Band Dispels The Doubts of Music Lovers
By JOHN CONARD
where ever was a doubt in the minds of Kansas music lovers that Russell L. Wiley is one of America's leading band masters, it was dispelled once and for all when the University Band presented its thirty-fourth annual spring concert in Hoch auditorium last night.
Playing 15 scheduled numbers and the University "Alma Mater" as an encore, the band easily and definitely impressed its audience of 3,000 that "here is a fine band with an outstanding director, and they are giving us an evening full of high-class music."
Second only to his directing skill was the evidence of Wiley's ability as a teacher. Arthur Harris, graduate student, and Richard Tippin, fine arts senior, directed the Band through two numbers in a vigorous and strictly professional manner. Still further signs of teaching genius and long hours of patient practice were the solo appearances of Leo Horacek, fine arts senior, on the cornet; Robert Forman, fine arts senior, oboist;
and Leslie Sperling, fine arts senior,
trombonist.
Most attractive and amusing number of the evening was "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" (Bennett). The narrative moved swiftly, and even a person who had never heard the legend could well imagine the sequence of events as interpreted by the music.
Complete in everything but the odors of rose-buds, the program added a sensational visual spectacle
of baton twirling to the already excellent music offering. Sarlena Sherman, college sophomore, with her electric baton, and Robert Hampel, senior engineer, with a fluorescent baton, performed before the audience as the auditorium was thrown into total darkness while Tippin directed the band in an accompaniment. The whirling batons went through many an uncanny caper, but it was too dark to see how they did it.
The final section of the program was made up of more serious music.
It opened with Victor Herbert's overture to 'The Rose of Algeria' which was followed by the Andantino movement from the Fourth Symphony of Tschaikowsky, and 'Sorcerer's Apprentice', the most pretentious offering of the evening in which the band showed real viril tuosity.
It is enough to say that a good band, under a good director, provided a Kansas audience with an evening of excellent music.
