FROM THE UM PRESIDENT
The University of Michigan (UM) would like to join the University Musical Society (UMS) in welcoming you to the 2002 2003 season. Additionally, we would like to thank you for your support of the performing arts. We are proud of the wonderful partner?ship we have developed with UMS and of our
role as co-sponsor and co-presenter of several events on this season's calendar. These events reflect the artistic beauty and passion that are integral to the human experience. They are also wonderful opportunities
for University of Michigan students and fac?ulty to learn about the creative process and sources of inspiration that motivate artists and scholars.
The current season marks the second resi?dency by the Royal Shakespeare Company of Stratford, England, which performs three plays in March: The Merry Wives of Windsor, Coriolanus, and Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children. UM and UMS co-presentations are not limited to theater, but also include per?formances by the Vienna Philharmonic, the Bolshoi Ballet, and a special event entitled "Evening at the Apollo," in which the best performing groups from Detroit and Ann Arbor are given a chance to compete for a slot at Harlem's Apollo Theater Amateur Night, where Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Billie Holiday, and other legends of 20th-
century American music got their big breaks. As befits the educational missions of both the University and UMS, we should also recognize the co-sponsorship of educational program?ming involving, among others, the Abbey Theatre of Ireland, Grupo Corpo, Sekou Sundiata and creative co-sponsorship of presentations by the Hubbard Street Dance Company and the well-known female a cap-pella group Sweet Honey in the Rock.
Most significantly, I would like to thank the faculty and staff of UM and UMS for their hard work and dedication to making this partnership a success. UMS staff, in particular, work with the University's faculty and students to create learning opportunities for our campus, and in the case of the larger residencies, for the greater community.
The University of Michigan is pleased to support the University Musical Society during its 0203 season. We share the goal of making our co-presentations the type of academic and cultural events that benefit the broadest possible constituency.
Sincerely,
Mary Sue Coleman
President, University of Michigan
FROM THE UMS PRESIDENT
Thank you for joining us for this UMS performance. We appreciate your support of the performing arts and of UMS, and we hope we'll see you at more of our programs this season. Check the complete listing of UMS's 20022003 events beginning on page 29 and on our website at www.ums.org.
We welcome UM President Mary Sue Coleman to the southeast Michigan com?munity and to membership on the UMS Board of Directors. The university from which President Coleman came to Michigan
has a distinguished record in its support of creative artists. During the Millennium season alone, while Dr. Coleman was president, the University of Iowa's Hancher Auditorium premiered over 20 new works in music, dance, and theater, all of them commissioned by Hancher. This unprecedented level of support of creative artists by a university presenting organization captured the attention of the performing arts field worldwide and reinforced the idea that research in the performing arts is as important and as valid to a great university as is research in other fields. We thank Dr. Coleman and her predecessors Lee C. Bollinger and B. Joseph White for the extra?ordinary level of UM support for the second residency of the Royal Shakespeare Company March 1-16 and of eight other projects this season that offer special value to the University's mission of teaching, research, and service.
This season offers some special challenges for UMS with the closing of Hill Auditorium for restoration and renovation. With your understanding and support, we know we will
overcome these difficulties and have a success?ful season. As we await our reopening concert scheduled for January 2004, UMS is creating special opportunities for our patrons to see and hear world-renowned artists in outstand?ing venues in Detroit, Ypsilanti, and Ann Arbor. You won't want to miss the first southeast Michigan presentations of the Bolshoi Ballet November 20-24 or the February 27 return of the Vienna Philharmonic for the first time in the region since 1988. For many of our Detroit performances, UMS is offering transportation by luxury coach to our Ann Arbor patrons. And we urge you to bring the whole family to UMS's first event in Crisler Arena when the Boston Pops performs its Holiday Concert on December 8.
Yes, things will be different this season. The UMS staff is determined to do everything we can to make this season run as smoothly as possible for you and our other patrons. Please let us know if you have any questions or problems. Call our ticket office at 734.764.2538, now led by Ticket Services Manager Nicole Paoletti, successor to Michael Gowing, who retired August 30. You should also feel free to get in touch with me about anything related to UMS. If you don't see me in the lobby at our performances, you can send me an email message at kenfisch@umich.edu or call me at 734.647.1174.
Very best wishes,
Kenneth C. Fischer UMS President

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR
It is a pleasure to welcome you to this performance of the UMS 0203 season. With world-renowned performers, new community partnerships, and ever-expanding educational activities, our 124th season continues our commitment to artistic and educational excellence and our dedication to our audiences and extended com?munity. We are delighted that you are here to share in the excitement of the live performing arts.
As we enjoy this performance, we want to recognize and thank the many generous supporters who help make this extraordinary season possible. As you know, the price of your ticket does not cover our costs of presenting this performance. To bridge the gap, we must rely on the generosity of our many individual, corporate, govern?mental and foundation donors. In supporting UMS, they have pub?licly recognized the importance of the arts in our community and helped create new educational opportunities for students and adults of all ages and backgrounds.
So, as you read through the program book and take pleasure in this performance, please join me in thanking our many generous contributors. They are playing an important role in the artistic life of our community, and we are truly grateful for their support.
Sincerely,

UMS annals
UMS HISTORY
Through an uncompromising commitment to Presentation, Education, and the Creation of new work, the University Musical Society (UMS) serves Michigan audiences by bringing to our community an ongoing series of world-class artists, who represent the diverse spectrum of today's vig?orous and exciting live performing arts world. Over its 123 years, strong leadership 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 com?mitment to dynamic and creative visions of where the performing arts will take us in this 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 performing arts--internationally renowned recitalists and orchestras, dance and chamber ensembles, jazz and world music performers, and opera and theatre. Through educational endeavors, commissioning of new works, youth programs, artist residencies and other collaborative projects, UMS has maintained its reputation for quality, artistic distinction and innovation. UMS now hosts approximately 90 perform?ances and more than 150 educational events each season. UMS has flourished with the support of a generous community that this year gathers in 11 diverse venues in Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, and Detroit.
While proudly affiliated with the University of Michigan, housed on the Ann Arbor campus, and a regular collaborator with many University units, UMS is a separate not-for-profit organ?ization that supports itself from ticket sales, corporate and individual contributions, foundation and government grants, special project support from UM, and endowment income.
UMS CHORAL UNION
Throughout its 123-year history, the UMS Choral Union has performed with many of the world's distinguished orchestras and conductors.
Based in Ann Arbor under the aegis of the University Musical Society, the 150-voice Choral Union is known for its definitive per?formances of large-scale works for chorus and orchestra. Nine years ago, the Choral Union further enriched that tradition when it began appearing regularly with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO). Among other works, the chorus has joined the DSO in Orchestra Hall and at Meadowbrook for sub?scription performances of Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms, John Adams's Harmonium, Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, Orff's Carmina Burana, Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe and Brahms's Ein deutsches Requiem, and has recorded Tchaikovsky's The Snow Maiden with the orchestra for Chandos, Ltd.
In 1995, the Choral Union began accept?ing invitations to appear with other major regional orchestras, and soon added Britten's War Requiem, Elgar's The Dream ofGerontius, the Berlioz Requiem and other masterworks to its repertoire.
The Choral Union will open its upcom?ing season with performances of Mahler's Symphony No. 3 with the DSO, followed by a performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 with the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra. In December the chorus will present its 124th series of annual performances of Messiah, using the rarely-heard Mozart revision of Handel's great work. The Choral Union's sea?son will conclude in March with a pair of magnificent French choral works: Honegger's King David, accompanied by members of the Greater Lansing Symphony Orchestra, and Durufle's mystical Requiem, accompanied by organist Janice Beck.
The Choral Union's 0102 season includ?ed performances of Messiah, Ives's Symphony No. 4 with Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra and Brahms's Ein deutsches Requiem with Thomas Sheets conducting the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra, all in Hill Auditorium. To conclude its 123rd season, the Choral Union joined the DSO and Neeme Jarvi in three critically acclaimed performances of Beethoven's Missa Solemnis.
During the 20002001 season, the UMS Choral Union appeared in two series with the DSO. The season culminated in a perform?ance of Berlioz's Requiem with the Greater Lansing Symphony Orchestra, along with tenor Stanford Olsen and members of the UM School of Music Symphony Band in Hill Auditorium.
The Choral Union is a talent pool capa?ble of performing choral music of every genre. In addition to choral masterworks, the Choral Union has performed Gershwin's Porgy and Bess with the Birmingham-Bloomfield Symphony Orchestra, and other musical theatre favorites with Erich Kunzel and the DSO at Meadowbrook. The 72-voice Concert Choir drawn from the full chorus has performed Durufle's Requiem, the Langlais Messe Solennelle, and the Mozart Requiem. Recent programs by the Choral Union's 36-voice Chamber Chorale include "Creativity in Later Life," a program of late works by nine composers of all historical periods; a joint appearance with the Gabrieli Consort and Players; a performance of Bach's Magnificat, and a recent joint performance with the Tallis Scholars.
Participation in the Choral Union remains open to all by audition. Composed of singers from Michigan, Ohio and Canada, members of the Choral Union share one common passion--a love of the choral art.

VENUESBURTON MEMORIAL TOWER
With the 18-month closing of Hill Auditorium for renovations, the 0203 UMS season will include performances by the world's celebrated music, theater and dance artists in 11 venues in three cities: Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti and Detroit.
Ann Arbor Venues
Hill Auditorium
The 18-month, $38.6-million dollar reno?vation to Hill Auditorium began on May 13, 2002 under the direction of Albert Kahn Associates, Inc., and historic preservation architects Quinn EvansArchitects. Hill was first opened to Michigan audiences in 1913 and this current renovation project will update all of its infrastructure systems and restore much of the interior decor to its original splendor.
Exterior renovations will rebuild brick paving and stone retaining walls, restore the south entrance plaza, rework the west barrier-free ramp and loading dock, and improve the landscaping which surrounds the building.
Interior renovations will create additional restrooms, improve audience circulation by providing elevators, replace main-floor seating to increase patron comfort, introduce barrier-free seating and stage access, replace audio?visual systems, and completely replace all mechanical and electrical infrastructure sys?tems for heating, ventilation, and air condi?tioning.
Upon reopening in January 2004, Hill Auditorium will decrease in seating capacity from 4,169 to 3,710.
Crisler Arena
Crisler Arena, home to the Michigan Wolverine basketball teams, stands as a tribute to the great Herbert O. "Fritz" Crisler, Michigan's third all-time winning football coach. Crisler served 10 years as Michigan's football coach (1938-1947) and 27 years as athletic director (1941-1968) of the University. The arena was designed by Dan Dworksky under the architectural firm of K.C. Black & C.L. Dworsky and opened in 1968. The event facility has a capacity of 13,609.
While serving as a site of Big Ten Conference championship events, Crisler has also played host to popular acts such as Pearl Jam, Bill Cosby, the Grateful Dead, and even Elvis Presley during his final concert tour.
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
Notwithstanding an isolated effort to estab?lish a chamber music series by faculty and students in 1938, UMS regularly 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. The superlative Mendelssohn Theatre has been the home of the UMS Song Recital series for the past eight years.
Michigan Theater
The historic Michigan Theater opened January 5,1928 at the peak of the vaude?villemovie palace era. Designed by Maurice Finkel, the 1,710-seat theater cost around $600,000 when it was first built. As was the custom of the day, the theater was equipped to host both film and live stage events, with a full-size stage, dressing rooms, an orchestra pit, and the Barton Theater Organ. At its opening the theater was acclaimed as the best of its kind in the country. Since 1979, the theater has been operated by the not-for-profit Michigan Theater Foundation.
In the fall of 1999, the Michigan Theater opened a new 200-seat screening room addi?tion, which also included expanded restroom facilities for the historic theater. The gracious facade and entry vestibule was restored in 2000, and balcony restorations have been completed.
Power Center for the Performing Arts
The Power Center for the Performing Arts grew out of a realization that the University of Michigan had no adequate proscenium-stage theatre for the performing arts. Hill Auditorium was too massive and technically limited for most productions, and the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre too small. The Power Center was designed to supply this missing link in design and seating capacity.
In 1963, Eugene and Sadye Power, together with their son Philip, wished to make a major gift to the University, and amidst a list of University priorities was mentioned "a new theatre." The Powers were immediately inter?ested, realizing that state and federal government were unlikely to provide financial support for the construction of a new theatre.
No seat in the Power Center is more than 72 feet from the stage. The lobby of the Power Center features two hand-woven tap?estries: Modern Tapestry by Roy Lichtenstein and Volutes by Pablo Picasso.
Rackham Auditorium
Sixty years ago, chamber music concerts in Ann Arbor were a relative rarity, presented in an assortment of venues including Univer?sity Hall (the precursor to Hill Auditorium), Hill Auditorium, and Newberry Hall, the cur?rent 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.
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church
In 1950, Father Leon Kennedy was appoint?ed pastor of a new parish in Ann Arbor. Seventeen years later ground was broken to build a permanent church building, and on March 19,1969 John Cardinal Dearden dedi?cated the new St. Francis of Assisi Church. Father James McDougal was appointed pastor in 1997.
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church has grown from 248 families when it first started in 1950 to more than 2,800 today. The present church seats 900 people and has ample free parking. In 1994 St. Francis purchased a splen?did three manual "mechanical action" organ with 34 stops and 45 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 for the enjoyment and con?templation of sacred a cappella choral music and early music ensembles.
Ypsilanti Venues
EMU Convocation Center
An exciting new era in EMU athletics was set in motion in the fall of 1998 with the opening of the $29.6-million Convocation Center. The Barton-Malow Company along with the architectural firm Rossetti Associates of BirminghamThe Argos Group began con?struction on the campus facility in 1996. The Convocation Center opened its doors on December 9, 1998 with a maximum seating capacity of 9,510 for center-stage entertain?ment events.
Pease Auditorium
Built in 1914, Pease Auditorium was reno?vated in 1995. Earlier this year, the resto?ration of the AeolianSkinner pipe organ was completed and the interior of the auditorium was refurbished. Pease Auditorium can seat up to a total of 1,541 concertgoers.
Detroit Venues Detroit Opera House
The Detroit Opera House opened in April of 1996 following an extensive renovation by Michigan Opera Theatre. Boasting a 75,000-square-foot stage house (the largest stage between New York and Chicago), an orchestra pit large enough to accommodate 100 musicians and an acoustical virtue to rival the world's great opera houses, the 2,735-seat facility has rapidly become one of the most viable and coveted theatres in the nation. As the home of Michigan Opera Theatre's grand opera season and dance series, and through quality programming, partnerships and educational initiatives, the Detroit Opera House plays a vital role in enriching the lives of the community.
Orchestra Hall
Orchestra Hall was dedicated in 1919 as the new home of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. In 1939, after the depression, the orchestra moved to the Masonic Temple Theatre and the facility was renamed the Paradise Theatre. The Paradise became one of the nation's most famous stages for African-American Jazz musicians (1941-1951).
In the late 1950s, the building was aban?doned and fell into disrepair. In 1964, it was headed for the wrecking ball, but local citizens rallied to save the great concert hall. DSO musicians and volunteers founded Save Orchestra Hall, Inc., to marshal citizen sup?port for the retention and restoration of the building to its former architectural grandeur.
In September 1989 the DSO returned to Orchestra Hall, now its permanent home, capping a multi-million-dollar restoration effort.
In 1996, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra launched Orchestra Place, an ISO-million development project on eight acres of land surrounding Orchestra Hall.
Burton Memorial Tower
Seen 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. UMS administrative offices returned to our familiar home at Burton Memorial Tower in August 2001, following a year of significant renovations to the University landmark.
This upcoming season marks the second year of the merger of the UMS Ticket Office and the University Productions Ticket Office. Due to this new partnership, the UMS walk-up ticket window is now conveniently located at the Michigan League Ticket Office, on the north end of the Michigan League building at 911 North University Avenue. The UMS Ticket Office phone number and mailing address remains the same.

"Dear U!MS Matrons,
Thank you for joining us at this UMS performance. We appreciate your support of the per?forming arts and of UMS, and we hope we'll see you at more of our programs this season. Check the complete listing of UMS's 0203 events beginning on page 29 of the glossy pages of your program book and on our website at www.ums.org.
The performance you are attending today is NOT "just another concert." I am proud to say that the artists we are presenting to you this season are specially chosen because they offer UNIQUE points of view about their craft and the music they are showcasing.
In the past month, we have heard The Cleveland Orchestra perform HK Gruber's Frankenstein!!, the Venice Baroque Orchestra perform the music of their city's soul mate Antonio Vivaldi, and the Takacs Quartet play Beethoven...and we have witnessed Medea in the hands of Fiona Shaw and Deborah Warner. These memorable live performance experiences are unique in the vast world of culture...and they represent exactly what UMS hopes to make a part of your life.
Now...I am happy to report that the tradition continues with all the performance offerings covered in this edition of the UMS Program Book:
Herbie Hancock musical innovator extraordinaire returns to Ann Arbor's Michigan Theater, this time with his new quartet featuring Gary Thomas, Scott Colley, and Terri Lyne Carrington.
Cantigas de Santa Maria a concert of sacred music from 13th-century Spain and North Africa when Alfonso X ruled over a nation of diverse religions and cultures -Jewish, Muslim and Christian. The performers include the Boston Camerata, Camerata Mediterranea and L'Orchestre Abdelkrim Rais from Fez, Morrocco.
Caetano Veloso the revolutionary grandfather of Brazilian song!
Violinist Gidon Kremer once again returns to Ann Arbor with a compelling pro?gram of chamber music in the Rackham Auditorium.
Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France under the direction of Myung-Whun Chung offers us the rare experience of hearing Olivier Messiaen's Turangalila-symphonie...a true masterpiece of the 20th century. Chung is one of a few experts of this staggeringly complex and enigmatic repertoire which he studied and perfected with Messiaen over the final decade of his life. Fasten your seatbelts!
If there's anything you would like to share with me about your experience with UMS, no matter what it is, drop me a note or send me an e-mail at mkond@umich.edu.

Herbie Hancock is a true icon of modern music. His explorations have transcended limitations and genres, and at the same time he has maintained his unmistak?able voice. Mr. Hancock's success at expand?ing the possibilities of musical thought has placed him in the annals of this century's visionaries. He has attained an enviable bal?ance of commercial and artistic success, arriving at the point in his career where he ventures into every new project motivated purely by the desire to expand the bound?aries of his creativity.
No stranger to career accolades, Herbie won the 1987 Academy Award for his soundtrack to the film Round Midnight. He has won eight Grammy Awards in the past two decades, including three for his 1998 album Gershwin's World. Underlying these awards is the fact that there are few artists in the entire music industry who have gained more respect and cast more influence than Herbie Hancock. As the immortal Miles Davis said in his autobiography: "Herbie was the step after Bud Powell and Thelonious Monk, and I haven't heard anybody yet who has come after him."
Born in Chicago in 1940, Hancock was a child piano prodigy who performed a Mozart piano concerto with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at the age of 11. He began playing jazz in high school, initially influenced by Oscar Peterson and Bill Evans. Also at this time, an additional passion for electronic science began to develop. As a result, he took a double major in music and electrical engineering at Grinnell College. In 1960, at age 20, Herbie was discov?ered by trumpeter Donald Byrd, who asked him to join his group. Mr. Byrd also intro?duced Herbie to Alfred Lion of Blue Note Records; and after two years of session work with the likes of Phil Woods and Oliver Nelson, he signed to the legendary label as a solo artist. His 1963 debut album, Takin' Off,
was an immediate success, producing "Watermelon Man," an instant hit at jazz and R&B radio.
Also in 1963, Hancock received the call that was to change his life and fix his place in jazz history. He was invited to join the Miles Davis Quintet. During his five years, with Davis, Hancock and his colleagues thrilled audiences and recorded classic after classic, including albums like ESP, Nefertiti, and Sorcerer. Most jazz critics and fans regard this group, which also included Wayne Shorter (tenor sax), Ron Carter (bass), and Tony Williams (drums) as the greatest small jazz group of the 1960s. Even after he left, Miles's group, Herbie continued to appear on Davis's groundbreaking recordings In A Silent Way and Bitches Brew, which heralded the birth of jazz-fusion.
Simultaneously with his work for Miles, Hancock's own solo career blossomed on Blue Note with even more classics like Maiden Voyage, Empyrean Isles, and Speak Like A Child. In 1966, he composed the score to Michelangelo Antonioni's film, Blow Up. This led to a successful career in feature film and television music, including Bill Cosby's Emmy-winning Hey, Hey, Hey, It's Fat Albert, and later, Death Wish, Colors, Jo Jo Dancer Your Life Is Calling, Action Jackson, Harlem Nights, and his Oscar-win?ning score to Round Midnight.
After leaving the Miles Davis Quintet in 1968, he moved full-time into electronic jazz-funk. In 1973, Headhunters, his second recording with Columbia Records, became jazz's first platinum album. Discontent to travel just one creative path, he also stayed close to acoustic jazz in the 1970s, recording and performing with VSOP (a reunification of the 1960s Miles Davis Quintet, with Freddie Hubbard substituting for Davis), Chick Corea and Oscar Peterson.
The crowning achievement of Herbie Hancock's Verve years thus far has been Gershwin's World. Recorded and released in
1998, the album brought artists from all over the musical spectrum together in a cel?ebration of George Gershwin and his entire artistic milieu. Herbie's collaborators included Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder, Kathleen Battle, the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Wayne Shorter and Chick Corea. Gershwin's World won three Grammies in
1999, including "Best Traditional Jazz Album" and "Best R&B Vocal Performance" for Stevie Wonder's "St. Louis Blues."
A lover of education and technology, Mr. Hancock founded the Rhythm Of Life Foundation in 1996. Since 1991, he has been the Distinguished Artist in Residence at Jazz Aspen Snowmass in Colorado, a non-profit organization devoted to the preservation and performance of jazz and American music. He also serves as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz, the foremost international organization devoted to the development of jazz performance and education worldwide. As he enters his fifth decade of professional life, Herbie Hancock remains where he has always been: at the forefront of world cul?ture, technology and music.
Tonight's performance marks Herbie Hancock's second appearance under UMS auspices. He made his UMS debut in a duet performance with saxophonist and composer Wayne Shorter in November 2000 in Michigan Theater.

Mystic Spain
What are the Cantigas
High among the many achievements of the Spanish King Alfonso X, called "El Sabio" -the Wise (1221-1284), is the superb collec?tion of more than 400 sacred songs to the Virgin Mary, the celebrated Cantigas de Santa Maria. King Alfonso's cantigas are the most important examples of vernacular song from the Spanish Middle Ages; more than that, they are a summit of medieval Christian spirituality. They are preserved in several large and elaborate manuscripts pre?pared at the royal court, and while it is doubtful that the King composed all of the songs personally, it is clear that he was closely involved, emotionally and materially, in their compilation.
Espaiia es differente
And yet, while the theological and literary center of these pieces miracle ballads in their majority, interspersed with songs of praise to the Virgin is intensely Christian, any attempt to perform them anew needs to take into account the special, polycultural situation of medieval Spain. The Spanish context of the 13th century was unmistak?ably mixed, with strong Muslim and Judaic influences present everywhere. Alfonso's court was a reflection of the general situa?tion during this period. Calling himself "King of the three religions," the liberal-minded Alfonso surrounded himself with scholars and artists of all faiths. The illumi?nated miniatures in the most elaborate of the cantigas manuscripts bear witness to intense cross-cultural interaction: musicians in typically Christian, Islamic, and Jewish garb are shown performing their instru?ments; light-skinned and dark-skinned musicians making music together. And many of the instruments depicted in these miniatures, while now rare or extinct in
Europe, are still current in the Muslim world of North Africa.
It is for these reasons that our perfor?mances of Alfonso's cantigas attempt to integrate certain musical elements, and musicians, whose points of reference lie outside the mainstream of Western classical music.
A cross-cultural experiment
While we can never be sure exactly how the musicians at King Alfonso's court might have interpreted these songs, we have every?thing to gain in our hypothetical recon?struction by calling on musical traditions currently outside, but once closely related to, European musical practice. Accordingly, we have asked an outstanding ensemble of current Moroccan masters to supply accom?paniments to the vocal lines set out in the manuscript pages, using the instruments they currently employ in their own reper?toire. These instruments are, in many cases
(lute, percussion) virtually the same as those shown in the medieval manuscript, or, in the case of the Moroccan violin and alto, closely related thereto.
Furthermore, the possible relationship between Arabic musical art and the music of medieval Spain goes far beyond the ques?tion of instrumental morphology. The clas?sical Arabic music of North Africa is called Andalusian music, and its contemporary practitioners are conscious of perpetuating a system of musical thought and practice that is traced back to the Muslim courts of medieval Spain. Four hundred years after the "reunification" of Spain under a Christian Kingdom, the once-closely-related traditions of Christian and Muslim Spain have, inevitably, grown apart. But what is astonishing to the occidental student of Arabic classical music is how much the cur?rent tradition contains that is self-evidently very ancient. The modes of Andalusian music as currently practiced in Morocco are very similar to those employed in the European Middle Ages. The exotic micro-tones associated with oriental music in the Western imagination are absent from this classically-codified musical system. The scales are composed, like Gregorian chant, of tones and semitones arranged in different patterns according to the mode. Thus, the practitioner of Arabo-Andalusian repertoire can assimilate the melodies of the cantigas to his own instrument or voice with little disruption, and even with delectation. And, as we happily discovered during the weeks of preparatory collaboration, many melodic motifs, formulas and patterns found in the cantigas are still employed in Arabo-Andalusian music.
How were the Cantigas sung
Unlike the musical accompaniments, which are not noted in the Cantigas manuscript and which need to be re-imagined anew, the melodies are clearly set out in the medieval source. While the intervallic relationships and (to a somewhat lesser extent) the rhythms are clearly exposed in the original notation, the questions of stylistic nuance and interpretation are not. In fact, given the heterogeneous makeup of King Alfonso's court (the King himself was half German!), a broad range of options and singing styles may have been available, as it is today in vital and diverse crossroads centers like New York or Marseilles. We have therefore recruited accomplished vocal soloists from a variety of backgrounds. All of our singers have Mediterranean roots Occitanian, Spanish, Kabyll, Arabic, and Judeo-Berber -and all the women soloists have sung canti?gas and other medieval repertoires prior to coming together for this project. But we have tried, while creating a unitary frame?work, to allow for and encourage the diver?sity inherent both in our selection of soloists and (we believe) in the song reper?toire itself.
The preparation of these cantigas has been a large undertaking, as exhilarating and passionate in its human interactions as it has been on the scholarly and musical front. In proceeding as we have done, have we reproduced the music of Alfonso's 13th-century court in every detail No, for that task is clearly impossible for us, or for any?one else. On the other hand, have we per?haps come closer to the spirit of the cantigas, and to that extraordinary, humane, and convivial moment of our collective past Such is our wish as we send this beau?tiful music forth into the world, and to you.
Program note by Joel Cohen.
The Boston Camerata has been fas?cinating and charming audiences around the world for over four decades. Under the direction of Joel Cohen, the Camerata is inter?nationally praised for its consistently unique programming and superb execution. Founded in 1954, the Boston Camerata was associated with the Boston Museum of Fine Arts until 1974, when the ensemble began touring overseas and building an interna?tional presence. The Camerata's numerous teaching, research, recording and concert projects have brought their work to audi?ences throughout Europe, Singapore, Israel, Japan, Mexico and Canada. In the US, the Camerata has participated in the early music festivals at Berkeley, Boston and San Antonio. The ensemble continues to tour the US extensively and undertook its first Scandinavian tour in 1996 and its first Austrian tour in 1998.
The many recordings of the Boston Camerata have been distributed worldwide on the Erato, Glissando, Harmonia Mundi, Nonesuch and Telefunken labels. These recordings have garnered extensive recogni?tion, including a number of international awards. The Camerata's 1989 recording Tristan et Iseult, based on original sources of the medieval Tristan and Iseult legend, won the Grand Prix du Disque of the Academie Charles Cros, Paris. Their 1993 release of Jean Gilles' Requiem became a bestseller in Europe. The 1996 release of music by John Dowland, Farewell, Unkind: Songs and Dances, was nominated for the French Grand Prix des Discophiles. In 1997, Angels: Voices of Eternity was nominated for National Public Radio's Performance Today Award. The Camerata Mediterranea release Cantigas de Santa Maria was awarded the Edison Prize in the Netherlands in Spring 2000. Other recent recorded programs include Douce Beaute, a collection of 17th-century French love songs, Liberty Tree, an
anthology of early American secular music and What Then Is Love: An Elizabethan Songbook, highlighting England's golden age of poetry and song.
In collaboration with the Shakers of Sabbathday Lake, Maine, Joel Cohen and the Camerata released Simple Gifts, a historic chronicle of Shaker music in America. In the 19992000 season, this unique program was presented on the Great Performers Series at Lincoln Center and in Chicago. A second recording of Shaker songs, The Golden Harvest, was released to critical acclaim in Fall 2000. Tonight's performance of the Boston Camerata is part of a historic US tour of the Cantigas de Santa Maria with Mohammed Briouel, director of the Andalusian Orchestra of Fez, and members of the Camerata Mediterranea and SHARQ Arab-American Ensemble.
The Camerata's popular Christmas pro?grams continue to delight audiences across the US. The Boston Camerata's many media appearances include a nationally syndicated radio series in the US and appearances on British, French, Dutch, German, Swiss, Norwegian, Swedish, and Canadian radio as well as French television and American Public Television.
This evening's performance marks the Boston Camerata and Joel Cohen's UMS debuts.
The European-based sister ensemble to the Boston Camerata, Camerata Mediterranea, was founded in 1990 by Joel Cohen with assistance from the late Michel Garcin of Erato Records and the Festival Mediter?ranean. The "Cam Med's" mission is to explore the early music repertoires of the Mediterranean basin, employing musicians with personal, musical, and linguistic roots in the geographic area of study and perfor?mance. Earlier projects by Camerata Mediterranea, centered around the music and poetry of the Provencal troubadours, toured France, Italy, Spain, Morocco, and the US. The ensemble's first two CDs won critical press honors in France and England (Gramophone Editor's Choice).
This evening's performance marks Camerata Mediterranean UMS debut.
Led for many years by the great Abdelkrim Rais, L'orchestre Abdelkrim Rais is now led by the late master's chief disciple, Mohammed Briouel. Based in Fez, Morocco, the ensemble is one of that coun?try's most eminent practitioners of the cen?turies-old Arabo-Andalusian, classical Spanish repertoire that has been passed down in North Africa, by oral tradition, since the 15th century. Mr. Briouel is also director of the Conservatoire de Musique of Fez and the author of published transcrip?tions of Arabo-Andalusian naouba music. His group has toured the world in recent seasons, including stops in the Far East and the US, and has made numerous commer?cial recordings in Morocco and France.
This evening's performance marks Mohammed Briouel's UMS debut.

...one of the greatest songwriters of the century." Jon Pareles, New York Times
Born in Santo Amaro, Bahia, in 1942, Caetano Veloso began his professional musical career in 1965 in Sao Paulo. In his first compositions he drew on the bossa novas of Joao Gilberto, but rapidly began to develop his own distinctive style. Absorbing musical and aesthetic ideas from sources as diverse as The Beatles, concrete poetry, the French Dadaists and the Brazilian mod?ernist poets of the 1920s, Caetano, together with Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, his sister Maria Bethania, and a number of other poets and intellectuals, founded a movement called Tropicalismo. By experimenting with new
sounds and words, adding electric guitars to their bands and utilizing the imagery of modern poetry, Caetano became a musical revolutionary.
This short-lived movement, founded in 1968, ended abruptly when Caetano and Gil were sent into exile and lived in London. Now
universally credited with redefining what is known as Brazilian music, it laid the groundwork for a renaissance of Brazilian popular music both at home and abroad. Caetano and Gil returned to Brazil in 1972 and
found that Tropicalismo had remained intact and their audience had continued to grow. Although Tropicalismo set the tone for Caetano's career, his music has evolved greatly over the years. Incorporating elements of rock, reggae, fado, tango, samba canao, baiao and rap with lyrics containing some of the best poetry in a musical tradition rich in verse Caetano's music is sometimes tradi?tional, sometimes contemporary, often
hybrid. At once an astute social commentator and balladeer of highly emotive love songs, Caetano is one of the most respected poets in the Portuguese language. Indeed he is one of only a handful of artists who has resolved how to be musically modern and still unde?niably Brazilian.
Veloso followed his 1999 Grammy Award-winning Nonesuch release Livro, an album which garnered widespread critical acclaim in the US and brought with it his first-ever US tour, with the score for the Carlos Diegues film Orfeu.
In Spring 2001, Nonesuch released Noites do Norte (Nights of the North), a meditation
on themes of race, slavery and Brazil's quest for a national identity. Caetano's current release is Omaggio a Federico e Giulietta, a live recording made in 1997 in Rimini, in honor of two masters of Italian cinema, Federico Fellini and Giulietta Masina.
Caetano's long-awaited memoir, Tropical Truth: A Story of Music and Revolution in Brazil, has been published by Knopf this Fall, alongside the Nonesuch release of a new two-CD set, Live in Bahia, and the cur?rent month-long national tour, signaling a period of unprecedented activity in the US.
Tonight's performance marks Caetano Veloso's UMS debut.

Premiere rapsodie
Claude Debussy
Born August 22, 1862 in Saint Germain-en-
Laye, France Died March 25, 1918 in Paris
In his introduction to the score of Debussy's Clarinet Rhapsody, Graham Mackie has written:
In February 1909, Debussy was elected a member of the Conseil Superieur of the Paris Conservatoire and, in this capacity, was called on to serve on the jury at internal competi?tions. He was invited to write two test pieces for the 1910 clarinet contest; one for the interpretation class, the other [called simply Petite piece] for the sight-reading test...
Debussy obviously did not relish the prospect of adjudicating for on 8 July 1910 he wrote to his publisher, Jacques Durand: "On Sunday, (spare me a thought!) I will be hearing the Rhapsody for Clarinet in B-flat eleven times; I'll tell you about it if I'm still alive." The following week, on 15 July, he wrote again: "The clarinet contest was quite outstanding and, judging from the expression on the faces of my colleagues, the Rhapsody was a success! ...One of the competitors, Vandercruyssen, played it from memory with great musicianship. As for the others, their playing was accurate but mediocre."
The word "rhapsody," originally meaning the recitation of excerpts from a longer epic poem, was taken up in Romantic music as a name for a virtuosic composition with no strict formal structure. Yet sometimes (as in the case of some of Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsodies") a musical sequence was adopted in which a slower, lyrical section was followed by a faster, more brilliant one. This is the sequence that Debussy chose as the basis of his composition; there is a slow and dream?like first melody whose main notes are from the pentatonic scale (the black keys of the piano); after a short interlude in a medium
tempo, we hear the melody of the fast sec?tion {Scherzando) which, in contrast, makes ample use of chromatic half-steps. After a brief recall of the first theme, the second one returns to close the piece.
Debussy subsequently orchestrated this Rhapsody, which is now more frequently heard in that concerto-like form.
Sonata
Maurice Ravel
Born March 7, 1875 in Ciboure, Basses-Pyrenees, France Died December 28, 1937 in Paris
It is not universally known that Ravel wrote not one but two violin sonatas. An early sonata in one movement, from Ravel's stu?dent days, was long forgotten and published for the first time in 1975, the centenary year of the composer's birth. Yet although this work has now been available for a quarter of a century, everyone still refers to the familiar masterpiece from 1927 as "the" Ravel sonata for violin and piano.
Incidentally, these two works mark the beginning and the end, respectively, of Ravel's chamber-music output. They were also played for the first time by the same violinist, Georges Enescu in 1897 a 16-year-old prodigy and Ravel's fellow student at the Paris Conservatoire, and in 1927 a celebrated violinist and composer dividing his time between his native Romania and the French capital.
Enescu's most famous violin student, Yehudi Menuhin, was present as a boy of 11 when Ravel first showed Enescu his new sonata in 1927. As Menuhin later recalled in his autobiography Unfinished Journey, he was having a lesson with his teacher when,
Maurice Ravel suddenly burst into our midst, the ink still drying on a piano-and-
violin sonata which he had brought along... Enescu, chivalrous man as he was, craved my indulgence...then, with Ravel at the piano, sight-read the complex work, pausing now and then for elucidation. Ravel would have let matters rest there, but Enescu sug?gested that they have one more run-through, whereupon he laid the manuscript aside and played the entire work from memory.
The sonata became universally famous (and, in some quarters, infamous) for its central movement, "Blues." Certainly no one had ever included a blues in a violin sonata before, and Ravel didn't endear himself to conservative critics by this move. Yet he had been fascinated by jazz and blues for the better part of a decade and, unlike the con?servative critics, he did not think that American vernacular music was incompati?ble with the European classical tradition. A few years before the sonata, he had composed the opera L'enfant et les sortileges (The Child and the Enchantments), in which the teapot sang a ragtime and the china cup a foxtrot. In the "Blues" movement of the sonata Ravel gave a perfect rendition of the typical melodic and harmonic turns of the blues, while at the same time remaining French through and through a real stylistic miracle.
But the jazz influence is by no means restricted to this movement. The opening "Allegretto," which opens a graceful melody played by the piano's right hand, without accompaniment, contains a second motif, in which a single note is repeated in a striking rhythmic pattern. One commentator described this as "a mischievously percussive little figure from the same ragtime back?ground as Debussy's Minstrels" The devel?opment of these two distinct musical ideas is kept fairly simple throughout. Towards the end of the movement a soaring violin melody is superimposed on the materials heard previously, to help return the music to the idyllic state of the beginning.
On the other side of the "Blues" move?ment is a finale in perpetual motion that brings back some motifs from earlier move?ments such as the ragtime-like figure from the "Allegretto" and one of the characteristic licks from the "Blues." The uninterrupted sixteenth-notes of the violin start in a restricted melodic range, but they soon expand to include wider and wider arpeg?gios and higher and higher positions on the instrument. The energy constantly increases all the way to the end.
Suite from L'histoire du soldat
Igor Stravinsky
Born June 17, 1882 in Oranienbaum,
near St. Petersburg Died April 6, 1971 in New York
During the years of World War I, Stravinsky lived in Switzerland, unable to continue the large-scale projects that had catapulted him to world fame as the composer of the three great ballets Firebird, Petrushka and The Rite of Spring. Instead, he decided to write a short piece of musical theater that would not require large performing forces, would be easy to produce and to take on tour. He enlisted the help of Swiss novelist C.F. Ramuz, and together they created Chistoire du soldat (The Soldier's Tale), a work that did not fit any existing formal category. It was conceived as a combination of narra?tion, pantomime, dance, and music, exclud?ing singing. Stravinsky was inspired by some Russian folk tales from Afanasyev's classic collection, but he and Ramuz emphasized the universal (rather than specifically Russian) aspects of the story.
The Soldier (who also happens to be an excellent fiddler) is on his way home when he meets the Devil, disguised as an old man. The old man prevails upon the soldier to
surrender his violin, in exchange for a magic book that will bring him all the wealth in the world. The Soldier acquires the wealth, only to become quickly disillusioned. He loses his fortune, but recovers his violin after getting the Devil drunk during a card game. The Soldier cures a sick Princess with the sound of his violin, but loses the last round as the Devil takes hold of him just as he is about to reach his home village.
Stravinsky extracted two suites from L'histoire: one in nine movements for the original instrumentation (violin, double bass, clarinet, bassoon, cornet, trombone, and percussion) and another, in five movements, for clarinet, violin, and piano. This afternoon, we will listen to four of the five movements, with the third omitted. The latter version was made for Werner Reinhart, a wealthy supporter of Stravinsky who was also an excellent clarinet player. The entire work was dedicated to him, as were Stravinsky's Three Pieces for Solo Clarinet (1919).
Four Pieces, Op. 5
Alban Berg
Born February 9, 1885 in Vienna Died December 24, 1935 in Vienna
What made the Second Viennese School a "school" was not the fact that Alban Berg and Anton Webern studied with Arnold Schoenberg. The decisive factor was that long after the formal teacher-student rela?tionships had ended in 1908, the three com?posers remained close, showing one another their new works, constantly exchanging ideas, and in general, moving along parallel artistic paths. Both atonality and serialism -the school's principal innovations had yet to be developed at the time when the two younger composers took lessons from Schoenberg; it is significant that Berg and
Webern chose to follow their mentor's lead even when they were no longer his students.
Miniature form, as seen in Schoenberg's Six Little Piano Pieces, Op. 19, Webern's Four Pieces for Violin and Piano, Op. 7, or Berg's Four Pieces for Clarinet and Piano, Op. 5, was something all three composers were, to varying degrees, preoccupied with in the years after 1910. The goal of establishing new structural relationships among the tones (eventually resulting in the twelve-tone sys?tem) demanded, during this critical phase of the composers' evolution, the writing of works that were extremely brief. The sym?metrical eight-bar phrases of classical music seemed redundant; continuations already implied in a beginning did not need to be spelled out. In a miniature work, each and every note was crucial, and each had a structural significance all its own. Entire sonata movements could sometimes be compressed into the space of a few measures. And conversely, as Schoenberg said of another of Webern's miniatures, the Six Bagatelles for String Quartet, Op. 9: "A single gesture can become a whole novel, a single breath can express happiness in its totality."
Berg made his only contribution to atonal "miniaturism" with his clarinet pieces of 1913. (They were not performed until 1919, at a concert of Schoenberg's newly-founded Society for Private Musical Performances in Vienna.) The work makes use of Schoenberg's concept of the "emanci?pation of dissonance" (i.e. a harmonic lan?guage in which dissonances are no longer subject to classical rules of resolution). Accordingly, dissonant chords, made up of perfect and augmented fourths, can occupy a central position formerly reserved to triads.
The four movements an opening in moderate tempo, a slow piece, a quasi-scherzo (with a slower "mini-trio") and a complex, mysterious finale vaguely recall the outlines of a four-movement sonata cycle. Yet the emphasis is not on motivic
development (i.e. on getting from point A to point B) but rather on savoring each indi?vidual sound or motif as a self-contained event. At the same time, melody is never jet?tisoned: the piece abounds in singing lines for the clarinet, and, since all sonorities are made equal, Berg doesn't hesitate to use the traditional, very consonant major third prominently at several points in the piece.
Phantasie, Op. 47
Arnold Schoenberg
Born September 13, 1874 in Vienna Died July 13, 1951 in Los Angeles
By the time the master wrote his Violin Phantasy, both his star pupils were dead, and Schoenberg had become an emigre, "driven into Paradise," as he himself put it in one of his lectures. The American years were a personal and artistic struggle. The composer was in his sixties but had a wife and three young children to support. He taught composition at the University of California until the age of 70, and he wrote a number of works in a more accessible tonal idiom. At the same time, ever con?scious of his historic role as the creator of a new musical system, he continued to write twelve-tone music, despite the unpopularity of that idiom among concert audiences.
In the Phantasy for violin, written at the age of 75, Schoenberg's creative powers are undiminished, and the flow of ideas is as abundant as ever. As in his earlier twelve-tone works, serialism is just a technique that gives that flow of ideas a firm shape; it enables the composer to transcend the 19th century while preserving its commitment to expres?sivity. In fact, the first measure of the violin part is marked "passionato," measure five "dolce" and measure 25 "furioso" typically Romantic instructions, applied here to a
violin line constructed according to a new musical grammar.
The work consists of a sequence of short sections (variations on the material of the tone row), in turn dramatic, lyrical, playful and serious. Schoenberg first wrote out the virtuosic violin part filled with double-stops and harmonics as if he were composing a solo piece. He added the piano part later, but it is not simply an "accompa?niment," as he claimed: it contains its own idiomatic effects such as arpeggios, tremo?los, and massive chord progressions, accord?ing to the expressive demands of the music. Highly concentrated in form (though not as extremely aphoristic as the miniatures of the early 1910s), the Phantasy is, in a way, the summary of 50 years of compositional activity. It remained Schoenberg's last instrumental piece, followed only by a few shorter choral compositions.
Four Pieces, Op. 7
Anton Webern
Born December 3, 1883 in Vienna Died September 15, 1945 in Mittersill, near Salzburg
Instrumental technique for its own sake was always the farthest thing from Webern's mind. His art is characterized by extreme introspection, emotions calibrated with unmatched precision, and a search for new relationships among tones based on what Webern saw as the ineluctable consequence of music's evolution. Virtuosity would seem much too mundane a concern for an avant-gardist who abhorred all ostentation. And yet, a work like Four Pieces for Violin and Piano calls for two players whose mastery of their instruments is absolute. Of course, the difficulties are not of the same kind one might encounter in Paganini or
Rachmaninoff. Yet almost every note in the violin carries a special instruction: "on the fingerboard," "sul pontkelld" (near the bridge), "col legno" (with the wood of the bow), etc. Plucked notes and harmonies not only abound but are heard in fast alterna?tion in a way demanding a perfect control of the instrument. The subtle dynamic shad-ings and rhythmic intricacies in the piano part likewise require a consummate tech?nique and uncommon sensitivity.
Of the three Viennese composers, Webern stayed with miniature form the longest: the Six Bagatelles for String Quartet, Op. 9, the Five Pieces for Orchestra, Op. 10, and the Three Pieces for Cello and Piano, Op. 11, are all extremely brief.
The violin pieces are arranged in a slow-fast-slow-fast pattern, although the second piece contains numerous tempo changes, bringing the volatile spirit of the music into sharper relief. The work is rich in dynamic and textural contrasts. It begins with soft, muted violin harmonics, works its way up to a powerful dramatic climax in No. 2, and ends with one of Webern's favorite performance instructions: wie ein Hauch as an almost inaudible breath.
"Contrasts," Sz. Ill
B&a Bart6k
Born March 25, 1881 in Nagyszeirtmiklos,
Hungary (now Sinnicolau Mare, Romania) Died September 26, 1945 in New York
In 1938, the famous violinist Joseph Szigeti, who frequently performed sonata recitals with Bela Bartok, suggested to Benny Goodman that he commission a work from the Hungarian composer for violin and clar?inet with piano accompaniment. The result was Contrasts, Bart6k's only chamber work involving a wind instrument. The initial
agreement with Goodman (who paid Bartok a fee of $300) called for a piece in two movements (slow-fast) after the pattern of the two violin rhapsodies (which, like Debussy's Clarinet Rhapsody, followed a tra?dition established by Liszt). It is in that two-movement form that the work was first heard in public, in New York on January 9, 1939, with pianist Endre Petri standing in for the composer. The original title was Rhapsody Two Dances. The middle move?ment was already written but temporarily withheld by Bartok.
The first movement is called "Verbunkos," after a dance genre that had a decisive influence on all forms of Hungarian music in the 19th century. (The name comes from the German Werbung [recruit?ing], since, according to tradition, this dance was used at gatherings where young men were recruited for the army.) In turning to the verbunkos, Bartok was reclaiming a tra?dition that he had cultivated in his early works but then publicly repudiated, only to return to it in several works written during the last decade of his life. The movement is based on two themes. The first melody has the typical dotted pattern of the original verbunkos dance, while the second relates to the folk-music idiom of the violin rhap?sodies. There is a brilliant clarinet cadenza at the end.
The second movement ("Piheno" or "Relaxation") opens with a theme whose melodic material is highly chromatic and whose meter is constantly changing. Despite these "modern" traits, the melody was clearly inspired by Hungarian folksong. The music becomes more agitated in the brief second section, while the third contains a near-literal quotation from Bart6k's piano piece "From the Island of Bali," from Mkrocosmos. For all their "contrasts," however, all three sections of "Relaxation" are variations on the same descending-ascending idea.
The last movement, "Sebes" (Fast), calls for a scordatura on the violin (the E string is tuned down to E-flat and the G string up to G-sharp). The resulting diminished fifths instead of the expected perfect ones are a "play on tones," as it were, analogous to the plays on words which Bartok loved so much. After the opening measures, the violin switches to another instrument, tuned nor?mally. One of the episodes, in 138 time, exemplifies the so-called "Bulgarian rhythm," which Bartok employed in several of his works. Then it is the violinist's turn to play a cadenza. After a transitional meno mosso (less fast), the tempo speeds up considerably in the final section, and the work ends with a brilliant flourish.
Program notes by Peter Laki.
Of all the world's leading violinists, Gidon Kremer has perhaps had the most unconventional career. Born in Riga, Latvia, he began studying at the age of four with his father and grandfather, who were both distinguished string players. At the age of seven, he entered Riga Music school. At 16 .he was awarded the First Prize of the Latvian Republic and two years later he began his studies with David Oistrakh at the Moscow Conservatory. He went on to win such prestigious awards as the 1967 Queen Elizabeth Competition and the First Prize in both the Paganini and Tchaikovsky International Competitions.
This success launched Gidon Kremer's distinguished career, in the course of which he has established a worldwide reputation as one of the most original and compelling artists of his generation. He has appeared on virtually every major concert stage with the most celebrated orchestras of Europe and America. He has also collaborated with many distinguished conductors, including
Leonard Bernstein, Herbert von Karajan, Christoph Eschenbach, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Lorin Maazel, Riccardo Muti, Zubin Mehta, James Levine, Valery Gergiev, Claudio Abbado and Sir Neville Marriner.
Gidon Kremer's repertoire is unusually extensive, encompassing the entire standard classical and romantic violin works, as well as music by 20th-century masters Henze, Berg and Stockhausen. He has also champi?oned the works of living Russian and Eastern European composers and has performed many important new compositions; several of them dedicated to him. He has become associated with such diverse composers as Alfred Schnittke, Arvo Part, Giya Kancheli, Sofia Gubaidulina, Valentin Silvestrov, Luigi Nono, Aribert Reimann, Peteris Vasks, John Adams and Astor Piazzolla, bringing their music to audiences in a way that respects tradition yet remains contemporary. It would be fair to say that no other soloist of his international stature has done as much for contemporary composers in the past 30 years.
An exceptionally prolific recording artist, Gidon Kremer has made more than
100 albums, many of which brought him prestigious international awards and prizes in recognition of his exceptional interpreta?tive powers. These include the Grand prix du Disque, the Deutscher Schallplattenpreis, the Ernst-von-Siemens Musikpreis, the Bundesverdienstkreuz, the Premio dell' Accademia Musicale Chigiana, the Triumph Prize 2000 (Moscow) and in 2001, the Unesco Prize. In February 2002 he and the Kremerata Baltica were awarded a Grammy for their latest Nonesuch recording, After Mozart, in the category of "Best Small Ensemble Performance."
In 1981 Mr. Kremer founded Lockenhaus, an intimate chamber music festival that continues to take place every summer in Austria. For two years, in 1997-1998, Mr. Kremer took over artistic leader?ship of the Gstaad Festival from its founder, Sir Yehudi Menuhin. In 1997 he founded the Kremerata Baltica chamber orchestra to fos?ter outstanding young musicians from the three Baltic States. Since then, Mr. Kremer has been touring extensively with the orchestra, appearing at many of the world's most prestigious festivals and concert halls. He has recorded a number of CDs with the orchestra for Teldec and Nonesuch. In 2002 Gidon Kremer will become the artistic leader of a new festival in Basel, Switzerland "les museiques."
Gidon Kremer plays a Guanerius del Gesii "ex-David," dating from 1730. He is also the author of three books, published in German, which reflect his artistic pursuits.
This afternoon's performance marks Gidon Kremer's seventh appearance under UMS auspices. Mr. Kremer made his UMS debut on April 28, 1983 as soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra under the baton of Maestro Riccardo Muti.
Sabine Meyer is regarded as one of the most outstanding clarinet soloists of our time. After studying with Otto Hermann in Stuttgart and Hans Dainzer in Hanover, Ms. Meyer first became a member of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in Munich and subsequently played with the Berlin Philharmonic as principal clarinetist and the ensemble's first female member. Since then she has given several concerts in all the important musical centers of Europe, Brazil, Israel, Canada, Africa, Australia, Japan and the US. She has also performed with numerous prominent orchestras, including the Chicago Symphony, the London Philharmonic, the NHK Symphony Orchestra Japan, Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Berlin Philharmonic and the radio symphonies of Vienna, Basel, Warsaw, Prague and Budapest.
In September 2000, she was Artist-in-Residence at the Lucern Festival, performing a wide variety of music, including the world premiere of Toshio Hosokawa's Metamor?phosis, performed with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe under conductor Heinz Holliger.
Ms. Meyer is also a committed chamber music player and has performed with Barbara Hendricks, Bruno Canino, Aloys Kontarsky, Heinrich Schiff, Gidon Kremer, the Alban Berg Quartet, the Hagen Quartet and the Vienna String Sextet.
In 1983, she founded Trio di Clarone with her husband, Reiner Wehle, and broth?er, Wolfgang Meyer. The Trio performs tra?ditional to contemporary works, inviting musicians and artists to collaborate with them on special projects. Their most recent crossover project was Bach 2000, a collabo?ration with jazz clarinetist Michael Riessier. In 1988, she founded Blaserensemble, a col?laboration between leading woodwind soloists from different countries. This ensemble regularly performs internationally
with a varied repertoire, ranging from clas?sical to the avant-garde.
Sabine Meyer has led master classes in Germany, Austria, Italy, Japan and the US and was awarded the ECHO prize for "Artist of the Year" for her exemplary recordings of the Stamitz concertos with the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields and Iona Brown.
This afternoon's performance marks Sabine Meyer's UMS debut.
Born in Odessa, Russia, Oleg Maisenberg began piano lessons at the age of five with his mother and completed his studies at the Gnessin Institute in Moscow. In 1967 he won Second Prize at the Inter?national Schubert Competition in Vienna; in the same year he won First Prize at the Music of the 20th-century Competition.
In 1981 he emigrated to Vienna. He has appeared with the Israel Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra, the Vienna Symphony, and the Berlin Philharmonic, and has per?formed under the batons of Christoph von Dohnanyi, Zubin Mehta, Eugene Ormandy,
Neeme Jarvi, and Nikolaus Harnoncourt.
Devoting much of his time to chamber music, he has collaborated with artists such as Hermann Prey, Robert Holl, Heinz Holliger and Andras Schiff, as well as con?tinuing his relationship with violinist Gidon Kremer, which has existed since his early years in Russia. Mr. Maisenberg has appeared at all the major festivals, including Salzburg, Vienna, Lucerne, Berlin, Florence, Edinburgh and the Sviatoslav Richter Festival in Moscow. He has made several recordings of Schubert, Schumann, Liszt, Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky, Scriabin, Berg, Webern, Schoenberg, Milhaud and others under the Orfeo, Harmonia Mundi, Teldec, Deutsche Gramophon, ECM and Philips labels.
Highlights of his career have included a 12-concert recital series at the Weiner Konzerthaus during the 19941995 season, in which each concert was dedicated to a different composer. This series was later brought out as a commemorative edition on a five-CD set. In 1995, he was named Honorary Member of the Vienna Konzerthaus Society.
This afternoon's performance marks Oleg Maisenberg's UMS debut.

Innovation, Spirituality, Mystery
by Peter Laki
To hear a work by Messiaen is to embark on a unique journey. Here was a composer who, at the age of 36, had written a book entitled Technique of My Musical Language and had every right to use the possessive pronoun. He had in fact created a new musical language that was all his own, based on a careful study and ingenious application of ancient Greek and Indian rhythmic theories, as well as a brilliantly original extension of classical harmony. Although some of Messiaen's musical inventions appear in his music from the 1930s and early '40s (especially in Poems for Mi and the Quartet for the End of Time), he had not fully realized everything his theories made possible at that point. Yet nothing was further from Messiaen than writ?ing music "by the book." The new technical means were just that: means that allowed him to express things that had never been conveyed in music before. In later years, he developed other means, essentially to the same end: he became a passionate student of birdsong, trav?eling all over the world to record rare specimens and discovering what to him was a source of pure and transcendent music carrying a profound spiritual message.
It is well known that Messiaen was a devout Roman Catholic all his life. He did not set the traditional Latin liturgy to music, but all his works are imbued with the Catholic faith. (Messiaen served as the organist at the Church of La Trinite in Paris for 60 years.) In the 1930s, Messiaen frequently focused on the Christian interpretation of love, after marrying
his first wife, Claire Delbos and having a son with her. In the song cycle Poemes pour Mi, for which Messiaen wrote both the music and the words, the composer explored the mystical and spiritual connections of the sacrament of marriage. Its sequel, Chants de terre et de del (Songs of Heaven and Earth), celebrated the mystery of new life.
Subsequently, Messiaen engaged in a profound reflection over the medieval leg?end of Tristan and Yseult. Much later, he explained to the French music critic Claude Samuel what this ancient Celtic legend meant to him:
Messiaen: The legend is the symbol of all great loves and for all the great love poems in literature or in music..I've preserved only the idea of a fatal and irresistible love, which, as a rule, leads to death and which, to some extent, invokes death, for it is a love that transcends the body, transcends even the limitations of the mind, and grows to a cosmic scale.
Samuel: Isn't this notion of human love in contradiction with your religious faith
Messiaen: Not at all, because a great love is a reflection a pale reflection, but neverthe?less a reflection of the only genuine love: divine love.
In characteristic fashion, Messiaen left the actual story of Tristan, Yseult, and King Mark out of his concept. ("In no way did I wish to rework Wagner's Tristan und Isolde or Debussy's Pelleas, to mention only the two greatest 'Tristans' in music") Instead, he pro?duced a gigantic triptych of works, and with it, the first great synthesis of his composition?al career, in which the composer's important technical innovations enabled him to repre?sent love on a "cosmic scale." The trilogy opened with another song cycle for voice and piano, Harawi, closed with Cinq Rechants (Five Refrains) for twelve solo voices, and had the monumental Turangalila-symphonie,
for large orchestra, piano and ondes Martenot solos, as its central panel.
Messiaen was always extremely reticent about discussing his personal life. Yet it is known that the beginning of his work on the Tristan legend corresponds with the incurable illness of his first wife. It was around that time that he first met Yvonne Loriod, an exceptionally gifted pianist who was a member of his class at the Conservatoire; however, the composer, unshakably commit?ted to the sacrament of marriage, could express his feelings only in music. (Messiaen and Loriod got married in 1962, three years after Claire Delbos's death.) The composer never spoke in public about the intense suf?fering he must have gone through during the years of his "Tristan" trilogy.
In his later works, such as Chronochromie, Des canyons aux etoiles (From the Canyons to the Stars) or the opera Saint Francois d'Assise, Messiaen avoided the exuberant "Romantic" moments that can still be found in Turangalila, especially in the ecstatic out?bursts of Movements 5 and 10. Yet other movements, particularly "Turangalila I-III," anticipate the multi-layered complexities that were to come. And the piano figurations in Movement 4, marked "like a birdsong," prophesy the new turn Messiaen's style would take after 1950.
The very length and luxuriant orches?tration of Turangalila tell us that we are witnessing an exceptionally ambitious undertaking. Even more importantly, the immense richness and irresistible sweep of the music make it a pivotal work not only in Messiaen's artistic evolution but in the entire history of 20th-century music as well.
La mer Claude Debussy
Born August 22, 1862 in Saint Germain-en-
Laye, France Died March 25, 1918 in Paris
Tonight marks the 20th UMS performance of Debussy's La Mer. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Frederick Stock gave the UMS premiere of the piece on May 9, 1934 in Hill Auditorium.
The great French poet Charles Baudelaire wrote in his Flowers of Evil (Les Fleurs du Mai): "Homme libre, toujours tu cheriras la mer!" (Free spirit, you shall always cherish the sea!). The poem compares the unfath?omable depths of the human soul to the "richesses intimes" (secret riches) of the sea. Another great poet, Paul Verlaine, wrote: "La mer est plus belle que les cathedrales" (The sea is more beautiful than the cathe?drals); like Baudelaire, Verlaine used the sea as a metaphor for human emotions.
These poems are only two among many artistic representations of the sea, a constant preoccupation of painters from Turner to Hokusai to Monet. Debussy admired the works of all these painters and poets. He set -the Verlaine poem to music in 1891, and when the score of La mer was published, he requested that one of Hokusai's prints, "The Hollow of the Wave off Kanagawa," be reproduced as part of the cover design.
Poetic and pictorial sources provided at least as important impulses for La mer as did actual observation of the sea. (In addi?tion, Debussy's private life at the time of composing this work certainly did not lack a certain turbulence. In 1904 he left Lily, his wife of five years, and moved in with Emma Bardac, the wife of a wealthy financier. Lily attempted suicide; in the ensuing scandal many of Debussy's friends broke off rela?tions with him. Debussy and Mme. Bardac had a daughter, whom they named
Chouchou, on October 30,1905--two weeks after the premiere of La mer. The parents got married, after their respective divorces were completed, in January 1908.)
Many of Debussy's orchestral works are cast in three movements: the Three Nocturnes, or the three Images, the second of which (Iberia) is a triptych in itself. But crit?ics have noted that in La mer, Debussy came closer to writing an actual symphony than ever before. This view arose in part from the strong cohesion between the three move?ments: despite their differences in character, they are united by a strong drive from the first minute to the last. The calm sea of the first movement is followed by the "play of the waves," and then by a more agitated "dialogue" between the wind and the sea.'
Debussy's compositional technique in La mer also contributes to our "symphonic" impression of the piece. Rarely did he make such ample use of motivic development as here. More than once, the surge of the waves is suggested by the repetition and transfor?mation of motifs which derive from the classical tradition, although the motifs employed are highly individual and the ways in which they are developed are totally inde?pendent from classical sonata form.
Like a symphony, La mer starts with a slow introduction, with a gradual accelerando leading into the main section. Flutes and clarinets intone the first theme, a pentatonic idea--that is, playable on the black keys of the piano--in parallel fifths. (Parallel fifths had for long time been anathema in music; Puccini had been one of the first to use them in La Boheme, premiered in 1896). A second theme, of great warmth, is introduced by the horns; a third one by the cellos, divided into four groups. The lilting rhythm of this last theme builds up to the movement's climax, after which the tempo becomes slow again, as at the beginning. The horns on one hand, and the flutes and clarinets on the other, repeat their respective themes once more before the movement ends.
The second movement's trajectory is roughly similar to that of the . A number of brief motifs are introduced by distinct instrumental groups (in this case, the english horn, the oboe, the horns and a solo violin are some of the protagonists). In the first half of the movement, the tempo periodically accelerates and slows down, suggesting the play of the waves. The second half is a single accelerando that reaches a climax, only to fade back into a slower tempo and softer dynamics. The woodwinds evoke some frag?ments from the themes they played earlier, enveloped by the ethereal sounds of the harp and the glockenspiel.
In the last movement, marked Anime et tutnultueux (Animated and tumultuous), the sea gets rather rough at times. For the first time, the melodies are in real contrast with one another, expressing the idea of "dialogue" contained in the title. The languorous lyrical theme of the high woodwinds is pitted against a more angular melody played first by the trumpet, and later by bassoons, horns, and cellos. (This melody has already been heard in the first movement.) Again, the waves get stronger and stronger until the climactic moment, but this time the music does not fade away; the piece ends with a powerful fortissimo.
It is said that Debussy's father wanted the young Achille-Claude to become a sailor. Had this come to pass, La mer probably would never have been written. Debussy's contemporary, Albert Roussel, who had abandoned a career in the French Navy to devote himself to composition, was working on his first symphony at the same time Debussy was composing La mer. But the former seaman had no intentions of cele?brating the sea; instead, he called his work Lepoeme de laforet (The Poem of the Forest).
1 The original titles of the three movements expressed these con?trasts even more sharply. Debussy had planned to call the first movement "Mer belle aux lies Saiiguinaires" (Calm Sea around the Sanguinary Islands [Corsica and Sardinia]), and the last, "Le vent fait darner la mer" (The wind makes the sea dance).
Turangalila-symphonie (rev. 1990) Olivier Messiaen
Born December 10, 1908 in Avignon, France Died April 28, 1992 in Clichy, Hauts-de-Seine
Tonight marks the UMS premiere ofMessiaen's Turangalila-symphonie.
In 1945, the 37-year-old Messiaen received a commission from Serge Koussevitzky for the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Koussevitzky set no deadline for the work, and told the composer: "Choose as many instruments as you desire, write a work as long as you wish and in the style you want."
Messiaen worked on his score for two years, completing it on November 29, 1948. Koussevitzky, scheduled to conduct the first performance, became ill at the last minute and his assistant, Leonard Bernstein, had to take over. The work was extremely well received and soon became one of the most often-performed new scores in the world, in spite of the huge performing forces required and the enormous technical difficulties of the music.
As Messiaen explained, the title Turangalila comes from the 13th-century Indian music theorist Sarndageva, who combined two Sanskrit words to describe one particular rhythmic formula. Lila can mean "play" in a cosmic sense: "the play of creation, of destruction, of reconstruction, the play of life and death" but it also means "love." Turanga "is time that runs, like a galloping horse [and] that flows, like sand in an hourglass...movement and rhythm." The work, then, is a play of love, life, and death expressed through movement and rhythm one might add, a unique vision of love, life and death expressed through a unique approach to movement and rhythm.
Turangalila is the first in a long series of orchestral works by Messiaen containing a
concerto-sized (but not concerto-like) piano solo written for Yvonne Loriod. With this work and the ones that followed it {Reveil des oiseaux, Sept haika'i, and especially Des canyons aux etoiles), Messiaen placed the relationship between the piano and the orchestra on an entirely new footing. An instrument that Messiaen used less frequently but always to great effect is the ondes Martenot (Martenot waves), an electronic instrument invented by Maurice Martenot (1898-1980). The instrument consists of two units, a keyboard and a ribbon con?troller. The New Grove Dictionary of Music further explains:
The keyboard controls the frequency of a variable oscillator; the signal is then ampli?fied and radiated as sound from a loud?speaker.... The right hand plays both the rib?bon and the keyboard, of which each key is capable of slight lateral movement, micro-tonally shifting the pitch and enabling the performer to create a vibrato. Wide glissan-do sweeps and expressive portamentos are achieved by sliding the ribbon laterally by means of a ring for the index finger.... The left-hand controls, accessed from a pull-out drawer, feature switches and potentiometers that govern articulation, dynamics, envelope [the variation of amplitude in time] and timbre.
The ondes Martenot plays a very important role in the work. As Messiaen wrote,
Everyone is aware of it in those moments of paroxysm when it dominates the fortissimo with its expressive and high-pitched voice. But it is also used in the serious and in the sweetly lyric passages, for velvety glissandi, for tone color, and for echo themes. In the sixth movement the theme of love uses two special speakers of the ondes. Finally, I have made extensive use of its metallic quality: for each sound there is a corresponding metallic resonance from within the speaker, giving it a halo of harmonics. Strange, mys?terious, unreal in their sweetness, cruel, lac-
erating, terrifying in their strength, the metallic timbres are without doubt the most beautiful of the instrument.
In addition to the two main solo instruments, the vibraphone', the celesta; and the jew de timbres (glockenspiel1) are prominent in the work, as are a variety of drums, cymbals, gongs, wooden blocks and maracas (rattles). The emphasis on percussive and metallic sounds reflects the profound influence of the Balinese gamelan orchestras on Messiaen. This group of instruments is frequently treated as a separate unit, contrasted with the strings and winds at different points of the work.
Turangalila is in ten movements, forming several interlocking series. The opening and closing movements frame two movements inscribed "Chant d'amour" (Song of Love), three entitled "Turangalila" and three more, each with its own poetic title. The move?ments grouped together under similar head?ings develop certain technical or aesthetic ideas in ever-changing ways, and their alter?nation ensures a great diversity of musical colors. (Color was an extremely important concept to Messiaen, who discussed it at great length with Claude Samuel in a book of interviews that, not coincidentally, is enti?tled Olivier Messiaen: Music and Color.)
Diversity, however, is counterbalanced by unity, thanks to a number of main motifs that pervade the entire work almost like Wagnerian leitmotifs. (In this sense, Messiaen definitely pays tribute to the two great earli?er musical "Tristans," the operas of Wagner and Debussy, both of which use leitmotifs prominently.) Messiaen himself identified and labeled the principal motifs, or "cyclic themes," of the work. The "Introduction" announces two of these: first what the com?poser called the "statue motif," an austere sequence of parallel thirds played by the trombones (Ex. 1), and preceded by charac?teristic glissandos on the ondes Martenot.
Ex. (tl -
The image of a "statue" came from Mozart's Don Giovanni, in which the statue of the Commendatore appears to challenge the Don and send him to hell, but also from a story by Prosper MeYimee (the author of the original Carmen), in which a statue of Venus avenges a wrongdoing in a most hor?rible fashion. Musically, Messiaen traced these parallel thirds to the "Catacombs" from Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition (orchestrated by Ravel), but he might have mentioned Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung as well, where one of the important leitmotifs consists of sonorities quite similar to these.
The second theme is the "flower" theme, played in the "Introduction" by the woodwinds who are asked to "caress" the short notes (Ex. 2).
This is followed by the first great piano cadenza which incorporates the flower theme, and then by an extended section of complex rhythmic polyphony whose ele?ments are derived from an ancient Indian rhythmic treatise that Messiaen had studied extensively during the 1930s. (Indian music contained many rhythmic patterns that were not based on the halving of durational val?ues as most Western patterns are but involve the addition or subtraction of small units; Messiaen made use of this principle in a great many of his works, creating a distinctly new sense of musical time.) This complex section ends abruptly with a fast glissando
Ex. 83
for piano and woodwinds, cut off by the percussion.
Movement 2, "Chant d'amour I" (Song of Love I) brings, after a rhythmically com?plex introduction, an alternation of a refrain with two episodes. The refrain itself is in two parts: an agitated motif and a striking slow idea played by strings and ondes. It is the first appearance of another "cyclic theme," the motif of love (Ex. 3).
This melody is distinguished by its strong attachment to the tonality of F-sharp Major, colored by special harmonies from Messiaen's system illuminating that tonality from unexpected angles. The fast and slow themes may represent the passionate and the transfigured aspects of love, respectively. One of the episodes is based on the ferocious central part of Messiaen's first great orchestral work, Les Offrandes oubliees (The Forgotten Offerings) of 1930. All the themes are intense?ly developed, until at the point of culmi?nation Ex. 3 appears played fortissimo by the entire orchestra and the ondes. The move?ment closes with a final burst of energy.
Movement 3 is the first of three move?ments labelled "Turangalila," after the Indian rhythmic formula. This "rhythmic study" opens as pure chamber music, with a "dreamy" dialog between clarinet and ondes, with metallic timbre. The trombones soon enter with a powerful theme, juxta?posed with the "gamelan" ensemble led by the piano. After a brief return of the earlier "dreamy" theme, a magical new idea appears, as the sinuous theme of the oboe and flute are complemented by the continu?ous motion of the piano and celesta. Several themes, including the "statue" motif, are then developed simultaneously, before they are cut off by the sudden return of the initial "chamber-music" sonority.
In the opening of Movement 4, "Chant d'amour II," the French musicologist Harry Halbreich, a former Messiaen student and the author of one of the best books on the composer, heard, "somewhat irreverently, an echo of An American in Paris (turned into a Frenchman in Boston)." The similarity is undeniable though only momentary. The theme has an unmistakable scherzo character. Messiaen derived the form of the entire movement as deriving from the scherzo; the jaunty opening idea is opposed to two inter?connected "trio" sections. The first of these has a full scoring dominated by the seductive siren sound of the ondes Martenot. Motivically, it is a variant of the "love" theme. The second "trio" is another lyrical idea played by eight solo strings (seven vio?lins and one cello). Soon the two trios and the jaunty scherzo are all combined, com?plete with some ornamental piano figura?tions, marked prophetically "like a birdsong." At the climactic moment, this complex web of sound is suddenly interrupted by a second piano cadenza that has no thematic connec?tions to the rest of the movement. It is, rather, a personal reaction to what has just happened. As a coda, the three main themes ("flower," "statue" and "love") are reiterated as brief reminders before the ethereal clos?ing arpeggio of the movement.
We reach the work's center of symmetry with two movements of totally opposite character, each a gripping expression of an extreme psychological state. Movement 5, "Joie du sang des etoiles" (Joy of the Blood of the Stars), represents ecstatic joy. It sur?prises by being more clearly tonal and more regular in its meter than any other move?ment. The parallel thirds of the "statue" theme are energized into a wild melody repeated maniacally and passed back and forth between the various sections of the orchestra. The ondes Martenot screams, the orchestra unleashes passionate chromatic passages as the music reaches the peak of
ecstasy. At that moment a new piano caden?za erupts (this time accompanied by the soft roll of the bass drum). The parallel thirds of the "statue" theme are treated with a fury and a sense of abandon that seem to surpass even the preceding orchestral development. And then, a moment of surprise: the tempo suddenly slows down and the statue theme again becomes "statuesque," borne by the powerful blocks of brass sonorities and cul?minating on a clear D-flat Major chord.
The title of the slow Movement 6, "Jardin du sommeil d'amour" (Garden of Love's Sleep), follows the same grammatical construction as the title of the previous movement, to emphasize the relationship of the two, which is one of total contrast. The entire movement is devoted to the tender "love" theme, played by the muted strings and the ondes Martenot in a slow tempo whose tranquility nothing can disturb; the piano adorns the texture with its magical stylized birdsongs. The first flute and first clarinet add sensual melodic flourishes of their own. The occasional strokes of the tri?angle and the temple blocks seem to occur at random intervals, but in reality follow a highly organized pattern in which the dura?tions either increase or decrease by one six?teenth-note value at a time. (The attacks in one of the temple-block parts become grad?ually more frequent, by almost unnoticeable increments, while those of the other temple-block player move further apart.) Hidden patterns such as these contribute more than a little to the sense of ordre, beaute, luxe, calme et volupte that pervades this move?ment. (The French words order, beauty, luxury, calm and intense pleasure are from one of Charles Baudelaire's most famous poems, L'invitation au voyage, which, we may say without exaggeration, was of defin?ing importance to French artists of the last one hundred-plus years.)
Messiaen's commentary to this move?ment is particularly poetic:
The two lovers are wrapped in the sleep of love. A landscape has issued from them. The garden that surrounds them is called Tristan; the garden that surrounds them is called Isolde. This garden is full of shadows and lights, plants and new flowers, and melodious birds of bright colors.... Time slips by, forgotten. The lovers are outside time; let's not wake them.
Alas, the lovers must awaken in Movement 7, "Turangalila II." A piano cadenza opens this movement; it is made up largely of "birdsong" motifs, but instead of singing the lovers to sleep, they now seem to be alerting them to danger. There is some?thing disquieting in the orchestral parts: the painful chromatic descent of the ondes Martenot (later answered symmetrically by a chromatic ascent), the menacing percus?sion solos, an eerie counterpoint with woodwind, the appearance of the "statue" motif and the brutal stroke of the bass drum which abruptly brings the movement to the end all this suggests high drama. Messiaen likened the mood to Edgar Allen Poe's horror story The Pit and the Pendulum, in which a prisoner experiences fright in the extreme. This movement is the shortest of the ten, but it manages to create considerable tension.
Movement 8, "Developpement de l'Amour" (Development of Love), is, in a way, the culmination point of the sympho?ny. As Messian follows his shortest move?ment with his longest, he takes up all his leitmotifs from the previous movements and "develops" them as a classical composer would in a development section; the love of Tristan and Yseult also "develops" in the process, as their love, in Messiaen's words, "grows steadily into infinity." The frequent changes in tempo and texture indicate the full range of conflicting emotions the souls have to traverse. Attacks marked charnel et terrible (carnal and terrible) escalate to a monumental climax where the transcendent love theme is proclaimed in all its majesty.
The final sonorities of the movement, according to Messiaen, suggest "echoing vibrations in the caves of oracles...reso?nances from the languages of beyond...the 'statue theme' leans over the abyss."
Movement 9, "Turangalila III," returns to the chamber-music quality in "Turangalila I," and also recalls the percus?sion solos from "Turangalila II." The wood?winds, the gamelan instruments and, of course, piano and ondes are the main pro?tagonists; the strings enter in the second half of the movement, then only represented by a few solo players, in what is a particularly luminous, shimmering orchestral texture. The percussion continues the complex incremental patterns of the earlier move?ments, but the other instruments eventually settle into a straightforward and quite regu?lar 24, accentuated by a woodwind motif made up of repeated staccato notes. The movement is cut off abruptly in the middle of a major crescendo.
In Movement 10, "Final," the parallel thirds of the "statue theme" lose their men?acing nature for good and are transformed into a dance of joy, a little like in Movement 5 but at a slightly more moderate tempo. Tonality is embraced again: the main melody is clearly in F-sharp Major (which to Messiaen was the most luminescent of all keys). An enormous crescendo leads to the final appearance of the love theme in a very slow tempo culminating in the fortissimo of the entire orchestra with ondes, bringing about the climactic ending of the monu?mental work.

Myung-Whun Chung began his musical career as a pianist, making his debut with the Seoul Philharmonic at the age of seven. In 1974 he won the second prize at the Tchaikovsky piano com?petition in Moscow. After his musical studies at the Mannes School and at The Juilliard School in New York, he became Carlo Maria Giulini's assistant in 1979 at the Los Angeles Philharmonic and two years later he was named Associate Conductor.
He was Music Director of the Saarbriicken Radio Symphony Orchestra from 1984 to 1990, Principal Guest Conductor of the Teatro Comunale of Florence from 1987 to 1992 and Music Director of the Opera de Paris-Bastille from 1989 to 1994. The year 2000 marked his return to Paris as Music Director of the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France. His love for Italy has been at the basis of his extensive work in that country for many years, including, since 1997, his appointment as Principal Conductor of the Santa Cecilia Orchestra in Rome. Outside Europe, he has been increasingly committed to musical and social causes in Asia. Music Advisor of the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra as from this season, he has also founded the Asia Philharmonic Orchestra, a special project which every year brings together musicians of Asian countries who find through music the means to overcome historical barriers.
He has conducted virtually all the world's leading orchestras, including the Berlin Philharmonic, Concertgebouw, all the major London and Parisian orchestras, Munich Philharmonic, La Scala, Bayerisch Rundfunk, Vienna Philharmonic, Boston Symphony, Chicago Symphony, Metropolitan Opera, Cleveland Orchestra, New York Philharmonic and Philadelphia Orchestra.
An exclusive recording artist for Deutsche Grammophon since 1990, his numerous works have gained many interna?tional awards. His recent releases include a Dvorak series with the Vienna Philharmonic, of which Symphony Nos. 6 and 8 won a Grammophotie award.
He has been the recipient of many hon?ors and prizes for his artistic work, including the Premio Abbiati and the Arturo Toscanini prize in Italy; in 1991, the Association of French Theatres and Music Critics named him "Artist of the Year" and in 1995 he won "Victoire de la Musique."
Deeply sensitive to humanitarian and ecological problems of our age, Myung-Whun Chung has devoted an important part of his life to these causes. In 1994 he launched a series of musical and environ?mental projects in Korea for youth. He has served as Ambassador for the Drug Control Program at the United Nations (UNDCP) since 1992. In 1995, he was named "Man of the Year" by UNESCO and also "Most Distinguished Personality" by the Korean press. In 1996, he received the "Kumkuan," the highest cultural award of the Korean government for his contribution to Korean musical life. Maestro Chung now serves as Honorary Cultural Ambassador for Korea, the first in the Korean government's history.
Tonight's performance marks Myung-Whun Chung's UMS debut.
Valerie Hartmann-Claveriestudied piano, harp, ondes Martenot and chamber music at college followed by further study of the ondes Martenot at the Paris Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique with the esteemed Jeanne Loriod.
In 1973, Ms. Hartmann-Claverie gave her debut concert in Vienna, and now per?forms throughout Europe with prestigious orchestras such as the London Symphony, Berlin Philharmonic, Boston Symphony, New York Philharmonic, Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg, New Japan Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra London, BBC Symphony Orchestra Manchester, Wiener Symphoniker, Orchestre National de France, and Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France. She has collaborated with leading conductors such as Seiji Ozawa, Kent Nagano, Kurt Masur, Marek Janowski, Myung-Whun Chung, and Zubin Mehta.
Ms. Hartmann-Claverie participated in the creation of Olivier Messiaen's opera Saint Francois d'Assise and she is considered a premiere interpreter of his work.
Additionally, Ms. Hartmann-Claverie was a member of the Loriod Sextet from its founding in 1974 until 1995, and in 1996 founded the quartet Ondes de Choc. As well as continuing her successful solo career, she teaches the ondes Martenot at the Paris Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique.
Tonight's performance marks Valerie Hartmann-Claverie's UMS debut.
A former student of Yvonne Loriod at the Paris Conservatory, Roger Muraro is considered one the finest performers of Olivier Messiaen's works. He is the recipient of the First Prize of the 1981 International Franz Liszt Competition in Parma, Italy as well as
the Grand Prix of the 1986 International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow.
Of Italian origin, Mr. Muraro has col?laborated with leading conductors such as Zubin Mehta, Pinchas Steinberg, Marek Janowski, Valery Gergiev, Yuri Ahronovitch, Marc Soustrot, Myung-Whun Chung, and Kent Nagano and with prestigious orches?tras such as the Philharmonics of Berlin and Vienna, the Gewandhaus of Leipzig, the Orchestre National de France, the Residentie Orkester of The Hague, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, the RSO of Berlin, and the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
In the 0203 season, Mr. Muraro will make his first appearance with the Orchestre de Paris conducted by Yutaka Sado and per?forms as soloist on the current US tour of the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France.
Tonight's performance marks Roger Muraro's UMS debut.
The Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France was founded in 1976 in order to give Radio France, the largest producer of music in France, a tool capable of respond?ing to the needs of a wide variety of pro?grams. The originality of this 138-member orchestra lies in its extreme flexibility. The orchestra can be divided into two or even three ensembles suited to very different repertoires. Thus, the Orchestre Philharmonique is able to present more than 50 different programs each season, ranging from the full symphony orchestra to much smaller instrumental ensembles.
Marek Janowski, who was appointed the orchestra's Music Director in 1989 (having already been its principal guest conductor since 1984), presented his last season with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France
in 1999. The most notable feature of this 16-year collaboration was its intensive work on the Austro-German repertoire, with large-scale cycles devoted to Beethoven (from the complete symphonies to the series of concertante works performed with Francois-Rene Duchable at the Theatre des Champs-EIysees), Schubert (in particular the French premieres of the operas Fierrabras and Des Teufels Lustschloss), Schumann, Brahms, Weber, Wagner (the three complete Ring cycles in 1986,1988 and 1992, the first given in Paris since 1957), Bruckner and the Second Viennese school, culminating in the performance of Arnold Schoenberg's Gurrelieder at the Salle Pleyel on December 12, 1999 with the combined forces of the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France and the choirs of Radio France and of Berlin Radio.
At the same time the orchestra has maintained its pioneering tradition, and devotes a considerable part of its repertoire to works of the 20th century. Every year it gives the first performances of around 15 new works, including compositions by John Adams, George Benjamin, Luciano Berio, Elliott Carter, Edison Denisov, Franco Donatoni, Sofia Gubaidulina, Olivier Messiaen and Iannis Xenakis.
Myung-Whun Chung was appointed Music Director of the Orchestre in February 2000. The first recordings by Myung-Whun Chung and the Orchestre have just been released, including L'Arbre des songes and Tout un monde lointain by Henri Dutilleux with Renaud Capucon (violin) and Truls Mork (cello), and La Transfiguration de Notre Seigneur Jesus Christ by Olivier Messiaen with pianist Roger Muraro and the Chceur de Radio France, conducted by Myung-Whun Chung. In Fall 2002, Des Canyons aux etoiles by Olivier Messiaen with the pianist Roger Muraro, and Symphony No. 5 by Beethoven were released by DGG.
Recent recordings also include a special presentation box of four CDs of several concert recordings by the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, conduct?ed by Marek Janowski, consisting of works by Schumann, Brahms, Wagner, Bruckner, Strauss, Sibelius, Faure, Debussy and Henri Dutilleux, and a disc-book for children enti?tled Leo, Marie and the Orchestra.
Tonight's performance marks the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France's UMS debut.
