This month WFIU begins a new season of broadcasts from one of the top opera companies in the country—the Lyric Opera of Chicago.

The May 29th broadcast is of Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor. The composer based his opera on a popular novel

by Sir Walter Scott, and every minute crackles with drama. The composer’s succession of bravura vocal thrills (including the famous mad scene) makes for a memorable theatrical experience.

Set in Scotland, the opera’s main characters are Lucia and Edgardo, who are desperately in love.

But their two clans are bitter rivals, so Lucia’s villainous brother Enrico sets out to kill his young sister’s romance. He uses every device he can muster— including lies, forgery, and finally the false revelation of Edgardo’s infidelity.

Little wonder that Lucia is mentally Brian Mulligan as Enrico and Susanna Phillips as Lucia in crushed, driven to the Lyric Opera of Chicago’s production madness and murder before she dies of a broken heart.

Soprano Susanna Phillips, who portrays Lucia of Lammermoor, says her biggest challenge is “finding a realistic madness.”

“Lucia’s constantly beaten down by her brother and shut down by society. In mixed company she has no voice. Edgardo is the only one who listens to her, and it’s only through her madness that everyone else finally listens. She finds the one place she can truly express herself. It is, for her, reality, not craziness.”

Famed Italian tenor Giuseppe Filianoti, who plays Lucia’s love Edgardo of Ravenswood, has a long relationship with Donizetti roles.

“Donizetti serves as a touchstone for good singing,” Filianoti says.

“His music is like a massage for the vocal cords, even if it is very difficult to sing well. Edgardo represents the absolute romantic hero in Italian opera. It requires the tenor to sing with a voice that is both heroic and lyric, in the bel canto style. It contains some of the best arias written by Donizetti for tenor.”

The opera ends badly for the character, although gloriously for the singer, says Filianoti.

“Donizetti made the biggest gift he could give to a tenor, which is that he gave the final scene to Edgardo, giving him the ability to die sweetly in the manner of a hero condemned by destiny to a cruel end.”

That’s bel canto—illuminating even the darkest Scottish tragedy with radiant song.

The Thrilling Madness of Lucia di Lammermoor

Excerpts by Magda Krance reprinted courtesy of the Lyric Opera of Chicago Page 2 / Directions in Sound / May 2012

Bloomington 103.7 fm • Columbus 100.7 fm • French Lick/West Baden 101.7 fm

WFIU’s featured contemporary composer for the month of May is Paul Schoenfeld.

A native of Michigan, Schoenfeld began his musical life studying piano at the age of six and wrote his first composition the following year. He studied with Julius Chajes, Ozan Marsh, and Rudolf Serkin.

He completed his undergraduate work at Carnegie Mellon University and received a doctoral degree from the University of Arizona. Early in his career, he toured extensively as a pianist and chamber musician, both independently and as a representative of festivals including Music from Marlboro.

Paul Schoenfeld

As a composer, Schoenfeld has received numerous commissions from organizations including the National Endowment for the Arts, Chamber Music America, the Rockefeller Fund, American Composers Forum, the Juilliard School, Seattle Symphony, and the Cleveland Orchestra.

He is currently Professor of Composition at the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre and Dance.

Schoenfeld asserts that his music is inspired by the Jewish American experience and is not stylistically restricted to the realm of Western “art music.”

Examples of this inspiration include his piano quartet Carolina Reveille and Six Improvisations on Hassidic Melodies for piano. His interests extend into the study of mathematics, the Talmud, and Hebrew, which in turn influence his compositions.

His most widely heard compositions include Klezmer Rondos for flute and orchestra and Café Music for string trio.

WFIU will feature compositions by Paul Schoenfeld throughout the month of May.

Artist of the Month Radiolab Sundays at 11 a.m.

Radiolab, the series where sound illuminates ideas, begins a new thirteenweek season this month.

Featured Contemporary Composer

Atar Arad

WFIU’s featured performer for May is violist and IU Jacobs School of Music Professor Atar Arad.

Born in Tel Aviv, Arad began his musical studies on the violin. In 1968, he received a scholarship to La Chapelle Musicale de la Reine Elisabeth in Belgium.

Drawn to the rich sound of the viola, he changed instruments and in 1972 went on to receive both the City of London Prize at the Carl Flesch International Competition for Violin and Viola and first prize at the Geneva International Viola Competition.

He holds degrees in performance from the Brussels Conservatory and the Israeli Academy.

In 1980, Arad moved to the United States to become a member of the Cleveland String Quartet, with whom he toured extensively for seven years. Since then, he has served as an artist faculty member at the Aspen Music School and Festival, the Shepherd School of Music at Rice University, and Carnegie Mellon University. He is also active as a guest artist at universities and music festivals worldwide.

Arad is also a composer of works for viola and for string quartet, including his Sonata for Viola, which was inspired by the seventeenth century Nicolò Amati instrument he plays. He is also an author of numerous essays on the viola repertoire.

His recordings on the RCA, Teldec, Telarc, and RIAX labels are widely acclaimed as demonstrations of the highest level of virtuosity on the viola.

WFIU will feature performances by Atar Arad during the weekday morning program Classical Music with George Walker throughout the month of May.

Greensburg 98.9 fm • Kokomo 106.1 fm • Terre Haute 95.1 fm

What can machines tell us about being human? Co-hosts Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich meet humans and robots who try to connect. They visit with the world’s most advanced robot, meet a man who fell in love with a chatbot, and argue with the inventor of Furby over whether a toy can ever really be “alive.”

May 13 Games A good game—whether it’s a pro football playoff or a family showdown on the kitchen table—can make you feel, at least for a little while, like your whole life hangs in the balance. We explore why we get so invested in something so trivial.

What is it about games that make them feel so pivotal?

May 20 Loops So much of life is organized by cycles— seasons, biological rhythms, even our ideas of consciousness. In this episode, Radiolab looks at some of the surprising ways that loops steer our lives, and asks what happens when we disturb them.

May 27 Patient Zero The greatest mysteries sometimes have a shadowy figure at the center—someone who sets things in motion and holds the key to how the rest of the story unfolds.

In epidemiology, this central character is known as Patient Zero—the case at the heart of an outbreak. Radiolab hunts for Patient Zeroes from all over the map— from the origins of a blues legend, to the history of the high five, to a race to halt the spread of a deadly disease.

The Fatal Gift of Beauty by Nina Burleigh Airs: May 11 to June 11 The sexually violent murder of British student Meredith Kercher in Perugia, Italy became an international sensation in November 2007 when 20-year-old Seattle native Amanda Knox was one of the people put on trial for the crime.

The story drew an international cult obsessed with “Foxy Knoxy,” the pretty honor student on a junior year abroad, who either woke up one morning into a nightmare of superstition and misogyny— the dark side of Italy—or participated in something unspeakable.

The Fatal Gift of Beauty is journalist Nina Burleigh’s mesmerizing literary investigation of the murder, the controversial prosecution, Knox’s conviction, the machinations of Italian justice, and the underground depravity and clash of cultures in one of central Italy’s most beloved cities.

The investigation begins in the old stone cottage overlooking bucolic olive groves where Kercher’s body was found in her locked bedroom. It winds through the shadowy, arched alleys of Perugia, a city of art that is also a magnet for tens of thousands of students who frequent its bars, clubs, and drug bazaar on the steps of the Duomo. It climaxes in an up-close account of Italy’s dysfunctional legal system, and the prosecution’s thunderous final appeal to God. The Fatal Gift of Beauty is a compelling examination of a disquieting facet of Italian culture: an obsession with female eroticism. At its core is an indelible portrait of Amanda Knox, who became the focal point of international speculation about the shadow side of youth and freedom.

The ensemble played a pioneering role in the resurgence of interest in the French musical world for 17th and 18th century repertoire that had been neglected, but which now is more widely performed.

Jazz at Lincoln Center offers up the distinctive sound of the Yellowjackets, an American jazz fusion/smooth jazz quartet, on May 25th. Formed in 1977 by a group of veteran Los Angeles session musicians, the group has since produced more than twenty recordings.

Smart Planning for Maximum Benefits Most people make philanthropic gifts to help causes they believe in and to leave a legacy, and not primarily to receive tax benefits. But with prudent planning, you make a philanthropic gift and maximize the amount of your tax savings.

If you’re considering making a gift of stock, for example, keep in mind that securities and other types of property that have increased in value over time are still generally deductible at full fair market value.

If you itemize, you may be able to deduct not only what you paid for the securities, but also the “paper profit” in the investment.

If you donate publicly traded stocks you’ve owned for more than one year to a qualified charitable organization such as WFIU, you may completely bypass capital gains tax that would have become payable if you sell the securities instead of donating them for charitable purposes. Consequently, gifts of appreciated property or securities may produce a double tax benefit and can often be made at a much lower after-tax cost than a comparable gift of cash.

What about securities that have dropped in value? Consider selling any investment that has declined in value, then donate the cash proceeds from the sale. The tax deductible loss combined with the charitable deduction for your gift may result in a higher tax deduction than the investment’s current value. The desired effect of the deductible loss, combined with a charitable gift, minimizes the financial effect of the loss and maximizes the gift.

For legal or tax advice, always consult with your financial advisor or attorney before you decide to sell stock or to make a gift. For more information, contact Nancy Krueger, Gifts and Grants Officer at RadioTelevision Services, at 812-855-2935 or nkrueger@indiana.edu.

Benedict Cumberbatch (l) as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as Dr. Watson

Masterpiece: Mystery! Sherlock, Series 2 Sundays at 9 p.m.

The dynamic if dysfunctional duo of Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch, War Horse) and Dr. John Watson (Martin Freeman, The Hobbit), battles the worst that modern criminality has to offer, including a computer-savvy villain who wants to rule the world and a hound from the depths of Hell. Each episode in the new season is pegged to a classic Sherlock Holmes story

by Arthur Conan Doyle—weirdly and wittily updated.

A Scandal in Belgravia May 6 Picking up from last season’s gripping conclusion, Sherlock and Watson are plunged into a case of blackmail involving crafty dominatrix Irene Adler, whose motto is “know when you are beaten.” It seems she has incriminating photos of a session with a British royal. Can she outsmart Sherlock at his own game—and at a battle he is ill-prepared to wage: love?

The Hounds of Baskerville May 13 Sherlock and Watson pursue the trail of the Baskerville experiments—top-secret government research on genetically engineered gigantic animals for military use.

Or so it is rumored. Whatever the truth, something big is up on the moors.

The Reichenbach Fall May 20 In what may be the climactic case of his career, Sherlock faces Moriarty’s diabolical plot to “get Sherlock,” which begins innocently enough when the criminal mastermind breaks into the Crown Jewels. As the scheme unfolds, Moriarty poses the “final problem,” and a tabloid reporter reveals the shocking truth about the great detective.
