Roy Harris Looks for New Musical Order
Presenting some revolutionary ideas about "good music," Roy Harris, famous contemporary composer, is no longer considered a "long-hair" by students who attended the All-University convocation in Hoch auditorium yesterday.
The convocation, which opened Music Week and began Fine Arts Day on the Hill, presented the University band and Roy Harris of Cornell University as convocation speaker.
Harris spoke on "Music and People," showing that music is an escape from the here and now. He said that freedom is to have time and the right to use that time to find out who we are and what our relationship is to others.
In the beginning of America, the soft-spoken Cornell professor stated, the country went through the first period of development in music and culture by importing musicians who could play well. In Germany at the time of Bach a parallel situation existed, and Italian singers were imported.
About the time of the Civil War in the United States, the people were developing their own culture and beginning to make their needs felt.
Harris believes that popular jazz bands must have power and sweetness, chamber music quality. A unique sweet-playing brass school has arisen, a typically American institution. Tommy Dorsey, said Harris, plays a trombone like no one can.
We have an American tradition that brasses are expected to play like chamber music but can turn on the heat when they want to, stated Harris. In the near future symphony orchestras will take on alto clarinets and saxophones. They will also develop a sense of flexibility, he thinks, through the popular orchestra. A new sense of form and a new type of orchestra will be the result. To the ordinary symphonic band add the string section and a new type of orchestra will result.
Harris concluded by stating that music in the mid-western universities is far in advance—about 25 years ahead—of the eastern colleges. The quality of production, the difficulty of the material they tackle, and the sense of the privilege of production combine to make these universities musically the best in the nation.
Waldemar Geltch to Summer Camp Staff
Waldemar Geltch, head of the violin department in the School of Fine Arts at the University, will be a member of the staff of the summer band camp, Russell L. Wiley, camp director, announced today. Professor Geltch will teach violin and ensemble. Last summer, he was on the fine arts staff of the summer term at the University of Idaho.
Wiley and Dean D. M. Swarthout, of the School of Fine Arts and a sponsor of the summer camp, have both expressed appreciation that they were able to induce Geltch to become a member of the summer staff.
