Zuckerman opened the program Saturday with an intro- duction to the genre of melodrama. The word, she explained, comes from the Greek "melo" (melody) and "drama" (the- ater); therefore, it describes a form of art which blends the media of music and language together. She emphasized that "one does not accompany the other." Instead, the two forms complement each other in an intimate duet. Bloom's elegant voice held the audience, and Zuckerman's playing style gave the tales an ethereal glow. There was word-painting in the music, but there was also music-painting in the words. Several passages from Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream called for "mu- sic," and pieces devoted to Pan were sprightly and devilish in both melody and poetry.
