Small Group at Choral Concert
By Tom Winston
A small gathering of 300 people, composed mostly of visiting composers and a few curious persons, heard the Concert Choir and Chorale present the choral concert of the KU Fourth Annual Symposium of Contemporary American Music last night in the University Theatre. Eight numbers made up the program.
WELL RECEIVED were two pieces called "Musicians Wrestle Everywhere" and "Heart No So Heavy As Mine" by Elliott Carter, special guest composer from Yale University. The pieces are settings of poems by Emily Dickinson and were sung by the Chorale.
The most traditional of the numbers was a setting of Psalm 47 for chorus and brass choir by Alvin King, Midland College, Nebraska. It, too, was very well received.
Evan Tonsing, Topeka senior, was represented by an "Elizabethan Love Song" for double choir. Tonsing wrote both words and music. The text is reflective and tender, the harmony stable with just enough dissonance to be pleasantly spicy.
The favorite of this reviewer was "Winter" by Paul W. Weher of Doane College, Nebraska. It has a gossamer harmonic texture and its text is a series of instances supporting the question "Old man, where will you go when spring comes?"
OF MILD INTEREST — but deserving of more — was a "Te Deum" by Daniel Moe of the University of Iowa. It is for choir and full orchestra minus strings. Mr. Moe's piece seems to lack the required variety of texture. Prayerful or joyous, the difference seems merely a matter of dynamics. The harmonic treatment is chordal rather than linear.
The missa brevis by John Davye of the Oswego Free Academy in New York was a case of too much of too little. The only variety here was in the "Gloria" section. Using unison instead of parts, it was based on the same tone device.

No mention was made of the nullification of the election victories by followers of ousted dictator Juan D. Peron, who won 43 seats in congress. The Peronist leaders have predicted a civil war if their election victories are not recognized by the government.
Argentina's military leaders, dissatisfied with the Peronist showing at the polls, ousted President Arturo Frondizi, arrested him and banished him to Martin Garcia Island. Guido succeeded Frondizi.
