St. Si II ons IslandA Priceless Work of Art

St. Simons Island, nestled on the coast of Georgia, is a cultural environment of amazing natural beauty. Like all creations of worth, man must delicately and tastefully exhibit art treasures for the enjoyment of those lucky enough to appreciate their aesthetic value. And on this island abundant in American history, natural wildlife, and inherent charm, there are two distinctive and elegant year-round resorts, both tastefully enriching the artistic habitat of the island.

There's the majestic King and Prince Beach Hotel dating back to the 30's and now elegantly refurbished with antiques, stained glass windows, and bright colors. Add to that superb dining, gracious service, easy entertaining, and one of the most gentle stretches of beach in Georgia and you'll find your special retreat at the King and Prince.

For golf and tennis enthusiasts, the Sea Palms Resort is a masterpiece of sporting artistry. A sculptured championship golf course sheltered by liveoaks and bordered by winding waterways and tennis courts nestled among a hedge of island greenery add to the scenic enjoyment of both games. The Sea Palms accommodations range from a room at the Inn, to appealing villas, to elegantly appointed homes. And it's all perfect for families and conventioneers alike.

Also, for those who wish to invest in this Georgia island, there are villas, homes, homesites, and other property available for development. And, ready to open in late Fall is The Island Club, an exciting Country Club development of refined residences.

So, come to St. Simons Island for a weekend, a week, or a lifetime; and enjoy one of Georgia's most majestic year-round works of art.

ATLANTA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

Memorial Gift Endows Atlanta Symphony Concertmaster Chair

The first endowed chair for the At­lanta Symphony Orchestra, a gift from Mrs. Howard R. Peevy, has been jointly announced by David Gold- wasser, President of the Atlanta Sym­phony Orchestra League, and Robert Shaw, Music Director.

A significant contribution by Mrs. Peevy, in honor of her late husband, will establish an endowment income to support the position of Concert­master named the “Mr. and Mrs. Howard R. Peevy Concertmaster Chair,” and supported by the Tommie and Howard Peevy Fund.

“This generous gift from Mrs. Peevy,” stated Mr. Goldwasser, “en­ables the Orchestra to launch an endow­ment program for other chair positions in the Atlanta Symphony, and will serve as a cornerstone of vital financial sup­port for its continued growth and development.”

Mr. Peevy, a realtor and investor for more than forty years, had a great ap­preciation for the Metropolitan Atlanta area and its proper development. He was responsible for much of its growth into the suburban areas, particularly North Fulton and Cobb Counties. He suggested to the newspapers years ago the idea that real estate ads should be classified by suburban divisions for easy reference. By her generous en­dowment Mrs. Peevy tangibly shows the great love and enjoyment that she and her late husband derived from the arts.

The endowment fund will be invested and supervised by the Atlanta Arts Alliance, Inc. The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra’s endowment program was officially established in 1966 through a challenge grant of one million dollars

ALLIANCE THEATRE COMPANY

Many Extras for Season Ticket Subscribers This Year

According to David Bishop, Man­aging Director, Alliance Theatre Season Subscriptions for the 1975 season are going fast, but good seats are still avail­able. In anticipation of sell-out per­formances Bishop urges everyone to obtain a permanent seat in order to avoid Box Office lines. Last season the subscription list doubled, and this year’s drive has exceeded all expectations. Subscriptions sell for as little as $20.00 each, and theatre-goers may save up to $ 11.00 on a pair of season tickets by subscribing now. A pair of season tickets makes the perfect Christmas gift for that person who is “impossible to shop for.”

Subscribers will be given V 1 P Treatment this year with not only a savings on six outstanding plays, but half price admission to The Carl Rat­cliff Dance Series, three free private movie screenings, free performances by The Studio Company, and many special social activities.

PROGRAM NOTES BY PAUL AFFELDERSymphony No. 32 in G major (K. 318)

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart(1756-1791)

This rarely performed work is really not a symphony at all but a sinfonia, the term used to describe an instru­mental introduction to a vocal com­position. As used in Mozart’s day and for some time thereafter, the term sinfonia was applied most specifically to an overture—usually an operatic overture—in the Italian style—that is, two fast movements surrounding a slow movement. It was by expanding the form of the sinfonia that the symphony, as we know it, came into being.

Since no concert overtures were written before Beethoven’s time, the purpose to which this miniature Sym­phony No. 32 in G major was to be put remains unclear. Mozart completed it on April 26, 1779, not long after his return to his native Salzburg after his long journey to Mannheim and Paris.

The symphony-overture begins with a vigorous Allegro spiritoso in 4/4 time that has a contrasting second theme of gracefully delicate character. This is followed by the customary development section, except that here Mozart intro­duces a third theme. Then, at the point where the development would normally give way to the recapitulation of the opening material, there is a brief pause, a change of tempo to Andante and of time signature to 3/8 for a full-fledged slow movement that is both tender and expressive. As it reaches its final note, the music reverts to Tempo primo—in other words, the Allegro spiritoso of the opening—and the time to 4/4 for the delayed recapitulation of the first part. This last section begins, however, with the second theme, the first not making its appearance until the coda.

Mozart’s reason for scoring the work for four horns, as opposed to two each of the other wind instruments, was not to reinforce either the sound or the harmony but to accommodate a wider range of notes, since the horns, being without valves, could only play certain notes. Therefore, two of the horns are in G and two are in D.

Sonorities for OrchestraHall Overton (1920-1972)

The late Hall Overton pursued some­thing of a double musical life. After studying piano at the Chicago Musical College, he spent three years in the army overseas during World War II, and at that time learned to play jazz piano. Following his war service, he enrolled in the Juilliard School of Music in New York, studying composition with Vincent Persichetti and graduating in 1951, after which he did further work in composition with Wallingford Riegger and Darius Milhaud. It was during this same period that he began to play jazz piano professionally. Later, Overton himself taught composition at Juilliard and theory and jazz at the New School.

As a composer of so-called “serious” or “classical” music, Overton had to his credit several operas, two sym­phonies, a quantity of chamber music, some keyboard works and songs. In the field of jazz, he wrote a number of original works and served as ar­ranger for Thelonius Monk.

“My attitude towards jazz,” Overton once wrote, "is one of deep respect. Having attempted to master this difficult and exacting art for several years with some small degree of success, I feel I have come to know it in a way that is only possible through actually per­forming and creating in this idiom. Jazz has had a strong influence on my com­positional style, but purely on a sub­conscious level, for I am opposed to the practice of trying to make jazz ‘respectable’ through the unnatural im­position of classical forms or ma­terials.”

Sonorities for Orchestra was com­missioned by John Lewis, pianist and musical director of the Modern Jazz Quartet, who in 1962 organized Or­chestra U.S.A., a thirty-piece chamber ensemble for the purpose of perform­ing primarily that fusion of classical and jazz elements known as “Third Stream” music. The work was sched­uled for a world premiere by Orchestra U.S.A, at Carnegie Hall in New York on January 29, 1965. Much of the

music, however, was inspired by the bass playing of Richard Davis, who was to have been featured, and his illness on that occasion caused the premiere to be postponed. It was not heard in public for the first time until February 21, 1968, when it formed part of the score for the ballet The Mannequins, choreographed by Marc Wilde and presented by the City Center Joffrey Ballet at the New York City Center.

Sonorities for Orchestra is just that. It is an orchestral fantasy that exploits many varied tone colors for full or­chestra and smaller groupings within the orchestra. As previously mentioned, there are a number of passages in which the plucked jazz bass is high­lighted.

Rapsoclie espagnoleMaurice Ravel {1875-1937)

The Rapsoclie espagnole was Ravel’s first large orchestral work. It was writ­ten in one month during the summei of 1907, amid the seclusion of a friend’s yacht, and was first performed by the Orchestre des Concerts Colonne in Paris on March 15, 1908. Its re­ception was quite enthusiastic, but most of that enthusiasm is said to have emanated from the upper reaches of the auditorium. After the playing of the second movement, the Malagueha, one adherent, the noted French composer Florent Schmitt, shouted to Ravel from the balcony, "Play it once again for the people downstairs who have not under­stood it!’’ The movement was duly re­peated; but when the applause at the end of the Rapsoclie was not vociferous enough for Schmitt, he yelled, “If it had been something by Wagner you would have found it very beautiful!”

Actually, the Rapsoclie espagnole is a suite in four brief movements. The first, entitled Prelude a la nuit, is a languorous nocturne, the principal motif of which makes a fleeting reappearance in the second and fourth movements. The second section is the Malagueha, a Spanish dance in triple time. The third movement is none other than that early Habanera for two pianos, first

written in 1895, and enlarged and or­chestrated for use in the Rapsoclie. The suite concludes with the lively Feria (The Fair).

Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D major, Op. 77

Johannes Brahms (1833-1897)Brahms was in the habit of spending

his summer vacations at some quiet retreat—usually in the Austrian Alps— where he could compose undisturbed. For three consecutive summers—1877, 1878 and 1879—he chose the pic­turesque little town of Portschach on the Worthersee in Lower Austria. It was here that such great works as the Second Symphony, the Second Piano Concerto, the G Major Violin Sonata and the Violin Concerto were con­ceived.

The Violin Concerto was composed during the summer of 1878. As early as August, Brahms sent a copy of the manuscript to his friend, the noted violinist Joseph Joachim, in order that he might have his suggestions as to the playability of the solo part. Such con­sultations continued up until the time the concerto was published in October 1879, Joachim providing the bowings and fingerings and also the cadenza.

The concerto received its first per­formance on New Year's Day 1879 at a concert of the Gewandhaus Orchestra in Leipzig. Brahms conducted, and quite naturally, Joachim was the soloist.

Reports on the success of the con­certo at its initial presentation are of a conflicting nature. In her biography of Brahms, Florence May quotes Dorffel. the critic for the Leipziger Nachrichten, as follows: “Joachim played with a love and devotion which brought home to us in every bar the direct or indirect share he has had in the work. As to the reception, the first movement was too new to be distinctly appreciated by the audience, the second made con­siderable way, the last aroused great enthusiasm.”

On the other hand, another of Brahms’ biographers, Max Kalbeck, re­lates that “the work was heard respect­fully, but it did not awaken a particle

of enthusiasm. Brahms conducted with visible excitement.”

The character of the opening move­ment of the concerto, which is marked Allegro non troppo, was described by the late Pitts Sanborn as “idyllic,” a term that well fits it. The second move­ment, Adagio, is like a beautiful song whose principal singers are the solo oboe and the solo violin. The finale, Allegro giocoso, ma non troppo vivace, has a certain irresistible swing to it. It is in rondo form and is marked by a decided Hungarian flavor, possibly as a gesture to the Hungarian-born Joachim.

As originally conceived, the work also had a scherzo movement, but Brahms dropped it, as it did not fit in with the style of the rest of the con­certo. Kalbeck believes that this scherzo eventually became the second move­ment of the Piano Concerto No. 2.

Music Director

DENNIS RUSSELL DAVIESDennis Russell

Davies is currently the Music Director of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra in Minne­sota, the only resident professional chamber orchestra in America. Recenlty appointed

of the Cabrillo MusicFestival in Aptos, California, he will also continue this year in his fifth season as director of Lincoln Center’s New and Newer Music Series at Tully Hall.

Born in Toledo, Ohio, Dennis Russell Davies made his debut as a pianist in January of 1965 with the Toledo Sym­phony under Serge Fournier. In Sep­tember, 1966, he was a finalist in the Busoni International Piano Competition in Bolzano, Italy; but made the decision to devote his primary energies to con­ducting. His studies in conducting began with Jorge Mester, and continued will Jean Morel from 1967-1972. Mr. Davies has gone all the way through the Juilliard School to a doctorate which he received in June of 1972.

Dennis Russell Davies was conductor

of the Juilliard Repertory Orchestra and a member of the conducting faculty under Morel from 1968-1971. In addi­tion, he was Music Director of the Norwalk Symphony (Conn.) from 1969-1973. Since 1968, Mr. Davies and Luciano Berio have been co-directors of the Juilliard Ensemble, a group of sixteen top professional musicians which they co-founded with the ob­jective of exploring and performing new music.

Mr. Davies has been involved as con­ductor and pianist in more than forty important premieres including works by Berio, Cage, Feldman, Henze, Maderna. Overton, Persichetti, and Pousseur.

Opera is also an area of great in­terest to Dennis Russell Davies. In 1970. he conducted the world premiere of Berio’s “Opera” at Santa Fe, New Mexico; and the premiere of Overton’s “Huck Finn” at the American Opera Center. The following year he con­ducted a production of Verdi’s “Rig- oletto” for the San Francisco Spring Opera Theater which received a great deal of attention as being controversial. Mr. Davies made his European operatic debut last season conducting Debussy’s “Pelleas et Melisande” at the Nether­lands Opera where he will make a re­turn appearance in January.

PROGRAM NOTES BY PAUL AFFELDER

Israel in Egypt, A Sacred OratorioGeorge Frideric Handel (1865-1759)Handel composed the oratorio Israel

in Egypt in the amazingly short span of one month, between October 1 and November 1, 1738. It has never been definitely determined who compiled the text. Quite possibly, it was Handel him­self, or it may have been someone else, such as Charles Jennens, who is usually credited with having done the same a few years later for Messiah. In any case, the text comes from the Bible, that for Part I, Exodus, from certain chapters of Exodus plus passages from Psalms 78, 105 and 106, while that for Part II, Moses’ Song, from Exodus. Chapter XV, Verses 1-21.

Israel in Egypt was performed for the first time at the King’s Theatre in London on April 4, 1739, and, in Winton Dean’s words in his book, Handel’s Dramatic Oratorios and Mas­ques, “fell resoundingly flat.” “This need cause no surprise,” he continues: “an entertainment containing nearly forty choruses and only four airs must have seemed cruelly penitential to a theatre audience, even in Lent.” The oratorio was presented only a few more times during the remaining twenty years of Handel’s life, and then usually well

laced with excerpts from other of his compositions. It was some years before England and the rest of the world took the oratorio to its heart.

Part I of Israel in Egypt describes the events leading up to the Exodus, and the music lends vivid reality to the descriptions. Thus, we hear the sighs of the children of Israel, the hopping of the frogs, the buzzing of the insects, the raining down of fire and hailstones, the thick opacity of the darkness and the waters of the Red Sea overwhelming the pursuing Egypt­ians. Part II is essentially a song of praise and thanksgiving to the Lord from Moses and the Israelites. It was Handel’s original intention to preface the oratorio with the Funeral Anthem for Queen Caroline, which he had written at the time of the Queen’s death in 1737. For this occasion, however, he retitled it Lamentations of the Israel­ites for the Death of Joseph. While this was used at early performances of the oratorio, it is usually not included to­day; but without it the work begins without an overture or any other in­strumental introduction. Mr. Shaw has selected Handel’s Concerto Grosso, No. 8, Op. 6 (Grave section) as an overture for these performances.

Just strolling along gaslit streets amid an 1890 s atmosphere is an experience not quickly forgotten. This is where Atlanta was born, and Underground Atlanta fairly echoes with the drama of history made here. In some places you can actually see firelines left by General Sherman’s monumental bonfire.

Underground Atlanta is the past —and much more. It’s a vibrant and fun place to visit, where the mystique of yesterday combines with the excitement of today.

Take the food. A visitor can tickle the palate with delights that run the gamut from exotic foreign fare to fresh homemade soft pretzels.

Entertainment is just as varied. Choose from the soft music of an intimate lounge, a folk combo, solid rock, a Dixieland jam session, or maybe an hour of nostalgia at an old time penny arcade.

You’ll soon discover the importance of exploring each and every doorway and passageway in Underground

Atlanta. Because they always lead to something new like specialty shops with unique merchandise

imported from all over the world, and special attractions enjoyed by kids of all ages.

Discover Underground Atlanta for yourself. Visit “The Historic City Beneath the Streets" for a delightful experience you’ll treasure for a long time to come.

ATLANTA CHILDREN'S THEATRE Active Atlanta Children's Theatre Guild Will WelcomeNew Members

A very important part of the success story of the Atlanta Children’s Theatre has been achieved through the pro­ductive and fun-filled activities of the Atlanta Children’s Theatre Guild.

The purpose of the Atlanta Children's Theatre Guild, which was formed in 1969, is to support and enhance the Atlanta Children’s Theatre; to present and encourage theatre education pro­grams in all the Metropolitan Atlanta Schools; and to train its volunteers to serve in various aspects of the Atlanta Children’s Theatre.

Volunteer Guild members promote and help arrange the sale of tickets in the schools; arrange for the creation and printing of all programs; aid with promotion and publicity, costume con­struction, and serve as hostesses in the theatre for all Atlanta Children's Theatre performances.

This season, under the leadership of its new President, Mrs. Graydon Boyd Leake, Jr., the Atlanta Children's Theatre Guild intends to expand its horizons even further.

Mrs. Leake expects all members of the Atlanta Children’s Theatre Guild to take an active part in the daily functions of the Atlanta Children's Theatre but promises that the keynote for this season’s activities will be filled with fun.

The Atlanta Children’s Theatre has become, perhaps, the largest theatrical operation in the United States and the Atlanta Children’s Theatre Guild is proud to be an integral part of this growth.

Anyone interested in children’s theatre is welcomed by the Atlanta Children’s Theatre Guild.
