Boston Symphony Orchestra Concert Programs, Season 88, 1968 BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA FOUNDED IN 1881 BY HENRY LEE HIGGINSON EIGHTY-EIGHTH SEASON 1968-1969 Exquisite Sound From the palaces of ancient Egypt to the concert halls of our modern cities, the wondrous music of the harp has compelled attention from all peoples and all countries. Through this passage of time many changes have been made in the original design. The early instruments shown in drawings on the tomb of Rameses II (1292-1225 B.C.) were richly decorated but lacked the fore-pillar. Later the "Kinner" developed by the Hebrews took the form as we know it today. The pedal harp was invented about 1720 by a Bavarian named Hochbrucker and through this ingenious device it be- came possible to play in eight major and five minor scales complete. Today the harp is an important and familiar instrument providing the "Exquisite Sound" and special effects so important to modern orchestration and arrange- ment. The certainty of change makes necessary a continuous review of your insurance protection. We welcome the opportunity of providing this service for your business or personal needs.

TICKET RESALE AND RESERVATION PLAN The ticket resale and reservation plan has now operated for the past five seasons and has proved a great success. The Trustees wish again to thank subscribers who have taken part, and to bring it once more to the atten- tion of all other subscribers and Friends. Should you find that you are unable to attend one of the concerts for which you have tickets, the Trustees hope that you will allow others, who cannot obtain tickets for this subscription series, to have the opportunity to hear the Orchestra. You can do this by telephoning Symphony Hall (266-1492), and giving your name and ticket location to the switchboard operator. Your ticket then becomes available for resale, and the income gained is paid to the Pension Fund of the Orchestra. Subscribers who release their tickets for resale will receive a copy of the program of the concert they miss, and written acknowledgment of their gift for their tax records. Those who wish to request tickets for a specific concert should tele- phone Symphony Hall and ask for 'Reservations'. Requests will be attended to in the order in which they are received, and, since the Management has learned by experience how many returned tickets to expect, no reservation will be confirmed unless the caller can be assured of a seat. Tickets ordered in this way may be bought and collected from the box office on the day of the concert two hours before the start of the program. Tickets not claimed half an hour before concert time will be released. Last season the ticket resale and reservation plan helped reduce the Orchestra's deficit by more than $21,900.

Austin Walter, Director Erich Leinsdorf, Conducting Soloists: SHERRILL MILNES SARAMAE ENDICH Baritone Soprano Program Notes Copyright © by Alec Robertson The University Gymnasium Thursday Evening, November 21, 1968 8:30 o'clock I "Wedding" Cantata No. 202 for Soprano J. S. Bach (1685-1750) Aria: Weichet nur, betriibte Schatten Recitative: Die Welt wird wieder neu Aria: Phobus eilt mit schnellen Pferden Recitative: D'rum sucht auch Amor sein Vergnugen Aria: Wenn die Friihlings liifte streichen Recitative: Und dieses ist das Gliicke Aria: Sich iiben im Lieben Recitative: So sei das Band der keuschen Liebe Gavotte: Sehet in Zufriedenheit Saramae Endich, soprano Joseph Silverstein, violin Ralph Gomberg, oboe Charles Wilson, harpsichord continuo Jules Eskin, 'cello continuo Henry Portnoi, double bass continuo Sherman Walt, bassoon continuo Program Note: During his period of office as court composer at Cothen, where he had no duties to perform in the Duke's chapel, Bach is said to have composed a large number of secular cantatas, but only one of these, our cantata No. 202, is preserved complete, two more being known to us from subsequent adaptations in the church cantatas. We have, therefore, the Wedding cantata composed at Cothen in its original version. Bach was often unwilling to leave good material composed for a special occasion aside, but the dance-like character of the cantata would have prevented him from using the music subsequently in a church work.
