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.
We are delighted to welcome UMS back to Hill Auditorium in time to celebrate UMS's 125th Anniversary with several concerts and revelry on January 17,18, and 19. Some of the highlights of the weekend will include a festive gala dinner and concert 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 thoroughly enjoyed the results of our collaboration with UMS in Autumn 2003, which included some extraordinary per?formances. In 2004, a number of superb productions will result from the partner?ship between the University and UMS. Some of these include appearances by the Israel Philharmonic, the great pianist Alfred Brendel, and the celebrated saxo-
phonist Ornette Coleman, who will also provide a two-day residency to our stu?dents. The University is also working with UMS to provide exceptional educational programs to the campus: the legendary Merce Cunningham Dance Company will collaborate with our Department of Dance, and members of the Guthrie Theater will participate in over 20 events when they are in town to present their magnificent production of Othello. The remarkable Arab-American artist Simon Shaheen has been providing a splendid residency in Ann Arbor and Dearborn in conjunction with the Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services, culminating in a concert in the Michigan Theater on January 31. And on April 8, UMS and the School of Music collaborate to produce Professor William Bolcom's epic Songs of Innocence and of Experience. I want to thank the faculty and staff of the University of Michigan and UMS for their hard work and dedication in making our partnership a success. The University of Michigan is pleased to support the University Musical Society during this exhilarating 0304 season, and we share the goal of making our co-presentations aca?demic and cultural events that benefit the university community and the broadest possible constituency.
Sincerely,

FROM THE UMS PRESIDENT
Thank you for joining us for this perfor?mance 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 pro?grams during this milestone season. Check the complete listing of UMS's Winter 2004 events beginning on p. 27 and on our web-
site at www.ums.org.
The big news during this winter term is, of course, the re-opening of Hill Auditorium after its 20-month renovation and restoration. If you're read?ing this program book while you are in Hill Audi?torium, welcome back to this glorious 90-year-old venue. If you're at another venue, I hope you have been or will soon get to Hill. What the University of Michigan has done in this
phase of Hill's renovation is absolutely marvelous. As a patron, you'll find a much more welcoming and comfortable build?ing...and one whose infrastructure has been vastly updated and improved to see it through the 21st century. Take the elevator to the balcony, have a coffee in the Elizabeth E. Kennedy Lower Lobby, sit in one of the new and wider seats on the main floor, and look at the stunning new colors surrounding the stage and the ring of lights on the ceiling. These are totally new experiences for a patron attending a UMS concert. What remains to be done in the next phase of renovation is the con?struction of a backstage addition to Hill
Auditorium so that this world-renowned concert hall will be as welcoming and comfortable for our visiting artists as it is now for our patrons.
We are pleased that International Arts Manager, the major business magazine for the performing arts published in London, featured UMS as the cover story in its
DecemberJanuary issue (see photo). The article recognizes the prominent role UMS now plays on the international performing arts scene, the outstanding team of UMS department heads, and UMS's being the oldest university-related pre?senting organization in the US. Visit our website to read the article.
It's wonderful to have you with us for this perfor?mance. 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 this performance, please send me an e-mail message at kenfisch@umich.edu or call me at 734.647.1174.
Very best wishes,
Kenneth C. Fischer UMS President
LETTER FROM THE CHAIR
whe UMS 125th season continues with I the opening of a newly renovated Hill I Auditorium. What a pleasure it is to have our unique hall back with comfortable seats, air conditioning, and more restrooms!
Our fall season culminated with the Globe Theatre's production of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, the Boston Pops, and the
125th annual UMS pro?duction of Handel's Messiah -very different and equally engaging pro?ductions. The UMS staff deserves a standing ova?tion for their enormous hard work. This past
summer we had to reduce our staff by 20, further increasingly everyone's work?load. This is a truly dedicated staff that continuously does a superb job providing the best productions and educational events for the University and our community.
In December, UMS celebrated, if from afar, President Ken Fischer who received the Patrick Hayes Award in London. Named after the man who was founding president of the International Society for the Performing Arts (ISPA) in 1949 and served as Ken's mentor, the Patrick Hayes Award recognizes an ISPA member of long standing whose achievements in arts man?agement are deserving of the highest praise and recognition.
This winter season brings us the Children of Uganda, the Israel Philhar?monic, and virtuosic pianist Lang Lang, to name just a few events from the splendid artistic menu UMS has planned for us.
The season finale will be the Ford Honors Program on May 15 featuring Sweet Honey in the Rock (founder Bernice Johnson Reagon received an honorary degree from U-M in 2000). The perform?ance will coincide with the opening of the University Capital Campaign. UMS will be a prominent part of the campaign, and we look to our audience and friends to help us ensure the future of the organization. For those of us who have been able to sup?port UMS in the past, it is an honor to participate in providing such a rich cultur?al environment for the University, the community and southeastern Michigan. I invite all of you to join us in ensuring the growth and success of the University Musical Society.
Sincerely,
OUfi.

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 partic?ipation 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 Simmons Frieze and conducted by Professor Calvin Cady, the group assumed the name The Choral Union. Their first perform?ance of Handel's Messiah was in December of
1879, and this glorious oratorio has since been performed 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

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 90 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 per?formances 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 cho?rus has joined the DSO in Orchestra Hall and at Meadow Brook for subscription performanc?es 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' Ein deutsches Requiem,

and has recorded Tchaikovsky's The Snow Maiden with the orchestra for Chandos, Ltd.
Led by interim conductor Jerry Blackstone, the Choral Union opened its current season with performances of Verdi's Requiem with the DSO in September. In December the chorus presented 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 Song of Innocence and of Experience in the newly renovated Hill Auditorium in April 2004.
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. Choral Union's season concluded in March with a pair of mag?nificent French choral works: Honegger's King David, accompanied by members of the Greater Lansing Symphony Orchestra, and Durufl6's mystical Requiem, accompanied by international-class 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 com?posers of all historical periods; a joint appear?ance 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.

VENUES Hill Auditorium
After an 18-month $38.6-million dollar reno?vation, which began on May 13, 2002, over?seen by Albert Kahn Associates, Inc. and historic preservation architects Quinn EvansArchitects, Hill Auditorium has re-opened. Originally built in 1913, renovations have updated Hill's infra?structure and restored much of the interior to its original splendor. Exterior renovations include the reworking of brick paving and stone retaining wall areas, restoration of the south entrance plaza, the reworking of the west barri?er-free ramp and loading dock, and improve?ments to landscaping.
Interior renovations included the demolition of lower-level spaces to ready the area for future improvements, the creation of additional rest-rooms, the improvement of barrier-free circula?tion by providing elevators and an addition with ramps, the replacement of seating to increase patron comfort, introduction of barrier-free seating and stage access, the replacement of the?atrical performance and audio-visual systems, and the complete replacement of mechanical and electrical infrastructure systems for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.
Re-opened in January 2004, Hill Auditorium seats 3,538.
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. 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, UMS presented its first chamber music festival with the Musical Art Quartet of New York per?forming 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.
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.
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 construction on the campus facility in 1996. The Convocation Center opened its doors on December 9, 1998 with a seating capacity of 9,510 for center-stage entertainment events. UMS has presented special dance parties at the EMU Convocation Center nearly every April since 1998, and this year's popular concert fea?tures Orchestra Baobab on Saturday, April 17.
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 their familiar home at Burton Memorial Tower in August 2001, following a year of significant renovations to the University landmark.
This current season marks the third 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.

Variations on the name "Abegg" for Piano in F Major, Op. 1
Robert Schumann
Born June 8, 1810 in Zwickau, Germany
Died July 29, 1856 in Endenich, near Bonn
The first piece on tonight's program is the work of a 20-year-old, close in age to the pianist per?forming it tonight. At 20, Robert Schumann was a student in the famous university town of Heidelberg (though he would quit before the year was out), seriously preparing for a career as virtuoso pianist and composer in the mold of such musical luminaries of the day as Johann Nepomuk Hummel and Ignaz Moscheles. Later -as is well known -he had to abandon his dreams to be a concert pianist due to the weak?ness of one of his fingers, a condition made worse by misguided treatment. His very first works, however (and for many years Schumann composed nothing but solo piano music), were certainly intended as vehicles for his own use, and when he proudly published the present variations as Op. 1 in 1831, he had every reason to believe that he was well on his way.
Schumann's excellent biographer, the trag?ically deceased John Daverio, was certainly right when he wrote that the variations exuded "the rarified air of the musical salon." Schumann was intent on conquering those elegant private venues of music-making in which his exact contemporary, Frederic Chopin, was soon to excel. To achieve that end, he wrote a set of variations on a graceful waltz theme, embellish?ing it with the kind of virtuoso ornamentation that was "in" at the time. Yet it was no ordinary waltz theme, and the variations also show more than a little individuality. First, the theme: its notes (A B-flat E G G) come from the letters of the name Abegg, which belonged to a young countess Schumann was acquainted with. The most famous "musical name," BACH, was normally used -by Bach himself as well as others -as a subject for a learned fugue; Daverio saw "more than a little subversive play?fulness" in the way Schumann applied this tech?nique to something as mundane as a waltz. The "subversive playfulness" continues in
the course of the variations. The work contains fewer of them than one might expect. Normally, there would be anywhere between six and 12 variations in a set. Schumann has only five, including the customary slow piece in a penul?timate position and the more extended, free finale. More importantly, Schumann treated his theme with a great deal of freedom, all but ignoring the second half of the theme ("EGG") and working mostly with the first half ("AB"). That rising half-step (transposed to F-sharp -G) occurs in what is undoubtedly the most innovative moment in the piece, when -shortly before the end -the notes of a chord are released one at a time. The note G is left alone for a long moment, like a musical ques?tion, to which the final measures of the piece give an equally unusual answer. Instead of the loud and powerful ending one might expect in a virtuoso piece, the fast filigree work gets softer and softer until it fades out in triple pianissimo.
Piano Sonata in C Major, Hob. XVI:50
Franz Joseph Haydn
Born March 31, 1732 in Rohrau, Lower Austria
Died May 31, 1809 in Vienna
After the work of a promising beginner, we shall hear a mature masterpiece by a composer whose spirit in his 60s was more youthful than that of any artist half his age. Stimulated by the city of London that was then, as it is now, one of the great musical centers of the world, Haydn reached the summit of a lifetime of cre?ative work. His most significant achievements from this period include, next to a magnificent set of 12 symphonies, three piano sonatas writ?ten for Therese Jansen, a young German-born pianist who had studied with the famous Muzio Clementi and later enjoyed a successful career in England. Both the symphonies and the sonatas remained Haydn's last contributions to those genres.
The first of the three "London" sonatas, the C-Major work brims with innovative ideas, both in terms of musical construction and
pianistic technique. Its opening "Allegro" begins with a simple theme with only the sparsest of accompaniments, yet Haydn built an extraordi?narily varied movement with this unassuming raw material. He introduced the melody in many different guises, transposing it to different keys and registers. The most unusual of these is a moment when the theme appears in a distant tonality, in the bass region of the keyboard, with the mysterious instruction "open pedal" added. This is the only pedal instruction in all of Haydn's music, and its precise meaning has long been debated by scholars. According to H.C. Robbins Landon, the left pedal, the so-called una corda (which shifts the keyboard in such a way that the hammer strikes only one string per note instead of the usual three) was intended. Another great Haydn scholar, Laszlo Somfai, thinks that both pedals -the una corda and the damper -should be used simul?taneously. On pianos of Haydn's time, holding down the damper pedal did not blur the sound as strongly as is the case on modern instruments.
The second movement is a lavishly orna?mented, songful "Adagio," while the finale is one of the wittiest creations of this composer who had always been a master of musical humor. It is a scherzo whose melody is con?stantly "derailed" into unexpected new keys from where it can come back only after long moments of hesitation. Haydn took advantage of the fact that modern English keyboards had a range of a full six octaves, and near the end of this movement used a climactic high "A" that would have been impossible back home in Vienna.
Fantasy in C Major, D. 760
Franz Schubert
Born January 31, 1797 in
Himmelpfortgrund [Vienna] Died November 19, 1828 in Vienna
In many of his works, including the sonata we just heard, Haydn had already used the "monothematic" principle: he built the entire first movement -as mentioned above -from a single theme. Schubert took this principle much further in his epoch-making "Wanderer" fantasy: all four of the movements in this work (which are played without pause) are based on the same theme, Schubert's favorite dactylic pattern (long-short-short). The theme under?goes profound transformations, its character changing from resolute to dreamy; it turns into an energetic dance melody in the scherzo sec?tion, before erupting in a virtuosic fugato at the end. This revolutionary idea had a decisive influence on the evolution of music throughout the 19th century and beyond.
The theme itself comes from one of Schubert's songs, "Der Wanderer" written in 1816 to a text by the minor poet Georg Philipp Schmidt (known after his birthplace as Schmidt von Lubeck). Schmidt had managed to express one of the central feelings of Romanticism, the eternal longing for a distant place ("happiness is wherever you are not") -and Schubert's setting soon became one of his most popular works. A fragment from the song appears in the second section of the fantasy ("Adagio"), followed by a set of extremely virtuosic varia?tions. The variations are preceded by a section marked "Allegro con fuoco ma non troppo" (confuoco, "with fire," is the operative word). Both the energetic opening and the lyrical sec?ond idea are fashioned out of the fundamental rhythmic pattern underlying the entire work, though one tiny part of that pattern eventually splits off and takes on a life of its own. The transition to the variation movement is extremely suspenseful. Even more dramatic, however, is the next major shift: after the pianissimo ending of the variations, the Scherzo
bursts in without the slightest warning. The powerful "Presto" includes a gentler middle sec?tion, but eventually culminates in a frenzied passage filled with fiendish arpeggios (broken chords) that lead directly into the thunderous octaves of the final fugato.
Schubert did not have the disposition to write elaborate fugues in a learned style. It was a shortcoming he himself was aware of, and in the last weeks of his short life, he sought instruction in counterpoint from a teacher named Simon Sechter (who later became Bruckner's teacher). In the last section of the "Wanderer" Fantasy, Schubert quickly abandons counterpoint and crowns the work with a dis?play of virtuosity that surpasses everything heard before. This is by far the most technically demanding of all of Schubert's piano music; the composer, who was a competent piano player but no concert artist, never played this work. It was published the year after it was composed, but it took a Franz Liszt to establish it firmly in the repertoire. (In 1851, Liszt made a highly successful arrangement of the "Wanderer" Fantasy for piano and orchestra.)
Eight Memories in Watercolor, Op. 1
Tan Dun
Born August 18, 1957 in Simao, China
Tan Dun is one of the most successful com?posers working in the US today. In 1998, he won the prestigious Grawemeyer Award for his opera Marco Polo, and an Oscar for his film score Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
It has been an exceptionally long road for Tan to get to where he is now. The journey began in the village of Simao in the Chinese province of Hunan. Immersed in Chinese music from an early age, Tan was 19 before he heard any Western music. Like other members of his generation, he has made it his life's work to create music that would in some sense bridge the gap between two formerly distant worlds.
Tan has recently revisited the first steps he had taken toward this ambitious goal. As a young conservatory student in the late 1970s, Tan wrote a series of eight short piano pieces to which he gave the opus number 1 -always an event of extraordinary importance in the life of a composer. The "Chineseness" of these pieces is unmistakable; stylistically they range from simple arrangements to more complex attempts to combine a Chinese melodic idiom with 20th-century Western harmonies.
The score, published by G. Schirmer in January 2004, contains the following introduc?tory words from the composer:
Memory on Eight Memories
It was on a New Year's Eve that we met. New Year bells had just finished ringing when friends asked Lang Lang to play. It would be everyone's good fortune to hear together the first music of the New Year. Lang Lang humbly agreed, and played. Everyone was mesmerized by his perform?ance. I was actually speechless for a long while, but nobody knew why. I was very touched, and couldn't really believe my ears. Lang Lang had played "Floating Clouds," one of my first piano pieces written more
than 20 years ago (four years before his birth). Lang Lang's interpretation was as pure as water. It almost felt as though I had written this work for him, although he hadn't been born then. I heard the voice inside of me in his playing; I could smell the earth of my homeland. It is a real gift when a musi?cian can play a piece that inspires me to think about where I come from, where I am going. Lang Lang is a poet and has magical powers: he could tell an unending story. In his storytelling, I hear the voice of the human soul and the silence of nature. 1 do believe Lang Lang is one of the outstanding pianists of our time.
Eight Memories in Watercolor was written when I left Hunan to study at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing. It was my Opus One. The Cultural Revolution had just ended, China just opened its doors, I was immersed in studying Western classical and modern music, but I was also homesick. I longed for the folksongs and savored the memories of my childhood. Therefore, I wrote my first piano work as a diary of longing.
In 2001 Lang Lang told me he wanted to present the complete Eight Memories in Watercolor in his concert at Carnegie Hall, for which I am very grateful. I made slight revisions to the work, renaming titles, reordering the pieces, and modifying the overall structure, according to Lang Lang's suggestions.
Nocturne in D-flat Major, Op. 27, No. 2
Frederic Chopin
Born March 1, 1810 in Zelazowa Wola,
near Warsaw, Poland Died October 17, 1849 in Paris
Chopin's two nocturnes of Op. 27, among the most haunting of all, were dedicated to the Countess Apponyi, wife of the Austrian ambas?sador in Paris, in whose house the composer was a frequent guest. The second of the two ("Lento sostenuto") is one big, uninterrupted melody, consisting of two alternating musical phrases. The first of these phrases is in major and has only one melodic voice, while the sec?ond is in minor and has two voices, moving in parallel thirds. It is like an operatic aria alter?nating with a duet. The "aria," which appears three times, is played softly first and even softer the second time; at the last repeat, however, it appears in a triple fortissimo. Chopin introduces a new melodic idea just before the end; those sensuous chromatic shifts add a further element of magic to this magnificent piece.
Reminiscences of Don Juan (Don Giovanni), S. 418
Franz Liszt (themes by Wolfgang Amadeus
Mozart) Born October 22, 1811 in Doborjdn, Hungary
[now Raiding, Austria] Died July 31, 1886 in Bayreuth, Bavaria
Liszt, the quintessential Romantic virtuoso and later one of the founders of the so-called "New German" school of composition, had the great?est respect for the masters of the past. He often performed their works and expressed his own thoughts about them in countless transcrip?tions that range from relatively faithful arrange?ments to the most subjective paraphrases.
The fantasy after themes from Mozart's Don Giovanni is certainly one of Liszt's least faithful transcriptions, but the word "respect," used above, is still justified. Behind the breath?taking pyrotechnics lies a compelling picture of what a leading Romantic artist saw and heard in Mozart's opera. It is surely no accident that Liszt began with the somber words of the Statue in the cemetery: "You will stop laughing before dawn," and continues with the amazingly modern melodic line from the final scene: "Those who are nourished by heavenly food don't eat mortal food." The frightening image of the Stone Guest appearing at Don Giovanni's house was one that had grabbed the Romantic imagination in decisive ways. Seen in this light, even the famous duet where the Don seduces Zerlina (or almost does) takes on a more men?acing character -after all, this is the moment when we see Don Giovanni committing one of those sins for which he will be punished. Liszt's friend Chopin had earlier written a celebrated set of variations on this same duet, but Liszt's treatment is much more diabolical. Liszt care?fully preserved the dialog character of the duet by alternating between the "baritone" and "soprano" registers, but the dazzling cadenzas
he added emphasize the "superhuman" dimen?sion, if only by their sheer technical difficulty. Eventually, the variations are filled with dra?matic chromaticism, as if the Statue himself came to disrupt the tryst between Don Giovanni and Zerlina. This passage leads into the Don's great aria where he, rejoicing at the imminent festivities, sums up his own irre?sistible character better than anywhere in the opera. Liszt used this effervescent melody to take the piece to its climax, but, significantly, ended the work with another allusion to the Statue's stern words of doom.
Program notes by Peter Laki.
As the first Chinese pianist to be engaged by the Berlin Philharmonic and all the "Big Five" American orchestras, Lang Lang has estab?lished himself as one of the most exciting artists of our time. Born in 1982 in Shenyang, he began piano lessons at the age of three. At the age of five, he won the Shenyang Piano Competition and played his first public recital; four years later, he entered Beijing's Central Music Conservatory. In 1995, at only 13, he played the complete Chopin 24 Etudes at Beijing Concert Hall and won first prize at the Tchaikovsky International Young Musicians' Competition held in Japan, where he per?formed the Chopin Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Moscow Philharmonic. At 15, he enrolled at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia as a student of Gary Graffman.
An extraordinary breakthrough came in 1999, when at the age of 17, Lang Lang stepped in as a last-minute substitute for an indisposed Andre Watts at the Ravinia Festival, playing the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto. Since then he has presented a sold-out Carnegie Hall debut, trav?elled to Beijing with the Philadelphia Orchestra on its 100th anniversary commemorative tour, and made a wildly acclaimed BBC Proms debut, prompting The Times' critic to write: "Lang Lang took a sold-out Albert Hall by storm.... This could well be history in the mak?ing." In 2002, in recognition of his distin?guished musical talent, he became the first recipient of the Leonard Bernstein Award at the Schleswig-Holstein Festival.
The subject of a best-selling biography in China, Lang Lang takes a strong interest in the music of his homeland, and his recitals often feature Chinese traditional music, performed with his father, Guo-ren Lang. His Carnegie Hall recital in 2003 included Tan Dun's Eight Memories in Watercolor, which he premiered at the Kennedy Center earlier in the year.
Lang Lang records exclusively for Deutsche Grammophon; his first album, featuring the Tchaikovsky and Mendelssohn First Piano Concertos with the Chicago Symphony and Daniel Barenboim, was released in July 2003.
Lang Lang
Lang Lang's talent is matched by his ebullient personality, making him an ideal ambassador for classical music and a role model for young people. He has been the subject of profiles and interviews on CNN, the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Good Morning America, and People Magazine's "Best of 2003." Lang Lang is a Steinway artist and recently received the first-ever Gold Medallion on the occasion of the company's 150th anniversary.
Tonight's recital marks Lang Lang's UMS debut.

Lyon Opera Ballet, under the artistic direction of Yorgos Loukos, is pleased to present Tricodex, a multimedia dance choreographed by the imagina?tive Philippe Decoufle. Tricodex com?pletes a series of three works by Decoufle which he set on his own company, Compagnie DCA. Along with Codex (1987) and Decodex (1995), Tricodex was inspired by Codex Serafinius -the fanciful encyclopedia (nearly 400 pages) created by Italian artist and naturalist Luigi Serafini. First published in 1981 and subtitled "A Visual Encyclopedia of an Imaginary Universe," Serafani invented a codified world of mythical animals, imaginary plants, insects, mathematical equations, hairstyles, playing cards, flying machines, and labyrinths. Decoufle brings all this to life, blending the worlds of cir?cus, visual arts, and dance in a kind of graphics that he calls "ensemble mathematics."
The evening-length work features more than 25 dancers, 150 costumes, and spectacular video projections. Decoufle notes:
By chance while wandering in an ancient, dusty laboratory, I fell upon a strange scien?tific treatise. Leafing through the imposing work I stopped at the images, huge engrav?ings in old-fashioned colors, various type of microbes, crawling ferns, I followed a lesson in anatomy. I looked into a telescope, into a microscope, and through my glasses. I could not believe my eyes.
With Codex, Decoufle set out to create a "codex" from his own world. In the "drifting universe" he ultimately produced, writes critic and historian Valentina Sloop, "worlds lose their significance, bodies their scale...human beings are web-footed birds. Suspended between heaven and earth, they sing incompre?hensible and delicious ballads."
Artistic Director Yorgos Loukos was an architecture student at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris when he decided to take his first dance class. His teachers were Boris Kniasef and Raymond Franchetti. Only a year later, Roland Petit offered him his first dance position in Paris' Casino de Paris, where he stayed for two years. Mr. Loukos then joined Theatre du Silence in Paris and subsequently the Zurich Opera Ballet where he danced for one year. Returning to France, Mr. Loukos rejoined Petit's National Ballet of Marseilles as a dancer, and then as ballet master and assistant to Mr. Petit. In 1984, he joined the Lyon Opera Ballet as associate director and was later appointed co-director with Francoise Adret in 1988. Mr. Loukos became artistic director of the company in 1990 upon Mme. Adret's retirement.
In addition to his work with the Lyon Opera Ballet, Mr. Loukos has been Artistic Director of the International Dance Festival in Cannes since 1992. Mr. Loukos was Artistic Director of the 2001 France Moves festival in New York City and was named Chevalier in the National Order of Arts and Letters by the French Ministry of Culture in 1994.
ersatile French choreographer Philippe Decoufle is the artistic director of Compagnie DCA. The inventive Decoufle (who initially wanted to be a clown) merges dance, live video, film, music, and cartoons in his whimsical creations, which blur the boundaries between the virtual and the corporeal. The world witnessed his singular style during the opening ceremonies of the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, when his dancers, dressed as human snow-globes, performed a memorable, synchro?nized bungee-jumping routine. Decoufle's Shazam performed by Compagnie DCA was part of the France Moves festival in New York City in the Spring 2001 season. The New York Times has said of the choreographer, [Decoufle is] "a mixed media wizard."
Founded in 1969, Lyon Opera Ballet is known for its experimental and adventurous repertoire. Under the leadership of Yorgos Loukos, the com?pany has commissioned works from young choreographers and performed produc?tions of great classics, among them new ver?sions of Cinderella and Coppelia by Maguy Marin and a new interpretation of Romeo and Juliet by Angelin Preljocaj. The classically trained dance company also presents works by highly regarded American choreographers such as Trisha Brown, Lucinda Childs, John Jasperse, Bill T. Jones, Stephen Petronio, Ralph Lemon, and Susan Marshall. The company has contin?ued to tour worldwide since 1987 with ongoing success.
These performances mark the Lyon Opera Ballet's sixth, seventh, and eighth appearances under UMS auspices. The company made their UMS debut in October 1999.

Fantasia in c minor, K. 396 Sonata in B-flat Major, K. 281 Sonata in E-flat Major, K. 282
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Born January 27, 1756 in Salzburg, Austria
Died December 5, 1791 in Vienna
The "little" c-minor fantasy (so called to distin?guish it from a much longer work in the same key, K. 475) serves as a prelude in free style to the two sonatas that will follow it. It is only partly by Mozart -it was completed by the composer's friend Abbe Maximilian Stadler, composer, pianist, and priest, who was a color?ful personality on the Austrian music scene.
Mozart had left a fragment for what was intended to be a sonata for piano and violin in an improvisatory style reminiscent of C.P.E. Bach; the fragment included very little violin music as it broke off shortly after the piano introduction. For this reason, Stadler omitted the violin altogether and turned the work into a piano piece, giving it the title "Fantasy." He added a development section and a recapitula?tion (with a final modulation to C Major), in the vein of Mozart's fragment. It is in this form that the work was published in 1802 with a dedication to Mozart's widow Constanze.
The two sonatas show Mozart at an earlier stage in his career -in fact, they are from his first surviving set of sonatas for solo keyboard. Six such works were written at Munich in early 1775 when the 19-year-old Mozart was in the Bavarian capital to produce his opera Lafinta giardiniera (The Pretended Gardener). In the Sonata in B-flat Major (No. 3 in the set), com?mentators have detected Franz Joseph Haydn's influence, which is hardly surprising. More noteworthy is the way Mozart turns figuration into melody and fashions a thoroughly "mod?ern" (in 1775) development section complete with motivic transformation, brief visits to the minor mode, and even an (admittedly
Haydnesque) "false recapitulation." In the latter, the main melody returns at an unexpected time and in the "wrong" key.
The second movement, marked "Andante amoroso," is like an aria without words, but not without some dramatic deceptive cadences and effective forte-piano alternations. The last movement is a rondo of the advanced kind we would expect to find in Mozart's later sonatas and concertos. The type is fully formed here, with great melodic richness. There are cadenza-like passages and a central episode in the minor mode -hallmarks of Mozart's mature style. Abrupt yet completely natural, the ending of the sonata is particularly striking.
The Sonata in E-flat Major (No. 4) is unusual in that it opens with a slow movement. (Only one other sonata, the famous A-Major work with the Turkish march [K. 331 from 1783], does something similar.) The "Adagio" is eminently melodic and contains one of those irresistible closing ideas that no one but Mozart could write. Next comes a minuet, another unusual guest in a keyboard sonata (except, once more, K. 331); the trio (actually called "Menuetto II") is especially memorable with its dynamic melody. A fast and rather short finale with a dance-like, leaping theme closes the sonata.
Drei Klavierstiicke (Three Piano Pieces), D. 946
Franz Schubert
Born January 31, 1797 in
Himmelpfortgrund [Vienna] Died November 19, 1828 in Vienna
Schubert seems to have planned a third set of four pieces for piano after the two sets of impromptus completed in 1827. Only three new pieces were written, however, and these remained in manuscript until Johannes Brahms published them in 1868 -a full 40 years after the composer's death.
The eight impromptus display considerable formal variety: we find a sonata movement, a set of variations, and rondo-like designs among them, but they are all unified in tempo and meter. All three of the pieces of D. 946, on the other hand, contain episodes with new time signatures, and -at least in the first piece -a tempo change is also involved. This is an important difference that significantly increases the level of contrast among the various sections of these works. In the first piece, for instance, a hectic and passionate Allegro assai is followed by a lyrical and serene Andante. The original manuscript contains, after the return of the Allegro assai, a second episode, a gentle piece that, again, introduces a new tempo (Andantino). Schubert wrote out this last episode fully, only to cross it out afterwards. But Brahms included it in his edition, and it is always included in performances as well. The second piece moves the opposite way: from a gentle, barcarola-like Allegretto in 68 to two stormier interludes, the second of which changes the meter to duple. The third one jux?taposes two equally dissimilar characters: a syn?copated fast dance, in which musicologist-pianist William Kinderman detected a certain Bohemian flavor -and a static melody based on repeated chords, of "almost hypnotic immo?bility," according to Kinderman.
Each one of the contrasting sections is a well-rounded little "piece" in its own right, with internal repeats, formal divisions, and changes in keys and thematic materials. The main melody of the first piece, first introduced in the wildly Romantic key of e-flat minor (six flats!) is repeated, in a highly effective and very Schubertian manner, in the major mode. The second stormy episode in No. 2 includes its own lyrical island in the middle, complicating the overall form even more. And in a character?istic moment of No. 3, the syncopations go away and a considerably simpler folk melody takes over.
These pieces from the last year of Schubert's life contain many interesting innovations, leav?ing one to wonder in what further directions his genius might have taken him if his life hadn't been cut short at the age of 31.
Sonata No. 30 in E Major, Op. 109
Ludwig van Beethoven
Born December 15 or 16, 1770 in Bonn, Germany
Died March 26, 1827 in Vienna
Like the late string quartets, the late Beethoven piano sonatas are surrounded by their own mystique. In them, breaking a creative silence of several years, Beethoven changed his style a second time, and moved beyond his "heroic" middle period into a more private, more tran?scendent artistic world. The five great sonatas written between 1816 and 1822 stretch the form of the sonata in entirely unprecedented ways, and make demands on the performer that far exceed anything found in the earlier works. The number of movements in these sonatas, their order and character all depart from the traditions significantly -but even more important are the changes in spirit.
The E-Major sonata has only one clear break between movements, before the theme and variations. However, the preceding music is divided into two movements without pause, and the first of those movements is in itself two movements telescoped into one. It starts with a cheerful "Vivace ma non troppo" that recalls the finale of an earlier sonata (Op. 78 in F-sharp Major) in its bouncy and carefree gait. But this time, the fun is suddenly interrupted after only eight measures by a tragic Adagio espressivo, whose melody, in its turn, dissolves in cadenza-like figurations. The first tempo returns for a fuller elaboration of its theme, but once again, the Adagio espressivo bursts in to negate the happiness of the preceding section. Ultimately, the Vivace has the last word, but it includes a short passage with a progression of chords that is reminiscent of the Adagio.
This movement is followed without a break by a "Prestissimo" in e minor, which is a unique mixture of scherzo elements with sonata-alle?gro characteristics. There is a fierce first theme and a more lyrical second, but the direction of the harmonies is completely irregular. In lieu of a development section, we hear a short chordal passage that recalls the end of the previous
movement; then the main part of the "Prestissimo" is recapitulated.
The last movement of the sonata is a slow theme with six variations. Variation form became increasingly important for Beethoven in the last decade of his life, when he turned this traditionally simple design completely inside out, making it an utterly personal and unconventional form of expression. (He worked on his greatest composition in this form, the monumental "Diabelli" Variations, in the same period of his life, beginning it before the last three sonatas, and completing it after Op. 111.)
According to Beethoven's instruction, the theme has to be played gesangvoll, that is, "with a singing quality." The first variation empha?sizes this quality by an expanded range and more elaborate ornamentation. The second combines two different characters, one light and bouncy and the other serious and tender. The third is a virtuosic study in quick 16th-notes; the fourth reverts to a slower tempo. The fifth is a fugue, while the last variation brings about an "apotheosis" of the theme. The melody assumes an almost transcendent char?acter here, by virtue of a combination of quiet serenity, lavish ornamentation, and the long trills that had been a favorite Beethovenian device since, at least, the "Waldstein" sonata (Op. 53). The last gesture of the piece, however, is a very simple one as the theme is restated in its original calm and quiet form.
Program notes by Peter Laki.
Alfred Brendel is recognized by audi?ences the world over for his leg?endary ability to communicate the emotional and intellectual depths of whatever music he performs. A supreme master of his art, his accomplishments as an interpreter of the great composers have earned him a place among the world's most revered musicians. In the current season, Mr. Brendel's annual North American tour includes
io recitals in New York, Philadelphia, Boston,
Arbor, Washington, DC, Vancouver, and the new Disney Hall in Los Angeles; Schubert's Winterreise in Los Angeles with baritone Matthias Goerne; all-Beethoven concerts with his son, cellist Adrian Brendel; and Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 with the Los Angeles 'hilharmonic.
Mr. Brendel performs with virtually all lead-ng orchestras and conductors. He is an annual isitor to Carnegie Hall, where in 1983 he jecame the first pianist since the legendary rtur Schnabel to play all 32 Beethoven sonatas.
One of the most prolific recording artists of all time, Alfred Brendel has recorded exclusively for Philips Classics during the past 30 years. He is the first pianist to have recorded all of Beethoven's piano compositions and one of the few to have recorded the complete Mozart piano concertos. An extensive discography includes The Art of Alfred Brendel, a limited-edition collection of his large and varied reper?toire, and current recording projects include the complete Beethoven cello sonatas with Adrian Brendel, Schubert lieder with Matthias Goerne, and a fourth Mozart concerto disc with the
Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Charles Mackerras.
Mr. Brendel is well-versed in the fields of literature, language, architecture, and films, and augmented his 199798 North American tour with an evening of his thoughts and commen?taries on music, literature, and the visual arts at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. In addition to his latest books, Alfred Brendel on Music and Ausgerechnet Ich (Me of All People), Mr. Brendel has published two collections of articles, lectures, and essays. His several vol?umes of poetry include One Finger Too Many, published in the US by Random House, and he is the subject of the BBC documentary Alfred Brendel -Man and Mask.
Born in Austria to parents of no particular musical bent, Alfred Brendel spent his child?hood traveling throughout Yugoslavia and Austria. He discontinued formal piano studies soon after his recital debut at the age of 17, preferring to attend occasional master classes including those given by the revered pianist Edwin Fischer. To this day Mr. Brendel regards his untraditional musical background as some?thing of an advantage. Although Mr. Brendel's artistic interests as a young man did not focus on music alone, his winning the prestigious Busoni Piano Competition in Italy launched his career as a performing musician.
Alfred Brendel is the recipient of honorary doctorates from Oxford, London, Sussex, and Yale universities. In 1998 he was appointed an honorary Knight Commander of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II for "outstanding services to music in Britain," where he has made his home since 1972.
Tonight's recital marks Alfred Brendel's third appearance under UMS auspices. Mr. Brendel made his UMS debut in July 1966.

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 58-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.
