He was one of the Group des Six, which stirred -up excitement in the musical circles of Paris before and af- ter the First World War. Pastorale d’ete is a more tranquil piece and the composer used the tone colors of the differ- ent instruments to express his thoughts and feelings. The difference between Bach’s music and this modern tone poem is quite striking and the orchestra, under its young conductor, did a great job in getting the mood of this piece across to the audience. People here in the North have not had much exposure to live classical music, Most of them do not have the back- ground to understand it — so | think it was very much ap- preciated that the conductor, Mr. Timothy Vernon, gave an introduction to each piece. Symphony in A Major by Luigi Boccerini ‘Italian -born Boccerini spent most of his life in Spain at the court of Philipp 11. He wrote chamber music only, which is baroque in style and leading towards the later “modern” classical era. To listen to this symphony was quite a change to what we had heard previously. Using more variety of wind instruments (flute, bassoon, besides the usual horns and oboes) the piece sounded very color- ful and again the performance was professional, After the intermission, the audience was exposed to Franz Schubert's (Vienna 1797-1828) ““Scherzo”’ from the Octet Opus 168. Schubert, in his short life, wrote a tremendous amount of music — the tragedy was that he was not ac- knowledged during his _ lifetime, an honor which he de- served-(We were told that there is a striking parallel to present day Canadian musicians), The fifth piece of the concert was the English composer Gustav Holt’s ‘St Paul’s Suite’, which was originally com- posed for a school orchestra. This sounds unreal after lis- tening and recognizing the skill which is necessary to per- form the composition. Benjamin Britten’s ‘Sinfonietta, Opus 1” was the last sec- tion of the program. Britten is again a composer of the 20th century. This Sinfonietta was the challenge of the evening for the orchestra. Knowing the tight schedule of these musicians on tour, it was amazing to’see the amount of concentration which they still displayed after such a long day. To top off the evening, as an encore, we were presented with the ‘’Perpetium Mobile” from Johann Straus. This was the piece which really got to the people and they hon- ored the performers from Vancouver with a standing ovation. oes ORDER TODAY SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE ONLY $5.00 A YEAR FOR 12 FULL ISSUES OF THE CASSIAR COURIER.
