In 1923 he was admitted to the Band of the Garde Republicaine as saxophonist. In 1929 he founded, together with col- leagues of that organization, the Quatuor de Saxophones de la Garde which later became the Saxophone Quartet of Paris. In 1936 he left the Band to devote him- self entirely to concerts. He has ap- SEASONAL WONDER peared as soloist and toured with this group in various countries in Europe. In 1942 a class in saxophone was estab- lished at the Conservatoire under his Soft and Gentle, direction. His present visit to this country is his first.

Reviews from Haaretz Of What Is In Store, (in translation) and from the Jerusalem Post are here reprinted. You Need Only View With the appearance of the music director and conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Charles Munch, Our New Collections the I.P.O.'s season reached one of its highest peaks.

If only for one year we could have And Teagowns. the privilege of having such a great musician as M. Munch as the permanent conductor of the Israel Philharmonic! In only three rehearsals he brought about a revolutionary change in the to all poets) playing of our orchestra and still more (With apologies could be awaited from him if he could work with the musicians for a continu- ous period. [835] — My personal preference of the evening were the Three Nocturnes by Debussy and the work of Samuel Barber. Here M. Munch revealed himself in his full genius in the presentation of shades of colour and of charm. The Debussy breathed the very atmosphere of M. Munch's homeland and there is no won- der that the audience was completely enchanted. To the conductor of the choir, Gari Bertini, we must also give praise for his training of the chorus so that we were able to hear "Sirens" in beautiful sounds that do not too often emanate from the songs heard in Israel. The work of Barber, a young Ameri- can composer, is a very strong com- position both from the aesthetic and technical point of view. This is modern American music of the best type and the composer succeeds in giving a sound picture of expressive power in a musical language that can be understood by the music lover as well as the music con- noisseur while the mythological legend is wonderfully well woven into the musical spirit of modern man. We acclaim M. Munch for his choice of a serious programme by which he showed that he pays honour to the musi- cal public of Israel and his success was tremendous. Haaretz.

Old Colony suggested he use part of the principal to set up a trust for his children, thereby lowering his own income tax, and reducing the inheritance tax his children would have to pay. Helping you to get all the tax savings to which you are entitled is always a pleasant task for Old Colony's officers. You and your lawyer are invited to talk with them. The financial wisdom — and human understanding — that you find at Old Colony can help vou in all phases of your estate planning. You're invited to write for the free booklet, "Wills and Trusts."

MJta* BOSTON CHESTNUT HILL [840] "MA MERE L'OYE," 5 PIECES ENFANTINES ("Mother Goose," Five Children's Pieces) By Maurice Ravel Born at Ciboure, Basses-Pyrenees, March 7, 1875; died in Paris, December 28, 1937 The orchestration follows: 2 flutes and piccolo, 2 oboes and English horn, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons and contra-bassoon, 2 horns, timpani, bass drum, cymbals, triangle, tam-tam, jeu de timbres (a clavier), xylophone, celesta, harp, and strings. First composed as a suite for piano duet in 1908, Ma Mere VOye was orchestrated by Ravel as a ballet and so performed. The orchestral suite drawn from this ballet and consisting of five numbers, was performed in Paris, January 21, 1912, and introduced to this country by the New York Symphony Society, Walter Damrosch conductor, in Aeolian Hall, New York, November 8, 1912. The suite was first performed at the Boston Symphony concerts December 26, 1913 (Dr. Karl Muck conductor). The most recent performances in this series were on December 21-22, 1951. At that time Ernest Ansermet conducted, and included the introductory Prelude and Danse du rouet from the original ballet score. npHE French conception of "Mother Goose," as this Suite attests, has nothing in common with Anglo-Saxon associations with child- hood jingles.

  • Double Anniversary for the Israeli-American Maestro of the Ruhr Region Steven Sloane's Projects and Concerts in the 2019/20 Season
    Double anniversary for the Israeli-American maestro of the Ruhr region Steven Sloane's projects and concerts in the 2019/20 season General Music Director in Bochum for 25 years and the 100th birthday of his orchestra – 2019 is a very special year for Steven Sloane and his audience. The orchestra's anniversary year has been bookended at the start of the 19/20 season by a Ruhrtriennale production of a new music-theatre work by Kornél Mundruczó, and the regional capital of the Ruhr area also has some surprises in store in the symphonic realm. A second music-theatre highlight will follow in the spring with the first German performance of David Lang's “Prisoner of the State,” of which Sloane will give more national premières in Rotterdam, Bruges, Barcelona and Malmö. At the Swedish opera house, he will also be in charge of the new production of Puccini's “Tosca” from December as Principal Guest Conductor. In addition, as the Music Director Designate of the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, Sloane will already be presenting three programmes with his new orchestra. These days, you'd need to search for a long time to find a General Music Director who has held this position in the same location for a quarter of a century while instigating the kind of thoroughgoing changes that Steven Sloane has in Bochum, displaying a constant innovative energy both artistically and in the field of cultural policy. Since he took up his position in the heart of the Ruhr area in 1994, he has turned the Bochumer Symphoniker (BoSy for short) into one of the top German orchestras.

  • Jews, Cross the Dniester!
    1 THE ARJVH PRESENTS: SONIA PALTY Jews, cross the Dniester! In English by Alexandra Beris I was a student at the Focsaneanu High School on St. Vineri Street 1. Mrs. Kanner, the headmistress, had spoken to us about Rosh Hashanah 2. Doctor Beck, the religion teacher, had read to us fragments from the Mahzor 3. It was just two years ago that I discovered I was Jewish. I had been raised in an almost entirely assimilated 4 home. Just my mother went to the synagogue on New Year’s Day; she alone fasted for Yom Kippur 5and observed the Pass Over 6. That’s how she had been brought up in her parents’ home, in Cernauti 7. Up to the age of eleven, I studied at St. Joseph’s school, on Berthelot Street 8. In the summer of 1940, when I was due to enroll in the second grade in high school, the headmistress of the school – Mater 9 Gratia – informed my mother that the new racial laws precluded me from attending a Christian school, notwithstanding the fact that my maternal language was German. 1 Street in Bucharest, Romania 2 Jewish New Year 3Judaic prayer book 4 Reference to the assimilation of the Romanian Jews into the Romanian culture 5 Jewish holiday, observed by fasting and praying for forgiveness of the sins 6 Jewish holiday, marking the reentry of the Jewish people into Israel after their exile in Egypt 7 City in Northern Bucovina, formerly part of Romania, today part of the Ukraine 8 Street in Bucharest, Romania 9 Latin for “Mother” 2 Walking down from the Cismigiu Park 1 towards our home in the Kogalniceanu Plaza 2, I asked my mother: - What does Jewish mean? As a Jewess, am I different from my other colleagues? Monica Farado, who is Catholic, or Mariuca Radulescu, who is Orthodox 3, do they have a different God? My mother was searching for words.
