University Theatre production opens tonight
‘Romeo’ composer tries for romantic style
In 1980, Johnathan Mansfield was cast
as “Greta,” a drag queen who owned a
cabaret in Germany during World War II,
in the University Theatre production of
“Bent.”
According to Mansfield, the script
called for Greta to sing a song. “But,” he
says, “there was no music provided, so I
talked to the director, Bob Barton, and
said, 'Why don't I just write
something?’ “
Mansfield says he recorded a piano ac
companiment for himself, and it worked
out so well that he and Barton decided to
extend the project. Mansfield then wrote
and recorded the incidental music for
the entire show — “a series of little
piano pieces, real simple, basic stuff."
Since then, Mansfield, now 22, has
composed break and incidental music
for University productions of “Dracula,”
the award-winning original play “Excur
sion Fare,” and currently. “Romeo and
Juliet,” which opens this evening at
Robinson Theatre and will continue its
run for three consecutive weekends. He
also was instrumental in composing the
music for many of the pieces in “The
Last Dragon,” and has served as musical
director or accompanist for several other
University community productions.
Mansfield says that “Dragon” was a
turning point for him in his music. “I
began to feel that I was finding a little
niche for myself (as a musician in the
theater department),” he says. “About
that time I started really pursuing music
seriously and blowing off a lot of my
other classes. . not blowing off, really,
but realizing that I was much more in
terested in music and theater than study
ing literature or economics, or
whatever."
With “Dracula,” Mansfield started ex
perimenting with what he calls “in
cidental music” — musical interludes
that underscore the action and dialogue
during the play.
Mansfield says that since “Dracula” is
in the tradition of “19th century roman
ticism, as far as the theater style goes,”
he had the opportunity to work with a
style of music that was “romantic, but in
a 20th century sense.”
“That’s one of the approaches I’ve
taken to the music for ‘Romeo and
Juliet,’ ” he says, adding, “It’s not
romantic in the sense of Beethoven or
Tchaikovsky, but it’s kind of my ap
proach to romantism.”
Mansfield claims as his influences
such diverse artists and composers as
J. S. Bach, Phillip Glass, Steve Reich,
Laurie Anderson, Steven Sonheim, Ber
nard Herman and The Talking Heads.
“Most of the contemporary people that
I admire have a real theatrical sense” to
both the composition and the perfor
mance of their music, says Mansfield.
A native of Medford, Mansfield moved
to Eugene in 1980. He says that he is
looking forward to moving on and com
posing music for productions in other
markets. Someday, he says, he might
like to compose film scores and other
types of music.
But he’s happy where he is, too. “I
want to be able to learn as much as I can
from a place like Eugene, and there’s
still a lot of things I can learn here... a
lot of things.”

Juliet,” call 686-4191.

— n.il,. t'
Being pan of the U S. Army Rangers is one of the
proudest assignments in the Army.
It’s also one of the toughest.
To say Ranger training is rigorous is an
understatement. You have to be airborne-qualified
before you're accepted. If you are. you'll experience
some of the most physically demanding, emotionally
exhausting and mentally challenging
training the Anny has to offer.
As you can see. becoming a
Ranger isn't easy. And for good
reason. The state of mind that exists
in the Ranger Battalion is WE ARE READY NOW!
You have to prepared for just about anything.
Because you never know when you'll be airlifted at
night for a 1.300-foot jump into a tropical jungle or
onto a snow-covered plain.
As a Ranger, you il learn to survive and function
under the most extreme conditions. You'll accept
RANGERS
danger as a constant companion.
You'll act as the eyes of the Army, probing deep into
enemy territory on long-range reconnaissance
missions.
Regardless of your destination, your mission will
be the same: to establish a command post and handle
any situation you might encounter. Swiftly. Effec
tively. Decisively.
After you complete Ranger School
and receive your distinctive Ranger
tab, you can report back to your
regular unit or to a Ranger unit.
Either way, you'll have the pride and satisfaction
of know ing you had what it takes.
You're one-of-a-kind soldier. You’re a Ranger.
