When people see "Kramer vs. Kramer" or "Murder on the Orient Express," they do not usually pay much attention to the music in films. KANU radio's program director said the movie.
KANU recently began broadcasting a new program, "Cinema Soundtrack," at 7 p.m. Mondays. The program takes a serious look at the work of artists in picture, the director, Darrell Brogden, said.
Another new program on KANU is "A Prairie Home Companion," which deals with a mythical
The host and producer of "Cinema Soundtrack," John Capse, tries to help listeners gain an appreciation for an art that does not get a great deal of attention. said Broudon.
"By removing the visual aspect, the program tries to demonstrate what an important element music is to cinema. The program's intent is to help the listener acquire an appreciation of and enjoy this material."
He said that people tended to concentrate on watching a movie rather than on listening to the
"CINEMA SOUNDTRACK" is new to KANU, but it has been available for at least three or four years, he said. It is hosted and produced by Caps at WBJ radio in Baltimore.
Brogdon said that the program was very well done and that Caps had access to many rare JRDs.
The nour-long program includes interviews with composers and dialogue from films as well as soundtracks.
Sometimes the entire program is devoted to just one movie, Brogdon said. In January, one show will feature music from "E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial."
At other times, Caps discusses a composer's works. In one show this month he talked about the works of Richard Rodney Bennett, composer musical for "Murder on the Orient Express"
The next program, which will be broadcast Dec. 13, is titled "Cityscopes." It shows how music is used to sketch the city backdrop in film, Brodgon said. The music is used to create an
A feeling is created through music, he said. It is important in helping create the atmosphere, it can help to calm down.
For example, he said, the kind of music used in Fast Driver is 'different from the kind used for Karaoke'.
THE MUSIC in "Taxi Driver" creates an evil, sinister feeling, he said.
A second program that KAUN recently began broadcasting, "A Prairie Home Companion," is a popular two-hour show that provides the latest news about the mythical town of Lake Wobegone, Minn. Brogdon said. It is a variety show that features folk humor and country music.
"A Prairie Home Companion," which is broadcast from 7 p. to 9 p.m. Saturday, was aired on NBC and ABC.
"We received lots of letters and phone calls from people about the show," Brogdon said.

Members of the University Dance Company will exhibit their choreography and dancing skills in the company's annual fall concert this weekend.
The company will present two programs that will last about 90 minutes each. All performances will be in the dance performing lab in 240 Robinson.
The first program will include dances designed and performed by students. The second program will feature dances choreographed by the co-directors of the dance company, Janet Hamburg, associate professor of health, physical education and recreation, and Joan Stone, assistant professor of health, physical education and recreation.
The first program will be presented at 8 p.m.
Friday and at 2 p.m. Saturday. The second
program will start at 8 p.m. Saturday.
"There's a wide variety of dances," Hamburg said yesterday.
Hamburg said that the members of the dance company had rehearsed the dances often and had performed some of them before various University living groups.
Hamburg said the some of the groups had been working on their programs since last September.
THE FIRST program will open with "Twisting and Knotted." Hamburg, who choreographed the dance, described it as an abstract modern dance that used some familiar dance forms, such as the square dance. It will be performed by a quartet whose members are Michael Grobe, Lawrence graduate student, Mary Marshall, Plano,
Texas, sophomore, Allison Baker, Lawrence senior, and Douglas McMinimy, New York City sophomore.
A quintet will express elements of Paul McCartney's music in the dance "Electric Fugue." Duane Ellis, Derby junior, choreographed the dance and will perform it. Other performers are Mary Cummick, McPherson senior, Virginia Morrison, Leavenworth sophomore, Diedre dePattan, Evanson, Ill., freshman, and Marshall.

The first program will end with two dances choreographed by Stone, "In the Field at Dusk," featuring a solo by Lenoir, and excerpts from "Grass Variations." Martin Oison, a local professional composer and musician, will accompany both dances on the electric organ.
The second program will feature the full-length, 45-minute version of "Grass Variations," in which a quintet portrays the motions that grasses make in the wind. Quintet members are Baker, Cunnick, Flolt, Francese, Groner, Huckleberry, Nixon, Sirare, Prairie Village sophomore. The other dances to be performed are "In the Field at Dusk" and "Twisting and Knotting."
