Looking for q practical and
easy way to record and play
back sound directly on your
8-mm. movie film? Then
have a look at the new Bolex
Sonorizer which can be used
not only with the Bolex M-8,
but with many other 8-mm.
movie projectors
The sonorizer enables the
home movie maker to achieve
high quality magnetic sound
on his films through such
features as two separate in
puts connected to a built-in
mixer, and an automatic
fade-out and everyday device
for superimpoSing one sound
over another on q single
recording track.
The unit comes in a two
piece portable case. The
portion containing the loud
speaker is detachable for To-
eating anywhere j. in the
screening room. The ampli-
fer section has a fiat top on
which the protector is placed.
On Magnetic Stripe
The machine records the
sound on a 80 mil. wide
magnetic stripe which is ap-
piled to the edge Of the film
outside the perforation holes
after processing of the
film. This enables the movie
maker to eliminate improp-
erly exposed frames from his
footage, splice in titles, and

thus preventing huctuation in

How 1t Functions
The machine works this
way: The edited and stripped
film first is threaded through
the sound head of the So

After the amplifier is
switched on the selector

of sound-the microphone

combination with the micro
phone-then is plugged into
the input sockets. The pro-
jector may be turned on and
recording begins.

input channels which may
be used individually or
mixed, can be regulated by
two independent volume
control knobs. During &C

Mention the name Adriano
Banchieri to an operagoer
and the reaction is almost
certain to be blank. Yet
Banchieri's name deserves, at
least In a historical sense, to
stand with those of Mozart,
Wagner and Verdi.
Banchieri was a Bolognese
Of the late 10th and early
17th centuries. One of his
distinctions is that he was a
pupil of the celebrated mad
rigalist, Giovanni Gabriel.
He also was a monk, but this
apparently did not inhibit his
creative impulse. For he be-
came what today we would
call an opera com poser.
Moreover, he had a sense Of
humor. He wrote opera buffa.
What was a comic opera Of
three centuries or so ago like?
One can get an idea from
q Deutsche Grammophon-
Archive disc which presents a
performance of Banchieri's
"La Pazzia senile," or "A
Folly of Old Age" La Pazzia
senile" was published in 1893
and was a great success in
its day.
Standard Plot
Dramatically the success is
understandable, for the plot
is practically the same as
that Of scores of later Italian
comic operas. It has to do
with an old merchant who
seeks to marry of his daugh-
ter to q doctor friend instead
Of the young lady's personal
choice, an amorous young
man named Fulvio who has a
propensity for nighttime
serenading.
Who wins out can readily
be guessed. Banchieri, being
a composer of the madrigal
age, naturally translates this
sturdy drama into a series
of three-part villanellas, with
dialogue written for humor's
sake in Venetian dialect, and
of course without inStru-
mental accompaniment.
How does it all sound to
modern ears? The answer is,
La Pazzia" is fun to hear,
particularly Banchieri's clever
limitations of the lutte and
guitar and his amusing mu-
sical characterizations. and
the music is attractive.
Seven madrigals by Claudio
Monteverdi, Banchieri's great
contemporary, make charm
ing listening on the oversize
of the disc. which is hand
somely performed by the SeS-
tetto Italiano Luca Marenzio
and is accompanied by full
texts and translations.
One steps forward a Gen.

man. Henry Purcell. to aug
ment a play called "Kine
Arthur" by Dryden.
This, too, is what might be
called "almost-opera," in this
case of a sort not far removed
from the static, classic style
developed a few years later
by Handel and continued
through Gluck, with formal
arias and choruses and
ensembles. What saves the
music for King Arthur" from
being labeled archaic is its
grace and freshness and the
