“El Noi de la Mare” (“The Son of Mary”) is a beautiful Catalonian folksong. Originally a Christmas carol, this anonymous, sixteenth- century melody was arranged for guitar by Miguel Llobet (1878– 1938) and brought to prominence by the great twentieth-century guitarist Andres Segovia. Since then, generations of classical gui- tarists have played it as an encore. I first heard “El Noi de la Mare” some thirty years ago. Re- cently, I chanced to hear it again and decided to add it to my reper- toire. After working out the technical problems of the piece (its simple, arch-shaped phrases belie complex fingerings and challeng- ing position-changes), I recorded it, hoping to gain some insight. To my chagrin, I discovered that I had unintentionally arpeggiated many chords, which is to say, I had broken them into successions of notes. I was reminded of a comment by the concert guitarist Alice Artzt, for whom I once played a movement from Bach’s first cello suite. “You have Segovia’s disease,” she wryly noted, having listened to me break chords that should never have been broken. JON ARONSON shares of his lifetime of experiences living in and among multiple people groups To arpeggiate a chord is not in itself a technical flaw. Properly in Africa in his new book, Drinking the Wind: Memoirs of an African Odyssey. executed and appropriately placed, arpeggios can impart a harp-like feeling to a phrase or cadence. Played on the guitar, arpeggios may Houghton College professor shares also add a dreamy Spanish flavor, evoking afternoons in Madrid or nights in Barcelona.

A happy tree is a watered tree WELLSVILLE--If you are one of the 33 million Americans that decorate their home with a real tree for the Christmas season, re- member a happy tree is a watered tree. Not only will it keep the tree looking fresh and smelling good, it will also keep the tree safe. A dry tree can easily be sparked by a short in lights, an open ROCKBURGERS candle, or a match. A dry tree can ignite and be completely engulfed ! with flame in a matter of three seconds, and in less than 40 have an entire room full of flames. So remember a WET tree is a SAFE tree. For more information on fire safety contact the American Red Cross office on Main Street, Wellsville, or call 585-593-1531. #& "& "& !* &!$ " +( &! " +$%% !
