Exciting music that ranges from a Kodaly version of the high Mass to 20th century Norman Dello Joio's traveling invitation in the "Song of the Open Road" are on the program for Sunday's Concert Choir performance.
Duncan Couch, assistant instructor of choral music, directs the 3:30 p.m. concert in the University Theatre. The 75 member group of select voices includes students in music as well as students in other fields that auditioned at the semester for membership.
The program for the afternoon includes three motes by Anton Becker. The selections are "Christus factus est," "Os justi" and his version of the beautiful "Ave Maria."
A beautifully exciting version of the Mass by the Hungarian composer Zoltan Kodaly include all the standard high mass anthems from the "Kyrie" to the final "Agnus Dei." Kodaly, who was born in 1882 and died in 1967, has written vocal works that, according to Couch," constitute a unique repertoire for both soloist and chorister."
The choir will be accompanied on the organ by Marlene Brewbaker in this liturgical selection
Howard Hansen is the third composer featured with his musical versions of Psalm 121 and Psalm 150. The first Psalmical versions of Psalm 121 and Austin, junior.
Norman Dello Joio is a twentieth century composer whose "Song of the Open Road" has been chosen as the final number. This rousing number includes a trumpet solo by Mark Schubert, Hutchinson sophomore. He appeared at KU in 1967 as a guest conductor at the Symposium of Contemporary American Music.
The choir will be accompanied on the piano by Leann Hillmer, Hutchinson graduate student.

THE Hillcrest
By PEGGY POLK United Press International
pace largely in a dentist's chair. On a television screen provided by the pompous, philosophy-quoting dentist to distract the patient, narrator Eberhard Starusch projects scenes from his past which merge almost indistinguishably with fantasies about what might have happened. They involve his days as an industrial engineer and a former fiancee and her father, a general, who refight World War II battles in a sandbox.
Ever since Gunter Grass emerged upon the international literary scene in the early 1960s with The Tin Drum, he has written about German war guilt. This new novel satirizes that very preoccupation.
It is savagely funny, lacking none of Grass' characteristic black and bitter humor. Example: the book—about pain as the most enduring human condition—takes
