He had the unique genius to combine a thorough knowledge of the acoustical values of wood with a fine artist's sense of the good and the beautiful. Unexcelled by anything before or after, his violins have such purity of tone, they are said to speak with the voice of a lovely soul within.

The critics reflected the general sentiment of each occasion. "A pillar to be tied to in this day of shifting values is the Boston Symphony, which goes about its business of making great music as if this were the main and permanent concern of the human race. An audience that filled the Eastman to standing room last night seemed to agree that the idea is a good one. Music of this sort is the antidote to a lot of world problems. The audience rose at the end and gave orchestra and conduc- tor an overwhelming tribute."—Harvey Southgate, Rochester Chronicle. "Mr. Munch, who retires at the close \Jn -Jt ^rtiali i/ole of the current season, will go down in At the beginning of your social Boston's fine musical tradition as one of season - a jewel-toned teagown the greatest."

The name itself means "small", and the arrangement of keys is very similar to that of an ordinary flute. But the piccolo is an octave higher than a flute in C and reaches almost to the upper limit of recognizable pitch, though the highest notes (4th octave above middle C) are too piercing to be often used. While the piccolo first became popular in the military bands of the late 18th century, it was quickly accepted in the symphony. Gluck and Beethoven used its hard, bright tone to accentuate "storm" music; Wagner and a great many modern composers have also put its birdlike brilliance to good use.

[263] WHAT'S ON YOUR MIM)» MUSIC OR4> All of us have moments when we listen but don't really hear. Indeed there are some people who may sit through this entire concert without hearing a note of it. Instead of riding on the waves of a rich melodic strain, or admiring the developing structure of a classical symphony, their minds are busy with myriad details of business or personal affairs. If you're one of these distracted people and your investments are the cause of your mind wandering, Old Colony Trust Company has news which should interest you. Our investment specialists can give your portfolio full-time attention and offer you valued counsel on what to buy and sell — and when. We'll keep all your records in detail too, saving you work and worry when tax time rolls around.

EIGHTY-THIRD SEASON 1963-1964 TAKE NOTE The precursor of the oboe goes back to antiquity — it was found in Sumeria (2800 bc) and was the Jewish halil, the Greek aulos, and the Roman tibia • After the renaissance, instruments of this type were found in complete families ranging from the soprano to the bass. The higher or smaller instruments were named by the French "haulx-bois" or "hault- bois" which was transcribed by the Italians into oboe which name is now used in English, German and Italian to distinguish the smallest instrument • In a symphony orchestra, it usually gives the pitch to the other instruments • Is it time for you to take note of your insurance needs? • We welcome the opportunity to analyze your present program and offer our professional service to provide you with intelligent, complete protection. invite i .
