Lute Music to Fill University Theatre
There is no orchestra. Only the mellow notes of a lone lute sway the imaginary dancers.
Gentlemen in velvet whirl taffetaw-gowned ladies with fluted frills across a gleaming ballroom floor of marble.
The majesty of an Elizabethan Court ball will fill University Theatre tonight as Julian Bream plucks out the English and French lute melodies of the 16th Century. The concert will be at 8 p.m.
The lute was first known in early Egypt and the Near East and in Spain during the 10th Century. It was gradually developed until it became the chief European instrument of the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
The melodies, both stately and gay, have been transformed through the years from the dance music of the 16th Century to classical music.
Mr. Bream, a 26-year-old Englishman, is noted for his work in reviving interest in the lute, which was once as common as the piano today.
The lute is a pear-shaped instrument with a fretted neck. It has 14 strings with seven different pitches and produces a rich, plucked tone similar to that of a harpsichord.
In England alone, more than 2,000 lute pieces were composed between 1550 and 1620.
During the 18th Century the lute's popularity was supplanted by the more-easily tuned guitar.
Mr. Breen's recital will include lute music written by five Elizabethan composers, John Dowland Daniel Batcheler, Philip Rosseter Robert Johnson and Jean Baptiste Besard.
He will play "Branle," "Air d Court" and "Volte" by Besard; "Carmen's Whistle" by Johnson; "Galliard" by Rosseter; "Almaine" by Batcheler; and Dowland's "King of Denmark's Galliard." "Forlorne Hope," "Two Almaines" and "Fantasia."
Mr. Bream will conclude the concert with a recital of guitar music He will play "Two Pavans" by

The library is having a small catalogue published. It will be ready in two or three weeks and will consist of a small essay on John Brown by Richard Harwell, executive secretary of the Association of Collectors and Research Libraries, and a check list of the items on exhibit.
The exhibit, which was prepared by the curator of the Kansas collection, Miss Laura Neiswanger, with the help of James Malin, professor of history, will be on display until Christmas.
