JACK TEACARDEN
WILL AID CLASS
Trombonist's Records to
Be Played at Library
Course Tonight

Privately recorded swing music
by Eddie Condor, Jack Teagarden,
Joe Sullivan and Benny Goodman
are the eye-openers on tonight's
Swing Club program, presented as
the up to the minute side of the
Learning to-Listen" music group.
The class will be introduced to
Cesar Franck, one of the early mod
ern composers of the more serious
type of music. The concert portion
of the program will feature Franck's
Symphony in D minor, scored for a
large orchestra. In this symphony
F'ranck employed the English horn,
an innovation which, with the harp,
brought down upon the composers
head severe criticism by some of
the leading French musicians. This
work, F'ranck' only symphony, is in
three movements and is an excellent
example of the 'cycle" form, in
which the use of certain themes
are recognizable in various guises.
The last movement, in addition to
new musical subjects of its own,
uses the chief melodies fthe two
earlier movements. An excerpt from
the Swing Club" program notes al
so showing this idea of unity in
Diane" by Emo Rapee and Lew
Pollack, as recorded by Jack Tea

Immediately followed by Freeman's

the theme, to which Russell, Hac-
kett and Condor subscribe in turn.

garden again all provide an ntri-
cate harmonic structure. The piece
as whole is given strong unity by
the return of the soloist to the
trombone with piano and bass &C
compartment, thus closing the piece
in the same vein as it began"
Featured on tonight's program will
be Professor Quizz" contest, in
which the entire class may partici-
pate. A memory selection presented
on an earlier Learning to-Listen"
convert will be played and interest
ing clues concerning the composition
will be given by Walden Trimble and
Paulette Woozin, directors of the
course. Prizes will be awarded.
The Swing Club held at $50 and
the Learning to-Listen class, pre-
sented at tbs each Monday and
Tuesday evening at the Bronson Lii
brary, are offered to the public
without charge, under the auspises
