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.

! 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.
