YxiCanlell AGood Ol’ Boy By What Keeps Him Company

Xt, Brebel.

Used to be you could spot one a country mile away. Getting tougher all the time though. Because the good ol' boys ain't who they used to be. Exactly.

Now you're just as likely to find 'em moving and shaking in the city as hunting and fishing in the country. They're run­ning fast and working hard, trying to change the South. But still, beneath all that "Wall Street'' outside, you'll find a little Main Street inside. Maybe that's why this New South everybody's talking about is turning out to be the real South. Because a good or boy has the sense to keep what's

good, change what's not and the wisdom to know the difference.

You can even see it in his whiskey Rebel Yell, made and sold only below the Mason-Dixon line. Rebel Yell's whisper of wheat im­parts a smooth, luxurious flavor tailored especially for the good ol' boy in each of us.

Keep company with the Host Bourbon of the South. Ask for Rebel Yell. And if you don't recognize any good ol' boys in the room, don't worry. They'll recognize you.

mi___________________ATLANTA CHILDREN'S THEATRE

Fast-paced ProductionRunning through February 17

Atlanta Children’s Theatre presents the musical farce Punch and Judy through February 17 on the Alliance Theatre stage with performances for school groups Monday through Friday mornings and a Saturday matinee at 2:30 p.m. February 5.

Mark Young and Nancy Jane Clay as Punch and Judy head up an all-star cast in this fast-paced production which is loaded with slapstick, song and dance.

Ray Stephens plays Toby, the singing dog, and Eric Price and Rob Zapple combine their talents as the front and back of Hector, the dancing horse. John Dance is the very funny and very confused doctor; William Colquitt is the scary hangman; and Patricia Landon is the professor who completely loses her head. Price also plays the devil who enters the story in several disguises—one that sounds a lot like Mae West.

Accompanist on the piano and the celeste is Paul Ford. Designer Ruth Ann Maddux and her costume staff, headed by Renee Wolfe, worked hundreds of hours creating the masks each character wears and the colorful and complicated costumes. Punch wears the traditional hump-back, big stomach and hook nose.

A scene from Punch and Judy with Nancy Clay and Mark Young.

ATLANTA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

Projects Flourish at the Women's Association

Through February the Atlanta Symphony Women’s Association will be devoting a majority of its time fulfilling the $ 115.000 goal which was set for the 1976-77 Individual Gifts Campaign. The campaign officially closes the last day of February. By that time they hope to have met, and exceeded their goal, so that the Symphony can continue to afford its status as Atlanta’s cultural leader.

The Atlanta Symphony has come a long way in its short history of thirty-two years. Last year after the Symphony’s tour to Washington and New York, it was hailed by the critics around the country as “a first- class ensemble,” and as having “attained major status.”

Thus, as the Atlanta Symphony continues to achieve excellence, it must also continue to increase its operating expenses.

No orchestra in the world supports itself solely through ticket sales and without the assistance of the community it serves. The price of unsubsidized tickets would be so outrageous that the majority of Atlantans could not enjoy their city’s Symphony.

Last year, some 3,700 Atlantans contributed more than $225,000 to help the Symphony meet the ever-increasing costs of performing. This year, the $115,000, which will hopefully be collected from the Individual Gifts Campaign, is just a portion of the overall goal of $290,000.

The Symphony belongs to all of Atlanta’s people—let’s maintain it. nurture it and help it flourish.

Persons wishing to help with the campaign or to make a contribution to the orchestra should contact the Women’s Association Office (892-3600, ext. 252) or

The Alliance Theatre Company is conducting a direct fund raising campaign. It is called the Angel Campaign because in theatrical tradition a financial backer is referred to as an “angel.”

The Alliance Theatre’s budget for 1977-78 is $422,000. It is anticipated that ticket revenue will amount to only one-half of this figure. An allotment of funds from the Atlanta Arts Alliance, foundations, and government grants will help us greatly, but supplementary funding is a necessity. This year we will need an additional $20,000 to balance our budget.

We hope you will help us by making a contribution this year. Through your contribution we will continue to add to the city's cultural heritage and produce those productions which are so important for Atlanta’s cultural environment.

Your contribution is tax-deductible.Mail to: Alliance Theatre Company, 1280 Peachtree St., NE, Atlanta, Ga. 30309

PROGRAM NOTES by David Hinshaw

Symphony No. 29 in A Major, K. 201 Wolfgang Amadues Mozart

(1756-1791) It is difficult to imagine the traumas of

being an eighteen year old “has been,” but such was the case of Mozart in 1774, the year he wrote his 29th Symphony. A new archbishop had arrived in Salzburg who had little awareness of, or appreciation for, Mozart’s genius. Consequently, the brilliant young prodigy led a life of poverty and lacked the public acceptance which had been his fortune in earlier years.

At the time his public acceptance was waning his writing was becoming more mature and emotionally profound. This becomes obvious on hearing his Symphony No. 29. To Theodor de Wyzewa this work was, “in point of invention and scoring, the most perfect product of the whole first period of Mozart’s career”; Georges de Saint-Foix called it “one of Mozart’s most characteristic instrumental masterpieces. ... I very much doubt if any youth, on completing his eighteenth year, has ever shown an equal effort or produced comparable beauty.”

Alfred Einstein offered the following notes on the work.

There is a new feeling for the necessity of intensifying the symphony through imitation, and of rescuing it from the domain of the purely decorative through a refinement of detail such as is characteristic of chamber music. The instruments change character: the strings become wittier, the winds lose everything that is simply noisy; the figuration drops everything merely conventional. The new spirit shows itself in all the movements: in the Andante, which has the delicate formation of a string-quartet movement, enriched by the two pairs of wind instruments; in the Minuet, with its contrast of grace and almost Beethoven-like violence; in the Finale, an allegro con spirito that is really con spirito, and which contains the richest and most dramatic development section Mozart had written up to this time. It is understandable that these symphonies satisfied Mozart even in his Vienna period and that he produced them at his ‘academies’ with only slight changes in the scoring. What an immense distance he had traveled from the Italian sinfonia! Who in Italy would have written such a work, and where would it have found its audience?

Variations for OrchestraLuigi Dallapiccola (1904-1975)

Michael Palmer has chosen for his final subscription concert a work by the very gifted Italian composer Luigi Dallapiccola. Heretofore, Atlanta audiences have not heard his music.

Known primarily as a vocal composer he began writing in the style of Schoenberg and Webern in the early 30’s. Yet his main purpose was not to use the twelve-tone system as envisioned by Schoenberg but to add his own Mediterranean neo-classical temperament to an existing discipline. There are long stretches in his works where strict observance of “note-rows” is forgotten in the interest of expression and variety.

Variations for Orchestra is one of only four works for orchestra. It was originally a work for piano dedicated to and written for his daughter Anna. In 1954 the Louisville Symphony commissioned him to orchestrate it for presentation in Louisville. The work differs from the traditional form of theme and variations by using variations on harmonies, rhythms and showing the variations of color in the instruments.

While the music of Dallapiccola is modern, his life style was tied to the past. On one occassion a student of his asked for a recommendation. Dallapiccola proceeded to pull from his desk drawer a sheet of paper and a quill pen. After writing his letter he sprinkled sand over the wet ink and finally shook the lose sand away. The bewildered student asked why he used such an old method of writing. The maestro responded that it was a symbol of the past, and it was the past which gave him guidance and inspiration for his modern music.

Concerto No. One in D Minor For Piano and Orchestra, Op. 15Johannes Brahms (1833-1897)

The public reception of the first piano concerto Brahms wrote was less than enthusiastic. Audiences found the music too austere and gloomy. Fortunately today’s audiences find it one of the most powerful and romantically brilliant works ever written.

HIGH MUSEUM OF ART

Art World Lecture: Robert Stern to Speak At High Museum February 14

Robert A. M. Stern, the eminent architect and critic, will be the first guest of the new year in the Members Guild’s Art World Speaker Series. Stern’s reputation is based on romantic reactionary architecture in rebellion against the last stages of Bauhaus influence and the International Style. His projects have frequently been published in such professional journals as Architectural Record, Domus, and Progressive Architecture, as well as in House and Garden and House Beautiful. His accomplishments include membership in New York’s Mayor’s Panel of Architecture and participation in the 1976 Venice Biennale as part of the American team of architects invited to submit exhibits based on a New Suburbia. With his partner John Hagman, Stern was one of the winners of the national Roosevelt Island Architectural Competition. Educated at Columbia and Yale—and presently on the Columbia faculty—he is the author of New Directions in American Architecture and George Howe: Toward a Modern American Architecture. Stern has also produced several notable exhibitions— such as 40 under 40: Young Talent in Architecture and The Shape of Cities in Our Time at the Museum of Modern Art— and is well-known as a provocative and entertaining speaker. The lecture, free and open to the public, will begin at 8 p.m. in the Walter Hill Auditorium. Seating may be limited. The lecture will be followed by a Members-only reception.

NOTES (continued)

“That’s a theme for a symphony,” remarked Anton Bruckner upon hearing the opening theme of the first movement. Little did he know at the time that indeed it had been the theme for what Brahms had hoped would be his first symphony. The shadow of the mighty Beethoven, however, caused the twenty-three year old Brahms to write what some have termed a “symphony with piano accompaniment.”

Following the famous first theme are two rather introspective ideas played by the violins. The first theme reappears in this extended development section. Milton Cross wrote of the remaining work:

When the anger is spent the piano enters softly with a reflective theme. The piano then

engages the first three themes before embarking on a new idea—a rhapsodic melody. But the essential mood of the movement is that of turmoil—so much so that it is believed to reflect Brahms’ agitation on learning that his dear friend Robert Schumann had tried to commit suicide.

The inscription above the second movement suggests that this part of the concerto may have been inspired by Schumann’s premature death in 1856: Benedictus qui venit in nomine Dei. It is a deeply felt elegy. Muted strings and bassoons share a melody which speaks the pathos of a broken heart. The finale breaks the spell. The piano enters with an exuberant and spirited theme which sets the tone for the movement.

The work ends in D Major following a tempestuous coda.

ARTISTS

CLAUDIO ARRAU “One regards Arrau

as a sort of miracle. He makes the piano live, like God teaching Adam on Michel­angelo’s Sistine Chapel roof; liquid, mysteri­ous, profound, alive,” stated The Sunday

Times, of London.Throughout Arrau’s long career, which

began as early as the 1920’s, he has consistently put a staggering keyboard mastery at the total service of his art. He has achieved fame not only as a celebrated interpreter of Beethoven, but also of Schumann, Brahms, Chopin, and Liszt.

As Sir Neville Cardus, the late and revered dean of London music critics, has written, “No living pianist surpasses Arrau’s comprehensive mastery of style, flexible enough to accommodate musical extremes from Chopin to Debussy, Schumann to Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms, to Liszt.”

Arrau was born in Chilian, Chile. At four years of age he was able to play a Beethoven Sonata off a printed page

without any formal training. At five, he gave his first recital in Santiago, and at seven in Buenos Aires.

When his family moved from Chile to Berlin, it enabled Arrau to study with Martin Krause. Krause had been a pupil of Liszt. Thus, one can actually say that Arrau is a pianistic “grandchild” of Liszt.

Arrau’s world tours began at the age of twenty when he came to the United States for the first time. Since his debut some decades ago, Arrau has achieved fame with audiences around the globe.

Every season Arrau plays over one hundred concerts in all the music centers of the world. His performances take him to as many as three of four continents in one year. In 1968, he played not only in the United States, but also in the Soviet Union, Japan, Australia, Israel, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, and South America. Outside of Peking, there is not a major city in the world that has not been charmed by Arrau.

In the words of The Times of London, concerning Arrau’s supreme mastery of the keyboard, he is both “King and Emperor Combined.”

ARTISTS (continued)

MICHAEL PALMERMichael Palmer, the brilliant young Ameri­can conductor, at age 31, is already establish­ed as one of the finest young conductors in the country today. His performances continu­ally meet with wide

critical acclaim and great public and professional enthusiasm. The Washington Post labeled his recent performances at Kennedy Center with the National Symphony Orchestra as “brilliant and memorable.”

Recently, Palmer guest conducted the opening concert of the Houston Symphony season. His performance was well received by reviewers, and in the words of one critic “Palmer has a clear, incisive beat to make the music come off cleanly, a natural intuition in matters of phrasing and the youthful pizzazz to pull out all the stops when such opportunity legitimately presents itself.”

Michael Palmer was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1945. His musical abilities were recognized early and formal study of the piano began at six years of age, followed at age eight with study of the violin. At 12, Palmer became interested in orchestral score study and conducting and attracted the attention of Izler Solomon, then conductor and musical director of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, who invited the young musician to attend rehearsals of the orchestra where Mr. Palmer subsequently coached with him. At the age of 14, Mr. Palmer organized from among young talent in Indianapolis a full symphony orchestra, which grew to such a level of proficiency that it was invited to play at leading universities and cities in Indiana.

Mr. Palmer graduated from Indiana University where he studied conducting with Opera Conductor Wolfgang Vacano and piano with the Chilean pianist Alfonso Montecino. He also studied with the distinguished musician and conducting teacher Julius Herford, whose students have included such eminent musicians as

Robert Shaw, Leonard Bernstein and Lukas Foss.

While studying at Indiana University Palmer founded the Festival Music Society of Indianapolis, a summer series of concerts, utilizing members of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, which for several seasons met with great response from critics and music lovers in Indiana.

Coming to the Atlanta Symphony at the invitation of Music Director and Conductor Robert Shaw in 1967, Palmer’s duties as associate conductor with the orchestra have included subscription concerts, children’s concerts, family concerts, and tours.

During his years as Associate Conductor, Palmer has greatly expanded Atlanta's musical experience by premiering many works of Mahler, and by enlarging the scope and structure of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra’s Young Peoples Concerts.

In 1974 Mr. Palmer was appointed conductor and music director of the newly founded Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra, a division of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, which has performed to critical praise. The Youth Orchestra was honored by being nominated for an Emmy Award, as the result of a state-wide telecast of one of their concerts. Michael Palmer started his third year as the Music Director in 1976.

Mr. Palmer continues to maintain a busy schedule of guest conducting appearances, which in the last three years have included such orchestras as the National Symphony, 1974-75and 1975-76, where he was also in residency during the summer of 1976; and both the Portland Symphony and the Detroit Symphony in 1974-75. Additionally, he served as Music Director and Conductor for two seasons, 1974-75 and 1975-76, with the Augusta Opera Company during which the performances received outstanding notices nationally.

Also in 1974 Michael Palmer was named one of six outstanding young American conductors by the National Endowment for the Arts and Exxon Corporation to

THE ATLANTA COLLEGE OF ART

Student Juried Show

With the anticipation that this will be the first of what will become a regular annual event, The Atlanta College of Art will have a show of student work in the Galleria of the Memorial Arts Center, February 10- 24. Readers familiar with the college know that we have been having an annual Student Sale and Exhibition in the Galleria for the past several years, the most recent being the one held late in November of 1976. These exciting shows have been totally organized by the students and have been open to all students. The work displayed has been selected by the individual student exhibitor and the only jurying has been by student committee.

Although the Student Sale Exhibits have all been great successes and will continue to be held, the faculty of the college has long felt the need for an exhibit which would be more selective in nature and would better display the great depth, variety and quality of the Studio Program. The work on exhibit will be selected by the faculty of the college and will be the best examples of work done by the students in all of the areas of the Atlanta College of Art.

The show will be open to the public during all the times that the Memorial Arts Center is open and everyone is invited to come see what we hope to be a very exciting display of work.

participate in the Exxon / Arts Endowment Conductor’s Program. He was renamed to this program for the third consecutive year in September, 1976.

Beginning the 1977-78 Symphony season, Mr. Palmer will no longer be the Associate Conductor of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. He was recently appointed as Music Director and Conductor of the Wichita Symphony in Kansas.

Beginning the 1977-78 season, Mr.

Palmer will be leaving the Atlanta Symphony to assume the position of Music Director and Conductor of the Wichita Symphony Orchestra. Our audiences will miss this fine conductor, who has become an integral part of the Atlanta music scene and whose work here may be summed up in a review of one of his performances by Atlanta Journal music critic, John Schneider, in which he wrote, “Palmer conducts with stunning brilliance, drama and lyricism.”

White rum from Puerto Rico will finally play the role its distinctive clarity and smoothness have so well prepared it for.

In fact, white rum has already proven itself in rehearsal. It beat gin and vodka on taste and smoothness

in a nationwide test. That’s because all white rum from Puerto Rico is aged for at least a year—by law.

White rum is ready to take a leading role in the martini.
