THE EXPERIENCE.
GETTING THE MOST OUT OF THE PERFORMANCE
We know that everyone enjoys the performance experience in different ways, so we encourage you to think about making choices when you enter the theater that allow you to be present, leave the worries of the day outside, and prepare to receive what the experience holds in store.
Be aware of your surroundings. Clearing your mind and connecting with what an artist or ensemble has to share is a very special gift, a gift which comes from a lifetime of training. One of the joys of attending live performances is the ability to share our experiences with one another, so revel in your opportunity to socialize, talk to your friends, discuss the performance, or simply say "hello" to someone new. Feel the energy that a room full of people creates. Look around and take in the entire picture. What goes on in this venue and in this community is truly unique and special, and we must all cherish and protect it.
PRELUDE DINNERS.
Enjoy a delicious meal and learn more about the evening"s concert at Prelude Dinners. Park early. dine with fellow patrons, and hear about the artist, the performance, or the history of the work from our renowned guest speakers.

For information and reservations, call RacheHe Lesko at 734.764.8489.
PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:
ell Turn off cell phones and electronic devices. We all know how terrible it is when a phone rings during a performance. It breaks that special bond between a performer and the audience. Illuminated screens on phones are also a visual distraction in a darkened theater.
ell Our volunteer ushers are invaluable. They will show you to your seat, give you a program, help solve any problems, answer questions, and welcome you to the experience. Please do not hesitate to ask them for help.
ell Wear what you want to the performance - this is Ann Arbor, after all! If you feel inspired to dress in some way related to the show, go for it Express your own creativity.
ell Unwrapping candies and cough drops before the performance begins cuts down on disruptive noise while the performance is in progress.
ell Think about whether it is necessary to wear your favorite perfume tonight. Chances are that the folks sitting around you may appreciate an unscented experience.
ell The Good News: most of our performance spaces - especially Hill Auditorium - have world-class acoustics. The Bad N~s: that means that when you cough or sneeze without first covering your mouth, you make an especially clear statement to fellow audience members and performers alike. Feel free to ask an usher for cough drops when you arrive at an event.
ell Thankfully, we manage to keep last-minute changes to a minimum, but please remember that all artists and repertoires are subject to change at a moment's notice.
ell Programs with larger print are available by asking an usher.
ell We make every effort to begin performances on time. The actual start time of a performance always reflects a combination of considerations. If you arrive after a performance has begun, we will get you inside the theater and to your seat as soon as it is appropriate. We work together with the artists to determine late seating breaks that will not disrupt their performance or the experience of the audience.

~ I SMALL BITES Dianne Ree.'es, though raised in Denver, was bom in Detroit, Michigan to a musical family.
Scat singing is a vocal improvisation using wordless (non-lexical) vocables, syllables with no direct meaning, or without words at all. Scatting gives singers the ability to create "hom-like" improvised melodies and rhythms. Like all great improvisers, the best scat singers usually incorporate musical structure and form in their improvisations.
VocalistEllaFitzgerald(1917-1996)iswidelyconsideredto beoneofthemostinfluential scat singers in jazz history.
Ms. Reeves was invited toand sangat the closing ceremony of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, Utah.
In January 2004, Regina Carter and Dee Dee Bridgewater joined Ms. Reeves in the Jazz Divas Summit, a celebratory Hill Auditorium Re-Opening Weekend concert
WHY HILL100?
When the majority of UMS patrons think about Hill Auditorium. they fondly recall life-affirming moments listening to many of the great works of the Western European classical music canon performed by some of the world's most accomplished and respected ensembles and recitalists.But the history of UMS's presentation ofNAmerica's classicalmusic"- jazz- alsohasverydeepandmeaningfulresonancewithsoutheastern Michigan music aficionados who have participated in jazz concert experiences at Hill dating back totheyears before UMS launched its first UMS Jazz Series 19years ago.
From legendary clarinetist Benny Goodman's 1986 Big Band concert just weeks before he passed awtrj, to the 1997 UMS presentation of Wynton Marsalis's Pulitzer Prize-winning oratorio Blood on the Fields, Hill Auditorium has been the venue of choice for many UMS jazz concerts. The last UMS decade alone in Hill has brought improvising artists and ensembles as diverse as saxophone colossus Sonny Rollins; the estimable Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis; legendary pianists Dave Brubeck (who actually made his Ann Arbor debut in 1954 at Hill as documented on Columbia Records' Jazz Goes to Collegel Ahmad Jamal Detroit's ovmAlice Coltrane, and Keith Jarrett; and U-M honorary degree recipient and visionary Ornette Coleman.
UMS's annual Jazz Series concert presentations in Hill Auditorium (and in other cherished venues) reflect the organization's commitment to both the preseIVation of and the continual investment in a uniquely American art form (and global export) which is very much alive and kicking in 2012.Tapyour feet, bobyour head. and feel free to hoot and holler when you catch the emotion coming off the stage tonight. After all you're in HilIAuditorium.

WHY HILLlOO?
In the era before radio and high-quality phonographs, when symphony orchestras were relatively rare, Americans of the late-19th and early-20th centuries listened to great pipe organs with a mixture of technological awe, local pride, and aesthetic rapture. Cities competed to buy the biggest and best. The steel baron Andrew Carnegie, famous as the benefactor of city libraries. also gave millions for municipal organs. Community fund drives were organized to buy instruments made by the most prestigious manufacturers and playedby the most famous musicians.When the preeminent organ maker Ernest Skinner installed a new instrument in Cleveland in 1922 - "The Finest Musicallnstrurnent ever built by man." ads said - a crowd of some 20,000 swept past police to squeeze into an arena built to hold only 13,000.(The show went on as planned.)The richest Americans had genuine pipe organs installed in their homes, and a new industry grew up to provide humbler home organs for the middle class.
FormanyyearsbeforetheColumbianExpositionof1893,HenrySimmonsFrieze, professor of Latin and three times the University's interim president. had argued for the installation of a first-class organ on the campus.Frieze was the progenitor of Michigan's musical tradition. A fine amateur organist pianist and conductor, he launched student bands and choral clubs and introduced organ music to the daily chapel services. He persuaded the Regents to appoint the first professor of music. He w a s t h e p r i n c i p a l f o u n d e r o f t h e U n i v e r s i t y M u s i c a l S o c i e t y (UMS), w h i c h w a s t o make Ann Arbor a national center of fine music.
Frieze believed the shared experience of music was essential to a liberal education and to community life, and students agreed. In 1874, student journalists proposed a scheme by which a fine organ could pay for itself in six months through the sale of lO-cent tickets to all those who couldn't afford a piano in their homes.
"Music" they wrote, ·good refining music. at a low price, is what the thousand homeless students and the poor people of this city are craving, and they will gratefully acknowledge as a benefactor whoever will furnish it to them:

Anyonewho has ever seen Walt Disney's Fantasia is unlikely to ever forget Leopold Stokowslti in the role of the flamboyant maestro, conducting his own arrangement of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in d minor. Stokowslti who was flamboyant enough in real life, wanted to re-create Bach's organ sound making use of the full colors of the modern symphony orchestra He had played the organ himself as a young man and brought his early experiences to bear on the orchestration. cultivating a lush late- Romantic sound that accentuated what
one might call Bach's Romantic side. The d-minor Toccata and Fugue is certainly one of Bach's most extravagant compositions. There was even a time when some experts doubted Bach's authorship, in part because of its highly atypical nature. Most scholars nOV{ agree. hOV{ever, that it is genuine Bach. most likely a product of the composer's
early twenties. The Toccata section astonishes by
the abrupt and wholly unpredictable alternation of chords. passagev-.rork. andscales.TheFugueisoneoftheleast contrapuntal of all of Bach's fugues: the voices have very little independence and function mainly as hannonic parts. There are also toccata-like, virtuosic elements that are otherwise unheard- of in fugues. In another unusual move, the piece ends with a return to the free rhythm of the opening toccata.
llris extraordinary piece has always been popular by organists. There have alsobeenseveralattemptstotranscribe it for orchestra though Stokowski's version. which the conductor first introduced with the Philadelphia Orchestra on February 8, 1926, is the only one to have become universally known. The advent of the l1istorical" movement in early music performance, which favors original versions and authentic practices. has done little to diminish its universal appeal

llris second toccata like the one we just heard involves the organ and boasts a Philadelphia connection. Its story began with a phone call Mary Curtis Bok Zirnbalist the legendary philanthropist who had founded the Curtis Institute of Music in 1924. rang Eugene Orrnandy, the music director of t he Philadelphia Orchestraaboutthreeandahalfdecades later. "Eugene, are you standing?' she reportedly asked the conductor. "Please sit down. I'm giving you that pipe organ you've been longing for." To Ormandy's question. "Do you know how much it will cost?' Mrs.Zimbalist simply replied kDon'tworry about that."
The organ. built by t he Aeolian- Skinner Company of Boston (the same company that built Hill Auditorium's Frieze Memorial Organ~ ended up costing $150000. For its dedication. Mrs. Zimbalist turned to her old friend Samuel Barber,who had been one of the very first students at Curtis. to compose a new work for organ and orchestra. (As Mrs. Zimbalist's daughter-in-law Nellie Boklaterrecalled the 14-year-old Barber had been the second person to walk through the newly-opened doors of theInstitute.)Barberdidnotacceptafee for his work, which he completed in the spring of 1960, a few months before the scheduled premiere.

Its frequent recurrences unify a piece that otherwise contains great contrasts in tempo. dynamics. and sound color.
There are two extended organ solos. the first a lyrical passage, much of it over a single long-held pedal tone, and the second a cadenza for pedal only. The program book for the first performance notes that this cadenza was written with the cooperation of Barber's friend Thomas Schippers. the eminent conductor who was also an accomplished organist. The cadenza adds a great deal of brilliance to a work that originally written to celebrate a single joyous occasion. has gone on to earn a permanent place in the organ repertory.
