Annual Band Concert Features Dean's Song
Featured in the KU concert band's winter concert Sunday will be work by Thomas Gorton, dean of the KU School of Fine Arts, and a solo performance by Alvin Lowrey, Winfield senior.
Dean Gorton's "Variations and Fugue on a Welch Hymn" was composed in 1949 for the Ohio University (Athens) concert band. The work is based upon a Welch folk tune, the Dies Irae (day of wrath) of the Protestant service, but is non-lитurgical.
An unpublished manuscript, Dean Gorton's work "is very worthy of being published," Band Director Russell L. Wiley said. It is a tonal work, with the final section contrapuntal, that is, utilizing at least two melodic lines simultaneously.
Performing as soloist in Franz Joseph Haydn's "Concerto for Trumpet in E-flat" is Alvin Lowrey. He will use a modern E-flat valve trumpet, as opposed to the now-companion B-flat trumpet.
Originally, the work was intender for a keyed trumpet, an instrument with mechanism similar to a modern saxophone. Lowrey studies under Kenneth Bloomquist, associate professor of wind and percussion instruments. Because of time limitations, Lowrey's performance will consist of the first and second movements, and omit the third. He will invert the two movements being played, the first following the second.
Other selections being performed are "Symphony for Band" by Vincent Persicetti; the "Hary Janos Suite" by Zoltan Kodály, the Hungarian nationalist co-worker of Bela
Bartok; the "Faust Overture" of Richard Wagner, and the "Russian Easter Festival," by Rimsky- Korsakov.
The program, to be held at 3:30 Sunday in the University Theatre, is open to the public without charge.
Illini Professor Will Address Business Meet
Robert A. Hedges, associate professor of finance at the University of Illinois, will be the featured speaker at the Eighth Annual School of Business Insurance Forum, at 2 p.m. Saturday in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
Dr. Hedges' topic will be 'Risk Management,' which is the subject of a textbook of the same title that be co-authored in 1963.
The book received the Elizur Wright Award as the outstanding publication in the areas of risk management and insurance in 1964.
The forum is sponsored by the Insurance Education Development Fund of the KU Endowment Association. The purpose of the forum is to further the understanding of the role of insurance in American life among students and the general public.
Following Dr. Hedges' speech will be a "coffee hour" to enable those who attend to talk with Hedges and other insurance and risk personnel who will be present. A noon luncheon will precede the forum.

If your roommate says the Bell System helped invent hi-fi, stereo and talking movies,
don't bet. You'll lose.
When the century was still young, we realized that if the telephone were to come up to its potential, the nature of sound had to be much better understood than it was then.
In the course of their studies of the nature of sound, Bell System scientists have been able to make significant contributions to all three forms of entertainment.
You might say that it was because the discoveries were there to be discovered by the first explorers to come down the trail.
This led to the largest, most comprehensive
To capture sound for study, Bell Telephone Laboratories developed the first electronic recorder for phonograph discs. For the first time, performers recorded into microphones.
Then, in 1925, Bell Labs perfected an electronic system that synchronized sound and action on movie film. The talkies were born.
study of sound ever undertaken by anyone.
To get better sound reproduction, they started experimenting in 1933 with ways to separate high and low frequencies to prevent distortion. The result was a single-groove,
multi-channel disc—the basis of today's stereophonic industry.
Nevertheless, these contributions were by products of the real effort, which was to make telephone service better. We are proud, of course, that they helped build and improve whole industries.
But we're prouder of the sound qualities in the telephone of today.
If you'd like to do business or engineering work you're really proud of, we'd like to talk to you.
