Orchestra, chorus to perform together
By MICHAEL PAUL Staff Reporter
The University of Kansas String Orchestra and the KU Summer Repery. Chorus will perform together for the first time this summer at 8 p.m. tomorrow in Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St.
The work that the 16-piece orchestra and the 25-voice chorus will perform will be "Kyrie" and "Gloria" from Mozart's "Missa brevis."
MICHAEL KIMBER, KU assistant professor of viola and assistant chairman of the music department, will conduct the orchestra.
James Ralston, KU professor of music, will conduct the chorus.
Kimber said the concert would be in Plymouth Congregational Church because a summer music camp was using a hill full of bill and because the church had an organ.
church had no organ to the 'Missa brevis,' he said. "Also, the layout of the church was appropriate for the
number of people performing in the concert. Hoch Auditorium was a bit large for this."
"Missa brevis," which means "brief Mass," was composed by Mozart when he was 18, Kimbel said. It will be the third work performed at the concert.
The orchestra will also perform five other works.
CORELLI'S CONCERTO GROSSO in D Major will be the first work performed. Don Appert, a doctoral student in conducting, will be the guest conductor.
conducted, she was the principal trombonist for both the Virginia Orchestra Group and the Virginia Opera Association from 1792 to 1863. During that time he was also an instructor of music at the Hampton Institute in Hampton, Va.
Appert said the work had three movements, with each movement consisting of a contrast in tempo and mood.
In the work, he said, a set of soloists will alternate playing with the full orchestra.
The work will feature three soloists -
Jennifer Himes and Mark Barsamian, both of Lawrence, will be the violin soloists, and Ulrike Hellborn, a student musician from Germany who is visiting Lawrence, will be the cello soloist.
THREE MOVEMENTS from Johann Sebastian Bach's Suite in D Major also will be performed. Kimber said that although the music was written for strings, trumpets and oboes, the music also could be played with only stringed instruments.
After "Missa brevis" there will an intermission and the orchestra will perform Grieg's "Last Spring," he said.
"This is a lively, sentimental piece for strings," said Kimber.
Don Appelt will then conduct his own composition, "In the Simulitude of a Dream." He composed the piece in 1981.
The work, he said, is based on John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress."
"It's an attempt to capture Pilgrim's intense longing for heaven," he said.
Pieces, "Opus 44, No. 4, Jennifer Himes will be the featured soloist."
The concert will conclude with three movements from Hindemith's "Five"
KIMBER SAID ANOTHER title of the piece was "In the First Position for Advanced Players."
"The title refers to the first group of notes that violin players learn to use." he said. "Although not every composition is written in the first position, it still requires skill to play it.
"The music is exciting. It has a gorpy-like freacy to it."
Kimber said that the KU Summer Orchestra consisted mostly of KU students who were in the KU Orchestra during the school year.
He said that the summer orchestra had not existed for several years because of insufficient enrollment, and even this summer the orchestra was originally intended to be a reading orchestra.
A READING ORCHESTRA meets and rehearses but not with the intention of giving a performance.
"But this summer we discovered that we had a good group, and we decided to give a concert," Kimber said.
Music instrument thefts in high school camps biggest, KU police say
An out-of-state high school student participating in the KU Midwestern Music Camp celebrated his birthday without his musical instruments.
On Monday the student, Sean J. Abel,
Columbia, Mo., entered a storage room
in Murphy Hall and discovered that the
room had been abandoned and then
Saturday afternoon were gone.
ACCORDING TO KU POLICE Lieutenant Jeanne Longaker, the theft was the largest in the history of the music camp.
Two clarinets worth a total of $3,000,
a barrel of a clarinet worth $45, two
saxophones worth a total of $4,800,
an amplifier worth $600, and a synthesizer
worth $700 were stolen from Abel, 18,
and two 17-year campmates.
Longaker said that there were no signs of forced entry into the room and
She said that through the years the same keys had been used to unlock the storage room door.
that the thief who stole the $4,145 worth of equipment might have entered with a handgun.
DAVID BUSHOUSE, director of the Midwestern Music Camp, said, "Most instruments which have been reported stolen in the past have usually only been misplaced and these turn up and are returned to the students."
But next week the lock on the door will be changed, she said.
Bushouse said that in this case he did not think that the students would be so fortunate.
"At least one of the students had his instruments insured." he said.
Longaker said KU police detectives began an investigation into the case yesterday.
