LETTER FROM TH E PRESIDENT
I'm delighted to welcome you to this performance presented by the University Musical Society (UMS) of the University of Michigan. Thank you for supporting the performing arts in our community by your attendance at this event. Please consider coming to some of our other performances this season. You'll find a complete listing beginning on page 29. UMS, now in our 122nd year, was recently recognized by Musical America as one of the five most influential performing arts present?ing organizations in the US. The others were Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center, Brooklyn Academy of Music, and Cal Performances at Berkeley. We were cited for our commitment to quality, diversity, education, community engagement, and commissioning new work from composers and choreographers. We are excited about this recognition and pleased that our 20002001 season continues our commitment to these important goals.
This season UMS will present ninety per?formances for a total audience expected to exceed 125,000 people. If current trends con?tinue, over 30 of the audience will be first-.time UMS ticket purchasers, reflecting UMS' efforts to embrace all of the people in our community and to welcome them to the nine performance venues that we rent throughout southeastern Michigan. We expect to host more than 200 educational events, serving
more than 60,000 people.
More than half of our presentations this season feature artists and ensembles from outside the US, representing more than twenty nations. We will close our regular season with a UMS co-commission and world premiere featuring the Ping Chong Company and Ensemble Sequentia, bringing the number of new music and dance pieces UMS has commissioned over the past decade to twenty-five, most of them in partnership with other presenters from throughout the world.
We are able to maintain our distinctiveness thanks to you who make up our audience and to the corporations, foundations, govern?ment agencies, and thousands of individuals and families who support us through their contributions. During this extraordinary season, when, for example, UMS and the University of Michigan partner with the Royal Shakespeare Company to bring four
of Shakespeare's extraordinary history plays to Ann Arbor in an exclusive US presentation, we must raise more than half of our $8-million budget from donations. I invite you to help us in this effort by becoming a UMS member this season. For more information about membership, turn to page 45. And if you haven't done so already, consider purchasing a copy of BRAVO!, our award-winning 224-page table-top book containing recipes, legends, and lore from 120 years of UMS history. It makes a great gift, and all proceeds benefit UMS.
Overseeing our fundraising efforts with great skill is Christina Thoburn, our newly-appointed Director of Development whom I hope you'll be able to get to know. Christina came to us in April 2000 from The Cleveland Orchestra where she led foundation and gov?ernment relations. Her career also includes being managing director of the Cleveland Chamber Symphony where she developed a passion for diverse programming and community engagement. An avid knitter and baseball fan, Christina is married and the mother of three grown children. She succeeds Catherine Arcure, who left UMS to work with violinist Itzhak Perlman in New York City as Executive Director of the Perlman Music Program.
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 concert-going experience the best possi?ble. Look for me in the lobby. If we don't connect there, feel free to 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

UMS HISTORY
The goal of the University Musical Society (UMS) is clear: to engage, educate, and serve Michigan audi?ences 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 121 years, strong leader?ship coupled with a devoted community has placed UMS in a league of internationally-recognized performing arts presenters. Indeed, Musical America selected UMS as one of the five most influential arts presenters in the United States in 1999. Today, the UMS seasonal program is a reflection of a thoughtful respect for this rich and varied history, balanced by a commitment to dynamic and creative visions of where the performing arts will take us in the new 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 per?formed by the UMS Choral Union annually.
As a great number of Choral Union members also belonged to the University, the University
Musical Society was 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 from the full spectrum of the perform?ing arts--internationally renowned recitalists and orchestras, dance and chamber ensem?bles, jazz and world music performers, and opera and theatre. Through educational endeavors, commissioning of new works,
Musical America selected UMS as one of the five most influential arts presenters in the United States in 1999.
youth programs, artist residencies and other collaborative projects, UMS has maintained its reputation for quality, artistic distinction and innovation. UMS now hosts over eighty performances and more than 150 educational events each season. UMS has flourished with the support of a generous community that gathers in Hill and Rackham Auditoria, Power Center for the Performing Arts, Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre, Michigan Theater, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, the Detroit Opera House, Music Hall and the Residential College Auditorium.
While proudly affiliated with the University of Michigan, housed on the Ann Arbor cam?pus, and a regular collaborator with many University units, UMS is a separate not-for-profit organization that supports itself from ticket sales, corporate and individual contri?butions, foundation and government grants, and endowment income.
UMS CHORAL UNION
Throughout its 121-year history, the University Musical Society Choral Union has performed with many of the world's distinguished orchestras and conductors.
Based in Ann Arbor under the aegis of the University Musical Society, the 150-voice Choral Union is known for its definitive per?formances of large-scale works for chorus and orchestra. Seven years ago, the Choral Union further enriched that tradition when 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 accepting invitations to appear with other major regional orchestras, and soon added Britten's War Requiem, Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius, the Berlioz Requiem and other masterworks to its repertoire. 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).
The Choral Union is a talent pool capable of performing choral music of every genre. In addition to choral masterworks, the Choral
Union has recently 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. The Choral Union's 36-voice Chamber Chorale 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 1999-2000 season, the Choral Union performed in three major subscription series at Orchestra Hall with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, including performances of Shostakovich's Symphony No. 13 (Babi Yar), and Igor Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms, all conducted by Neeme Jarvi, as well as John Adams' Harmonium, conducted by the composer. Other programs included Mahler's Symphony No. 3 with the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra and Scriabin's Symphony No. 5 with the Russian National Orchestra.
During the current season, the UMS Choral Union will again appear in two series with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, both conducted by Neeme Jarvi. The chorus will join in the DSO's opening night performance of Mahler's Symphony No. 2 (Resurrection), followed later in the season by Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. The Choral Union's 122nd-annual performances of Messiah follow, as the choir is joined by world-class soloists and the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra. The chorus will make its debut with the Kalamazoo Symphony in March 2001, performing Mendelssohn's rarely-heard Symphony No. 2. The Choral Union's season will close on April 22, 2001, in a performance of Hector Berlioz' Requiem with the Greater Lansing Symphony Orchestra and members of the U-M School of Music Symphony Band in Hill Auditorium, conducted by Thomas Sheets.
Participation in the Choral Union remains
open to all by audition. Representing a mixture of townspeople, students and faculty, members of the Choral Union share one common passion--a love of the choral art. For more information about the UMS Choral Union, e-mail kio@umich.edu or call 734.763.8997.
AUDITORIABURTON MEMORIAL TOWER
Hill Auditorium
Standing tall and proud in the heart of the University of Michigan campus, Hill Auditorium is associated with the best perform?ing artists the world has to offer. Inaugurated at the Twentieth Annual Ann Arbor May Festival in 1913, the 4,163-seat Hill Auditorium has served as a showplace for a variety of important debuts and long relationships throughout the past eighty-seven 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 auditori?um seated 4,597 when it first opened; subse?quent renovations, which increased the size of the stage to accommodate both an orchestra and a large chorus (1948) and improved wheelchair seating (1995), decreased the seating capacity to its current 4,163.
Rackham Auditorium
Sixty years ago, chamber music concerts in Ann Arbor were a relative rarity, present?ed in an assortment of venues including University Hall (the precursor to Hill Auditorium), Hill Auditorium, and Newberry Hall, the current home of the Kelsey Museum. When Horace H. Rackham, a Detroit lawyer who believed strongly in the importance of the study of human history and human thought, died in 1933, his will established the Horace H. Rackham and Mary A. Rackham Fund, which subsequently awarded the University of Michigan the funds not only to build the Horace H. Rackham Graduate School, which houses the 1,129-seat Rackham Auditorium, but also to establish a $4-million endowment to further the development of graduate studies. Even more remarkable than the size of the gift, which is still considered one of the most ambitious ever given to higher-level educa?tion, is the fact that neither of the Rackhams ever attended the University of Michigan.
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 inter?ested, realizing that state and federal govern?ment were unlikely to provide financial sup?port for the construction of a new theatre.
The Power Center opened in 1971 with the world premiere of The Grass Harp (based on the novel by Truman Capote).
No seat in the Power Center is more than 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.
Due to renovations to Burton Memorial Tower, the Power Center will be home to the UMS Box Office for the duration of the cur?rent season.
Power Center
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 around $600,000 when it was first built. 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. At its opening the theater was acclaimed as the best
of its kind in the country. Since 1979, the theater has been operated by the not-for-profit Michigan Theater Foundation. With broad community support, the Foundation has raised over $8 million to restore and improve the Michigan Theater. The beautiful interior of the theater was restored in 1986. In the fall of 1999, the Michigan Theater opened a new 200-seat screening room addi?tion, which also included expanded restroom facilities for the historic theater. The gracious facade and entry vestibule was restored in 2000 and the balcony and backstage will be restored during 2001.
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church
In 1950, Father Leon Kennedy was appoint?ed pastor of a new parish in Ann Arbor. Seventeen years later ground was broken to build a permanent church building, and on March 19, 1969 John Cardinal Dearden dedi?cated the new St. Francis of Assisi Church. Father 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 splen?did 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 build?ing, and the reverberant sanctuary has made the church a gathering place for the enjoy?ment and contemplation of sacred a cappella choral music and early music ensembles.
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
Notwithstanding an isolated effort to estab?lish a chamber music series by faculty and students in 1938, UMS recently began presenting artists in the Lydia Mendelssohn
Theatre in 1993, when Eartha Kitt and Barbara Cook graced the stage of the intimate 658-seat theatre for the 100th May Festival's Cabaret Ball. Now, with UMS' programmatic initiative to present song in recital, the superlative Mendelssohn Theatre has become a recent venue addition to UMS' roster and the home of the Song Recital series as well as the venue of choice for the world premiere of Curse of the Gold: Myths from the Icelandic Edda, part of UMS' new International Theater Festival.
Detroit Opera House
The Detroit Opera House opened in April of 1996 following 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 col?laboration with the Nederlander organization and Olympia Entertainment, formed a part?nership with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and played host to more than 500 performers and special events. As the home of Michigan Opera Theatre's grand opera season and dance series, and through quality program?ming, partnerships and educational initiatives, the Detroit Opera House plays a vital role in enriching the lives of the community.
Music Hall
Originally called the Wilson Theatre, Music Hall was completed in 1928 with funds provided by Matilda Wilson (Mrs. Alfred G.). William E. Kapp of Smith, Hinchman & Grylls, an architectural firm whose works dominated
Detroit's skyline of the 1920s, designed the Art Deco-style edifice. Terra-cotta Greek masks adorn the exterior, and elaborate molded plaster and stenciling complement the interior. The theatre's purpose of offering legitimate
productions was initially fulfilled, but during the Depression its lights dimmed except on sporadic occasions. From 1946 through 1949, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra occupied the structure which was renamed Music Hall. During the 1950s and 1960s, area residents came to the theatre to enjoy cinema. Now the home of the Music Hall Center, Music Hall is restored to its original use and appearance.
The Residential College Auditorium
The Residential College (RC) is an academic unit within the College of Literature, Science and the Arts (LSA), with roughly sixty faculty and 900 students, offering a four-year liberal arts education and a unique living-learning expe?rience in the East Quadrangle -one of the University's student residence complexes. A few years after the opening of the RC in 1967, the RC Auditorium was construct?ed in an alcove between exterior brick walls of the northern and southern parts of East Quad (these walls are still visible). In line with the founding philosophy of the RC Drama Program, the
Auditorium incorporates a thrust stage; more than 200 people can be seated around the stage on the main floor and in an overhanging bal?cony.
The Auditorium has been used as a class?room, lecture hall, movie theater and concert hall, as well as the site for hundreds of pro-
ductions by the RC Drama Program, the RC's "Brecht Company" (staging more than a dozen of Brecht's works), the RC's "Deutsches Theater" (performing plays in German), and the student-run "RC Players." Dramatic pro-
ductions at the Auditorium have ranged from Euripides to Sam Shepard and have included numerous student-written plays--some of them awarded Hopwood Prizes. Other events include Professor Peter Arnott's marionette realizations of Greek tragedies, Asian theater demon?strations, Native American danc?ing, a complete production of Mozart's Cost fan tutti, and a monodrama by lesbian activist Holly Hughes. The RC Auditorium has also been the site of readings by many promi?nent writers, including poets Allen Ginsberg, Jerome Rothenberg and John Sinclair as well as authors Christopher Curtis and John Hawkes.
Burton Memorial Tower
Seen from miles away, Burton Memorial Tower is one of the most well-known University of Michigan and Ann Arbor landmarks. Completed in 1935 and designed by Albert Kahn, the 10-story tower is built of Indiana limestone with a height of 212 feet.
The familiar home of UMS Administrative offices undergoes
significant renovations this season, moving the UMS Box Office to a new, temporary location in the Power Center.
UMS Administrative offices have also been relocated--to 109 E. Madison--but please continue to use our Burton Memorial Tower mailing address.

Dichterliebe, Op. 48
Robert Schumann {Heinrich Heine)
Im wunderschonen Monat Mai
Im wunderschonen Monat Mai, Als alle knospen sprangen, Da ist in Meinem Herzen Die Liebe aufgegangen.
Im wunderschonen Monat Mai, als alle Vogel sangen, Da hab' ich ihr gestanden Mein Sehnen und Verlangen.
Aus meinen Tranen spriessen
Aus meinen Tranen spriessen Viel bluhende Blumen hervor, Und meine Seufzer werden Ein Nachtigallenchor.
Und wenn du mich lieb hast, Kindchen schenk' ich dir die Blumen all, Und vor deinem Fenster soil klingen Das Lied der Nachtigall.
Die Rose, die Lilie, die Taube, die Sonne
Die Rose, die Lilie, die Taube, die Sonne,
Die liebt' ich einst alle in Liebeswonne,
Ich lieb' sie nicht mehr, ich liebe alleine
Die Kleine, die Feine, die Reine, die Eine;
Sie selber, aller Liebe Wonne,
Ist Rose und Lilie und Taube und Sonne.
Ich liebe alliene
Die Kleine, die Feine, die Reine, die Eine.
A Poet's Love
In the Wondrous Month of May
In the wondrous month of May, When all the buds were bursting open, Then it was that my heart Filled with love.
In the wondrous month of May, When all the birds were singing, Then it was I confessed to her My longing and desire.
From My Tears Burst
From my tears burst Many blooming flowers, And my sighs become A nightingale chorus.
And if you love me, child, I'll give you all the flowers, And at your window shall sound The song of the nightingale.
Rose, Lily, Dove, Sun
Rose, lily, dove, sun,
All once I blissfully loved.
I love them no more, alone I love
the small, the fine, the pure, the one;
She, most blissful of all loves,
Is rose and lily and dove and sun.
Alone I love
the small, the fine, the pure, the one.
Wenn ich in deine Augen seh'
Wenn ich in deine Augen seh', So schwindet all' mein Leid und Weh'; Doch wenn ich kiisse deinen Mund, So werd' ich ganz und gar gesund.
Wenn ich mich lehn' an deine Brust, Kommt's uber mich wie Himmelslust; Doch wenn du sprichst: ich liebe dich! So muss ich weinen bitterlich.
Ich will meine Seele tauchen
Ich will meine Seele tauchen In den Kelch der Lilie hinein; Die Lilie soil klingend hauchen Ein Lied von der Liebsten mein.
Das Lied soil schauern und beben Wie der Kuss von ihrem Mund, Den sie mir einst gegeben In wunderbar siisser Stund'.
Im Rhein, im schonen Strome
Im Rhein, im heiligen Strome, Da spiegelt sich in den Well'n Mit seinem grofien Dome, Das groSe, heilige Koln.
Im Dom da steht ein Bildnis, Auf goldenem Leder gemalt; In meines Lebens Wildnis Hat's freundlich hineingestrahlt.
Es schweben Blumen und Eng'lein Um unsre liebe Frau; die Augen, die Lippen, die Wanglein, Die gleichen der Liebsten genau.
When Into Your Eyes I Look
When into your eyes I look All my sorrow flies; But when I kiss your lips, Then I am wholly healed.
When I recline upon your breast, Over me steals heavenly bliss; But when you say: it's you I love! Then bitter tears must I shed.
My Soul Will I Bathe
My soul will I bathe In the lily's chalice; The lily shall breathe A song of my beloved.
The song shall tremble and quiver Like the kiss her lips Bestowed on me once, In a sweet and lovely hour.
In the Rhine, the Holy River
In the Rhine, the holy river, There mirrored in the waves, With its great cathedral Is great and holy Cologne.
In the cathedral stands a picture, Painted on gilded leather; Into my life's wilderness Friendly rays it has cast.
Flowers and angels float About Our Lady dear; Eyes, lips, cheeks, Are the image of my love's.
Ich grolle nicht, und wenn das Herz auch bricht
Ich grolle nicht, und wenn das Herz
auch bricht,
Ewig verlor'nes Lieb! Ich grolle nicht. Wie du auch strahlst in
Diamanten-pracht, Es fallt kein Strahl in deines Herzens
Nacht. Das weifi ich langst.
Ich grolle nicht, und wenn das Herz
auch bricht.
Ich sah dich ja im Traume, Und sah die Nacht in deines Herzens
Raume, Und sah die Schlang', die dir am
Herzen frifit,
Ich sah, mein Lieb, wie sehr du elend bist. Ich grolle nicht.
Und wiiGten's die Blumen, die kleinen
Und wiifiten's die Blumen, die kleinen, Wie tief verwundet mein Herz, Sie wiirden mit mir weinen, Zu heilen meinen Schmerz.
Und wufiten's die Nachtigallen, Wie ich so traurig und krank, sie liefien frohlich erschallen Erquickenden Gesang.
Und wiiSten sie mein Wehe, Die goldenen Sternelein, Sie kamen aus ihrer Hohe, Und sprachen Trost mir ein.
Sie alle konnen's nicht wissen, Nur Eine kennt meinen Schmerz; Sie hat ja selbst zerrissen, Zerrissen mir das Herz.
I Bear No Grudge, Though My Heart Breaks
I bear no grudge, though my heart
breaks,
Loved one forever lost! I bear no grudge. However you may gleam in
diamond splendor, No ray falls into the night of
your heart. I've known that long.
I bear no grudge, though my heart
breaks.
For I saw you in my dream, Saw the night within
your heart, And saw the serpent gnawing at
your heart,
Saw, my love, how pitiful you are. I bear no grudge.
If the Little Flowers Knew
If the little flowers knew How deep my heart is hurt, With me they would weep To heal my pain.
If the nightingales knew How sad I am and sick, Joyously they'd let sound Refreshing song.
And if they knew my grief, The little golden stars, From the sky they'd come And console me.
But none of them can know, One only knows my pain; For she it was who broke My heart, broke my heart in two.
Das ist ein Floten und Geigen
Das ist ein Floten und Geigen, Trompeten schmettern darein; Da tanzt wohl den Hochzeitsreigen Die Herzallerliebste mein. Das ist ein Klingen und Drohnen, Ein Pauken und ein Schalmeitn; Dazwischen schluchzen und stohnen Die liebchen Engelein.
Hor' ich das Liedchen klingen
Hor' ich das Liedchen klingen, Das einst die Liebste sang, So will mir die Brust zerspringen Von wildem Schmerzendrang.
Es treibt mich ein dunkles Sehnen Hinauf zur Waldeshoh', Dort lost sich auf in Tranen Mein iibergrosses Weh'.
Ein J tingling liebt ein Madchen,
Ein Jiingling liebt ein Madchen, Die hat einen andern erwahlt; Der andre liebt eine andre, Und hat sich mit dieser vermahlt.
Das Madchen nimmt aus Arger Den ersten besten Mann, Der ihr in den Weg gelaufen; Der Jungling ist iibel dran.
Es ist eine alte Geschichte, Doch bleibt sie immer neu; Und wem sie just passieret, Dem bricht das Herz entzwei.
What a Fluting and Fiddling
What a fluting and fiddling And a blaring of trumpets! There, dancing her wedding dance Will be my dearest love. What a clashing and clanging, Drumming and piping; And sobbing and groaning Of delightful angels.
When I Hear the Song
When I hear the song My love once sang, My heart almost breaks From the wild rush of pain.
Vague longing drives me Up to the high forest, Where my immense grief Dissolves in tears.
A Boy Loves a Girl
A boy loves a girl She chose another; The other loves another And her he weds.
The girl, out of spite, Takes the first man To come her way; The boy's badly hurt.
It is an old, old story, Remains though ever new, And he to whom it's happened, His heart is broken in half.
Am leuchtenden Sommermorgen
Am leuchtenden Sommermorgen Geh' ich im Garten herum. Es fliistern und sprechen die Blumen, Ich aber wandle stumm.
Es fliistern und sprechen die Blumen, Und schaun mitleidig mich an: Sei unsrer Schwester nicht bose, Du trauriger blasser Mann.
Ich hab' im Traum geweinet
Ich hab' im Traum geweinet, Mir traumt', du lagest im Grab. Ich wachte auf, und die Trane Floss noch von der Wange herab.
Ich hab' im Traum geweinet, Mir traumt', du verliessest mich. Ich wachte auf, und ich weinte Noch Iange bitterlich.
Ich hab' im Traum geweinet, Mir traumte, du war'st mir noch gut. Ich wachte auf, und noch immer Stromt mein Tranenflut.
Allnachtlich im Traume seh' ich dich
Allnachtlich im Traume seh'ich dich, Und sehe dich freundlich griissen, Und laut aufweinend stiirz ich mich Zu deinen siissen Fiissen.
Du sichest mich an wehmiitiglich Und schiittelst das blonde Kopfchen; Aus deinen Augen schleichen sich Die Perlentranentropfchen.
Du sagst mir heimlich ein leises Wort Und gibst mir den Strauss von Cypressen. Ich wache auf, und der Strauss ist fort, Und's Wort hab' ich vergessen.
One Bright Summer Morning
One bright summer morning I walk in the garden. Flowers whisper and speak, But I walk silently.
Flowers whisper and speak, And gaze at me in pity: "Be not angry with our sister, Sad, pale man!"
I Wept In My Dream
I wept in my dream,
I dreamt you lay in your grave.
I woke, and tears
Still flowed upon my cheek.
I wept in my dream,
I dreamt you were leaving me.
I woke, and wept on
Long and bitterly.
I wept in my dream,
I dreamt you loved me still.
I woke, and still
My tears stream.
Nightly in My Dreams I See You
Nightly in my dreams I see you, See your friendly greeting, And weeping loudly, hurl myself At your sweet feet.
You look at me wistfully, Shaking your little fair head; From your eyes steal Teardrops of pearl.
A soft word you whisper me in secret And give me a bouquet of cypress. I wake, the cypress is gone, And the word forgotten.
Aus alten Marchen winkt es
Aus alten Marchen winkt es Hervor mit weisser Hand, Da singt es und da klingt es Von einem Zauberland;
Wo bunte Blumen bliihen Im gold'nen Abendlicht, Und lieblich duftend gliihen, Mit brautlichem Gesicht;
(Und griine Baume singen Uralte Melodei'n, Die Liifte heimlich klingen, Und Vogel schmettern drein; Und Nebelbilder steigen Wohl aus der Erd'hervor, Und tanzen luft'gen Reigen Im wunderlichen Chor;
Und blaue Funken brennen An jedem Blatt und Reis, Und rote Lichter rennen Im irren, wirren Kreis;
Und laute Quellen brechen Aus wildem Marmorstein. Und seltsam in den Bochen Strahlt fort der Widerschein.)
Ach, konnt' ich dorthin kommen, Und dort mein Herz erfreu', Und aller Qual entnommen, Und frei und selig sein! Ach! jenes Land der Wonne, Das seh' ich oft im Traum, Doch kommt die Morgensonne, Zerfliesst's wie eitel Schaum.
A White Hand Beckons
A white hand beckons From fairy tales of old, Song there is, and sounds Of a magic land;
Where gay flowers bloom In golden evening light, And, sweet scented, glow With bride-like faces;
(And green trees sing Old, old melodies, Stealthy breezes murmur, And birds warble; And misty shapes rear From the earth, And dance airy dances In strange throng;
And blue sparks blaze On every leaf and twig, And red fires race In mad wild circles;
And loud springs burst From wild marble, and Strangely in the brooks The reflection shines.)
Oh, could I but go there, There gladden my heart, From all pain removed, Be blissful and free. Oh, that land of joy, In dreams I see it often, But, come morning sun, It's gone like foam.
Die alten, bosen Lieder
Die alten, bosen Lieder, Die Traume bos' und arg, Die lasst uns jetzt begraben, Holt einen grossen Sarg.
Hinein leg'ich gar manches, Doch sag'ich noch nicht, was; Der Sarg muss sein noch grosser Wie's Heidelberger Fass.
Und holt eine Totenbahre Und Bretter fest und dick; Auch muss sie sein noch langer, Als wie zu Mainz die Briickl
Und holt mir auch zwolf Riesen, Die mussen noch starker sein Als wie der starke Christoph Im Dom zu Koln am Rhein.
Die sollen den Sarg forttragen, Und senken ins Meer hinab; Denn solchem grossen Sarge Gebiihrt ein grosses Grab.
Wisst ihr, warum der Sarg wohl So gross und schwer mag sein Ich senkt auch meine Liebe Und meinen Schmerz hinein.
The Bad, Old Songs
The bad, old songs, The dreams wicked and bad, Let us now bury them-Fetch a big coffin.
Much will I lay in it, Though what, I won't yet say; a bigger coffin must it be Than the Vat of Heidelberg.
And fetch a bier And planks firm and thick, The bier must be longer Than the bridge at Mainz.
And twelve giants fetch me, Who shall be even stronger Than St. Christopher the Strong In Cologne Cathedral on the Rhine.
They shall bear off the coffin, And sink it in the sea; For such a big coffin Belongs in a big grave.
Do you know why the coffin Should be so heavy and big I would put my love in And my sorrow too.
Six Chansons
Gabriel Faure
Les berceaux, Op. 23, No. 1
(Rene-Frangois Sully-Prudhomme)
Le long du quai les grands vaisseaux, Que la houle incline en silence, Ne prennent pas garde aux berceaux Que la main des femmes balance.
Mais viendra le jour des adieux, Car il faut que les femmes pleurent, Et que les hommes curieux Tentent les horizons qui leurrent.
Et ce jour-la les grands vaisseaux, Fuyant le port qui diminue, Sentent leur masse retenue Par Tame des lointains berceaux.
Clair de lune, Op. 46, No. 2
(Paul Verlaine)
Votre ame est un paysage choisi Que vont charmant masques
et bergamasques
Jouant du luth et dansant et quasi Tristes sous leurs deguisements fantasques.
Tout en chantant sur le mode mineur L'amour vainqueur et la vie opportune, II n'ont pas l'air de croire a leur
bonheur Et leur chanson se mele au clair de lune,
Au calme clair de lune triste et beau, Qui fait rever les oiseaux dans les arbres Et sangloter d'extase les jets d'eau, Les grands jets d'eau sveltes parmi les marbres.
Six Songs
Along the Quay
Along the quay the great ships, Bending silently with the surge, Take no thought of the cradles, Rocked by the hands of the women.
But the day of parting will come, For it is ordained that women shall weep, And that inquisitive men Shall try the shining horizons.
And on that day the great ships, Leaving the receding harbor, Feel their hulks restrained By the soul of the distant cradles.
Moonlight
Your soul is a rare landscape With charming maskers
and mummers
Playing the lute and dancing, almost Sad beneath their fantastic disguises.
While singing in minor mode
Of victorious love and life in its season,
They do not seem to believe in their
happiness, And their song mingles with the moonlight,
With the calm moonlight, sad and lovely, That sets the birds in the trees to dreaming, And the fountains to sobbing in ecstasy, The great fountains, svelte among the marbles.
En priere
{Stephan Bordtse)
Si la voix d'un enfant peut monter
jusqu'a Vous, O mon Pere,
Ecoutez de Jesus devant Vous a genoux La priere. Si vous m'avez choisi pour enseigner
Vos lois Sur la terre, Je saurai Vous servir, auguste Roi
des Rois,
O Lumiere! j
Sur mes levres, Seigneur, mettez la verity Salutaire, Pour que celui qui doute,
avec humilite, Vous revere! Ne m'abandonnez pas, donnez-moi
la douceur Necessaire,
Pour apaiser les maux, soulager la douleur, La misere! Revelez Vous a moi, Seigneur,
en Qui je crois, Et j'espere, Pour Vous je veux souffrir et mourir
sur la croix, Au Calvaire!
In Prayer
If the voice of a child can reach you,
0 my Father,
Listen to the prayer of Jesus on His knees
Before You.
If You have chosen me to teach
Your laws On the earth,
1 will know how to serve you, holy King
of Kings,
0 Light!
Place on my lips, o Lord,
The salutary truth,
So that whoever doubts, should,
with humility, Revere You! Do not abandon me, give me
the gentleness So necessary,
To relieve the suffering, to alleviate pains, The misery! Reveal Yourself to me, Lord,
in whom I have faith And hope,
1 want to suffer for You and to die
on the Cross, At Calvary!
Apres un r?ve, Op. 7, No. 1
(Romain Bussine)
Dans un sommeil que charmait ton image Je revais le bonheur
ardent mirage, Tes yeux etaient plus doux, ta voix
pure et sonore, Tu rayonnais comme un ciel eclair
par l'aurore;
Tu m'appelais, et je quittais la terre Pour m'enfuir avec toi vers la lumiere, Les cieux pour nous entr'ouvraient
leurs nues, Splendeurs inconnues,
lueurs divines entrevues, He'las! Hdas! triste reveil des songes Je t'appelle, 6 nuit, rends-moi
tes mensonges, Reviens, reviens radieuse, Reviens, 6 nuit mysterieuse!
Prison, Op. 83, No. 1
(Verlaine)
Le ciel est, par-dessus le toit, Si bleu, si calme! Un arbre, par-dessus le toit, Berce sa palme.
La cloche dans le ciel qu'on voit Doucement tinte. Un oiseau sur l'arbre qu'on voit Chante sa plainte.
Mon Dieu, mon dieu, la vie est la, Simple et tranquille. Cette paisible rumeur-la Vient de la ville.
"Qu'as-tu fait, 6 toi que voila Pleurant sans cesse, Dis, qu'as tu fait, toi que voila, De ta jeunesse"
After a Dream
In sleep charmed by your image, I dreamed the glowing
mirage of happiness; Your eyes were more sweet, your voice
pure and rich; You shone like a sky lighted by the
dawn.
You called to me, and I left the earth, To fly with you toward the light. The skies half-opened their clouds
for us, Unknown splendours,
divine lights only glimpsed. Alas! Alas! Sad awakening from dreams; I call to you, o night, give me
back your illusions! Return, return in radiance, Return, o mysterious night!
Prison
The sky, above the roof, Is so blue, so calm! A tree over the roof Waves its branches.
The bell in the sky I can see Is softly ringing. A bird on the tree I can see Sings his sad song.
My God! My God! Life is there, Simple and tranquil. That peaceful sound Comes from the town.
"What have you done, you there, Ceaselessly weeping, Say, what have you done, you there, With your youth"
Mandoline, Op. 58, No. 1
(Verlaine)
Les donneurs de serenades Et les belles ecouteuses Echangent des propos fades Sous les ramures chanteuses.
C'est Tircis et c'est Aminte, Et c'est l'e'ternel Clitandre, Et c'est Damis qui pour mainte Cruelle fait maint vers tendre.
Leurs courtes vestes de soie, Leurs longues robes & queues, Leur elegance, leur joie Et leurs molles ombres bleues
Tourbillonnent dans l'extase D'une lune rose et grise, Et la mandoline jase Parmi les frissons de brise.
Trois Chansons
Henri Duparc
Chanson triste
{Henri Cazalis)
Dans ton coeur dort un clair de lune, Un doux clair de lune d'e'te.
Et pour fuir la vie importune Je me noierai dans ta clarte.
J'oublierai les douleurs passe'es, Mon amour, quand tu berceras
Mon triste coeur et mes pensees Dans le calme aimant de tes bras.
Tu prendras ma tete malade
Oh! quelquefois sur tes genoux,
Et lui diras une ballade
Qui semblera parler de nous,
Et dans tes yeux pleins de tristesses Dans tes yeux alors je boirai
Tant de baisers et de tendresses Que peut-etre je guerirai
Mandolin Serenade
The men serenading And the lovely ladies listening Exchange affected pleasantries Under the singing branches.
Tircis is there and Aminte, And the inevitable Clitandre; And there is Damis, who for many Cruelly makes tender verses.
Their short silk jackets, Their long gowns with trains, Their elegance, their joy And their soft blue shadows
Whirl in the ecstasy Of a rose and gray moon, And the mandolin babbles on In the quiverings of the breeze.
Three Songs Sad Song
In your heart there sleeps a moonlight, A sweet summer moonlight.
And to escape wearisome life
I shall drown myself in your limpidity.
I shall forget my past woes,
My love, when you lull My sad heart and my thoughts
In the loving calm of your arms.
You will take my aching head
Oh, sometimes upon your knees,
And recite to it a ballad
Which will seem to speak of us.
And in your eyes, full of sadness, In your eyes, then, I shall drink
So many kisses and caresses
That perhaps I shall be healed
L'invitation au voyage
(Charles Baudelaire)
Mon enfant, ma soeur,
Songe a la douceur
D'aller la-bas vivre ensemble!
Aimer a loisir,
Aimer et mourir
Au pays qui te ressemble!
Les soleils mouilles
Des ces dels brouilles
Pour mon esprit ont les charmes
Si mysterieux
De tes traitres yeux,
Brillant a travers leurs larmes.
La, tout n'est qu'ordre et beaute, Luxe, calme et volupt?.
Vois sur ces canaux
Dormir ces vaisseaux
Dont l'humeur est vagabonde;
C'est pour assouvir
Ton moindre desir
Qu'ils viennent du bout du
monde.
Les soleils couchants Revetent les champs, Les canaux, la ville entifcre, D'hyacinthe et d'or; Le monde s'endort; Dans une chaude lumiere
La, tout n'est qu'ordre et beaute, Luxe, calme et volupte.
Invitation to the Voyage
My child, my sister,
Dream of the delight
Of going away and living together!
Of loving at leisure
Of loving and dying
In the land that is like you!
The watery suns
Of these murky skies
Hold for my spirit the charms
So mysterious
Of your traitorous eyes,
Shining through their tears.
There all is order and beauty, Splendor, calm and delight.
See on the canals
The ships are asleep
Whose spirit is vagrant;
It is to satisfy
Your slightest desire
That they come from the ends of
the earth. The sinking suns Color the fields, The canals, the entire town With hyacinth and gold; The world is asleep In a warm light.
There all is order and beauty, Splendor, calm and delight.
Le Galop
{Rene-Francois Sully-Prudhomme)
Agite, bon cheval, ta criniere fuyante, Que l'air autour de nous se remplisse
de voix, Que j'entende craquer sous ta
corne bruyante Le gravier des ruisseaux et les debris
des bois.
Aux vapeurs de tes flancs mele ta
chaude haleine, Aux eclairs de tes pieds ton ecume
et ton sang. Cours, comme on voit un aigle,
en effleurant la plaine, Fouetter l'herbe d'un vol sonore
et fremissant.
Allons! Les jeunes gens, a la nage,
a la nage, Crie a ses cavaliers le vieux
chef de tribu, Et les fils du desert respirent
le pillage, Et les chevaux sont fous du grand air
qu'ils ont bu.
Nage ainsi dans l'espace, 6 mon
cheval rapide, Abreuve-moi d'air pur, baigne-moi
dans le vent. L'etrier bat ton ventre, et j'ai
lache la bride. Mon corps te touche a peine, il vole
en te suivant.
Brise tout, le buisson, la barriere
ou la branche. Torrents, fosses, talus, Franchis tout
d'un seul bond. Cours, cours, je reve et sur toi,
les yeux clos, je me penche, Emporte, emporte-moi dans
l'inconnu profond!
The Gallop
Toss your flying mane, good horse, Let the air around us be filled
with voices, Let me hear crackling under your
clattering hoof, The gravel of the streams and the
debris of the woods.
The steam from your flanks mingles
with your hot breath, With the sparks from your feet, your foam
and your blood. Run, as one sees an eagle,
skimming over the plain, Whipping the grass with a sonorous
and trembling flight.
Let's go! Young men, into the
water, into the water The old chief of the tribe cries to
the horsemen, And the sons of the desert smell
the plunder, And the horses are mad with the
great air they have drunk.
Swim thus in space, oh my
swift horse, Let me drink of the pure air, bathe
me in the wind. The stirrup beats your belly, and I
have loosened the bridle. My body scarcely touches you, it
flies while following you.
Break everything, the brush, the
barrier, the branch. Torrents, ditches, embankments,
crossed with a single leap. Run, run, I dream and over you,
eyes closed, I lean, Carry me, carry me into the
profound unknown.
Chansons gaillardes
Francis Poulenc {Anonymous)
La maitresse volage
Ma maitresse est volage, Mon rival est heureux; S'il a son pucelage, C'est qu'elle en avait deux.
Et vogue la galere,
Tant qu'elle pourra voguer.
Chanson a boire
Les rois d'Egypte et de Syrie, Voulaient qu'on embaumat leurs corps, Pour durer plus longtemps morts. Quelle folie!
Buvons done selon notre envie, II faut boire et reboire encore. Buvons done toute notre vie, Embaumons-nous avant la mort.
Embaumons-nous;
Que ce baume est doux.
Madrigal
Vous etes belle comme un ange, Douce comme un petit mouton; II n'est point de coeur, Jeanneton, Qui sous votre loi ne se range. Mais une fille sans tetons Est une perdrix sans orange.
Invocation aux parques
Je jure, tant que je vivrai,
De vous aimer, Sylvie.
Parques, qui dans vos mains tenez
Le fil de notre vie,
Allongez, tant que vous pourrez,
Le mien, je vous en prie.
Ribald Songs
The Fickle Mistress
My mistress is fickle, My rival is fortunate; If he has her virginity, She must have had two.
Let's chance our luck As long as it will last.
Drinking Song
The kings of Egypt and Syria, Wished to have their bodies embalmed, To last for a longer time dead. What folly!
Let us drink then as we will, We must drink and drink again. Let us drink our whole life long, Embalm ourselves before death.
Embalm ourselves;
Since this balm is sweet.
Madrigal
You are as beautiful as an angel,
Sweet as a little lamb;
There is not a heart, Jeanneton,
That has not fallen beneath your spell.
But a girl without bosom
Is a partridge without orange.
Invocation to the Fates
I swear, as long as I shall live, To love you, Sylvie. Fates, who hold in your hands The thread of our life, Extend, as long as you can, Mine, I beg you.

Why marry,
When the wives of others Need no persuasion To become ours.
When their ardours, When their favours, Seek our tirelires, Seek our tourelours, Seek our hearts.

The four composers featured on tonight's program share an impor?tant distinction: whether they wrote in many diverse genres, as Schumann did, or, at the other end of the spectrum, restricted them?selves--like Duparc--to song writing exclu?sively, it is through their vocal music that these four individuals present themselves most clearly. If you want to learn how to play a Faure violin sonata or conduct a Poulenc opera, study their songs!
I
In addition to providing us with melodies of inestimable beauty and intense, diverse expressions, the three hundred songs of Robert Schumann are historically indispens?able. Let us construct the context in which we can best appreciate this fact: approxi?mately thirty years earlier, Franz Schubert had virtually re-invented the song itself. By raising the piano accompaniment to a descriptive level which remains unsurpassed even today, and with lyrical outpourings for the voice that immediately capture the essence of whichever poem he chose, Schubert created the lied as we know it. Thirty years after Schumann, Hugo Wolf began to craft songs the way Wagner crafted operas, with voice and accompaniment so fused, so braided together that the division of responsibility became undetectable. The mid-point of this sixty-year bridge, indeed the fulcrum that allowed its progress to con?tinue unabated, was Robert Schumann and his lieder. Schubert always chooses melody; Wolf always honors text. Schumann helps himself to both philosophies, now one, now the other, achieving amazing comfort in both.
If the sixteen songs of Dichterliebe, Op. 48, were all we had from Schumann, this would be enough to demonstrate the
important bridge he represents for this genre. In half the songs (nos. 1, 5, 6,9, 10, 12, 14, and 16), the voice seems to accompa?ny the piano. The keyboard part tells us nearly all we need to know about the poem. In the others, melody may be wholly absent from the piano part, and only with the addition of the voice, using highly com?plex and specific rhythms for individual words, can the poem's message truly be expressed.
Schumann was particularly fond of the song-cycle, and the notion of working out a plot, dealing with the exigencies of nine?teenth-century romance, and coming to some sense of resolution psychologically, allowed him to do his finest work. Perhaps his own struggles, first to win Clara, later to deal with his own illness and approaching madness, allowed him to understand the troubled feelings of his favorite poets Eichendorff, Riickert, and of course, Heine, whose texts we hear this evening. The year 1840 saw the creation of the five most important cycles of Schumann, and this explosion of lieder--after a decade of piano pieces but nothing for the voice--has left us indisputably richer and grateful for this "Year of Song," as it is often called.
A unique trademark of the Schumann song, and nowhere more evident than in Dichterliebe, is the piano's postlude or epilogue. Whereas other composers may use these final measures to sum up what has been said, or perhaps to remind us of how the song began, Schumann often tells us things that go unverbalized during the song itself. The piano may sift through memories, or experience new emotions, even negate what the singer has just said, or embark on a new course of action...these are just a few events which may occur in a postlude by Schumann. The zenith of this technique is apparent in the ending of both Frauenliebe und -Leben, Op. 42 and tonight's offering as well. In both, the pianist has a full page of
solo music to illustrate the singer's psyche for us in sound. Often previous melodies are quoted; often, new music is needed for a new chapter yet to be lived, as is the case with Dichterliebe. The pianist is thrust abruptly into the spotlight, and must cope with the responsibility of articulating the inarticulatable; but where is the pianist who does not love this challenge
II
French song began to blossom only in the middle of the nineteenth century, well after its German counterpart. Berlioz and Gounod, unlike their predecessors, insisted on poems
of elegance and quality, and dressed their texts in music
with a high degree of sophistication and wit. But it was for Gabriel Faure to inherit these first steps and to eventually elevate the French melodie to its
' rightful place. Faure is known for his short piano
pieces, his chamber music with
strings and piano, but above all, for his songs. He held classical Greek architecture and art in the highest esteem, and made it his mission to remove romantic excess and sentimentality from French music, instilling a love of purity and simplicity in their place, much as Gluck had done a century earlier.
Faure had three distinct periods of composition, and as we follow his progress throughout his long life, it is easy to detect and appreciate the changes each peri?od brought. He begins with romantic, slightly sentimental but touching romances, advances to a world unique to himself, a world of exotic harmonic manipulation and the subtlest of melodic gestures, and finally enters the twentieth century with a rather
austere, streamlined way of writing which would seem dry compared to the preceding periods. Tonight, although not in chrono?logical order, we hear songs from the first two of these three periods. The earliest of these six songs is Apres un rive (1878) and one is struck immediately by its intense lyri?cism, its exploitation of vocal gesture in its melismatic writing, and the modesty of the piano's role. The song that immediately fol?lows is the latest composed of the set. In Prison, melismas are altogether absent, and the bitter cynicism of the text is captured perfectly. (Verlaine was deep in a self-destructive love affair that was to eventually ruin his life.) Apres un r&ve has lovely har?monies, but not shocking ones; Prison tex?tures intense chromaticism and defies easy analysis, and yet the experience strikes our ears as altogether simpler and purer, for we are seared by its economy. Also contained within this song set are examples of songs from the middle of Faure's career--Clair de lune and Mandoline--two of Verlaine's most elegant poems, words which strive to recre?ate the courtly, charming world of a century earlier as depicted in paintings by Fragonard and Watteau. Faure follows the poet's mis?sion perfectly, choosing first a minuet for piano solo with a vocal descant, and for Mandoline, a witty and decorative madrigal, sophisticated melismas sung over the constant chatter of the keyboard. En priere sounds earlier than it actually is, suc?ceeding in suggesting a vulnerable child's voice of supplication to Heaven. The group's first song, Les berceaux, is a much earlier song, but a perfect example of a consistent trait in Faure's songs. This composer is rarely interested in painting individual words or events; his style is to create an envelope into which the whole poem can easily fit. The rocking accompaniment first describes ships straining at their moorings, and then cradles rocked by anxious moth?ers--both captured expertly in the same ges?ture.

Henri Duparc's name is primarily known to lovers of French song. His entire published output consists solely of sixteen solo songs and one duet. A few works have been lost or were destroyed by the composer, but these too were pieces for voice. And yet, despite such a small quantity of music, Duparc is inevitably included on the shortest lists of important French composers. This is only possible because of the extraordinary quali?ty of these remaining few gems. Unlike Faure who resisted any foreign influence, particularly anything Germanic, Duparc was fascinated by the music of Wagner. He made several trips to Bayreuth, and speaks in his diary of his extreme joy at a chance meeting with the titanic maestro. Duparc maintains a firm allegiance to French lyricism and to the balance of a melody so crucial to Gallic tastes, and somehow combines these with a rich chromaticism that bespeaks his Wagnerian allegiance. The composer has orchestrated many of the sixteen songs, and
one hears instrumental colors and tex?tures throughout Duparc's work. We are fortunate tonight, for Mr. van Dam has long been a champion of Duparc's songs, and is the first noteworthy artist to record all of them.
Chanson triste is Duparc's earliest published song. Wide, arching vocal lines are underpinned with a harp-like accom?paniment, producing a feeling of sponta-
neous lyricism. The song's title is a bit of a misnomer, for this poem speaks only of hope, gratitude, and optimism. Baudelaire's exotic and erotic words provide the spark for the second song, L'invitation au voyage, written two years later in 1870. Seductive, even dangerous harmonic manipulation is very appropriate here to create the luxury and sensuality included in the invitation. The wedding of Duparc's music and Baudelaire's words only occurs in two songs,
but it is no less important than the Faure'-Verlaine fusion spoken of earlier. Lastly, we hear a rarity, Le Galop, which became avail?able only in a 1995 publication of Duparc's complete oeuvre. A rather Germanic song, this horse-riding saga is a first cousin to the ballads of Schubert and Loewe.
IV
We cannot see into the future, but from our present perspective Poulenc serves to complete the evolution of the French melodie begun a century earlier by Berlioz. And again, it is in his songs that the hall?marks of his style can be found most easily. A gifted pianist with enormous hands, Poulenc has left pianists with formi?dable technical challenges in his accompani?ments. His instructions for pedaling are as much part of his compositions as the notes themselves, and create a whole new flavor of
intermingled sonorities for the
listener. Having found a text, Poulenc would recite it
over and over, often living with a poem for a year or more, until precisely the correct prosody present?ed itself to him, or per?haps a melodic twist that
underlined an ironic or
expressive moment. Poulenc's
whole generation was reacting
vigorously against romanticism, against impressionism, against symbolism. They preferred to state their ideas clearly and sim?ply, thus laying the cornerstone for the birth of neoclassicism in the twentieth century.
"I detest dirty stories, but I adore obscenity." This interesting and provocative statement by Francis Poulenc would perhaps explain his choice of these eight poems from a seventeenth-century book he found by chance, thus creating one of his signature
works: the Chansons gailliardes or Ribald Songs, composed in 1926. Pierre Bernac, the creator of this cycle, and indeed for most of the Poulenc songs for male voice, always cautioned against printing translations of these texts outside France. (Thus, reader, consider yourself forewarned and fore?armed!) There is no vulgarity in the music, however. Poulenc approaches these texts with great straightforwardness, candor, and respect. The result is quintessential Poulenc and provides a permanent fixture in any baritone's French repertoire.
Program notes by Martin Katz.
An acclaimed concert, oratorio, opera and lieder singer, Belgium native Jose" van Dam is one of today's most renowned and requested interpreters of the bass-baritone repertoire. He has been heard in all of the music capitals throughout Europe, North and South America and Japan, singing at opera houses and concert halls under many of the world's preeminent conductors.
Highlights of Jose van Dam's 199899 season included his aforementioned con?certs in Boston (an exclusive US engage?ment) and performances of Tosca and Falstaff in France, Carmen in Monte Carlo, Don Giovanni in Paris and The Damnation of Faust in Luxembourg.
A highly sought after recitalist, Mr. van Dam has traveled to the US in recent sea?sons for performances at Orchestra Hall in Chicago, Carnegie Hall in New York and in Boston, Los Angeles and Fort Worth. His engagements in Europe included Gianni Schicchi in Brussels, The Damnation of Faust in Geneva, Man of La Mancha in Liege; recitals in France and Spain; and on a tour of Japan he sang in Pelleas et Melisande. In Salzburg, in the summer of 1998, he sang in Messiaen's St. Francois d'Assise, a part for
which he has won much acclaim.
Further highlights of recent seasons include the role of Mephistopheles in Berlioz' The Damnation of Faust with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra at Carnegie Hall in New York; Mahler Songs with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra and with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Pierre Boulez, Mr. van Dam performed songs by Ravel and Mahler. Other credits include appearances at the San Francisco Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, and the Metropolitan Opera where he has per?formed in several productions, including Pelleas et Melisande, The Tales of Hoffmann, The Marriage of Figaro and Der Fliegende Hollaender. He sang recitals in Montreal and Toronto and performed with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
Jose van Dam is regularly invited to, and has performed at, the most esteemed opera houses and festivals in the world including Opera de Paris, Covent Garden, La Scala in Milan, Vienna State Opera, Deutsche Oper Berlin, the Metropolitan Opera, the Theatre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels, Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires, the Salzburg Festival (Easter and summer) and festivals in Aix-en-Provence and Orange, France. He has appeared in numerous operas in these loca?tions portraying Falstaff, Wozzeck, Simon Boccanegra, Philip II (Don Carlo), Don Giovanni, the four villains in The Tales of Hoffmann, Boris Godunov, Sachs (Die Meistersinger von Niirnberg), Amfortas (Parsifal), the Flying Dutchman, Jochanaan (Salome), Mephisto (Gounod's Faust), and Berlioz' The Damnation of Faust. Recently he has sung, most successfully, his first Scarpia in Tosca, the title role in Gianni Schicchi and Selim in Turco in Italia. In 1983 he created the title part in the world premiere of Oliver Messiaen's St. Francois d'Assise at the Paris Opera, and later was equally acclaimed for this role in the Peter Sellars production at the 1992 Salzburg Festival.
Born in Brussels, Jose van Dam entered the Brussels Conservatory at age seventeen, graduating a year later with diplomas and first prize in voice and opera performance. Within a few years he had gained four prizes in competitions, winning the International Bel Canto Competition in Liege, the International Competition "Ecole des Vedettes" in Paris, the International Competition of Song of Toulouse, and the International Music Competition in Geneva. Mr. van Dam made his operatic debut in Liege as Don Basilio in Rossini's II Barbiere di Siviglia and subsequently performed the role of the Toreador Escamillo in Bizet's Carmen at Milan's La Scala, in Paris and at Covent Garden in London. Lorin Maazel heard Mr. van Dam and invited him to record Ravel's L'Heure Espagnole for Deutsche Grammophon with him and then asked him to join the Deutsche Oper in West Berlin where Mr. van Dam sang his first leading role.
The art of Jose van Dam can be heard on an extensive discography. His most recent releases are Die Meistersinger von
Niirnberg, conducted by Sir Georg Solti and Berlioz' Les Nuits d'ete, Serge Baudo con?ducting. Among his other recent recordings are Gounod's Faust, Oedipe by Enescu, Don Quichotte for EMI France and Pelleas et Melisande with Claudio Abbado (DGG), all of which have been honored with awards. He can be heard in the title role in Le Nozze di Figaro (Philips), in Carmen, conducted by Sir Georg Solti, Berlioz' Romeo et Juliette with the Boston Symphony under Seiji Ozawa and Simon Boccanegra with Claudio Abbado conducting La Scala Orchestra. He can also be heard in performances of Cosi fan tutte and Strauss' Salome with the Vienna Philharmonic and, with the Berlin Philharmonic and Herbert von Karajan, Beethoven's Fidelio and Symphony No. 9, Brahms' German Requiem, Bruckner's Te Deum, Mozart's Requiem and Coronation Mass, Debussy's Pelleas et Melisande and Wagner's Parsifal. He is a two-time Grammy Winner: in 1992 for principal soloist in "Best Opera Recording" (Richard Strauss' Die Frau ohne Schatten) and in 1985 for a recording of the songs of Maurice Ravel, with Pierre Boulez conducting the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
Jose van Dam was named a Baron by His Majesty Albert II of Belgium. Previously, the city of Berlin honored him with the title of "Kammersanger" and for his extraordinary interpretations on stage and on records, he has received the following awards: German Music Critics' Prize (1974), Gold Medal of the Belgian Press (1976), Grand Prix de VAcademie Francaise du Disque (1979), Orphee d'Or of the Academie Lyrique Francaise (1980), European Critics' Prize for his interpretation of the title part in St. Francois d'Assise in Paris (1985), Diapason d'Or and Prix de la Nouvelle Academie du Disque (1993) as well as the Orphee d'Or de VAcademie du Disque Lyrique (1994).

Tonight's recital marks Jose van Dam's UMS debut.
Pianist Maciej Pikulski was born in Poland, where he began his musical studies at the Krakow Conservatory. He continued his studies at the Superior National Conservatory of Music in Paris, where he was unanimously awarded first prize in piano studies, as well as first prizes in both chamber music and vocal accompaniment.
A student of Dominiquo Merlet, Mr. Pikulski continued his work as soloist with Clive Britton, himself a former pupil of Claudio Arrau. He also studied with Jacques Rouvier, Pascal Devoyon and Dimitri Bashkirov. Among his other influences are Charles Spencer, Martin Isepp, and Paul von Shilavski. Mr Pikulski has performed in recital, with orchestra and at festivals in England, France, Poland, Belgium, Italy and Russia. His solo recordings include Rachmaninoff Concerto No. 2 (in a limited edition), completed by works of Liszt and Chopin.
Inspired by the vocal repertoire, Mr. Pikulski studied lieder with Sylvaine Billier and Udo Reinemann. Subsequently, his accompanying talent was in tremendous demand in France and beyond, leading to performances with Renee Fleming, Felicity Dott, Udo Reinemann, Thierry Felix, Edith Wiens and Maria Baio.
Bass-baritone Jose van Dam recognizes Mr. Pikulski's remarkable talent, and since 1993, Mr. Pikulski has been the exclusive accompanist of the renowned singer, per-
forming together in the world's most presti?gious theaters and concert halls (La Scala in Milan, Carnegie Hall in New York, Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires, Theatre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels and the Theatre des Chempe Elysees in Paris). Together, these artists give life to Henri Duparc's melodies in recitals in Portugal, Spain, Greece, Switzerland and Argentina. They also recorded two CDs devoted to the works of Duparc and BrahmsWolf.
Tonight's recital marks Made] Pikulski's UMS debut.

Taking the Imaginary Seriously
Director Andrei Serban's Notes on The King Stag
M
y production, The King Stag at the A.R.T., formed part of my "year of Gozzi," begun with Puccini's opera Turandot, which was presented at the Olympic Arts Festival in Los Angeles and remounted for the opening of the Covent Garden season in London, and followed with a production of Prokofiev's opera based on The Love of Three Oranges in Geneva. The theatre of Carlo Gozzi seems to me an important point of reference and, in any case, the source to which I had to return in order to unravel the threads of theatrical?ity that the opera composers set in motion with their music. Here an opposition comes into play, embodied at one time in the quar?rels of Gozzi and Goldoni, and renewed at the turn of the century in the quarrels of Meyerhold and Stanislavski. (Meyerhold took Gozzi as his master, and even entitled the publication in which he set forth his theatrical theory, The Love of Three Oranges.) It is well known how fundamental this quarrel has been ever since for the choices that have been made in the contem?porary theatre. What Gozzi wanted to affirm is that the theatre's truth exists only within the theatre; that the theatre's function is not to copy or mimic any sort of reality; and that naturalism is a perversion of art. This is obviously equally true of opera, which is in its very essence an art of convention and of imagination--by the simple fact that in opera one expresses oneself in song.
Gozzi's scenarios represent first and foremost an homage to the theatre, to art-and the power of art that can create laugh-
ter, healthy and athletic laughter, that can heal--an homage to this intentional game that engages the imagination, the emotions, the intellect, and longing. For this reason we must play it truthfully, which means that we must not at any price undercut the joyous craziness of the work with a true-to-life lie that would be contrary to its nature. We must take the imaginary seriously, in its extreme creative liberty. For if the theoreti?cal reference point of this theatre is Meyerhold, its poetical reference point is Magritte: this great joy of surrealism that must lead to a very naive style of playing, like that of children's theatre, almost like a "Punch and Judy" show. It is also a matter of going back to the primary function, that of the medieval mysteries, which makes of it much more than a simple, silly diversion, but rather the actual staging of theatre in its very essence. The choice of the set in the form of a ring is to underline this image of the theatre-within-the-theatre. The game-

playing function in this setup is counterbal?anced by the presence of "spectators" who, from the "upper gallery," watch over the characters of the fable; a disturbing presence is superimposed on the parody. So it's a

kind of irrational windmill spinning about, mixing the comic, the absurd, the grating, and the irritating in an invented reality that is joyous and sparkling. Here the theatre is king, joy bursts forth, gestures crackle, agi?tated by a kind of organic pulsation that must be made to surge from the story--per?haps finding, along the way, the path to the "biomechanics" that Meyerhold talks about; in other words, something like an energy, a pattern of rhythms, a system of gestures. If the mill of images and sounds works right, the audience will feel pulled into this great wheel of made-up reality--into laughter. The King is also the audience.

Nuit d'Etoiles
Claude Debussy
(Theodore Faullin de Banville)
Nuit d'e'toiles, sous tes voiles,
Sous ta brise et tes parfums,
Triste lyre qui soupire,
Je reve aux amours defunts.
La sereine melancolie
Vient ?clore au fond de mon coeur,
Et j'entends Tame de ma mie
Tressaillir dans le bois reveur.
Je revois a notre fontaine
Tes regards bleus comme les cieux;
Cette rose, c'est ton haleine,
Et ces 6toiles sont tes yeux.
Apres un rfrve, Op. 7, No. 1 Gabriel Faure' (Romain Bussine)
Dans un sommeil que charmait ton image, Je revais le bonheur
ardent mirage; Tes yeux 6taient plus doux, ta voix
pure et sonore, Tu rayonnais comme un ciel eclaire1
par l'aurore.
Tu m'appelais, et je quittais la terre, Pour m'enfuir avec toi vers la lumiere. Les cieux pour nous entr'ouvraient
leurs nues, Splendeurs inconnues,
lueurs divines entrevues. Helas! Helas! triste reveil des songes Je t'appelle, 6 nuit, rends-moi
tes mensonges! Reviens, reviens radieuse, Reviens, 6 nuit myste'rieuse!
Three French Melodies
Night of Stars
Night of stars, beneath your veils,
Amid your breezes and your scents,
While a sad lyre is sighing,
1 dream of my late loves.
Serene melancholy
Suddenly unfolds at the bottom of my heart,
And I sense the soul of my beloved
Trembling in the dreaming forest.
I see again, in our fountain,
Your glances blue as the skies;
This rose, it is your breath,
And these stars are your eyes.
After a Dream
In sleep charmed by your image, I dreamed the glowing
mirage of happiness; Your eyes were more sweet, your voice
pure and rich; You shone like a sky lighted by the
dawn.
You called to me, and I left the earth, To fly with you toward the light. The skies half-opened their clouds
for us, Unknown splendours,
divine lights only glimpsed. Alas! Alas! Sad awakening from dreams; I call to you, o night, give me
back your illusions! Return, return in radiance, Return, o mysterious night!
Automne, Op. 18, No. 3
Faure
{Armand Silvestre)
Automne au ciel brumeux,
aux horizons navrants, Aux rapides couchants, aux aurores palies, Je regarde couler comme l'eau du torrent, Tes jours faits de melancolie. Sur l'aile des regrets, mes esprits emportes, Comme s'il se pouvait que notre age renaisse, Parcourent en revant les coteaux enchantes, Oil, jadis, sourit ma jeunesse! Je sens au clair soleil du
vainqueur, Refleurir en bouquet
les roses deiiees, Et monter a mes yeux des larmes,
qu'en mon coeur Mes vingt ans avaient oubliees!
Autumn
Autumn of misty skies,
of heart-rending horizons, Of hasty sunsets, of pale dawns, I see flowing like the waters of a torrent, Your days filled with melancholy. My thoughts, carried away on wings of regret, As if our lifetime could be reborn, Roam dreaming through the enchanted hills, Where, in days gone by, my youth delighted! I feel in the bright sunlight of souvenir
triumphant recollections, The scattered roses blooming again
in a bouquet, And I feel tears rising to my eyes,
which in my heart My twenty years had forgotten!

Trinklied, D. 888
(Ferdinand Mayerhofer von Griinbiihel)
Bacchus, feister Fiirst des Weins, Komm mit Augen hellen Scheins, Uns're Sorg' ersauf' dein Fass, Und dein Laub uns kronen lass. Full' uns, bis die Welt sich dreht! Full' uns, bis die Welt sich dreht!
Standchen, D. 889
{Friedrich Reil)
Horch, horch, die Lerch' im Atherblau!
Und Phobus, neu erweckt,
Trankt seine Rosse mit dem Tau,
Der Blumenkelche deckt.
Der Ringelblume Knospe schleufit
Die goldnen Auglein auf;
Mit allem, was da reizend heifit,
Du stifie Maid, steh aufi
Drinking Song
Come thou monarch of the vine, Plumpy Bacchus, with pink eyne! In thy fats our cares be drown'd With thy grapes our hairs be crown'd Cup us 'till the world go round! Cup us 'till the world go round!
Serenade
Hark, hark, the lark in the blue of heaven!
And Phoebus, newly awakened,
Waters his steeds with the dew
That lies on chaliced flowers.
The marigold bud opens
It's little golden eyes;
Along with every lovely thing,
Sweet maid, arise!
AnSUvia,D.891
(Eduard von Bauernfeld)
Was ist Silvia, saget an, DaB sie die weite Flur preist Schon und zart seh ich sie nahn; Auf Himmelsgunst und Spur weist, Dafi ihr alles untertan.
Ist sie schon und gut dazu Reiz labt wie milde Kindheit; Ihrem Aug' eilt Amor zu, Dort heilt er seine Blindheit Und verweilt in siifier Ruh'.
Darum Silvia, ton, o Sang, Der holden Silvia Ehren; Jeden Reiz besiegt sie lang, Den Erde kann gewahren: Kranze ihr und Saitenklang!
To Sylvia
What is Sylvia, tell me, That the wide meadow extols her I see her approach, fair and tender; A sign of heaven's favor is That all are subject to her.
Is she kind as well as fair
Refreshing are her gentle childlike charms;
Cupid hastens to her eyes,
There to cure his blindness
And linger in sweet peace.
Then, O song, resound to Sylvia,
To fair Sylvia's glory;
Long has she acquired every grace
That earth can bestow:
Bring her garlands and the sound of strings!

Liebesbotschaft
(Ludwig Rellstab)
Rauschendes Bachlein, so silbern und hell, Eilst zur Geliebten so
munter und schnell Ach, trautes Bachlein, mein Bote sei du; Bringe die Griifie des Fernen ihr zu.
All ihre Blumen im Garten gepflegt, Die sie so lieblich am Busen tragt, Und ihre Rosen in purpurner Glut, Bachlein, erquicke mit kiihlender Flut.
Wenn sie am Ufer, in Traume versenkt, Meiner gedenkend, das Kopfchen hangt, Troste die SiiBe mit freundlichem Blick, Denn der Geliebte kehrt bald zuriick.
Neigt sich die Sonne mit rotlichem Schein, Wiege das Liebchen in Schlummer ein. Rausche sie murmelnd in
sufie Ruh, Fliistre ihr Traume der Liebe zu.
Love's Message
Murmuring brook, so silver and bright, Do you hasten, so lively and swift,
to my beloved
Ah, sweet brook, be my messenger; Bring her greetings from her distant lover.
All the flowers, tended in her garden, Which she wears so charmingly on her breast, And her roses in their crimson glow, Refresh them, brooklet, with your cooling waters.
When on your banks she inclines her head, Lost in dreams, thinking of me, Comfort my sweetheart with a kindly glance, For her beloved will soon return.
When the sun sinks in a red flush,
Lull my sweetheart to sleep.
With your soft murmurings bring her
sweet repose, And whisper dreams of love.
Das Fischermadchen
(Heinrich Heine)
Du schones Fischermadchen, Treibe den Kahn ans Land; Komm zu mir und setze dich nieder, Wir kosen Hand in Hand.
Leg an mein Herz dein Kopfchen, Und furchte dich nicht zu sehr; Vertraust du dich doch sorglos Taglich dem wilden Meer.
Mein Herz gleicht ganz dem Meere, Hat Sturm und Ebb' und Flut; Und manche scheme Perle In seiner Tiefe ruht.
Der Doppelganger
(Heinrich Heine)
Still ist die Nacht, es ruhen die Gassen; In diesem Hause wohnte mein Schatz. Sie hat schon langst die Stadt verlassen, Doch steht noch das Haus auf demselben Platz.
Da steht auch ein Mensch und starrt in die Hohe, Und ringt die Hande vor Schmerzensgewalt; Mir graust es, wenn ich sein Antlitz sehe-Der Mond zeigt mir meine eigne Gestalt. Du Doppelganger, du bleicher Geselle! Was affst du nach mein Liebesleid, Das mich gequalt auf dieser Stelle so manche Nacht, in alter Zeit
Die Taubenpost
{Johann Gabriel Seidl)
Ich hab'eine Brieftaub in meinem Sold, Die ist ergeben und treu; Sie nimmt mir nie das Ziel zu kurz, Und fliegt auch nie vorbei.
Ich sende sie viel tausendmal Auf Kundschaft taglich hinaus, Vorbei an manchem lieben Ort, Bis zu der Liebsten Haus.
Dort schaut sie zum Fenster heimlich hinein, Belauscht ihren Blick und Schritt, Gibt meine GriiBe scherzend ab, Und nimmt die ihren mit.
The Fisher Maiden
Lovely fisher maiden,
Guide your boat to the shore;
Come and sit beside me,
And hand in hand we'll talk of love.
Lay your little head on my heart, And do not be too afraid; For each day you trust yourself Without fear to the turbulent sea.
My heart is just like the sea,
It has its storms, its ebbs and flows;
And many a lovely pearl
Rests in its depths.
The Wraith
The night is still, the streets are at rest;
In this house lived my sweetheart.
She has long since left town,
But the house still stands on the self-same spot.
A man stands there too,
staring up,
And wringing his hands in anguish; I shudder when I see his face-The moon shows me my own form. You wraith, pallid companion! Why do you ape the pain of my love Which tormented me on this very spot, So many a night, in days long past
Pigeon Post
I have a carrier-pigeon in my pay, Devoted and true; She never stops short of her goal And never flies too far.
Each day I send her out
A thousand times on reconnaissance,
Past many a beloved spot,
To my sweetheart's house.
There she peeps furtively in at the window, Observing her every look and step, Conveys my greeting breezily, And brings hers back to me.
Kein Briefchen brauch ich zu schreiben mehr, Die Trane selbst geb ich ihr; Oh sie vertragt sie sicher nicht, Gar eifrig dient sie mir.
Bei Tag, bei Nacht, im Wachen, im Traum, Ihr gilt das alles gleich; Wenn sie nur wandern, wandern kann, Dann ist sie iiberreich.
Sie wird nicht miid, sie wird nicht matt, Der Weg ist stets ihr neu; Sie braucht nicht Lockung, braucht nich Lohn, Die Taub ist so mir treu.
Drum heg ich sie auch so treu an der Brust,
Versichert des schonsten Gewinns;
Sie heiBt--die Sehnsucht!
kennt ihr sie
Die Botin treuen Sinns.
I no longer need to write a note,
I can give her my very tears;
She will certainly not deliver them wrongly,
So eagerly does she serve me.
Day or night, awake or dreaming, It is all the same to her; As long as she can roam She is richly contented.
She never grows tired or faint, The route is always fresh to her; She needs no enticement or reward, So true is this pigeon to me.
That's why I cherish her as truly in my heart,
Certain of the fairest prize;
Her name is--Longing!
Do you know her
The messenger of constancy.
Three Songs
Robert Schumann
Venezianische Lied I, from Myrthen, Op. 25 Venetian Song I
(Thomas Moore)
Leis' ruder hier,
Mein Gondolier,
Leis', leis'!
Die Flut vom Ruder spriihn,
So leise lafi,
DaK sie uns nur vernimmt,
Zu der wir ziehn!
O konnte, wie er schauen kann,
Der Himmel reden traun,
Er sprache vieles wohl von dem,
Was nachts die Sterne schaun!
Leis'!
Nun rasten hier,
Mein Gondolier;
Sacht, sacht!
Ins Boot die Ruder! sacht, sacht!
Auf zum Balkone schwing' ich mich,
Doch du haltst unten Wacht.
O wollten halb so eifrig nur
Dem Himmel wir uns weihn,
Als schoner Weiber Diensten traun,
Wir konnten Engel sein! Sacht!
Row gently here,
My gondolier,
Gently! Gently!
So softly wake the tide,
That not an ear
On earth may hear,
But hers to whom we glide!
Had Heaven but tongues to speak, as well
As he has starry eyes to see,
Oh, think what tales 'twould have to tell
Of wand'ring youths like me!
Gently!
Now rest thee here,
My gondolier;
Hush, hush, for up I go!
To climb yon light
Balcony's height
While thou keep'st watch below.
Ah! did we take for Heaven above
But half such pains as we
Take, day and night, for women's love,
What Angels we should be!
Venetianische Lied II
Wenn durch die Piazzetta Die Abendluft weht, Dann weifit du, Ninetta, Wer wartend hier steht. Du weifit, wer trotz Schleier
und Maske dich kennt, Wie Amor die Venus
am Nachtfirmament.
Ein Schifferldeid trag' ich Zur selbigen Zeit, Und zitternd dir sag' ich: "Das Boot liegt bereit! O komm, wo den Mond
noch Wolken umziehn, Lafi durch die Lagunen, mein Leben, uns fliehn!"
Die beiden Grenadiere, Op. 49, No. 1
(Heine)
Nach Frankreich zogen zwei Grenadier', Die waren in RuSland gefangen. Und als sie kamen ins deutsche Quartier, Sie liefien die Kopfe hangen.
Da horten sie beide die traurige Mar: Dafi Frankreich verloren gegangen, Besiegt und geschlagen das tapfere Heer-Und der Kaiser, der Kaiser gefangen.
Da weinten zusammen die Grenadier' Wohl ob der klaglichen Kunde. Der eine sprach: "Wie weh wird mir, Wie brennt meine alte Wunde!"
Der andre sprach: "Das Lied ist aus, Auch ich mocht' mit dir sterben, Doch hab' ich Weib und Kind zu Haus, Die ohne mich verderben."
"Was schert mich Weib, was schert mich Kind Ich trage weit besser Verlangen; Lafi sie betteln gehn, wenn sie hungrig sind-Mein Kaiser, mein Kaiser gefangen!
Gewahr mir, Bruder, eine Bitt':
Wenn ich jetzt sterben werde,
So nimm meine Leiche nach Frankreich mit,
Begrab mich in Frankreichs Erde.
Venetian Song II
When through the Piazzetta Night breathes her cool air, Then, dearest Ninetta, I'll come to thee there. Beneath thy mask shrouded,
I'll know thee afar, As Love knows, though clouded,
his own Evening Star.
In garb, then, resembling Some gay gondolier, I'll whisper thee, trembling: "Our bark, love, is near! Now, now, while there hover
those clouds o'er the moon, 'Twill waft thee safe over you silent Lagoon!"
The Two Grenadiers
To France were trudging two grenadiers Who had been taken captive in Russia, And as they came to the German quarters They hung their heads in sorrow.
There they heard the grievous news That France had been lost, Her valiant army defeated and shattered-And the Emperor, the Emperor captured.
Then the grenadiers wept together
At these sorry tidings.
Once said, "Alas! alas!
My old wound is burning!"
The other said, "This is the end; I would gladly die with you, But I've a wife and child at home Who without me will perish."
"What care I for wife or child My thoughts are on greater things; Let them beg if they are hungry-My Emperor, my Emperor is captured!
Grant me brother, one favor: If I am now to die, Take my body to France with you And bury me in French soil.
Das Ehrenkreuz am roten Band Sollst du aufs Herz mir legen; Die Flinte gib mir in die Hand, Und giirt mir urn den Degen.
So will ich liegen und horchen still, Wie eine Schildwach', im Grabe, Bis einst ich hore Kanonengebriill Und wiehernder Rosse Getrabe.
Dann reitet mein Kaiser wohl
iiber mein Grab,
Viel Schwerter klirren und blitzen; Dann steig' ich gewaffnet hervor
aus dem Grab-Den Kaiser, den Kaiser zu schutzen!"
Lay on my heart my cross Of honor on it's red riband; Put my musket in my hand, And gird my sword about me.
So, like a sentry, will I lie In my grave, silently listening Until one day I hear the cannons' roar And the trot of neighing horses.
Then my Emperor will ride
over my grave,
Many swords will clash and flash; Then, fully armed, I will rise
from my grave-To defend my Emperor, my Emperor!"
A Shropshire Lad (excerpts)
George Butterworth (Alfred Edward Housman)
Loveliest of Trees
Loveliest of trees, the cherry now Is hung with bloom along the bough, And stands about the woodland ride Wearing white for Eastertide.
Now, of my three-score years and ten, Twenty will not come again, And take from seventy springs a score, It only leaves me fifty more.
And since to look at things in bloom Fifty springs are little room, About the woodlands I will go To see the cherry hung with snow.
When I was one-and-twenty
When I was one-and-twenty
I heard a wise man say,
"Give crowns and pounds and guineas
But not your heart away;
Give pearls away and rubies
But keep your fancy free."
But I was one-and-twenty,
No use to talk to me.
When I was one-and-twenty I heard him say again "The heart out of the bosom Was never given in vain; 'Tis paid with sighs a plenty And sold for endless rue." And I am two-and-twenty, And oh, 'tis true, 'tis true.
Look not in my eyes
Look not in my eyes, for fear They mirror true the sight I see, And there you find your face too clear And love it and be lost like me.
On the long nights through must lie Spent in star defeated sighs, But why should you as well as I Perish Gaze not in my eyes.
A Grecian lad, as I hear tell, One that many loved in vain, Looked into a forest well And never looked away again.
There, when the turf in spring-time flowers, With downward eye and gazes sad, Stands amid the glancing showers A jonquil, not a Grecian lad.
Think no more, lad.
Think no more, lad; laugh, be jolly: Why should men make haste to die Empty heads and tongues a-talking Make the rough road easy walking, And the feather pate of folly Bears the falling sky.
Oh, 'tis jesting, dancing, drinking Spins the heavy world around. If young hearts were not so clever, Oh, they would be young for ever: Think no more; 'tis only thinking Lays lads underground.
Think no more, lad; laugh, be jolly: Why should men make haste to die Empty heads and tongues a-talking Make the rough road easy walking, And the feather pate of folly Bears the falling sky.
The lads in their hundreds
The lads in their hundreds to Ludlow come
in for the fair, There's men from the barn and the forge and
the mill and the fold, The lads for the girls and the lads for the
liquor are there, And there with the rest are the lads that will
never be old.
There's chaps from the town and the field
and the till and the cart, And many to count are the stalwart, and
many the brave, And many the handsome of face and the
handsome of heart, And few that will carry their looks or their
truth to the grave.
I wish one could know them, I wish there
were tokens to tell The fortunate fellows that now you can
never discern; And then one could talk with them friendly
and wish them farewell And watch them depart on the way that they
will not return.
But now you may stare as you like and
there's nothing to scan; And brushing your elbow unguessed at and
not to be told, They carry back bright to the coiner the
mintage of man, The lads that will die in their glory and
never be old.
Is my team ploughing
"Is my team ploughing, That I was used to drive And hear the harness jingle When I was man alive"
Ay, the horses trample,
The harness jingles now:
No change though you lie under
The land you used to plough.
"Is football playing Along the river shore, With lads to chase the leather, Now I stand up no more"
Ay, the ball is flying, The lads play heart and soul; The goal stands up, the keeper Stands up to keep the goal.
"Is my girl happy, That I thought hard to leave, And has she tired of weeping, As she lies down at eve"
Ay, she lies down lightly, She lies not down to weep: Your girl is well contented. Be still, my lad, and sleep.
"Is my friend hearty, Now I am thin and pine, And has he found to sleep in A better bed than mine"
Yes, lad, I lie easy,
I lie as lads would choose;
I cheer a dead man's sweetheart,
Never ask me whose.
Three Songs
John Ireland {John Masefield)
Sea Fever
I must go down to the seas again, to the
lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer
her by, And the wheel's kick and the wind's song
and the white sail's shaking, And a grey mist on the sea's face and a grey
dawn breaking.
I must go down to the seas again, for the call
of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be
denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white
clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume
and the seagulls crying.
I must go down to the seas again, to the
vagrant gypsy life, To the gull's way and the whale's way where
the wind's like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry tale from a laughing
fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the
long trick's over.
The Bells of San Marie
It's pleasant in Holy Mary
By San Marie lagoon,
The bells they chime and jingle
From dawn to afternoon.
They rhyme and chime and mingle,
They pulse and boom and beat,
And the laughing bells are gentle
And the mournful bells are sweet.
Oh, who are the men that ring them, The bells of San Marie, Oh, who but sonsie seamen Come in from over sea, And merrily in the belfries They rock and sway and hale, And send the bells a-jangle, And down the lusty ale.
It's pleasant in Holy Mary
To hear the beaten bells
Come booming into music,
Which throbs, and clangs, and swells,
From sunset till the daybreak,
From dawn to afternoon.
In port of Holy Mary
On San Marie lagoon.
The Vagabond
Dunno a heap about the what an' why, Can't say's I ever knowed. Heaven to me's a fair blue stretch of sky, Earth's jest a dusty road.
Dunno the names o' things, nor what they are, Can't say's I ever will.
Dunno about God--he's just the noddin' star Atop the windy hill.
Dunno about Life--it's jest a tramp alone From wakin1--time to doss. Dunno about Death--it's jest a quiet stone All over-grey wi' moss.
An' why I live, an' why the old world spins, Are things I never knowed; My mark s the gypsy fires, the lonely inns, An' jest the dusty road.
Three Songs
Love is a babel
Herbert Perry {Anonymous)
Love is a babel
No man is able
To say 'tis this or 'tis that;
So full of passions
Of sundry fashions,
'Tis like I cannot tell what.
Love's fair in cradle,
Foul in fable,
'Tis either too cold or too hot;
An arrant liar,
Fed by desire,
It is and yet it is not.
Love is a fellow
Clad oft in yellow,
The cankerworm of the mind;
A privy mischief,
And such a sly thief
No man knows which way to find.
Love is a wonder
That's here and yonder,
As common to one as to moe;
A monstrous cheater,
Ev'ry man's debtor;
Hang him and so let him go,
Hang him and so let him go.
Now sleeps the Crimson petal
Roger QuUter
{Lord Alfred Tennyson)
Now sleeps the Crimson petal, now the white; Nor waves the cypress in the palace walk; Nor winks the gold fin in the porph'ry font: The firefly wakens: waken thou with me.
Now folds the lily all her sweetness up, And slips into the bosom of the lake; So fold thyself, my dearest, thou, and slip, Into my bosom and be lost, be lost in me
Money, O!
Michael Head
When I had money, money, O! I knew no joy till I went poor; For many a false man as a friend Came knocking all day at my door.
Then felt I like a child that holds A trumpet that he must not blow Because a man is dead;
I dared not speak to let this false world know Much have I thought of life, and seen How poor men's hearts are ever light; And how their wives do hum like bees About their work from morn 'till night.
So when I hear these poor ones laugh, And see the rich ones coldly frown Poor men, think I, need not go up So much as rich men should come down.
When I had money, money, O! I knew no joy till I went poor; For many a false man as a friend Came knocking all day at my door.

Shepherd of Aberdovey
I'd like to try again to sing a song
To get you back, my pure girl
To the rocking chair by the fire,
On Aberdovey mountain.
Why, my favorite girl, why
Did you leave me and the children
Little Arthur is calling for his mother
And his heart is nearly breaking.
There are two pet sheep in the grove
And the children are playing with the lamb;
Come back, my pure girl,
To Aberdovey mountain.
The long nights, black mist,
That's before me, my beloved girl.
Oh! Open the door of the house again
On Aberdovey mountain.
Oh! Cannot you hear the prayers
Of your little Arthur before
Sleeping in the night,
With his small cheeks like the rose
Weeping for his mother
You put a burden on me, Gwen.

I
A trio of French melodies opens tonight's concert in a highly romantic vein. While Debussy and Faure were to eventually follow very different paths as their careers grew and their prestige increased, at this early stage both composers were still finding their voices. France was awash with the operas of Gounod and Massenet, and writing in any other style would have been difficult and not very profitable for any ambitious young composer. Debussy was only eighteen when he penned Nuit d'Btoiles, and as was always
the case with these early
vocal works, this song
was written for and dedicated to the gifted soprano, Mme. Vasnier. This teenage infatuation is respon?sible for at least two dozen songs, all of which strive to show off
the voice's lyricism and
agility, never requiring texts
of any particular literary significance. Faure's early songs--these two were written in 1878--are also imbued with romantic lyricism, and often employ poems that bor?der on the sentimental. These are choices Faure would soon eschew in favor of restraint and sophisticated symbolist texts, but not quite yet. Apres un reve is perhaps his most performed song, being transcribed for virtually every instrument, and proving just as touching with or without its text. Dark colors and dramatic moods were rarely to Faure's taste, but in Automne we find an arresting success in both. No longer simply an accompaniment, here the piano challenges the singer to paint the heightened regret of this season.
II
English is the original language of the first group of Schubert songs on tonight's pro?gram. These were all written on the same day in July of 1826, as Schubert was vaca?tioning at the country home of his friend, Franz von Schober, just outside of Vienna. The two always enjoyed easy good times, and the warmth of their rapport, the sum?mer weather, and Shakespeare's unclouded sentiments have all conspired to bequeath us this sunny trio of strophic songs. The texts are incidental songs from Anthony and Cleopatra, Cymbelline, and Two Gentlemen of Verona respectively. In the first two songs, Shakespeare has written but one verse, but Schubert's translators took it upon them?selves to add additional lyrics to justify repe?titions of the music. In the case of An Silvia all three verses are by the Bard himself. In his Schubert Song Companion, John Reed calls this hymn to Silvia a perfect song, a "testament to the universality of the two finest song composers ever...Schubert and Shakespeare." All three of these charming songs may be sung in English (with a few adjustments to the syllabification) or in their German translations.
Ill
The four songs from Schwanengesang were all written between August and October of 1828, "Die Taubenpost" being Schubert's very last effort. The composer never had a song-cycle in mind, and simply turned to texts by various poets as he composed his last gems. Following his death, his publish?ers coined the dramatic title of this group of fourteen songs, but it remains simply that: an invention of the marketplace. The diver?sity of musical styles, along with the lack of poetic unity more than proves this point.
"Liebesbotschaft" is Schubert's final example of a song wherein a brook plays a central role; indeed the entire Schone Miillerin cycle of 1823 is based on a brook as protagonist. This song gives the illusion of simplicity, but its demands for both performers are signifi?cant. Schubert's style changes considerably for the songs to Heine texts that follow. Here economy rules: the range of the key?board is reduced by an octave in each hand, and there is not one extraneous measure. Schubert's last serenade "Das Fischermadchen" is no exercise in wooing by vocal effects; rather Schubert capitalizes on Heine's subtle manipulations and double-meanings and seduces with understatement. "Der Doppelganger" is a shattering miracle of a song, against which all others can be mea?sured. Over the piano's passacaglia of four bars, the singer traces the horror of self-real?ization and disgrace. Here Schubert fuses recitative and lyricism into a single force that looks forward sixty years to Hugo Wolf. Finally, in his last song, Schubert shows us once again his youthful side, both in his choice of text and his jaunty music with which to clothe it. This is not a composer in pain, facing death only weeks away; this is the eternal optimist who modestly but irrev?ocably changed our idea of songs forever.
IV
The two Venetian songs of Robert Schumann are yet another example of text we will hear tonight which were originally in English. Moore's poems were translated and enjoyed widely throughout Europe, and Schumann chose this pair for inclusion in his large collection entitled Myrthen, the ini?tial flowering of his "Year of Song." As has often been described, the composer's success in his career, coupled with his union with Clara, created a virtual torrent of song com?position in 1840. One marvels that
Schumann had enough time to write his music down, much less imagine it in the first place! In addition to Moore, this collec?tion of Opus 25 includes translated poems from the English of Byron and Burns, as well as original texts of Riickert and Goethe, to name but a few German poets herein. Schumann tries in this pair of songs to cre?ate an Italianate mood: swinging rhythms to suggest the water lapping in the lagoon, romantic melodies for the voice to mimic the gondolier's sensuous serenades. To con?clude this group, Mr. Terfel gives us one of the world's favorite Schumann songs. Heine's Two Grenadiers has been on concert programs since the year it was written. Here is a vastly different Schumann, an ecstatic patriot singing in heroic ballade style. The quotation of La Marseillaise is a dramatic stroke from a composer who did not bor?row often from other materials. As the piano's postlude depicts the hero's death, no audience can remain unmoved.
Singing has always been an integral part of the British, Scottish, Welsh and Irish men?tality and lifestyle. Be it as an amateur, a choral society member, a choirmaster, or a professional, raising one's voice in songs employing texts in English has never gone out of fashion. We must note that after the baroque airs of Purcell and Arne a long hia?tus in British composition ensued. This is not to say that singing was unknown, but rather that the creative impulse was more manifest in literature and the visual arts. At last, toward the end of the nineteenth centu?ry, a host of composers appeared on the scene, with vocal music very much part of their consciousness. This second flowering has continued unabated throughout the twentieth century in both the concert hall and opera house. Mr. Terfel offers us some
choice highlights from this romantic vocal renaissance, including a trio from his own native Wales, known the world over for its passion for singing.
The group of six songs from Housman's A Shropshire Lad of George Butterworth are an important part of any baritone's English repertoire, and have been so for nearly a century. Innumerable British composers, indeed others who were close associates of Butterworth's, such as Vaughan-Williams and Sir Edward Elgar, have set these famous texts. To fully appreciate how stirring and evocative these poems are for British read?ers, one need only know that the govern?ment saw fit to include a copy of Housman's collection in each soldier's gear as he marched into the first World War. This same conflict was to bring Butterworth's life to its early end--he was only thirty-one when he died in the trenches. Very little of his music is left to us, as the composer decided to destroy most of his manuscripts--unworthy in his opinion--before enlisting in the mili?tary in 1915. These songs easily capture the simplicity, the wholesomeness of British rural life, its civility, its appreciation of peace and nature. No actual folksongs are included here, but the clean and symmetri?cal writing, the modesty of the keyboard's contribution, the lack of vocal artifice or exaggeration all work together to suggest the world of the folksong nevertheless. The sen?timents are heartfelt and sincere, and these songs are sure to stay before the public as long as there are lovers of English words to sing them.

John Ireland lived a long, fruitful life, com?posing songs and ballads until well into his seventh decade. He began his musical life as an organist and choirmaster, but later was able to derive his living solely from his com-
posing. At the Royal College of Music, Benjamin Britten was one of his many illus?trious pupils. While perhaps a bit sentimen?tal to our jaded ears today, his ballades were once the toast of British concert halls.

Hubert Parry was knighted for his devotion to music education in England and helped to found the Royal College of Music, men?tioned above. The repertoire for both piano solo and voice was increased substantially by this very prolific composer. "Love is a babel" is from his English Lyrics of 1905. Roger Quilter did not need to earn his living at all, but chose to compose chiefly for voice and piano. His is a highly romantic style, less reserved than his colleagues heard this evening. His immortal setting of Tennyson's words dates from 1904. Lastly, Michael Head was both a singer and pianist, and special?ized in concerts wherein he was the sole performer. His songs are very listenable, never challenging to the ear, always enter?taining, harkening back to a simpler time. Money O! is a perennial baritone favorite.

Finding True Feelings
by Jean-Claude Feugnet
Misia carries within her a small country placed on the edge of Europe, swept by the Atlantic spray. She carries within her a town, her birthplace and the pole of her existence. Porto and Portugal are Misia's constant companions.
She carries within her a song of nostal?gia, born of the winds that blow across the crest of the waves that lap the shores of her small country--the fado.
Her voice too is like the wind: by turns undulating and silky, or as powerful as the roar of the soul caught in the torment of this absurd life, "rejoicing in woe, and suf?fering in gladness."
It was only when she left Portugal in her early adult years that Misia discovered the genuine love she bore for her homeland, as she wandered along various paths without bothering to find out where she was going. Born into a family of artists, somewhere between music hall and classical ballet, she unquestioningly continued in the family tradi?tion, yet deep in her heart the fado sang on, like a continual return to her own country.
For a fado, a few old, even ancient melodies are selected for the poem they are to accompany. It is the singer's task to choose them and express them through her voice, infusing this centuries-old tradition with all that she feels is new, yet genuine, deep and ancient.
Today Misia lives in Lisbon and sings fado all over the world, for even if she gently mocks her fellow countrymen, those "past masters of the saudade," at every concert she discovers anew that there is nothing more universally shared than the tragedy of our lives.
To counter-balance the dizzying speed at which she travels, Misia carries her own home with her--the stage.
She has become, in fact, her own point of balance. Once she is on stage, surrounded by musicians, in the glare of the lights, her burden lifts and she is liberated from the cares of life. Similarly her audience is surprised and delighted to share the feeling of well-being after a little saudade, as if cleansed by a musical rite from time immemorial.
THE ORIGINS OF FADO
by Alex Ginsberg
Since she began performing fado profession?ally, Misia has quickly become one of the leading contemporary interpreters of an art form steeped in tradition. Like Misia herself, the fado tradition is the child of diverse influences, and is surrounded by an aura of mystery and tragedy. Taken from the Portuguese word for "fate fado is an intoxi?cating blend which draws on Portugal's cen?turies-old poetic and literary tradition, and adds to it Brazilian and Cape Verdean musi?cal influences encountered through nine?teenth-century imperialism.
The result, which has been compared to American blues, is an urban cafe style of song, in which a solo singer accompanied by several guitars gives voice to the unrequited love, the pain of existence, and the enduring hope that are universally human but also so typical of Portugal. It is the singer's task to select a few traditional melodies that she will weave and develop in expert fashion to accompany the poem for a particular fado.
Throughout the nineteenth and twenti?eth centuries, fado became an integral part of the musical landscape of Portugal. Its saudade (bittersweet yearning) echoed through Lisbon's gritty Alfama district, ema?nating from bars, cafes, and private homes with a power and a presence uniquely its own. To this day it remains a tradition that relies poignantly on personal expression, for fado is rarely taught in Portuguese conserva?tories; rather, it is learned and passed on in the informal surroundings of living rooms and barroom stages.
Following the 1974 revolution which ended nearly fifty years of fascist rule in Portugal, fado proponents struggled to over?come the perception that the long tradition of their art associated them with reactionary positions. Misia has played a major role in returning fado to its anarchic, intellectual roots through her expert blend of authentic?ity and innovation. By commissioning verse from the leading poets and novelists of the Portuguese-speaking world, she has suc?ceeded in speaking to modern audiences through a voice centuries old.
Born in Oporto, Portugal, Misia spent her early twenties in Catalonia, Spain, the crossroads of the Atlantic and Mediterranean cultures. The daughter of a music-hall star and the granddaughter of a classical ballerina, Misia was deeply influ?enced by the artistic and bohemian environ?ment in which she matured.
Having gained an appreciation for change across different musical cultures, Misia grew nostalgic for her homeland and returned to Portugal to pursue her burgeoning interest in fado singing. Her unique conception of this age-old folk form was based both on her eclectic musical experience and her belief in the importance of poetry in song. Seeking to modernize the fado through contemporary verse, rather than instrumen-
tation, Misia has commissioned poems from some of the most acclaimed novelists and poets, including 1998 Nobel Prize winner Jose Saramago, Lidia Jorge, Agustina Bessa-Luis, and Lobo Antunes.
Misia's performance of the fado incor?porates the influence of many musical cul?tures. Her ability to convey great universal emotions serves to bridge the gap created by an art form steeped in local color and a language considered hermetic. Her captivat?ing stage presence has helped her to gain wide public appreciation and her image and attitude create an atmosphere of mystery appropriate to great interpreters of the genre. In 1997, Misia was awarded the prestigious Grand Prix de I'Academie Charles Cros for her recorded work.
Tonight's performance marks Misia's debut under UMS auspices.

Music
from the songs of Bahia's Carnaval
The most recent form of popular music to appear in Bahia, Samba Reggae is a mixture of Afro-Bahian rhythms such as afoxe, ijexd, and samba duro (with a Caribbean influ?ence). Paul Simon was the first mainstream artist to introduce this new rhythm to the world when he performed and toured with the Bahian percussion band Olodum.
The 32-member Bate Folcl6rico da Bahia is the only professional folk dance company in Brazil, and was formed in 1987 by Walson Botelho and Ninho Reis in the city of Salvador in the northern State of Bahia. Since its first performances the following year, the troupe has achieved considerable
international success, in particular, at France's Lyon Biennale de la Danse in 1994 and 1996, at Sydney Festival and Spoleto Festival USA in 1997.
The company has toured throughout Brazil, and in 1990, 1993 and 1996 was named "Best Dance Company in Brazil," an award given by the Ministry of Culture. Since its 1992 European debut in Berlin, the company has returned several times to Germany, France, Portugal, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and other countries. Their first tour in the US in early 1996 included New York, Boston, Washington DC, Berkeley, Costa Mesa, Minneapolis, and Cleveland. During 1997 and 1998, the troupe visited more than fifty cities in their North America tour.
The current eleven-week tour presents the world premiere of Carnaval 2000, a repertory of authentic folkloric dance and music that is based on the three different influences that formed the Brazilian people: African, from the introduction of slavery in the late sixteenth century; Indigena, the
Brazilian natives; and European, through the Portuguese colonization.
This marvelous company, with its dancers, musicians and singers, represents the culture, the traditions, the beliefs, the history, the colors, the music, and the move?ments of the people of Bahia.
This weekends performances mark Bale Folclorico da Bahia's debut performances under UMS auspices.
Walson Botelho, General Director and also co-founder of the company, is a choreogra?pher and former performer, who graduated
from the Federal University of Bahia with a degree in Cultural Anthropology. He has worked as Dance Director at Cultural Foundation in Bahia, as Production Director for the Bale Teatro Castro Alves, in Salvador, and as Assistant Director,
dancer, singer and musician with the com?pany Viva Bahia.
Jos6 Carlos Arandiba, Artistic Director, has worked with the company in this capacity
since 1992. A former solo performer with the Contemporary Dance Group at the Federal University of Bahia, he is an interna?tionally-recognized teacher and director whose work has been seen on televisions in France, Germany, and
Holland, and he has choreographed for sev?eral European-based companies.

The Ford Honors Program is made possi?ble by a generous grant from the Ford Motor Company Fund and benefits the UMS Education Program. Each year, UMS
honors a world-renowned artist or ensemble with whom we have maintained a long-standing and significant relationship. In one evening, UMS pays tribute to and presents the artist with the UMS Distinguished Artist Award, and hosts a dinner and party in the artist's honor. Van Cliburn was the first artist so honored, with subsequent honorees being Jessye
Norman, Garrick Ohlsson, The Canadian Brass, and Isaac Stern (left).
This season's Ford Honors Program will be held in early May. The recipient of the 2001
UMS Distinguished Artist Award will be announced in January 2001.

EDUCATION & AUDIENCE DEVELOPMENT
In the past several seasons, UMS' Education and Audience Development program has grown significantly. With a goal of deepening the understanding of the importance of the live performing arts and the major impact the arts can have in the community, UMS now seeks out active and dynamic collabora?tions and partnerships to reach into the many diverse communities it serves.

This year's series includes interviews with several UMS artists, including Menahem Pressler and others to be announced.
PREPs (Performance-Related Educational Presentations)
This series of pre-performance presentations features talks, demonstrations and workshops designed to provide context and insight into the performance. All PREPs are free and open to the public and usually begin one hour before curtain time.
Meet the Artists: Post-Performance Dialogues
The Meet the Artist Series provides a special opportunity for patrons who attend perform?ances to gain additional understanding about the artist, the performance they've just seen and the artistic process. Each Meet the Artist event occurs immediately after the perform?ance, and the question-and-answer session takes place from the stage.
Artist Residency Activities
UMS residencies cover a diverse spectrum of artistic interaction, providing more insight and greater contact with the artists. Residency activities include interviews, open rehearsals, lecturedemonstrations, in-class visits, master classes, participatory work?shops, clinics, visiting scholars, seminars, community projects, symposia, panel discus?sions, art installations and exhibits. Most activities are free and open to the public and occur around the date of the artist's perform?ance.
