1944 in Buffalo, NY, William Christie began his musical studies with his moth?er, and went on the study the piano, organ and harpsichord, notably with Ralph Kirkpatrick, who encouraged him in his predisposition for French music. After graduating from Harvard and Yale, he settled in France in 1971 and made his first recording for the ORTF, working in close collaboration with Genevieve Thibault de Chambure. He then continued his harpsichord studies with Kenneth Gilbert and David Fuller and has given recitals in all principal European festi?vals. Between 1971 and 1975, he worked with the Five Centuries Ensemble, an experimental group devoted to ancient and contemporary music, and took part in numerous first performances of works by composers such as L. Berio, S. Bussotti, M. Feldman, and L. de Pablo. In 1976 he joined Rene Jacobs's Concerto Vocale, with whom he played the piano and the organ until 1980.
In 1979 he founded Les Arts Florissants and rapidly began exploring French, Italian and English music of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; this unusual ensemble that could perform equally well in small groups as well as with soloists, choir, and orchestra, whether in sacred or dramatic works, gave him the opportunity to con?tribute greatly to the renaissance of interest in vocal techniques of the same period.
Also interested in the theatre and French declamation, William Christie soon began directing a number of French opera tragedies with Les Arts Florissants. He scored some of his finest successes with the help of stage directors who included Jean-Marie Villegier, Robert Carsen, Alfredo Arias, Jorge Lavelli, Adrian Noble, Pier-Luigi Pizzi, and Pierre Barrat, while among his choreographers were Francine Lancelot, Beatrice Massin, Ana Yepes, Shirley Wynne,
Maguy Marin, and Francois Raffinot.
In 1982, he became the first American professor at the Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique de Paris where he directed the early music course. This regu?larly involved him in a number of important student productions, often in collaboration with other prestigious teaching establishments such as the Royal Conservatory of The Hague, the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and the Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique de Lyon.
William Christie played a large part in the rediscovery of the work of Marc-Antoine Charpentier, whose music features on many of his recordings. He has conduct?ed the operas Medee and David & Jonathas, as well as the interludes from the Malade Imaginaire by MoliereCharpentier. His attraction to the music of Jean-Philippe Rameau led him to record all the harpsi?chord works by this composer. He has also conducted Anacreon, Les Indes Galantes, Pygmalion, Nelee & Myrthis, Castor & Pollux, and Les Grands Motets.
Les Arts Florissants' recordings (some forty titles on the Harmonia Mundi label) have been distinguished by numerous prizes. At the beginning of 1994, William
Christie signed an exclusive contract with EratoWarner Classics. The latest recording is Mozart's Mass in C.
He is regularly invited to conduct other orchestras (including the Paris, Lyon, London, Geneva, Boston, and San Francisco orchestras). In 1998 William Christie made his second appearance at Glyndebourne in a new production of Handel's Rodelinda with Jean-Marie Villegier.
William Christie loves the French art de vivre and is fond of French gastronomy and gardens.
In January 1993, William Christie was awarded the prestigious French Legion d'Honneur and is now a French citizen. In 1997 he was awarded the "Prix Grand Siecle Laurent Perrier" for services to French music.
Tonight's performance marks William Christie's second appearance under UMS auspices.
The vocal and instrumental ensemble Les Arts Florissants was founded by William Christie in 1979 in Paris, three centuries after the creation of the work by Marc-Antoine Charpentier from which it takes its name. From the out?set, the group has devoted itself to research into seventeenthand eighteenth-century music, their repertoire being composed to a large extent of unedited works, most notably those of the Bibliotheque Nationale de France in Paris (Charpentier, Campra, Monteclair, Mouline, Lambert, Bouzignac, Rossi, etc.).
Les Arts Florissants have also particu?larly earned recognition for their interpreta?tions of operas, notably at the Opera du Rhin with Purcell's Dido and yEneas, Monteverdi's Ballo delle Ingrate (1983), Rameau's Anacreon and Charpentier's Action (1985) staged by Pierre Barrat.
The production of Lully's Atys, staged by Jean-Marie Villegier, was voted best opera by French critics in 1987 and was per?formed at the Opera Comique in Paris, in Caen, Montpellier, Versailles, Florence, New York, and Madrid in 1987,1989 and 1992 to rave reviews. Jean-Marie Villegier has also staged Le Malade Imaginaire by MoliereCharpentier (co-production Theatre du Chatelet, Theatre de Caen, Opera de Montpellier 1990), La Fee Urgele by DuniFavart (directed by Christophe Rousset, Opera Comique 1991) and Charpentier's Medee (co-production Opera Comique, Theatre de Caen, Opera du Rhin 1993, also performed in Lisbon and New York in 1994) and Rameau's Hippolyte & Aricie (co-production Opera National de Paris, Opera de Nice, Opera de Montpellier,
Theatre de Caen, Brooklyn Academy of Music 1996).
Les Arts Florissants are also regularly invited by the Aix-en-Provence Festival, for productions such as Purcell's Fairy Queen (staged by A. Noble, 1989, Grand Prix de la Critique), Rameau's Indes Galantes (staged by A. Arias, 1990, also performed in Caen, Montpellier, Lyon and Paris), Rameau's Castor & Pollux (staged by P. L. Pizzi, 1991), Handel's Orlando (staged by R. Carsen, co-production Theatre des Champs-FJysees, Opera de Montpellier, 1993), Mozart's Magic Flute in 1994 and 1995 (staged by R. Carsen) and Handel's Setnele in 1996 (staged by Robert Carsen).
Since 1989, the Brooklyn Academy of Music has invited Les Arts Florissants for both staged productions (Atys in 1989 and
1992, Medee in 1994, Orlando in 1996, Hippolyte etAricie in 1997) and concerts.
Les Arts Florissants have made over forty recordings on the Harmonia Mundi label, many of which have won prestigious international prizes. At the beginning of 1994, Les Arts Florissants signed an exclu?sive contract with EratoWarner Classics. Their latest recording is Mozart's Mass in C. Rameau's Grands Motets and Purcell's King Arthur have won the 1995 Gramophone Awards, respectively in the category "Baroque Vocal" and "Early Opera."
Future tours in 19992000 will take the ensemble to Great Britain, the US, Luxemburg, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, Norway and Austria.
Tonight's performance marks Les Arts Florissants' second appearance under UMS auspices.
Les Fragments Reunis is an ensemble founded by five dancer-choreographers: Francoise Denieau, Marc Leclerq, Nick Nguyen, Natalie van Parys and Ana Yepes, all of whom share several years' experience working in Francine Lancelot's baroque dance company, Ris et Danceries. The goal of the ensemble is to ensure the continuity of this genre, and to provide a means for exploration of the baroque repertoire in various fields such as choreography, perfor?mance, education and research.
Since its creation, Les Fragments Reunis has collaborated on a number of produc?tions with William Christie and Les Arts Florrisants, including Hippolyte etAricie by Rameau, choreographed by Ana Yepes and directed by Jean-Marie Ville'gier, which was performed at the Paris Opera then taken on tour to other French cities and the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York, Les Pelerins de la Mecque by Gluck, Purcell's King Arthur, Charpentier's La Descente d'Orphee

Hail Catherine, form of Christ's holiness,

The leader of the ordeal is summoned;
believers in Christ are burned,
their pallor is displayed to the faithful,
named among the steadfast in heaven;
in prison they enclose

The merciful gather at the bars,
they shun the thriving life.
The virgin bids the people prosper,
and conquering her vigorous life
she demands to be rewarded with the ordeal.

Kanon Pokajanen (excerpts) Arvo Part
Kondakion
O my soul, how dost thou become rich in sins Why dost thou the will of the devil In what dost thou set thy hope Cease from these things and turn to God with weeping and cry out: O kind hearted Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner.
Ikos
Think, my soul, of the bitter hour of death and the judgement day of the God and Creator. For terrible angels will seize thee, my soul, and will lead thee into the eternal fire. And so before thy death, repent and cry: O lord have mercy on me, a sinner.
Ode VII
An angel made the furnace sprinkle dew on the righteous youths.
But the command of God consumed the Chaldeans and prevailed upon the
tyrant to cry: Blessed art thou, O God of our Fathers.
Have mercy, O God, have mercy on me.
Put not thy hope, my soul, in corruptible wealth, and for what is unjustly collected. For thou dost not know to whom thou wilt leave it all. But cry: O Christ our God, have mercy on me who am unworthy. Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me.
Trust not, my soul, in swiftly-passing beauty. For thou seest that the strong and the young die. But cry aloud: O Christ our God, have mercy on me, who am unworthy.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. Remember my soul, eternal life and the heavenly kingdom prepared for the saints, and the outer darkness and the wrath of God for the evil, and cry: O Christ our God, have mercy on me who am unworthy.
Both now and forever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen. Fall down, my soul, before the Mother of God, and pray to her; for she is the quick helper of those that repent. She entreateth the Son, Christ God, and hath mercy on me who am unworthy.
Therefore I cry: grant me, O Lord, repentance before the end. Both now and forever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
O most pure Theotokos, accept mine own unworthy prayer and preserve me from sudden death; and grant me repentance before the end.

O quanta qualia sunt ilia sabbata quae semper celebrat sipema curia quae fessis requies, quae merces fortibus, cum erit omnia deus in omnibus.
Vera Jerusalem est ilia civitas cuius pax jugis est sunima iucunditas: ubi non praevenit rem desiderium nee desiderio minus est praemium.
Quis rex quis curia quale palatium quae pax quae requies quod illud gaudium, huius participes exponant gloriae si quantum sentiunt possint exprimere.
How mighty and great
are those sabbaths,
which the celestial court
celebrates eternally,
which are the rest of the weary,
the reward of the strong,
when God will be
all things in all things.
The true Jerusalem will be that city whose peace is perpetual -the most exalted joy where none now await that longed-for state, nor is the prize unworthy of the desire.
What king, what court, what kind of palace, what peace, what rest -what joy is this whose celebrants show forth in glory, when they wish to express how much they feel.
Illic ex Sabbato succedit Sabbatum perpes laetitia sabbatizantium. Nee ineffabilis cessabunt jubili quos decantabimus et nos et angeli.
Perenni Domino perpes sit gloria ex quo sunt per quem sunt in quo sunt omnia. Ex quo sunt Pater est per quem sunt Filius in quo sunt Patris et Filii Spiritus.
There Sabbath
succeeds Sabbath -
perpetual joy
created by the Sabbaths.
And that inextinguishable rapture
will not cease
of which the angels
and we will sing.
Eternal Lord,
may your glory be everlasting

and in whom all things have their being.
From whom the Father is,
through whom the Son is,
in whom the Spirit is,

Communion Hymn for Mid-Pentecost
John Plousiadenos
O eorakos erne eorake ton patera,

He who has seen me has seen the Father,
and he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells in me
and I in him, says the Lord.
Canon for the Council of Florence
Plousiadenos
Tin sevasmion taftin ke agian synodon

ke tas eklisias dierigmenas aniatos en enosi aftas katefthynasan.
We faithfully celebrate this honourable
and holy synod, devoutly gathered in the Spirit in
Florence, which has set aright in unity the incurably
separated churches.
I foni to Sotiros atithos peplirote, ipate
fisasi iero to Petro: Epistrepsas stirixis is enosin su tus adeifus

The voice of the Saviour is fulfilled, which
once spoke divinely to Peter: Return, support your brethren in your
unity. For I prayed, O Peter, in order that your
faith may never disappear.
Now the Bishop of Rome is protector:
the famous Eugenius gathered
everyone in Florence, confirming the faith unshaken, supporting
and directing all towards it, thereby fulfilling the promise of the
Saviour.
Gathering in faith, we bless you, the all-blameless Virgin, who once inexplicably joined what
was separated through your holy offspring,
now auspiciously introduces peace to the churches.
Funeral Ikos
John Tavener
(Text from the Order for the Burial of Dead Priests)
Why these bitter words of the dying, O brethren, which they utter as they go hence I am parted from my brethren. All my friends do I abandon, and go hence. But whither I go, that understand I not, neither what shall become of me yonder; only God, who hath summoned me knoweth. But make commemoration of me with the song: Alleluia.
But whither now go the souls How dwell they now together there This
mystery have I desired to learn, but none can impart aright. Do they call
to mind their own people, as we do them
Or have they forgotten all those who mourn them and make the song:
Alleluia
We go forth on the path eternal, and as condemned, with down cast faces,
present ourselves before the only God eternal. Where then is comeliness
Where then is wealth Where then is the glory of this world
There none of these things shall aid us, but only saying often the psalm:
Alleluia.
If thou hast shown mercy unto man, O man, that same mercy shall be shown thee there; and if on an orphan thou hast shown compassion, the same shall there deliver thee from want. If in this life thou hast clothed the naked, the same shall give thee shelter there, and sing the psalm: Alleluia.
Youth and beauty of the body fade at the hour of death, and the tongue then burneth fiercely, and the parched throat is inflamed. The beauty of the eyes is quenched then, the comeliness of the face all altered, the shapeliness of the neck destroyed; and the other parts become numb, if they did
not often say: Alleluia.
With ecstasy are we inflamed if we but hear that there is light eternal
yonder; that there is Paradise, wherein every soul of Righteous Ones
rejoiceth. Let us all also enter into Christ, that we all may cry aloud thus unto God:
Alleluia.
Lamentatio Sanctae Matris Ecclesiae Constantinopolae
Guillaume Dufay
Omnes amici eius spreverunt eam.
Non est qui consoletur eam ex omnibus caris eius.
O tres piteux, de tout espoir fontaine, Pere du fils dont suis mere esplore'e, Plaindre me viens a ta court souveraine,
De ta puissance et
de ta nature humaine,
Qui ont souffert telle dure villaine
Faire amon fils, qui tant m'a honored
Dont suis de bien et de joye se'pare'e, Sans que vivant veulle entendre mes
plains. A toy, seul Dieu, du forfait me complains,
All her friends have dealt treacherously
with her. Among all her lovers she hath none to
comfort her.
0 most piteous one, fountain of all hope, father of the son whose tearful mother I am,
1 come to lay my complaint before your
sovereign court,
in that your power and nature as a man
have allowed such grievous harm to be done to my son, who has so much honored me.
Now I am bereft of goodness and joy without any living being willing to hear
my lamentations. To you, the only God, of the heinous
crime I complain,
Du gref tourment et douloureux outrage,
Que voy souffrir au plus bel des humains Sans nul confort de tout humain lignage.
of the grievous torment and sorrowful
outrage
which I see the most noble of men suffer and receive no comfort from any human
being.
Nuper rosarum floras
Dufay
Nuper rosarum flores ex dono pontificis hieme licet horrida, tibi virgo coelica pie et sancte deditum grandis templum machinae condecorarunt perpetim;
hodie vicarius Jesu Christi et Petri successor Eugenius hoc idem amplissimum sacris templum manibus sanctisque liquoribus consecrare dignatus est.
Igitur alme parens nati tui filia virgo decus virginum tuus et Florentiae devotus orat populus ut qui mente et corpore mundo quicquam exorarit
oratione tua cruciatus et meritis tui secundum carnem nati, Domini sui, grata benficia veniamque reatum accipere mereatur.
Terribilis est locus iste.
Lately roses have not ceased
by the Pontiff's gift,
(albeit in shivering
winter) to decorate the temple,
majestic in its engineering -
dedicated to you, heavenly Virgin,
in piety and holiness;
today Eugene, vicar of Jesus Christ and successor of Peter, has deigned to consecrate this same vast temple with his sacred hands and with holy water.
Therefore, kindly mother and daughter of your Son, Virgin the glory of virgins, your people at Florence devoutly pray
that whoever begs for a thing with a pure mind and body
may by your prayer
and the worthy torment
of your Son in the flesh,
his Lord,
be found worthy
to receive welcome favors
and foregiveness for his sins.
Awesome is this place.

Twentieth Performance of the 121st Season
Fifth Annual Divine Expressions Series
The photographing or sound recording of this concert or possession of any device for such photographing or sound recording is prohibited.
This performance is presented with the generous support of Robert and Pearson Macek.
Theatre of Voices is represented exclusively in North America by California Artists Management.
Large print programs are available upon request.
Fragments
The title of this program refers both to the fragmented survival of the distant musical past in manuscript collections often in incomplete or damaged condi?tion, and to the fragmentation of Christianity into Eastern Orthodox and Western Catholic and their respective musical traditions. The program itself could also be called a collec?tion of fragments woven together by certain recurrent ideas. The program does not attempt to convey a message, however. Rather, it is an abstract mosaic in which certain colors or themes are allowed to dominate. In the process, new kinds of musical relationships are opened up by allowing Abelard to suggest Cage, Worcester to lead to Constantinople and Venice to reflect Part.
The program begins with a selection of fourteenth-century English music from the Worcester Fragments and Fountains Fragments -anonymous pieces for three voices, which display the typical early English delight in rich sonorities. This music prepares the way for John Dunstable (d. 1453), one of England's greatest com?posers, who is represented here by a four-voice isorhythmic motet in honor of St. Katherine, Salve scema sanctitatis. This is followed by two motets of Johannes Ciconia, one in praise of Venice, and one of Padua. Ciconia (d. 1412) was born in Flanders, but spent the greater part of his creative life in Italy. The first part of the program then concludes with a selection of music for the Orthodox liturgy, ranging from early pieces for three voices based on {znamennyi) chant but with a surprisingly modern harmonic sound, to new pieces by composers such as Arvo Part (including a movement from his recent Kanon Pokajanen), and Kamil Tchalaev, a younger Russian composer residing in Paris.
The second part of the concert begins with an unusual trilogy: first, John Cage's
Antiphonies, sounding as much medieval as modern; then a twelfth-century hymn by Peter Abelard, O quanta qualia; concluding with one of the masterpieces of Gothic music, Perotin's organum Benedicamus Domino. The program then returns to the Orthodox rite, but this time to Greece. We hear first two works by John Plousiadenos (c. 1429-1500), a Communion Hymn sung by two voices over a drone and a monophonic Canon for the Council of Florence; this is followed by Funeral Ikos by the English composer John Tavener (b. 1942). The program ends with two commemorative motets by the great Burgundian composer, Guillaume Dufay (d. 1474), who like Ciconia also spent a signifi?cant portion of his working life in Italy. We hear first a motet written as a lament on the Fall of Constantinople to the Turks in 1453; and then, Nuper rosarum flores, composed for the dedication of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence in 1436.
Arvo Part's Katwn Pokajanen will be performed in its entirety by the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir on Sunday, February 13, 2000 at 8:00pm.
Salve mater
This motet combines four separate texts in praise of the Virgin Mary, and is based on a chant which is carried in the lowest voice.
Beata viscera
Beata viscera is based on the Communion chant which is heard in an ornamented ver?sion in the lowest voice.
Alleluia psallat
A joyful piece nicely illustrating the tech?nique known as "voice exchange" between the three voices.
Sanctus & Agnus Dei
These two mass movements are taken from a manuscript once belonging to Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire a Cistercian monastery whose church, once one of the most beautiful buildings in England, is now a picturesque ruin.
Salve scema sanctitatis
Two alliterative texts in honor of St. Catherine are combined over a slower moving pair of lower voices.
Venecie mundoMichael qui stena This motet honors Venice and its Doge, Michele Steno. Padua was conquered by Venice in 1405 and Margaret Bent (in her edition of the collected works of Ciconia -Monaco, 1985) suggests that the work might have been written for the occasion on January 3, 1406, when Zabarella (Ciconia's patron) made formal submission on behalf of the Comune of Padua, to the Doge of Venice outside San Marco. Note that Ciconia places his own name at the end of the first text, in effect signing his work like a painter in the corner of a picture.
Ut te per omnesIngens alumnus Paduae This isorhythmic motet honors the compos?er's adopted city, and is addressed both to his patron Zabarella, Archbishop of Padua Cathedral, and to Zabarella's patron, St. Francis; the text intercedes for Zabarella as a great teacher and wise lawyer, and prays for the Franciscan order.
Blazhen muzh Bogoroditse dyevo The Cherubic Hymn
Kanon Pokajanen
This selection comprises part of section VI and all of section VII from Arvo Part's set?ting of the Canon of Repentance, a group of texts dating back to the eighth century. The composer has written about this work:
In this composition, as in many of my vocal works, I tried to use language as a point of departure. I wanted the word to be able to find its own sound, to draw its own melodic line. Somewhat to my surprise, the resulting music is entirely immersed in the particular character of Church Slavonic, a language used exclusively in ecclesiastical texts.
Antiphonies: ear for EAR This piece was composed in 1983 for the tenth anniversary of EAR: Magazine of New Music. The singers vocalize in a solo and response format on the letters 'e-a-r.'
O quanta qualia
Abelard composed a number of hymns (for Heloise's Paraclete) of which this is the only known example to have survived with music.
Benedicamus Domino
Though anonymous, this piece of extended three-voice organum is written very much in the style of Perotin, and has a mastery which suggests that it is indeed by this com?poser, who is regarded as one of the earliest significant composers of polyphony in the Western tradition.
Communion Hymn for Mid-Pentecost Canon for the Council of Florence The Council of Florence took place in 1439, when a small Byzantine delegation of bishops and theologians assented to Union with the Roman Catholic Church in return for military aid against the Ottoman Empire. The aid was never delivered, however, and public opposition prevented the promulgation of the union until 1452 -after which most Orthodox refused to attend services at St. Sophia. A year later, Constantinople was to fall to the Turks (see Lamentatio below). However, there remained a number of prominent Byzantine converts to the Catholic cause, among them the theorist and composer John Plousiadenos. Later consecrated bishop of Venetian-held Methone, Plousiadenos displayed his innate sympathies in a number of literary works including the canon in honor of the Council of Florence.
Funeral Ikos
Lamentatio Sanctae Matris Ecclesiae Constantinopolae
The only extant lament from a group of four that Dufay composed during 1455 on the fall of Constantinople.
Nuper rosarum flores Composed for the consecration IV of the Duomo in Florence by Pope Eugenius, which took place on March 25,1436, and first per?formed by the Papal Chapel (of which Dufay was then a member). This intricately con?structed yet beautifully sonorous motet is well suited to the building it honors and its famous cupola designed by Filippo Brunelleschi. The motet tenor is based on the chant for the dedication of churches Terribilis est locus iste -which is sung four times (by the lower two voices a fifth apart) in the rhythmic proportion 6:4:2:3. This was formerly thought to reflect the proportions of Brunelleschi's dome, but scholarly opinion now favors the idea that Dufay was thinking of the mystic numerological significance of Solomon's Temple. Both text and music are also domi?nated by the number seven and seven-times-four, which also relates further to Solomon.
Program notes by Paul Hillier.
Paul Hillier is the director of the Early Music Institute at Indiana University where he continues to research and develop new early music projects while also collaborating with a number of composers on special Theatre of Voices commissions. Oxford University Press publishes his book
on tstoman composer Arvo Part.
Tonight's perfor?mance marks Paul Hillier's debut under UMS auspices.
Theatre of Voices was created by Paul Hillier to explore the notion of a "theatre" where the scenery is the sound of voices and the action consists of words. Some of the vocal ensemble's reper?toire is experimental and obscure, while other music explores more familiar territo?ry, especially the crossroads between early and contemporary music. Theatre of Voices is flexible in design and seeks to utilize the talents of artists who are equally at home in the old and the new. Paul Hillier and Theatre of Voices record extensively for harmonia mundi.
One of North America's finest countertenors, Steven Rickards recently returned from tours of Australia and Germany with Joshua Rifkin's Bach Ensemble; he also specializes in the English lutesong repertoire.
Paul EJliott, famed for his work with early-music luminaries including David Munrow, Alfred Deller, and Christopher Hogwood, has dedicated the last decade to developing a new generation of early-music singers through his teaching at the Indiana University School of Music.
Repertoire of soprano Kirsten Blase-Heilman spans Monteverdi to Crumb, and includes both chamber music and opera. She has been a featured soloist in J.S. Bach's Passions, Handel's Messiah and Israel and Egypt, Mozart's Mass in c minor and the Requiem, and the Monteverdi Vespers. In opera, her roles include Despina, Adele, Galatea, the First Lady and Cherubino. Upcoming engagements include Brahms' Liebeslieder Waltzes, Bach's Trauer Ode and St. John Passion, and concerts with The Netherlands Bach Society in 2001.
Wolodymr Smishkewych is a young tenor currently living on the East Coast where he performs with the New York Ensemble for Early Music. An avid participant in ethnic and indigenous music, he performs with several chamber and folkloric ensembles both in the US and abroad.
Baritone Andrew Hendricks has performed a wide variety of music stretching from the Baroque era to the present day, including major works of Bach, Handel, Brahms, Wolf, Britten, George Crumb, and John Adams. His operatic work has included lead roles in operas by Mozart, Rossini, Debussy, Adams, and Bernstein.
Tonight's performance marks Theatre of Voices' debut under UMS auspices.

Paco de Lucia is one of the world's greatest guitarists, as well as one of the most innova?tive and influential flamenco artists of the last thirty years. Since the late 1960s his flamenco recordings have had a revolutionary impact, infusing new life into the art form and bringing it worldwide attention. His groundbreaking collaborations with jazz artists and his par?ticipation in notable soundtracks have brought him to the attention of a broad audience.
Paco de Lucia, one of the great innova?tors in contemporary flamenco, started rather traditionally. He was born Francisco Sanchez Gomez in Algeciras, a city in the province of Cadiz, in the southernmost tip of Spain, on December 21, 1947. (His stage name is an homage to his mother, Lucia Gomez.) His father, Antonio Sanchez, a day laborer, played guitar at night as a way to
supplement his income. His father, his elder brother Ramon de Algeciras, and flamenco master Nino Ricardo were De Lucia's main influences. De Lucia's first performance was on Radio Algeciras in 1958 when he was only eleven years old. His brothers Ramon and Pepe (a singer) are often part of Paco de Lucia's groups.
The training ground for a flamenco guitarist, de Lucia once said, "is the music around you, made by people you see, the people you make music with. You learn it from your family, from your friends, in la juerga (the party) drinking. And then you work on technique. Guitarists do not need to study. And, as it is with any music, the great ones will spend some time working with the young players who show special talent. You must understand that a Gypsy's life is a life of anarchy. This is one reason why the way of flamenco music is a way without discipline as you know it. We don't
try to organize things with our minds, we don't go to school to find out. We just live...music is everywhere in our lives."
In 1959, de Lucia was awarded a special prize in the Jerez flamenco competition. Starting at fourteen, he toured with the fla?menco troupe of fabled dancer Jose Greco for three seasons. While on tour with Greco's dance company in the US, de Lucia met the great Sabicas, a guitarist whose name had became synonymous with fla?menco in the US. "I was a child when I met him," recalls de Lucia. "He heard me play and basically said that for me to have a career I had to move away from imitation. I think he was annoyed with me because in those days there were two great schools of flamenco guitar: Nino Ricardo, who was the leader of my generation in Spain, and Sabicas, who was in the US. So I came to him playing in Nino Ricardo's style and I believe Sabicas got mad that I didn't play his music. But it was useful -it shocked me. It became a great impetus to go for my own style, my own thing."
De Lucia would follow Sabicas's advice. He recorded his first album, Los Chiquitos de Algeciras, with his brother Pepe, in 1961 at the age of fourteen. But by 1967, with the release of La Fabulosa Guitarra de Paco de Lucia, de Lucia began to distance himself from the influence of masters such as Ricardo and Mario Escudero. With the release of Fantasia Flamenca, two years later, he had defined his own style. His superb technique was showcased in well-designed pieces that departed from the flamenco tra?dition of theme and variations. In 1970, he made his debut at Carnegie Hall.
Flamenco die-hards have criticized de Lucia for his forays into other styles. His own sextet, organized in 1981, includes bass, drums, and saxophone. In addition to his work with McLaughlin and DiMeola, his high-profile collaborations include work with guitarist Larry Coryell, and pianist
Chick Corea, who joined Paco's sextet for Zyryab (1990). The stunning results of these collaborations have been documented in celebrated recordings with The Guitar Trio: Castro Marin (1979), Passion Grace and Fire (1982), and Friday Night in San Francisco (1981). In 1996 De Lucia, McLaughlin, and DiMeola reunited for The Guitar Trio on Verve and a sold-out tour.
Paco de Lucia has also recorded sound?tracks for films such as Carlos Saura's Carmen, Borau's La Sabina, and the ballet Los Tarantos, presented at Madrid's presti?gious Teatro de la Zarzuela in 1986. He was featured in Bryan Adams's 1995 hit single and video "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman" from the film Don Juan DeMarco. But periodically, de Lucia returns to pure flamenco with a vengeance as in the spec?tacular Siroco (1987).
"Within the tradition, the flamenco orthodoxy, I was not taken seriously at first," he says. "At some point I was thought of as sacrilegious and now it turns out I'm a mas?ter. Some thought I was just fooling around, and as it turns out my tomfoolery is much of today's flamenco."
He shrugs off the complaints of such purists or the concerns of those who fear he might lose his roots or, worse, betray the essence of flamenco. "I have never lost my roots in my music, because I would lose myself," he once said. "What I have tried to do is have a hand holding onto tradition and the other scratching and also digging in other places trying to find new things I can bring into flamenco."
Tonight's performance marks Paco de Lucia's fourth appearance under UMS auspices.

Book for Cello
Peteris Vasks
Born April 16, 1946 in Aizupute, Latvia
The music of Peteris Vasks -like that of Ustvolskaya, Kancheli, and Part -has found a remarkably large audience in the West after the collapse of the Soviet Union. As the former Soviet satellite states asserted their independence, the works of their native composers, so integrally connected with their respective folk cultures, struck Western listeners as deeply spiritual, honest, and free of much of the cultural angst that has plagued Western contemporary compo?sition for decades. Like his Eastern European colleagues, Vasks' music is spiritu?al in the broadest sense of the word. It explores humanity's relationship with its environments, both natural and social, physical and psychological. He has said, "To my mind, every honest composer searches for a way out of the crises of his time -towards affirmation, towards faith.. .and if I can find this way out, this reason for hope, the outline of a perspective, then I offer it as my model."
A native of Latvia, Vasks began his studies at the Riga Conservatory, later transferring to the Lithuanian Music Academy in Vilnius where he earned a degree in double-bass performance. His first-hand knowledge of low strings emerges in much of his orches?tral writing, which typically demonstrate a Mahlerian depth and richness. In addition to Mahler, he cites the Polish composers -Lutoslawski, Penderecki, and Gorecki -as important influences, along with Kancheli, Crumb, Messiaen, and Sibelius. But Vasks is also careful to point out that the spirit of his music is fundamentally nationalistic: "I really do not like the Esperanto mode of musical language...in my music, I speak Latvian."
Vasks composed Book for Cello, in 1978 for the Latvian cellist Maijai Predelei. The title alludes to the numerous collections for
solo instruments, especially popular in the baroque era, that were intended as pedagog?ical or technical tools, such as the Livres de Clavecin or the Anna Magdelena Notebook. Though obviously differing in form and style, the instrumentation also recalls Bach's suites for unaccompanied cello. The work is in two movements, designated (somewhat unusually) by dynamic level rather than tempo. After an aggressive fortissimo open?ing, the first movement develops a short sequential motif that is rife with echoes of Bach. In later passages, double stops and pizzicato techniques abound, along with numerous recollections of the movement's urgent opening. In the pianissimo second movement, a plaintive melody emerges over a drone bass. When it returns, the performer is asked to harmonize the melody in thirds by singing wordlessly while playing. The melody and drone return, moving into the instrument's upper registers. The move?ment's symmetrical form rounds out with a return to the performer's wordless vocaliz?ing and a reprise of the delicate opening tremolando.
II sogno di un uomo ridicolo
(The Dream of a Ridiculous Man) Duo for Violin and Viola
Ennio Morricone
Born November 10, 1928 in Rome
One of the foremost film composers of the last forty years, Ennio Morricone is almost exclusively (and almost as unfortunately) associated with the genre of the "Spaghetti Western." After studying trumpet and com?position, and working for several years as a song writer and arranger, Morricone first made his mark as a film composer in Sergio Leone's 1964 film, A Fistful of Dollars, a score noted for its unusual instrumentation, sparse textures, and memorable melodies.
He ensured his reputation with the sound?track to Leone's 1967 classic, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
Morricone's name became synonymous with Italian Westerns, but it would be wrong to think of his music only in relation to a young Clint Eastwood and bad dubbing. He has written music for nearly 400 feature films, earning several Oscar nominations for scores (and films) as varied in style and genre as The Mission, Bugsy, Cinema Paradiso, Hamlet, and The Untouchables.
With such a distinguished and high-profile career in film, Morricone's non-film music has received relatively little attention, despite the release in 1988 of a recording of some of his early chamber pieces. Morricone's "serious" works, interspersed evenly throughout his career, are written in a variety of styles but with a leaning towards the experimental. The Duet for Violin and Viola belongs to a group of several Morricone chamber works to feature the viola, including Sounds for Dino, Scie, and the Threi Duets based on a text by Dostoyevsky.
Time and Again for String Trio
Giya Kancheli
Born August 10, 1935 in Tbilisi, Georgia
Giya Kancheli almost didn't become a musi?cian at all; his early professional training was as a geologist. During his second year of study at the Geology Institute in his home town of Tbilisi in the Georgian Republic, he went on a fieldwork expedition, hiking sev?enteen miles in hundred-degree heat while carrying rocks and heavy tools. That night, weary and disillusioned, he made a list of professions that that didn't have any con?nection to walking -"musician" was on the list. He quit the Geology Institute and sub-
sequently enrolled at the music conservato?ry in Tbilisi.
Today Kancheli is one of the most suc?cessful composers to emerge from Eastern Europe in the aftermath of the Cold War. He has been aligned with Part and Gorecki, but perhaps is more in the tradition of Shostakovich in that the core of his work is symphonic. He has, to date, composed seven symphonies, characterized by bare structures, simple gestures, and extreme dynamic con?trasts. While his music is not explicitly Christian in the manner of his Eastern European colleagues, he claims that his com?positions should inspire in the listener "the widely understood feeling of religiousness" that is common to the music he loves most.
Kancheli has a deep, almost mystical reverence for silence. He writes, "Silence can be of many kinds. There's formal silence, there's intellectual silence, and there's silence that's accompanied by some kind of'letting go,' some kind of attention, expectation. I strive towards this last kind of silence." In addition to extended passages of silence, many of Kancheli's compositions use slow tempi to help give the impression of a quasi-mystical stasis.
In recent years, Kancheli has written more frequently for solo strings, especially in collaboration with the viola virtuoso Kim Kashkashian, who has championed his music through concert performance and recordings. Kancheli composed Time and Again for another of his ardent enthusiasts, Gidon Kremer. Originally written for violin and piano (and premiered by Kremer in 1997), Time and Again is presented here in an arrangement for string trio.
Trio for Strings
Alfred Schnittke
Born November 24, 1934 in Engels,
near Saratov, Russia Died August 3, 1998 in Hamburg, Germany
Alfred Schnittke never felt the same deep attachment to folk and culture that his Eastern European contemporaries did. Born in central Russia to German parents in 1934, he moved with his family to Vienna a few years later, where he received most of his early musical training. On his return to Russia in 1948 he continued music studies, enrolling at the Moscow Conservatory and taking on a faculty position there after his graduation. But Schnittke was always some?thing of an outsider no matter where he lived. Not only was he constantly buffeted by traditional German-Russian tensions, his Jewish heritage placed him uncomfortably at odds in both the German and Soviet cul?tures. Some have supposed that Schnittke's tendency towards musical "polystylism," in which multiple historical styles co-exist in the same work, might have something to do with this sense of alienation. Without deep cultural roots to anchor him in a folk tradi?tion, he was free (or compelled) to wander across the vast musical landscape, picking up pieces here and there to assemble togeth?er in his compositions. Making the most of his cultural dilemma, Schnittke believed that polystylism was a possible means for guid?ing the avant-garde out of its crisis; now all music could be considered "contemporary." Trio for Strings, completed in 1985 just before the composer suffered a series of near-fatal strokes, was commissioned by the Alban Berg foundation as a tribute for the one-hundredth anniversary of Berg's birth. The first movement begins leisurely, with nostalgic echoes of the Mozart and Beethoven trios in its passages of parallel sixths, tonal harmony, and cadential pat?terns. It mimics the elegance of late Classical
chamber music, but is interrupted by sec?tions of aggressive chromatic turbulence and quasi-minimalist rhythmic cells, as if a rogue allegro movement is trying to bully its way into the piece.
The plaintive ending of the first move?ment glides smoothly into the following "Adagio." Despite the nominal change in tempo, there is little perceptible difference in the level of musical activity. The "Adagio" uses essentially the same materials, but they take on a more folk-like quality with the use of drones and open fifths (and without the interruptions found in the first movement). More overtly sad than the first movement, it ends with a soft, wrenching cry.
La calle 92 for Viola and Cello Milonga sin palabras for String Trio Rio Sena for String Trio
Astor Pantaleon Piazzolla,
arr. Leonid Desjatnikov Born March 11, 1921 in Mar del Plata,
Argentina Died July 4, 1992 in Buenos Aires
Astor Piazzolla, like Bach or Duke Ellington, was the type of consummate musician for whom performance, improvisation, and composition were indivisible. Piazzolla had a successful career as a tanguero in his native Buenos Aires during the 1940s and early 50s, playing the bandoneon and leading dance bands. But he felt compelled to broaden his experience beyond the subur?ban dance halls. He studied composition with Alberto Ginastera and later went to Paris to study with the famous French peda?gogue Nadia Boulanger, who gave him the same advice she had given Aaron Copland: "be true to the real composer inside you." Believing that the tango was "for the ears, not the feet," Piazzolla went back to Argentina (later moving to New York), and
worked tirelessly to make the tango a legiti?mate and respected concert-hall genre.
For many years, Piazzolla's music was met with opposition from both tangueros and classical musicians. His compositions were thought too complex and mannered for dancing, yet too ingratiating to be con?sidered as "serious" new music. It was only near the end of his life, and in the years fol?lowing his death, that overwhelming interest in Piazzolla has replaced the earlier indiffer?ence.
With classically-trained musicians such as the Kronos Quartet and Gidon Kremer paying homage to Piazzolla, many recent performances of his music have been in the form of transcriptions. Leonid Desyatnikov, one of the more prolific transcribers of Piazzolla's works, arranged the 1968 "tango opera" Maria of Buenos Aires with an orchestral accompaniment, and has also arranged Piazzolla's 1956 film score Tango Ballet for Gidon Kremer and the KREMgRata BALTICA.
Program notes by Luke Howard.
In the twenty-five-year course of his distinguished career, violinist Gidon Kremer has established a reputation worldwide as one of the most original and compelling artists of his genera?tion. He has appeared on virtually every major concert stage with the most celebrat?ed orchestras of Europe and America and has collaborated with today's foremost con?ductors and instrumentalists.
His repertoire is unusually extensive, encompassing all of the standard classical and Romantic violin works, as well as music by twentieth-century masters such as Henze, Berg and Stockhausen. He has also champi?oned the works of living Russian and Eastern European composers and has per?formed many important new compositions,
several of them dedicated to him. He has become associated with such diverse com?posers as Alfred Schnittke, Arvo Part, Sofia Gubaidulina, Valentin Silvestrov, Luigi Nono, Aribert Reimann, John Adams and Astor Piazzolla, bringing their music to audiences in a way that respects tradition yet remains contemporary.
Since making his Western debut, Mr. Kremer has appeared with the orchestras of Berlin, Boston, Amsterdam, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia, New York, London, Paris and Vienna in collaborations with a distinguished roster of conductors that includes Leonard Bernstein, Herbert von Karajan, Carlo Maria Giulini, Eugen Jochum, Andre Previn, Claudio Abbado, James Levine, Lorin Maazel, Riccardo Muti, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Zubin Mehta and Sir Neville Marriner.
Deeply committed to chamber music, Mr. Kremer devotes a portion of his sched?ule to recital appearances with partners such as Valery Afanassiev, Martha Argerich, Keith Jarrett, Oleg Maisenberg, Vadim Sakharov, Tatyana Grindenko, Misha Maisky and Thomas Zehetmair. An exceptionally prolific recording artist, Gidon Kremer has made more than 100 albums for Deutsche Grammophon, Teldec, Philips, ECM, Sony Classical, EMIAngel and Nonesuch. His recordings have garnered many awards, among them the prestigious "Grand Prix du Disque" and "Deutsche Schallplattenpreis."
Since 1981, Mr. Kremer has been invit?ing a select group of artists to participate in the music festival he founded in the small Austrian village of Lockenhaus. For two weeks each summer, musicians from all parts of the world gather to perform in an intimate setting. The festival's emphasis is on the exploration of new repertoire, with unusual pairings of musicians who collabo?rate in an informal atmosphere conducive to discovery and communication. Lockenhaus is the realization of the violin-
ist's belief that music can overcome all bar?riers of language and culture. Since 1992, musicians from Lockenhaus have been touring throughout the world under the designation KREMERata MUSICA. On the occasion of Franz Schubert's 200th birthday celebrations in 1997, they undertook a comprehensive concert cycle devoted to Schubert throughout Europe, including appearances at the Salzburg Festival. Also in 1997, Mr. Kremer made a world tour with his "Hommage a Piazzolla" program. The following year he recorded and toured extensively with a concert version of Piazzolla's tango "operita" Maria de Buenos Aires.
In November 1996, Mr. Kremer found?ed the KREMERata BALTICA chamber
orchestra to foster outstanding young musicians from the three Baltic states. He is undertaking regular concert tours with the orchestra, serving as Artistic Director and soloist. Since 1997 Mr. Kremer has also been the Artistic Director of the Musiksommer Gstaad in Switzerland, succeeding Lord Yehudi Menuhin.
Gidon Kremer was born in 1947 in Riga, Latvia. He began his study of the violin at age four with his father and grandfather, both of whom were accomplished string players. At seven, his formal education began with his entry into the Riga Music School as a student of Professor Sturestep. By the time he reached the eighth grade he was auditioning for com?petitions in Poland, Romania and France, and at sixteen was awarded the First Prize of the Latvian Republic. Two years later he suc?cessfully auditioned for David Oistrakh and became one of the
few students selected to apprentice under that master at the Moscow Conservatory.
In 1967 Mr. Kremer won his first inter?national prize: the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels. Following this tri?umph, he took a prize in the Montreal Competition, top honors in the Paganini Competition in Genoa, and, finally, the cov?eted First Prize in the 1970 Tchaikovsky Competition.
Gidon Kremer plays a Guarnerius del Gesu, "ex-David," dated from 1730. He is also the author of three books, published in German, which reflect his artistic pursuits.
This afternoon's performance marks Gidon Kremer's sixth appearance under UMS auspices.
Violist Ula Ulijona was born in Vilnius in 1974. She studied at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and participated in mas?ter classes with Mstislav Rostropovich, Hatto Beyerle, Veronika Hagen, Yuri Bashmet and Gidon Kremer. Winner of first prizes in the national Lithuanian music competitions in 1991 and 1994, Ms. Ulijona has appeared as a soloist with many ensem?bles and orchestras both at home and abroad. As a member of Gidon Kremer's KREMERata BALTICA chamber orchestra, she took part in the ensemble's debut recordings for Teldec and gave concerts at the 1997 Lockenhaus, Dubrovnik, Salzburg and Gstaad Festivals. She also participated in the orchestra's 1998 and 1999 tours to Europe, the US, Taiwan and Hong Kong -playing frequently as soloist with Gidon Kremer. Since 1998 she has also been play?ing chamber music with Gidon Kremer and was a member of the ensemble for his recording (and subsequent touring) of Piazzwlla's tango "operita" Maria de Buenos Aires.
This afternoons performance marks Ula Ulijona's debut under UMS auspices.
Cellist Marta Sudraba was born in Riga, Latvia, in 1975 and attended the local music college, from which she graduated in 1993. In 1998, after studies at the Latvian Academy of Music, she moved first to London and then to Basel to study with Professor Thomas Demenga. In 1997 she joined the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra as principal cellist, the same position she holds as a member of Gidon Kremer's KREMERata BALTICA chamber orchestra. She has appeared with KREMERata BALTICA at the 1997 Lockenhaus and Salzburg Festivals; on tour to the US, Japan and Europe in 1998 and 1999; and on the orchestra's first recordings for Teldec. She was in the ensemble for Gidon Kremer's recording of Maria de Buenos Aires, by Astor Piazzolla, which also toured worldwide.
This afternoon's performance marks Marta Sudraba's debut under UMS auspices.
