will be formulated for the

Concerts by Orchestra Reviewed;
Trumpet Player, Flutist Praised
By R. D. WERNER
Friday afternoon at the
Peter Britt Gardens in Jack
sonville the Music and Fine
Arts festival association pre
sented the Festival Players in
program of 17th, 18th, and
19th century chamber music.
This music was all written to
be played In a small hall or
large room for a select audi
ence. It is intimate music and
consequently limited in sta
ture. The first place by Telle
mann was a concerto a tre
in F major. It comprised three
movements - Allegro moder
ato, Loure (a dance) and Tem
po di Menuet. The players
were Arthur Perrow, record
er; Russell White, French
horn; and Beverly LeBeck,
cello.
The choice of instruments
was anything but happy to
say the least. All of the real
music of the piece was for the
recorder, which at best is a
very weak instrument. Cou
pled with a cello and horn the
balance was evident only by
its absence. Tellemann is hav
ing a revival of sorts these
days but he is, and was, defi
nitely a second-rater. He is in
teresting to musicologists in
the same way that old letters
are interesting to a biograph
er; much ado about nothing.
In attempting to achieve a
balance Mr. Perrow overblew
his instrument, causing it to
go sharp. The others for the
same reason underplayed
their instruments, there b y
losing much in sonority.
Violinist Playi
An overture (suite) b y
Schultze in which Charles Hei-
den, concertmaster of the or
chestra, replaced the horn was
next, This is also second rate
music by a harmless old Ger
man composer and is in seven
parts - Prelude, Rigaudon,
Passepied, Aria, Menuet,
March and Gigue. As in the
Tellemann, all the music was
in the recorder part. The vio
linist and the cellist tried
bravely to make music of
what they had but it just was
not there.
After intermission a trio for
piano, violin and horn by
Johannes Brahms was played
by Margaret Moore, piano;
Charles Heiden, violin; and
Mr. White, French horn. It is
in four movements titled An
dante, Scherzo, Adagio mesto
and Finale (Allegro con brio).
Brahms, of course, is con
sidered universally as being a
genius of the first order al
though he only claimed to be
a craftsman. Composers of
piano music have tried many
combinations of other instru
ments to go with their piano
music but have never found
one that excels the one which
includes violin and cello.
Of High Order
The music for this trio Is
of a very high order composed
by a master but it lacks bot
tom, that bottom which the
cello can supply. Because of
the problem of the sun, the
players were placed against
the back of the shell and the
beautiful work of Miss Moore
was lost. This lady can play
the piano with great delicacy
and has great control over the
tonal nuances, but even on a
concert grand piano her case
was hopeless. Perhaps a par
tial opening of the lid may
have helped.
Mr. Heiden played with fine
feeling and warm tone but
was overplayed by the horn.
Many times Mr. White was
too strong and his tone was
too much on the orchestral
side.
But the audience knew,
bless 'em, as all audiences
know, great and good music
when they hear it. They may
not be able to tell you just
what it is but you can't fool
them. They liked Mr. Brahms
and the way it was played.
The players had to respond
three times to the applause.
Friday Reviewed
For the Friday evening con
cert at the Britt Music Festi
val, as it is now being called,
the orchestra returned to play
a very interesting program.
First was a trumpet tune by
Stanley played by James
Smith. This piece is evidently
from the English school and
cheery and bright. Mr. Smith
played it in his inimitable
style and general mastery.
The most outstanding thing
about his playing Is his tone.
Never does he become brassy.
Always there is that golden
shimmer, heavenly ethereal
quality that pours out in un
broken flow. The angel Ga
briel surely has a place all set
aside for Mr. Smith.
The suite by Corelli, father
of violin playing, next was
played by the strings and they
did themselves proud. This is
lovely music of great sincerity
and charm. Although several
hundred years old it is as
fresh and alive as when it
was written.
Plays Under Duress
A "Poem for Flute and
Orchestra" followed with
Gretel Shanley as soloist. Its
composer, Charles Griffes,
was a young American who
died all too soon, from that
all to frequent cause - over
work.
Miss Shanley performed the
solo part under great duress,
having been in an accident re
cently and being trussed in a
brace. A salute to a brave
lady who played very, very
well indeed.
After intermission the or
chestra played Stravinsky';
"Pulcinella Suite on Themes
by Pergolesi." This is satirical
