HERBERT CECIL Head of Music Department Southern Oregon College The second concert of the Britt Music Festival, present ed at 8 p.m. Tuesday, saw the Festival orchestra and its conductor, John T r u d e a u wearing off some of the rough edges that were evidenced in their opening concert on Sun day, Aug. 11 There were undoubtedly a few "opening day jitters" in the first concert because last night's concert found both orchestra and conductor more relaxed and the ensemble sound much improved The program opened again with Ernie Hood's very effec- IIN PORTLAND I 12 ' WITH THIS I COUPON !

Following the fanfare was Bach's Brand enburg Concerto No. 1 in F Major. Bach wrote six com positions in the form of the Baroque concerto grosso and dedicated them to the Mar grave of Brandenburg in 1721. In the concerto grosso a small group of solo instru ments called the concertino are aided and abetted by the strings of the orchestra. Bach used a different group of solo instruments in each of his Brandenburg concerti and the first one calls for a con certino of two horns, three oboes, a bassoon, and a solo violin. The soloists last eve ning were Russell White and Daniel Havens, horns; Peter Christ, Pat Mills, and Doug las Zeh, oboes; Gordon Solie, bassoon; and Charles Heiden, violin. As we have already learned to expect from the Festival orchestra, the soloists were all excellent with a spe cial accolade due hornist Rus sell White. Trumpet Soloist The second number last night presented trumpet solo ist James Smith in a perfor mance of Haydn's Concerto in E Flat for trumpet and or chestra. This work was com posed in 1796, which is not particularly interesting except for the fact that the first trumpets with valves were not made until about 25 years later. Haydn wrote the con certo for an instrument which had four keys somewhat like the keys on a clarinet or saxo phone of the present time. The piece is difficult enough for a player using a modern trumpet but the difficulties must have been tremedous for a player of the keyed trumpet of 1796. Mr. Smith is a master of his instrument. His tone is even and beautifully control led throughout the entire range and he surmounts the difficult passages with an ease which speaks for the countless hours of practice which have enabled him to attain the mastery he possess es. Following the intermission Mr. Smith was heard again in "The Hollow Men," writ- GATES OPEN 7:45 P.M.

The Homicide It (She Seiad) JOHi ten for solo trumpet and string orchestra by Vincent Persichetti. Persichetti is an American composer of the present time, having been born in 1915 in Philadelphia and is now on the composition staff of the Juilliard School of Music in New York City. "The Hollow Men" was composed in 1946 and receiv. ed its inspiration from T. S. Eliot's poem of the same name. The composition is somewhat reminiscent of a composition written in 1940 by Aaron Copland called "Quiet City," also for solo trumpet and strings. "The Hollow Men" is somewhat nostalgic in character, bas ically lyric in form and an other example of good 20th century American music. The final selection on last night's concert was the Han-del-Harty "Water Music Suite". Since it was also play ed at the opening concert, this writer did not stay to hear it again. An Excellent Start The concert last night dem onstrated that the Britt Fes tival is off to an excellent start. A couple of suggestions could be made to help things along a little. Perhaps a spot light could be set up over head someplace to illumine the solists. Mr. Smith was barely distinguishable and his face was not discernible at all. Audiences the world over do not interrupt compound movement selections with ap plause between movements. Mr. Trudeau should educate his Britt Festival audiences to follow this tradition. He can do so with his baton. Actually it is a tradition based on sound logic because a con certo is not three separate ideas musically; it is one idea broken into segments similar to paragraphs or chapters in our written language. One final (and we hope it is a human) complaint. The pro gram lists about three col umns of credits for work done and materials donated to help the Festival get under way There is an apology to those that were omitted; however, by far the most expensive single piece of equipment to the Festival is the Steinway grand piano loaned by the music department of Southern Oregon college. We did not receive a men. tion in the program so your writer humbly begs leave to point out that the SOC Music Department is willing to back the Festival (with the blessing of President Stevenson) by letting our pride and joy sit out-of-doors for three weeks when the Steinway instruc tion manual plainly says "Whatever you do with your Steinway, guard it from ex tremes of temperatures and humidity changes!" This is the final review which will be submitted by this writer for the Festival. We wish them well during the remainder of the season and hope that the project can continue to grow and flourish.
