((LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
'm delighted to welcome you to this performance presented by the University Musical Society (UMS) of the University of Michigan. Thank ' you for supporting the performing arts in our community by your attendance at this event. Please consider coming to some of our other performances this season. You'll find a complete listing beginning on page 29.
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 fSIM 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 possin 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

UMSannals
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 regional orchestras, and soon added Britten's War Requiem, Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius, the Berlioz Requiem and other masterworks to its repertoire. During the 1996-97 season, the Choral Union again expanded its scope to include performances with the Grand Rapids Symphony, joining with them in a rare presentation of Mahler's Symphony No. 8 (Symphony of a Thousand).
The Choral Union is a talent pool capable of performing choral music of every genre. In
addition to choral masterworks, the Choral Union has recently given acclaimed concert presentations of Gershwin's Porgy and Bess with the Birmingham-Bloomfield Symphony Orchestra and musical-theatre favorites with Erich Kunzel and the DSO at Meadow Brook. A 72-voice chorus drawn from the larger choir has performed Durufle's Requiem, the Langlais Messe Solenelle, the Mozart Requiem and other works. The Choral Union's 36-voice Chamber Chorale presented "Creativity in Later Life," a program of late works by nine composers of all historical periods, at the University of Michigan Museum of Art.
During the 1999-2000 season, the Choral Union performed in three major subscription series at Orchestra Hall with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. 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 of townspeople, students and faculty, members of the Choral Union share one common passion--a love of the choral art. For more information about the UMS Choral Union, e-mail kio@umich.edu or call 734.763.8997.
AUDITORIABU RTO MORTAL TOW
Hill Auditorium
tanding tall and proud in the heart of the University of Michigan campus, Hill Auditorium is associated with the best perform?ing artists the world has to offer. Inaugurated at the Twentieth Annual Ann Arbor May Festival in 1913, the 4,163-seat Hill Auditorium has served as a showplace for a variety of important debuts and long relationships throughout the past eighty-seven years. With acoustics that highlight everything from the softest notes of vocal recitalists to the grandeur of the finest orchestras, Hill Auditorium is known and loved throughout the world.
Former U-M regent Arthur Hill bequeathed $200,000 to the University for the construction of an auditorium for lectures, concerts and other university events. Then-UMS President Charles Sink raised an additional $150,000, and the concert hall opened in 1913 with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra performing Beethoven's Symphony No. 5. The auditori?um seated 4,597 when it first opened; subse?quent renovations, which increased the size of the stage to accommodate both an orchestra and a large chorus (1948) and improved wheelchair seating (1995), decreased the seating capacity to its current 4,163.------
Rackham Auditorium M
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 g 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). jgiiii
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 L made the church a gathering place 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
"lie 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. 'HJlHf
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. ? --'---

irk MornS'Was born dfi August 29, 1956 in Seattle, Washington, where he studied as a young man with Verla Flowers and Perry Brunson. He performed with a variety of companies in the early years of his career, including the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company, Hannah Kahn Dance Company, Laura Dean Dancers and Musicians, Eliot Feld Ballet, and the Koleda Balkan Dance Ensemble. He formed the Mark Morris Dance Group (MMDG) in 1980, and has since created over ninety works for the Dance Group, and over a dozen commissions for ballet companies, including San Francisco Ballet, Paris Opera Ballet, and American Ballet Theatre. From
1988-1991 he was Director of Dance at the Theatre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels, the national opera house of Belgium. During his tenure there, he created twelve pieces Jfl including three evening-length works: The Hard Nut (his comic book-inspired version of The Nutcracker); L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato; and Dido and Aeneas, and founded the White Oak Dance Project with Mikhail Baryshnikov. Mr. Morris is noted for his musicality--he has been described as "undeviating in his devotion to music"-and for his "ability to conjure so many con?tradictory styles and emotions." He has worked extensively in opera. He directed and choreographed a Royal Opera, Covent Garden production of Rameau's Platee that premiered at the Edinburgh International
Festival in 1997 and had its New York debut with The New York City Opera in April 2000 at Lincoln Center. Most recently, he directed and choreographed the June 2000 English National Opera production of Four Saints in Three Acts. Mr. Morris was named a Fellow of the MacArthur Foundation in 1991, and he is the subject of a biography by Joan Acocella (Farrar, Straus & Giroux). m
? ark Morris Dance Group was formed in 1980 and gave its first performance that year in New York City. In the following years, the Company's touring schedule steadily expanded to include cities in the US and in Europe and, in 1986, the Dance Group made its first national televi?sion program for the PBS Dance in America scries. In 1988, the Mark Morris Dance .j? Group was invited to become the national'? ' dance company of Belgium. During its three years as resident company of the Theatre J Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels, the Dance Group was the subject of several television programs, including the UK's South Bank Show. The company returned to the US in 1991 as one of the world's leading dance companies, performing across the US and at major international festivals. The Dance Group has maintained and strengthened its ties to several cities around the world, most notably Berkeley, CA where, for the past sev?eral years, the Dance Group has performed twice annually at CalPerformances--includ?ing presentations of The Hard Nut each December from 1996-2000. Audiences have also become accustomed to the Dance lit! Group's regular and frequent appearances in Boston, MA; Seattle, WA; Fairfax, VA; London, England; and at the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival in Becket, MA. The Dance Group was named the official dance compa?ny (2000-2005) of the Virginia Waterfront International Arts Festival. In addition to a full international touring schedule, the .
Dance Group has completed three film pro?jects: an Emmy Award-winning collabora?tion with cellist Yo-Yo Ma entitled Falling '? Down Stairs using Bach's Suite No. 3 for unaccompanied cello, a film version of Mr. Morris' Dido and Aeneas and a video of The Hard Nut. In fall 2000, MMDG was the sub?ject of a second documentary for London's ' South Bank Show. In 1997 the Dance Group : won the Laurence Olivier Award for "Best i New Dance Production" for their British premiere performances of L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato with English ?
National Opera. The Mark Morris Dance i Group celebrated its twentieth anniversary ? with a three-week season at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in March 2001. In spring ? 2001, MMDG will open the Mark Morris Dance Center in Brooklyn, New York. This 30,000 square-foot facility will feature three studios, and will be the company's first per?manent headquarters in the US. '; '??
These performances mark the Mark Morris Dance Group's seventh and eighth appear?ances under UMS auspices. The company first??' appeared under UMS auspices on March 20, ' 1993 at the Power Center. 1
Founded in 1914, the Detroit Symphony ':i Orchestra (DSO) is heard live by over j
450,000 people annually in a year-round 1 performance schedule that includes twenty-six weeks of Classical subscription concerts, as well as a Pops series, Ameritech Paradise 1 Jazz Series, Holiday Festival, The Detroit News Young People's Concerts and a diverse summer season.

Motors' "Mark of Excellence" radio series. Hosted by one of America's most famous radio and television personalities, Dick Cavett, the broadcasts are heard by over one million listeners each week on nearly 500 radio stations across the country.
In 1996, the DSO announced plans for a three-phase Orchestra Place Development Project, an educational, performing arts and officeretail complex to be located on eight acres of land adjoining Orchestra Hall. Phase I, now complete, is a five-story office build?ing that serves as the corporate headquarters for the DMC and the DSO. Scheduled to break ground in spring 2001, is Phase II, a major expansion to Orchestra Hall that will be named The Max M. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts and will provide a new multi-story atrium lobby, a state-of-the-art box office, elevators, restrooms, practice rooms and other critical support facilities. Additionally, the expansion will house a 550-seat recital hall, as well as the new Jacob Bernard Pincus Music Education Center.
Phase III, tentatively scheduled to open in the fall of 2004, is a new Detroit public high school and broadcast technology com?plex. The new high school will include a state-of-the-art digital telecommunications center, a new broadcast center and DPS' radio station WDTR-FM.

Now in its fortieth season, the Ann Arbor Cantata Singers (AACS) continues a long tradition of professional excellence in the performance of fine choral music. Founded by Dr. Rosella Duerksen, who saw a need in the community for a small, independent,
high-quality chorus, the AACS was nurtured through the 1960s by directors Robert Pratt, Paul Foelber, Morris RisenhooVer, and Richard Crawford. Conductor Bradley Bloom, who retired in 1994, led the ensemble for twenty years and solidified its reputation as one of the finest choruses in the region. For the past six years, the AACS has continued to grow and flourish and under the enthusiastic leadership of William Boggs.
The AACS is a non-profit, semi-profes?sional chorus run by an elected board of directors. Singers are chosen by audition on the basis of musicianship, and the ensemble includes professional singers and instrumen?talists, as well as teachers, doctors, students, homemakers, retirees, and people from the business world. The high musical caliber of the membership makes it possible to draw the majority of soloists from within the group.
The AACS has been invited to perform throughout Michigan and has collaborated regularly with local ensembles such as the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra. Members of the chorus have performed at the Ann Arbor Summer Festival, have traveled to the Classical Music Seminar in Eisenstadt, Austria, and have sung for academic and professional conferences and meetings. ......
In 1996, the Washtenaw County .!?? Council for the Arts honored the Ann Arbor Cantata Singers with its "Annie Award" for "Excellence in the Performing Arts."

Requiem, Op. 5
Hector Berlioz
Born December 11, 1803 in La Cdte-Saint-
Andre, here, France Died March 8, 1869 in Paris
-----? t took the French a long time to
acknowledge Berlioz as one of their greatest composers. For many years after his death, his music was neglected in his own country. Neither Debussy nor Ravel thought very highly of him; the Berlioz renaissance of the twentieth century started from other countries, mainly Britain and Germany, and all the major critical studies were written there and in the US. Yet Berlioz is as French as the Eiffel Tower, and he is as unique and as "towering" as that famous Parisian landmark. But for all his bold innovations, he continues an earlier French musical tradition that is all but forgotten today. With whole generations of French composers before Berlioz having disappeared from the repertoire, it is not easy to understand the historical context of his music.
There are few works by Berlioz where the French national element is stronger than in the Requiem. But this is not the delicate, impressionistic writing associated with later French music, nor is there, of course, any folkloristic couleur locale to be found. The Requiem (or, as Berlioz called it, the Grande Messe des Morts) comes from a whole line of solemn and grandiose choral works that marked great public occasions during the Revolutionary and early Napoleonic eras. Composers such as Francois-Joseph Gossec, Etienne-Nicolas Mehul, and Berlioz' teacher Jean-Francois Le Sueur all wrote such works; in fact, Le Sueur composed a Symphonic Ode (1801) for four separate orchestras placed in the four corners of the Invalides, the very corners in which Berlioz placed his four groups of brass instruments at the pre?miere of his Requiem thirty-six years later.
Among composers who influenced the young Berlioz, we shouldn't forget the Italian-born Luigi Cherubini, a dominant personality in French musical life for many decades, whose Requiem in c minor was j regarded as an outstanding masterpiece by'" everyone, including Beethoven and Brahms, and whose echoes are evident at several points of the Grande Messe des Morts.
From his predecessors, Berlioz had inherited what Berlioz scholar David Cairns calls "the belief in the essentially dramatic nature of religious music," and the "use of : contrast...to emphasize...the majesty of God and the littleness of humans."
If it is true that Berlioz is so heavily ?' indebted to his predecessors, what makes him a towering figure long after Gossec, Mehul, Le Sueur, and even Cherubini have become historical curiosities The answer may lie, in part, in the wider emotional range of Berlioz' music, in his innovative ideas in melody, harmony, and orchestra-;! tion, as well as a certain uncompromising,] way of writing in which there is nothing ? ? that does not contribute directly to dramatic expression. Throughout the Requiem, grandiose movements alternate with ones of great intimacy. Whenever Berlioz wanted to write dramatic music, as in the "Tuba mirum," even a hundred trombones would not have been too many for him. (His remark to that effect was quoted by Saint-Saens, who had known and admired him. Although Saint-Saens claimed that "Berlioz wrote badly," he also called the older com?poser "one of the commanding figures of musical art.") And whenever Berlioz wanted lyrical music, as in the next movement, "Quid sum miser," he wrote melodies of unequalled simplicity and beauty, where two notes for English horn can say as much as ..-the preceding pages of fanfares for "a hun? dred trombones" (in reality, "only" thirty-eight brass instruments of various kinds). All frills and mere ornaments were rejected;
Berlioz did not shy away from such ascetic effects as the combination of the flutes' high notes with the extreme depths of the trom?bones, as at the end of the "Hostias" (a pas?sage repeated in the "Agnus Dei"). For almost the entire Offertory, the chorus sings a single motif consisting of only two notes, surrounded with an elaborate contrapuntal web by the orchestra; this combination of economy and complexity is certainly one of the features that make this music unique.
In his celebrated Memoirs, Berlioz gave a vivid account of the Requiem's commis?sion and first performance. It is hard to resist the temptation of copying out the entire chapter containing this extraordinary story. No second-hand retelling can possibly match the flavor and the fervor of the origi?nal. The basic facts are as follows: Minister of the Interior Gasparin decided to commis?sion a requiem from the controversial young composer, shortly before his term was to expire. His subordinates, who were hostile to Berlioz, tried to sabotage the commission by a deliberate delay in carrying out the orders. Berlioz, tipped off by some rumors he had heard, went to see the Minister in person, received the official commission soon afterwards, wrote the Requiem in great haste, hired the musicians and had just begun rehearsals when the new Minister inexplicably cancelled the performance. The composer's dismay was compounded by the fact that he had already incurred consider?able expenses for which he was very slow in getting reimbursed. Then, just as suddenly, politics came to Berlioz' rescue. The French Army had captured the city of Constantine in Algeria, and its leader, General Damremont, had been killed in action. The Government ordered a memorial service for him, and, to get the constantly protesting Berlioz off their backs, they decided to have the Requiem performed at the ceremony.
The day of the premiere came. Berlioz was not allowed to conduct his own work;
the high prestige of the occasion demanded that the performance be led by Habeneck, the chief conductor at the Opera and a lead?ing figure in French musical life. Habeneck, who had introduced many of Beethoven's symphonies to France, was an old-fashioned musician who conducted from a first violin part with some cues written in. His relations with Berlioz had been strained for some " years; he was obviously apprehensive of his '' dangerous young rival. It is hard to know how much of Habeneck's behavior during the premiere was attributable to old-fash-ionedness and how much to outright mal?ice. What happened, according to Berlioz's account, is that Habeneck very nearly ruined the performance by ceasing to con?duct at one of the most crucial moments of the score, the beginning of the "Tuba mirum," to take a pinch of snuff from his snuff-box. Berlioz, standing right behind the conductor, sprang forward in a flash and gave the musicians the vital cue to prevent total disaster. After the performance, j Habeneck said to Berlioz: "God! I was in a cold sweat. Without you we would have been lost." According to his memoirs, Berlioz only replied, "I know," and looked '" the older man straight in the eye. Despite these vicissitudes, Berlioz could report that the "success of the Requiem was complete." It was one of the few works of his that found wide acceptance and popu?larity from the start.
Berlioz divided the liturgical text of the Latin Mass for the Dead into ten move?ments, sometimes taking considerable liber?ties with the words.
The first movement departs from tradi?tion right away by combining two distinct portions of the Mass, the Introit "Requiem aeternam" and the Kyrie into a single musi?cal utterance. Of the two, "Requiem aeter?nam" was much more important to Berlioz: than the Kyrie; its lugubrious melody is developed contrapuntally and embellished Ifl
by an ornamental counter-melody sung by the sopranos. The verse of the Introit, "Te decet hymnus," contains a striking new idea, after which the "Requiem" returns, and, at the words "et luxperpetua luceat eis" a stun?ning modulation brings a sudden flash of light somewhat similar to the passage "Let there be light" in Haydn's Creation. In con?trast, the Kyrie is barely whispered by the chorus; even with the chromatic melody of "Christe" and a brief fortissimo on the word "eleison" this passage is little more than an expressive coda to the Introit.
Berlioz'"Dies irae" (No. 2) differs from its two most famous counterparts in the requiems of Mozart and Verdi. Both of those composers (one writing forty-six years before Berlioz, the other thirty-six years after him) set these words to highly dramat?ic music that, in Verdi's case, functions as a motto for the entire work. Berlioz set these words to an austere melody that first appears in the unaccompanied cellos and basses. Its monophonic quality reminds us of plainchant, although the Gregorian melody of "Dies irae," which Berlioz had used in the last movement of his Symphonie fantastique, is not evoked here. Only gradu?ally does the music become more dramatic as the counter-voices become more and more agitated. The great moment comes at the beginning of "Tuba mirum" (the very place where Habeneck took out his snuff?box), in which the four groups of brass instruments, placed in the four corners of the hall, make their first entrance. The trumpets of the Last Judgement, and "Death and Nature stunned," are portrayed here with an immediacy that almost hurts.
No. 3 ("Quid sum miser") is brief and subdued. Only the tenor section of the cho?rus sings, with the basses adding the last few words in an undertone. The texture, mostly monophonic and never involving more & parts than two, expresses the anguish of the? soul before the great judgment. M
In No. 4 ("Rex tremendae") Berlioz inserted two lines ("de profundo lacu-Libera me de ore leonis") from a subsequent movement, the Offertory. He also changed the words "libera eas" (free them) to "libera me" (free me). The inserted lines create additional tension in a movement that is already full of dramatic excitement. Only at the end does the tension subside, and the words "salva me, fons pietatis" (save me, Source of mercy) are repeated in a tone sud?denly becoming intimate and imploring. M
No. 5 ("Quaerens me") is for the unac; companied chorus, which sings a simple melody in strict imitative counterpoint. The entire passage is then repeated, but the sec-ond time it is enriched by new voices recit?: ing the words of the supplication in a hushed monotone. [
No. 6 ("Lacrymosa") is one of the longest of the Requiem's movements. Again in contrast to Mozart and Verdi, who gave these words a mournful, melancholy charac?ter, Berlioz invested them with great passion and dramatic intensity. The melody is no less engaging than the corresponding ones in the other two works, but its phrases are of irregular length; as a result, the movement does not feel like a closed aria form, but rather like an open, constantly evolving dra-matic one, which takes an unusually long time to reach its tonal goal. Berlioz fash?ioned the words "Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem" (Gentle Lord Jesus, grant them eternal rest) into a middle section, after which the "Lacrymosa" returns, even more tempestuous than before.
No. 7 (Offertory "Domine Jesu s
Christe"), like the "Dies irae" (No. 2) and the "Quaerens me" (No. 5), begins with ana unaccompanied melody, this time played by , the violins. A fugue for strings ensues, into which the chorus interjects, as already noted, a simple two-note motif carrying the entire text of the Offertory. As in "Rex ]
tremendae" (No. 4), the pattern is broken
only at the end: this time, the chorus is allowed a little imitative development of its own as the tonality suddenly changes from minor to major. The chorus finally returns to the initial motif for the word "Amen." Note, however, that the original motif (A-B-flat--A) is changed to A--B-natural--A for the "Amen," consistent with the major tonality.
No. 8 ("Hostias") is another one of the Requiem's extremely brief movements, scored for men's voices, flutes, trombones, and strings only. The text is sung in a simple homophonic (chordal) fashion, although the choice of the chords and the modula?tions are far from simple. (The special effect of the flute-trombone combination has already been commented upon.)
No. 9 ("Sanctus") is the only movement featuring a soloist. The tenor sings a melody accompanied by what Berlioz specified as a "very intense tremolo" in the strings. The
"Sanctus" is followed by the "Hosanna," treated, in accordance with tradition, as a fugue. Both the "Sanctus" and the "Hosanna" are then repeated, but surpris?ingly, Berlioz omitted the "Benedictus qui venit" altogether.
The beginning of No. 10 ("Agnus Dei") is remarkable both for its bold harmonic progressions and its orchestration: a full woodwind complement alternates with a string section represented only by violas, divided into four parts. After the supplica?tion "Agnus Dei" has been repeated three times as dictated by the liturgy, Berlioz unexpectedly returns to the first movement, quoting the sections "Te decet hymnus" and "Requiem aeternam" in their entirety. The movement--and the whole work--ends with an otherworldly coda on the word "Amen."
Program note by Peter Laki.
I. Requiem et Kyrie
{Chorus, woodwinds, horns, and strings)
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis! ]
Te decet hymnus Deus in Sion, et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem. Exaudi orationem meam, ad te omni caro veniet. Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison.
II. Dies irae
{Chorus, woodwinds, and strings)
Dies irae, dies ilia, solvent saeculum in favilla, teste David cum Sibylla. Quantus tremor est futurus quando Judex est venturus, cuncta stride discussurus1
Grant them eternal rest, Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them! You are praised, God, in Zion, and to you a promise will be kept in Jerusalem. Hear my prayer, to you all flesh will come. Lord, have mercy upon us, j
Christ, have mercy upon us. ,3
Day of wrath, that day of anger will dissolve the world in ashes, as prophesied by David and the Sibyl. Great trembling there will be when the judge will appear to strictly examine all things.
Tuba mirum
(Chorus and orchestra, with percussion and four additional brass orchestras)
Tuba mirum spargens sonum, per sepulchra regionem, tuba coget omnes ante thronum. Mors stupebit et natura, cum resurget creatura, judicanti responsura.
Liber scriptus proferetur, in quo totum continetur, unde mundus judicetur. ,j ' Judex ergo cum sedebit, &' quidquid latet, apparebit, fj nil inultum remanebit.
The trumpet will send its wondrous sound throughout the tombs of every land, the trumpet will gather all before the throne. Death will be astounded, and nature also, when all creation rises again to answer the judgement.
A book will be brought forth in which everything will be written, by which the world will be judged. When the Judge takes His place, whatever is hidden will be revealed, nothing will remain unavenged.
III. Quid sum miser
(Chorus tenors and basses, with English horns, bassoons, cellos, and string basses)
Quid sum miser tune dicturus, quem patronum rogaturus, cum vix Justus sit securus ...
Recordare, Jesu pie, j___
Quod sum causa tuae viae," ne me perdas ilia die. f
Oro supplex et acclinis, cor contritum quasi cinis, ! gere curam mei finis.
What shall a wretch like me say
Of what patron shall I ask for help
when the good and just are barely protected
Remember, merciful Jesus,
that I am the cause of your suffering,
do not destroy me on that day.
I pray, suppliant and kneeling,
my heart contrite as ashes,
take me into your care at the last.
IV. Rex tremendae
(Chorus and all orchestral forces);
Rex tremendae majestatis, : qui salvandos salvas gratis,; salva me, fons pietatis. Recordare, Jesu pie, quod sum causa tuae viae, ne me perdas ilia die.
,.-,
Confutatis maledictis, Jesu, flammis acribus addictis, voca me et de profundo lacu! Libera me de ora leonis ne cadam in obscurum, ne absorbeat me tartarus.
Monarch of terrible majesty, '
who freely saves those worthy of redemption,
save me, source of mercy.
Remember, sweet Jesus,
that I am the cause of your suffering,;
do not forsake me on that day.
When the accursed are confounded, Jesus
and assigned to the burning flames,
call me from the bottomless pit!
Free me from the lion's mouth
so that I will not fall into darkness,
so that hell will not engulf me. ," ' ' ''
V. Quaerens me
(Chorus a cappella)
Quaerens me sedisti lassus, redemisti crucem passus; tantus labor non sit cassus. Juste judex ultionis, donum fac remissionis, ante diem rationis.
Ingemisco tanquam reus, culpa rubet vultus meus, supplicanti parce, Deus. Preces meae non sunt dignae: sed tu, bonus, fac benigne, ne perenni cremer igne.
Qui Mariam absolvisti, et latronem exaudisti, mihi quoque spem dedisti. Inter oves locum praesta et ab haedis me sequestra, statuens in parte dextra.
Seeking me, you have descended wearily,
You redeemed me by suffering on the cross;
may such great effort be not in vain.
Just judge of vengeance,
give me the gift of redemption
before the day of reckoning.
I moan as one accused, guilt reddens my face, suppliant before you, Lord. My prayers are unworthy, but, good one, have mercy, lest I burn in everlasting fire.
You who absolved Mary
and inclined your ear to the thief,
help me also.
Grant me a place among the sheep,
and separate me from the goats,
keeping me at your right hand.
VI. Lacrymosa
(Chorus and all orchestral forces)
Lacrymosa dies ilia, qua resurget ex favilla judicandus homo reus. Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem.
That day full of tears,
on which the guilty shall rise from the ashes
to be judged.
Gentle Lord Jesus,
grant them eternal rest.
VII. Offertorium
(Chorus and principal orchestra) ".i
Domine Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae, -
Libera animas omnium fidelium ?-. : . defunctorum de poenis. " . .,

--------' homas Sheets is an accomplished
conductor whose work with community choruses, academic institutions and opera companies has received widespread acclaim. Mr. Sheets is Music Director of the 150-voice Choral Union, based in Ann Arbor under the aegis of the University Musical Society (UMS). Following his appointment to that position in 1993, the Choral Union began performing on a regular basis with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. In the past seven seasons, he has prepared the Choral Union for several notable performances given by the DSO under the direction of Neeme Jarvi, Jerzy Semkow, Gennady Rozhdestvensky and John Adams. He also prepared the chorus for its first major recording, Tchaikovsky's The Snow Maiden, conducted by Maestro Jarvi with the DSO and released internationally by Chandos, Ltd.
Before moving to Ann Arbor, Mr. Sheets was Associate Conductor of two prominent Southern California choruses, the William Hall Chorale and the Master Chorale of Orange County, both conducted . by his mentor, the distinguished choral con?ductor William Hall. During that time, hv ' assisted in preparing all the major ,;;
choralorchestral works in the current inter?national repertoire, in some instances for ?[ performances led by Robert Shaw, Jorge Mester, Joann Faletta and Michael Tilson-Thomas. As chorusmaster in 1988 for Long Beach Opera's highly-acclaimed American premiere of Szymanowski's King Roger, his efforts on behalf of the chorus received accolades from critics on four continents. He was engaged in the same role in 1992 for that company's avant-garde staging of Simon Boccanegra, where the chorus again received singular plaudits.
In the 1996-97 season, Mr. Sheets col?laborated with the University of Michigan's , Dance Company, conducting four perfor-
mances of Orff's Carmina Burana in which dancers joined the established musical forces. During that season he made his debut with the Toledo Symphony in two performances of Bach's Mass in b minor, and also conducted performances of Handel's Messiah with the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra and the Perrysburg (OH) Symphony. During the 1997-98 season, Mr. Sheets conducted the Choral Union and the
Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra in perfor?mances of Messiah and Mendelssohn's Elijah in Ann Arbor's Hill Auditorium. In the 1998-99 season, he conducted an acclaimed performance of Bach's monumental St. Matthew Passion at the
historic Fort Street Presbyterian Church of Detroit. During the past season, he conduct?ed Haydn's The Creation with the Jackson Chorale and Orchestra, and led another per?formance of Bach's St. Matthew Passion with the UMS Choral Union and the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra.
In the current season, Mr. Sheets con?ducted the Kodaly Missa brevis and Brahms's Liebeslieder Walzer with the Jackson Chorale, and two performances of Handel's Messiah with the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra. Later in the year, he led the Jackson Chorale and Orchestra in the Mozart Requiem and the Beethoven Fantasy for Piano, Chorus and Orchestra.
Thomas Sheets is a graduate of Chapman University and CSU Fullerton, and received the degree Doctor of Musical Arts from the University of Southern California. He has held appointments as Director of Choral Activities at several col?leges and universities, serving now in that capacity at Oakland Community College in Farmington, Michigan; he also teaches grad-
uate choral music classes at Wayne State University. A church musician for thirty years, he is employed as Director of Music at First United Methodist Church in Ann Arbor. Dr. Sheets is a frequent conference leader and clinician; his editions of choral music are published by Augsburg-Fortress, and he is a regular contributor of articles on choral music performance.
This afternoon's performance marks Thomas Sheets' eighteenth appearance under UMS auspices.... ,
, tanford Olsen, who made his Metropolitan Opera debut on an hour's notice as Arturo in Puritani opposite the legendary w soprano Dame Joan Sutherland, has fulfilled his initial promise as one of the world's outstanding artists. :,
I The 20002001 season features several JS performances of Carmina Burana, first with Charles Dutoit and the Montreal Symphony
(repeated at Carnegie Hall), then with Donald Runnicles and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (to be recorded by Telarc). He also sings the Mozart Requiem with the Cincinnati Symphony, both of Bach's Christmas
Oratorios, and Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 with the New York Philharmonic, Britten's Serenade with the Milwaukee Symphony, Rossini's Stabat Mater at Carnegie Hall, Mendelsohn's Lobgesang with the St. Louis Symphony, The Creation in Washington DC, St. Matthew Passion with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Fidelio (Jacquino) with the Dallas Symphony, and the Mozart Requiem with San Francisco Symphony.
Mr. Olsen's operatic experience is broad, and includes appearances as Nemorino in L'Elisir d'Amore, the title role of Le Comte Ory, Tonio in La Fille du Regiment, Don Ottavio in Don Giovanni., Ferrando in Cost fan tutte, Belmonte in Die Entfiihrung aits dem Serail, Count Almaviva in Barbiere di Siviglia, Idreno in Semiramide (which, with James Conlon and the Metropolitan Opera, was taped for tele?vision and subsequently released on LaserDisc), Fenton in Falstaff, Alfred in Die Fledermaus, Lindoro in L'ltaliana in Algeri and the Italian Singer in Der Rosenkavalier.
In addition to regular performances with the Metropolitan Opera, Mr. Olsen has performed with La Scala, Landestheater Stuttgart, Netherlands Opera, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Theatre du Chatelet, Hamburger Staatsoper, Australian Opera, Brussels' La Monnaie, Madrid's Teatro la Zarzuela, San Francisco Opera, Houston . _. Grand Opera, Santa Fe Opera, Opera Company of Philadelphia, Ravinia Festival, Teatro Massimo Bellini di Catania, and Opera Theatre of Saint Louis.
Stanford Olsen's orchestral career is similarly impressive. His European concert debut took place in 1989, when he appeared with the Berlin Philharmonic in the Berlioz Requiem, conducted by James Levine. He has appeared with the New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, Chicago Symphony, St. Louis Symphony, and San Francisco Symphony, among others.
Mr. Olsen has been featured in Handel's Messiah throughout North America and Europe.

Mr.,
Olsen's winning of the 1989 Walter W. . ,.., Naumburg Award led to his New York recital debut at Alice Tully Hall in 1990, for which he sang Schubert's Die schone Miillerin. In the final year of the Schubertiade at the 92nd Street Y in New York, he again sang Schubert's great song cycle, accompanied by James Levine.
In addition to the Naumburg award, Stanford Olsen was the winner of the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions in 1986, and has received awards from the Richard Tucker Foundation and the Eleanor Steber Foundation.
This afternoon's performance marks Stanford Olsen's third appearance under UMS aus?pices. Mr. Olsen made his UMS debut on December 2, 2000 as tenor soloist in UMS' annual production of Handel's Messiah.

Synopsis
seeress tells of the beginning of the
i world. She describes the ordering of the cosmos, the creation of the earth '. and sea, of time, tools, men and women 1 and fate. This begins the history of J gods and men.
One day, three gods kill an otter they find by a waterfall. They show the otter's skin to King Hrei3mar, their host for the night, only to discover that the otter was the king's son, transformed to catch fish. '
Hreidmar vows to kill the gods unless they ] cover the otter's skin, inside and out, with gold. The god Loki goes back to the water' fall and catches the enchanted pike that lives-there, guarding a hoard of gold. The pike, a transformed dwarf, gives Loki all of his gold, except for one dazzling ring. When , Loki takes the ring, the pike warns him that; it is cursed and will bring misery to whoever holds it. Loki covers the otter skin with the gold, inside and out. A single whisker pokes 1 out, and Hrei3mar demands that Loki coved it with the dazzling ring. Loki tells the king j of the curse, but Hrei3mar claims all the " gold and drives the gods away.
King Hrei3mar refuses to share the gold with his two remaining sons, Fafhir and Regin. Fafnir kills his father but refuses to share the gold with Regin. Fafnir transforms into a dragon, nesting on his brood of gold. Regin bides his time while he grooms the young 4 warrior SigurcJ to win back the gold for him.
Regin makes Sigurd a sword called Gram, sharp enough to slice the anvil that forged it. At Regin's urging, Sigur3 slays Fafnir and roasts the dragon's heart. When i drop of the dragon's blood touches SigurcFs tongue, he suddenly understands the lan?guage of birds. The birds tell him to kill;! Regin before Regin kills him, and take the "; gold for his own. So SigurcJ hacks off Regin's" head while he sleeps. Following the bird's advice, Sigur3 takes the gold and goes to
seek a wife. "iff"1 Sigurd rides his horse, Grani to the mountain where a valkyrie sleeps and through an enchanted ring of fire that sur-'' rounds her. He finds Brynhild, a supernat?ural warrior woman who is fated to marry whomever can ride through the ring of fire the god Odin has placed around her. Sigurd and Brynhild fall in love, but before they can marry, Sigurd must follow his fate to the court of King Gjuki and Queen Grimhild.
Grimhild decides to win the hero and his gold for her daughter, Gudriin. She gives Sigurd a potion of forgetfulness. He forgets his vows to Brynhild. He marries Gudrun and swears an oath of brotherhood with her brothers, Gunnar and Hogni. Then Grimhild decides that Gunnar should marry Brynhild. Sigur3 rides with Gunnar to the valkyrie's mountain, but Gunnar cannot pass through the ring of fire. So Sigurd shape-shifts with Gunnar and rides through the fire to Brynhild in Gunnar's form. Brynhild must' ?; marry the warrior who rides through the fire, . and so she marries Gunnar, though she still loves Sigur3. When Brynhild realizes that she was tricked into marrying Gunnar, her sor?row turns to rage. She presses Gunnar to kill Sigurd and he sorrowfully agrees. He and Hogni have sworn brotherhood with Sigur3, so they convince their brother Guthorm to do the deed. Guthorm kills the hero, but as he dies, Sigurd slices Guthorm in half. The 1 cursed gold passes on to Gunnar and his kin.
Her revenge accomplished, Brynhild plunges a knife into her own breast, and fl?E asks to be burned on a funeral pyre with her beloved Sigurd. Gudrun is devastated by her loss of her love. She wanders the wilderness like a mad woman. Her mother presses her to marry King Atli, Brynhild's wealthy and powerful brother. Gudrun protests, but to a no avail. And as she predicts, Atli soon plots to acquire the gold Sigurd left when he died.
Atli invites Gunnar and Hogni to visit, but when they arrive, they are captured. Atli offers to trade their lives for Sigurd's gold. ? j.
Gunnar demands his brother's heart instead, and Hogni laughs as his heart is cut out. Gunnar too chooses to die rather than tell Atli where the gold is hidden. The secret of the gold dies with him in a pit of vipers.
GucJnin gives Atli food and drink, which turn out to be the flesh and blood of their two young sons. Mourning fills the hall, but Atli has drunk himself to sleep, ggs
v
Gudrun stabs her husband and then tosses '' flames across the doors, barring exit. Fire consumes all within. "JPSiitl
The seeress returns. She recalls the first war in the world, the first oath to be broken, misery, death and destruction for gods and men. Then she sees life return and all is well. But a dark dragon too has returned. And over the land it casts a dark shadow.
Introduction to the "Project Edda"
by Benjamin Bagby
t a time when the Romans were loosing their grip on a vast colo;? nial empire, a wandering tribe of warlike Germanic people from th Baltic coast came to central . j Europe, finally settling on the'' . Rhine River in 413 and agreeing to 2? an alliance with the Empire. But these ambi-3i tious folk, who were called Burgundians, yi: expanded a little too fast and too far, and jg PH were eventually wiped out in 436 by another ssf tribal alliance of fighters called Huns. The Burgundian survivors followed a long, ?jjg?' ?j Roman-dictated "trail of tears" and after . pj? many years ended up in the region we still '? l call Burgundy today. One of their kings was m called Gundaharius: he is the man named pS Gunnar in our story.
j?Most of early Germanic history is a col-Tlection of fragments, hearsay, reports from i P' homesick Romans and the randomly scat-:l pg tered contents of burial mounds. The legend p of the cursed Rhinegold, of the boy-hero &t-Sigurd, of King Gunnar and his beautiful ? p sister Gu3run, of Attila the Hun and his . ?Valkyrie-sister Brynhild, are contradictory,:
scape which easily includes both Mirkwood forest, the Rhine River and the glaciers of Iceland. It is a legend based on names of places and people (some of whom existed), freely mixed with the old Germanic gods, cunning dwarves, dragons, shape-changers,
magical swords and horses, supernatural ?,? beings and talking birds; an archaic story: which enthralled many generations of Europeans as they listened to the bards and minstrels who formed the fabric of their ,_, tribal memories. As centuries passed, the.;1
Romans went home, Christianity wasJiSL__-
imposed, new stories were heard, and many old orally-transmitted tales lost their imme?diacy or were transformed into mere adven?tures until they were utterly unrecognizable or lost. But in a far corner of Europe, in Iceland, dozens of these stories lived on in the language of the Vikings and--luckily for us--were copied in the thirteenth century into a small parchment book: a humble, , untitled manuscript which is now the great?est single cultural treasure of the Icelanders and is called the "Edda." The poems found there, which serve as the basis for our recon?structions, represent the highest art of bardic story-tellers and singers, whose tradi?tion stretches into the people's remote pagan past. Their masterful style makes use of ingenious meters, a telegraphic, pithy dic?tion perfect for vocalization, employing gnomic devices and poetic circumlocutions intended more to arouse associative imaging than to deliver information. Despite a marked tendency towards unsentimentality, pragmatism, even grisly humor, these Old Norse stories are full of the uncanny, the ,-dreamlike: the reconstructions we present;
here bear witness to this. The Edda manu?script includes these tales of envy, gold-lust, revenge and the horrible power they have over that most sacred and holy human insti-; tution: the family. These are the archaic sto-' ries which we have liberated from the writ?ten page, where they were never really at home, and put back into the mouths of 1 bards and the hands of minstrels. 1
We do not limit ourselves to this one dreadful family epic, but frame it with a prophecy taken from the same manuscript. The northern peoples' uncommon respect for worlds beyond their own was manifested in a willingness to heed what was spoken in prophetic and poetic modes. Voluspd is the name of one of the central poems of Old Icelandic tradition and can be translated as ' "the prophecy or vision (spa) of the seeress (vdva)." These are the words of an immortal female being who speaks in the enigmatic expressions of oracle to a questioning but silent god Odinn; she speaks of time's flux, of the urges for growth and order, and the unconquerable forces of chaos. She tells how the world came about, and she also tells how it will end, stopping to ask her ques?tioner: "Do you really want to know more"
If this story is at all familiar to us today, it is probably thanks to the nineteenth-cen?tury German Romantics' fascination with all medieval stories and legends. We find these Eddie poems translated into German and published (by the Brothers Grimm!) already in 1815, and it is this edition, among other sources, which an industrious young com-.= ' poser named Richard Wagner consulted ' " when working on the libretto for his Ring of the Nibelung music drama cycle, re-working and re-weaving a conflation of medieval sources and his own fertile imagination, in which Brynhild becomes Briinnhilde, Sigur9 becomes Siegfried, and the terrifying apoca?lyptic battle between giants and gods becomes Gotterdammerung. But Wagner did not "rediscover" these stories any more than we did: 800 years ago an anonymous south?ern German court poet produced a hugely
successful and extravagant verse retelling of the story, the Nibelwtgenlied; and not long thereafter the famously literary Icelanders fj themselves were re-acquainted with the whole deadly family affair through the prose Volsunga Saga. Indeed, we are using material from this saga to fill in the gaps in the story where the Edda is silent. Sequentia and Ping . Chong are in good company. ;
The Reconstruction of Eddie Performance
-lthough we know that mediev
epic poetry was the domain of : , bards and singers, no written musical sources of the Eddie i i poems dating from the Middle " ? Ages are known to exist; indeed, we would have no reason to expect such sources to have been written at all. The milieu in which these poems were originally transmitted, P sung, and acted out was that of a uniquely-oral culture, and professional minstrels '.? passed on repertoires and techniques from, generation to generation without the hin-drance and expense of writing. As is almost always the case with medieval song, the use of musical notation is linked to the world of the monkish scriptorium and the noble or ecclesiastical collector, not to the world of ??? the practicing musician. We can assume that the performing traditions of the Edda were , probably already in decline by the time th main text manuscript, Codex Regius, was copied in the thirteenth century. Given this(
sung performances of Eddie poems as th would have been known in pre-Christian. Iceland
The earliest witness which we possess to musical settings from the Edda is an account found in Benjamin de la Borde's Essai sur la musique ancienne et moderne, published in 1780. Among other examples (collected by a musician at the Danish Royal Court, Johann
Ernst Hartmann), we find a strophe from the Voluspd set to a simple melody. Unfortunately, we will never know if this melody represents part of an unrelated Icelandic folk tradition of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, or if it indeed survived in this form from its origins as an oral formula for the vocaliza, tion of Eddie poetry. ;i
Wi In searching for paths to the vocaliza, tion of these texts, it was obvious to me that more musical information would be needed than this scrap of melodic material from the late eighteenth century, and I decided to make use of the techniques of "modal lan?guage" which Sequentia has developed over l the years in work with medieval song. Briefly, we identify a mode not as a musical scale, but rather as a collection of gestures and signs which can be "interiorized," var_ ied, combined and used as a font to create musical "texts" which can be completely new while possessing the authentic integrity, of the original material. But like the power?ful magic mead that gives the god Odin the gift of poetry, this "modal mead" is a con.-.] coction that is both inspiring and danger. ous. We need a strong knowledge of the ?; practice of singing epic poetry as it still j exists in various world cultures to show us "j how such performances must be given a j form and a soul, to temper the limitless , freedom of modal intoxication. ._._.r. Having temporarily put aside Monsieur de la Borde, where did I turn first for the basic ingredients of this modal brew Iceland, of course. To give one example: in F .r,a:: the sung oral poetry known as rimur-j 1&j which in itself is a tradition dating from the fifteenth century, but whose roots may touch 'V$ much earlier skaldic poetry--I found a vast & repertoire of modal material, which clearly i could be grouped into several types. During E research residencies in Reykjavik in 1995 and Wagain in 2001,1 was graciously permitted to & work in the tape archives of the Stofnun I
B X .. _ l r.......... _1 __ t 1 _____ J ._ 1_____ 1
fdreds of recorded performances of rimur and related song-types, making notes and
analyses of the types and uses of modal materials. The result of this process of diges?tion (which included a weeding-out of obvi?ously later melodic types) was a series of modal vocabularies grouped by structural "signals," which could then be taught to the other singers and applied to the metrics of vr the Eddie texts as taught to us by the Icelandic philologist Heimir Palsson. ] Everything was learned in a process very ?"; much resembling oral tradition: we have only worked with our Edda texts and our ? memories; there were rarely any written ' musical documents. And in light of this '--, knowledge, the melody found in de la Borde began to make sense. However one chooses to see its transmission, the fact is that this melody demonstrates characteristics that point to the use of a specific modal vocabu?lary consisting of a few limited elements that are repeated and varied. And so, the attentive listener might hear its "genetic code" echoed in our reconstructions, just as an experi?enced Icelandic n'mwr-singer hearing us sing these poems might find at times that some indefinable element makes him feel he actu?ally knows the unknown piece being sung.
In cases where two singers declaim the same text, different versions of the modal gestures may sometimes be heard simulta?neously, resulting in a kind of heterophonic texture (verging on improvised polyphony) typical of traditional musical cultures. The sound of parallel-fifths, still sung in Iceland today in the two-voiced tvisongur, is also heard. "21; Other aspects of the reconstructive work include a study of Icelandic sources besides rimur, as well as a study of the ancient dance-song melodies of. the Faroe Islands and certain Baltic traditional song forms.
Equally important in these musical reconstructions are the instruments that play independent pieces and also accompany the vocalists. In the twelfth century, the two most important European instruments for courtly entertainment were certainly the fid?dle and the harp, although other types of instruments (for instance, wind and percus-
sion) were certainly known in popular cul?ture. The harp that is used in this perfor?mance is copied from remains of instru?ments found in seventh-century Germanic burial sites. This type of "lyre" would have been known throughout northern Europe, together with the related triangular cithara that we recognize as the most common harp form. These instruments have very few strings (the lyre, for instance, has six gut strings), and the tuning systems, based on medieval theories of consonance, yield a series of basic intervals that, in turn, can inform the text being accompanied. The tuning system of the instrument is closely related to the mode that the singer has cho?sen, so that the instrument must be re-tuned to accompany in a new mode. Regarding playing technique, it hardly needs stating that an instrument of six strings is not suited to playing chords and elaborate melodies. Instead, we have here a harp type (such as is still known in several non-European musical cultures) that has as its means of expression the use of pattern and variation, and on the playing of modal vocabularies. Just as the singers rely on a small repertoire of potent modal gestures for the vocalization of their texts, the harp makes a virtue of its seeming limitations and, like an interlaced Viking design, brings a richness of articulation to the expression of the mode. The fiddle used here is based on one of the earliest depic?tions of a fiddle in Europe, dating from the eleventh century, and was created especially for this production. Techniques of early northern fiddle playing can still be found today hidden within the thriving hardingfele tradition of Norway, and Elizabeth Gaver's own in-depth researches into the possible medieval antecedents to this tradition have yielded a convincing style of stringing, tun?ing and articulation which harmonizes easily with general medieval ideas about the use of bowed instruments in courtly music. Likewise, the use of flute in this production is based on concepts of tuning and conso?nance from the early Middle Ages, and one
instrument in particular has an almost shamanistic aura, making it ideal for the announcement of the oracular volva: a tiny flute made from a swan's bone. Fragments of such bone flutes have been found in early ; Germanic burial sites. In developing the 1 instrumental pieces and accompaniments fori' this production, the players have made use ; of the same modal vocabularies and Ianwjit guage as the vocalists (we share a common'1'. prima materia) but then they have factored 1 in the particular playing and tuning charac?teristics of their own instruments, so that in ; the end each piece is unique and can only be ? played by the musician and instrument which shaped it. There is no "improvisation" as such, but then there are also no written scores aside from a few sketches, and we pre?fer to think of ourselves as working within a rather strict oral tradition.
.--Benjamin Bagby ,.;
ing Chong (Director) is a theatre director, playwright, choreograph-er and video and installation artist. He was born in Toronto, Canada, and raised in New York City's Chinatown. He is recognized as a leading : contemporary theatre artist and a seminal figure in the Asian American Arts Movement. In May 2000, Mr. Chong was awarded an "Obie," his second, for Sustained Achievement. He is also the recipient of six NEA fellowships, a Playwrights USA award, a Guggenheim fellowship, a TCGPew Charitable Trust National Theatre ----
Fellowship, a National Institute for Music Theatre award and two "Bessie" awards, one in 1992 for Sustained Achievement and one in 1999 for his collaborations with choreog?rapher Muna Tseng. A former Bellagio fel?low, Ping Chong held the Wynton Chair at the University of Minnesota in 1994 and. ii received an honorary doctorate in Fine Arts from Cornish College in 1999. He was also Artist-in-Residence at NYU's AsianPacific
American Studies Programs 1999-2000 and at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Art Institute January-March 2001.
Since 1972, Ping Chong has created over thirty-five works for the stage including Nosferatu, Angels of Swedenborg, KIND NESS, Undesirable Elements, and the acclaimed East-West quartet, Deshima, Chinoiserie, After Sorrow and Pojagi. These and other works have been performed at major muse?ums, festivals and theatres throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. His puppet w theatre work, Kwaidan, premiered at the -Atlanta Center for Puppetry Arts, was pre?sented at La MaMa ETC as part of the 1998 . Henson International Festival of Puppet Theater and has toured extensively in the US, Great Britain, and Japan. He is currently working on his second puppet theatre work,, Obon: Tales of Rain and Moonlight, which is ' scheduled to premiere in Spring 2002. -,i
i ocalist, harpist and scholar Benjamin R. Bagby has been an . important figure in the field of T medieval musical performance for over twenty years. He was the first graduate to earn a voice degree specializing in early music at the Oberlin Conservatory s. (Ohio) and he also received a degree in 3 German Literature from Oberlin College (1974). During his student years, he worked, professionally in New York City, performing in North America and Europe as a member, of the New York Pro Musica. Following graduation from Oberlin, he was awarded a Thomas J. Watson Foundation Fellowship, specifically intended to finance a Wanderjahr for the study of medieval song. Subsequently he received an advanced degree (Diplom fiir Musik des Mittelalters) from the Schola Cantorum (Basel, Switzerland) in 1977, .. where he and Barbara Thornton first ? formed Sequentia. Following Barbara Thornton's death in 1998, Benjamin Bagby is now the sole director of Sequentia. ;
The years 1977-2001 have been almost. uniquely devoted to the work of Sequentia. Mr. Bagby, often in collaboration with Barbara Thornton, created over sixty innovative concert programs that encompass the entire spectrum of medieval music, giving perfor?mances all over the world. They also pro?duced music-theater projects like Hildegard von Bingen's Ordo Virtutum, the Cividale Planctus Marie, the Bordesholmer Marienklage and Heinrich von Meissen's Frauenleich.
Apart from the small ensemble work of Sequentia, Mr. Bagby devotes his time to the solo performance of Anglo-Saxon oral poet?ry (an acclaimed bardic performance of Beowulf receives at least twenty perforjfe mances yearly worldwide), the medieval harp, and directing the Sequentia ensemble of men's voices, Sons of Thunder, a vocal igfc ensemble for the performance of medieval' liturgical polyphony and chant. S..
In addition to researching and writing program books for festivals, concert series and booklets, Mr. Bagby has written about performance practice. As a guest lecturer and professor, he has taught courses and workshops all over Europe and North America. In 2000 he was a Krieger Fellow f? at Case Western Reserve University JS
(Cleveland), and in 2001 he is a Patten . Lecturer at Indiana University.
These performances mark Benjamin Bagby's debut appearances under UMS auspices.

ounded in 1977, Sequentia has grown to become the international?ly acclaimed leader in its field--an ensemble that combines vocal and instrumental virtuosity with innov?ative research and programming to reconstruct the living musical traditions of medieval Europe. Under the direction of co-founder Benjamin Bagby, Sequentia celebrates its twenty-forth year as a multi-faceted ensemble whose size and composition vary with the demands of the repertoire being performed. Through international tours and more than twenty recordings with Deutsche Harmonia Mundi (available worldwide through BMG Classics) and major European radio networks, as well as films for television and independent film-makers, Sequentia brings to life long-forgotten repertoires from the tenth to fourteenth centuries. Sequentia performs extensively in Europe and North America, and since 1979 has undertaken numerous far-reaching tours under the auspices of the Goethe Institute, performing in South America, India and the Middle East, Japan, Korea, Australia, and North Africa. During the past several years, the ensemble has become active in the Eastern European countries as well.
Sequentia has received prizes for several recordings, including the International CD Prize Frankfurt, the Netherlands' Edison Prize (twice), the Innsbruck Radio Prize, a i Grammy nomination (US) and both the French Disque D'Or and Diapason D'Or. After receiving the 1993 Deutsche Schallplatten-.; preis for their three-CD series of medieval Spanish music, Sequentia entered into a long-term relationship with BMG ClassicsDeutsche Harmonia Mundi. This has resulted in a pro?ject to record the complete works of the German mystic and abbess, Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179); the third CD in this , series, Canticles of Ecstasy, has sold over 400,000 copies worldwide. Sequentia's most recent releases include recent additions to the Hildegard von Bingen complete works O Jerusalem (1997), the re-recording of Ordo
Virtutum (1998), and the double-CD contain?ing songs to St. Disibod, Saints (1998), as well as two CDs featuring Christmas music from twelfth-century Aquitanian cloisters, Shining Light (1996) and Aquitania (1997). For all of these recordings, the accompanying booklets are generally considered to be of a high i
scholarly quality, with great attention to detail, to the sources, and to the work of philologists who collaborated on the textual editions.
Sequentia's first Edda production (1995-1997, culminating in an award-win?ning CD which was recorded in Iceland in and released in 1999) was entitled Edda Eins and was staged by the German regisseur Franz-Josef Heumannskamper. It was per-r formed in Europe, North America and Africa, mostly under the sponsorship of the Goethe Institute. The focus of that produc?tion, and the CD, was on the songs dealing r with the Norse Gods (Odinn, torr, Loki, Freya, and Baldur) and their stories, battles with their enemies, the Giants, and the fate of gods at the end of the world. Three mem?bers of the original project are taking part in this new production. Sequentia is based in Cologne, Germany, and in Paris.
These performances mark Sequentia's third and fourth appearances under UMS auspices. The ensemble last appeared under UMS aus?pices in performance of Hildegard von Bingen's Ordo Virtutum on November 13, 1998 at St. Francis ofAssisi Catholic Church. Sequentia made their UMS debut on February 25, 1996. ':"
Norbert Rodenkirchen was born in Koln, where he studied flute at the Hochschule fur Musik with Hans Martin Muller and later J! Baroque flute with Giinther Holler. Since completing his studies, he has been in demand as a versatile performer and composer in the realms of new music, early music, theater and film-music.
