MUNCH'S IMPRESSIONS OF ISRAEL But, For a Heady Reminder Charles Munch addressed a special gathering in Symphony Hall, Thursday, Of What Is In Store, February 6, as follows: You Need Only View One afternoon two or three weeks ago I was sitting in a beautiful garden just outside Tel Aviv enjoying the warm Our New Collections sun of the Mediterranean winter when I received a message from Mr. Cabot of asking if I would say a few words to you here this afternoon. I accepted immedi- ately, because I know the great curiosity Lingerie, Negligees, that Americans and Israelis have about each other—about the life, the society, And Teagowns. and the art of the two countries—and because I found there again the same deep emotions and impressions that I had there ten years before. I first visited Israel in 1946, when (With apologies to all poets) Bronislaw Huberman invited me to conduct the Orchestra soon after Tos- canini's inaugural concerts, and I re- turned there in 1947. In 1948 I was [963] invited again and of course accepted. But this was a time of war in Israel. The country was surrounded by enemies. The only ships and planes approaching Israel brought clandestine immigrants escaping from unfriendly lands. I had a Paris-Athens ticket and further instructions would be waiting for me in Athens, I was told. My bags were packed and I was ready to go, but I was persuaded not to leave on so uncertain a voyage. The next year, as you know, I came to Boston, and although I was often invited to return there, it was only ten years later, in 1958, that I was able to do so. What remarkable things had happened in Tel Aviv since I was last there! My small hotel by the sea has almost disappeared into the shade of a magnifi- cent new one. The desert that was a few hundred yards away is now streets of beautiful apartments, or newly covered with green. Outside the city there is a forest of orange trees, grape- fruit, olives! The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra no longer repeats each concert seven times in a movie theater but has we 9re putting a beautiful new hall. ^ I conducted seven concerts during my stay in Israel, with two programs—five it in print . in the new "Mann Auditorium" in Tel Aviv, one in Haifa, and one in Jeru- salem. I was asked to play something they're true collector's by an American composer and offered Medea's Meditation and Dance of Ven- items, our "first edition" geance by Samuel Barber, which you prints ... in dresses, heard here in Symphony Hall last year. blouses, costumes, hats, I was also asked to do the Three Nocturnes of Debussy and this was a accessories . with spicy beautiful experience. As you know, one colors and marvelous movement, "Sirens," requires a chorus fabrics which give an of women's voices and is extremely dif- entirely new feeling to ficult. But the chorus was one of the best that I have ever had. They were spring fashions . and if an amateur group of twenty-four young you're a "collector" you women who worked in town or in Kib- won't miss them for any- butzim. They made the long trips by thing! bus to Haifa and to Jerusalem for the concerts there, and returned late at night to their homes, worked again all the next day, and came back to sing the following evening. They were blonde, or red-haired or brunette. Their eyes were blue or brown. They spoke English or French or German or nothing but Hebrew. What sirens they were! How beautiful they looked and how beauti- fully they sang! And, most touching of all, the night of our farewell concert in &*&%. Tel Aviv, they brought me a basket of twenty-four perfect yellow roses, each (Continued on page 1003) I 964 le sacque de Paris . the dramatic new dress shape for spring, eased and straight, passing by your waist to hip-low pockets and shorter hemline.

The money was left by her father, who stated in his will that the money should be divided among the other heirs if the daughter could not be found. Old Colony, as Executor, used every possible means to find her, including advertising in newspapers across the country. The woman was found and given her legacy. Just another example of how Old Colony, as Executor, carries out the wishes of the maker of a will. Old Colony would be glad to discuss your estate plans with you and your lawyer at any time.

[968] SYMPHONY IN D MAJOR By Luigi Cherubini Born in Florence, September 14, 1760; died in Paris, March 15, 1842 Cherubini composed this Symphony in 1815 for the London Philharmonic Society, by which it was performed under his direction on May 1 of that year. Long disre- garded, it was revived by Arturo Toscanini in Paris in November, 1935, and intro- duced to this country by Toscanini at a concert of the New York Philharmonic- Symphony Society January 23, 1936. The Symphony is scored for flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, horns, and trumpets, in pairs, timpani and strings. Cherubini, who felt called upon to write a symphony only once in his life, obliged the London Philharmonic Society in his fifty-fifth year. He had visited London as a young man of twenty-four in 1784, when he provided four operas in the Italian style for the King's Theatre, lingering until 1786 and serving for one year as "Composer to Majesty." From there he had gone to Paris, where he was to live for his remaining fifty-six years, becoming as French as the numerous operas which he wrote and which made him famous.

Awakened by the terrible news of the fire in the middle of the night, Mrs. Gipe had rushed the two miles from her house to the beloved historic church. She arrived in time to watch the roof collapse. More than 13 months later, on Oct. 28, Mrs. Gipe again stood with tears in her eyes as she gazed upon Our Lady of Refuge Church. It’s newly rebuilt now, and Bishop Joseph P. McFadden was there to dedi- cate it that day. “Praise God! Thanks be to God!” Mrs. Gipe exclaimed as parishioners made their way out of the church fol- lowing the Mass of Dedication. “We were able to rebuild, and we can cel- ebrate today!” For parishioners, the past year had been a long one, filled with grief over the loss, uncertainty about whether the church – a mission of Corpus Christi CHRIS HEISEY, THE CATHOLIC WITNESS Parish in Chambersburg – would be Thirteen months after a devastating fire at Our Lady of Refuge Church in Doylesburg, Father James O’Brien opens the doors to the rebuilt church Oct.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.
