Tradition Builds the Future WINTER 2017

In our 138th 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 Handel’s 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 now presents 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.

13 Why Do I Live In Poverty, No. 3

Сего ради нищ есмь, Why do I live in poverty: Села не имею, I own no piece of soil, Двора своего не стаяжяю, no farm to call my own, Винограда не копаю, no garden I can plough. По морю плавания не сотворяю. The seas I do not sail for gain, З гостми купли не дею, with merchants do not trade, Князю не служу, I do not serve the princes, Боляром не точен, wait not upon boyars, В слугахо не потребен, am useless as a servant. В книжном поучении забытлив, For scholarship I am unsuited, Церкви Божия не держуся, in the Church I do not believe, Отца своего духовенаго заповедь I disobey the precepts of my Преступаю, spiritual fathers, Тем Бога прогневаю. thus heaping divine wrath upon my head. На всякая дела благая не памятлив, Good deeds are not for me, Беззакония исполнен, raplete with dishonor, Грехи свершен, I am burdened down with sin. Даи же ми, Господи, преже конеца Grant me, my God, Покаятися. the chance to confess before my end.

Душе, душе, Soul, o soul, Почто тлеющими печешися? why lamentest thou mortality? Душе, вострепещи, Soul, tremble Како ти явитися создателю своему, before thou dost appear before the Maker И како ти пити смертеную чашу, and drainest the fatal goblet И како ти трьпети смрадныя ефиопы and before thou must face the stinking devil И веченыя мукы, and eternal torment. Ото нея же, Христе, From them, Christ, Молитвами рожешая тя deliver our soul — Избави душа наша. hear our prayer.
