Part 20 TBI CAPITAL JOURNAL. Salem, Orccoa ' Wednesday November 18, 1953 Critical Audience Approves Portland Symphony Music It ii regrettable that the Portland svmphnny orchestra U to make but single appear ance in Salem this season, for the performance ol the musi cian from the metropolii, un der the expert guidance of Arthur Fiedler, at the Salem high achool auditorium Tues day night, wu all that any critical audience could ask. The program, featuring Han del, Haydn, Dvorak and Tschalkowsky, with musical novelty by Walter Piston thrown in for good measure, was well balanced, and not By FRED ZIMMERMAN too difficult for the average lis tener. Those present tor the symphonic treat constituted about the average-sized Salem audience for a program of this nature probably not suffi cient to warrant return en gagement The "Royal Firework Music" suite by Handel, originally written for an orchestra of 40 trumpets, 20 horns, 16 oboes, 18 bassoons, S sets of kettle drums and flutes and fifes, was later recast by Sir Hamilton Harty for the modem sym phony group. It was entirely pleasing, especially the "men- uetto". One could speculate concerning the production when given under the original score. The "Symphony No. 81 in C Major" was a typical Haydn production lovely in its mel ody and the variations that were introduced during the four parts. "The Incredible Flutist" by Piston, native of Maine, is a descriptive number that intro duces the talents of the entire orchestra. It was composed for presentation during a Bos ton Pops orchestra program by Fiedler in 1038. The "arrival of the circus" portion was en livened by whistles and calls from the orchestra personnel, who entered into the situation with considerable enthusiasm. Two Slavonic dances by Dvorak, and Tachaikowsky's "Caprice io Italics", concluded the evening's performance in spite of continued efforts ef the audience for an encore. The dance No. T in C minor, one of tin more familiar works of the Prague-born composer, with its contrasting moods, may well have been the high spot of the evening, although the Tschaikowsky number that concluded the performance, de scribed as a "bundle of Italian folk songs", most certainly could not be overlooked. Conductor Fiedler, who re sponded to repested curtain calls, succeeded in drawing the best from his musicians with out resorting to violent gestures.
