These artists will visit
Pittsburgh for one perfor-
nance at Syria Mosque, Feb
ruary II, 1856, under the To-
cal sponsorship of the Du-
quesne University Tamburitz-
ans, themselves a musical or
ganization of international re-
nown. Time, $3.50 PM.
For, while the rich dance
lore that comes with the Ia
nee group from Macedonia
has been one of the newest
excitements of the capitals of
Europe and North Africa, it
derives from the most ancient
sources and it is new to Wes-
tern Europe because it is so
old.
And the music that
comes with it from the
crossroads of history" has
elements that reflect Tur-
kish occupation, two eras
of Byzantine dominance,
the Roman Empire, tribal
ritual of the Dardans, and
even ancient Greece and
Illyrium.
While the dance requires
virtuosic leaps and turns in
air worthy of the most aerial
ballet, it is so deeply inter-
twined with the music that
dancers are also singers and
musicians and, when the
dance is at it's barbaric height
of excitement, it draws the
musicians into the action.
In many, especially those
of ritualistic character, the
drummer is an essential part
of the dance. And in the dan
ces, which are epic in char
acter celebrating the centu-
, ries-long battle of these brave
people for liberation, song
, and dance and music are in
separable elements, for the
songs are bardic poems.
From The Ancient Past
Like the dance, the music
offers a new experience be-
cause it comes out of the an.
cient past.
Rhythm patterns are
complex, and part and
parcel of the intricate foot
work for which these dam
GERS have become celebra-
ted among tourists who
have journeyed by many
hundreds of thousands to
see them and, by now,
audiences in the countries
where they have appeared.
Both in the songs and the
dances, archaic themes with
intervals strange to the ears
of academic musicians are
carried on exotic instruments
that are stranger still. Anc
they, too, suggest all the per
iods of Macedonian history.
Not Unlike Rams Horn
Probably the nearest to {
conventional instrument, or {
familiar one, is the accordion
which is used to accompany
the gayest festival dances. Il
is also, perhaps, the mos
modern.
There is also a reed pipe
like the ancient Greek Shep

MIA, it is still a shepherds
pipe.
There is announcer pipe -
or so it is called - which
looks like a shortened
post-horn and is somehow
suggestive of the rams
horn of the Old Testament.
Called the Zourla, it has a
harsh sound characteristic of
the music for the Greek ira
gic dance, or the horns of the
Roman legions.
Drums are important, too.
There is the small hand drum,
the Darbouka, scarcely lar
ger, but deeper than a tam
BOURNE, which is played with
the fingers.
Irish Hellenic People? .>.:.
And there is the great
drum, the Toupan, which is
played, not with an ordinary
padded drum-stick, but with
a carefully shaped piece of
wood, which gives it a wide
range of sound effects. -
Once, according to some
authorities, t h e drumstick
was the jawbone of an ass,
and the shape of the wooden
stick suggests it. !
The Middle Ages--or,
maybe, the Turkish occu-
patton - are suggested by
the Tamburitzas, which
look like the viols of the
troubadors.
Slightly oval in shape, they
are graduated in size from the
smallest mandolin-type to a
guitar, and one very similar
to a bass viol. ~
j. And one of them, probably
the ancestor of the others,
looks like an ancient lutte.
And there is still one more
surprise in this native orches-
ira. AS if to support the the
ory of Gaelic antiquarians
that the Irish were an Helle-
mic people, there is the grand
daddy of all bagpipes, with a
goat-skin bag and with pipes
as handsomely decorated as
are all objects and costumes
from Yugoslavia-but still
looking like first cousin to
the pipes of the highland
Gael.

Revival Of Native Arts
In the dancing nations
that make up present day
Yugoslavia, the dance was
the spearhead for a revival
in, all the native arts, music
as we'll as dance and the po-
etry of the songs.
And, as the chief survival
of the fine arts, seen are the
barbaric and beautiful cos
tunes, traditional in each re-
gion, heavily overlaid with
co1orful embroideries an d
gold-work.
All of these were closely
inter-related and, with the
revival of the rich dance
styles of each region, came
also the music and decora-
tive arts. And all of these
come before local audiences
with the performances to
be seen here at the Civic
Opera House Saturday and
Sunday, February 4-5.
In the il, mid -forties, the
great dancers of the country
began to be observed through
festivals, reported even then
by foreign press correspon-
dents in the country to watch
history being made.
And out of the best of
these were assembled four
great regional companies, OF
which Tanec is the Macedo-
nian group, drawing upon the
richest tradition of them al.
and one that goes back to the
days of ancient Greek civil
zation.
Versatility Personified
And "stars" they all are -
in every sense.
They are more versatile
than dancers in any company
that could be named. For the
virtuosity required by these
dances includes the most aer
ial leaps and turns in air, thu
subtle and elegant orienta
movement of Turkish dances
real sword-play while leapins
and turning, as well as, fol
certain dances, foot-work O.
incredible rapidity to rhy
thms so intricate no formally
trained dancer could negoti
ate them.
And some of these are
danced without benefit of
any accompaniment at all.
For they are the tense, ex-
citing "silent dances" And,
as a National Folk Ballet,
they must excel not only in
the dances of their own re-
gion, but of all the neigh
boring states.
But they are versatile be
yond even that proficiency il
all the rich variety of style
and choreography. In thi
company, the dance soloist o
one important dance may b
the singer for another an
would rank as a singing sta
in concert halls, master O
mistress of Byzantine, Greel
Turkish, Slav keys, intervals
rhythms. '
And so with the musicians
who play the exotic instru
ments, pipes, horns, han
drum and great drum, tan
buritzas - yes, and even bag
pipes. For they also dance.
Make certain you see thi
famed troupe at the Chicag
Opera House either Saturday
February 4, or Sunday, Fet
