~ fathered by Frank Black. N. B.
be tried out during a special concert
Friday IN the hour ordinarily filled
by the Music Appreciation program
at II 100 am.
The idea" according to Black. is
not so novel when you stop to think
that no violinist would think OF sit
ting during concert performance.
What does he do? Why, he always
stands! So, that's what intend to
ask my musicians to do during this
hour program.
In other words. says Black he is
asking his 50-piece orchestra to per-
form in solo in the ensemble and to
bring their slippers, if necessary!
Some one has asked me, How
about the poor musicians? They'll
have to stand for a whole hour! MY
answer is. Doesn't the director have
to take ton his feet? So why not
the whole orchestral"
The orchestra director says he is
anxious to carry through his expert
ment, since he has long believed that
IAN orchestra will actually play better
on its feet than sitting down
The only members of the orchestra
exempt from standing in the 60-min-
ute broadcast will be one harpist, one
tuba player and four 'cellists. The
piano player will escape the test be-
cause no piano is to be included in
the scene
The program will present compo-
sitions from the classics written origi-
nally as piano solos and adapted for
the first time for symphony Orches-
ira. Three of the numbers have been
arranged for orchestra by Black him
self.
In preparing the program Black has
followed the MOOD OF the Music Ap-
probation hour so that school chill
dren on the school holiday will not
miss their weekly musical fare.
