...small help comes from Tharon Musser's lighting, which extends to the use of real on-stage flambeaux. In one scene (the fake trial of Lear's daughters) she effectively uses orange underlighting through a trapdoor in stage center. Conrad Susa has composed fitting music for woodwind, brass, and percussion; its discords reflect the play's dissonant world...
...hence the subtitle "a pastoral symphony." Ginastera is without doubt an excellent anthologist; in the second movement of the three movement work, for example, he uses the percussive sonorities of the piano well, and sustains attractively the drive which he establishes. However, menthol-fresh flutes and oh-so-moving woodwind duos run riot in the first and third movements. On his own terms Ginastera is good; but what good are his terms...
...exhibits, which are also placed in G-Tower and Old Library, will be open for the rest of the week, and there will be a woodwind quintet concert this Sunday. First-prize winner was Anne Lilley Kerr '63, with a painting entitled "Dance." Second-prize winners were Laura McDill '64 and David Stein '64, Tony Poze '65, and Daniel del solar '63 were the third-prize winners...
...marred by more than rain. At a slackening, when the performance was due to start, a gentleman in contemporary street clothes, presumably Mr. John Ellerton Lodge, who composed the excellent music of the drama for men's voices to the accompaniment of woodwind instruments, came out from Agamemnon's palace doors carrying a pan of incense to lay on the altar where it might now be lighted with some hope that it would smoke. His foot slipped on the rain-greased altar step and went right through the marble, a canvas flap of which went on fluttering in the breeze...
...Duble's Bravura concert march, a piece which was ideally suited to demonstrate the excellence of the band's brasses, Walker attempted a reading of three selections from Moussorgsky's Boris Godounov. The march had excited the audience, the band's Boris immediately let them down. Exposed woodwind passages were occasionally sloppy, intonation in the cornets wavered, and the pace dragged. Variations on a Shaker Melody by Copland was marred by dissonances Copland never intended, and the first half of the program ended somewhat dully with Rimsky-Korsakov's Procession of Nobles, despite displays of virtuosity by the brasses...
