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.

4 THIS EVENING’S PROGRAM

Tonight’s program contains only a century’s worth of compositions, and yet it offers enormous variety at the same time. From the middle of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th, enormous changes occurred on the musical landscape. Schubert and Schumann were only a few years before this period, but could they have imagined how Wagner would reinvent our idea of passion and grandeur? Could the bel canto composers of the 1830s have had any idea of where Verdi would take opera, ultimately giving way to the very accessible scores of the veristic composers at the century’s end? If one must be restricted to only 100 years of composition, this may be the century to choose. Mr. Fabiano has submitted synopses for all the songs sung in foreign languages on this evening’s recital. They are not literal translations of the texts but are intended, instead, to give audience members a brief sense of the meaning and emotion of each individual song.

I Franz Liszt is best known for his piano pieces, but this was truly a man who wore many hats and worked in all genres. Conductor, pianist, composer, author — what did this rock star of the middle of the 19th century not accomplish? In addition to his own music, Liszt championed so many of his colleagues and secured their places on concert programs. Formally, he was never content with the traditional; the symphony gave way to the tone poem, a Liszt creation, and the sonata to the rhapsody. Liszt’s influence on all things artistic was profound and permanent. It is not possible to speak of Liszt without the name of Wagner appearing immediately in the conversation. The two giants shared almost identical birth and death dates, and it is difficult to say who had more influence on whom. There are many who claim that Liszt invented the Tristan chord years before the giant of Bayreuth did; others say that a Liszt rhapsody for piano solo is simply an act of a Wagner opera without the singing. What is certain is that the musical world would never be quite the same after these twin icons worked their magic upon it. Liszt’s song output amounts to only about six dozen examples, but unlike his linguistically limited colleagues, he was quite comfortable composing songs in German, French, Italian, Hungarian, and even one in English to a text by Alfred Lord Tennyson. His years of European travel as a virtuoso pianist would surely have given him near fluency in all these tongues. It must also be appreciated that the musical style of his songs changes according to the language. These four songs on texts of Victor Hugo are among Liszt’s most romantic and sweetest accomplishments in the genre. They are all valentines in song. Grand moments are to be found — the storm in the second stanza of “Enfant, si j’étais roi,” for example — but these are simply constructed to create an even more intimate atmosphere by way of contrast when said storm has abated, and Liszt gets back to the business of wooing. One of his most celebrated songs

5 is the finale of this group of love songs, “Oh! Quand je dors.” This text, which idealizes Petrarch and Laura as the pinnacle of a loving couple, must have appealed particularly to Liszt, since he had composed his Petrarch sonnets only a few years earlier than these French gems.

Enfant, si j’étais roi Comment, disaient-ils (Victor Hugo) (Hugo) My child, were I a king, I would give The men asked: how can we flee from my empire, my chariot, my scepter, my the police in our skiffs? The women kneeling subjects, my golden crown, and answered: row! my ships for a single glance from you! The men asked: how can we forget And were I a God, I would give the earth, quarrels and dangers? The women the air, angels and demons, chaos, the answered: sleep! universe, and eternity for a kiss from The men asked: how can we enchant you! these gorgeous girls without a love potion? S’il est un charmant gazon The women answered: love! (Hugo) Should there be a charming lawn Oh! Quand je dors watered by heaven and where all (Hugo) flowers of the season bloom, I want to When I sleep, approach my bed, as Laura trace a path on it for your foot to tread! appeared to Petrarch, and touch me Should there be a loving bosom filled with your breast…and my lips will part! with honor and devotion beating for a On my glum face perturbed by a dark worthy cause, I want it to become the dream, let your gaze lift it like a start… cushion where your brows rests! and my dream will be radiant! Should there be a rose-perfumed dream Then place a kiss on my God-blessed of love blessed by God where souls lips, and transform from angel into unite, I wish to make it the nest where woman… your heart settles! at once my soul will awaken!

II It is possible that solo pianists and instrumentalists are totally unaware of the music of Henri Duparc; even his name may be unknown to all save singers and the pianists who partner them. The fact is, Duparc’s reputation rests solely on the 17 songs he published. There are far, far more prolific composers who never achieve the consistent quality of Duparc’s works in 10 times the quantity. Why such a limited songbook? It is a sad story. Duparc lived a life of 85 years, but the last 35 years saw no composing whatsoever. He believed he was becoming insane, and rather than produce “flawed” pieces, he chose not to produce anything. In reality, his mind was not deserting him at all, but he trusted nothing and nobody, and sadly lived out his days in solitude and idleness. Unlike his contemporaries in France, Duparc was quite happy to admit he was very influenced by Wagner. In this sense, the first half of tonight’s program

6 can be seen as all under the Wagnerian umbrella. Whereas Debussy and Massenet traveled to the shrine at Bayreuth in secret, protesting any and all affinity with Wagner, Duparc visited openly and on three occasions. The 17 jewels that Duparc left us remain rooted in Gallic charm and subtlety, but the piano parts are often orchestral in nature and never simply accompaniments, any more than is the orchestra in the pit for a Wagnerian opera. Twenty years after the Hugo songs of Liszt, Duparc penned the sextet of songs heard tonight. They encompass exoticism “La vie antérieure,” defensive violence “Le manoir de Rosemonde,” Tristan-esque yearning “Extase,” and one of the world’s great love songs “Phidylé.” The drawer of Duparc songs may be a small one, but they have remained in the active repertoire of all singers since their premieres. His fusion of text and music, his highly developed taste in selecting poetry, and his ability to exploit and showcase both voice and piano are unsurpassed in the French repertoire.

La vie antérieure Le manoir de Rosemonde (Charles Baudelaire) (Robert de Bonnières) I have lived in the most grandiose Love has bitten me like a dog… Follow surroundings, palaces which lit by my bloodstains in order to find me. blinding sun would transform by Grab a well-bred horse and follow my moonlight into majestic grottos. path if the race does not exhaust you!

May our tears be sad and silent, as the Rest Phydilé! The midday sun shines dew that falls on the grass over his and invites you to sleep! head.

III The second half of tonight’s concert begins with surely the most rare, least frequently heard repertoire of the evening. One finds occasional performances of Puccini’s songs, but in fact, in all his 50 years of partnering singers — many of whom have been Italians — this writer had never encountered songs by Toscanini until now. Mr. Fabiano quite openly states that the Italian maestro is his hero, so it is no accident that he has chosen to braid together songs by these two compatriots, born only nine years apart. Neither Puccini nor Toscanini has gone down in history as a composer of song; in the case of the latter, few music lovers will have been aware that he composed at all. But even minor works by major musical authorities can prove interesting to us, if only biographically. In these two cases, however, it may go beyond simple scholarship, for these songs offer surprisingly clear glimpses into the taste and imagination of these iconic figures. With regard to Toscanini, one can safely say he is generally considered the greatest conductor of his generation, some would argue of any generation. As a student at the conservatory in Parma, he studied composition, theory, and was also an accomplished cellist. The launch of his conducting career is a Cinderella story: when the maestro for a performance of Verdi’s Aida was suddenly taken ill and rushed to the hospital with his score in hand, young Arturo left his seat in the cello section and conducted the four-act opera by memory…and brilliantly. In addition to his fluent baton technique and amazing ear, Toscanini’s principal legacy was his faithfulness to the composer’s wishes; his fabled temper permitted nothing less than perfect execution, at a time when orchestral playing — particularly in Italy — had become sloppy and haphazard. His fame grew quickly in Europe, South America, and eventually in the US, where his name became a household word, and remains so to this day. It is not at all unusual for conductors to compose. Names such as Klemperer, Walter, Furtwängler, Bernstein, Boulez, and Previn all come to mind, and many of these as composers of song literature. Toscanini the composer is part of this tradition, but in his case, he began writing as a teenager, and by 1895, when he

8 was 28, he abruptly brought down the curtain on this side of his career. Many say he did not want to tarnish the amazing reputation he had acquired as a maestro; others say he was embarrassed by the juvenile sentiments he had displayed and felt them inappropriate in a world now torn by war. His choices of texts may not be the best, and his preoccupation with lost love is all too clearly evident throughout the songs, but in exchange he offers us excellent prosody, charming lyricism, and an impressive gift for melody. Puccini claimed his talent to be exclusively for the theater, and any list of his compositions bears this out quite clearly. When not hard at work on an opera, he declared his three principal occupations to be waterfowl hunting, seeking good libretti, and beautiful women. If he decided to compose a song, it was inevitably for a particular occasion, or a gift for a lifelong friend, never for a celebrated singer. The four songs heard tonight have diverse histories: “Inno a Diana” was written during a hunting weekend, as he sought a respite from composing La Bohème; “E l’uccellino,” probably his most-performed song, was written for a newborn whose father, a Puccini family friend, had died just prior to his son’s birth; an annual magazine featuring an issue devoted to the sea-inspired “Terra e mare”; and the last song in this set — actually the first of the four to be composed — was Puccini’s graduation assignment from the Milan conservatory. Of particular interest when one studies Puccini’s songs is his extraordinary fondness for his own melodies, so much so that anyone conversant with his operas will recognize many measures in a song that seem to be familiar. In all cases, the song was composed well in advance of the opera, and even more astounding is the fact that the two texts have exactly nothing in common! Tonight you can hear snippets of melodies from operas yet to be born: Manon Lescaut, Tosca, La Bohème, and La Rondine.

Inno a Diana Spes, ultima dea (Carlo Abeniacar) (Lorenzo Stecchetti) Glory to you, O Diana, when you I said to my heart: “Why this dejection, offer rays of love and strengthen our this languor?” courage. It answered: “Love is dead.” Watch over your faithful followers, I said to my poor heart: “Why should I guide them and steady them on the hope if love is dead?” arduous path. It answered: “He who does not hope, From the Alpine peaks to the Sicilian dies!” shores, may this fervent love song reach you like a joyous echo.

E l’uccellino (Renato Fucini) Sleep my child, for you are safe here next to your loving father.

IV Samuel Barber’s trio of songs on poetry of James Joyce closes the program tonight. Written in 1936, the mini-cycle clearly presents the hallmarks of Barber’s style, despite its early opus number. Unlike so many of his colleagues who sought tirelessly to create the “American sound,” whatever that may be, Barber remained quite content to be known as an international, even Eurocentric and neo-romantic composer. We never hear folksongs, work chants, or protestant hymn tunes quoted or suggested in any work of Barber’s. Many refer to him as the American Brahms, for he combines lush textures with a fairly strict adherence to traditional forms, thus looking backward as much as forward. His instrumental works are full of fugues, passacaglias, and theme/variations techniques; his vocal music — both song and opera — can easily be considered Strauss-like, with both performers equally sharing the spotlight. Apart from short-lived dalliances with the 12-tone or atonal systems of composition, Barber was supremely comfortable expanding the romantic envelope but never breaking out of it. His friends Benjamin Britten and Francis Poulenc offered the same admission that Barber consistently made: all three stated plainly and openly that they were at their most inspired when singing and text were present. This is not to suggest that their music sounds similar — far from it! — but his European colleagues had singers as life-partners and Barber himself was a highly accomplished baritone. Barber came by this predilection for vocal music quite honestly, for his aunt,

10 the internationally celebrated contralto Louise Homer, had a profound influence on him already as a young child. The Barbers’ version of making music at home consisted not of folk ditties or simple carols, but rather of vocal music by Wagner, Brahms, and Strauss. Clearly, the composer’s long lyrical lines and sophisticated choices of texts were not an accident. Barber wrote vocal music from the age of seven to his last years, and his experience and confident hand with the fusion of text and music never deserted him. These three songs of Op. 10 are perfect examples of all that has been said. “Rain has fallen” offers us full-blown lyricism for the voice along with dramatic pianism. The opening’s vagueness of a watercolor gives way to the desperation of the final measures; Debussy gives way to Brahms as the singer pleads for honest communication with the beloved. “Sleep now” relies on the contrast of sweetness and simplicity with an angular recitative-like central section to make its point. Finally, the ultimate nightmare of being abandoned in “I hear an army” is a theme Barber had first explored three years earlier with hisDover Beach for baritone and string quartet. Throughout this opus, the prosody is near perfect, the voice’s ability to soar is omnipresent, and the piano is given an equally challenging, theatrical role. What more could one want? Anyone who sings or loves singing is the richer for the legacy of Samuel Barber.
