LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
? '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

annals
1 he 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.
, hroughout 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 Shostakovitch'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.
MEMORIAL TOWER
Hill Auditorium
' tanding 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
Hill Auditorium
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
ixty 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.

"he 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
Power Center
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.
Michigan Theater mtMsiMffi
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. j '
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church
n 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
I otwithstanding an isolated effort to estab-
I 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
'he 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 ----------------
riginally 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
"he 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 Cosifan 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
een 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.

ina Simone is one of the great singers and musicians of her gen?eration. Her career has spanned nearly forty years and brought her fame worldwide. She embodies and defines the term "artist," and, like all truly great artists, she defies the categoriza?tion. Any attempt at pigeonholing her rich body of work is futile. She is volatile, out?spoken, very much her own woman. Other vocalists, from Patti LaBelle to Sade, from Bob Dylan to Lauryn Hill, acknowledge the influence she's had on their respective musi?cal styles. Among music lovers, her fellow musicians and music industry pundits, she's justifiably considered legendary.
Almost by accident, Nina Simone became a nightclub entertainer. When an Atlantic City club owner hired her and expected her to sing as well as play the piano, Eunice Waymon, from Tryon, North Carolina changed her name, afraid that her family would discover that rather than playing the classics, she'd ventured into popular music. Without realizing what was happening, Eunice Waymon, the classically trained pianist, became Nina Simone, the jazz singer and musician.
Building a following in clubs and halls throughout Philadelphia and New York, Nina came to the attention of Bethlehem Records which prompted the recording of her first Top 20 pop single, "I Loves You Porgy," from Gershwin's Porgy and Bess. Her debut album for Bethlehem, Jazz as Played in an Exclusive Side Street Club, ultimately led to a hugely successful recording career spanning over forty years and fifty albums with repertoire ranging from gospel to African music, from blues to Ellington to Beatles songs, from classical music to folk songs of diverse origin.
There are other characteristics of the Simone art: her original timing, the way she uses silence as a musical element, and her often understated live act. She sits at the piano and advances the mood and the climate of
her song by a few chords. Sometimes her voice changes from dark and raw to soft and sweet. She pauses, shouts, repeats, whispers and moans. Sometimes piano, voice and gestures seem to be separate elements. Then, at once, they meet. Add to this her genius and the way she weaves her spell and you have some of the elements that make Nina Simone one of the most unique, recogniz?able artists in the world of music today.
Nina is also well remembered for her heroic presence in the fight for civil rights. Indeed, songs like "Young, Gifted and Black" and "Mississippi Goddam" became anthems for the movement. Dubbed the "High Priestess of Soul" by her fans, Nina remains a very vocal champion of equality and con?tinues to be one of the African-American community's most enduring figures.
After a period away from the major con?cert halls in the early seventies and only spo?radic recording and touring in the eighties, Nina's career was re-launched in 1987 with the re-release and subsequent success of the European hit "My Baby Just Cares for Me."
In 1991, Nina wrote her autobiography, I Put A Spell On You, returned to the US from Europe to perform at selected venues, and was featured on the Pete Townsend pro?duced Iron Man soundtrack. Elektra Records A&R Executive Michael Alago followed Nina Simone to London in 1992, convincing her to sign with Elektra Records. The recording that followed, A Single Woman, remains an enduring testament to the majesty of a truly timeless artist.
The recently-issued retrospective The Very Best of Nina Simone: Sugar in my Bowl, 1967-72 (RCABMG), Banana Republic's national television advertising campaign featuring "Feeling Good," and an upcoming profile on Nina for 60 Minutes II (CBS) help to present the beauty of her music to even more generations of fans.
Tonight's performance marks Nina Simone's UMS debut.

oussolou (Women) is a classic form of modern African pop. In its own way it represents something of a revolution in the way African music is recorded and produced. Oumou's approach to her music also echoes the deeper struggle of her peer group for a cultural identity in which tradition is not thrown in the bin, but modernized with its essential character and strength intact. Oumou herself stresses the fact that although she speaks out against the abuses of traditional social customs such as polygamy, she herself is not anti-tradition. Ms. Sangare is definitely the thinking-persons female star. When it's time to speak plain truths, she never shirks from her task. Throughout her recorded work the same themes recur: the struggles of
women in a male-dominated Muslim society, the conflict between tradition and moder?nity, and the puzzling sorrows and joys of life and death. With her imposing stature, defiant beauty, courageous intelligence and extraordinary voice, she manages to impress and amaze almost everywhere she goes, in the streets of Bamako, the bou?tiques of Paris, and on the stages of the great international concert halls. When she sings with the ease and soulful power of an Aretha Franklin or Patsy Cline and then looks you right in the eye and says, "I will fight until my dying day for the rights of African women and of women throughout the world," you know you're dealing with someone very special.
, ongwriter, social commentator, champion of women's rights, spokesperson for her generation and her sex, Oumou Sangare is more than just a mere "singer." She is something closer to a phenomenon because she is an African, and above all, an African woman, who speaks her mind with?out a trace of fear, embodying values and struggles many people care deeply about. Oumou Sangare was born in Bamako in 1968, to parents who had emigrated to Mali's burgeoning capital city from the region south of the Niger River known as Wassoulou. Her mother, Aminata Diakhite, was also a singer who, like most women of her generation, had to share her husband with two other wives. This formative experi-
ence of polygamy and its potential for caus?ing pain and suffering made a deep impres?sion on the young girl. Oumou's mother encouraged her to develop her precocious talents as a singer, whispering to her terri?fied daughter just before she took the stage of Bamako's Stade des Omnisports for her first public appearance at the tender age of six, "Sing like you're at home in the kitchen." After a period as a member of The National Ensemble of Mali, the training ground for many of the country's top musicians, Oumou was asked by Super Diata Band veteran Bamba Dambele to accompany his traditional percussion troupe Djoliba on a 1986 tour of Europe. Shortly after her return from Europe, Oumou started working with the highly revered arranger Amadou Ba Guindo. Together with a fine group of musicians including Boubacar Diallo on guitar and Aliou Traore on violin, Oumou and Amadou Ba set about con?structing a tight and highly individual sound, aiming for something rooted in tradition yet unique and modern at the same time.
After two years of hard work and exper?imentation, the group was offered a record?ing deal. Oumou and the ensemble traveled to Abidjan in The Ivory Coast, and in seven days at the legendary JBZ studios they recorded Moussolou, a collection of six orig?inal Oumou compositions. On its release in 1989, the record sold over 200,000 copies. The public went crazy--at twenty-one years old, Oumou was a star.
Tonight's performance marks Oumou Sangare's UMS debut.
---orn in 1958, Habib Koite comes
from a noble lineage of Malian, Khassonke griots. He developed his unique guitar style by accom?panying his griot mother and inherited his unique guitar style from his paternal grandfather who was a virtuoso of the traditional n'goni, a traditional four-stringed instrument associated with Wassolou hunters. "Nobody really taught me to sing or play the guitar," explains Habib, "I watched my parents and it washed off on me."
Habib was headed for a career as an engineer, but at the insistence of his uncle, who recognized Habib's talent, he enrolled in the National Institute of Arts (NIA) in Bamako where he studied music for four years, graduating at the top of his class in 1982. Upon graduation, the NIA asked Koite to stay on and teach guitar. At this time he also had the opportunity to work and play with notable Malian musicians including Keletigui Diabate (kora) and Toumani Diabate (bala-fon), for whom he recorded vocals and guitar on the Shake the World album.
In 1988, Habib Koite formed his own band Bamada (a nickname for residents of Bamako that roughly translates to "in the mouth of the crocodile") with a line-up of young Malian musicians who had been friends since childhood. The group honed their skills by touring extensively in Mali. The great feeling of camaraderie amongst them is self-evident during their live perfor?mance today.
In 1995, Habib released his first album Muso Ko. The album quickly reached No. 3 on the European World Music charts. From that point forward, Habib became a fixture on the European festival circuit and began to spread his infectious music and high-energy shows around the world. In 1999, Habib released his second album MaYa that
shot to and stayed No. 1 on the.European World Music Charts for an unprecedented three months.
Habib takes some unique approaches to playing the guitar. He tunes his instrument to the pentatonic scale and plays on open strings as one would on a kamale n'goni, a six-string kora-ike instrument. At other times, Habib plays music that sounds closer to blues or flamenco, two styles he studied under Khalilou Traore, a veteran of the leg?endary Afro-Cuban band Maravillas du Mali. Unlike Griots, his singing style is restrained and intimate, with varying cadenced rhythms and melodies. He can distance himself from pure Malinke music by introducing Bubu, Songhai, and Peul rhythms. The basic overall style is consid?ered danssa, an exuberant rhythm from the ; Khaso region, which Habib Koite helped popularize by incorporating modern musi?cal expressions.
Tonight's performance marks Habib Koite's UMS debut.

La Revue de Cuisine
Bohuslav Martinu
Born December 8, 1890 in Poliea,
Czechoslovakia Died August 28, 1959 in Liestal, near Basel,
Switzerland
Alexander Tcherepnin once remarked that his Czech contemporary Bohuslav Martinu's music was "completely free from sauerkraut," meaning it avoided German-style formalism in favor of French neo-classicism. Nowhere is Tcherepnin's gastronomic image more apt than for the music of Martinu's experimen?tal ballet, La Revue de Cuisine, a whimsical portrayal of love and jealousy between kitchen utensils.
Despite coming to composition relative?ly late in his musical career, Martinu was an incredibly prolific composer. His early works date from the First World War, but he spent five years as a second violinist with the Czech Philharmonic before settling in Paris in 1923. During the 1920s, Martinu befriended some of the leading Parisian cultural figures of the day, including Roussel, Stravinsky, and the composers of Les Six. He also began to com?pose more regularly, using the popular neo?classical works of his colleagues as models.
Many composers of that era looked to American jazz as the antidote to what Christopher Hogwood terms the "Teutonic oversaturation of the Twenties." Although Martinu drew on several of the same popu?lar-music inspirations as Les Six and Stravinsky, he wasn't as convinced of jazz's relevance to European composers. He wrote in 1925, "I often think of the amazingly pregnant rhythm of our Slavonic folk songs ...of their characteristic rhythmic instru?mental accompaniments, and it seems to me that it is unnecessary to have recourse to the jazz band." Still, he toyed with jazz several times during his Paris years. La Revue de Cuisine, the third of his "jazz" ballets (com?pleted in 1927), overtly embraces American jazz in its forms, melodies, harmonies,
rhythms, and especially its instrumentation: an odd combination of violin, cello, clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, and piano.
With its element of fantasy and the animation of everyday objects, Jarmila Kroschlova's scenario for La Revue de Cuisine recalls Ravel's L'Enfant et les sortileges (1925), as dancers play the parts of the various kitchen utensils. In this eccentric scenario, the marriage of Pot and Lid is threatened by the suave Stirring Stick, while Broom chal?lenges Dishcloth to a duel. Pot and Lid are eventually reconciled, and Dishcloth elopes with Stirring Stick.
An admirer of Stravinsky's Histoire du Soldat, Martinu worked with similar econo?my on this score, perhaps also responding to criticisms that his earlier ballets were too ambitious. Without completely absorbing the jazz idiom as Milhaud did in La Creation du monde, Martinu uses jazz as a vehicle for satire, in the same vein as Poulenc's Les Biches or Satie's Parade, and La Revue de Cuisine went on to became his first popular success.
Both the "Prologue" and "Finale" in La Revue de Cuisine use a fanfare motive that could be a parody of Mahler's second Wayfarer song, "Ging heut' morgen libers Feld." Martinu emphasizes the motive's jaunty, carefree qualities, spicing them with facile modulations and "wrong-note" harmony. The dark and sultry "Tango" that follows leans more toward a habanera in style. The gruffly repeated opening cell creates a tension that rises with the addition of a muted trum?pet that, though it may sound "cartoonish" to today's listeners, is testament to the immedia?cy of effect in Martinu's music. The same dark timbres and key of the "Tango" continue in the next movement, but soon give way to a rollicking dance that is as close an imitation of the Charleston as any European composer ever achieved. The "Finale" quotes this Charleston tune, along with other popular melodies of the day, in a medley that cleverly mimics the rhythms and improvisatory qual' ities of Dixieland jazz.
Le Quattre Stagioni Dalla Cucina Futurismo (The Four Seasons of Futurist Cuisine) for Narrator, Violin, Cello and Piano
Aaron Jay Kernis
Born January 15, I960 in Philadelphia
Like many of his contemporaries, Aaron Jay Kernis started out composing in a Minimalist-based style, only to mature dur?ing the 1980s into a personal language less rigorously based on repetition and process. As the Minimalist influence gradually faded, Kernis sought inspiration in other forms of expression, especially literature, the visual arts, and personal experience. He notes that many of his works from this period were conceptor image-based, an aesthetic that allowed him to explore more freely his nat?ural inclination towards lyricism and eclec?ticism. It wasn't long before Kernis had established himself as one of the leading American composers of his generation, win?ning the Pulitzer Prize for music in 1998 for his String Quartet No. 2.
One of Kernis' most overtly post-mod?ern works is The Four Seasons of Futurist Cuisine (1991), a theatrical piece for piano trio and narrator based on excerpts from Filippo Marinetti's The Futurist Cookbook (1932). Kernis was given a copy of the Cookbook in the late 1980s, and was drawn not only to its humor and audacity, but also to the parallels between Fascism's rise in the early decades of the twentieth century (the socio-political climate from which Italian Futurism emerged) and the current interna?tional political scene. The Futurists believed in the power of technology to unite and humanize mankind, once society was liber?ated from the conventions of tradition. Though the very idea of an artistic mani?festo disguised as an easy-to-read cookbook may seem ridiculous, the Futurist's cultural criticism, expressed through absurd satire,
made it one of the most powerful influences on post-World War II modernism.
Like the Futurist Cookbook itself, The Four Seasons of Futurist Cuisine surreally mingles history and modernity, politics and art, the trivial and the sublime, often switch?ing between these frames of reference with mercurial volatility. The text for the first movement uses an excerpt from Marinetti's 1909 Futurist Manifesto; the other texts are drawn from the Futurist Cookbook itself. In them, Marinetti satirizes the language of gastronomy and equates it with the rhetoric of politics and war, investing power not in the food itself, but in the very descriptions of it. Though humorous, the contexts are often explicitly military, as in the "Heroic Winter Dinner" where Marinetti suggests that a soldier's last indulgence before enter?ing battle should be a poached mullet stuffed with dates, bananas and pineapples, rather than the kiss of a mother or wife. With hindsight, the knowledge that Futurism is inextricably woven into the pol?itics of the two World Wars gives a dark edge to the humor.
Kernis' music is consciously "historical," a bold mish-mash of references to early twentieth-century bitonality, and parodies of Chopin, Wagner, Bruckner, Debussy, and nostalgic popular songs, sometimes func?tioning as a mirror to the texts, other times as a foil. It betrays the lingering influence of Minimalism, with its moto perpetuo energy and accessible harmonic language. But the post-modern traits dominate. In addition to the parodies and quotations, Kernis at times requires the performers to bark like dogs and sing. As with Futurism itself, the dis?tinction between absurd humor and serious satire is often difficult to deduce.
Program notes by Luke Howard.

Wounded Woods
Wounded woods wasted woods V
On winter's voyage go A ship on which the snow takes hold Woods of shelter and death where
without hope
I'm dreaming of the sea with its broken glass One moment in the water so cold,
drowning there
My shaken body cries in suff 'ring My heart grows weak My strength is shattered My life is revealed Death is revealed The world revealed Wounded woods wasted woods Woods of shelter and death.
Nighttime of Chill and Desolation
Nighttime of chill and desolation
I must be carefully enclosed
To my prison the branches are seeking
their way See how the grass is searching
for the sky
Then my prison would fade :
Cold so alive cold so intense
can never escape.
Of All Spring Times of the World
Of all spring times of the world Never was there one so vile I may have many ways of the bein But the best is the most trusting
See how the grass lifts the snow As if it were a graveyard stone I myself sleep in the tempest And I awake with undimmed eyes
Slow moving time comes to an end Where all streets had to pass &
Traversing all my most secret places So that I could meet someone
Je n'entends pas parler les monstres Je les connais ils ont tout dit Je ne vois que les beaux visages Les bons visages surs d'eux-memes
Surs de ruiner bientot leurs maitres.

La demiere toilette des heures

Aussi bas que le silence D'un mort plante dans la terre Rien que tenebres en tete

I do not hear the monsters talking . .
I know them well all that they say .
But I see only lovely faces Good faces beautiful
Sure soon to ruin their masters.
As They Sing See the Maids Rushing for Ward
As they sing see the maids rushing for ward To tidy up the place where blood has flowed And little girls in their powder quickly kneeling down there Their hands held out towards the fresher air Are blue like a new sensation On some great joyous day
Face their hands.O ye dead
And their eyes that are liquefying
This is the toilet the mayflies' toilet ;;
The final toilet of this mortal life ;
Down go the stones sinking disappearing
In the waters primal waters
For the ultimate toilet of time
No poignant memory remains
At those dry wells devoid of virtue :
At long absences which we find awkward '
Yet we surrender all
To the spell of our human weakness.
Hushed and StiU
Hushed and still in silence w rapt Like a corpse that lies in the earth Its head full of darkness and shadows
As deaf and monotonous :
As autumn in the pond '
Covered with dull shame 1
Poison bereft of its flowers ?_;
And of its golden monsters J
Spits out its night over all men
Thou Patient One Thou O My Patience O My Parent
Thou patient one thou O my patience :
O my parent Throat held high, proudly carried slow night's
resounding organ

Choral Voices and the Music of Transformation
by Luke Howard
ost of the works in tonight's program are vocal transcrip?tions of instrumental music, continuing a long-standing tra?dition of choral arrangements. But the program as a whole explores a musical relationship between voices and instruments that goes much deeper than that. The principle behind transcription extends back at least as far as the medieval period, when voices and instruments were used interchangeably in early polyphonic works of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Many of the main instrumental genres that have emerged since that time were derived directly from vocal models. Behind every flute melody, every soaring violin line, every fugue and sym?phony, there is an echo, however distant, of the human voice.
This process of musical transformation involves more than merely a different per?forming ensemble or desired tone color. When music is sung rather than played, it is literally "embodied" and humanized. It comes from within the musician, both phys?ically and emotionally, and with the addi?tion of text speaks directly to the listener in ways that instrumental music can only approximate.
So it is that the latent pathos in Mahler's Symphony No. 5--a work so clearly indebted to song in the first place--is made explicit in Pesson's texted arrangement. The connection between this symphony and the last of Mahler's Riickert-Lieder, "Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen," becomes even clearer when both are sung. Samuel Barber acknowledged the intrinsic voice in his own Adagio--a work that draws freely from Renaissance vocal polyphony in its textures and procedures--when he arranged it for choral ensemble, reinforcing the original
work's suggestions of spirituality with a liturgical text.
As with Mahler, Chopin's music also owes a great debt to vocal models, whether it is bel canto opera or Polish folksong. Krawczyk's arrangements of Chopin testify to the quintessential voice that lies at the heart of his piano music. Chopin was able to make the piano "sing" like no other com?poser--here his melodies sing again, this time with the voice that was the essence of their inspiration.
Even the Poulenc works on this pro?gram, both of which were originally written for unaccompanied chorus, focus attention on the issue of vocal transformation and its humanizing effects. Like Barber, Poulenc transforms and adapts aspects of the Renaissance polyphonic style to his own time. There are passages in Figure humaine and Un soir de neige, as there are in Barber's Agnus Dei, that seem to belong to another age, and yet they could not have come from any period but their own. Poulenc also chose to write Figure humaine for a capella chorus precisely because the message of hope and humanity was best expressed by voices alone, without the assistance of exter?nal instruments. During a bleak and austere time of war, an instrumental accompani?ment would not only have been inappropri?ately lavish, it would have detracted from the symbolic impact of that statement.
While musical instruments undeniably have their own unique powers of expres?sion, the human voice is the Lr-instrument, a musical medium so innate and primal that it can transcend the fashions of style and culture. And if it's true that instrumental music is rooted in the voice, then this con?cert is a homecoming, a celebration of the song as a fundamental aspect of human cre?ative experience.
Lacrimosa Lulajze

Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen
Gustav Mahler
Born July 7, 1860 in Kalischt, Bohemia
Died May 18, 1911 in Vienna
The poetry of Friedrich Ruckert (1788-1866) inspired some of Mahler's most poignant and lyrical music. Though it was Arnim and Brentano's Wunderhorn verses that inspired much of Mahler's public music--the middle symphonies in particular--Riickert's poems
seem to have elicited a partic-
ularly intimate and private
expressivity, more directly
autobiographical than
perhaps even the com-
poser was aware. He began setting RuckertV
Kindertotenlieder texts
in 1901, before he was
married and had children
ot his own, yet they tore-
shadowed the tragic death of his
only daughter. But even before this personal tragedy, Mahler had demonstrated (as he would continue to do throughout his career) an eerie fascination with the subject of death. Combined with his persistent yearning for solitude, and a desire to escape the pressures of Viennese society, it is perhaps not so sur?prising that in August 1901 Mahler should be attracted to the sentiments of Riickert's "Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen:"
I am dead to the world's turmoil I dwell in a realm of peace I live alone in my own heaven In my love, in my song.
Mahler's setting, thought by many to be quite possibly his most beautiful song, closely resembles in mood, melody, and cadence the "Adagietto" of the Symphony No. 5, composed the following year. Though a long-standing favorite of Mahler fans, the song reached a wider popular audience through its use on the soundtrack of Gerard Corbiau's 1988 period drama, Le Maitre de musique.
Clytus Gottwald's sixteen-part choral arrangement of "Ich bin derWelt..." repre?sents something of change in focus for the scholarconductor. After studying musicolo-gy and choral conducting in Tubingen and Frankfurt, Gottwald founded the Stuttgart Schola Cantorum, a group that rapidly earned a reputation for its advocacy of avant-garde choral music, commissioning and performing works by Boulez, Ligeti, Penderecki, Femyhough, and others.
Kein deutscher Himmel
Gustav Mahler
The "Adagietto" movement of the Symphony No. 5 became a mythical work from the very moment it entered the collective imagina?tion of Venice. Visconti's 1970 film Death in Venice, based on the short story by Thomas Mann, was instrumental in bringing this piece, as well as Mahler's osuvre in general, to a worldwide audience. Many signs and destinies cross paths and resolve themselves in Visconti's film, which opens with these lines from the German poet August von Platen: "He whose eyes have seen beautyIs thus to death predestined." Visconti was well aware that Thomas Mann once wrote an essay on Platen; he also knew that Mann '
learned of Gustav Mahler's death while vis?iting Venice and that Mann would from that moment on derive inspiration from the fig?ure of Mahler, to the point of borrowing his first name for the main character of his story, Gustav von Aschenbach. In Mann's text, Aschenbach is a writer: Visconti would correct this slight displacement by making his character a composer.
August von Platen went to Venice in 1824. It was in Italy that this formal poet-though no less 'cursed,' because of his undisguised love of boys--sought to attain his own personal Orient, far from "German skies." In an exact archetype of Gustav von Aschenbach's fate, he died while fleeing cholera in 1835 in the coastal town of Syracuse at the age of thirty-nine.
"Kein deutscher Himmel" is hence the ninth transcription in this familiar Venitian saga. It is an homage to Mahler; a small, leaning stele on which Platen's Venitian fragments--excerpts from the Venitian Sonnets and his Journal from 1824--appear, carved and shaped by Martin Kaltenecker. The process of putting words to pre-existing music was known in the Middle Ages as tropes logogene, a kind of post-synchroniza?tion. The text needed to be cut to preserve a collage-like quality that stood apart from the linearity of the music, such that the gap between them made of the homage to Mahler something of a cutpastedcolored work, and not at all a fresco. Kein deutscher Himmel should not be sung as slowly as some orchestras play it. One should think of what the "Adagietto" was, at least as legend has it: a declaration of love to Alma, so lucid and so determined (and perhaps not so painful) that pathos was unnecessary.
In addition to all of the good fortune of the transcription--after all, a choir is a wind instrument--the choir provides the oppor?tunity for a "complete orchestration," in which control of the emission of sound is so total that any of the pleasant flaws of the
instruments are available, either by imita?tion (for the better) or compensation. Every possible nuance is given to the marble of the words, and it is no mere turn of phrase to suggest that these voices, and these words, are scattered, mysterious, whispering, and divided to the senses--so many bows that stir them. The harp's part, so watery, is asso?ciated with the word Gondel (gondola), cir?culating through the entire choir. These minor units are at times loaded with other messages, other cries that cross the lagoon, misty as it was, one will remember, when Dirk Bogarde's boat entered it.

Agnus Dei
Samuel Barber
Born March 9, 1910 in West Chester,
Pennsylvania Died January 23, 1981 in New York
Barber's Adagio for Strings is without a doubt one of the most popular and best-loved orchestral works to emerge from the twentieth century. Yet many who recognize its rich, poignant sonorities from cinema (The Elephant Man and Platoon) and televi?sion may not realize that this wasn't the first version of the piece that Barber composed, nor was it his last.
The famed Adagio began as the slow movement from Barber's String Quartet in b minor, Op. 11, written in 1936 while Barber was touring Europe after winning the American Prix de Rome. The great Italian maestro Arturo Toscanini persuaded the young composer to arrange the quartet's second movement "Adagio" for string orchestra, and Toscanini himself conducted the first performance in 1938. It was in this string orchestral version that the work found its largest audience. In subsequent years it has become something of an anthem
of mourning, performed at the funerals of Presidents Roosevelt and Kennedy, and Princess Grace of Monaco.
Given Barber's natural affinity for vocal writing, it was perhaps only a matter of time before he turned again to this, his signature piece. In 1967 he produced a third version of the Adagio, applying the traditional text of the liturgical Agnus Dei to the now-famil?iar and well-loved harmonies. This choral version has recently come into its own, as new recordings appear with increasing fre?quency. The Agnus Dei is also featured prominently in the recent film versions of Lorenzo's Oil and The Scarlet Letter. The Adagio itself also continues to foster popular appeal--a 1997 compact disc (on the RCA label) is devoted entirely to eight different versions of this work (including the choral Agnus Dei), and pop-icon William Orbit's synthesized version stormed to the top of the British pop charts in early 2000.
Un soir de neige
Francis Poulenc
Born January 7, 1899 in Paris
Died January 30,1963 in Paris
Although Poulenc's Un soir de neige, com?posed during the war years (1944) to texts by Paul Eluard, is about a struggle, it's not a struggle against the enemy. This setting of four short texts for six-part chorus explores the theme of a winter's journey--a struggle against the elements--loosely modeled on Schubert's Winterreise.
This is austere music, due in part to the nature of the subject matter, but also a reminder that the winters during World War II were especially harsh. The rapid harmonic changes in the first chorus, "Des grandes cuillers de neige...," suggest the shivering bustle of a cold winter, perhaps too cold to remain still. In the second song, "La bonne neige," echoes of Renaissance polyphonic
style emerge at the outset, as melodies circle around a stable drone. "Bois meurtri" is suitably dark and chromatic, while the con?cluding "La nuit le froit la solitude" is the briefest of the set, returning to the brisk modulations of the first.
Figure humaine
Francis Poulenc
During the dark days of the German occu?pation of France in World War II, Francis Poulenc would periodically find copies of poems left anonymously and surreptitiously at his home. Though unsigned, Poulenc rec?ognized the author as Paul Eluard, a friend he had first met in 1917, and he valued these documents as small but significant symbols of defiance against the Nazis. As Nicolas Robertson writes, Eluard's texts were poems of suffering and resistance, "full of images of hunted creatures, menacing cruelty, the slow burning patience of vengeance and yet, too, hope and love."
During the summer of 1943, Poulenc selected eight of these poems and set them as a cantata for double six-part chorus. The final poem in the set, "Liberte," had been published in 1942, and was already the best known resistance poem of the war. When Poulenc's cantata was secretly printed by Rouart, under the title Figure humaine, the work was immediately and secretly hailed as a boldly defiant political act. It was intended to be performed on the day of liberation, and undisclosed rehearsals--where no one-, was allowed to reveal the identity of the author or the composer--were already underway in Belgium. The day the American Army entered Paris, ending the German occupation, Poulenc placed the score of Figure humaine on a music stand in his apartment window, just underneath the French flag, as a public symbol of the French people's striving for freedom. In the end, the
first performance was a radio broadcast from London, not Paris, in March 1945.
Along with Luigi Nono's Canto Sospeso and Schoenberg's A Survivor from Warsaw, Figure humaine is one of the most profound and telling musical documents to emerge from the Second World War. Though intended initially as an occasional piece, it remains just as powerful and rele?vant today. Poulenc once claimed he could find "love in everything Eluard did." In Figure humaine, that love transcends all the anguish and despair of global war. The compose wrote: "This work, my best, com?forts me in my days of doubt and sad?ness...I play it every day and it cures my worst of bad moods, and my most bitter critiques, with its integrity and its faith."
Program notes by Luke Howard.
aurence Equilbey studied at the Paris and Vienna Conservatories, as well as at the Sorbonne, with Nikolaus Harnoncourt and the _____Arnold Schonberg Choir, and pri?marily studied choir conducting with the Swedish choirmaster Eric Ericson.
In 1991, she founded the Accentus Chamber Choir, whose principal mission is to promote the rich a cappella repertoire, especially within the last two centuries. It is because of her leadership that this profes?sional ensemble has rapidly won both public and critical acclaim.
Aside from her training activities, in 1995 Ms. Equilbey founded the Jeune Chceur de Paris with the support of the Paris City Council. In 1998, she was elected "Musical Personality of the Year" by the Syndicat Professionnel de la Critique Dramatique et Musicale. During the Festival of Saintes in 1998, she was invited to con?duct the Chapelle Royale Orchestra, the
Collegium Vocale of Gand and Rias Kammerchor of Berlin. She was also appointed Conductor of the Leonard de Vinci Choir in the Opera of Rouen.
Ms. Equilbey approached the operatic repertoire as she conducted a new produc?tion of Cenerentola for the 2000 Aix en Provence International Lyric Festival, as well as Medeamaterial by Pascal Dusapin for T & M Nanterre.
Thanks to her European musical expe?rience and her close ties with the repertoire of Northern European countries, she has made an invaluable contribution to the popularity and renewal of a cappella vocal repertoire in France.
Tonight's performance marks Laurence Equilbey's UMS debut.
ccentus, a professional choir of thirty-two singers, brought together in 1991 by Laurence Equilbey, is devoted to interpret?ing the rich repertoire of a capella songs in chamber choir formation. In reviv?ing this tradition, Accentus mainly interprets masterpieces of the last two centuries according to their original formation and thus participates in contemporary creation.
Accentus also performs under the reputed Swedish choirmaster Eric Ericson (appearing with the Swedish Radio Choir and the Eric Ericson Chamber Choir as part of UMS' Divine Expressions Series on February 17,2001), a special guest conductor of the ensemble. The group has also worked with the Ensemble Intercontemporain, the Orchestre de Paris and the Chatelet Theatre, working with Pierre Boulez, Christoph Eschenbach, David Robertson and Jonathan Nott. Accentus participates in festivals around the globe, and has appeared in Aix-en-Provence and La Roque d'Antheron in France, and with the Schleswig-Holstein Festival and Bach Tage in Berlin.
Critics hailed Accentus when it made its first recording of the secular choir works of Poulenc and Ravel in 1994. The group was also nominated for the Victoires del Musique Awards in 1996 for its recording of Brahms' and Schumann's a capella songs and ballads. In 1995, it received the Liliane Bettencourt Award given by the Academie des Beaux Arts.
The ensemble's recording of sacred works by Francis Poulenc was classed as "ffff" the critics of Telerama (a cultural magazine for radio, TV and arts), received a "10" by Repertoire, was awarded the Diapason d'Or and the Choc by Le Monde de la Musique, and the prize of the New Academy of Records. Its last CD of psalms and motets by Mendelssohn also received the Choc by Le Monde de la Musique. The Accentus Chamber Choir was selected as "Musical Personality of the Year" in 1997-
98 by The Syndicat Professionel de la Critique Dramatique et Musicale.
The choir's activities are sponsored by the France Telecom Foundation and subsi?dized by the Ministry of Culture, the City of Paris, Musique Novelle en Liberte and AFAA for its foreign activities.
Tonight's performance marks Accentus' UMS debut.

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
