At Concert Said Excellent By STANLEY BUTLEK ' Assistant Professor of Music, Willamette University The Salem' Junior Symphony Orchestra played a concert of at tractive and excellent music last evening at Leslie Junior High School. Dr. William Swettman, Director of Music in Salem public schools led the youthful orchestra in a I comfortably commanding manner. ! The music chosen was nothing less than the best How hearten ing, is such a choice! The en tire program,; with the exception of the opening Mozart Overture, was based on folk music, which is loved by people of all back grounds. It was commendable that, ex cept for the Dvorak; Sinfonietta, we heard the folk tunes and dances as they were originally set. Dvorak needs no introduc tion. St Paul's Suite On rugged English melodies was written by Hoist, a famous English composer of recent times.. Daring, Fitting It was daring, and fitting, to have i two compositions by the contemporary; American compos ers, Copland and McKay, in cop land's setting of the ballad "John Henry'' the " orchestration sug gested numerous realistic effects, among them the famous Negro's "hammah" strokes and the wheezing steam drill. Dr. Swettman conducted with fine precision. He had a concern for the contour of the phrases; he showed an understanding of musical form, as he made' con vincing bridge passages. Dr. Swettman is a valuable addition to the musical leadership of Salem. Talents Joined The 62 members of the orches tra molded their talents together 4n an admirable way. Doubtless, as they play longer together the players will gain in courage, and the various choirs will become more accustomed to performing with each other. The group prom ises to have an important place in the musical life of our com munity. In ; a brief talk. Dr. Swettman gave i credit to his colleagues in the public schools for the prepa ration of the concert, singling out Victor Palmason, Director of Mu sic at South Salem High School.
