Neil “Now, you press the first valve down, and the music goes ’round and ’rouml, and it (mines out here.”~’l‘hus went the lyrics of a popular song in which a possible recipe for operating the French horn was given. Many other ideas concerning the noble coil have been circulated about before and since then, but still the poor amateur cracks and beeps. The French horn is probably the most ob- scure of the brass instruments in the orch- estra. It is also the least reliable. The solo player has to be on his toes every minute, and even then the sour notes are thick and frequent. Your author played AT the French horn in the B.I.E.A. (before I (an tered Armour) days, and knows whereof he speaks. The history of the French horn is a very interesting one. The great grand daddy of this instrument was, and still is, the He- brew Shofar. When the Shofar family began to branch out, a segment of the family went secular, and for many centuries was widely used as an instrument of the rum. Finally, in the seventeenth century, the horn was admitted into the orchestra. Since then its mellow notes have winded them- selves into the heart of the world. Well, I suppose that one could tell some funny stories at this point, in which the poor horn player comes to grief, but I just haven’t the heart. So I will close by re- citing the horn players’ creed which is never taught but always learned: “Let’s blow for it boys and hope to God.” By the way, who blew that good note? liiiskriogf and causing a train wreck? It. seems that two of the “kiddies” are still nursing brulsm es incurred as a result of sliding across the floor and ending up under the Christmas tree, Riding the crest of one of those all too familiar sub zero blasts the other (lay was our old pal and former boss, Lil, ”Alene" Snm‘lgrass, like a belated spirit of the New Year.

Now that the EDT. students have com- pleted their training and are now working for Uncle Sam in various defense plants, many of our girls are going around very sail.

Keep your fingers crossed Blanche. Wedding bells rang for Robert Kcnncy over the holidays, (or at least that’s his story), but he made the statement for the press, so it’s official. The title of the first bride of the year goes to Adona Booker who took the long journey down the aisle last Saturday. Best of luck to you.

Mary Therese MacElhcrno has decided that; the only thing left for her to do is to learn how to work a slide rule or else take a math course with Marks, for she just can’t. get the right proportions when cut- ting a whole recipe for cookies, down to an eighth.

Prokoficl’f’s symphonic. tale for children, “Peter and the Wolf”, is a delightful fable which, like most popular works of art for children, is much more popular with their elders. Columbia has made a new record- ing of this captivating tale by the All-Amer- ican, Youth Orchestra under Leopold Ste: kowskl and ‘lfeaiuring Basil Ilathbone as narrator (Columbia Set M477). The music has more sparkle but llmhbone’s narration is less dramatic than the Boston Symphony —Richar(l l-lale Victor recording (Album M666). Those who appreciate that rarity in opera, a good hasso—bul‘l’o, will immensely enjoy two Columbia records by Salvatore Bacon» loni of the lVIotropolitan Opera, a virtuoso In his field.

Bach’s “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring”, and Flrahm’s “1.0, How a Rose E’er Blooming” are given a sensitive interpretation by E.
