Emerald Writer Chronicles Traffic Through Tunnel 13 As Bach Leaves The Starting Gate 18 Minutes Late By .11M F1BU« F.merald Feature Writer Unlucky Tunnel 13 processed an unbelievable amount of in concert pedestrian traffic but failed to spoil a memorable music evening at McArthur Court Tues day evening. Attracted by the free admission policy, a group of unsophisticates shuttled 24 times in or out of the lone lighted tunnel fully vis ible behind the performers to an audience of approximately 3000. UNDISMAYED by this juve nile conduct, the Portland Sym phony Orchestra and 171 vocal ists tackled the Mac Court acous tical jinx with pleasant results. Their polished program combined the classic ‘Three B's” to pre sent, in order: J. S. Bach—Cantata No. 53, “Schlage doeh gewunschte Btunde" (Strike thou hour). Brahms—Rhapsodic op. 53 (Goethe) Beethoven—Symphony No. 9 in D minor. Op. 125. Fifteen minutes past the 8:30 scheduled start, the 10 instru-j mentalists. accompanying Shirley Verrett-Carter in the Bach work, were still warming up. Miss Car ter waited: the audience waited. Somebody muttered “Schlage doch gewunschte Stunde.” Somehow, “Strike thou hour” never seemed more appropriate. Finally, the double quintet and Bach left the starting gate 18 minutes late. The musicians made up with melody what they lacked in promptness. Once under way, they blended an aural treat to please the most discerning. Neither instruments nor con tralto showed any tonal loss in the reputed sound-swallowing Mac Court. Acoustics at the house of basketball were, if any thing, too good. Each rude step by late comers and early de partees was amplified to dis traction. JOHANN' SEBASTIAN’S Can tata was done in ten minutes and i an appreciative audience gave the 11 performers prolonged ap plause. The larger, full orchestra stepped out of the shadows and j tuned up quickly. With conductor Piero Bellugi now handling the reins, Brahms cleared the post at: 9:04. Two minutes later, during the j dramatic rest preceding Miss Verrett-Carter’s first Rhapsodic j utterance, the Tunnel 13 teen agers again rattled the stairs in rural rudeness. They were drowned out by the University's male chorus which performed with distinction to share pro longed applause at 9:19. UO's musicmen had attractive SORORITY and FRATERNITY Group Pictures MADE PROFESSIONALLY by The FEHLY STUDIO Please Phone DI 4-3432 Henry D. Fehly, M.Photog. | company at 9:43 when internals* ! sion ended with Opus 125. Clad i* | black, like all the non-soloists, 1 cow after lovely row of the girls ' section sat in the Bast bleachers. And they sat, and sat, and sat. Bathed by six floodlights, the i attractive distractions faced the ! audience for 49 minutes through 1 Allegro, molto, adagio, andante ; and 10:30 dorm closing hours. For the uninitiated, who had ' read somewhere that the "chorus ■ will perform Beethoven’s Ninth ‘ Symphony," 43 minutes seemed 1 like lengthy instrumental pre j Hide for a vocal main course. After 15 minutes of such sus ! pense, Tunnel 13 traffic was ; heavy again. The second move j ment’s subtle stringing was ac companied by a hallway percus | sion unit of trashcan topplers. THItKE MOVEMENTS passed without a peep by the UO chorus. Seven minutes through the fourth movement, the local singers sud denly stood up for their oral kickoff. It was 10:32 and they were to perform nine minutes be fore the dramatic ringing close at 10:19. A happy audience, having heard professional Beethoven crafts manship, maintained four min-1 utes of applause ably assisted by the chorus itself. Called back again and again were conductor Bellugi and his four sterling solo ists: Miss Verrett-Cartcr, so prano Brunetta Mazzolini, tenor Dean Lieber, and bass Donald Drain. Culture had come for a night to Oregon's second market and the inmates of Tunnel 13. I Campus Briefs • World Affairs Week Committee will meet today at noun in the SI*.
