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.

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? -William W. McIver Josh Alexander (Balthazar), baritone, is a member of the UNCG Chorale and Madrigal Singers and is a Junior Vocal Performance major from Chapel Hill.

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.
