JETTER FROM THE 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.
I am particularly excited about the three-week residency of the Royal Shakespeare Company in March 2001. Three years in development, the RSC residency represents the largest international project ever under?taken by UMS in our 122-year history. UMS is especially grateful for the personal interest and involvement of University of Michigan President Lee C. Bollinger and for the leading financial support of the University of Michigan and the State of Michigan in this historic project. The presentation of William Shakespeare's History Plays, along with the extensive educational programs that sur?round the performances, takes place only in Ann Arbor and in Stratford-upon-Avon and London in England. We are pleased to welcome theater lovers from all over North America who are taking advantage of this exclusive US presentation in our community.
It takes a large group of dedicated and tal?ented people to put bring you the Royal Shakespeare Company and the other world-
renowned artists and ensembles that have been part of UMS' tradition since 1879. I'm privileged to work with an outstanding Board of Directors, Senate, Advisory Committee, and staff, all of whom are listed on pages 14-15. In addition, UMS works with more than 500 volunteers who serve in our dedicated usher corps, sing in our outstanding Choral Union, and assist us with many of our programs, especially our Youth Education Program.
It is the UMS staff (see photo) who works day in and day out to assure that you are able to see and hear the world's best performing artists. The programming staff, led by Michael Kondziolka, works with artists and artists' managers to design a diverse, exciting, and high-quality season, which this year fea?tures over ninety performances. The produc?tion staff, led by Gus Malmgren, looks after the well-being of our artists and, working with an outstanding group of local stagehands, assures that each performance looks great and runs smoothly. The education and audi?ence development staff, led by Ben Johnson, designs and manages more than 200 events, working with nearly 100 community partners to enhance the audiences' understanding and appreciation of our artists and their work. People learn about our programs through many different media, thanks to the efforts of our marketing staff, led by Sara Billmann, which last year oversaw an all-time record in ticket sales for UMS. Our box office staff, led by Michael Gowing, has a well-deserved rep-
utation of providing outstanding personal?ized service. Our finances, computer systems, human resources, and office management are under the purview of our administrative staff, led by John Kennard. Finally, there is the development staff, led by Christina Thoburn, which must raise nearly half of UMS' budget this year to supplement our income from ticket sales and which has never failed to exceed their ambitious goals in each of the last ten years.
I feel extremely fortunate to work with this outstanding team of colleagues, whom many leaders in our field consider to be the finest
staff of any performing arts presenting : organization in the country. I hope you will have a chance to get to know members of this exceptional group of people, who delight in their opportunity to serve you and the other members of the UMS family.
If you would like to learn more about UMS, let me suggest that you purchase a copy of Bravo!, a popular, high-quality 224-page cookbook that includes recipes, legends, and lore from our long history. For more infor?mation and to place an order, see page 37.
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 performance experience the best possi?ble. If we don't see each other in the lobby, 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

he goal of the University Musical Society (UMS) is to engage, edu?cate, and serve Michigan audiences by bringing to our community an ongoing series of world-class artists, who represent the diverse spectrum of today's vigorous and exciting live performing arts world. Over its 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 ,J 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 j Orchestra and musical-theatre favorites with ] Erich Kunzel and the DSO at Meadow Brook, ij 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 1 Later Life," a program of late works by nine composers of all historical periods, at the m 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. Other programs included Mahler's Symphony No. 3 with the _ Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra.
During the current season, the UMS Choral Union again appeared in two series with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, both conducted by Neeme Jarvi. The chorus joined 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 followed, and 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 M of townspeople, students and faculty, members Jm 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.

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. --jkpC
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.
Power Center for the Performing Arts
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 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.
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 splendid three manual "mechani?cal action" organ with thirty-four stops and forty-five ranks, built and installed by Orgues Letourneau from Saint Hyacinthe, Quebec. Through dedication, a commitment to superb liturgical music and a vision to the future, the parish improved the acoustics of the church building, and the reverberant sanctuary has ] made the church a gathering place j for the enjoyment and contempla?tion of sacred a cappella choral music and early music ensembles.
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
' otwithstanding 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 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 the?atres in the nation. In only two sea?sons, the Detroit Opera House became the foundation of a land?mark programming collaboration with the Nederlander organization and Olympia Entertainment, -formed a partnership with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and played host to more than 500 per?formers and special events. As the home of Michigan Opera Theatre's
grand opera season and dance__
series, and through quality pro? gramming, partnerships and educa?tional initiatives, the Detroit Opera House plays a vital role in enriching the lives of the community. ]
Burton Memorial Tower
een from miles away, Burton Memorial Tower is one of the most well-known University of Michigan and Ann Arbor land?marks. 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.

Piano Quartet in E-flat Major, K. 493
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Born January 27, 1756 in Salzburg
Died December 5, 1791 in Vienna -?
The piano quartet was not an especially ? .... popular genre when Mozart agreed to com?pose three of them for the publisher F. A. Hoffmeister in 1785, and it would never become one. While the piano quintet was more like a miniature concerto, and the string quartet was emerging as a major (if not the major) chamber idiom of the day, the piano quartet was considered something of a hybrid, and rarely essayed. Mozart's models were few; there were some piano ] quartets by the Bach brothers--Emmanuel and Johann Christian--but in the quartets that Mozart completed he seems to have "-JT paid particular attention to Johann Schobert (1735-67), whose set of two piano quartets was considered the chef d'oeuvre of the genre.
The first of Mozart's piano quartets, in g minor (K. 478), was published in late 1785. But early in 1786 Hoffmeister com?plained that the work was too difficult for the amateur performers that were his prin?cipal customers, and asked Mozart if he could be excused from the contract. By this time Mozart had already completed the sec?ond quartet, in E-flat, but he agreed to dis?solve the contract nonetheless, and the sec?ond quartet was eventually published by Hoffmeister's rival, Artaria, in 1787. Mozart never began the third quartet that was part of the initial proposal.
Perhaps Mozart took Hoffmeister's crit?icisms to heart. The Piano Quartet in E-flat Major, K. 493, is considerably cheerier and more accessible than its g-minor sibling. gj Though the piano and string writing in the later work is still somewhat virtuosic, it was, not beyond the capabilities of a talented J amateur. Mozart also completed the E-flad] quartet at a particularly happy time in his j
career, and that carefree contentment may have found its way directly into the piece as well. He had just overseen the successful premiere of Le Nozze de Figaro, and his six "Haydn" quartets had elicited glowing praise from the old master, who announced pub?licly, "[Mozart] is the greatest composer I know, either personally or by repute." Mozart had every reason to believe that the recognition and financial security he craved in Vienna was not far away. The Piano Quartet in E-flat Major brims with similar optimism, prompting Mozart scholar Alec King to describe it as "one of the happiest and most mellifluous works he ever created." Both of Mozart's piano quartets are of the "divertimento" variety, with three move?ments instead of the four more usually found in string-based chamber works. The opening "Allegro" is in sonata-allegro form, but with the piano playing in more of a con-certante role. The low, dramatic opening makes an immediate feint toward the sub-dominant, A-flat--a key that will figure prominently in both subsequent movei ments--but moves quickly back on track ' and initiates an effervescence of elegant and graceful motives. Still, there is a decided homogeneity to the first movement: the sec?ond theme (an ornamented octave, followed by a turn figure) recurs no fewer than thir?ty-seven times throughout the movement, in a variety of keys, articulations, and jfgJS dynamic levels. (The published score calls for a repeat of the development and recapit?ulation before the fugato, but this repeat is usually omitted in modern performances.) The "Larghetto" movement is in the . .
subdominant key of A-flat,-a key that 1___
Mozart rarely used, and then only in pas]? sages of deep quietude. An expressive diaI logue between keyboard and strings is 'Vi affected by immediate echoes of almost every phrase, which incorporate the charac?teristic turn figure from the previous move?ment into the light and delicate melodic
fabric. This movement is in a cleverly dis?guised sonata-allegro form. The leisurely tempo partially conceals the traditional har monk profile of a sonata allegro, and the second key area--E-flat--feels more like a : return "home" than a departure, as it is the tonic key of the first movement and the , work as a whole.
fir
; The notion of a pianostring dialogue is "explored further in the light-hearted and witty rondo finale. The opening theme shows the great care Mozart took in fash?ioning a melody. Its genesis was captured in two earlier sketches (something Mozart usu?ally did in his head before putting pen to paper) that demonstrate the evolutionary process by which he arrived at this innocent and ingratiating theme. The extra effort paid rich dividends; Alfred Einstein describes this rondo theme as "the purest, most childlike and godlike melody ever sung." A-flat returns as an important key ? area in the rondo, recalling the second movement, but it is the rondo theme itself that captures the ear and rounds out the quartet with gratifying poise.
String Quartet in G Major, Op. 106
Antonin Dvorak
Born September 8, 1841 in Mi'thlhausen,
Czechoslovakia Died May 1, 1904 in Prague
Antonin Dvorak was from Slavic peasant roots. The notion of "folk" that recurs in his music emerges with a sincerity and vitality that his more urban colleagues could only mimic. Dvorak's affinity with folk music was genuine, and that was true whether he was reveling in his indigenous Bohemian folk culture, exploring African-American spiritu?als, or taking notes on Native American music. What gained him the friendship and support of such late-Romantic luminaries as Brahms and Hanslick, however, was the
manner in which he merged the folk idiom with a thorough grounding in the style and aesthetic of the classicists: Mozart, Schubert, M and especially Beethoven. Not since Chopin J had any composer been equally fluent in '?SSi both the Western art music tradition and 3] the essence of folk styles. ..???.tM
After establishing a considerable'SHBiS European reputation, Dvorak was invited to the US, where he spent three years (1892-95) as Director of the National Conservatory. It j was during this time that he developed his "American" style in such pieces as the "New World" Symphony No. 9 and the "American" String Quartet, Op. 97. But even in these ? works, where there is a demonstrable in flu ence of African-American and Native .'1 American music, traces of his Slavic folk i heritage still persist. Dvorak's commitmeni to his own culture (and perhaps his impatience to work within it again) was perhaps most evident when he returned to Bohemia j in 1895 to resume his teaching post at the Prague Conservatory. Rather than complet?ing the string quartet he had begun in New J York just before he left, he started a new $?S quartet: one that eliminates almost all the'$pj traits that were part of his "American" style ''jj and returns to an essentially Central 1
European aesthetic. This new quartet, in HjH G Major, was published as his Opus 106, and it was only after he completed it that he returned and finished the earlier Quartet in j A-flat Major (published as Op. 105). .
These two quartets would be Dvorak's last chamber works. In the ensuing years he concentrated almost exclusively on sym, phonic poems and operas, where the pros grammatic and allusive elements that had 1 periodically surfaced in his chamber music] could be given full voice. )
The first movement of the String "1__n
Quartet in G Major, Op. 106, begins with a spare yet playful theme that some have sug' gested may be based on a native birdcall. With the addition of a picturesque second
theme, Dvorak weaves a rich fabric of motivic development that, as like his hero Beethoven, makes the most out of limited materials.
Melvin Berger writes that the "Adagio" is "one of the most perfectly realized and touching movements in Dvorak's chamber : music." The Slavic-flavored theme shifts j between major and minor modes that alter?nately signify joy and melancholy. The cli?max calls for each of the musicians to play multiple stops, producing an unusually sonorous effect from this relatively small ensemble.
The third movement is a five-part rondo form (A-B-A-C-A), though it might perhaps more accurately be described as a scherzo with two trios. Dvorak relishes the opportunity to present contrasts here, with a crisp, taut 'A' section; a lyrical duet between first violin and viola in the lB' sec?tion; and a gently rocking melody redolent of Czech folk motifs as the second trio.
The principal theme of the rondo "Finale" is heard first in a slow tempo, and doesn't reveal its true nature until it acceler?ates into an invocation of the "Furiant," a vigorous Bohemian folk dance characterized by prominent hemiola effects and energetic stomping. Though other contrasting themes appear, including a reprise of melodies from the first movement, the rustic character pre?dominates. But beneath this energetic con?clusion there is still the nostalgia, tinged perhaps with relief, of a composer who once more sought sustenance from his own cul?tural roots, j
Program.notes, by Luke Howard. V
ecognized as an artist of passion and integrity, American pianist Peter Serkin is one of the most, thoughtful and individualistic musicians appearing before the public today. Throughout his career he has conveyed the essence of four centuries of
musical repertoire, and his performances with symphony orchestras, recital appear?ances, chamber music collaborations, and recordings are respected worldwide. ?(JE&M'
Peter Serkin's rich musical heritage extends back several generations: his grand?father was violinist and composer Adolf Busch, and his father, pianist Rudolf Serkin. In 1958, at age eleven, he entered the Curtis Institute of Music and a year later made his debut at the Marlboro Music Festival. Since that time, he has performed with the world's major symphony orchestras, and has played chamber music with Alexander Schneider, Yo-Yo Ma, Pamela Frank, the Budapest String Quartet, the Guarneri String Quartet, the Orion String Quartet, and TASHI.
This past summer, Peter Serkin per?formed Peter Lieberson's Red Garuda at Tanglewood, Mozart concertos at Ravinia, Mostly Mozart and the Mann Center, and works by Messiaen at the Lincoln Center Festival. Highlights of the 20002001 season include Carnegie Hall's "Perspectives: Peter Serkin" series (four concerts at Carnegie Hall with the London Sinfonietta and con?ductor Oliver Knussen), appearances with
the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Boston A ?; Symphony, Chicago Symphony Orchestraj and Seattle Symphony, recitals with violinist Pamela Frank, solo recitals, performances with the Orion String Quartet, appearances with the Gewandhausorchestra of Leipzig, a nine-city Europeantour with the Minnesota Orchestra, and a tour of Japan.
Ranging from Bach to Berio, Peter Serkin's recordings reflect his distinctive musical vision. The Ocean that has no West and no East, recently released by Koch " Records, contains compositions by Webern,' Wolpe, Messiaen, Takemitsu, Knussen, Lieberson and Wuorinen. In June 2000, BMG released a recording of Serkin per?forming three Beethoven sonatas. Other recent recordings include the Brahms violin sonatas with Pamela Frank, Dvorak's Piano Quintet, Op. 81, with the Orion String Quartet, quintets by Henze and Brahms ? with the Guarneri String Quartet, Bach double and triple keyboard concerti with ' Andras Schiff and Bruno Camino, and ; Quotation of Dream with Oliver Knussenj and the London Sinfonietta,
featuring music of Takemitsu. Peter Serkin is on the fac?ulties of The Juilliard School, Curtis Institute of Music, and Tanglewood Music Center. He lives in New York City with his wife Regina, and is the father of five children. ..??
This afternoon's performanc marks Peter Serkin's fourth appearance under UMS aus?pices. Mr. Serkin made his UMS debut on May 12, 1963 in a Hill Auditorium performance of Mozart's Concerto for Two ':i Pianos, K. 365 with his father '. Rudolf Serkin.
he Orion String Quartet is one of the most admired chamber ensem?bles on the international music scene. The members of the
Quartet--violinists Daniel Phillips and Todd Phillips (brothers who share the ? first violin chair equally), violist Steven Tenenbom and cellist Timothy Eddy--have worked with such legendary figures as Pablo Casals, Rudolph Serkin, Isaac Stern, Pinchas Zukerman, Yo-Yo Ma, Peter Serkin, Andras Schiff, Wynton Marsalis, members of TASHI and the Beaux Arts Trio, as well as the Budapest, Vegh, Galimir and Guarneri String Quartets. Now in its second decade of excep?tional music-making, the Orion continues to perform in the world's leading concert halls and serves as Quartet-in-Residence at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and at New York's Mannes College of Music. Maintaining its close artistic relationship with pianist Peter Serkin, the Quartet is featured in Carnegie Hall's "Perspectives: Peter Serkin" series in March 2001, pre-miering piano quintets by Peter Lieberson
and Alexander Goehr in two concerts. Mr. Serkin and the Orion also tour together in April, performing concerts and master class?es in Washington, DC, Philadelphia, Ann Arbor, Milwaukee, and Kansas City. The Orion performs three concerts with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, including an all-American program featur?ing works by John Corigliano, Wynton Marsalis and Peter Schickele for the 7r: Society's "Great Day in New York" series this past January. Pinchas Zukerman has invited the Quartet to Ottawa for five concerts, to include Ligeti's Ramifications and works by Mendelssohn, Barber, Corigliano, Kirchner, and Johnston. Additional highlights of the Quartet's 20002001 season include two recitals at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, as well as appearances in San Jose, Pittsburgh, Salt Lake City, and La Jolla.
The members of the Quartet maintain a strong dedication to the next generation of musical artists and are on the faculties of the Mannes College of Music and numerous other music institutions and summer festi?vals. In recent seasons, the Orion has jgg appeared at New York's 92nd Street "Y," Washington DCs Kennedy Center, and other major music centers throughout North America and Europe. They have been featured on A&E's Breakfast With the Arts, WLIW's Metroguide and National Public Radio's Performance Today. . ?......

Five Riickert-Lieder
Gustav Mahler v .,?
Born July 7, 1860 in Kalischi, now Kalifttfi
Czech Republic ;
Died May 18, 1911 in Vienna ,
sX-4. ??'?.? '
Song and symphony were the two central genres of Mahler's output, and the bound?aries between them sometimes become blurred. Several of the symphonies incorpo?rate songs, a tendency culminating in Das Lied von der Erde (The Song of the Earth), which is a symphony and a song cycle at the same time. On the other hand, many of Mahler's songs were orchestrated, and con?tain thematic development of a symphonic type; the vocal line is often treated as a solo instrument, standing out yet thoroughly integrated into the orchestral texture. Mahler's Riickert songs are perfect examples of this symphonic conception of the song. Friedrich Ruckert (1788-1866) was an important figure in German literature of his time; a poet and a professor of Oriental lan?guages, he was the author of a book of poet?ry called Ostliche Rosen (Roses from the East), in which he adapted Oriental verse forms to the German language. Ruckert is known today primarily thanks to musical settings of his works: many of his poems were set by Schubert (Du bist die Ruh', Sei mirgegrilsst) and Schumann (Widmung). One of the poems set by Mahler, Liebst du urn Schonheit, is also found in the collection Twelve Songs from Riickert's Liebesfriihling (Spring of Love) by Robert and Clara Schumann, published in 1841; that setting was composed by Clara.
Mahler set a total of ten Ruckert poems to music. Five of these make up the Kindertotenlieder (Songs on the Deaths of Children) cycle of 1901-04. The other five, heard tonight, were written around the same time but do not have a common '?''? theme, although three of the five are love ' '? poems of one sort or another.
The first song, Teh atmet' eineri linden" Duft, is characterized by a delicate lyricism... and evokes a sweet fragrance that reminds the poet of his love. The slow-moving vocal line is accompanied by smooth eighth-notes played by the muted violins, with occasional whiffs of the harp and celesta. fegjiw
The second song, Liebst du um ?? "?-"?? Schonheit, is the simplest, shortest, and least symphonic of the five. (It is perhaps no coincidence that this was the only Riickert song Mahler did not orchestrate himself; the scoring is by Max Puttmann and was done after Mahler's death.) The repeats in the text called for a strophic composition; yet the second time, when the all-important word "Liebe" is sung, the rhythm slows down and the music builds up to a climax that, instead of being louder, is softer and more tender than before.
The third song, Blicke mir nicht in die Lieder, is a poet's gentle warning to a loved one not to be too curious about a song that is not yet ready. The music is in a fast tempo, with many playful repetitions of motifs that are so frequent in Mahler. .
The fourth song, Ich bin der Welt ?&$& abhanden gekommen, is a direct forerunner of "Absented the last movement of Das Lied von der Erde. Few composers could capture a solitary individual's farewell to life (with nostalgia, yet with head held up) better than Mahler. The expressive melismas (multiple notes sung to the same syllable) of the vocal line and the wistful wind solos make this song unforgettable.
: The last song, Um Mitternacht, is the most grandiose piece in the set. It is a solemnly dramatic meditation on humanity, life and death, and the power of God, cli?maxing in a forceful exclamation about the immutability of divine providence. .,. .1E_

Symphony No. 10 in f-sharp minor
(A performing version of the draft prepared by Deryck Cooke)
Mahler
Gustav Mahler ended his Symphony No. 9 with a heart-rending Adagio, in whose final section (Adagissimo) the instructions morendo or ersterbend (both meaning "dying") are repeated several times. Ever since its posthu?mous premiere in 1912, the Symphony has been viewed by most as a farewell to life.
What could possibly be said after such a final word
As far as we know, Mahler did not dis?cuss his projected Symphony No. 10 with anyone. He did not even share his thoughts with his wife Alma, who had so often been the first to hear about them. But then, the Mahlers' marriage was in a serious crisis during the summer of 1910. Alma, who felt that her life was utterly unfulfilled, was dri?ven to a nervous breakdown by Mahler's intense and demanding personality. At the spa of Tobelbad, where she went alone to recover, she met Walter Gropius, and they fell in love (Gropius, later one of the great?est architects of his time, would eventually become Alma's second husband). Mahler found out about the affair when Gropius mistakenly addressed a letter urging Alma to leave her husband to Mahler himself (it seems he unconsciously wanted him to know). Some intense soul-searching ensued; Mahler even saw Sigmund Freud during the latter's holiday in Leiden, Holland on August 26, 1910. The visit led to reconcilia?tion and a renewed commitment.
In addition to the marital difficulties, Mahler was preoccupied with the premiere of his Symphony No. 8, scheduled for September 12. Therefore, it seems that work on the Symphony No. 10 was intermittent and never reached Mahler's usual level of intensity. Alma wrote that "he had a super?stitious fear of working on it." Still,
Mahler--who had already been diagnosed ' with the serious heart disease that would s soon claim his life--must have worked fast, '-, producing seventy-two fully written-out .' draft pages and ninety-three pages of :
score during the summer of 1910. After ;j
September, he apparently never returned to i Symphony No. 10 before his death in May ; 1911. i
It has become commonplace to say that Mahler's works are always "autobiographi?cal." True, much of his music is dominated by the desire to give voice to his personal quest for the meaning of life and death, and his individual feelings about God and ,
humanity. If that is autobiographical, howj ever, what is one to say when the topic is not , only God and humanity but also (and above all) Gustav and Alma The manuscript of Symphony No. 10 is scattered with marginal remarks of a personal nature. The same was ? true of Symphony No. 9 as well ("O Youth! ; Lost! O Love! Vanished!" and "Farewell!"), but in Symphony No. 10, we find notations such as "Mercy!" "O God! O God! Why hast ' thou forsaken me," "To live for you! To die , for you!," and finally, "Almschi!," (Mahler's pet-name for his wife). It seems that in his last symphony, Mahler wanted to project his personal trauma on the cosmic scale of his earlier symphonies. Is it surprising if the work raised problems of a totally unprece?dented kind for Mahler
Mahler's Symphony No. 10 is often described as a work left in the form of a sketch or fragment. This is somewhat mis?leading, because the five-movement work is actually written out to the end in the form of a "continuity draft." The opening "Adagio" contains a full indication of all the orchestral parts in Mahler's hand, and the second and third movements are also nearly complete. In the other movements, the out?line is all there, though the amount of har; monic and instrumental detail varies con-.ffl siderably. ??.,; -.i ,:fv3'
Therefore, the idea of completing the
symphony was raised as early as 1924, when P a facsimile edition of most of Mahler's man?uscript pages was published. Mahler had originally wished the manuscript to be burned, but Alma Mahler could not bring 1 herself to do this. Instead, she asked the 1 composer Ernst Krenek, at the time briefly '" married to her daughter Anna, to prepare a performing edition of the "Adagio" and the . third-movement "Purgatorio," and these : movements were performed in Vienna the ? same year. Much later, in the 1950s, several ??' musicologists, working independently in different countries, took up the challenge ofi completing the score. Their attempts were initially met with much skepticism; but Alma Mahler, having come to know Deryck Cooke's version, gave it the seal of her ;
approval shortly before her death in 1964. Cooke's version was first performed in 1964. The final revision, made with the help of composer Berthold Goldschmidt and the Mahler scholars Colin and David Matthews, was introduced eight years later.
The legitimacy of completing an unfin?ished work by a great composer is always a hotly debated issue, and it is easy to under?stand why this would be the case to an even greater extent when such an intensely per?sonal work as Mahler's Symphony No. 10 is j concerned. After all, you can write somei one's biography, but you cannot write
another person's autobiography. Yet Cooke made it absolutely clear that he merely iJZ-wanted to make the work audible in the form it had reached before Mahler's death. 1 Nothing was further from his thinking than; the absurd claim that he had reconstructed the symphony as what Mahler would have done it, had he lived. Cooke's performing version, in any case, has managed to estab?lish itself in the repertory, indicating that the British musicologist had indeed reached . the goal he had set for himself. The opening "Adagio," which is the
' -.V-
movement for which we have Mahler's scor?ing almost in full, continues in the "farewell-to-life" that characterizes the outer move?ments of Symphony No. 9. This movement is often performed by itself, without the rest of the symphony. But if we get to know the rest of the symphony--which we couldn't do had it not been for Cooke--we hear a very different last word! In fact, Mahler effective?ly overcame despair in the subsequent movements, exorcising Hell in the two "infernal" scherzos and the "Purgatorio," and arriving at a final reconciliation in the last movement.
The "Adagio" opens with the violas playing a mysterious unaccompanied melody hovering over several tonalities without quite settling on any particular key. This viola solo (whose tempo marking is Andante) is only an introduction to the real Adagio, whose warm violin melody begins in a clearly defined F-sharp Major but soon branches out in distant chromatic modula?tions. The emotional power of this melody, which projects deep sadness, is enhanced by the many wide leaps of an octave and more. The elevated character of the music is even expressed visually in the score: I don't know of another piece in the literature with so many double-sharps (accidentals that raise the pitch of the note they accompany by two half-steps).
The Andante and the Adagio themes are subsequently developed in alternation and in conjunction. Although the tempo remains slow throughout, the music bright?ens up somewhat in the course of that development, especially in the passages where the texture is enlivened by woodwind trills and string pizzicatos. But the two themes eventually return in their original forms, bringing back the tragic mood of the beginning. An unexpected tutti attack leads to the movement's climax, a horrifyingly dissonant nine-note chord that speaks of almost unbearable pain. In the ensuing
coda, the themes gradually disintegrate into isolated fragments, as the first violins climb to their highest register at the very end of the fingerboard.
Harmonically and rhythmically, the sec?ond-movement "Scherzo" ventures further afield than any earlier work by Mahler. Its tone and melodic style is unmistakably Mahlerian, but meters change constantly and the melody is full of unexpected chromatic twists. Mahler took an astonishing leap into the future here! Only in the (not identical) Trio sections does he revert to a more tradi?tional style, nostalgically revisiting the Idndler idiom of his youth. After the scherzo-proper material has been heard for the third time, Mahler appended a coda in which he combined elements from both the scherzo and the trios, sometimes simultaneously.
As David Matthews has shown in a recent article (published by Oxford University Press in The Mahler Companion of 1999), the third-movement "Purgatorio" does not allude to Dante's Divine Comedy but rather to a set of poems by Mahler's friend Siegfried Lipiner. There are many personal references here that will probably never be completely understood, but it is clear that the movement has much to do with Mahler's pain upon finding out about Alma's affair with Gropius. Two near-quotes from Wagner, one from Amfortas's cry Erbarmenl (Mercy!) from Parsifal, the other from the "Annunciation of Death" scene of Die Walkiire, discussed in detail by Matthews, seem to bear this out. These trag?ic episodes are, surprisingly, embedded in a movement based on a playful theme, in what seems an almost superhuman effort on Mahler's part to rise above his personal tragedy. "Purgatory" is the transitional realm between Hell and Heaven where the souls are purified, but it is also a place of intense suffering--and it is this duality, no doubt, that Mahler wanted to capture in his
Another scherzo follows, one that is perhaps less innovative musically than the second movement, but even more intensely passionate. Mahler's verbal notations in the manuscript are positively demonic. "The Devil is dancing with me" may have been one provisional title for the movement; later in the manuscript we read:
Madness, seize me, the accursed one! Destroy me, so I forget that I exist, that I cease to be...
In his book on the Mahler symphonies, Constantin Floros calls this movement "a mixture of a demonic scherzo and a tender, happy waltz." Although the A-B-A scheme of traditional scherzos can be recognized in outline, the variations introduced are very extensive and the materials belonging to the hypothetical "A" and "B" sections interact to an unprecedented degree. The astonishing coda is explained by a story Alma Mahler related in her memoirs. According to the story, there once was a funeral procession for a fireman who had died on duty, march?ing right below the Mahlers' window in New York. After a funeral speech (which the Mahlers couldn't hear from the eleventh floor), a single drum stroke gave the crowd a signal to move on. This drum stroke ends the fourth movement of Mahler's Symphony No. 10.
The "Finale" follows without a pause. The powerful drum stroke is repeated sever?al times during the somber opening, which unfolds two extended lyrical melodies, assigned by Mahler himself to the solo flute and the violins, respectively. A return of the section with the funeral drum strokes leads into an "Allegro moderato," which depends on the third-movement "Purgatorio" for much of its thematic material. Moving from cheerful to exuberant, the fast section never?theless remains no more than an extensive episode. All of a sudden, some of the most
tragic moments of trie opening "Adagio"-the measures leading up to its shattering cli?max--return, followed by its opening theme, played here by the horns instead of the violas. Slowly, the music settles into the extended final "Andante" and floats off to its ethereal ending. Although the conclusion is, once more, soft and slow, this music does not seem to be about death, as the last movement of Symphony No. 9 was. It is rather a declaration of love to Alma, and not only because of Mahler's verbal notations to that effect in the score. The concluding "Andante" of Symphony No. JO is less grief-stricken and more ecstatic as the corre?sponding section of Symphony No. 9. English musicologist Michael Kennedy, in his book on Mahler, interprets it with good reason as "the most fervently intense ending to any Mahler symphony and a triumphant vindication of his spiritual courage."

atthias Goerne, a native of Germany, dazzles audiences and critics alike with his fluid, velvety baritone and profound _ _ artistry in concert and opera,
on recordings and, most notably, in recital for which he has received accolades for his interpretation of lieder.
The 20002001 season brings Mr. Goerne to North America for lieder recitals in Princeton, New Jersey, Quebec, Kansas, Wisconsin, San Francisco and Cleveland. In the spring he sings MahlerBerio songs with the Minnesota Orchestra. Abroad, Mr. Goerne presents recitals in Sao Paulo, Munich, Stuttgart, Madrid, Berlin, Athens and on several occasions at the Wigmore Hall in London. He also performs in London with the Concertgebouw Orchestra (Riickert lieder) as well as in Nuremberg, Munich and Amsterdam. With the Gewandhaus Orchestra of Leipzig, he sings Mahler's Ruckert lieder and at Zurich Opera
appears in Wozzeck. Mr. Goerne also col?laborates once again with pianist Alfred Brendel for lieder recitals in London, Paris and Amsterdam. Matthias Goerne grew up in Weimar and began his stage and singing career as a
member of the children's choir of the towns Civic Opera. In 1985 he began voice study with Hans Beyer in Leipzig, and later with master artists Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. He went on to .. win several international competitions including the Robert Schumann :
Competition in 1989 (second prize), the Lindberg Salomon Competition and the Hugo Wolf Competition in 1990 (both, first prize). Mr. Goerne's rise to international recognition began in his native Germany, where, over the course of several engage?ments, word of the young singer's excep?tional talents and flair for interpretation and; presentation of lieder began to spread.
In opera, Matthias Goerne was '?.
acclaimed as an outstanding success in the ? new Cologne production of Hans Werner Henze's The Prince of Homburg (1992) in which he played the title role and repeated it at the Opera House in Zurich. In the spring of 1993 he sang the role of Marcello in La Boheme at the Komische Oper Berlin; dur. ing the 199394 and 199495 seasons, Mr. ? Goerne was a member of the Dresden Opera. In June 1996, he sang the role of Wolfram in a concert performance of Tannhciitser in Cologne. -
Mr. Goerne's growing discography includes Eisler's Hollywood Liederbuch on Decca with pianist Eric Schneider. Gramophone magazine selected the disc as an "Editor's Choice," describing it as "a master" ly and profoundly moving achievement."
The two artists also recorded Schumann's Liederkreis, Op. 39 and Kerner Lieder, Op. 35, also for Decca. Mr. Goerne's other cur?rent releases include Wolf's Orchestral Songs with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, led by Riccardo Chailly and a disc of Bach cantatas with Roger Norrington and the Camerata Academica Salzburg (Opera News dubbed Mr. Goerne the "Prince of Cantatas" and selected the disc as an "Editor's Choice," (September 2000).
Tonight's performance marks Matthias Goerne's UMS debut.
fter many years of preparation, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam was festively inaugurated on April 11, _ _ 1888 as the Concertgebouw Orchestra. Finally the city had a worthy music venue and it soon was recognized as one of the finest concert halls in the world. Six months later, on November 3,1888, the Orchestra, which was especially formed for the hall, gave its premiere concert. Under the leadership of its conductors, Willem Kes and Willem Mengelberg, the Orchestra developed, within a few decades, into one of the leading ensembles in Europe. In 1897 Richard Strauss already described the Orchestra as "wirklich prachtvoll, voll Jugendfrische und Begeisterung" (truly won?derful, full of the freshness of youth and enthusiasm) and from the beginning of the twentieth century dozens of composers and conductors came to Amsterdam to work with this famous ensemble. Since the cente?nary celebration in 1988, the Orchestra may call itself "Royal." Internationally it is seen as one of the foremost symphony orchestras with a character of its own.
Following in the illustrious footsteps of his predecessors, Willem Kes (1888-1895), Willem Mengelberg (1895-1945), Eduard
van Beinum (1945-1959) and Bernard Haitink (1963-1988), Riccardo Chailly took up the position of Principal Conductor in 1988. Under his leadership the orchestra has achieved great success at home as well as abroad, and it is still enlarging its repertoire. In November 1998 Ricardo Chailly celebrat?ed his tenth anniversary as the orchestra's chief conductor with a performance of Bruckner's Symphony No. 9. In January 1999 Bernard Haitink was appointed conductor laureate of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra to commemorate and honor his extraordinary twenty-five-year tenure as chief conductor.
In the fifty years during which Willem Mengelberg carried the baton, relationships were formed with ground-breaking com?posers such as Richard Strauss, Mahler, Ravel, Debussy, Stravinsky, Schonberg, and Hindemith, Schreker and Milhaud, all of whom conducted the Concertgebouw Orchestra more than once. Others, such as Bartok, Rachmaninov, and Prokofiev, per?formed as soloists in their own works. After World War II, this relationship with con?temporary composers, always of utmost importance to the Orchestra, was continued with Peter Schat, Luciano Berio, Luigi Nono and (also as conductor) Bruno Maderna. For the 20002001 season the orchestra has given composition commissions to a diverse group of composers such as Wolfgang Rihm, Peter Schat and Giya Kancheli.
The Orchestra has built up a reputation in particular through its interpretations of the late Romantic repertoire, including music by Mahler, Bruckner and Richard Strauss. The Mahler tradition, rooted in the many performances that Mahler himself i directed at the Concertgebouw, reached its' first peak in 1920 at the Mahler Festival. Although Mahler's work has always consti tuted a large part of the Orchestra's reper?toire, a new impulse was given to this tradi?tion by Bernard Haitink's recording of 3
Mahler's complete symphonies and the Christmas Matinees. Ricardo Chailly contin?ued this work with renewed interpretations. The greater part of his interpretations of Mahler's symphonies has now been record?ed on CDs. The Mahler Festival, in May 1995, included performances by the Vienna Philharmonic and Berlin Philharmonic Orchestras.
From the turn of the century, the Orchestra has worked together with many guest conductors. Karl Muck, Bruno Walter, Otto Klemperer, Pierre Monteux, Eugen Jochum, Karl Bohm, Herbert von Karajan, Georg Solti, George Szell, Carlos Kleiber, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Leonard Bernstein, Colin Davis, Kurt Sanderling, Bruno Maderna, Kirill Kondrashin have all made contributions to the overall development of the Orchestra. The Orchestra consequently has to keep up an international reputation for its flexibility in being able to perform with such diverse conductors. For example, when Haitink was chief conductor in the seventies, the Orchestra underwent an
entirely new development in the area of Baroque and Classical Music with Nikolaus Harnoncourt. In addition to chief conduc?tor Riccardo Chailly and conductor laureate Bernard Haitink, the coming season will witness appearances by a wide variety of guest conductors, including Lorin Maazal, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Philippe Herreweghe, Mariss Jansons, Kurt Masur, Mstislav Rostropovitch, and Leonard Slatkin.
Under the leadership of Riccardo Chailly, the first non-Dutch chief conductor, the repertoire has become substantially broader. Chailly is one of the few contempo?rary conductors who is able to further develop the traditional relationship to the Romantic repertoire, while giving a new impulse to the performance of classical twentieth-century works and the opera repertoire.
Tonight's performance marks the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam's sixth appearance under UMS auspices.

String Quartet in G Major, Op. 54, No. 1 .-
Franz Joseph Haydn
Born March 31, 1732 in Rohrau, Lower Austria
Died May 31, 1809 in Vienna
In his early quartets (up to Op. 33, written in 1781), Haydn laid down the rules for this genre that other composers, including him?self, were to follow for years to come. The four-movement structure including a min? uet or scherzo, sophisticated motivic trans-j formations, equal importance of all four ' players, and a wide variety of moods in all j the movements--these are only a few of thej features that defined the classical string quartet, one of the most perfectly balanced forms of music that ever existed. From the late 1780s on, Haydn was able to build on the strong foundation he had created, and it is likely that after getting to know Mozart's -six great string quartets that were inspired -by and dedicated to him, he in turn let him-! self be influenced by his younger colleague and friend.
Haydn's quartets were usually published in sets of six. Op. 54, however, contains only three quartets; another publisher brought ; out the three quartets of Op. 55, completing the cycle. According to leading Haydn spe:; cialist H.C. Robbins Landon, this breaking up of the cycle was indicative of the fact thai these six quartets "have less in common' with each other than any other set of sb works by the composer." ,.v
The Op. 5455 set opens with the pre?sent, light-hearted work in G Major, with an assertive first theme in the first violin that is all too eager to break into virtuoso sixJgjj teenth-note runs. This theme dominates' ' almost the entire exposition; the second theme does not appear until the end of this -: section (by which time other sonata-form I movements have reached their third $
themes). The development section is partic-jjj ularly involved, with numerous key changes J
(emphasizing the darker minor keys) and contrapuntal imitation. Since the playful second theme would not make for a very strong movement ending, Haydn appended a substantial coda, which focuses on the 3 movement's main theme.
The second movement is not as slow as some would expect: its "siciliano" rhythm ?,. evolves at a comfortable allegretto tempo that gives the first violin's figurations a cer-. tain "edge." The relatively simple theme "t undergoes extensive transformations in the middle section, where a series of modula?tions takes it quite far afield, both tonally I and emotionally. Moreover, the tonal adven?ture is repeated at the end the movement, just as we thought we had comfortably set?tled back in the recapitulation and the movement's home key of C Major wilnQ longer be challenged. -1Si
The third-movement "Menuetto" has the peculiar phrase structure of 5+5 mea?sures (instead of 4+4); this irregularity gives the movement its special flavor, though it is by no means the only musical surprise awaiting the listener. In the Trio section the cello becomes the leader, with a theme mov?ing in equal eighth-notes and covering a range of more than two octaves. '-
In the final rondo, a dance-like theme alternates with episodes of a more serious character, using either the minor mode or elements of counterpoint. Somewhat ff unusually, all the episodes are thematically connected to the main theme, which dimin?ishes the element of contrast and strength?ens the movement's thematic coherence. The main theme quickly becomes so famil?iar that Haydn can allow himself to "twist" it in many playful ways, fully expecting listen?er to "get" all the subtle jokes.
String Quartet in f minor, Op. 95 '
mm Ludwig van Beethoven ? ?.-. .v
Born December 15, 1770 in Bonn, Germany :. Died March 26, 1827 in Vienna
The String Quartet inf-minor (or uQuartetto serioso" as Beethoven himself called it) was ; written at the end of Beethoven's extremely prolific "second period." It was his last string quartet before the magnificent set of late ': quartets written in the last years of his life. It sums up, in extremely concise form, most of the qualities of the "heroic" second peri?od: robust force, melodic poignancy, formal ; concentration, abrupt interruptions, bold key changes and an irresistible rhythmic ----drive.
All four movements of the Quartet in -' minor are built of melodic gestures of an astonishing simplicity--one might almost call it bluntness. The unison figure that opens the piece--repeated, in typical Beethovenian fashion, a half-step higher--is only one of many examples. That dramatic gesture sets the stage for a first movement of uncommon emotional intensity. The second movement is in D Major, a key very distant from the original f minor--Beethoven never chose a more remote key relationship between movements than he did here. '?, Starting with a mysterious, unaccompanied scale, the movement continues with a lyrical melody followed by a fugue, and has an open ending leading directly into the scher?zo. The latter is based on a single motif consisting of a scale, heard both in descending and ascending form. The slow movement's D Major is revisited in the quiet and expres?sive Trio, which moves in equal long notes ; with accompanying flourishes in the first -' violin. The finale proceeds from an intro?ductory "Larghetto espressivo" through a j passionate "Allegretto agitato" to the .Ugl extremely fast coda, in which the tonality suddenly changes from f minor to F Major , and the "serioso" character gives way to s
cheerfulness, even humor, for the few remaining moments. (The sequence of ? events in this last movement runs remark-: ably parallel to Beethoven's Egmont Overture, written in the same year 1810, and also consisting of a slow introduction and passionate allegro in f minor, followed by an exultant coda in F Major.)
Hommage a Mihaly Andras: -12 Microludes Op. 13
Gyorgy Kurtag
Born February 19, 1926 in Lugo'), Romania
When a raindrop falls into a pond, the rip?ples reach far beyond the point where it first hit the water surface. Kurtag's "microludes" are, in a sense, such tiny drops: twelve state?ments of extreme brevity whose emotional impact far outweighs their size.
Andras Mihaly (1917-1993), a composer, conductor, teacher and administrator, was Kurtag's colleague at the Liszt Conservatory of Budapest. Together they trained some of Hungary's most outstanding young string quartets, including the original Takacs Quartet. As a conductor, Mihaly founded the Budapest Chamber Ensemble, the first Hungarian chamber orchestra devoted exclusively to new music, and was responsi?ble for the local premieres of many twenti?eth-century classics.
Honoring this versatile musician on his sixtieth birthday, Kurtag wrote twelve miniature character studies, each of which explores a different idea: a motif, a playing technique, a type of relation among the instruments etc. Also, each gives promi?nence to a difference note in the scale: C in the first one, C-sharp in the second, D in 1 the third, and so on. The extreme calmness of No. 1 allows us to concentrate on the beauty of Kurtag's choice harmonies. In No. 2, the viola's ongoing tremolo provides a
background for concise "micro-melodies" in the other instruments. Like Webern before him, Kurtag knows how to make a single sigh motif express a whole world of feelings. No. 3 is an agitated piece based on an osti-nato (a figure repeated without changes), No. 4 a fluid, scurrying "Presto." No. 5, in which all four instruments play with their mutes, alludes to the asymmetrical Bulgarian folk rhythms so dear to Bartok-but the music comes "from afar," as through a veil. In No. 6, the constant elements are the notes of the F-Major triad, played slowlyi and with great tenderness by the two vioJ lins, surrounded with poignant commen?taries from the lower strings. No. 7 is built around a scale, from G to G, played by the cello in harmonics, with the other instru?ments providing an eerie context. The ener?getic chords and strongly accented, dramatic perfect fifths of the impulsive No. 8 encase a momentary outburst of anger. Nos. 9 and 10 are slightly longer than most of the other pieces (though still under a minute each), and incorporate contrast to a greater extent than has been the case before. The divergent playing techniques of the individual instru-T ments are an external sign: in No. 9, the vio-j lins are leggiero (light) while the lower '
strings play pesante (with weight); in No. 10, the violins use sul ponticello (near the bridge) while the viola and cello strike the strings with the wood of their bows (col legno). But more important than these tech-r nicalities are the emotional contrasts 1
between calmness and ferocity, heard simultaneously in No. 9 and in an utterly unpre?dictable succession in No. 10. The calm, chordal No. 11 is somewhat reminiscent of No. 1, but the harmonies are fuller and the f progressions from one to the next are .J emphasized more strongly than in the almost motionless opening piece. Finally, No. 12 gives the viola a lyrical melody span?ning, within a short time, the entire five-octave range of the instrument. Winding
around the viola melody, the ethereal high notes of the first violin and the melodic j?? lines of the second violin and cello give the' conclusion of the microludes an almost oth-erworldly ring.
String Quartet No. 4
Bela Bart6k
Born March 25, 1881 in Nagyszentmiklds,
Hungary (now Sinnicolau Mare, Romania) Died September 26,1945 in New York JEHjSS
With his String Quartets No. 3 and 4 (the "middle pair" of his set of six), Bartok had reached a mature style in which all his most important artistic ambitions were realized at the highest level: the absorption of folk music influences in a highly personal and uncompromisingly modern idiom; a struc-' '; ture characterized by perfect symmetry in which the beginning and the end are close variants of each other, revolving as it were around the axis represented by the middle movement. Classical proportions, advanced modern harmony and unmistakable echoes of folk music--what other composer would have been able to bring together these seem?ingly irreconcilable elements But Bartok realized their perfect synthesis in his Quartet No. 4, which will forever assure a special place for this work not only among Bartok's compositions but in twentieth-century music in general. SSSSS
The five-movement layout of the Quartet, with two thematically related fast movements in the first and fifth place, respectively, two scherzo-type pieces (also related) as movements No. 2 and 4, and an emotionally intense central slow movement has inspired many analyses and spawned countless imitations, yet is essentially both unexplainable and unrepeatable. No theory can account for the irresistible rhythmic energy that characterizes the first move?ment, though its patterns can be (and have
been) laid bare. Nor could the symmetrical structures produce the impact they do, if -they weren't filled out with an extraordinary timbral and textural imagination, with dou?ble and triple stops, tremolos, glissandos and other technical devices adding their dramat?ic contributions to musical form. The breath-taking coda of the first movement (Piii mosso, "Faster") caps a movement that has been powerful and exciting from the-start. ,
? In the second movement ("Prestissimo, con sordino") all four instruments keep their mutes on throughout. Much of this dashing and mysterious scherzo, which con?stantly plays the metric game of having three notes in one instrument against two in another, consists of chromatic scales scurry-" ing up and down. Only in the middle sec; tion does a "theme" (a musical idea with a . sharp rhythmic and melodic profile) .j$ emerge, only to be buried again in a vibrant texture of glissandos, harsh chords and rapid
chromatic scales.______________________
The third movement, the centerpiece of the work, begins with an expressive cello , solo, played in a precisely notated rhythm that nevertheless gives the impression of ,, tempo rubato (free rhythm). Commentators'T have seen in this passage a reflection (though not a direct recreation) of the $ Romanian horn lunga, an improvisatoryt; -'c form that was one of Bartok's most cher?ished discoveries during his ethnomusico;-logical fieldwork. The extended cello solo : eventually yields to an anguished passage led by the first violin, reaching an agitato ) climax. When the original tempo resumes ; and the cello reclaims its leading role, it receives a counterpoint from the first violin, and the rubato rhythm becomes more regu-; lar, as if "tamed" by the intervening events. ? Yet the last word belongs to the anguished ? micro-motifs of the first violin. .';
The fourth movement takes up the r-r-ascending and descending scales of the sec-
ond movement, yet the chromatic scale is now stretched out to diatonicism (many of the half-steps widened to whole steps). Again, a special playing technique is called for, but instead of the mutes used in the sec?ond movement, this time the four players put down their bows and use pizzicato (plucked strings) throughout. Sometimes these pizzicatos are of the variety known as the "Bart6k" pizzicato, in which the string is plucked so strongly that it rebounds off the fingerboard. The rhythmic complexity of the movement is considerable, yet the over?all impression is a humorous one.
The last movement, based on the same thematic material as the first, nevertheless regularizes the rhythmic structure so that the melody fits into a dance pattern with phrases of equal length, which was not the case before. The accompaniment, with strong offbeat accents and playful grace notes, reinforces the dance mood. The high jinks are only briefly halted by a light and . graceful melodic episode; the wild dance ' soon returns and culminates in a conclud?ing passage that recalls the ending of the first movement almost literally. . ;.?,

cclaimed for its insightful and dynamic performances, brilliant -artistry and technical mastery, the Emerson String Quartet is one of _ _ the world's foremost chamber ensembles. The Quartet has amassed an impressive list of achievements: an exclusive Universal ClassicsDeutsche Grammophon recording contract, six Grammy Awards, including two for "Best Classical Album," an unprecedented achievement by a string quartet, regular appearances with virtually every chamber music series and festival worldwide, and an international reputation
sics and contemporary music with equal mastery and enthusiasm. For nearly a quar?ter of a century, the ensemble has collabo?rated with numerous artists, including Emanuel Ax, Misha Dichter, Leon Fleisher, the Guarneri String Quartet, Thomas Hampson, Lynn Harrell, Barbara Hendricks, the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio, Menahem Pressler, Mstislav Rostropovich, Oscar Shumsky, David Shifrin and Richard Stoltzman. "
During the Quartet's 20002001 season, the Emerson is featured in two concerts as part of Carnegie Hall's "Perspectives:., Maurizio Pollini" series: in October, the group performs string quartets by Hungarian composers Gyorgy Kurtag and Bela Bartok; in February, the program will feature selections from Bach's Art of the Fugue, Kurtag's Microludes and Beethoven's Opus 130 with the "Grosse Fuge." The Quartet also premieres a new work by William Bolcom at concerts in Washington, DC and Boston with Isaac Stern, and per?forms an all-Brahms program at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. Other highlights of the Emerson String
Quartet's extensive season include appearances in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Baltimore, Minneapolis, Portland, Tucson, Houston, and Cleveland, as well as Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Mexico City. An international tour last June brought the Emerson to Australia and New Zealand; this season, the group appears in England, Germany, France, Belgium and Italy. In February, the Quartet makes its debut in r. Hong Kong with three corir certs, and also visits .
Singapore for the first time. '
In 2000, the members of the Emerson:' String Quartet celebrate their twentieth year as faculty at the University of Hartford's -Hartt School of Music, where they have ? inaugurated a special training program for young quartets. This is also the twenty-second season of the Emerson's series at the ?-Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. Committed to teaching the nation's most -ar talented music students, the ensemble will a perform or give master classes at a host of I universities and conservatories across the jjj country, including the Curtis Institute of jj Music, University of California at San Diego, Duke University, University of Texas at Austin, Middlebury College, Dartmouth College, SUNY Stony Brook and University of Washington in Seattle. ,]
The Quartet recently performed the complete cycle of Shostakovich quartets in a critically acclaimed five-concert series pre-. sented at New York's Alice Tully Hall, as well' as Wigmore Hall and the Barbican Centre in London. The theatrical nature of these extraordinary masterpieces and their power?ful effect on audiences led the Emerson to
record them live during three summers of ?; performances at the Aspen Music Festival. Meticulous editing eliminated virtually all background noise, and the recording, on the Deutsche Grammophon label, has been praised for the intensity and energy of the performances. The disc won the 2000 Grammy Award for "Best Classical Album" and "Best Chamber Music Performance." The Quartet also collaborated with '{renowned director Simon McBurney (Street of Crocodiles, The Chairs) in an innovative theatrical piece featuring Shostakovich's Quartet No. 15. Blending film, choreogra?phy, taped readings and live music by the Emerson Quartet, the multimedia work, entitled The Noise of Time, captured the essence of this haunted composer and his music. Future performances are planned for London's Barbican Centre and at the Moscow Festival, Berliner Festspiele, Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, Massachusetts International Festival, and the Krannert Center in Urbana-Champagne. Another ongoing program of interest is the Quartet's unique collaboration with acclaimed physicist and author Brian Greene (The Elegant Universe). Dr. Greene and the ensemble demonstrate the principles of String Theory through lecture, video presentation and performances of important musical works that illustrate or coincide with major developments in the history of physics. 'iw m 1987, the Emerson signed an exclu-!"sive recording contract with Deutsche iifci Grammophon; its first release on the label SMfwas Schubert's Quartet in d minor, D. 810 &j "Death and the Maiden." The Quartet llf attracted national attention in 1988 with the presentation of the six Bartok quartets in a single evening for their Carnegie Hall debut; jthe ensemble's subsequent recording of the cycle received the 1989 Grammy Award for "Best Classical Album" and "Best Chamber Music Performance" and Gramophone mag-azine's 1989 "Record of the Year Award"-
the first time in the history of each award that a chamber music ensemble had ever received the top prize.
Additional discs on the Deutsche Grammophon label include quartets by Schumann, Dvorak, Prokofiev, Barber and Ives, the Schubert Cello Quintet with Mstislav Rostropovich, the Schumann Piano Quintet and Quartet with Menahem Pressler, the Grammy-nominated Dvorak Piano Quintet and Quartet with Pressler, the Grammy-nominated complete string works of Anton Webern, and Samuel Barber's Dover Beach with baritone Thomas Hampson. In 1994, the Emerson won its third Grammy Award for "Best Chamber Music Recording" with a disc of American Originals--quartet reper?toire of Ives and Barber.
In March 1997, the Emerson String Quartet released a seven-CD box set of the complete quartets of Ludwig van Beethoven, an ambitious project that earned the ensem?ble its fourth Grammy Award for "Best Chamber Music Recording." A disc of Edgar Meyer's Bass Quintet paired with Ned Rorem's String Quartet was released in March 1998, and the Quartet's most recent recording, the complete string quartets of Dmitri Shostakovich, was released in January 2000. $jpT
Dedicated to the performance of the "?$$? classical repertoire, the Emerson String ;-V; Quartet also has a strong commitment to the commissioning and performance of twentieth-century music. Important com?missions and premieres include composi?tions by Ellen Taaffe Zwillich (1998), Edgar Meyer (1995), Ned Rorem (1995), Paul Epstein (1994), Wolfgang Rihm (1993), Richard Wernick (1991), Richard Danielpour (1988), John Harbison (1987), Gunther Schuller (1986), George Tsontakis (1984), Maurice Wright (1983), Ronald Caltabiano (1981), and Mario Davidovsky (1979). In Fall 2001, the Quartet will pre?miere a quartet concerto by Wolfgang Rihm
with the Cleveland Orchestra with Christoph von Dohnanyi.
Formed in the Bicentennial year of the . US, the Emerson String Quartet took its name from the great American poet and ' philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson. Violinists Eugene Drucker and Philip Setzer alternate in the first chair position, and are joined by violist Lawrence Dutton and cel?list David Finckel. The Quartet has per?formed numerous benefit concerts for caus?es ranging from nuclear disarmament to the fight against AIDS, world hunger and chil?dren's diseases. The ensemble's members were honored by the Governor of Connecticut for their outstanding cultural contributions to the state and in 1994 received the University Medal for Distinguished Service from the University of Hartford. In 1995, each member was award-, ed an honorary doctoral degree by Middlebury College in Vermont. They have ' also received a Smithson Award from the Smithsonian Institution. ,j
The Emerson String Quartet has been : featured in The New York Times Magazine, USA Today, Elle, Bon Appetit, The Strad, and . Strings. Television appearances include ,' PBS's NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, WNET's City Arts and A&E's Biography of Beethoven. The ensemble has been the subject of two award-winning films: the nationally tele?vised WETA-TV production In Residence at the Renwick (Emmy Award for Excellence, 1983), and Making Music: The Emerson String Quartet (First Place for Music, _,_.__ National Education Film Festival, 1985). The Quartet is based in New York City.

Antonio Caldara was born in Venice around 1670, and thus was part of the most fertile era in Italian musical evolution. Even in such a productive period, Caldara's is clearly a name to remember, for he produced more than 3500 works. Only Antonio Vivaldi was ' more prolific.
As was so often the case with gifted boys of this cultural capital, his musical studies were undertaken at St. Mark's Cathedral. The life of a choirboy had no time for extracurricular relaxation. Days were filled with singing lessons, composition classes, improvisation drills, as well as copy?ing and re-copying the works of his masters. Eventually as a young adult, Caldara .;
received a commission as composer to the ' Duke of Mantua (the very same profligate as in Verdi's Rigoletto) and the first two arias on tonight's recital are taken from the first opera composed for that court. Considering this Duke's reputation, the opera's title, .gp Fidelity in Love Conquers Betrayal., could easily strike us as ironic in the extreme! All , joking aside, these two arias, sung by differ?ent characters in the opera, provide excelF-lent examples of Caldara's lyrical gifts and his firsthand physical knowledge of singing. Both arias employ the Baroque composer's ' preferred form of A-B-A, and because only ? keyboard accompanies the vocal soloist, there is ample room for improvisation and ornament. No information appears to exist ? about the third aria in tonight's group. It may be original, or it may be only ascribed
to Caldara. It certainly must have been com?posed much later than the preceding pair, perhaps when Caldara had become court m composer to the emperor in Vienna. Still f displaying great lyricism, its form is more, rhapsodic and no sections are repeated, ll Further, one cannot know with certainty jfl what was its original accompaniment; it simply appeared in collections for voice and piano early in the nineteenth century. Perhaps future scholarship will reveal its .'Jh origin. ?
afi
It is a pleasure to read Carl Loewe's name on tonight's program, as there is no sensible reason why its appearance should be such a ; rarity. Very prolific, Loewe produced more jj than 300 songs and ballads, plus numerous operas and oratorios. The few instrumental works he composed also have programmatic and highly descriptive titles (Spring, Alp-Fantasy, Gypsy-love Sonata, etc.) and his '? piano sonatas even contain movements for J voice obbligato. Born just one year earlier than his fellow songwriter, he is often called the North German Schubert. While he lacks the consistent melodic gift of his Viennese., colleague, he is unerring in his choice of dramatic subjects. His accompaniments are .? also no less picturesque than Schubert's. A singer himself, Loewe toured as a baritone throughout Europe and Scandinavia, and jB earned only praise from critics and audiM ences alike. His portrait of the watersprite ? that we hear tonight is from the last of his'j seven decades. 4
The ballad nature of Mr. Relyea's lieder group continues with Schumann's conversation between a hunter and the infamouslyjE celebrated Lorelei. Waldesgesprdch is the $0i third song in a set of twelve which :O$rS8 Schumann called Liederkreis. Whereas sL Heine's Lorelei drowns sailors in the Rhine, "? here Eichendorff's witch meets her prey face
to face in the forest. Her triumph is com?plete as she flings the hunter's cautionary ? words back in his face. Schumann had to invent two different accompaniments to ; depict this dialogue adequately; be sure to listen to the song's final measures, when the-jlj hunter's music is transformed, emasculated. -
It is useful to have a song of Schubert in the same group for comparison. Kriegers Ahnung is among Schubert's last efforts-the composer had only months to live. It was not published until after his death, when his publisher gathered fourteen songs, by three diverse poets together to construct a group Schubert had never envisioned: Schwanengesang. Here Schubert breaks with his traditional form and unified accompani?ment figure technique and pens a highly sectionalized ballad which seems the only ' way to set this text properly. Were the . . melody not so sublime, this could be a song1 of Loewe's.
Richard Strauss adored the soprano voice. Married to a singer, fully two-thirds ? of his songs and operatic gems have this ; instrument in mind. Tonight, however, we : hear a song from an opus specifically for : bass. The pair of songs which form Opus 51; were written for the Viennese bass-baritone': Paul Kniipfer who figured prominently in the premieres of Strauss' earliest operas, Guntram and Feuersnot. Never intended for piano accompaniment, this vocal "toneB poem" certainly is not text driven, and in . that respect it forms a perfect foil to the -story-telling songs that precede it this 3 evening. . -" '" s -;:; ??--? .;M
Any attempt to categorize his'musical style fi or development would have me with hostili-r ty and scorn from Charles Ives. America has certainly never produced a more eclectic composer, nor one willing to listen solely to his own inner ideals, forsaking accepted M
rules, forswearing success and even eschewing public performance altogether. We meet a different Charles Ives in each of his 151 gg$ songs.
The son of a church-going bandmaster and theory teacher, Charles idolized his . j father and never really desired to escape his musical influence, even when studying with esteemed composers such as Horatio Parker and Arthur Foote. Protestant hymns, tradi?tional New England folk-tunes and march?ing songs are always braided into Ives music, and the lines between composed arid borrowed can become very vague. You will hear this easily in the last two songs of ? tonight's quartet.
Charlie Rutlage is perhaps the ultimate, cowboy ballad. What seems completely ,'' tonal and conservative soon gives way to ; dissonance, polytonality, speaking rather than singing and two-fisted clusters for the pianist. Here too is no less a ballad than we have heard earlier tonight by Loewe andA., Schubert. 'S
Next, an unsophisticated child's remi?niscence of his dad (The Greatest Man) must have beckoned loudly to Ives, given his own close rapport with his father. Ives' art of capturing the boy's reluctance to speak and later his pride create one of last century's most touching portraits. 383
Ives wrote his own text for Down East, and this nostalgic Connecticut scene could not exist without its obvious use of a gttMs famous hymn. "
Finally, what many call Ives' finest song, a setting of Vachel Lindsay's great words describing the founder of the Salvation Army. Fanaticism, religious ecstasy and sim?ple faith share the stage equally, and summons the full range of compositional tech?niques at Ives' disposal. Note the imagina?tive way he creates the bass drum's inex'jjjjl orable march in the accompaniment; listen to the seemingly improvised shrieks of "Hallelujah!;" hear the sweetest of melodies
as Jesus appears in the doorway. This is Ives at his most masterful, and it is quite impos?sible to imagine these words in any other setting.
Jacques Ibert's chronology parallels that of Poulenc almost exactly. Parisian born just a few years earlier in 1890, Ibert is not nearly as prolific nor as well known as his col?league. His compositions are not confined to any particular genre, and Ibert seems equally comfortable with texted and non-texted works. He refused to be part of any system or philosophy, and claimed that "whatever worked" should be available to any musician. These four songs from 1932 can be performed with piano or with orchestra, and were written as incidental music to a film version of Cervantes' great novel depicting the noble but misguided .E9 knight. Hollywood invited composers to compete with one another to gain this com?mission, and Ibert won over no less a master than Maurice Ravel who submitted a trio of songs which were to be his final efforts as a composer. Ironically, the film was never pro?duced, but both Ibert's and Ravel's glimpses of Don Quixote's life have left the repertoire of baritones much richer in the process.
The first two songs feature alternation of song and recitative in a kind of rondo technique. Harmonies that we associate with twentieth-century France are juxtaposed against rhythms and articulations in the piano which we can only associate with Spain. Instead of closing the set in a rollick?ing mood (as did Ravel), Ibert chooses instead to depict Quixote's final words on earth. The knight's poignant assessment of his own life, and his farewell to his compan?ion Sancho are set atop a haunting habanera, and form one of Ibert's most inspired and memorable creations.

Pyotr Tchaikovsky is clearly the dominant musical Russian figure of the nineteenth : century. Because of his formal conservatory ' education (he was St. Petersburg's first grad?uate) he was always alienated from the self-taught nationalistic circle formed by his colleagues Mussorgsky, Borodin and others. ; But in his heart he was always Russian, and .] his frequent use of folksong, eastern ortho?dox chants, along with his immersion in _. .-. Russian poetry and philosophy more than-f--3 prove this point. Decades earlier, his prede?cessor Glinka had led the way to creating an art song tradition in Russia. Tchaikovsky had better texts at his disposal, more poetic i insight, and certainly more sophisticated ; compositional techniques owing to his edu?cation. He composed songs throughout his "; career, and tonight we hear examples covering a fifteen-year span. :
gjl None but the lonely heart has been an international favorite since its publication in ' 1870. Half of this early opus is on Russian j texts, and half on those of Goethe. :Wft Tchaikovsky does not try to capture -;: Mignon's neurosis nor her volatility; the v focus here is on her suffering and yearning.
The remainder of this group is set to ? texts of Tolstoy, which are as varied as are
their diverse sentiments. The vastness of ?__
Russia and Tchaikovsky's all-embracing love' $ of his people are captured in "I bless you, t Forests," while regret and disappointment in ] love, surely mirroring the composer's own j luckless life, are operatically painted in Over the golden cornfields. The reminiscence of a j chance meeting at a ball, the blend of exciteJ ment and anxiety, heard in Amid the din of. i the Ball.. .one of the composer's most inti-Ktsi mate songs depicts these feelings so well in ; the voice part, while the keyboard reminds ' us of the dancing, the festivity, the whirl of ! the senses.
Lastly, a baritone favorite, Don Juan calls : to his Nissetta to appear on her balcony.
This is a purely strophic song with a repeated .Terrain. It is the most conservative of these five, but it again shows us Tchaikovsky's consistent melodic and theatrical gifts. Who ' could resist this summons
ohn Relyea is rapidly establishing himself as one of the finest bass-baritones of today. ,j--
Mr. Relyea returned to the .' Metropolitan Opera in this season's opening production of Don Giovanni con?ducted by James Levine in the role of Masetto that was nationally televised. He made a sensational debut in February 2000 singing the role of Alidoro in La Cenerentola.
The winner of the San Francisco Opera's 1995 Merola Grand Finals, he continues his relationship with the San Francisco Opera, this season singing performances of Semele (Cadmus and Somnus) conducted by Sir ? Charles Mackerras. Mr. Relyea made his ' acclaimed debut with the company in the i summer of 1996 as Colline in La Boheme, .j and has since returned as Figaro in Le Nozze di Figaro, and Raimondo in Lucia di
? This season marks debuts for John Relyea i?ij'with the Monnaie Orchestra in Brussels in Sgjf Verdi's Requiem conducted by AntoniOsSJ & Pappano, the New York Philharmonic {Dream jsof Gerontius under the baton of Sir Colin H Davis) and his New York recital debut which IP takes place at Weill Recital Hall, Carnegie $ Hall in May 2001. He also performed Verdi's Jp$ Requiem on tour with the Swedish Radio j j$l: Symphony Orchestra in Stockholm, New I l$k York (Avery Fisher Hall) Washington DC fe?" (Kennedy Center), Chicago and here in Ann Tfc Arbor. Mr. Relyea returns this season to 1$, Carnegie Hall as bass soloist in the Rossini j5v Stabat Mater conducted by Sir Neville i

String Quartet in F Major, K. 590
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Born January 27, 1756 in Salzburg Died December 5, 1791 in Vienna
Given the steady deterioration in Mozart's health as well as the finances and prospects in Vienna at the begin?ning of 1789, it is not surprising that Mozart eagerly accepted the invitation of a fellow Mason and former student, Prince Karl Lichnowsky, to assess career possibilities in Berlin. Lichnowsky, an officer in the Prussian army, regularly visited the court at Berlin, and suggested that he could arrange an audience with King Frederick William II, nephew and successor of the immensely cultured Frederick the Great and an avid music lover and a cellist of more than modest accomplishment.
In Berlin, Mozart met with the King's director of chamber music, the French cello virtuoso Jean Pierre Duport, and renewed his acquaintance with the oboist Friedrich Ramm, who had won the composer's friendship in Mannheim a dozen years earlier by per?forming the Oboe Concerto (K. 314) five times in ten days. On May 19, Mozart attended a performance of The Abduction from the Seraglio at the Imperial Theater in his honor, and heard a concert by his student, the eleven-year-old Johann Nepomuk Hummel, whose ambitious father was then shepherding his prodigious child through an extensive concert tour of Europe. On May 26, Mozart was finally granted an audience with the King, which went well enough for Frederick William to commission from the Viennese visitor a set of six string quar-
tets for himself and a half-dozen piano sonatinas for his eldest daughter, Fredericka. As down payment, Mozart was presented with 100 Friedrichs d'or in a fine gold box.
Mozart arrived home in Vienna on June 4,1789, and immediately set to work on the commission for the Prussian court. Sometime in July (the manuscripts were not dated precisely), he completed the Quartet in D Major (K. 575) and one of the piano sonatas (K. 576)--and then stopped. His health was poor that summer, his finances worse, and his worry about Constanze, pregnant for the fifth time in seven years, acute, and most of what energy he could muster was channeled into preparing the revival of Figaro ordered by Emperor Joseph II for the end of August. The Third "Prussian" Quartet in F Major (K. 590), Mozart's last work in the form, was finished in June. Unable to fulfill the balance of the commission and desperate for cash, Mozart sold the three quartets to Artaria for a pittance later that year. Artaria waited, in vain, for the three other quartets that would complete the set, and did not announce their publication until December 28, 1791, three weeks after Mozart died. Frederick William probably never saw or heard these works that his patronage had inspired.
As would be expected in a composi?tion made to order for a cello-playing king, that instrument is given a featured prominence throughout these quartets, a technique that causes the viola and second violin to be drawn thoroughly into the music's unfolding argunient in order to achieve tonal balance and tex-tural homogeneity. This conversational
quality is heard in the opening move?ment of the Quartet in F Major (K. 590), where the cello provides both the bass of the ensemble and a worthy partner for the upper voices. The main theme is built from a simple rising triad followed by a quick dash down the scale, and these two motives provide the material for much of what follows. Indeed, so potent did the little triad idea prove to be that Mozart cobbled from it the theme of the "Menuetto" and the (king?ly) bass line at the beginning of the "Andante." The opening movement pro?ceeds in the expected sonata form--the second theme is a tastefully arching melody initiated by the first violin--but not without some quirks of rhythm, phrasing and harmony indicative of the Romantic tendencies that increasingly marked the music of Mozart's last years.
The "Andante," another sonata form, carefully balances the short hym?nal phrases of its opening with smooth?ly flowing ribbons of scales and arpeg?gios. Though the "Menuetto" uses the familiar dance idiom that two genera?tions of Viennese composers had brought to maturity, it, like the first movement, has unsettling anomalies, the most evident of which are its eccen?tric phrase structures: fourteen mea?sures for the opening theme rather than the expected, symmetrical sixteen mea?sures, fourteen for its return; and ten measures for the opening theme of the Trio, fifteen (!) for its reprise. Though the playful finale, yet another sonata form, is less daring than the "Menuetto," it stops and starts in unexpected places, changes dynamics willfully, and indulges in more intricate counterpoint than some Viennese music lovers of the day
might have thought strictly necessary. For all of its elegance and polish, the String Quartet F Major is as forward-looking as Don Giovanni, the Requiem and the Symphony in g minor, mined with the time bombs of Romanticism that Beethoven would detonate after arriving in Vienna only ten months after Mozart died. Planted among these notes are the seeds of a new musical age that Mozart helped to nurture but would not live to see.
String Quartet, Op. 11
Samuel Barber
Born March 9,1910 in West Chester,
Pennsylvania Died January 23, 1981 in New York
During the spring of 1936, while living in Europe under the sponsorship of both a Pulitzer Traveling Scholarship and an American Prix de Rome, Samuel Barber wandered through Switzerland and Austria before settling for the sum?mer and early autumn in a little lodge rented from the local game warden at St. Wolfgang, just east of Salzburg. In this idyllic spot, at the foot of a moun?tain, with a stream trickling along the side of the house, Barber composed the chorus Let Down the Bars, O Death, the song Hear an Army and his only string quartet. By early November, he was back in Rome to prepare for the premieres of the Symphony No. 1 and the String Quartet the following month. The con?certs were a success. Barber set out immediately for America to hear Artur Rodzinski present the first American performance of his Symphony No. 1 with the Cleveland Orchestra on
January 22, 1937, just a month after its premiere. On July 25, Rodzinski again conducted the score, at the Salzburg Festival, making it the first American piece heard at that prestigious event. The chief conductor of the Salzburg Festival at that time was Arturo Toscanini, who was to begin his tenure with the NBC Symphony later that year. Toscanini asked Rodzinskiif he could suggest an American composer whose work he might program during the coming season, and Rodzinski advised that his Italian colleague investigate the music of the twenty-seven-year-old Barber. By October, Barber had com?pleted and submitted to Toscanini the Essay No. 1 for Orchestra and an arrangement for string orchestra of the slow movement from the String Quartet--the Adagio for Strings. Toscanini performed the Essay No. 1 and the Adagio for Strings on his November 5, 1938 broadcast with the NBC Symphony, and the Adagio was an instant success.
The String Quartet follows an unusual formal progression. Barber considered the work to be in just two movements: a large, fully worked-out sonata form, followed by the "Adagio" and an abbreviated recall of the opening movement. This structure places the "Adagio," with its plaintive melody, rich modalism, and austere texture at both the formal and expressive center of the Quartet, and it is the music that remains most vibrantly in the mind when the work is through. The opening move?ment, in b minor, provides an expressive foil to the "Adagio." Its first theme, given at the outset in unison, is energetic and rather deliberately modern in its aggres-
sive harmony. Barber's innate lyricism is manifested, however, in the contrasting second and third themes: one, presented in chordal fashion, is delicately modal in its harmony; the other is a simple, wide-ranging melody initiated by the first violin above an almost static accompa?niment. These three themes are devel?oped and then recapitulated to round out the movement.

As a ray of sun, mild and serene
upon placid waves rests,
while within the sea's profound bosom
hides the tempest:
so laughter, sometimes gay and peaceful
touches lips with contentment and joy
while in its secret depths the wounded heart
anguishes and tortures itself.
Der Nock, Op. 129, No. 2
Carl Loewe {August Kopisch)
Es tont des Nocken Harfenschall:
Da steht der wildc Wasscrfall,
Umschwebt mit Schaum und Wogen
Den Nock im Regenbogen.
Die Baume neigen
Sich tief und schweigen,
Und atmend horcht die Nachtigall.
O Nock, was hilft das Singen dein
Du kannst ja doch nicht selig sein!
Wie kann dein Singen taugen
Der Nock erhebt die Augen,
Sieht an die Kleinen,
Beginnt zu weinen...
Und senkt sich in die Flut hinein.
Da rauscht und braust der Wasserfall,
Hoch fliegt hinweg die Nachtigall,
Die Baume heben machtig
Die Haupter griin und prachtig.
O weh, es haben
Die wilden Knaben
Den Nock betriibt im Wasserfall!
Komm wieder, Nock, du singst so schon!
Wer singt, kann in den Himmel gehn!
Du wirst mit deinem Klingen
Zum Paradiese dringen!
O komm, es haben
Gescherzt die Knaben:
Komm wieder, Nock, und singe schon!
Da tont des Nocken Harfenschall,
Und wieder steht der Wasserfall,
Umschwebt mit Schaum und Wogen
Den Nock im Regenbogen.
Die Baume neigen
Sich tief und schweigen,
Und atmend horcht die Nachtigall.
Es spielt der Nock und singt mit Macht
Von Meer und Erd und Himmelspracht.
Mit Singen kann er lachen
Und selig weinen machen!
Der Wald erbebet,
Die Sonn entschwebet...
Er singt bis in die Sternennacht!
The Nix
The nix's harp gives forth its sound:
The unruly waterfall stands still,
Its foam, its waves are poised
In the rainbow about the nix.
The trees bow
Low and are silent
The nightingale draws breath and listens.
"O nix, to what end your singing
Blissful can you never be
How can your singing serve"
The nix raises his eyes,
Looks at the little ones,
Begins to weep...
And plunges into the flood.
The waterfall roars and rushes,
High and away the nightingale flies
The trees raise mightily
Their green magnificent tops.
Oh dear, they have,
Those noisy boys,
Disturbed the nix in the waterfall!
"Come back, nix, you sing so sweet
Any who do, may enter heaven.
You, with those notes of yours,
Will win through to paradise!
Oh come, they were
Jesting, those boys.
Come back, nix. And sweetly sing."
The nix's harp gives forth its sound
And again the waterfall stands still
Its foam, its waves are poised
As a rainbow about the nix.
The trees bow
Low and are silent,
The nightingale draws breath and listens.
Powerfully the nix plays and sings
Of sea, earth, heavenly splendour.
By his singing, laughter can he
Cause, and blissful tears!
The wood trembles,
The sun fades...
He sings into the starry night!
Waldesgesprach, Op. 39, No. 3
Robert Schumann
Es ist schon spat, es ist schon kalt, Was reitest du einsam durch den Wald Der Wald ist lang, du bist allein, Du schone Braut! Ich fiihr dich heim!
"Grofi ist der Manner Trug und List, Vor Schmerz mein Herz gebrochen ist, Wohl irrt das Waldhorn her und hin, O flieh! Du weifit nicht, wer ich bin."
So reich geschmiickt ist R08 und Weib, So wunderschon der junge Leib, Jetzt kenn ich dich--Gott steht mir bei! Du bist die Hexe Lorelei.
"Du kennst mich wohl--vom hohen Stein Schaut still mein SchloC tief in den Rhein. Es ist schon spat, es ist schon kalt, Kommst nimmermehr aus diesem Wald."
Kriegers Ahnung, D. 957, No. 2 Franz Schubert
In tiefer Ruh liegt um mich her Der Waffenbruder Kreis; Mir ist das Herz so bang und schwer, Von Sehnsucht mir so heifi.
Wie hab ich oft so siifi getraumt An ihrem Busen warm! Wie freundlich schien des Herdes Glut, Lag sie in meinem Arm!
Hier, wo der Flammen diistrer Schein Ach! nur auf Waffen spielt, Hier fiihlt die Brust sich ganz allein, Der Wehmut Trine quillt.
Herz! Dafi der Trost dich nicht verlafit! Es ruft noch manche Schlacht. Bald ruh ich wohl und schlafe fest, Herzliebste--gute Nacht!
Wood Dialogue
It is already late, it is already cold; why ride you lonely through the wood The wood is long, you are alone, lovely bride! I will lead you home.
"Great are men's deceit and guile; sorrow has broken my heart; the horn sounds here, sounds there, oh flee! You know not who I am."
So richly decked are steed and lady, so young and fair of figure is she, Now--God is with me--I know you! You are the Sorceress Lorelei.
"You know me indeed--from lofty rock my castle gazes down into the Rhine. It is late, it is cold, Nevermore shall you leave this wood."
Warrior's Foreboding
In deep sleep lies around me The circle of my brothers-in-arms; My heart is anxious and heavy So passionate in longing
How often have I sweetly dreamt Close to her warm bosom! How warmly gleamed the glowing hearth When she lay in my arm!
Here where the fire's dimmer gleam Plays, alas! On weapons only. The heart feels utterly alone, And tears of sadness spring forth.
Heart, let not comfort forsake you! Many a battle calls you yet, I shall soon rest and be fast asleep, My heart's dearest love, goodnight!

Wie willst du dich mir offenbaren, i
Wie ungewohnt, geliebtes Tal '
Nur in den frtihsten Jugendjahren ;
Erschienst du so mir manches Mai. '
Die Sonne schon hinabgegangen, Doch aus den Bachen ldarer Schein; Kein Liiftchen spielt mir um die Wangen, Doch sanftes Rauschen in dem Hain.
Es duftet wieder alte Liebe, Es griinet wieder alte Lust; Ja, selbst die alten Liedertriebe Beleben diese kalte Brust. ?
Natur, wohl braucht es solcher Stunden, i So innig, so liebevoll, " -
Wenn dieses arme Herz gesunden, Das welkende genesen soil. t--
?m__,
Bedrangt mich einst die Welt noch banger, 1
So such' ich wieder dich mein Tal, ;
Empfange dann den kranken Sanger ' Mit solcher Milde noch einmal. n
Und sink' ich dann ermattet nieder, --r So offne leise deinen Grund j
Und nimm mich auf und schliefi' inn wieder Und griine frohlich und gesund. i
The Valley
How will you reveal yourself to me, "" How unfamiliar, beloved valley You did so appear to me now and again, Only in my earliest youth.
The sun has set;
Still, the brooks reflect its glow.
The air is still, no breeze touches my face. But softly murmurs the meadow.
The air is fragrant with past love And former passion reignites, Old songs of love almost forgotten Rekindle this cold heart.
Nature, such times are needed, So close, so full of love, If this poor heart should heal And be made whole again.
The world oppresses me, so anxious-And I search you once again, my valley; Welcome me, the ailing singer With loving sweetness as you did before.
When I lay down, weary, on your grass, (
So softly open up your ground and
Take me in and close it up again
And green once more so healthy and content.
Charles Ives
Charlie Rutlage
(Traditional Frontier Song)
Another good cowpuncher has gone to meet his fate,
I hope he'll find a resting place, within the golden gate.
Another place is vacant on the ranch of the XIT,
'Twill be hard to find another that's liked as well as he.
The first that died was Kid White, a man both tough and brave,
While Charlie Rutlage makes the third to be sent to his grave,
Caused by a cowhorse falling, while running after stock;
'Twas on the spring round up, a place where death men mock,
He went forward one morning on a circle through the hills,
He was gay and full of glee, and free from earthly ills;
But when it came to finish up the work on which he went,
Nothing came back from him; his time on earth was spent.
'Twas as he rode the round up, a XIT turned back to the herd;
Poor Charlie shoved him in again, his cutting horse he spurred;
Another turned; at that moment his horse the creature spied
And turned and fell with him, beneath poor Charlie died,
His relations in Texas his face never more will see,
But I hope he'll meet his loved ones beyond in eternity,
I hope he'll meet his parents, will meet them face to face,
And that they'll grasp him by the right hand at the shining throne of grace.
The Greatest Man
(Anne Collins)
My teacher said us boys should write
about some great man, so I thought last night
'n thought about heroes and men
that had done great things,
'n then I got to thinkin' 'bout my pa;
he ain't a hero 'r anything but pshaw!
Say! He can ride the wildest hoss
'n find minners near the moss
down by the creek; 'n he can swim
'n fish, we ketched five new lights, me 'n him!
Dad's some hunter too--oh, my!
Miss Molly Cottontail sure does fly
when he tromps through the fields 'n brush!
(Dad won't kill a lark 'r thrush.)
Once when I was sick 'n though his hands were rough
he rubbed the pain right out. "That's the stuff!"
he said when I winked back the tears. He never cried
but once 'n that was when my mother died.
There're lots o' great men: George Washinton 'n Lee,
but Dad's got 'em all beat holler, seems to me!
Down East
(Ives) _______________
Songs! Visions of my homeland, come with strains of childhood,
Come with tunes we sang in school days
and with songs from mother's heart;
Way down east in a village by the sea,
stands an old, red farm house that watches o'er the lea;
All that is best in me, lying deep in memory,
draws my heart where I would be, nearer to thee.
Ev'ry Sunday morning, when the chores were almost done,
from that little parlor sounds the old melodeon,
"Nearer my God to Thee, nearer to Thee,"
With those strains a stronger hope comes nearer to me.
General William Booth Enters into Heaven
{Vachel Lindsay)
Booth led boldly with his big bass drum--
(Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb)
Saints smiled gravely and they said:
"He's come washed in the blood of the Lamb."
Walking lepers followed, rank on rank,
Lurching bravoes from the ditches dank,
Drabs from the alleyways and drug fiends pale--
Minds still passion-ridden, soul-powers frail--
Vermin-eaten saints with moldy breath,
Unwashed legions with the ways of Death-r--
(Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb) .;
Every slum had sent its half-a-score " ? -?
The round world over. (Booth had groaned for more.)
Every banner that the wide world flies
Bloomed with glory and transcendent dyes
Big-voiced lasses made their banjos bang,
Tranced, fanatical they shrieked and sang:
"Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb"
Hallelujah! It was queer to see
Bull-necked convicts with the land make free.
Loons with trumpets blowed a blare, blare, blare '
On, on upward thro' the golden air!
(Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb)
Jesus came from out of the court-house door, '.,?' ''-?:'-"-'1
Stretched his hands above the passing poor.
Booth saw not, but led his queer ones ;
Round and round... 7T
Yet in an instant all the blear review
Marched on spotless, clad in raiment new.
The lame were straightened, withered limbs uncurled
And blind eyes opened on a new, sweet world. ;
(Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb)
Chansons de Don Quichotte
Jacques Ibert
Chanson du Depart
{Pierre de Ronsard)
Ce chateau neuf, ce nouvel edifice Tout enrichi de marbre et de porphyre Qu'amour batit chateau de son empire Ou tout le ciel a mis son artifice, Est un rempart, un fort contre le vice, Ou la vertueuse maitresse se retire, Que l'oeil regarde et que l'esprit
admire Forcant les coeurs a lui faire service.
C'est un chateau, fait de telle sorte Que nul ne peut approcher de la porte Si des grands rois il n'a sauve' sa race Victorieux, vaillant et
amoureux.
Nul chevalier tant soit aventureux Sans ?tre tel ne peut gagner la place.
Chanson a Dulcine'e
(Alexander Arnoux)
Un an me dure la journe'e Si je ne vois ma Dulcin6e.
Mais, amour a peint son visage, Afin d'adoucir ma langueur, Dans la fontaine et le nuage, Dans chaque aurore et chaque fleur.
Un an me dure la journe Si je ne vois ma Dulcine'e.
Toujours proche et toujours lointaine, Etoile de mes longs chemins, Le vent m'apporte son haleine Quand il passe sur les jasmins.
Un an me dure la journe'e Si je ne vois ma Dulcine'e.
Song of Departure
The new castle, this new edifice Decorated with marble and porphyry A castle built under love's dominion With heavenly skills, Is a fortress, a stronghold against vice, Where the virtuous lady can take refuge, She who attracts admiration both physically
and spiritually Compelling hearts to pay her homage
This castle is fashioned in such a way That no one can approach its gate Unless he, victorious, brave and amorous Has delivered his kith and kin from powerful
kings.
Unless he is of such worth, no knight, However valiant, will gain entry there.
Song for Dulcinea
Each day seems like a year Without my Dulcinea.
But, in order to sweeten my torpor
Love has sketched her face
In fountains, in clouds
In each dawn and every flower.
Each day seems like a year Without my Dulcinea.
Now close, now distant,
She is the star of my long journey.
Her breath travels on the wind
As it breezes over the jasmine bushes.
Each day seems like a year Without my Dulcinea.
Chanson du Due
(Arnoux)
Je veux chanter ici la dame de mes songes Qui m'exalte au-dessus de ce siede de boue. Son coeur de diamant est vierge de mensonges La rose s'obscurcit au regard de sa joue. Pour elle j'ai tent6 les hautes
aventures:
Mon bras a de'livre' la princesse en servage, J'ai vaincu l'enchanteur, confondu les
parjures Et ploy? l'univers a lui rendre
1'hommage.
Dame par qui je vais, seul dessus cette terre, Qui ne soit prisonnier de la fausse apparence. Je soutiens contre tout chevalier timeYaire Votre eclat non pareil et votre prcellence.
Chanson de la mort
(Arnoux)
Ne pleure pas Sancho, ne pleure pas
mon bon Ton maitre n'est pas mort, il n'est pas loin
de toi.
II vit dans une He heureuse Oil tout est pur et sans mensonges Dans File enfin trouvie ou tu viendras un jour, Dans l'ile disire'e, O mon ami
Sancho! Les livres sont bruits et font un tas de
cendres Si tous les livres m'ont tut il
suffit d'un,
II suffit d'un pour que je vive. Fantome dans la vie, et r?el dans la mort: Tel est l'itrange sort du pauvre Don
Quichotte.
Song of the Duke
I want now to sing of the lady of my dreams, Who raises me above this corrupt age. Her jewelled heart is undefiled, The rose fades in comparison to her cheeks. For her sake I have embarked on dangerous
adventures:
I have freed the captive princess, I have vanquished the impostor, exposed the
dishonest And conquered the universe to pay her
homage.
Lady, for whom I travel alone on this earth, Who is not taken in by false pretences, I defend your unrivalled beauty and Perfection against any foolhardy knight.
Song of the Death
Do not weep, Sancho, do not weep, my
faithful servant Your master is not dead, he is close to
you.
He lives in a happy realm Where everything is pure and without deceit, That realm so long sought and at last found Where you, my good friend Sancho, will
come one day! The books are burnt and reduced to a pile of
ashes; If all those books were the cause of my
death,
I need only one book to make me live. A ghost in life, real in death: Such is the strange fate of the wretched Don
Quixote.
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

I bless you Forests, Op. 47, No. 5
{Count Aleksei Konstantinovitch Tolstoy)
Blagoslovlyayu vas, lesa,
Doliny, nivy, gory, vody, . .
Blagoslovlyayu ya svobodu
I golubyye nebesa!
I posokh moy blagoslovlyayu,
I 'etu bednuyu sumu,

No, only he who has known
No! only he who has known that yearning
for a reunion Will understand how I have suffered, and
suffer still! I gave into the distance, and I've no strength,
my eyes grow dim! Ah! The one who loved me and knew me is
far away! Ah! Only he who has known that yearning
for a reunion Will understand how I have suffered, and
suffer still. My breast is afire! He who has known that yearning Will understand how I have suffered, and
suffer still.
I bless you, forests,
Valleys, fields, mountains, streams,
I bless freedom
And the blue skies!
I bless my staff
And this poor bag of mine
And the endless steppe
And the sun's light, and night's darkness,
And the lonely path I tread
Beggar as I am
And each blade of grass in the field
And each star in the sky!
Oh, if only I could join my whole life
And blend my soul with yours;
Oh, if only I could embrace
You, my enemies, friends and brothers
And all nature, all nature
Enfold in my arms!
Over the golden cornfields, Op. 57, No. 2
(Tolstoy)
Na nivy zholtiye Niskhodit tishina, V ostyvshem vozdukhe Ot merknushchikh seleniy, Drozha, nesyotsja zvon... Dusha moja polna Razlukoyu s toboy I gor'kikh sozhalenij.

Dusha moya polna Razlukoyu s toboy, I gorkikh sozhaleniy.
Amid the din of the Ball, Op. 38, No. 3
(Tolstoy)
Sred shumnovo bala, sluchayno,
V trevoge mirskoy suyety, Tebya ya uvidel, no tayna Tvoi pokryvala cherty; Lish ochi pechal'no glyadeli, A golos tak divno zvuchal, Kak zvon otdalyonnoy svireli, Kak morya igrayushchy val.
Mne stan tvoy ponravilya tonky
I ves tvoy zadumchivy vid, j
A smekh tvoy i grustny i zvonky
S tekh por v moyom serdtse zvuchit!
V chasy odinokiye nochi Lyublyu ya ustalyi prilech, Ya vizhu pechal'nyye ochi, Ya slyshu vesyoluyu rech;
I grustno ya, grustno tak zasypayu, I v gryozakh nevedomykh splyu. Lyublyu li tebya, ya ne znayu, No kazhetsa mne, shto lyublyu! j
Over the golden cornfields
Silence descends;
In the cooling air,
From the darkening villages
Is heard the quivering sound of bells
My soul is full
Of the parting with you,
And bitter regrets.
And each of my reproaches
I recall anew,
And repeat again
Every kind word
I might have said to you,
My love, my love,
But which I sternly buried
In the depths of my heart!
My soul is full
Of the parting with you
And bitter regrets.
Amid the din of the ball
In the tumult of everyday bustle,
I chanced to see you, but a secret
Veiled your features;
Only your eyes looked on sadly,
But your voice sounded so divine,
Like the sound of a distant pipe,
Like the sea's playful wave.
I loved your slender figure
And your pensive look,
And your laughter, at once sad and vibrant,
Has rung out in my heart since then!
When, in the lonely hours of the night,
I am weary and would lie down to rest,
I see your sad eyes,
And hear your happy voice.
Then sadly, so sadly, I sink into sleep A sleep of dreams beyond recall. I do not know if I love you, But it seems to me that I do!
Don Juan's Serenade, Op. 38, No. 1
(Tolstoy)
Gasnut dal'ney Al'pukhary
Zolotisyye kraya,
Na prizyvny zvon gitary
Vyydi, milaya moya!
Vsekh, kto skazhet, shto drugaya
Zdes rovnyayctsa s toboy,
Vsekh, lyuboviyu sgaraya,
Vsekh, vsekh, vsekh zovu na smertny boy!
Ot lunnovo sveta zardel nebosklon, O vyydi, Niseta, O vyydi, Niseta, skorey na balkon!
Ot Sevil'a do Grenady... V tikhom sumrake nochey, Razdayutsa serenady, Razdayotsa stuk mechey. Mnogo krovi, mnogo pesni Dlya prelestnykh l'yotsa dam, Ya zhe toy, kto vsekh prelestney, Vsyo, vsyo, pesn' i krov moyu otdam!
Ot lunnovo sveta Zardel nebosklon, O vyydi, Niseta, O vyydi, Niseta, Skorey na balkon!
The golden land of Alpujarra
Is clothed in darkness,
To the call of my guitar
Come out, my darling!
All who say that another
Is your equal here,
All of them, consumed with love as I am,
All, all, all of them I call to mortal combat!
The sky glows red From the light of the moon, Oh, come out Niseta, Oh, come out Niseta, Quickly on to the balcony!
From Seville to Grenada In the quiet dusk of night, Serenades ring out, And the clash of swords rings out. Much blood, many songs, Pour out for lovely women, And I too, for her who is the fairest of all, Will give away everything, my song and my blood!
The sky glows red From the light of the moon, Oh, come out Niseta, Oh, come out Niseta, Quickly on to the balcony!
