Tradition Builds the Future FALL 2016

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.

Vienna in 1980, where his minimalist music came to the attention of a wider public. Over the years Pärt’s compositional style has shifted from the rather severe neo-classicism of his early works, through serialism, to the mystic minimalism of his later music. He draws on influences from religion, Gregorian chant, and early European polyphony to create highly atmospheric pieces, employing a self-made compositional technique called tintinnabuli — literally the ringing of bells. His work Bogoroditsye Dyevo was written for the choir of King’s College, Cambridge, and first performed at the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols in 1990. The first half ends with a traditional Austrian Christmas song Still, Still, Still. Thought to originate in Salzburgland, this lullaby sung by Mary to Jesus was first published in Salzburg in 1865 in a collection of songs collated by Maria Vinzenz Süß. Our version was written by Alexander L’Estrange, one of a number of talented arrangers that work with the King’s Singers.
