At UMS, we believe it can. In our 136th season, we continue to showcase traditional performances alongside contemporary artists for an offering that is unlike anything available in the Midwest. UMS grew from a group of local members of the University and townspeople in the 1870s who gathered together for the study of HandelÕs Messiah. Led by Professor Henry Simmons Frieze and conducted by Professor Calvin Cady, the group assumed the name The Choral Union. Many Choral Union members were also affiliated with the University, and the University Musical Society was established soon after in December 1880.
Since that first season, UMS has expanded greatly and we now present the very best from a wide spectrum of the performing arts: internationally renowned recitalists and orchestras, dance and chamber ensembles, jazz and global music performers, and contemporary stagework and classical theater. Through educational programming, the commissioning of new works, youth programs, artist residencies, and collaborative projects, we continue to strengthen our reputation for artistic distinction and innovation.

PLEASE C ONSIDER THE F OLL O WING:
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.
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.
Wear what you want to the performance Ñ 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.
Unwrapping candies and cough drops before the performance begins cuts down on disruptive noise while the performance is in progress.
Think about whether it is necessary to wear your favorite perfume to the performance. Chances are that the folks sitting around you may appreciate an unscented experience.
The Good News: most of our performance spaces have world-class acoustics. The Bad News: that means that when you cough or sneeze 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 a UMS Choral Union Series event and please consider bringing cough drops with you to our other events. ItÕs noisy even if you cover your mouth!
Thankfully, we manage to keep last-minute changes to a minimum, but please remember that all artists and programs are subject to change at a momentÕs notice.
Programs with larger print are available. Ask an usher.
We make every effort to begin performances on time. The actual start time of a performance always reflects a combination of considerations. Late seating is not guaranteed. If you arrive after a performance has begun, we will seat you if there is an appropriate late seating break in the program. We work together with the artists to determine late seating breaks that will not disrupt their performance or the experience of the audience.

NOW THAT YOUÕRE IN YOUR SEATÉ

SAN FRANCISCO SYMPHONY
In his important Mahler monograph published in 2011, Jens Malte Fischer offers the following thumbnail description of Symphony No. 7: ÒAt the start...the listener appears to set foot on firm ground, but this is undermined by the shadows of the night, and at the end, our night vision finely attuned, we are blinded by a dazzling sun and deafened by the battery of noise unleashed by the brass and percussion.Ó Often considered an ÒenigmaÓ or even a ÒstepchildÓ among the Mahler symphonies, the Seventh is in fact the composerÕs most radical and forward-looking work, one that breaks new ground both by its harmonic innovations and by its bold juxtaposition of extreme characters, puzzling some critics while delighting many others.

ÒThree night pieces; the finale, bright day. As foundation for the whole, the first movement.Ó
Ñ Mahler to the Swiss critic William Ritter
Mahler began Symphony No. 7 in the middle. As a glance at the program page and MahlerÕs own summary for William Ritter tells us, the structure is symmetrical. The first and last movements Ñ both on a large scale Ñ flank three character pieces, which are themselves symmetrical in that the first and third are each called Nachtmusik.
It was with these two night musics that Mahler began this score in the summer of 1904. But with summerÕs end, a typically busy year began for Mahler, whose work as EuropeÕs most famous conductor occupied him throughout the concert season. In June 1905, Mahler headed back to his summer residence at Maiernigg, on the Wšrthersee, to continue work on his Seventh Symphony. He could not find the way into the composition. He took off for the Dolomites, hoping to release his creative energies, but nothing happened. Profoundly depressed, he returned. He stepped from the train and was rowed across the lake. With the first dipping of the oars into the water, he recalled later, Òthe theme of the introduction (or rather, its rhythm, its atmosphere) came to me.Ó
From that moment forward he worked like a man possessed, as indeed he must have been to bring this gigantic structure under control, even if not finished in detail, by mid-August. His Latin message to his friend, the musician Guido Adler, was jubilant. In English translation, it reads: ÒMy Seventh is finished. I believe this work to be auspiciously begun and happily concluded. Many greetings to you and yours, also from my wife. G.M.Ó Thinking about the first performance, Mahler considered the New York Symphony, which he would be conducting in the 1907Ð08 season, but soon realized that this would be madness in a city and a country that knew so little of his music. A festival in Prague to celebrate the 60th year on the throne of the Emperor Franz Joseph provided a more suitable occasion. Prague offered a less than first-rate orchestra; on the other hand, Mahler had ample rehearsal time, and the worshipful young conductors Ñ among them Artur Bodanzky, Otto Klemperer, and Bruno Walter Ñ who attended the preparations
SAN FRANCISCO SYMPHONY
recounted how, refusing all help, he used every night to make revisions on the basis of that dayÕs experience. He was always the most pragmatic of composer-conductors.
The Nachtmusiken and the ÒScherzoÓ made their effect at once; the first and last movements were harder nuts to crack and in Prague the reception was more respectful than enthusiastic. Mahler himself conducted the Seventh only once more, in Munich, a few weeks after the concert at Prague. It is still the least known of his symphonies.
The Seventh is a victory symphony, not a personal narrative but a journey from night to day (it is sometimes called ÒSong of the NightÓ). The focus is on nature. If the Seventh is a Romantic symphony, one should add that the ÒdistancingÓ effect produced by the outward-pointing, non-narrative character of the music can also be perceived as Classical.
The opening is music in which we may hear not only the stroke of oars, but the suggestion of cortege. Here Mahler carries us from a slow introduction into the main body of a sonata-allegro movement, adhering to the design that afforded symphonists from Haydn through Bruckner a broad range of expressive possibilities. Settling into a new key, he brings in a gorgeous theme, a highly inflected violin melody full of yearning and verve, rising to a tremendous climax, to merge into the music of the second of the three marches we have heard. More such merges lie ahead. At the focal point of the development comes what must be the most enchanted minute in all Mahler, a transformation of the second march from focused to veiled, and an ecstatic vision of the glorious lyric theme. A sudden plunge of violins returns us, shockingly, to the slow introduction. The recapitulation has begun. It is tautly compressed. The coda is fierce and abrupt.
The opening of the first of the Nachtmusiken is a minute of preparation a n d s e a r c h. A t r e me n d o us s k i d downwards through five-and-a-half octaves calls the proceedings to order. This artfully stylized version of an orchestra warming up turns into a tidy presentation of the theme that has been adumbrated. The theme itself is part march, part song, given a piquant flavor by that mix of major and minor we find so often in MahlerÕs music. In later years, the Dutch conductor Willem Mengelberg said that in this movement Mahler had been inspired by RembrandtÕs so-called Night Watch, but the composer Alphons Diepenbrock, also one of MahlerÕs Amsterdam friends, both clarified and subtilized the issue:
It is not true that [Mahler] wanted actually to depict The Night Watch. He cited the painting only as a point of comparison. [This movement] is a walk at night, and he said himself that he thought of it as a patrol. Beyond that he said something different every time. What is certain is that it is a march, full of fantastic chiaroscuro Ñ hence the Rembrandt parallel.
The initial march theme is succeeded by a broadly swinging cello tune. Like many such themes by Mahler, this one, heard casually, seems utterly na•ve; closely attended to, it proves to be full of asymmetries and surprises of every kind. Watch for the return of this tune, even more lusciously scored and with a new counter-theme in the woodwinds. Distant cowbells become part of the texture, suggesting the Sixth Symphony, in which they play such a prominent part. Suddenly that great tragedy-in-music intrudes even more as a fortissimo trumpet chord of C Major droops into minor. This sound of major falling into minor is the expressive and sonorous signature of the Sixth. The string figurations collapse, there is a stroke of cymbals and tam-tam, and then nothing is left but a cello harmonic and a ping on the harp.
MahlerÕs direction for the next movement, the ÒScherzo,Ó is Òschattenhaft,Ó literally Òlike a shadowÓ but perhaps better rendered as Òspectral.Ó Drums and low strings disagree about what the opening note should be. Notes scurry about, cobwebs brush the face, and witches step out in a ghostly parody of a waltz. The Trio is consoling Ñ almost. The Scherzo returns, finally to unravel and disintegrate.
T h e f i rs t N a ch t m u si k w a s a nocturnal patrol, the second is a serenade that Mahler marks ÒAndante amoroso.Ó William Ritter, nearly alone in his time in his understanding of Mahler, gives a wonderful description of the way the second Nachtmusik begins:
Heavy with passion, the violin solo falls, like a turtledove aswoon with tenderness, down onto the chords of the harp. For a moment one hears only heartbeats. It is a serenade, voluptuously soft, moist with languor and reverie, pearly with the dew of silvery tears falling drop by drop from guitar and mandolin.
Those instruments, together with the harp, create a magical atmosphere.
After these four so differentiated night scenes comes the brightness of day, with a thunderous tattoo of drums to waken us. Horns and bassoon are the first instruments to be roused, and they lead the orchestra in a spirited fanfare whose trills put it on the edge of parody. MahlerÕs humor gave trouble to many of his first listeners. Sometimes he maneuvers so near the edge of parody or of irony that, unless you know his language and his temperament, it is possible to misunderstand him completely, for example to mistake humor for ineptness. Few listeners here will fail to be reminded of Die Meistersinger.
But what is that about? Again, Ritter understood right away, pointing out that Mahler never quotes Wagner but Òre-beginsÓ the Overture to take it far beyond. The triumphant C-Major Ò F i n a l e Ó i s i t s e l f a ki n d o f c l i c hŽ stemming from the Beethoven Fifth and transmitted by way of the Brahms First and, much more significantly for this context, Die Meistersinger. Mahler uses Die Meistersinger as a symbol for a good-humored victory finale. Other Meistersinger references occur, for instance the chorale to which the prize song is baptized, and even the deceptive cadence to which Wagner frequently resorts to keep the music flowing.
This ÒFinaleÓ is a wild and wonderful movement. The Meistersinger idea turns out to be a whole boxful of ideas that, to an adroitly and wittily inventive builder like Mahler, suggest endless possibilities for combining and recombining, shuffling and reshuffling. To the city-square music of Mahlerized Meistersinger he adds stomping country music. No part of the harmonic map is untouched, while the rhythms sway in untamed abandon.
Then we hear music we have not heard for a long time Ñ the fiery march from the first movement. Or rather, we hear a series of attempts to inject it into the proceedings. Just as we think the attempt has been abandoned, the drums stir everything up again, and finally the theme enters in glory.

NOW THAT YOUÕRE IN YOUR SEATÉ

Having recently seen several performances of DiaghilevÕs Ballets Russes in Paris, the 22-year-old Prokofiev wrote to his best friend, composer Nikolai Miaskovsky, on June 24, 1913: ÒDaphnis is boring and amorphous Ñ it makes you sleepy when itÕs being poetic and makes you laugh when thereÕs drama and movement.Ó Later, he became much kinder to his older contemporary; in the 1920s he declared that ÒRavel is the only one in France who knows what heÕs doing,Ó and published a moving obituary in a Russian journal when Ravel died in 1937. ProkofievÕs ambivalence is understandable since he and Ravel were light-years removed from each other, stylistically as well as temperamentally. Nevertheless, there are some definite points of contact between the two as both were fond of mechanical ostinato rhythms; thus even the ÒboringÓ Daphnis may have had some impact on the music of the young iconoclast. According to one scholar, the influence also worked the other way around, as ProkofievÕs ballet Le Pas dÕacier (1926), written for Diaghilev, may very well have been an inspiration for RavelÕs BolŽro (1928).
As composers of piano music, both Prokofiev and Ravel admired the music of Franz Liszt. RavelÕs early piano piece Jeux dÕeau (1901) picked up where Liszt had left off with Les jeux dÕeau ˆ la Villa dÕEste (1877). One wonders whether Ravel had the Mephisto Waltz at the back of his mind when he wrote La ValseÉ. As for Prokofiev, we know he liked LisztÕs piano concertos, occasional echoes of which may be found in his own works. Representing two centuries and three countries, then, the three composers on tonightÕs program are connected by some subtle, yet tangible links.

Mephisto Waltz No. 1(1860)
Franz Liszt Born October 22, 1811 in Raiding, in the
Austro-Hungarian Empire Died July 31, 1886 in Bayreuth, Germany
UMS premiere: Harold Ba uer in performance of the piano transcription by Liszt, January 1902 in University Hall; orchestral performance by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Frederick Stock, 28th Annual May Festival, May 1921 in Hill Auditorium.
Orchestration: Two flutes and piccolo, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones (two tenors and one bass), tuba, timpani, cymbals, triangle, harp, and strings.
Performance time: about 12 minutes.

The Mephisto Waltz in its original form is an orchestral piece. It is one of a pair written in 1860 called Two Episodes from LenauÕs Faust, the first being among LisztÕs most visionary, mysterious, and predictably non-popular works, Nocturnal Procession; the other being the brilliantly vivid Dance in the Village Inn, subtitled Mephisto Waltz. Almost immediately, and to the delight now of many generations of pianist and audiences, Liszt made a piano transcription of the Mephisto Waltz. (Properly speaking, this is the Mephisto Waltz No. 1. Liszt adde d two more

SAN FRANCISCO SYMPHONY
Mephisto waltzes in 1881 and 1883, No. 3 especially being one of the most stunning of his late works; he sketched a fourth in 1885. There is even a Mephisto Polka, also from 1883.) The scene in the first waltz is easily apprehended. Faust and Mephisto come to an inn, Mephisto seizes the violin to make the music hotter, wild abandon among the dancers, glimpses of a starlit night with the voice of the nightingale, and a turbulent close. Liszt provided an alternative ending, quiet and rarely heard, and illustrating a line from Lenau: ÒÉund brausend verschlingt sie das WonnenmeerÓ (Éand the surge of the ocean of lust swallows them).

There are different Prokofievs. People who find their ideal Prokofiev in Romeo and Juliet may well find The Fiery Angel unpleasantly scratchy. One can also understand that those whose favorite Prokofiev is Symphony No. 2 might be disappointed in the famous Fifth. More of his sharp-edged and fairly dissonant music comes from his earlier years; most of his music that is more mellifluous in style, painted with a broader brush, and less inclined to humor comes from his later years in the Soviet Union, when he can even seem downright self-conscious in his concern not to rub the wrong way. He himself recognized in his life work four Òbasic lines,Ó which he called classical, modern, motoric, and lyrical. All are present all the time, although of course in different balances. The Violin Concerto No. 2 is a work in which these characteristics live together convincingly.
The violinist begins the Concerto alone, playing a slightly elaborated g-minor chord, ruminating on this very simple matter for eight measures The orchestral soundÑjust muted violas and basses, two octaves apartÑis austere. It is a versatile theme, and very soon Prokofiev lets us hear it as a canon with the violin trailing the cellos and basses by half a measure. After further play with fragments of this theme, the music slows slightly for a new melody, one so sweetly lyric that we could almost imagine a page from one of the Romeo and Juliet notebooks had found its way into the sketches for the Concerto. These two ideas provide Prokofiev with all the material he requires for this movement: his harmonic energy, at its strongest here, and his inventive violin writing carry him brilliantly to the end.

Prokofiev gently sets the second movement in motion with a simple arpeggiated accompaniment in triplets as the solo violin enters with one of the composerÕs most inspired melodies. The slight sense of rhythmic dissonance produced by the way its duplets are set against the orchestraÕs triplets gives it just the right amount of edge. This and the Romeo theme in the first movement are indeed examples of a manner one would not have found in ProkofievÕs music before the 1930s.
After these dreams, the finale jolts us into a rude awakening. This is dance music, and I would guess that Prokofiev added the castanets and other suggestions of Spanish flavoring because he knew that the Concerto would first be played in Madrid. Here Prokofiev indulges his appetite for dissonance and fierce accent, so firmly kept in check in the first two movements. The closing pages are marked tumultuoso.

When he was approached about writing the music for a new ballet that Serge Diaghilev was planning for his Ballets Russes, Maurice Ravel became as excited as was seemly within the bounds of his even-tempered nature. The Ballets Russes Ñ with Diaghilev as director, Michel Fokine as choreographer, LŽon Bakst as designer Ñ had taken Paris by storm in 1909, and a commission from the company was a signal that a composer had arrived in the city that prided itself as the summit of culture.
From the outset the going was not easy, and the ballet finally made its way to the stage of the ThŽ‰tre du Ch‰telet about two years after Diaghilev had hoped, with Vaslav Nijinsky dancing the role of Daphnis and with Tamara Karsavina as ChloŽ. Although it was revived in Paris the next season and in London in 1914, Daphnis et ChloŽ has enjoyed only sporadic success in the world of ballet. RavelÕs score, however, has achieved the status of a classic.
The sheer sound of this score is exceptional, even in RavelÕs colorful
BE PRESENT FALL 2014

SAN FRANCISCO SYMPHONY
oeuvre. In Daphnis et ChloŽ he employs the largest orchestra he would ever require, and he uses it with consummate skill. The wordless chorus is also used to imaginative effect at several points in the score, sometimes gliding between notes in a sort of microtonal, perhaps pseudo-Greek, ecstasy.
FokineÕs ballet scenario is divided into three parts, though the action is dovetailed into a single sweep in the staged ballet and, accordingly, in RavelÕs score. Here is the general scenario, compressed from inscriptions spread through the score.
Part One: A meadow on the outskirts of a sacred wood. On the right a grotto, at the entrance of which, carved from the same rock, are depicted three Nymphs from an ancient sculpture. On the left, a great mass of rock in the form of the god Pan. A clear afternoon in springtime. Youths and maidens enter carrying open baskets of gifts intended for the Nymphs. The stage gradually fills.
Daphnis comes clearly into view, preceded by his flocks. ChloŽ joins him and they prostrate themselves before the Nymphs. At the end of the dance, the emboldened herdsman Dorcon wants to kiss ChloŽ. A dance contest is proposed between Daphnis and Dorcon, with the winnerÕs prize to be a kiss from ChloŽ. Daphnis triumphs and is invited to receive his prize. Lycanion enters and flirts with Daphnis, but he tries to escape.
The sound of weapons and war cries are heard approaching. ChloŽ throws herself before the altar of the Nymphs, begging their protection. A group of pirates rushes in and abducts her. Crazed with despair, Daphnis curses the gods and falls fainting to the ground. Coming to life, the Nymphs descend from their pedestal and begin a slow, mysterious dance. They revive Daphnis and lead him to the rock, invoking the god Pan. Daphnis prostrates himself, imploring. The scene grows dark.
Part Two: Voices and trumpet calls are heard offstage from the piratesÕ camp. The pirate chief Bryaxis orders that the captive ChloŽ be brought in, and commands her to dance. She tries to flee and gives herself over to despair, thinking of Daphnis. Suddenly the atmosphere seems charged with strange ne w elements. With a menacing gesture, the formidable shadow of Pan is seen profiled against the mountains in the background. The scene dissolves to the landscape from ÒPart One,Ó towards the end of night.
Part Three: Dawn. Shepherds enter. They find Daphnis and awaken him. ChloŽ appears and the two rush into each otherÕs arms. Pan has saved ChloŽ, in remembrance of the nymph Syrinx, whom the god loved. Daphnis and ChloŽ mime the story of Pan and Syrinx. The dance grows animated. Before the altar of the Nymphs, Daphnis swears his fidelity. Daphnis and ChloŽ embrace tenderly. Joyous tumult. General dance. Dance of Daphnis and ChloŽ. Dance of Dorcon. Final Dance: Bacchanal.

T
he SAN FRANCISCO SYMPHONY (SFS) gave its first concerts in 1911 and has grown in acclaim under a succession of music directors: Henry Hadley, Alfred Hertz, Basil Cameron, Issay Dobrowen, Pierre Monteux, Enrique Jord‡, Josef Krips, Seiji Ozawa, Edo de Waart, Herbert Blomstedt, and, since 1995, Michael Tilson Thomas. The SFS has won such recording awards as FranceÕs Grand Prix du Disque and BritainÕs Gramophone Award, and the Mahler cycle on the SymphonyÕs own label has been honored with numerous Grammys, including those for ÒBest Classical AlbumÓ (MahlerÕs Third, Seventh, and Eighth symphonies), ÒBest Choral PerformanceÓ and ÒBest Engineered Classical AlbumÓ (Mahler Eighth), and ÒBest Orchestral PerformanceÓ (Mahler Sixth and Seventh). The recording of John AdamsÕs Harmonielehre and Short Ride in a Fast Machine won a 2013 Grammy for ÒBest Orchestral PerformanceÓ and an ECHO Klassik award. A series of earlier recordings by MTT and the Orchestra, for RCA Red Seal, has also won praise, and their collection of Stravinsky ballets for RCA (Le Sacre du printemps, The Firebird, andPersŽphone) received three Grammys. Some of the most important conductors of the past and recent years have been guests on the SFS podium, among them Bruno Walter, Leopold Stokowski, Leonard Bernstein, and Sir Georg Solti, and among the composers who have led the Orchestra are Stravinsky, Ravel, Copland, and John Adams. The SFS Youth Orchestra, founded in 1980, has become known around the world, as has the SFS Chorus, heard on recordings and on the soundtracks of such films as Amadeus and Godfather III. Adventures in Music, the longest running education program among US orchestras, brings music to children in grades one through five in San FranciscoÕs public schools. Keeping Score, designed to connect audiences with music and the emotions it conveys, aired on PBS.TV, is available on DVD and Blu-ray, and can be accessed at keepingscore.org. SFS radio broadcasts, the first in the nation to feature symphonic music when they began in 1926, today carry the OrchestraÕs concerts across the country.

ormed by a group of local university and townspeople who gathered together for the study of HandelÕs Messiah, the UMS CHORAL UNION has performed with many of the worldÕs distinguished orchestras and conductors in its 135-year history. First led by Professor Henry Simmons Frieze and conducted by Professor Calvin Cady, the group assumed the name The Choral Union. Since its first performance of HandelÕs Messiah in December 1879, the oratorio has been performed by the UMS Choral Union in Ann Arbor annually. Based in Ann Arbor under the aegis of UMS, the 200-voice Choral Union is known for its definitive performances of large-scale works for chorus and orchestra. Eighteen years ago, the UMS Choral Union further enriched that tradition when it began appearing regularly with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO).
Led by Grammy Award-winning conductor and music director Jerry Blackstone, the UMS Choral Union was a participant chorus in a rare performance and recording of William BolcomÕs Songs of Innocence and of Experience in Hill Auditorium in April 2004 under the baton of Leonard Slatkin. Naxos released a three-disc set of this recording in October 2004, featuring the UMS Choral Union and U-M School of Music, Theatre & Dance ensembles. The recording won four Grammy Awards in 2006, including ÒBest Choral PerformanceÓ and ÒBest Classical Album.Ó The recording was also selected as one of The New York TimesÒBest Classical Music CDs of 2004.Ó
The UMS Choral UnionÕs 2014Ð15 season begins with a performance of RavelÕs Daphnis et ChloŽ with the San Francisco Symphony under the baton of Michael Tilson Thomas this November, followed by its annual performances of HandelÕs Messiah at Hill Auditorium with the Ann Arbor Symphony in December. The chorus will return to HillÕs stage on ValentineÕs Day for a performance of Felix MendelssohnÕs oratorio Elijah with the Ann Arbor Symphony under the direction of Jerry Blackstone. In May, the UMS Choral Union will join with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra for a concert rendition of Giacomo PucciniÕs Tosca under the direction of Leonard Slatkin at Orchestra Hall in Detroit.
Participation in the UMS Choral Union remains open to all students and adults by audition.
Grammy Award-winning conductor JERRY BLACKSTONE is Director of Choirs and Chair of the Conducting Department at the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance where he conducts the Chamber Choir, teaches conducting at the graduate and undergraduate levels, and administers a choral program of 11 choirs. In 2006, he received two Grammy Awards (ÒBest

In 2004, Dr. Blackstone was named Conductor and Music Director of the UMS Choral Union, a large community/ university chorus that frequently appears with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and presents yearly performances of HandelÕs Messiah and other major works for chorus and orchestra. In March 2008, he conducted the UMS Choral Union and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in a special performance of BachÕs St. Matthew Passion. Choirs prepared by Dr. Blackstone have appeared under the batons of Valery Gergiev, Neeme JŠrvi, Leonard Slatkin, John Adams, Helmuth Rilling, James Conlon, Nicholas McGegan, Rafael FrŸhbeck de Burgos, Peter Oundjian, Michael Tilson Thomas, and Itzhak Perlman.

BE PRESENT
I
n a career that spans five decades, BOB JAMES has produced an impressive body of work. Over 30 solo albums and collaborations have resulted in 15 Grammy nominations plus innumerable awards, beginning in 1962 at the Notre Dame Jazz Festival and most recently with the George Benson Lifetime Achievement Award in April 2006. In between there has been ÒJazz Artist of the Year,Ó ÒJazz Producer of the Decade,Ó #1 jazz radio hits and five #1 tracks on the Billboard Jazz Charts. His first four albums were produced by Creed Taylor on his CTI label. At CBS, another 14 solo albums were released in the 1970s and 1980s before Mr. JamesÕ move to Warner Bros. There, while Vice President of A&R, 10 more titles were produced and released by Mr. James in the 1980s, Õ90s,
and into the 21st century.
One On One, featuring Bob James and Earl Klugh, and Double Vision, with Bob James and David Sanborn, won the Grammy Award and sold in excess of one million copies each. Mr. James composed the theme song for the television series Taxi as well as all-original music for the showÕs entire run. ÒAngela (Theme from Taxi)Ó is recognized by ASCAP as one of the top 10 series themes in television history. In addition to jazz recording, Mr. James has composed for Broadway, including Hapgood by Tom Stoppard, directed by Jack OÕBrien, and Hamlet, directed by Kevin Kline.
Since Bob James founded Fourplay in 1991, the group has recorded 10 albums of its own, sold millions of copies, toured the world, and was nominated in 2004 for a Grammy Award for their recording Journey. The groupÕs tenth album (X), released in August 2006, was also a Grammy nominee.
An unexpected but very successful component of Mr. JamesÕ career is his popularity with the industryÕs top rappers. Samples of his 1970Õs and 1980Õs compositions and recordings have been used by rap artists as early as Grandmaster Flash and DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince on to Run-DMC, LL Cool J, Warren G, and Jamie Foxx. In 2007 alone, Jay-Z, Guru, Consequence, and Busta Rhymes have all used his samples.
Bob James is an alumni of the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance where he earned both a bachelor of music degree and a masters in music composition. He was recently recognized with the U-M School of Music, Theatre & Dance 2014 Hall of Fame Alumni Award.

I
n his young career, ukulele wizard JAKE SHIMABUKURO has already redefined a heretofore under-the.radar instrument, been declared a musical ÒheroÓ by Rolling Stone, won accolades from the disparate likes of Eddie Vedder, Perez Hilton, and Dr. Sanjay Gupta, wowed audiences on television (Jimmy Kimmel, Conan), earned comparisons to Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis, and even played
in front of the Queen of England.
With his new record Grand Ukulele,
Mr. ShimabukuroÕs star may burn even
brighter. An ambitious follow-up to 2011Õs
Peace, Love, Ukulele (which debuted at
#1 on the Billboard World Charts), the
Hawaiian musicianÕs new record finds him
collaborating with legendary producer/
engineer Alan Parsons, best known for
his work on Pink FloydÕs Dark Side of the
Moon, The BeatlesÕ Abbey Road, and his
own highly successful solo project.
Given that Jake Shimabukuro first
won acclaim for a YouTube video of him
covering George HarrisonÕs ÒWhile My
Guitar Gently Weeps,Ó itÕs no surprise that Grand Ukulele features a number of wonderful reinterpretations, including StingÕs ÒFields of GoldÓ and, most prominently, AdeleÕs ÒRolling in the Deep,Ó a seemingly ubiquitous song given new life on the four-string.
This fall Mr. Shimabukuro embarks on a 30-city tour, performing primarily solo concerts. ÒSomeday IÕd love to tour with a full orchestra, but these solo shows will be fun, especially since we arranged them so the new songs can stand on their own,Ó he says.
For Mr. Shimabukuro, Grand Ukulele feels like the next step in a career that really started at the age of four when he first picked up the instrument, through a successful local career in Hawaii, and his first brush with fame on YouTube. Now, heÕs a respected, popular musician looking to make a lasting musical mark.

NOW THAT YOUÕRE IN YOUR SEATÉ

The program chosen by Leonidas Kavakos and Yuja Wang juxtaposes two pairs of composers, one from the 19th century and one from the 20th. In the first case, we have two masters from the same country belonging to different generations: SchumannÕs role in launching BrahmsÕs career is well known and doesnÕt need to be rehearsed here. In the second case, we have two masters from different countries belonging to the same generation: in the works of both Ravel and Respighi, born just four years apart, we find a special Mediterranean sensitivity that contrasts with the Germanic establishment represented by Brahms and Schumann. Both the Frenchman and the Italian had extremely refined senses of color, and they were both responsive to extra-musical images (as well as early music).
Our recital, then, offers a rather varied sample of violin-and-piano music; we may expect the performance of these two world-class soloists to combine the intimacy of chamber music with a brilliance that only the greatest musicians can display.

Sonata No. 2 in A Major, Op. 100 (1886)
Johannes Brahms Born May 7, 1833 in Hamburg, Germany Died April 3, 1897 in Vienna
UMS premiere: Violinist Joseph Szigeti and pianist Nikita de Magaloff, December 1934 in Hill Auditorium.

If the first sonata was an ÒappendixÓ to the Violin Concerto, the second, written in 1886, can be seen as a ÒpreludeÓ to his Double Concerto. The opus numbers reveal a most remarkable sequence of works: Sonata for cello and piano in F, Op. 99 Ñ Sonata for violin and piano in A, Op. 100 Ñ Trio for violin, cello and piano in c minor, Op. 101 Ñ Double Concerto for violin, cello and orchestra in a minor, Op. 102. It seems as though Brahms was systematically exploring the various combinations of the violin and the cello first with piano and then with orchestra.
To an earlier generation of musicians, the opening motif of the Sonata No. 2 was symbolic of the fact that the gulf between Brahms and Wagner was not as deep as a still earlier generation had believed. The resemblance between this theme and WagnerÕs ÒPrize SongÓ from Die Meistersinger von NŸrnberg is in fact too great to go unnoticed. Still, some modern commentators prefer to point to another allusion, this time to one of BrahmsÕs own songs, ÒWie Melodien zieht es mir leise durch den SinnÓ (It goes softly through my mind like music), in the second theme that follows soon after the first. What cannot be doubted are the song-like melodies that constantly evoke vocal memories (real or putative). A contrast in character is finally provided by the third theme, a striking rhythmic idea. These themes presented in the exposition (plus a fourth one that grows organically from the opening) dominate the development section and the recapitulation.
The second movement is really two movements in one: it starts with a tender
YUJA WANG AND LEONIDAS KAVAKOS
ÒAndante tranquillo,Ó only to be disrupted early on by a ÒVivaceÓ that plays the role of a scherzo. The ÒAndanteÓ returns in a modified form, followed by an even more playful variant of the scherzo (the violin plays pizzicato and the piano matches that sound with its own short and light staccato notes). A brief recall of both the slow and the fast themes concludes this unusual movement.
The finale returns to the singing lyricism of the opening. Remarkably understated for a finale, it is all dolce and espressivo, and even the tempo is on the slow side (ÒAllegretto grazioso quasi AndanteÓ). Some people have speculated that the warm intimacy of this music has something to do with the warm feelings Brahms had for the young singer Hermine Spies at the time. This is of course pure conjecture, just like the Wagner connection in the first movement Ñ but like that connection, it provides food for thought and an intriguing associative framework for the sonata.

Sonata No. 2 in d minor, Op. 121

Robert Schumann Born June 8, 1810 in Zwickau, Saxony Died July 29, 1856 in Endenich, nr. Bonn,
Germany
UMS premiere: Violinist Anne.Sophie Mutter and pianist Lambert Orkis, February 1995 in Hill Auditorium.

All three of SchumannÕs violin sonatas date from the last years of his creative life, that final burst of hectic activity that preceded his attempted suicide and mental collapse early in 1854. They were composed relatively fast. The first sonata was drafted in a matter of days. The second, heard at this afternoonÕs concert, took all of three weeks, and the third one was finished in about the same amount of time. In his late works, Schumann combined the intense Romantic passion of his youth with a newfound structural rigor where e v er y thing deriv es organically from a very small number of motivic cells. The four movements of the d-minor sonata are all based on a motif composed of the notes of the d-minor triad in the order D-A-F-D. This sequence of notes, as commentators have pointed out, corresponds to the name of the violinist to whom the piece was dedicated, Ferdinand David. David, the concertmaster of the Leipzig Gewandhaus, was a close friend of both Schumann and Mendelssohn; the latter had written his e-minor Violin Concerto for him.
Out of the rather plain triadic idea suggested by DavidÕs name, Schumann constructed an extremely diverse work, highly virtuosic, emotionally profound, and rather sophisticated in its use of harmony and rhythm. If the name predetermined the d-minor tonality, Schumann took full advantage of dramatic associations that came with that key. The opening movement begins with a tightly wrought introduction in a slow tempo, followed by a fast section bursting with energy. The D-A-F-D motif is present both in its original form and in a modified version where its rhythmic outline (four half-notes) is retained but the actual pitches may change. In later movements, Schumann sometimes used that rhythmic outline by itself, which proved sufficient to unify the work motivically.
The second movement is a scherzo with two trios, where the four-note theme is never far from the surface. Near the end of the movement, Schumann suddenly reveals the kinship of his theme with the chorale melody Mendelssohn had used in the last movement of his Piano Trio in c minor: it is a quote that was possibly intended as a memorial for Mendelssohn, who passed away four years earlier.
Another chorale-like derivative of the four-note theme appears as the melody of the slow third movement. This theme also recalls the opening of SchumannÕs ÒSpring SymphonyÓ of 1841 Ñ except the melody sounds quiet and subdued here: the violin plays pizzicato (plucking the strings), and the piano uses the soft pedal. In the course of a set of variations on this theme, the accompaniment keeps changing while the melody stays the same. Because of all the motivic links among the movements, a quote from the scherzo blends in naturally with the surrounding music.
In the tempestuous finale, Schumann discovers still more possibilities to exploit his core motivic idea, deriving from it a new theme which is constantly repeated, varied and developed as the momentum keeps increasing. Just before the end, the key changes from d minor to D major, allowing the sonata to end on a bright and exuberant note.

(Posthume)(1897) Maurice Ravel Born March 7, 1875 in Ciboure, Basses

It was during the centennial year of RavelÕs birth in 1975 that this previously unknown sonata, a student work, first came to light. It was written 30 years before RavelÕs well-known violin sonata, yet both works were inspired by the same violinist: George Enescu, who, by 1927, was an international celebrity; back in 1897, he was a 16-year-old prodigy from Romania studying at the Paris Conservatoire where he met Ravel, six years his senior, in Gabriel FaurŽÕs composition class.
Despite some obvious influences from FaurŽ and CŽsar Franck, the sonata already shows the imprint of RavelÕs emerging musical personality. (Commen ta tors ha v e no ted the resemblance between the opening themes of this sonata and the Piano Trio of 1914.) The piece follows a somewhat academic sonata form, yet the chords proceeding in parallel motion, the use of modal scales, and the many rhythmic irregularities producing a sense of freedom give the work a singularly ÒfloatingÓ feeling, less openly goal-oriented than many German sonatas. The initial form of the main theme, which culminates in a series of high harmonics on the violins, returns at the very end, creating a pair of musical bookends of sorts, between which the thematic development of the work unfolds.

Originally trained as a violinist, the 21-year-old Ottorino Respighi landed a job in the orchestra of the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow, and travelled from there to St. Petersburg for lessons in composition and orchestration with Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. He became a master of the modern orchestra and the first Italian composer in a long time to achieve renown outside the opera house (although he did write operas as well). He responded to the innovations of his contemporaries Debussy and Stravinsky, and combined these foreign influences with a genuine Italian sensitivity in his celebrated tone poems about Rome. In addition, he was an early champion of the revival of early music, arranging Renaissance and Baroque originals in his three sets of Ancient Airs and Dances.
RespighiÕs chamber music is less well known as his orchestral works, but the b-minor violin sonata (written, incidentally, the same year as DebussyÕs violin sonata) shows many of his greatest strengths: lush instrumental writing, great Italianate singing melodies, and harmonies tinged with French impressionistic influences. The concluding passacaglia bears witness to the emerging neo-Baroque tendencies in European music; the sonata, after all, is also an exact contemporary of RavelÕs Tombeau de Couperin. Although RespighiÕs first instrument was the violin, he played the piano well enough to join his old violin teacher Federico Sarti at the first performance, which took place in Bologna in March 1918.
The first-movement ÒModeratoÓ begins with an expressive and freely mod ulatin g vio lin m elody that is extensively developed and becomes agitato and con passione before too long. As the music grows in emotional intensity, Respighi begins to experiment with polyrhythmic groupings that were highly unusual at the time: three notes against five, six against seven, etc. These are perceived by the listener as a kind of tempo rubato (free rhythm) in which the relationship between melody and accompaniment is always fluid, or as a source of conflict and turmoil that has to be, and will be, resolved by the end of the movement.
These polyrhythmic procedures continue in the second movement, where the lyrical melody is set off by highly irregular figurations underneath. As before, the music moves from espressivo to appassionato and back. The ÒpassionateÓ section culminates in an outburst for violin marked Òcome una cadenza,Ó leading to the restatement of the expressive violin melody.
As mentioned before, the last movement is a passacaglia Ñ a set of variations over a bass melody. The theme evokes the Baroque and departs from it at the same time: it is 10-measures long instead of the expected eight and emphasizes the lowered second degree (the so-called Neapolitan) in a way not seen in Baroque music, while the dotted rhythm carries definite Baroque associations. At first, the repeats of the bass line are as literal as can be, and the variations are within the bounds of tradition. The later variations are much freer as key and tempo undergo ever-greater changes (Allegro molto, Lento).
ARTISTS

The thundering octaves in the bass, which give the piece a majestic character, are replaced by lighter textures, but they return just before the end to give the conclusion a truly grandioso character.

Support.
UMS excites the imagination, sparks creativity, sharpens collaboration, inspires new ways of thinking, and connects us in ways that only the arts can.
Ticket sales, however, cover less than 40% of the world-class programs that benefit our students and community.
Your gift of any size will enable UMS to deliver bold artistic leadership, to create engaged learning through the arts, and to provide access and inclusiveness.
NOW IS THE TIME.

Be a Victor for UMS.
Be a Victor for the Arts.
Be a Victor for Michigan.

Please send your gift to: UMS Development 881 N. University Ave. Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1011
For more information, please visit www.ums.org/support or call Margaret McKinley at 734.647.1177.
