LIEBESLIEDER-WALTZER (LOVESONG WALTZES) ....... Georg Friedrich Daumer (1800–1875)
1. Rede, Mädchen, allzu liebes,
Das mir in die Brust, die Kühle,
Hat geschleudert mit dem Blicke
Diese wilden Glutgefühle!
Willst du nicht dein Herz erweichen,
Willst du, eine Überfromme,
Rasten ohne traute Wonne,
Oder willst du, dass ich komme?
Rasten ohne traute Wonne,
Nicht so bitter will ich büssen.
Komme nur, du schwarzes Auge.
Komme wenn die Sterne grüssen.
Tell me, maiden, in all ways lovely,
you who with your glances
fire my soul
with ardent longing:
Can you not soften your heart?
Must you, overly devout,
remain without delight,
or would you have me come to you?
To remain without delight –
I do not want such bitter penance.
Come then, dark-eyed one,
come when the stars appear.
2. Am Gesteine rauscht die Flut,
Heftig angetrieben.
Wer da nicht zu seufzen weiss,
Lernt es unterm Lieben.
On the rocks lashes the tide,
in violent agitation.
He who knows not how to sigh
will learn through love.
3. O die Frauen, o die Frauen,
Wie sie Wonne tauen!
Wäre lang ein Mönch geworden,
Wären nicht die Frauen!
O these women!
Filled with delights!
I would have become a monk long ago,
were it not for women!
4. Wie des Abends schöne Röte
Möcht’ ich arme Dirne glüh’n,
Einem, Einem zu gefallen,
Sonder Ende Wonne sprüh’n.
As the evening’s lovely sunset glows,
so would I, a lowly lass;
if only I could please one man,
I would be showered with endless happiness.
5. Die grüne Hopfenranke,
Sie schlängelt auf der Erde hin.
Die junge schöne Dirne,
So traurig ist ihr Sinn!
Du höre, grüne Ranke!
Was hebst du dich nicht himmelwärts?
Du höre, schöne Dirne!
Was ist so schwer dein Herz?
Wie höbe sich die Ranke,
Der keine Stütze Kraft verleiht?
Wie wäre die Dirne fröhlich,
Wenn ihr der Liebste weit?
Green hop vines
that creep along the ground.
Lovely young maiden,
so sad in her mind!
Listen, green vines!
Why do you not lift yourself heavenward?
Listen, lovely maid!
Why is your heart so heavy?
How can the vine lift itself
with no support to lend it strength?
How can a maid become joyful
when her love is far away?
6. Ein kleiner, hübscher Vogel nahm den Flug
Zum Garten hin, da gab es Obst genug.
Wenn ich ein hübscher, kleiner Vogel wär’,
Ich säumte nicht, ich täte so wie der.
Leimruten-Arglist lauert an dem Ort;
Der arme Vogel konnte nicht mehr fort.
Wenn ich ein hübscher, kleiner Vogel wär’,
Ich säumte doch, ich täte nicht wie der.
Der Vogel kam in eine schöne Hand,
Da tat es ihm, dem Glücklichen, nicht an.
Wenn ich ein hübscher, kleiner Vogel wär’,
Ich säumte nicht, ich täte doch wie der.
A tiny, pretty bird flew into an orchard,
where he found plenty of fruit.
If I were a pretty little bird,
I would not hesitate, I would do as he.
A bird-lime trap lurked at that place;
the poor bird could escape no more.
If I were a pretty little bird,
I’d hesitate, I would not do as he.
A bird perched on a lovely hand
that did him, O lucky one, no harm.
If I were a pretty little bird
I’d not hesitate, I would do as he.
7. Wohl schön bewandt war es vor ehe
Mit meinem Leben, mit meiner Liebe;
Durch eine Wand, ja, durch zehn Wände
Erkannte mich des Freundes Sehe,
Doch jetzo, wehe, wenn ich dem Kalten
Auch noch so dicht vor’m Auge stehe,
Es merkt’s sein Auge, sein Herze nicht.
How lovely it was formerly
with my life, my love –
through a wall, yea, through ten walls,
my friend recognized me;
but now, alas, though I stand
so close to the cold one’s eyes,
his eyes and his heart notice nothing.
8. Wenn so lind dein Auge mir,
Und so lieblich schauet,
Jede letzte Trübe flieht
Welche mich umgrauet.
Dieser Liebe schöne Glut,
Lass sie nicht verstieben!
Nimmer wird, wie ich, so treu,
Dich ein And’rer lieben.
When your eyes so tenderly
and lovingly look on me,
each remaining care
that troubles me flees.
Let this love’s wondrous ardor
never die!
Never will another love you
so truly as I.
9. Am Donaustrande, da steht ein Haus,
Da schaut ein rosiges Mädchen aus.
Das Mädchen, es ist, wohl gut gehegt;
Zehn eiserne Riegel sind vor die Türe gelegt.
Zehn eiserne Riegel, das ist ein Spass;
die spreng’ ich als wären sie nur von Glas.
On the banks of the Danube stands a house
out of which looks a rosy maiden.
The maiden is well protected,
ten iron bars are placed before the door.
Ten iron bars are a joke; I break them
as though they were only of glass.
10. O wie sanft die Quelle sich
Durch die Wiese windet!
O wie schön, wenn Liebe sich
Zu der Liebe findet!
O how gently the brook
winds through the meadows!
O how lovely when love
finds itself matched by love!
The businesses listed in this program have been very helpful to us in bringing

11. Nein, es ist nicht auszukommen
mit den Leuten;
Alles wissen sie so giftig auszudeuten:
Bin ich heiter, hegen soll ich lose Triebe;
Bin ich still, so heisst’s,
ich wäre irr’ aus Liebe.
No, there is no getting along
with these neighbors;
to everything they give a malicious interpretation:
When I am happy, they say I have loose morals;
When I am quiet,
they say I am mad from love.
12. Schlosser auf, und mache Schlösser,
Schlösser ohne Zahl!
Denn die bösen Mäuler
Will ich schliessen allzumal!
Locksmith come and make locks!
Locks without number!
Because I want to silence
their spiteful mouths for all time.
13. Vögelein durchrauscht die Luft,
Sucht nach einem Aste;
Und das Herz ein Herz begehrt’s,
Wo es selig raste.
A little bird flying through the air
seeks a branch.
And this heart longs for another heart,
where it might happily rest.
14. Sieh, wie ist die Welle klar,
Blickt der Mond hernieder!
Die du meine Liebe bist,
Liebe du mich wieder!
See, how clear the wave is
when the moon shines down.
You, who are my love,
love me in return!
15. Nachtigall, sie singt so schön,
Wenn die Sterne funkeln.
Liebe mich, geliebtes Herz,
Küsse mich im Dunkeln!
Nightingale, you sing so sweetly
when the stars twinkle.
Love me, beloved heart,
kiss me in the darkness.
16. Ein dunkeler Schacht ist Liebe,
Ein gar zu gefährlicher Bronnen;
Da fiel ich hinein, ich Armer,
Kann weder hören noch seh’n,
Nur denken an meine Wonnen,
Nur stöhnen in meinen Weh’n.
A dark pit is love –
an all-too-dangerous well;
I fell into it – poor me,
and I can neither hear nor see;
I can only think of my joys –
only moan in my misery.
17. Nicht wandle, mein Licht,
Dort aussen im Flurbereich!
Die Füsse würden dir,
Die zarten zu nass, zu weich.
All überströmt sind dort
Die Wege, die Stege dir;
So überreichlich tränte
Dorten das Auge mir.
Do not wander, my light,
out into the meadow!
Your tender feet
will become too wet.
All the pathways there
are overflowing for you –
so abundantly
my eyes have wept there.
18.
Es bebet das Gesträuche,
Gestreift hat es im Fluge
Ein Vögelein.
In gleicher Art erbebet
Die Seele mir, erschüttert
Von Liebe, Lust und Leide,
Gedenkt sie dein.
The branches tremble –
a little bird in flight
has brushed them.
Likewise
my soul trembles, shaken
by love, delight, and sorrow,
thinking of you.
Intermission 15 minutes
Thanks for joining us this afternoon as we continue to celebrate the seventieth anniversary
of the North Shore Choral Society. We sincerely hope that today’s two diverse offerings will
provide a pleasant and rewarding musical interlude.
It is indeed a privilege to welcome the Red Rose Chamber Choir to our performance of
Carmina Burana. These thirty-one high school girls comprise but one of four Red Rose
treble choirs with a total membership of some 140 singers, ranging in age from seven to
eighteen and representing a number of suburbs in Lake and northern Cook counties. In
addition to performing at many Chicago area venues (including singing the National Anthem
at a White Sox game), Red Rose has traveled to such places as Hawaii, England, and China
to participate in children’s choir festivals. Additional information about this unique group is
available on the Red Rose website: www.rrcchoir.org.
Please take note of the other two concerts of our seventieth season. On May 7, the Chorus
joins the Northbrook Symphony in a concert dedicated to the 100th birthday of Dimitri
Shostakovich with his Second Symphony (“To the October Revolution”), a Chicago area
premiere. Lawrence Rapchak will conduct this work in the Center of Performing Arts at
Glenbrook North High School in Northbrook.
And on June 11, in Pick-Staiger Concert Hall, the Society presents Robert Schumann‘s
Das Paradies und die Peri. Based on a Persian folk tale, and wedding oratorio to opera,
it has not been performed in the Chicago area in over thirty years. Peri is recognized as the
work that, more than any other, established Schumann’s international reputation.

CARMINA BURANA
FORTUNA: IMPERATRIX MUNDI
1.
Sors immanis
et inanis,
rota tu volubilis,
status malus,
vana salus
semper dissolubilis,
obumbrata
et velata
michi quoque niteris;
nunc per ludum
dorsum nudum
fero tui sceleris.
Sors salutis
et virtutis
michi nunc contraria
est affectus
et defectus
semper in angaria.
Hac in hora
sine mora
corde pulsum tangite;
quod per sortem
sternit fortem,
mecum omnes plangite!
O FORTUNE
O Fortune, variable as the moon, always dost thou wax and wane. Detestable life, first
dost thou mistreat us, and then, whimsically, thou heedest our desires. As the sun melts
the ice, so dost thou dissolve both poverty and power.
Monstrous and empty fate, thou, turning wheel, art mean, voiding good health at thy will.
Veiled in obscurity, thou dost attack me also. To thy cruel pleasure I bare my back.
Thou dost withdraw my health and virtue; thou dost threaten my emotion and weakness
with torture. At this hour, therefore, let us pluck the strings without delay. Let us mourn
together, for fate crushes the brave.

O FORTUNA
O Fortuna,
velut Luna
statu variabilis,
semper crescis
aut decrescis;
vita detestabilis
nunc obdurat
et tunc curat
ludo mentis aciem,
egestatem,
potestatem
dissolvit ut glaciem.
FORTUNE: EMPRESS OF THE WORLD
FORTUNE PLANGO VULNERA
Fortune plango vulnera
stillantibus ocellis,
quod sua michi munera
subtrahit rebellis.
Verum est, quod legitur
fronte capillata,
sed plerumque sequitur
Occasio calvata.
In Fortune solio
sederam elatus,
prosperitatis vario
flore coronatus;
quicquid enim florui
felix et beatus,
nunc a summo corrui
gloria privatus.
Fortune rota volvitur:
descendo minoratus;
alter in altum tollitur;
nimis exaltatus
rex sedet in vertice
caveat ruinam!
nam sub axe legimus
Hecubam reginam.
THE WOUNDS THAT FORTUNE BLOWS
I lament the wounds that Fortune blows with weeping eyes, for she extorts from me her
gifts, now pregnant and prodigal, now lean and sear.
Once was I seated on Fortune’s throne, crowned with a garland of prosperity. In the bloom
of my felicity I was struck down and robbed of all my glory.
At the turn on Fortune’s wheel, one is deposed, another is lifted on high to enjoy a brief
felicity. Uneasy sits the king – let him beware his ruin, for beneath the axle of the wheel
we read: Queen of Hecuba.

Ama me fideliter!

quisquis amat taliter,

EVERYTHING IS TEMPERED BY THE SUN
The sun, pure and fine, tempers all; a new world is opened by the face of April.
The heart of man rushes to love; and over all the boyish god rules.
The power of Nature’s renovation in the glorious Spring commands us to be joyful.
Spring evokes the wonted ways of love. Hold fast thy lover!
Love me faithfully, feel the constant adoration of my heart and mind. I am with you even
when apart. Whosoever shares my feelings knows the torture of love.

THE BRIGHT FACE OF SPRING
The bright face of Spring shows itself to the world, driving away the cold of Winter.
Flora reigns in her colorful robes, praised in the canticle of sweet-sounding woods.
Phoebus laughs in Flora’s lap again. Surrounded by flowers, Zephyrus breathes the
fragrance of their nectar. Let us compete for the prize of love.
The sweet nightingale begins her song; the bright meadows laugh with flowers; birds flit
about the pleasant woods; the maidens’ chorus brings a thousand joys.

ECCE GRATUM
Ecce gratum

Ver reducit gaudia,
purpuratum
floret pratum,
Sol serenat omnia,
iamiam cedant tristia!
Estas redit,
nunc recedit
Hyemis sevitia.
Iam liquescit
et decrescit
grando, nix et cetera,
bruma fugit,
et iam sugit,
Ver Estatis ubera;
illi mens est misera,
qui nec vivit,
nec lascivit
sub Estatis dextera.
Gloriantur
et letantur
in melle dulcedinis
qui conantur,
ut utantur
premio Cupidinis;
simus jussu Cypridis
gloriantes
et letantes
pares esse Paridis.
BEHOLD THE SPRING
Behold the Spring, welcome and long awaited, which brings back the pleasures of life.
The meadow with purple flowers is a-bloom, the sun brightens all things. Now put all
sadness aside, for Summer returns, and Winter’s cold withdraws.
Ice and snow melt away; the frost flees, and Spring sucks the breast of Summer. Miserable
is he who neither loves nor frolics under Summer’s spell.
Those who vie for Cupid’s prize taste the sweetness of honey. Let us, proud and joyful, be
ruled by Venus. Let us emulate Paris.

THE NOBLE FOREST BLOOMS AGAIN
The noble forest is filled with buds and leaves. Where is my lover? He rode away on
horseback. Alas, who will love me now?
Everywhere the forest is in bloom; I am longing for my lover. If the wood is green all
over, why does my lover not return? He has ridden away. Alas, who will love me?

ESTUANS INTERIUS
Estuans interius
ira vehementi
in amaritudine
loquor mee menti:
factus de materia,
cinis elementi
similis sum folio,
de quo ludunt venti.
Cum sit enim proprium
viro sapienti
supra petram ponere
sedem fundamenti,
stultus ego comparor
fluvio labenti,
sub eodem tramite
nunquam permanenti.
Mihi cordis gravitas
res videtur gravis;
iocus est amabilis
dulciorque favis;
quicquid Venus imperat,
labor est suavis,
que nunquam in cordibus
habitat ignavis.
Feror ego veluti
sine nauta navis,
ut per vias aeris
vaga fertur avis;
non me tenent vincula,
non me tenet clavis,
quero mihi similes
et adiungor pravis.
Via lata gradior
more iuventutis,
inplicor et vitiis
immemor virtutis,
voluptatis avidus
magis quam salutis,
mortuus in anima
curam gero cutis.
IN RAGE AND BITTERNESS
In rage and bitterness I talk to myself, made of matter, ash of the elements, I am like a leaf
which the wind plays with.
If a wise man builds his house upon a rock, I, fool, am like a gliding river which follows
no straight path.
I am swept away like a pilotless ship, like a bird floating aimlessly through the air. No
fetters, no locks hold me; I am looking for my like, and I join the depraved.
The burdens of the heart weigh too heavily on me. Jesting is lovely and sweeter than the
honeycomb. What Venus commands is suave labor; love never dwells in cowardly
hearts.
On the broad road I move along as youth is wont to do. I am entangled in vice, and
unmindful of virtue. Greedy more for lust than for welfare; dead in soul, I care only for
my body.

OLIM LACUS COLUERAM
Olim lacus colueram,
olim pulcher extiteram,
dum cignus ego fueram.
Miser, miser!
modo niger
et ustus fortiter!
Girat, regirat garcifer;
me rogus urit fortiter:
propinat me nunc dapifer,
Nunc in scutella iaceo,
et volitare nequeo,
dentes frendentes video:
ONCE I DWELT IN THE LAKES
Once I dwelt in the lakes; once I was a beautiful swan. O miserable me! Now I am black
and roasted to a turn!
The cook turns me on the spit, the fire roasts me through, and I am prepared for the feast.
Now in a serving dish I lie and can no longer fly. Gnashing teeth confront me.

EGO SUM ABBAS
Ego sum abbas Cucaniensis et consilium meum est cum bibulis, et in secta Decii voluntas
mea est, et qui mane me quesierit in taberna, post vesperam nudus egredietur, et sic
denudatus veste clamabit: Wafna, wafna! quid fecisti sors turpissima? Nostre vite
gaudia abstulisti omnia!

I AM THE ABBOT
I am the Abbot of Cucany, and I meet with my fellow-drinkers, and I belong to the sect of
Decius. Whosoever meets me in the tavern over dice loses his garments by the end of
the day, and, thus denuded, he cries: Wafna, wafna! What hast thou done, O infamous
fate? Thou hast taken away all the pleasures of this life.

IN TABERNA QUANDO SUMUS
In taberna quando sumus,
non curamus quid sit humus,
sed ad ludum properamus,
cui semper insudamus.
Quid agatur in taberna,
ubi nummus est pincerna,
hoc est opus ut queratur,
sic quid loquar, audiatur.
Quidam ludunt, quidam bibunt,
quidam indiscrete vivunt.
Sed in ludo qui morantur,
ex his quidam denudantur,
quidam ibi vestiuntur,
quidam saccis induuntur.
Ibi nullus timet mortem,
sed pro Baccho mittunt sortem:
Primo pro nummata vini
ex hac bibunt libertini:
semel bibunt pro captivis,
post hec bibunt ter pro vivis,
quater pro Christianis cunctis,
quinquies pro fidelibus defunctis
sexies pro sororibus vanis,
septies pro militibus silvanis.
Octies pro fratribus perversis,
nonies pro monachis dispersis,
decies pro navigantibus,
undecies pro discordantibus,
duodecies pro penitentibus,
tredecies pro iter angentibus.
Tam pro papa quam pro rege
bibunt omnes sine lege.

WHEN WE ARE IN THE TAVERN
When we are in the tavern, unmindful of the grave, we rush to the gaming tables over
which we sweat. If you want to know what happens in the tavern where money gets you
wine, then listen to my tale.
Some men gamble, others drink, others shamelessly indulge themselves; and of those who
stay to gamble, some lose their garments, and others are in sackcloth. There no one is in
fear of death, throwing dice for Bacchus:
First, the dice are thrown for wine, which the libertines drink. Then they toast the
prisoners twice, then they toast the living thrice. Four times wine is drunk for
Christians, five times for the faithful departed, six times for the boastful sisters, seven
times for the forest soldiers.
Eight times for the sinful brethren, nine times for the dispersed monks, ten times for the
navigators, eleven times for men at odds, twelve times for the penitent, thirteen for the
travelers. We drink for Pope and King alike, and then we drink, we drink.
The mistress drinks, the master drinks, the soldier and the clergyman. This man drinks,
that woman drinks, the servant and the maid. The quick man drinks, the lazy drinks, the
white man and the black. The sedentary drinks, the wanderer drinks, the ignorant and
the learned.
The poor man drinks, the sick man drinks, the exiled and the unknown. The youngster
drinks, the oldster drinks, the Bishop and the Deacon. The sister drinks, the brother
drinks, the old woman and the mother. Women drink and men drink by the hundreds and
the thousands.
Six hundred coins are not enough for this aimless and intemperate drinking. Though our
drink is always gay, there are ever those who nag, and we shall be indigent. May they
who nag us be confounded, and never be inscribed among the just. Io, io, io! …

Enchanted Remembrances:
Siqua sine socio,

The Life of a Sunday’s Child
By Susanne Schmaltz • Translated from the German by Inge Kistler •
LOVE FLIES EVERYWHERE
Love flies everywhere and is seized by desire. Young men and young women
are rightly joined together.
If a girl lacks a man she misses all delight; darkest night is at the bottom of her heart:
This is bitterest fate.

DAY, NIGHT AND ALL
Day, night and all the world are opposed to me, and the sound of maidens’ voices
makes me weep. Alas, I am filled with sighing and fear.
O friends, amuse yourselves and speak as you please. Spare me, a sad man,
for great is my grief. Counsel me, by your honour.
Thy lovely face makes me weep a thousand tears because thy heart is made of ice.
Thy single kiss would bring me back to life.

Dear Mrs. Kistler,
I wish to tell you how throroughly I enjoyed your great
grandaunt’s book “Enchanted Remembrances” which you so
very finely tailored to the present.
What a remarkable woman she must have been — with
her indomitable courage and determination, with her sense of
adventure, but even more so with her uncanny ability to record
so interestingly for posterity those engrossing minutiae of the
historic personalities and artistic greats of whom today’s world
only knows so little. Reading your book was like a window
being opened ever so slightly, permitting the reader to see and
feel how life was a century ago and how it touched so many
persons we still admire. I was mesmerized and am grateful to
you for enriching my life by affording me the opportunity to
read what your great grandaunt observed and felt.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Peggy O. Wolf
San Antonio, Texas
She left Hamburg “to see the world,” and as teacher, governess and companion she saw
most of Europe. The enchantment in the life of this courageous, independent woman
came from music and musicians. Piano lessons from Brahms, Ernst Wenzel and Clara
Schumann, participation in Brahms’ Women’s Chorus, and singing in Weimar under the
direction of Liszt were some of the highlights of her life.

When you order from Inge Kistler, you will be making
a $10 contribution to the North Shore Choral Society with each book purchased.

My heart is filled with sighing. I am longing for thy beauty. My misery is great.
Manda liet, manda liet, my sweetheart doest not come.
Thine eyes shine like the sun’s rays, like lightning flashes in the night.
Manda liet, manda liet, my sweetheart doest not come.
May God, may the gods look with favor on my desire to undo the bonds of her virginity.
Manda liet, manda liet, my sweetheart doest not come.

Their passions mount, and modesty disappears. An ineffable pleasure
pours through their limbs, their arms, their lips.

Sarah Tannehill, coloratura soprano, is a vibrant young singer known for her energetic flair and
her extreme sensitivity to the text. With the ability to portray a convincing young girl on stage,
Sarah has performed Flora in Britten’s The Turn of the Screw at both Opera Omaha and Fort Worth
Opera. Opera Theatre of St. Louis has presented Ms. Tannehill’s creation of the eerie literary
character, Young Estelle, in Dominick Argento’s Miss Havisham’s Fire as well as her lusty Papagena.
Ms. Tannehill’s list of roles also include Zerbinetta in Ariadne auf Naxos, a witty Susanna in Le
nozze di Figaro, and Constance in Poulenc’s Dialogues of the Carmelites. Ms. Tannehill made her
European debut in 2002, stepping in at the last minute to sing the sensual role of Frau in the world
premiere of The Panic, a contemporary chamber opera, with the Saarländisches Staatstheatre in
Saarbrücken, Germany. Equally at home with Symphony and concert, Ms. Tannehill recently sang
Carmina Burana with the Springfield (MO) Symphony. Oratorio work includes Handel’s Messiah,
Mendelssohn’s Elijah, Fauré’s Requiem, Haydn’s Creation, and numerous works of J. S. Bach.
Upcoming is Mozart’s Exsultate Jubilate with the Chicago Chamber Orchestra and the Queen of
the Night with Chicago Symphony Orchestra. In addition to her singing accomplishments,
Ms. Tannehill is proud of her three Emmy Awards for “Best Host in a Documentary Other Than the
News,” which she received for her work in the children’s education series titled The Missouri
Outdoors.
Mark James Meier, tenor, has brought his warm, versatile, and powerful voice and exuberant
stage presence to a wide array of popular stage roles and concerts at opera, musical theater, operetta
companies, and major symphony orchestras under such conductors as Sir Georg Solti, Christoph
Eschenbach, Peter Schreier, Erich Kunzel, and Anton Coppola. Mr. Meier’s frequent opera roles
include Pang in Turandot, Goro in Madama Butterfly, Basilio in Le Nozze di Figaro, Spalanzani in
Les Contes d’Hoffmann, and Tanzmeister in Ariadne auf Naxos with Chicago Opera Theater and
similar companies across the country. He has also played Che in Evita, the title characters in Jekyll
& Hyde, and both Eisenstein and Alfred in Die Fledermaus. He made his international debut as
Tony in West Side Story at the Music Festival of the Canary Islands. His wide concert repertoire
includes Handel’s Messiah, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, and his most repeated symphonic piece,
Orff’s Carmina Burana. He was a featured soloist in Sir Georg Solti’s Grammy award-winning
recording of Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg. Mr. Meier has also appeared on television
on Colorado’s CBS-Channel 4 broadcast of A Colorado Christmas and on ESPN’s Off Course with
Jesse Ventura. Mr. Meier is an established stage director for opera and musical theater, and as a
composer he recently enjoyed the world premiere of his new musical, The Ceiling.
Andrew Schultze, bass-baritone, is well known as an interpreter of the standard opera/oratorio

PROGRAM NOTES
by Donald Draganski
“Brahms and waltzes! The two words stare at each other in positive amazement
on the elegant title-page. The serious, taciturn Brahms, North-German, Protestant,
and unworldly as he is, writes waltzes!”
Thus the words of the Viennese critic Eduard Hanslick, as he reacted with delight to the composer’s
earlier set of waltzes for piano duet, op. 39. Hanslick’s comments are a bit disingenuous when one
considers that waltzes, particularly those produced by the Strauss family, were universally loved by
the Viennese, and at all levels of society. Even Wagner, who looked upon any contemporary composer
as a potential rival, had high words of praise for the dances of Johann Strauss. Brahms’s own
feelings were clearly shown at a ball he was attending. Strauss’s wife, Frau Adele, asked him to
autograph her fan. Brahms wrote out the opening notes of the Blue Danube Waltz, followed by the
words, “unfortunately not by Brahms.” That is high praise indeed.
In 1879 Brahms published his Liebeslieder-Waltzer. At the time he was composing them, he was
also engaged in editing some of the dance music of Schubert, particularly his Ländler, and one can
hear echoes of the earlier composer’s music. The texts that Brahms chose consist of eighteen
Eastern European folk poems, drawn from a collection of poems called Polydora by Georg Friedrich
Daumer (1800-1875). Although Brahms deferred to his publisher to have the set published as a
piano duet “with optional chorus,” there is little doubt that the composer intended it as a vocal work
from the start. The piece works just as well with a solo quartet as with a full chorus, depending on
its venue, whether as chamber music or in a concert hall.
***
Much of what we know about the more profane aspects of Medieval life comes to us from the
manuscript of Carmina Burana (“Songs of Beuren”) which was discovered at the monastery of
Benedikbeuren in 1803 and published in 1847. This collection of poems was probably written and
collected around 1230 in Carinthia (now Kärnten, the area around Salzburg and eastern Bavaria).
It includes moral-satirical poems, love poems, and poems of camaraderie and drinking. These
verses were written variously by foot-loose monks, out-of-work clerics, and hell-bent students.
The members of this motley crew called themselves the Ordo Vagorum (Guild of Wanderers) and
fabricated as their founder and patron saint an imaginary individual called Golias. “These Goliards,”
fulminated the Council of Salzburg in 1281, “go about in public naked, lie in bake ovens, frequent
taverns, games, harlots, earn their bread by their vices, and cling with obstinacy to their sect.”
More to the point, many of the poems of these self-styled Goliards are mocking in tone and are
brutally frank in pointing out the defects and injustices of the Medieval Church and State; thus it is
not surprising that the Goliards frequently ran afoul of those in authority.
Although Carmina Burana is an unabashedly secular work, one senses the pervasive presence of
the Medieval Church hovering behind the caprine verses, for irreverence is pointless without Faith.
As G. K. Chesterton says, “Wherever you have belief you will have hilarity, where you have hilarity
you will have some dangers.”

Carl Orff (born 1895 in Munich, died there in 1982) chose twenty-four of the poems for his scenic
cantata. Its complete title is: Carmina Burana: Cantiones profanae cantoribus et choris cantandae
comitantibus instrumentis atque imaginibus magicis (“Songs of Beuren; Profane Songs to be Sung
by Singers and Chorus, and Accompanied by Instruments and Magical Images”). Orff began work
on the piece in 1935 and completed it in time for its premiere two years later in Frankfurt. The
work was originally staged as a Medieval mystery play, with costumes, dancing and pantomime.
The Cantata opens with the FORTUNA chorus, describing fate as a wheel that brings cruelty and
prosperity by turns. This is followed by the section entitled PRIMO VERE (In Springtime), a soundpicture of the season of rebirth. Within the Spring section are the dance scenes UF DEM ANGER (On
the Lawn), which incorporate actual Bavarian folk dances.
After the peasant Spring feast comes IN TABERNA (In the Tavern), the most theatrical and orgiastic
part of the work, with singers singing drunken psalmody in falsetto voices, parodying the excesses
of Italian opera.

The opening of Part Three, COUR D’AMOURS (The Court of Love) has a freshness and directness that
contrasts with the sensuality of the preceding section. The dance-song “Tempus est jocundum”
leads into the Dionysiac BLANZIFLOR ET HELENA, an appeal to Venus, the Goddess of Love. The
work closes with a repeat of the FORTUNA chorus.
Today’s performance presents the work in concert version, with Orff’s orchestra reduced to two
pianos and percussion – a reduction the composer himself authorized for scaled-down performances.
As a postscript, let me relate the circumstances surrounding a performance of Carmina presented a
few years ago at a fundamentalist Southern college that I shall refrain from naming. The music
students there were considerably more worldly than were the more pious members of the
administration, and naturally the choristers were quite aware of what the piece is all about. Through
a convenient and carefully engineered “misunderstanding” at the print shop, the English translation
inserts for the program were not ready in time for the performance. Deluded by the respectablesounding Latin and its association with church liturgy, the profoundly devout audience sat through
the performance, insensible to the revels lurking behind the words. Afterwards, the rectors
complimented all concerned on the fervor and uplift of the performance. A good time, as they say,
was had by all.

During its seventy years, the North Shore Choral Society has counted among its singers
a number of married couples. Here are three of those couples who are current NSCS
members.
Judy and Dave Taylor have sung in choruses since they were first married, beginning
in the North Shore Baptist Church and later in the North Shore Choral Society, where
they served in various positions before becoming president (Dave) and treasurer
(Judy). (The word went out that if the Taylors ever took an expensive vacation, call
in the auditors.) Due to time constraints, the Taylors dropped out—but returned in
2000 and have been singing ever since. They are also members of the choir at
Evanston’s First Presbyterian Church.
After graduating from Denison University with a major in French, Judy moved to
Chicago, where she was secretary to the Associate Dean at Northwestern University
Medical School. She met Dave four years later by following her mother’s advice to
“go to church; you’ll meet a nice young man.” A native Chicagoan, Dave received
degrees in chemistry from North Park University and the University of Chicago. He
then taught chemistry at Evanston Township High School for 38 years and invested
in real estate on the North Shore. The Taylors have a daughter, who is a doctor, a
son, who is an electrical engineer, and three grandchildren. Dave’s enthusiasm for
automobiles has led to leadership in several car clubs (for example, he’s chairman of
the USA Mid-West Region of the Bentley Drivers Club); Judy helps out with the
administrative details.
When their families moved just a block away from each other in a Philadelphia
suburb, Betsy and Bruce Gladfelter first became acquainted. They began dating in
high school and continued throughout college in spite of an hour and a half commute
between Trinity College in Hartford (Bruce) and Connecticut College in New London

(Betsy). Both sang with their high school and college choirs. Since neither Trinity nor
Connecticut was co-ed at that time, each enjoyed concerts with other colleges in the area:
Bruce with Wellesley, Smith, Mount Holyoke and other women’s schools, and Betsy with
Yale and Trinity (though Bruce had already graduated). They began singing with the North
Shore Choral Society in 1990; for the past two years, Bruce has been in charge of major
mailings to NSCS patrons.
After coming to the Midwest in 1964, Bruce completed his graduate work at the University
of Chicago and joined the University of Illinois-Chicago as a professor of geography and
anthropology. In 1999, he retired after serving as the head of the Department of Geography
for seven years. Betsy is still active as a realtor with Coldwell Banker in Wilmette. The
Gladfelters have two children: a daughter, who is pursuing a second career at the U of C’s
School of Social Administration as well as teaching piano, and a son in the rock music
industry here in Chicago.
They met in a dance ensemble, the International Dancers, a local group that performed
world dances in the Chicago area and around the United States. From this beginning, the
dance activities of Mars and Sanna Longden blossomed to include leading the Evanston
Monday Night Folk Dance Group, performing in Macedonia and Hungary with another
ensemble, and teaching dance on four cruises and in Spain. They also teach dances of the
classical music repertoire to piano teacher organizations and offer private ballroom dance
lessons.

In addition to teaching world dance throughout North America and beyond (think Taiwan),
Sanna launched FolkStyle Productions, a business that includes her line of DVD/Videos,
CDs, and other world dance materials-including her book, Cultures & Styling in Folk Dance.
Besides being the business manager for FolkStyle Productions and a dance assistant, Mars
is a source of live dance music with his accordion, which he also teaches. He has sung with
various opera and light opera companies, most recently La Traviata with L’Opera Piccola.
In his other life, Mars is a semi-retired financial planner, not seeking new business but
retaining existing customers
The Longdens sing side by side in the tenor section of the North Shore Choral Society,
which they joined in 1995 (Mars) and 1996 (Sanna). Last year, they produced the Society's
most successful ever benefit and silent auction, which netted over $14,500.
