Britt Festival's Final Concert
Is Varied Program; One Repeat
By R. D. WERNER
For the final concert of the
Britt Music Festival conduc
tor John Trudeau chose a var
ied program with one wel
come repeat.
Opening with another of
Bach's Brandenburg Concerti,
2 in F Major for trumpet,
flute, oboe and solo violin,
the players were James
Smith, Gretel Shanley, Peter
Christ and Charles Heiden.
The interesting thing about
this concerto is that the trum
pet part is for piccolo trum
pet in F. The extremely high
notes of .the music are only
possible on this instrument
and of course Mr. Smith did
it superbly. This man is such
a master over his instrument
and at times his blending with
the flute was pure magic. A
real tourte de force.
Folk Songs .
Elizabeth Pharris, contral
to, was soloist in an aria by
Mozart and five French folk
songs arranged by Britten.
They were all with orchestral
accompaniment. The aria of
Mozart was very well done,
but there must be some other

aria by him that is more ap-1
pealing. The Britten pieces
are another example of a
modern composer doing clev
er things with the people's mu
sic. As folk songs they were
as entrancing as any French
folk songs can be when listen
ing to the vocal line but when
tne sophisticated accompani
ment and harmonic treatment
are added the beauty is mar
red. Miss Pharris sang them
very well indeed and the ap
plause was prolonged. She re
ceived a floral bouquet at the
close.
The welcome repeat was a
suite for strings by Corelli.
This is music from the heart,
without pretense and we were
happy to hear it again. The
orchestra played it better this
time. When all is said and
done there is no substitute for
string music. One can listen
to it for hours without tiring.
Perhaps that is why it is the
backbone of the symphony i
orchestra. I
Chorus and Orchestra j
The final number on the
program was Vaughan-Wil-
liams very beautiful Sere-1
nade to Music. The festival
chorus joined with the or
chestra in a well balanced i
rendition. This is music by '
contemporary composer who
was truly a master of the I
first order. Besides being an
authority on British folk
songs and who collected them
from their sources, the same
as Barlok and Kodaly did with
Hungarian folk songs, he was
a most thoroughly trained mu
sician and orchestraler. And
for many years he was a chor
al conductor. Small wonder
that the Serenade is such a
wonderful piece of music.
Here is beauty and art that
uplifts and makes one know
that as old Papa Haydn said,
"It comes from God."
Solo passages in the work
were by Julie Gandl, soprano
and Mirs Frohnmayer, con-
tralto. They sang true and
their voices were a most pleas
ing sound on the night air.
Three Paintings
The orchestra members, aft
er a few words by the concert
master Charles Heiden, pre
sented the conductor with
three paintings of the festival
by Eugene Bennett.
Tribute was paid to Mrs.
Bert Pree for "a great job,
well done" which is most cer
tainly true. This writer still
thinks she must have had 16
elephants to help her. All con
cerned are definitely in her
debt and the flowers she re
ceived were just a very small
expression of their gratitude.
For an encore Trudeau had
the orchestra perform again
the Stravinsky Pulcinella
suite. This is difficult music
and much too long for an en
core and altogether too much
to ask any orchestra to do
after a full evening, and at
the end of two very heavy
weeks. It showed, too. The
players did not do nearly as
well as when they played it
before.
Well Played Series
And it seems appropriate
to say a few things about the
music and players on the
whole. To this reviewer the
choice of music played with
a few exceptions was not cal
culated to please the audience.
It was all extremely well
played and the orchestra can
go away knowing they did a
magnificent job, including the
chamber music players. B u t
the concentration on ancient i
and modern only, left too
much of a gap for any real
popular appeal.
An interesting thing about !
the scries was that all instru
mental soloists were those
who blew into their instru- j
ments. They were all very
fine, to say the least, but over- j
worked. The first cellist was
wasted and the concertmaster '
was overworked. A solo by
either or both of these people
would have been most wel-'
come. I
Unsung Heroes
Two unsung heroes were
Peter Christ, oboist, and Gor- i
don Solie, bassoonist. Their!
work was outstanding. We
feel that the afternoon con
certs should not be continued
and if chamber music is felt
to be desirable it should be
played indoors.
All in all, though, it was
a successful undertaking and
this reviewer is most happy
that new hands have come
into the field of good music.
There is much work to do
and this is the place to do it.
Perhaps a little too much was
attempted for the first season
but it is a step in the right
direction if the project docs
not gel out too far in front
of the people, so that they
will lose sight of the leadership.
