FROM THE U-M PRESIDENT
The University of Michigan joins the University Musical Society (UMS) in welcoming you to its 200405 season. We are proud of the wonderful partnership between our two organizations and of the role
of the University as co-sponsor of several educa?tional events connected to this season's calendar. These jointly sponsored events are wonderful opportunities for University of Michigan stu?dents and faculty to learn about the creative process and the sources of inspira-
tion that motivate artists and scholars.
We are delighted to be working with UMS again to help sponsor educational activities throughout the 200405 season. Some highlights of our fall educational co-presentations include some of the great artists UMS will present this season, such as Ravi Shankar, Paul Taylor Dance Company, and Akira Kasai, along with remark?able productions of Forbidden Christmas or The Doctor and The Patient with Mikhail Baryshnikov, and Complicite's The Elephant Vanishes, which has received extraordinary reviews at Lincoln Center.
Last year, we were honored to welcome UMS back to Hill Auditorium for their 125th anniversary season. Seeing the magnificent Hill Auditorium for the first time was an amazing experience. Watching the national coverage of the re-opening of Hill and hearing hundreds of stories about its astonishing artistic legacy and
rich history with UMS made me appreciate all the more how important both the University and UMS has become in the cultural life of our country. We have another great example of the marvelous opportunities our University and UMS can provide to our community in the production of The Elephant Vanishes in October this production will only be seen in New York, Paris, London, and Ann Arbor!
This year, we have also launched our ambi?tious capital campaign for the future of the University of Michigan, titled The Michigan Difference. One of the areas we have highlight?ed for support is the arts. We provide experi?ences, both in the classroom and throughout our museums and theaters, to stimulate creativ?ity, engage tomorrow's performers and artisans, and showcase the world from diverse points of view. I hope you will join me and many others in moving our University to even greater levels of excellence and aspiration.
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 UMS during this exhilarating 200405 season, and we share the goal of mak?ing our co-presentations academic and cultural events that benefit the university community and the broadest possible constituency.
Mary Sue Coleman
President, University of Michigan
FROM THE UMS PRESIDENT
Thank you for attending this UMS per?formance. We hope we'll see you at other UMS events throughout our 126th season. For a list of performances, visit page 27 in this program book or check out our website at www.ums.org.
UMS is able to bring you world-class per?formances because we have a lot of help from our partners. There are the artists' managers around the world -the people artists and ensembles retain to manage their careers -with whom we negotiate the terms of the artists' engagements on the UMS season. Then there are our venue partners, the institutions that own the places we rent for our performances, includ?ing the University of Michigan, Eastern Michigan University, Michigan Theater, and St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church. Other arts organizations, some across the globe, collabo?rate with UMS to present performances, com?mission new work, and create new productions. The men and women of the Local 395 of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) do an outstanding job unloading the trucks, constructing the sets, set?ting the stage, and doing everything else neces?sary to assure a smooth production before, during, and after a given performance. Our media partners help us spread the word about our events, and our corporate, foundation, and government partners contribute the additional financial support we need to balance the budget.
Our most important partner, however, is you. Without your attendance at our events we would have no reason to bring the artists to our community, and without the additional finan?cial support many of you provide through your UMS membership, we wouldn't be able to afford them. Thank you for all of your support.
There are a variety of other partners with whom we serve young people throughout the region, enrich our performances with educa?tional programming, deepen our links to the community, promote our events, develop new audiences, and inform and enlighten our staff. These include area public and private K-12 schools; colleges, institutes, and centers at the University of Michigan; other area colleges and universities; and community organizations like Neutral Zone, The Links, Inc., and ACCESS.
A special word about ACCESS, the Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services. UMS began a relationship in the late
(l-r) Ken Fischer. Congressman John Dingell, and ACCESS Executive Director Ismael Ahmed.
1990s with ACCESS, an award-winning Dearborn-based community organization that serves the region's large Arab American com?munity. After getting to know one another and developing a relationship of trust and respect, UMS and ACCESS wrote a proposal in June 2001 for funds to plan and carry out a three-week residency featuring Palestinian-American composer and musician Simon Shaheen. It would include performances, visits to the schools, workshops on Arabic music for area musicians, artists' interviews, and educational sessions. The project would also include ACCESS providing Arab immersion experiences for UMS staff and UMS providing production workshops for ACCESS staff. When 911 occurred, we agreed that the project was more important than ever since its objectives also included our respective audiences gaining a greater understanding and appreciation of the diverse cultures of the Arab world. The project took place in December and January of last season, culminating in a January 31 concert at the Michigan Theater by Simon Shaheen, his group Qantara, and leading Arab musicians from southeastern Michigan, that included the world premiere of Shaheen's Arboresque. The successful project led to our planning this sea-
son's Arab World Music Festival, which is co-presented by ACCESS and UMS and supported by a distinguished Honorary Committee and by foundation grants and corporate sponsorships. For UMS, ACCESS has become an exemplary partner as we've sought to build our relation?ship based on the principles of communication, cooperation, vulnerability, and reciprocity.
It's wonderful to have you with us for this performance. I hope that we'll see you at some of the Arab World Music Festival concerts and other UMS performances throughout the season. 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

SDUUDSf
Through a commitment to Presenta?tion, Education, and the Creation of new work, the University Musical Society (UMS) serves Michigan audiences by bringing to our com?munity 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 community has placed UMS in a league of internationally recognized performing arts presenters. Today, the UMS seasonal program is a reflection of a thoughtful respect for this rich and varied history, bal?anced by a commitment to dynamic and cre?ative visions of where the performing arts will take us in this new millennium. Every day UMS seeks to cultivate, nurture, and stimulate public interest and participation in every facet of the live arts.
UMS grew from a group of local university and townspeople who gathered together for the study of Handel's Messiah. Led by Professor Henry 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 mem?bers also belonged to the University, the University Musical Society was established in December 1880. UMS included the Choral Union and University Orchestra, and through-
out the year presented a series of concerts fea?turing 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-
Every day UMS seeks to cultivate, nurture, and stimulate public interest and participation in every facet of the live arts.
missioning of new works, youth programs, artist residencies, and other collaborative proj?ects, UMS has maintained its reputation for quality, artistic distinction and innovation. UMS now hosts over 70 performances and more than 150 educational events each season. UMS has flourished with the support of a gen?erous community that this year gathers in six different Ann Arbor venues.
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 sub?scription 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 199697 season, the Choral Union again expanded its scope to include performances with the Grand Rapids Symphony, joining with them in a rare presen?tation of Mahler's Symphony No. 8 (Symphony of a Thousand).
Led by newly appointed Conductor and Music Director Jerry Blackstone, the 200405 season includes a return engagement with the DSO (Orff's Carmina Burana, to be presented
in Orchestra Hall in Detroit in September), Handel's Messiah with the Ann Arbor Symphony (returning to Hill Auditorium this December), and Haydn's Creation (with the Ann Arbor Symphony in Hill Auditorium in April 2005).
The culmination and highlight of the Choral Union's 200304 season was a rare per?formance and recording of William Bolcom's Songs of Innocence and of Experience in Hill Auditorium in April 2004 under the baton of Leonard Slatkin. Naxos plans to release a three-disc set of this recording this October, featuring the Choral Union and U-M School of Music ensembles. Other noted performances included Verdi's Requiem with the DSO and the Choral Union's 125th series of annual performances of Handel's Messiah in December.
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.

VENUES 8 BURTON MEMORIAL TOWER
Hill Auditorium
Rfter an 18-month $38.6-million dollar renovation overseen by Albert Kahn Associates, Inc. and historic preservation archi?tects Quinn EvansArchitects, Hill Auditorium has re-opened. Originally built in 1913, reno?vations have updated Hill's infrastructure 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 barrier-free ramp and loading dock, and improvements 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 3,575.
Power Center
The Power Center for the Performing Arts grew out of 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 was 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 "a new theater" was men?tioned. The Powers were immediately interest?ed, realizing that state and federal governments
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 achieved the seem?ingly contradictory combination of providing a soaring interior space with a unique level of intimacy. Architectural features included 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 presently features two hand-woven tapestries: Modern Tapestry by Roy Lichtenstein and Volutes (Arabesque) by Pablo Picasso.
The Power Center seats approximately 1,400 people.
Arbor Springs Water Company is generously providing complimentary mter to UMS artists backstage a! the Power Center throughout the 0405 season.
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 strong?ly in the importance of the study of human his?tory 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 ambitious 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 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.
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
Notwithstanding an isolated effort to estab?lish a chamber music series by faculty and students in 1938, UMS recently began present?ing artists in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre in 1993, when Eartha Kitt and Barbara Cook graced the stage of the intimate 658-seat theater as part of the 100th May Festival's Cabaret Ball. This season the superlative Mendelssohn Theatre hosts UMS's return of the Song Recital series and continues to serve as the venue of choice for select chamber jazz performances.
Michigan Theater
The historic Michigan Theater opened January 5, 1928 at the peak of the vaude?villemovie palace era. Designed by Maurice Finkel, the 1,710-seat theater cost around $600,000 when it was first built. As was the custom of the day, the theater was equipped to host both film and live stage events, with a full-size stage, dressing rooms, an orchestra pit, and the Barton Theater Organ. At its opening, the theater was acclaimed as the best of its kind in the country. Since 1979, the theater has been operated by the not-for-profit Michigan Theater Foundation. 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 addi?tion, which also included expanded restroom facilities 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 dedicat?ed 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 dedi?cation, 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 contem?plation of sacred a cappella choral music and early music ensembles.
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 fourth year of the merger of the UMS Ticket Office and the University Productions Ticket Office. Due to this 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 N. University Avenue. The UMS Ticket Office phone number and mailing address remains the same.

Fall marks the beginning of the con?cert season, and I'm pleased that UMS can open its 126th season with three offerings that represent the very top of their respective genres -Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra in jazz, Ravi Shankar in global music, and Emerson String Quartet in chamber music. Thank you for help?ing us get the season off to a great start by attending this event.
Fall also means the Michigan football season with its traditions, pageantry, and hopes for a Big Ten championship and more. Michigan football is celebrating its 125th anniversary this football season. Its first year was 1879, the same year that the University Musical Society began. There are some interesting features beyond their age that these two programs have in common. They each had legendary leaders who put the University of Michigan on the national map in their respective fields -coach Fielding Yost delivered national championships for the football team, and, in 1919, UMS President Charles Sink delivered to Ann Arbor the most famous singer in the world, tenor Enrico Caruso, and engaged the Philadelphia Orchestra for 49 consecutive May
Festivals beginning in 1936. Each also had a unique vision for the venue that they would become most identified with--Yost conceived of a stadium that would eventually seat over 100,000, and Sink envisioned a concert hall nearly 2,000 seats larger than Carnegie Hall. Michigan Stadium and Hill Auditorium have achieved iconic status and have been key factors in enabling Michigan's football and music pres?entation programs to be among the best in the nation. UMS wishes Coach Carr and his team great success in their milestone season.
As we prepared to launch the season, UMS learned of the death of popular stagehand J. Mazure, who served UMS and other area arts organizations for 20 years as a member of Local 395 of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. We send our condolences to J.'s family and to his IATSE brothers and sisters. We will miss him.
Enjoy this performance, and may you, too, have a successful fall season.

The Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra (LCJO), composed of 15 of the finest jazz soloists and ensemble players today, has been the JALC resident orchestra for over 10 years. JALC features the remarkably versatile LCJO in nearly all aspects of its programming: the LCJO performs and leads educational events in New York, across the US and around the globe; in concert halls, dance venues, jazz clubs, public parks, river boats, and churches; and with sym?phony orchestras, ballet troupes, local students, and an ever-expanding roster of guest artists.
Education is a major part of JALC's mission and its educational activities are coordinated with concert and LCJO tour programming. These programs, many of which feature LCJO members, include the celebrated Jazz for Young People? family concert series, the Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band Competition & Festival, the Jazz for Young People?
Curriculum, educational residencies, work?shops, and concerts for students and adults worldwide. JALC educational programs com?prise two-thirds of its overall programming, and annually reach over 110,000 students, teachers, and general audience members.

The LCJO has also been featured in several education and performance residencies in the last few years, including ones in Vienne, France; Perugia, Italy; Prague, Czech Republic; London, England; and Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Television broadcasts of JALC programs have helped broaden the awareness of its unique efforts in the music. Concerts by the LCJO have aired around the globe. JALC has appeared on six Live From Lincoln Center broadcasts, carried by PBS stations nationwide, most recently in December 2001 with the New York Philharmonic. The LCJO was also featured in a ThirteenWNET production of "Great Performances," entitled Swingiri with Duke: Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, which aired on PBS. In September 2002, BET Jazz premiered a weekly series called Journey with Jazz at Lincoln Center, featuring
performances by the LCJO around the world.

Legendary virtuoso sitarist, composer, teacher, and writer, Ravi Shankar is India's most esteemed musical Ambassador and a singular phenomenon in the classical music worlds of East and West. The youngest son of a Bengali family, he was born in 1920 in Varansi (Benares), the holi?est of Indian cities. At the age of 10 he accom?panied his elder brother, Uday Shankar, with his company of dancers and musicians to Paris where he attended school. He spent several years in the West absorbing different kinds of music but returned to India in 1938 to begin his career. As word of his virtuosity spread throughout India, then Europe, Asia, and the US, Mr. Shankar embarked on one of the most extraordinary careers in the history of contem?porary music.
Ravi Shankar is a prolific composer. In addition to composing numerous traditional ragas and talas, he has written many works involving western collaborations including two concertos for sitar and orchestra, duets for the distinguished violinist Yehudi Menuhin and himself, and chamber music for Jean-Pierre Rampal. Mr. Shankar has also collaborated with Philip Glass, first on the album Passages and most recently on the multi-artist work, Orion, which opened the 2004 Cultural Olympiad in Greece. He has composed extensively for ballets and films including Satyajit Ray's Apu trilogy, and Gandhi, the Academy Award-winning clas?sic by Sir Richard Attenborough that won him nominations for both an Oscar and a Grammy Award.
Ravi Shankar is the recipient of many awards and honors. In 1999 the government of India honored Ravi Shankar by awarding him its highest civilian award, the Bharat Ratna, or Jewel of India. In 2000, Mr. Shankar received France's highest civilian award, the Commandeur de la Legion d'Honneur. In March 2001, the British High Commissioner and Lady Young awarded Ravi Shankar the Honorary Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.
Ravi Shankar's discography of more than 60 albums continues to grow. In 1996 Angel records released In Celebration, a four-CD retrospective of his greatest recordings, in honor of his 75th birthday. In 2001 Angel released Full Circle, Carnegie Hall 2000, Mr. Shankar's first live con?cert recording in nearly two decades. AngelEMI is also continuing to release many of Mr. Shankar's albums previously unavailable on CD.
He continues to tour each season all over the world dividing his time between India and the US with regular visits to Europe and the Far East. He is the author of three books--My Music, My Life (English), RagAnurag (Bengali) and Raga Mala (English)--the latest of which is an autobiography that was released in 1999.
This evening's performance marks Ravi Shankar's third appearance under UMS auspices. Mr. Shankar made his UMS debut in April 1996 in Rackham Auditorium.
Born in to a family of music connoisseurs, Tanmoy Bose was exposed to the subtle nuances of music and rhythm since childhood. Though he received vocal training from Shri Maharaj Banarjee and learned harmonium from the late Montu Banarjee, the charm of the rhythm attracted Tanmoy towards the tabla.
A disciple of the late Kanai Dutta and Pandit Shankar Ghosh, Tanmoy has developed a balanced technique that does not restrain itself to any one particular Gharana or school. Tanmoy has carved a niche for himself among the younger generation of top-ranking musi?cians of the country and formed his own Indo-Latin band, Taaltantra. A sought-after tabla player both as a soloist and an accompanist, he has participated in numerous prestigious musi?cal events in India and abroad winning acco?lades wherever he performed and has been per?forming regularly with Ravi and Anoushka Shankar for a number of years.
77jis evening's performance marks Tanmoy Bose's second appearance under UMS auspices.
Parimal Sadaphal began playing the sitar at the age of seven and initially trained under Shri Balwant Rai Verma and Shri Uma Shankar Mishra, both senior disciples of Ravi Shankar. At the age of eight, he won the "Best Instrumentalist" award among all age groups in the Sangeetayan Competetion and at the age of 12, he received the National Cultural Talent Scholarship of the Government of India. When he was 10 he played several concerts for the Bangladesh Relief Fund in 1971. Until the age of 18, Parimal Sadaphal was a regular per?former on All India Radio (Yuva Vani).
Parimal Sadaphal has trained under Ravi Shankar since 1985. Major performances included the Festival of India at Moscow in 1988 where he was a member of Ravi Shankar's troupe. This performance, with the Russian Philharmonic and Folk Orchestras, has been released as a CD. Other performances with Ravi Shankar's ensemble include numerous concerts in Delhi and Mumbai and a solo performance of Ravi Shankar in Bhabha Auditorium in Mumbai, Bhavnagar and Guild Hall in London.
Parimal Sadaphal has a Master's degree in Agricultural Engineering and is recognized as a development professional associated with the fields of renewable energy and rural develop?ment.
This evenings performance marks Parimal Sadaphal's VMS debut.

Incandescent
Joan Tower
Born September 6,1938 in New Rochelle, New York
The word "incandescent" is not one that I would usually include in a title because it seems to be more poetic than what I am thinking about. My titles are usually more upfront and visceral, and in this case I would have preferred to call it "White Heat," but was outvoted by friends who found that title carried too many associations. (Titles are not easy for composers --especially for me.)
What I try to do in my music, and particu?larly in this piece, is to create a heat from with?in, so that what unfolds is not only motivated by the architecture of the piece (which I consid?er the most important goal), but also that each idea or phrase contains a strong "radiance" of texture and feeling about it. In other words, the complete "action" of rhythm, texture, dynamic, harmony, and register has a strong enough pro?file that it creates an identity with a "tempera?ture," one felt rather than observed.
In Incandescent, my third string quartet, basically five actions or ideas unfold, develop, interact, and gradually change their "tempera?tures." They are a three-note collection that ini?tially appears as an upper and lower neighbor to a central note at the very opening of the piece and that later tums around on itself repeatedly in the first violin; a repetitive, dense, held-in-place, and narrowly registered disso?nant chord; a consonant arpeggiation that creases a "melody" distributed throughout the instruments; a climbing motive that initially outlines an octatonic scale (whole steps alter?nating with half steps) and later shifts into both whole-tone and chromatic scales; and, finally, wide leaps that first appear in the first violin and are subsequently picked up by the viola. The extended 16th-note passages that occur throughout, finally arriving at a virtuosic, Vivaldi-like cello solo, include all these motives in different guises and temperatures.
Incandescent, which is in one movement and lasts about 18 minutes, was a joint commission
between the South Mountain Concerts and Bard College for the Emerson String Quartet, to whom it is dedicated with admiration and affection.

Quartet No. 2 in A Major. Op. 68
Dmitri Shostakovich
Bom September 25, 1906 in St. Petersburg
Died August 9, 1975 in Moscow
Dmitri Shostakovich wrote 15 symphonies and 15 string quartets. This numerical balance is, however, somewhat misleading, for it was not until after Symphony No. 5 that String Quartet No. 1 appeared. Moreover, later on in his career there was an important shift of emphasis on the part of the composer. After Symphony No. 10 (1953), Shostakovich wrote five more sym?phonies: two are based on objective programs, two use verbal texts; only one (Symphony No. 15) reveals in purely instrumental terms the kind of personal-dramatic content associated with the earlier symphonies. During the same period, Shostakovich composed at least four of his six concertos and 10 of his 15 string quar?tets; and although his last symphony came in 1971, the remaining four years of his life yield?ed a further two string quartets. This shift in emphasis would have been striking even if the works themselves had not been so deeply felt or imaginatively searching. As it is, one can only conclude that the intimate nature of his concer?to and quartet writing has a close bearing on the character and quality of Shostakovich's later music in general.
Shostakovich wrote his String Quartet No. 1 in 1938. Where that work is witty and relaxed, String Quartet No. 2 (1944) an altogether big?ger piece is dogged and intense. The extensive opening movement, "Overture," is constructed from terse ideas with the composer obviously enjoying the possibilities of motivic interaction and combination; closely composed, it demands close listening, and such is its staying
power that not until the very end is the princi?ple subject formally recapitulated.
This is followed by a heartfelt romance, framed by lengthy declamatory passages (molto espressivo) marked "Recitative" in a formal experiment that Shostakovich never repeated. The following scherzo is a "diabolical" waltz, haunted, as if from a distance, by the "dance of death" imagery found in so many of his war?time and post war compositions. Here the instruments are muted throughout, but the dynamics rise to fortissimo and the climax is strenuous.
The finale is a continuous set of variations in a minor, introduced by a short adagio derived from the theme, which is then stated by each instrument in turn, beginning with the viola. The variations are both imaginative and instrumentally brilliant, with a good deal of emphasis on reiterated figures and a progressive quickening of the tempo. At last there is a return to the adagio introduction, and the movement ends with a broad declamatory ver?sion of the beginning of the theme.
Program note by Hugh Ottaway.
Quartet in c-sharp minor, Op. 131
Ludwig van Beethoven
Born December 15 or 16, 1770 in Bonn, Germany
Died March 26, 1827 in Vienna
Beethoven once confided to friend Karl Holz that, while each of his 16 quartets was unique, "each in its way," his favorite was the c-sharp minor, Op. 131. When Schubert heard the piece, Holz reported that "he fell into such a state of excitement and enthusiasm that we were all frightened for him." Down to our own day many people, musicians as well as listeners, consider it the greatest quartet ever written.
Lasting close to 40 minutes, the quartet is divided into seven sections that are played without pause, creating a completely organic, well-integrated whole. The burden for project?ing this underlying unity rests with the per-
formers, who must maintain the proper rela?tionships of tempo and mood for the work to flow smoothly from beginning to end.
Beethoven began to work on Op. 131 late in 1825, after he had completed the three-quartet commission (Opp. 127, 130, 132) for Prince Galitzin, and presented it to the publisher on July 12 of the next year. Beethoven's flippant note on the score-"Put together from pilfer-ings from this and that"--caused the publisher great concern, and the composer had to assure the publisher that the music was completely original, and his remark was only a joke. The quartet was dedicated to Baron Joseph von Stutterheim, Field Marshal, in gratitude for accepting Beethoven's nephew Karl into the baron's regiment. Scholars believe that the first hearing was at a private concert in Vienna in December 1826, but that the initial public per?formance did not take place until 1835, long after Beethoven's death.
The very slow introductory "Adagio," which Richard Wagner said "reveals the most melan?choly sentiment in music," is basically a fugue, with four episodes and a coda, all based on the sober melody originally stated by the first vio?lin. More than sorrowful or pitying, the music is contemplative and serene, surmounting per?sonal despair and sadness. The section ends with a quiet rising C-sharp octave leap, which finds an echo in the ascending D octave leap that opens the second section.
The fast second movement sails forth, cheery and open-faced, with none of the pro?fundity or expressivity of the first movement. Even the thematic material contributes no striking contrasts to create dramatic tension; the same kind of warm, good spirits prevail throughout.
The short movement that follows, only 11 -measures long, is in effect a recitative, a rhyth?mically free introduction to the "Andante" that follows without pause.
The fourth movement is an expansive theme and variations that provides the pivotal central focus of the entire quartet. The syncopated theme, which Wagner called the "incarnation of
innocence," is shared by the two violins. Beethoven then puts the melody through a series of six variations in which it is completely shaped and fashioned to reveal fully all of its expressive potential.
The "Presto" corresponds to the Classical scherzo movement, playful and humorous in spirit. The lightness of character, though, dis?guises a score that is treacherously difficult for the musicians. It requires great delicacy of touch and split-second reaction times to inter?weave the four parts and achieve the smooth flow that is necessary. After the abrupt four-note growl by the cello that opens the move?ment, the first violin picks up the dance-like tune. Passages of smooth legato articulation interrupt statements of the bright, bouncy main theme. Beethoven directed that the final return of the opening tune be played ponticello (bowed near the bridge), producing a glassy, whistle-like sound. The whirlwind motion continues until two sets of chords effectively end the movement.
The short, introspective "Adagio," only 28-measures long, provides a transition between the gay flight of the preceding "Presto" and the rhythmic excitement of the finale. Based on a mournful, meditative melody, which is first played by the viola, the "Adagio" moves directly to the last section.
Two bold, angry unison phrases precede the martial main theme with its dotted (long-short) rhythm, which recalls the last movement of Beethoven's e-minor quartet, Op. 59, No. 2. Forcefully, and with great thrust, the melody builds up momentum until a quiet contrasting melody, obviously derived from the melody of the opening fugue, intercedes. The second theme, a long descending line that slows down as it jumps to three high notes at the end, is heard before a shortened development, recapit?ulation, and full-length coda. In summarizing this movement, Richard Wagner wrote: "This is the fury of the world's dance fierce pleasure, agony, ecstasy of love, joy, anger, passion, and suffering; lightning flashes and thunder rolls; and above the tumult the indomitable fiddler
whirls us on to the abyss. Amid the clamor he smiles, for to him it is nothing but a mocking fantasy; at the end, the darkness beckons him away, and his task is done."
Program note by Melvin Berger from Guide to Chamber Music, published by Doubleday Anchor.
Acclaimed for its insightful performances, brilliant artistry, and technical mastery, the Emerson String Quartet is one of the world's foremost chamber ensem?bles, and has amassed an impressive list of achievements: a brilliant series of record?ings exclusively documented by Deutsche Grammophon since 1987, six Grammy Awards including two unprecedented honors for "Best Classical Album," and performances of the complete cycles of Beethoven, Bartok, and Shostakovich quartets in major concert halls throughout the world. The ensemble is lauded globally as a string quartet that approaches both classical and contemporary repertoire with equal mastery and enthusiasm.
In the current season, the Quartet presents a four-concert series in Carnegie Hall's Zankel Hall entitled A Vision of Mendelssohn. The series explores the complete Mendelssohn quar?tets, juxtaposed with works by Bach, Beethoven, Schumann, and Schubert. The Mendelssohn cycle will also be presented in London at the South Bank Festival in March 2005. Deutsche Grammophon supports these series with a release of the complete Mendelssohn quartets in February 2005. The recording also includes a performance of Mendelssohn's famous Octet, in which the Emerson is featured playing all eight voices. This was accomplished with a computer designed by the Quartet's producer specifically for this release, using a sophisticated digital format comprised of 28 recording lines.
In addition to its active performance sched?ule in the major concert halls of North America, the Quartet tours Europe extensively, with stops
in France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Belgium, and Austria. 200405 is the Quartet's 26th sold-out season at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. In 2002, the Emerson joined Stony Brook University as Quartet-in-Residence, coaching chamber music, giving master classes and providing instrumental instruction, as well as several con?certs during the year at Stony Brook's Staller Center for the Arts. The ensemble initiated its first International Chamber Music Festival at Stony Brook in June 2004, and continues its educational affiliation with Carnegie Hall in a workshop focusing on quintets by Brahms and Dvorak. In March of 2004 the Quartet was named the 18th recipient of the 2004 Avery Fisher Prize--another first for a chamber ensemble.
The Emerson has received six Grammy Awards: two for its Shostakovich cycle, two for
its Bart6k cycle, one for American Originals (works by Ives and Barber), and one for the complete quartets of Beethoven.
Formed in 1976, the Emerson String Quartet took its name from the American poet and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson. Violinist Eugene Drucker and Philip Setzer alternate in the first chair position and are joined by violist Lawrence Dutton and cellist David Finckel. Since January 2002, the Emerson has performed while standing--the cellist plays on a podium--and incorporates this practice in all appearances. The Quartet is based in New York City.
Tonight's performance marks the Emerson String Quartet's 12th appearance under UMS auspices. The Quartet made its UMS debut in March 1989 and has made annual appearances in the UMS Chamber Arts Series since 1998.
