KU group to perform baroque holiday music
A its 1890 Christmas recital, KU's Collegium Musicum will offer a musical alternative to those who have grown up without but have entwined "Jingle Bells."
The collegium, an early music ensemble, will perform a baroque Christmas Oratorio at 4 p.m. today in Swarthout Recital Hall in Murphy
The oratorio tells the story of Christ's birth in a series of solo and ensemble numbers. The parts of the story are connected by narratives sung by a character called the Evangelist.
The piece was written in the 17th century by Heinrich Schutz.
The Collegium Musicum performs music from the medieval, renascence and baroque periods, Stewart Carter, assistant professor of music history and director of the group, said yesterday. Those
periods began in the 13th century and ended in the 18th century.
The Collegeium's title was a Latin name for college musical ensembles 200 years ago, Carter said. The group is made up of about 30 KU students who auditioned during fall enrollment.
The KU Collegium, which performed at the Renaissance Festival in Bonner Springs this semester, usually performs authentic early music. But sometimes, Carter said, that music is hard to find.
"A lot of the music only survives in libraries and museums," he said.
Schutz's Christmas Oratorio was buried for years in a Swedish library, he said.
When the group performs the oratorio, it will use only instruments that existed when Schutz composed his piece.
play familiar instruments, including cellos, trumpets and violins, Carter said, but they also will play the sackbut and cornetto, two distant relatives of the modern trombone and clarinet.
this afternoon the collegium will
The University has a collection of early instruments, Carter said, but musicians who want to start their own collections should be ready to make a large investment. At $10,000 are hard to come by.
Most replaces of early instruments are made in Germany, he said, and as the value of the German mark rises the price of German-made instruments.
The group's last concert of the semester will be Monday at 3:30 p.m. in Swarthout Recital Hall.
Both today's and Monday's concerts are free and open to the public.

THE CHILD-CUSTODY restrictions are of special concern to Denfield and Porter. Denfield has a 28-month-old daughter, who had been raped by the bad after she was raped in the Army.

many young child," Porter said.
"You can have joint custody between two individuals and also appoint your lover guardian, but that requires a will or some guardianship agreement, Richter said. "However, any agreement would only apply if the natural parent died or was unable to care for the child."
without marrying Denfeld, the two will be breaking new legal ground in Kansas, according to Nancy Maxwell, professor of law at Washburn University.
If Porter attempts to adopt the child
"Kansas has no case law for a single parent adopting a child without the natural parent giving up full parental rights," Maxwell said. "The law of Kansas is that any with may adopt, but it has not been tested in this way."
Both Richter and Maxwell said they doubted the chances of challenging the Kansas law in court and suggested an argument could be a legal contract between the two.
"The fact that Kansas law has been recently amended to cover the issue of whether the legislative intent and it would be hard to overturn," Richter said. "If they

If the member is given a satisfactory rating on check writing by the Telecredit evaluating service, the applicant will obtain an interest-bearing account, she said.
Interest-bearing accounts are a little more difficult to get at credit unions than at banks or savings and loans, Price said.

The contract would be based on a California court ruling that said actor Lee Marvin and Michele Marvin had a legal commitment to each other even though they weren't married. The Marvin case was a landmark one that hasn't been tested in Kansas yet, Maxwell said.

wanted to challenge the law they could, but it would be a very difficult case to win.1
However, both Richter and Maxwell said a contract relationship was a new area of the law that was still unclear and that had been rejected in some states.
A CONTRACT RELATIONSHIP would involve the two legally structuring their living together on paper. Each would have certain competencies that divide the division of property and child support should the relationship end.
"I'm gonna live with her regardless," Denfeld said. "Even if Kansas is too backward to admit that two people of the same sex can live and love together as any other couple, that's their problem, not mine."
Denfield and Porter haven't written the ACLU yet so they don't know what legal help they can count on if they challenge the law. In the meantime they are planning a religious ceremony at the Metropolitan Community Church, a Kansas City church that permits homosexual members.
"New York has rejected the Marvin contract case. Kansas hasn't specifically recognized the case, but there is a proposed amendment that would do away with common law marriage, and one of the reasons is because the Marvin case would replace it." Maxwell said.
