FROM THE U-M PRESIDENT
The University of Michigan joins the University Musical Society (UMS) in welcoming you to its 125th Anniversary Season. We are proud of the wonderful partnership between our two organizations and of the role of the University as co-sponsor of several events on this season's calendar. In addition to
reflecting the artistic beauty and passion that are integral to the human experience, these jointly sponsored events are also wonderful opportunities for University of Michigan students and faculty to
learn about the creative process and the sources of inspiration that motivate artists and scholars.
Several superb productions will result from our partnership. The current season includes an exciting collaboration of UMS, the University of Michigan Museum of Art, and the University's Center for Russian and East European Studies. This alliance is creating a multidisciplinary festival, Celebrating St. Petersburg, 300 Years of Cultural Brilliance. Among the brilliant offerings in the series is Alexander Pushkin's Boris Godunov, directed by Declan Donnellan, a Royal Shakespeare Company alumnus. It will be performed in Russian with English supertitles. The University and UMS will also jointly pres?ent an authentic Elizabethan production by Shakespeare's Globe Theatre: the witty comedy Twelfth Night, which will have a week of performances in the Michigan Union Ballroom. The historically accurate
production is presented in association with the 100th Anniversary Celebration of the Michigan Union.
We are delighted to welcome UMS back to Hill Auditorium in time to celebrate its 125th Anniversary with concerts and revelry between January 17-19. Some of the high?lights of the year will include a festive gala dinner full of surprises on January 17, and a rare appearance of the marvelous Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique and the Monteverdi Choir on January 18. The weekend will conclude with the Jazz Divas Summit on January 19, as the University and UMS jointly commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
I want to thank the faculty and staff of the University of Michigan and the University Musical Society for their hard work and dedication in making our partnership a success. The University of Michigan is pleased to support the Univer?sity Musical Society during this exhilarating 0304 season, and we share the goal of making our co-presentations academic and cultural events that benefit the university community and the broadest possible constituency.
Sincerely,
Mary Sue Coleman
President, University of Michigan
FROM THE UMS PRESIDENT
Thank you for joining us for this performance during UMS's historic 125th season. We appreciate your support of the performing arts and of UMS, and we hope that we'll see you at more of our programs during this milestone season. Check the complete listing of UMS's 0304 events beginning on p. 27 and on our web-
site at www.ums.org. UMS is the oldest university-related per?forming arts presenting organization in the United States. From its founding in 1879 as the Choral Union under
U-M Professor Henry Simmons Frieze to the current day, UMS has sought to bring to the community the very best in the performing arts from around the world. When I think about how UMS has been able to pursue and carry out this commit?ment to excellence for more than a century, six factors come to mind:
1) The incredible support of you, the audience. I place at the very top of this list the outstanding support UMS has received over its entire history from the people of Michigan and northern Ohio. By your faithful attendance and generous financial support -one of our most generous patrons has been a Choral Union Series subscriber for over 60 years -UMS has not only thrived locally but has become one of the leading presenters in the US. Internationally renowned artists and ensembles often tell us following their tours in the US that the Ann Arbor audi-
ence was the best on the tour -in its size, sophistication, and enthusiastic response. Thank you!
2) Our unique relationship with the University of Michigan. Years ago, enlightened leaders of both UM and UMS determined that UMS should be an independent organization, but one with a special affiliation with the University. This unique relationship has enabled us to develop many mutually beneficial programs that serve both the University and the larger community. While UMS does not receive general fund or student-fee support, we have been able to seek and receive special support from the University when we have faced an unanticipated challenge or an extraordinary artistic opportunity. Those who study uni?versitypresenter partnerships have told us that ours with U-M is the most effective in the US. To our most significant, long-time partner, we say thank you!
3) Abundant, high-quality performance venues. How fortunate that we have in a community of our size so many remark?able venues for our performances, includ?ing Hill and Rackham Auditoriums, Power Center, Mendelssohn Theatre, Michigan Theater, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, EMU Convocation Center, and the others we use now and have used in the past. Such a diverse array of facilities enables us to provide an appropriate venue for whatever artistic genre we are present?ing. Please join us for the weekend events January 17-19 when UMS returns to the renovated and restored Hill Auditorium.
4) A century of bold impresarios. We need only to be reminded of former UMS President Charles Sink's ability to convince the most famous singer in the world, Enrico Caruso, to perform in Hill Auditorium in 1919 to appreciate the imagination, negoti?ating skills, and chutzpah that characterized the impresarios who led UMS through its first century. The last of this special group was Mr. Gail Rector, who led UMS with great distinction until his retirement in 1987 and who has recently returned from the south to live in Ann Arbor. When you see him at our concerts, please take a moment to thank him for his contributions to UMS. Gail and his predecessors continue to inspire the current UMS team every day as we recall their single-minded determina?tion to bring the very best to Ann Arbor, no matter what!
5) Outstanding volunteers. Put quite simply, UMS could not exist were it not for nearly 700 volunteers who serve UMS now and for the thousands of others who preceded them over the years. Each member of the 150-voice Choral Union, 300-member UMS Usher Corps, 39-member Teacher Advisory Committee, 10-member Student Intern Corps, 46-member Advisory Committee, 63-member Senate, and 34-member Board of Directors is a volun?teer, giving their time and talents to UMS. We are deeply grateful for their dedication and service.
6) Remarkable staff. I am privileged to work with unusually talented, creative, hardworking, and loyal staff colleagues. Frequent turnover is the norm for arts organizations, yet the team of UMS department heads has an average tenure with UMS of 11 years. This is remarkable. Each member of this team -Sara Billmann, Ben Johnson, John Kennard, Michael Kondziolka, and Susan McClanahan -has achieved a measure of national leader?ship in his or her respective areas of expertise. The remainder of the staff is comprised of equally dedicated colleagues who share the management team's commit?ment to serving the mission of UMS. We are pleased to recognize the contributions of UMS's longest serving staff member, Sally Cushing, when she celebrates her 35th anniversary with UMS this fall.
Feel free to get in touch with us if you have any questions or problems. The best place to begin is with our Ticket Office at 734.764.2538. 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, please 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
Welcome to the 0304 season! In the University Musical Society's 125th season, there is much to celebrate. We can look forward to the St. Petersburg celebration with Valery Gergiev and the Kirov Orchestra, the Globe Theatre's pro?duction of Twelfth Night, and the Israel Philharmonic among many. Most impor-
tantly, Saturday, January 17, 2004 brings an exciting concert that celebrates UMS's return to Hill Auditorium and 125 years of UMS history. Our tradition of bringing
excellent music, theater, and dance to the southeast Michigan community has grown to include education for the whole com?munity -school children, university students, and adults -and the creation of new and exciting works such as those that have come to us through the Royal Shakespeare Company.
The rich cultural history of UMS is one I know you want to continue. Many of you made extraordinary efforts to ensure our future by making an additional gift, or an increased gift, after you learned of our budgetary challenges last spring. We greatly appreciate your support, which helped to keep us on solid financial ground.
I hope you will continue to keep UMS high on your list of philanthropic priorities. If you haven't made a gift before, or haven't made a gift for some while, I hope you will consider doing so. In addition to your annual gift, you may be able to provide for UMS in a more substantial and longer-lasting way, with a gift to endowment or through a trust or bequest arrangement. Susan McClanahan, Director of Develop?ment, would be pleased to talk with you about ways of making your gift that will benefit you as well as UMS. Remember, your gift to UMS ensures the continuation of the brilliant programming and educa?tional activities for future generations.
Sincerely,
Tn

For the 0304 sea?son, students may purchase discounted tickets to UMS events in three ways:
1. Each semester, UMS holds a Half-Price Student Ticket Sale, at which students can purchase tickets for any event for 50 off the published price.

Be sure to get there early as some performances have limited numbers of tickets available.
2. Students may purchase up to two $10 Rush Tickets the day of the performance at the UMS Ticket Office, or 50 off at the door, subject to availability.
3. Students may purchase the UMS Student Card, a pre-paid punch card that allows students to pay up front ($50 for 5 punches, $100 for 11 punches) and use the card to purchase Rush Tickets during the 0304 season.

UMSannals
Through an uncompromising commit?ment to Presentation, Education, and the Creation of new work, the University Musical Society (UMS) serves Michigan audiences by bring?ing to our community an ongoing series of world-class artists, who represent the diverse spectrum of today's vigorous and exciting live performing arts world. Over its 125 years, strong leadership coupled with a devoted com?munity has placed UMS in a league of interna?tionally-recognized performing arts presenters. Indeed, Musical America selected UMS as one of the five most influential arts presenters in the United States
in 1999. Today, the UMS seasonal program is a reflection of a thoughtful respect for this rich and varied history, balanced by a commitment to dynamic and creative visions of where the performing arts will take us in 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
Every day UMS seeks to cultivate, nurture, and stimulate public interest and participation in every facet of the live arts.
and world music performers, and opera and theater. Through educational endeavors, com?missioning 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 70 performances 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 and Ypsilanti.
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 organi?zation that supports itself from ticket sales, corporate and individual contributions, foun?dation and government grants, special project support from U-M, and endowment income.
UMS CHORAL UNION
Throughout its 125-year history, the UMS Choral Union has performed with many of the world's distin?guished 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 performances of large-scale works for chorus and orchestra. Eleven 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 Meadow Brook for subscription performances of Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms, John Adams' Harmonium, Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, Orff's Carmina Burana, Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe and Brahms'
Participation in the Choral Union remains open to all by audition. Members share one common passion -a love of the choral art.
Ein deutsches Requiem, and has recorded Tchaikovsky's The Snow Maiden with the orchestra for Chandos, Ltd.
In 1995, the Choral Union began accepting invitations to appear with other major regional orchestras, and soon added Britten's War Requiem, Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius, the Berlioz Requiem and other masterworks to its repertoire. During the 9697 season, the Choral Union again expanded its scope to include per?formances with the Grand Rapids Symphony, joining with them in a rare presentation of Mahler's Symphony No. 8 (Symphony of a Thousand).
Led by interim conductor Jerry Blackstone, the Choral Union will open its current season with performances of Verdi's Requiem with the DSO in September. In December the chorus
will present its 125th series of annual perform?ances of Handel's Messiah. The Choral Union's season will conclude with a performance of William Bolcom's Songs of Innocence and of Experience in the newly renovated Hill Auditorium.
The Choral Union's 0203 season included 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. The Choral Union's sea?son concluded in March with a pair of magnifi?cent French choral works: Honegger's King David, accompanied by members of the Greater Lansing Symphony Orchestra, and Durufle's mystical Requiem, accompanied by internation?ally renowned organist Janice Beck.
The Choral Union is a talent pool capable 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 theater favorites with Erich Kunzel and the DSO at Meadow Brook. 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. Comprised of singers from Michigan, Ohio and Canada, members of the Choral Union share one common passion -a love of the choral art.

VENUES
The 0304 UMS season will include performances by the world's celebrated music, dance and theater artists in 11 venues in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti.
Hill Auditorium
The 18-month $38.6-million dollar renovations to Hill began on May 13, 2002 overseen by Albert Kahn Associates, Inc., and historic preservation architects Quinn EvansArchitects. Originally built in 1913, current renovations will update Hill's infrastructure and restore much of the interior to its original splendor. Exterior renovations will include the reworking of brick paving and stone retaining wall areas, restoration of the south entrance plaza, the reworking of the west barrier-free ramp and loading dock, and improvements to landscaping.
Interior renovations will include the demo?lition of lower-level spaces to ready the area for future improvements, the creation of additional restrooms, the improvement of barrier-free cir?culation by providing elevators and an addition with ramps, the replacement of main-level seating to increase patron comfort, introduction of barrier-free seating and stage access, the replace?ment of theatrical performance and audio-visual systems, and the complete replacement of mechanical and electrical infrastructure systems for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.
When it re-opens in January 2004, Hill Auditorium will seat 3,540.

Power Center
The Power Center for the Performing Arts was bred from a realization that the University of Michigan had no adequate proscenium-stage theater 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 built 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 the?ater." The Powers were immediately interested, realizing that state and federal government were unlikely to provide financial support for the construction of a new theater.
Opening in 1971 with the world premiere of The Grass Harp (based on the novel by Truman Capote), the Power Center achieves the seemingly contradictory combination of providing a soaring interior space with a unique level of intimacy. Architectural features include two large spiral staircases leading from the orchestra level to the balcony and the well-known mirrored glass panels on the exterior. No seat in the Power Center is more than 72 feet from the stage. The lobby of the Power Center features two hand-woven tapestries: Modern Tapestry by Roy Lichtenstein and Volutes by Pablo Picasso.
The Power Center seats approximately 1,400 people.
Rackham Auditorium
Fifty years ago, chamber music concerts in Ann Arbor were a relative rarity, presented in an assortment of venues including University Hall (the precursor to Hill Auditorium), Hill Auditorium, Newberry Hall and the current home of the Kelsey Museum. When Horace H. Rackham, a Detroit lawyer who believed strongly in the importance of the study of human history and human thought, died in 1933, his will established the Horace H. Rackham and Mary A. Rackham Fund, which subsequently awarded the University of Michigan the funds not only
to build the Horace H. Rackham Graduate School which houses Rackham Auditorium, but also to establish a $4 million endowment to further the development of graduate studies. Even more remarkable than the size of the gift, which is still considered one of the most ambi?tious ever given to higher-level education, is the fact that neither of the Rackhams ever attended the University of Michigan.
Designed by architect William Kapp and architectural sculptor Corrado Parducci, Rackham Auditorium was quickly recognized as the ideal venue for chamber music. In 1941, the Musical Society presented its first chamber music festival with the Musical Art Quartet of New York performing three concerts in as many days, and the current Chamber Arts Series was born in 1963. Chamber music audiences and artists alike appreciate the intimacy, beauty and fine acoustics of the 1,129-seat auditorium, which has been the location for hundreds of chamber music concerts throughout the years.
Michigan Theater
The historic Michigan Theater opened January 5, 1928 at the peak of the vaudeville movie palace era. Designed by Maurice Finkel, the 1,710-seat theater cost around $600,000 when it was first built. As was the custom of the day, the theater was equipped to host both film and live stage events, with a full-size stage, dressing rooms, an orchestra pit, and the Barton Theater Organ. At its opening the theater was acclaimed as the best of its kind in the country. Since 1979, the theater has been operated by the not-for-profit Michigan Theater Foundation. With broad community support, the Foundation has raised over $8 million to restore and improve the Michigan Theater. The beautiful interior of the theater was restored in 1986. In the fall of 1999, the Michigan Theater opened a new 200-seat screening room addition, which also included expanded restroom facili?ties for the historic theater. The gracious facade and entry vestibule was restored in 2000 and the balcony and backstage restorations have been completed.
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church
In June 1950, Father Leon Kennedy was appointed 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 to more than 2,800 today. The present church seats 900 people and has ample free parking. In 1994 St. Francis purchased a splendid three manual "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 contemplation of sacred a cap-pella choral music and early music ensembles.
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 architec?tural firm of K.C. Black & C.L. Dworsky and opened in 1968. 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. In 2002, UMS presented its first concert in Crisler Arena, the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra Christmas Concert. The popular ensemble returns for a repeat performance on Friday, December 5.
The facility has a capacity of 13,609.

A Merry Little Sing-Along
Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer
Johnny Marks (Marks)
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer,
Had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw it,
You would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer Used to laugh and call him names. They never let poor Rudolph loin in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say: "Rudolph, with your nose so bright, Won't you guide my sleigh tonight"
Then how the reindeer loved him, As they shouted out with glee: "Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer, You'll go down in history!"
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane (Martin and Blane)
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
let your heart be light;
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight. Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
make the Yuletide gay; From now on, our troubles will be miles away.
Here we are as in olden days, Happy golden days of yore. Faithful friends who are dear to us Gather near to us once more.
Through the years we all will be together,
if the Fates allow;
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough, And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Jule Styne (Sammy Cahn)
Oh! the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful, And since we've no place to go, Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! It doesn't show signs of stopping, And I brought some corn for popping; The lights are turned 'way down low. Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
When we finally kiss goodnight, How I'll hate going out in the storm! But if you'll really hold me tight, All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And my dear, we're still good-bye-ing.
But as long as you love me so,
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
The Christmas Song
Mel Torme and Robert Wells (Torme and Wells)
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose, Yuletide carols being sung by a choir, And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Ev'rybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe Help to make the season bright. Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa's on his way,
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
And ev'ry mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
And so I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety-two, Al-tho' it's been said many times, many ways: Merry Christmas to you.
Winter Wonderland
Felix Bernard (Dick Smith)
Sleigh-bells ring, are you list'nin' In the lane, snow is glist'nin'. A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight, Walkin' in a winter wonderland!
Gone away is the blue-bird, Here to stay is a new bird. He sings a love song, as we go along, Walkin' in a winter wonderland!
In the meadow we can build a snowman, Then pretend that he is Parson Brown: He'll say, "Are you married" We'll say, "No, man! But you can do the job when you're in town"--
Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire,
To face unafraid, the plans that we made,
Walkin' in a winter wonderland!
Jingle Bells
. S. Pierpont (Pierpont)
Dashing thro' the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh, O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way; Bells on bobtail ring, making spirits bright; What fun it is to ride and sing A sleigh-ing song to-night. Oh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh-eigh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse o pen sleigh!

In 1881, Henry Lee Higginson, founder of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, wrote of his wish to present in Boston "concerts of a lighter kind of music." The first Boston Pops concert on July 11, 1885 represented the fulfill?ment of his dream. Called the "Promenade Concerts" until 1900, they combined light clas?sical music, tunes from the current hits of the musical theater, and an occasional novelty number. Allowing for some changes of taste over the course of a century, the early programs were remarkably similar to the Pops programs of today.
Pops concerts are performed by the Boston Pops Orchestra, which is composed of members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra (except for 12 of the principal players, who tour during the Pops season as the Boston Symphony Chamber Players), and by the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra, made up of other Boston-based musicians. Both the Boston Pops Orchestra and the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra appear on television and represent the city of Boston on tour. The Boston Pops Orchestra is featured in the long-running PBS series Evening at Pops. The Fourth of July concert featuring the Boston
Pops Esplanade Orchestra at the Hatch Shell in Boston is regularly broadcast nationwide. The Boston Pops Orchestra appeared at the White House as part of its 100th birthday celebration in 1985; the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra participated in the centennial celebration of the Statue of Liberty in 1986. John Williams led tours of Japan with the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra in 1987 and with the Boston Pops Orchestra in 1990 and 1993. Keith Lockhart has led the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra on tour to Japan and Korea, and he has also led the BPEO on 20 national tours.
The history of the Boston Pops was for many years linked with the name of Arthur Fiedler, who in 1930 became the 18th conductor of the Boston Pops and the first who was American-born. One of Fiedler's great dreams was to establish a series of free outdoor orchestral concerts for the people of Boston. In 1929, this dream became a reality when he organized the first Esplanade Concerts, which took place on the banks of the Charles River. Fiedler's Esplanade concerts were eventually absorbed by the Boston Symphony Orchestra organization.
Following Fiedler's death on July 10,1979, Boston Pops Associate Conductor Harry Ellis Dickson and a number of guest conductors led the orchestra until John Williams was appoint?ed Conductor in January 1980. Mr. Williams stepped down as conductor in December 1993 and now holds the title Laureate Conductor. Keith Lockhart became the 20th conductor of the Boston Pops in February 1995.
This evening's performance marks the Boston Pops' eighth appearance under UMS auspices. Between 1953 and 1962, the ensemble, then under the name Boston Pops Tour Orchestra, made six appearances in Ann Arbor under the baton of Arthur Fiedler. The ensemble returned to UMS in 2002 after a hiatus of 40 years. The Boston Pops made their UMS debut in March 1953.

Messiah
George Frideric Handel
Born on February 23, 1685 in Halle, Germany Died on April 14, 1759 in London
m eorge Frideric Handel's sacred f " oratorio Messiah is without ques-? __tion one of the most popular jt works in the choralorchestral "" repertoire today. In what has r become an indispensable
Christmas tradition, amateur and professional musicians in almost every city and town throughout the country perform this work as a seasonal entertainment, and are rewarded with the satisfaction of taking part in one of the great communal musical events.
Since the first performances in 1742, genera?tions of musicians have adapted Handel's Messiah to suit the changing tastes of fashion and function. The small ensembles Handel con?ducted himself had around 20 singers and an equal number of instrumental players, but even before the end of the 18th century much larger ensembles were performing the work. By the mid-19th century, when the appeal of the spec?tacle sometimes outweighed the demands of musical integrity, singers and instrumentalists for a single performance would often number in the several thousands. But the size of the ensemble wasn't the only variable. Mozart re-orchestrated Handel's score in 1789, adding extra parts for woodwinds to give the orchestral writing richer harmonies and a more varied timbre. In addition to Mozart's re-orchestration, Sir Arthur Sullivan and Eugene Goosens likewise made their own arrangements of the orchestral parts, updating the work for their respective audiences. And in 1993, a popular recording of excerpts from Messiah titled A Soulful Celebration brought together Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones, Al Jarreau, the Boys Choir of Harlem, and others in a gospel-style interpretation of Handel's music. The diversity of performance styles and enthusiastic responses to this oratorio over the
centuries testify to its immense popularity.
The oratorio as a musical genre originated during the 17th century in the churches and monasteries of Italy. In the Oratory (a side chapel found in many consecrated buildings), the theatrical presentation of vocal music on a sacred topic was an adjunct to the liturgy of the Church. But by 1700, oratorios were being per?formed in private chapels and palaces as a form of entertainment and had taken on the now-standard characteristics of a sung drama on sacred texts, without staging or costumes.
Handel composed several oratorios early in his career, including some in Italian -Trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno and La Resurrezione -and the later English-language works Esther, Deborah, and Athalia. But after the collapse of his operatic ventures in London around 1740, Handel devoted himself to the oratorio as a form in which he could combine his flair for dramatic vocal writing and his experience as a composer of sacred, devotional music. With these later oratorios Handel eventually won back the esteem of the London critics and secured a phenomenal public following that would ensure his future success and reputation.
The text for Messiah was selected and com?piled from the Authorized (King James) Version of the Bible by Charles Jennens, an aristocrat and musicianpoet of modest talent and excep?tional ego. With Messiah, Jennens seems to have outdone himself in compiling a libretto with profound thematic coherence and an acute sen?sitivity to the inherent musical structure. With the finished libretto in his possession, Handel began setting it to music on August 22, 1741 and completed it 24 days later. He was certainly working at white-hot speed, but this didn't nec?essarily indicate he was in the throes of devo?tional fervor, as legend has often stated. Handel composed many of his works in haste, and immediately after completing Messiah he wrote his next oratorio, Samson, in a similarly brief time-span.
The swiftness with which Handel composed Messiah can be partially explained by the musical borrowings from his own earlier compositions. For example, the melodies used in the two
choruses "And He shall purify" and "His yoke is easy" were taken from an Italian chamber duet Handel had written earlier in 74, "Quelfior die all' alba ride" Another secular duet, "No, di voi non vo' fidarmi" provided material for the famous chorus "For unto us a Child is born," and the delightful "All we like sheep" borrows its wandering melismas from the same duet. A madrigal from 1712, "Se in non lasci amore" was transformed into a duet-chorus pair for the end of the oratorio, "O Death, where is thy sting," and "But thanks be to God." In each instance, however, Handel does more than sim?ply provide new words to old tunes. There is considerable re-composition, and any frivolity that remains from the light-hearted secular models is more than compensated for by the new material Handel masterfully worked into each chorus.
Over-enthusiastic "Handelists" in the 19th century perpetuated all sorts of legends regard?ing the composition of Messiah. An often-repeated story relates how Handel's servant found him sobbing with emotion while writing the famous "Hallelujah Chorus," and the com?poser claiming, "I did think I did see all Heaven before me and the great God Himself." Supposedly Handel often left his meals untouched during this compositional period, in an apparent display of devotional fasting and monastic self-denial. Present-day historians more familiar with Handel's life and religious views tend to downplay these stories. It's been suggested that if Handel did indeed have visions of Heaven while he composed Messiah, then it was only in the same manner in which he visu?alized the Roman pantheon of gods while he composed his opera Semele. Handel's religious faith was sincere but tended to be practical rather than mystical.
Handel was also not a native English-speaker, and examples of awkward text-setting in Messiah demonstrate some idiosyncrasies in his English declamation. He set the word "were" as if it had two syllables, and "surely" with three syllables. In the bass aria, "The trumpet shall sound," Handel originally declaimed "incorruptible" with emphasis on the second and fourth sylla-
bles. While these can be corrected by the editor of the score or the singer in performance, sometimes Handel placed rhythmic accents on the wrong words entirely. Yet they are so familiar to us now that we don't hear them as unusual: "For unto us a Child is born," or "Come unto Him, ye that are heavy laden."
The first public performance of Messiah took place in Dublin, Ireland, on April 13, 1742. As this was to be a benefit performance for charity, the ladies were asked not to wear hoop dresses, and the men to leave their swords at home in order to accommodate more people in the hall. Messiah was an unqualified success in Dublin; Handel had worked for months preparing his chorus and orchestra and brought in some of the finest solo singers from England. The alto soloist in particular sang so affectingly that after one aria an audience member exclaimed from his chair, "Woman, for this, be all thy sins forgiven." But when Handel took Messiah to London the following season, it received a chilly reception. Even though King George II attended the first performance at Covent Garden Theatre (and, it is claimed, initiated the tradition of standing for the "Hallelujah Chorus"), London audiences found its contemplative texts lacking in drama and narrative action, and it closed after only three performances. Some clergy con?sidered the theatre in general a den of iniquity and certainly no place for a work on such a sacred topic (Handel couldn't win -when it was scheduled to be performed in Westminster Abbey, other members of the clergy declared it sacrilege for a public entertainment to take place in a consecrated church). And Jennens, the librettist, wasn't entirely pleased with what Handel had done to his texts. After initially voicing his thorough disappointment with the work, Jennens later declared Handel's composi?tion "a fine Entertainment, tho' not near so good as he might and ought to have done." It wasn't until 1750, when another performance for charity was staged at the Foundling Hospital in London, that English audiences took Messiah to their hearts, and yearly performances at the hospital from that time on established the last?ing popularity of both the work and its com-
poser. Upon Handel's death in 1759, he willed his score and parts for Messiah to the Foundling Hospital in a charitable gesture of gratitude.
The tradition of performing Messiah at Christmas began later in the 18th century. Although the work was occasionally performed during Advent in Dublin, the oratorio was usu?ally regarded in England as an entertainment for the penitential season of Lent, when per?formances of opera were banned. Messiah's extended musical focus on Christ's redeeming sacrifice also makes it particularly suitable for Passion Week and Holy Week, the periods when it was usually performed during Handel's life?time. But in 1791, the Caecilian Society of London began its annual Christmas perform?ances, and in 1818 the Handel and Haydn Society of Boston gave the work's first complete performance in the US on Christmas Day -establishing a tradition that continues to the present. The University Musical Society is a direct result of this tradition. In 1879, a group of local university and townspeople gathered together to study Handel's Messiah; this group assumed the name "The Choral Union" and, in 1880, the members of the Choral Union estab?lished the University Musical Society.
Following the pattern of Italian baroque opera, Messiah is divided into three parts. The first is concerned with prophecies of the Messiah's coming, drawing heavily from mes?sianic texts in the Book of Isaiah, and concludes with an account of the Christmas story that mixes both Old and New Testament sources. The second part deals with Christ's mission and sacrifice, culminating in the grand "Hallelujah Chorus." The final, shortest section is an extended hymn of thanksgiving, an expression of faith beginning with Job's statement "I know that my Redeemer liveth" and closing with the majestic chorus "Worthy is the Lamb" and a fugal "Amen." In its focus on Christ's sacrifice Messiah resembles the great Lutheran Passions of Schutz and Bach but with much less direct narrative and more meditative commentary on the redemptive nature of the Messiah's earthly mission. Handel scholar Robert Myers suggested
that "logically Handel's masterpiece should be called Redemption, for its author celebrates the idea of Redemption, rather than the personality of Christ."
For the believer and non-believer alike, Handel's Messiah is undoubtedly a majestic musical edifice. But while a truly popular favorite around the world, Messiah aspires to more than just a reputation as an enjoyable musical event. After an early performance of the work in London, Lord Kinnoul congratulat?ed Handel on the "noble entertainment" he had recently brought to the city. Handel is said to have replied, "My Lord, I should be sorry if I only entertained them; I wished to make them better." Certainly Messiah carries an ennobling message to people of all faiths and credos, pro?claiming "peace on earth, and goodwill towards men" -a message that continues to be timely and universal.

Born in Montreal,soprano Dominique Labelle first came to international prominence as Donna Anna in Peter Sellars' production of Don Giovanni, which she performed in New York, Paris, and Vienna. She has sung with the major US orchestras including Atlanta, Boston, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Houston, Los Angeles, Minnesota, New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco.
Outside of North America, Ms. Labelle's engagements have included the International Handel Festival Gottingen, the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, the BBC Proms, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, the Ensemble Orchestral de Paris, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, the English Concert, the Gabrieli Consort, the Bach Collegium of Japan, and the Melbourne Symphony.
Certainly one of today's finest interpreters of Handel, she is closely associated with his recently discovered Gloria. She presented the modern-day premiere of the Gloria at the International Handel Festival Gottingen with Nicholas McGegan conducting the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra.
Ms. Labelle's most recent opera roles include the title role in Lucia di Lammermoor (Seattle and Boston), Violetta in La Traviata
(Boston), and the title role in Handel's Rodelinda (Gottingen). A committed recitalist, she has appeared in solo recitals at New York's Weill Hall, Lincoln Center, the 92nd Street Y, The Vocal Arts Society in Washington, DC, and appearances in Boston,
Montreal, Moscow, Quebec, and London.
Ms. Labelle's many recordings appear on Virgin Veritas, Deutsche Harmonia Mundi, RCA Victor Red Seal, Koss, Denon, New World, and Musica Omnia labels. Her recording of Handel's Arminio won the 2002 Handel Prize. She is a National Winner of the Metropolitan
Dominique Labelle
Opera competition, and she is also the recipient of a George London Foundation Award and Boston University's Distinguished Alumni Award.
These performances mark Dominique Labelle's fourth and fifth appearances under UMS aus?pices. She made her UMS debut as soprano soloist in Handel's Messiah in December 1994.
Countertenor David Daniels has appeared with many of the major opera companies of the world and on its main concert stages, making history as the first countertenor to give a solo recital in the main auditorium of
Carnegie Hall. Mr. Daniels began the cur?rent 0304 season in the title role of Handel's Giulio Cesare at the Houston Grand Opera. His Metropolitan Opera and Covent Garden debuts were in the part of Sesto in the same work, and he has starred as the Roman
emperor with the San Francisco Opera and at the Palais Gamier in Paris.
As much at home on the recital platform as on the opera stage, Mr. Daniels has won admiration for his performances of an extensive recital repertoire, including song literature of the 19th and 20th centuries not usually associ?ated with his type of voice. Mr. Daniels has given recitals at London's Wigmore Hall, New York's Avery Fisher Hall, Alice Tully Hall, and Walter Reade Theater at Lincoln Center; at Munich's Prinzregententheater and Vienna's Konzerthaus; in Barcelona's Teatre del Liceu; at the Edinburgh and Ravinia Festivals; as well as in Ann Arbor, Chicago, Lisbon, Toronto, Vancouver, and Washington. His French debut was a sold-out recital at the Salle Gaveau in Paris.
Mr. Daniels began to sing as a boy sopra?no, moving to tenor as his voice matured, and he earned an undergraduate degree from the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. He made the daring switch to the countertenor
David Daniels
range during graduate studies at the University of Michigan with George Shirley.
Mr. Daniels is an exclusive Virgin Classics recording artist, with several critically acclaimed and best-selling solo albums to his credit. His recording of Handel's Rinaldo (title role) on the Decca label with Cecilia Bartoli received a Gramophone Editor's Choice "Album of the Year" award in 2002. Mr. Daniels has won other prestigious awards as well, including Musical America's "Vocalist of the Year" for 1999 and the Richard Tucker Foundation Award in 1997.
These performances mark David Daniels' eighth and ninth appearances under UMS auspices. He made his UMS debut as countertenor soloist in Handel's Messiah in December 1994. Mr. Daniels is a graduate of the University of Michigan School of Music.
Tenor Steven Tharp has appeared with most of the major US orchestras, including the Chicago Symphony (under Maestros Solti and Barenboim); the New York Philhar?monic (Masur); and the Cleveland Orchestra (von Dohnanyi); as well as the Royal and Hong Kong Philharmonics. His repertoire ranges from the great baroque and classical master?pieces to contemporary works.
Mr. Tharp received awards from the Metropolitan Opera National Council and San Francisco Opera auditions, and he has appeared with the Metropolitan Opera and other distin-
guished companies throughout the US, Canada, and in Europe. His operatic repertoire of over 40 roles includes the major tenor parts of Mozart and Handel. He per?formed in the American premiere of Partenope and the first modern revival of Scipione;
Nemorino in L'Elisir d'amore; Almaviva in barbiere di Siviglia; David in Wagner's Die Meistersinger, the Steersman in Der Fliegende
Steven Tharp
Hollander, and Lysander in Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Mr. Tharp presented The World of Schubert's Songs and The World ofHeinrich Heine, both multi-evening lieder series, at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. He performed at gala recitals celebrating Schubert's 2O0th birth?day at Weill Recital Hall and has appeared in recital at the Newport Chamber Music Festival, the Carmel Bach Festival, and Caramoor. He is a frequent guest artist with the New York Festival of Song, most recently in Ned Rorem's new full-evening song-cycle, Evidence of Things Not Seen. Steven Tharp sang with the Metropolitan Opera in 2002 in Prokofiev's War and Peace and returned in the fall for Giordano's Andrea Chenier.
These performances mark Steven Tharp's second and third appearances under UMS auspices. He made his UMS debut as tenor soloist in Bach's St. Matthew Passion in April 2000.
American bass-baritone Michael Dean is in demand worldwide in both operatic and concert repertoire. In Europe, he has performed lead roles with the Landestheater in Linz, the Komische Oper Berlin, and at the Opera du Rhin in Strasbourg. In the US, he has performed with the Dallas Opera, the Opera Company of Philadelphia, Western Opera Theater, and in Kansas City. At New York City Opera he was George in Of Mice and Men, Papageno in Die Zauberflote, Don Alvaro in Viaggio A Reims, and Captain Jason MacFarline in Lizzie Borden. Also in New York, he appeared in six new one-act operas under the auspices of EOS Music, Inc.
Mr. Dean is equally sought after for concert repertoire. He has recently performed with Houston, Columbus, New Jersey, and Alabama Symphonies. He made his New York Philharmonic debut with world premiere per?formances of Aaron Kernis' Garden of Light with Kurt Masur and returned for a concert 1 version of Street Scene conducted by Leonard I Slatkin.
Distinguished in the Baroque repertoire, Mr. Dean is a regular participant in the Gottingen Handel Festival where he has performed lead roles in Agrippina, Ottone, Radamisto, Giustino, Alcina, Tolomeo, and Esther, all conducted by
Nicholas McGegan. He made his Boston Baroque debut in Mozart's Der Schauspieldirektor (The Impresario) and Cimerosa's Maestro di Cappella.
A native of San Diego, California, Mr. Dean is an alumnus of Curtis Institute of Music and the Merola Opera Program of San Francisco Opera. He made his New York recital debut under the auspices of the Marilyn Home Foundation and appeared in Marilyn Home Foundation sponsored concerts on the West Coast. Michael Dean is married to soprano Maria Fortuna; they reside in New York State with their son, Marcello.

He has performed throughout the US, Russia, Western Europe, Japan, and Korea on harpsi?chord and historic organ. He appears frequently in ensemble settings as a continuist and concer?to soloist, and he conducts modern chamber orchestras in performances of Baroque and classical repertory. In the current 0304 season, he will be giving concerts throughout the Midwest, including Columbus, Ohio and Ann Arbor, Michigan, including collaborations with violinist Andrew Jennings presenting J. S. Bach's complete works for violin and harpsichord.
Michael Dean
Mr. Parmentier is also planning a concert trip to Japan in the spring of 2004.
Mr. Parmentier is a frequent lecturer and adjudicator at symposia and festivals. His annu?al summer harpsichord workshops at the University of Michigan

Founded 75 years ago by five musically inclined friends, the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra is now a fully pro?fessional-caliber orchestra that counts among its conductors Joseph Maddy (founder of Interlochen Music Camp), Carl St.Clair (Pacific Symphony Orchestra), Samuel Wong (Honolulu Symphony Orchestra), and now, Arie Lipsky.
At every opportunity Maestro Lipsky demonstrates his consummate skill as an artist, performer, and communicator. He has grown audiences by 15 annually, doubled the num?ber of Youth Concerts, started a family concert series, and began a five-concert senior citizen concert series.
Maestro Lipsky continues this distinguished and inspired music making by treating audiences to Beethoven, Mahler, Prokofiev, Mozart, Poulenc, Piazzolla, Brahms, Vivaldi, Foss, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Hindemith, and the con?cert-version of the opera Carmen. Each season adds the premiere of a new work by an emerg?ing U-M student composer. In the current 75th Anniversary Season, the A;SO recently premiered a work by nationally known composer Michael Daugherty that featured the A;SO and the Michigan Theater's mighty Barton Organ.
Recent soloists include a mix of world-class artists such as Katherine Larson, Arthur Greene, Gemini, Augustin Hadelich, Ilya Kaler, Julie Albers, Benny Kim, Christina Castelli, Jacques Israelievitch, Jaime Laredo, and Richard Stoltzman. Orchestral soloists include Eric Varner, David Kuehn, Stephen Shipps, and Willard Zirk.
A key component of the A:SO's mission is education and outreach, and the ensemble is deeply committed to demonstrating musical excellence both inside the concert hall and well beyond it. In-school educational programs and youth concerts reach over 23,000 area students each year. The A;SO is an official Partner for Excellence with the Ann Arbor Public Schools, and the organization continues to create stan?dard-setting youth concert curricula that teach students about music while reinforcing vital skills such as literacy, logic, and pattern recog?nition.
The community's commitment to preserving the A:SO's financial security is evident in the success of the ongoing Musician Chair Sponsorship Initiative, the number of VIP cor?porate honor roll businesses, and the support received from the MCACA. The A2SO's creative and original programming was also rewarded with two prestigious NEA grants in support of education programs.
The A2SO was the only arts nonprofit to win the 2002 Grain's Business Best-Managed Nonprofit Award and in May 2003 was awarded the Nonprofit Enterprise at Work's Excellence in Management Award.
The Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra has per?formed in the annual UMS presentations of Handel's Messiah since 1988. These performances mark the Orchestra's 43rd and 44th appearances under UMS auspices.

Announcing the
CARL AND ISABELLE BRAUER ENDOWMENT FUND
(J-[andel's Messiah is simultaneously the genesis and the future of the University Musical Society. The announcement of a gift from Carl and Isabelle Brauer recognizes and honors the origins of UMS and ensures its vitality for centuries to come. On the 125th anniversary of UMS's first presentation oMessiah, this presentation continues to be the most impor?tant ongoing community production in the UMS season, and now, it will continue to be preserved and treasured for many generations to come.
"Because Handel's Messiah portrays dramatically the miraculous birth, death, and resurrection
of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
we are especially honored and blessed that we
are able to make this magnificent production
continue in perpetuity."
Carl and Isabelle Brauer
Carl A. Brauer, Jr. and Isabelle M. Brauer

The Brauers have been generous contributors to UMS for more than 20 years, including sponsorship of the St. Matthew Passion in 2000 and of Handel's Messiah for the past four years, t Mr. and Mrs. Brauer met in church and were married in 1945. Mr. Brauer s father was the minister of St. Paul's Lutheran Church. The Brauers continue to be very active in their church.

UMS Delicious Experiences
Back by popular demand, friends of UMS are offering a unique donation by hosting a variety of dining events to raise funds for our nationally recognized educational programs. Thanks to the generosity of the hosts, all proceeds from these delightful dinners go to support these important activities. Treat yourself, give a gift of tickets, or come alone and meet new people! For more information or to receive a brochure, call 734.936.6837 or visit UMS online at www.ums.org.
UMSsupport
UMS volunteers are an integral part of the success of our organization. There are many areas in which volunteers can lend their expertise and enthusiasm. We would like to welcome you to the UMS family and involve you in our exciting programming and activities. We rely on volunteers for a vast array of activi?ties, including staffing the education residency activities, assisting in artist services and mailings, escorting students for our popular youth per?formances and a host of other projects. Call 734.936.6837 to request more information.
ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The 46-member UMS Advisory Committee serves an important role within UMS. From ushering for our popular Youth Performances to coordinating annual fundraising events, such as the Ford Honors Program gala and "Delicious Experiences" dinners, to marketing Bravo!, UMS's award-winning cookbook, the Committee brings vital volunteer assistance and financial support to our ever-expanding educational programs. If you would like to become involved with this dynamic group, please call 734.647.8009.
SPONSORSHIP & ADVERTISING Advertising
When you advertise in the UMS program book you gain season-long visibility among ticket-buyers while enabling an important tradition of providing audiences with the detailed program notes, artist biographies, and program descrip?tions that are so important to performance experience. Call 734.647.4020 to learn how your business can benefit from advertising in the UMS program book.
Sponsorship
As a UMS corporate sponsor, your organization comes to the attention of an educated, diverse and growing segment of not only Ann Arbor, but all of southeastern Michigan. You make possible one of our community's cultural treas?ures, and also receive numerous benefits from your investment. For example, UMS offers you a range of programs that, depending on your level of support, provide a unique venue for:
? Enhancing corporate image
? Cultivating clients
? Developing business-to-business relationships
? Targeting messages to specific demographic groups
? Making highly visible links with arts and education programs
? Recognizing employees
Showing appreciation for loyal customers
For more information, call 734.647.1176.
Internships & College Work-Study
Internships with UMS provide experience in performing arts administration, marketing, ticket sales, programming, production and arts education. Semesterand year-long unpaid internships are available in many of UMS's departments. For more information, please call 734.615.1444.
Students working for UMS as part of the College Work-Study program gain valuable experience in all facets of arts management including concert promotion and marketing, ticket sales, fundraising, arts education, arts programming and production. If you are a University of Michigan student who receives work-study financial aid and who is interested in working at UMS, please call 734.615.1444.
Ushers
Without the dedicated service of UMS's Usher Corps, our events would not run as smoothly as they do. Ushers serve the essential functions of assisting patrons with seating, distributing pro?gram books and providing that personal touch which sets UMS events above others. The UMS Usher Corps comprises over 300 individuals who volunteer their time to make your concert-going experience more pleasant and efficient. The all-volunteer group attends an orientation and training session each fall or winter. Ushers are responsible for working at every UMS performance in a specific venue for the entire concert season.
If you would like information about becoming a UMS volunteer usher, call the UMS usher hotline at 734.913.9696 or e-mail fohums@umich.edu.
