Mother Mallard to play twice David Borden's Mother Mallard electro-acoustic en- semble will perform parts of Borden's "The Continuing Story of Counterpoint" in two concerts March 16 and 17. The story, begun in 1976, has 12 parts in all, related thematically and conceptually. The March 16 performance will be TCSOC Nos. 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8, and the March 17 performance will be Nos. 7, 9,10 and 12. Both concerts begin at 8:15 p.m. in Barnes Hall auditorium. In Borden's work, the idea of counterpoint is stretched and tested to see if, literally, note-against-note can be made both rigorous and emotionally moving. Borden works as composer/pianist for dance in the Department of Theatre Arts and directs the music department's electronic studio. Mother Mallard is the world's first synthesizer ensemble. Other members of the band are vocalist Ellen Hargis, noted for her work in early music both as a soloist and an ensemble singer; David Swaim, electronic keyboardist and composer and currently freelancing in Los Angeles; and Les Thimmig, woodwind player and composer and a professor of music at the University of Wisconsin, Madi- son. Eric Feinstein, who has worked on production with performing artists including Jon Hassell and Peter Gor- don, will assist Borden in coordinating the electro-acous- Charles Harrington tic instruments.
