2002-11-15 Amahl and the Night Visitors [recital program]

              The UNCG School of Music has been recognized for years as one of the elite music institutions in
the United States. Fully accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music since 1938,
the School offers the only comprehensive music program from undergraduate through doctoral
study in both performance and music education in North Carolina. From a total population of
approximately 12,700 university students, the UNCG School of Music serves over 575 music
majors with a full-time faculty and staff of sixty. As such, the UNCG School of Music ranks
among the largest Schools of Music in the South.
The UNCG School of Music now occupies a new 26 million dollar music building which is among
the finest music facilities in the nation. In fact, the new music building is the largest academic
building on the UNCG Campus. A large music library with state-of-the-art playback, study and
research facilities houses all music reference materials. Greatly expanded classroom, studio,
practice room, and rehearsal hall spaces are key components of the new structure. Two new
recital halls, a large computer lab, a psychoacoustics lab, electronic music labs, and recording
studio space are additional features of the new facility. In addition, an enclosed multi-level
parking deck adjoins the new music building to serve students, faculty and concert patrons.
Living in the artistically thriving Greensboro—Winston-Salem—High Point “Triad” area, students
enjoy regular opportunities to attend and perform in concerts sponsored by such organizations as
the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra, the Greensboro Opera Company, and the Eastern Music
Festival. In addition, UNCG students interact first-hand with some of the world’s major artists who
frequently schedule informal discussions, open rehearsals, and master classes at UNCG.
Costs of attending public universities in North Carolina, both for in-state and out-of-state students,
represent a truly exceptional value in higher education.

The Story of Amahl
Amahl is a crippled shepherd boy of twelve who lives with his mother, an impoverished
widow, in a nearly empty hut. They face a bleak future with little food to eat or wood for fire.
The three Wise Men, on their way to Bethlehem, stop at the hut and request lodging for the
night. Amahl and his mother welcome them and offer to share what little they have. They
are astonished at the splendor of the Kings' robes and the gifts being brought to the
newborn child, whom the mother, in her mind, identifies with her own son. The shepherds,
led by Amahl, approach and offer gifts and dances for the Kings. Following the departure of
the shepherds, all retire for the night. The mother sings of the unfairness of the gifts going
to a child who the Kings do not know, when she has a child who is starving. Under cover of
darkness, while the three Kings are asleep, the mother steals some of the gold and is
caught in the act by the Page. Amahl awakens and comes to her defense, beating on the
Page and urging Kaspar, one of the Kings, to intercede. Kaspar orders the Page to release
the mother, and Melchior says that she may keep the gold since the Child they seek has no
need of it. The mother is moved by Melchior's description of the Child and returns the gold
while lamenting that she does not have a gift of her own to give. Amahl offers his crutch
which he lifts and, in so doing, takes a step without it. The Kings give thanks to God for this
miracle, and Amahl convinces his mother that he should go with the Kings to present the
crutch to the Child himself. As dawn approaches, Amahl sets off with the Kings, and, as the
procession moves away, he plays on his pipe the tune with which the opera began.
Notes
What accounts for the popularity of Amahl over fifty years after its premiere on NBC
television on December 24, 1951? It continues to receive more performances than almost
any other standard or contemporary opera. I would imagine that the circumstances under
which it was first presented have something to do with its continuing popularity. Rather than
a premiere attended by a few hundred or even several thousand, the Hallmark Hall of Fame
was watched by millions in 1951 and the following seven years when the opera was given
live televised performances. Few, if any, operas have been afforded such a launching. But
beyond that first decade, it has continued to hold the imagination of a public, that, I suspect,
wants desperately to believe the opera's essential message of hope. Amahl's crippled leg
does not prevent his portrayal as one to whom both parents and children can relate and
empathize. The widowed mother's unswerving love for her son, even in the midst of poverty
and his tendency to fabricate stories, is as poignant and relevant today as when it was
written. Certainly the opera's brevity and reduced forces expand both the potential
audience, through its appeal to children, and the number of groups that can successfully
mount a production of Amahl. But beyond these factors, I remain convinced that Gian-Carlo
Menotti has fashioned a miniature masterpiece that holds our attention dramatically and lifts
our spirits musically ... all around a central theme that suggests that it is through giving that
we receive. Do you believe in miracles?
