One of his neatest pedagogical
tricks, it seems to me, is to use
some familiar concept-like a
baseball diamond-to explain a
musical conception. Thus the
diamond illustration made the
discussion of tonality (which
naturally had to precede any
talk of atonallty) reasonably
clear to this light hitting music

Anyway. Bernstein reported
that the two camps (tonality VS..
atonality) seem to be getting
closer together these days. To
these one-note ears, his words
were easier to follow and under
stand than the various SAM
plingS from COPELAND, Stravinsky
and Ravel, but his enthusiasm
and conviction are such that l

LIN fact. hardly a week goes

But the occasions are rare

Perhaps the most famous
Of all is Britain's order OF

Chain. This means that in
stead Of having the Grand
Cross on a sash, they have
it on a chain worn over the
neck and shoulders
The second class within an
order is called Commander

ton is hung around the neck
with a small ribbon. This
one also has a star worn in
the same manner as the first
class.
The third class Il that OF
Commander and has the
same decoration around the
neck, but no star.
A chevalier or knight is the
fourth or lowest rank and is
siRnified simply by the regu-
lar decoration pinned on the
chest with a small ribbon.
Orders are usually in the
form of a cross or q star,
while medals are round and
in gold or silver. Medals
never have sashes, are never
worn around the neck and
are always worn on the
chest.
AMERICANS, unfortu-
nately, do not have knightly
orders TO confer on foreign
and local dignitaries.
We do have our military
decorations for valour or dis
tinction in the various serv-
ices, but they are not to be
confused with orders.
Foreign governments, how
ever, more and more are Civ
ing decorations to prominent
United States citizens. But
the law is quite rigid about
American acceptance. No
American Foreign Service
officer is permitted TO accept
a foreign decoration.
All other American milf
tary and Government officials
may accept them. but must
deposit them with the De-
partment Of State until per-
mission Is obtained from
Congress. OF course. private
citizens may accept any
number Of decorations.
