The orchestra was in turn s chirping birds, beautiful zephyr winds, gentle blue skies, and all the lovely things of summer. a The second piece, "Concerto for Violin (op. 82) and Orchestra" was played by soloist Reed Smith and n the orchestra. It consisted of three i movements, but there was no pause between them, and there b was an unusual twist to keep things f interesting. Till? mini* - ? - invjiii ruiM oi the i" s evening came with the closing | i piece, from Dr. Darzs' | / homeland, Hungary. It was the | i "Te Deum" by Zoltan Kodaly. The | 5 work was originally commissioned \ i in 1936 to celebrate the release of | the Hungarians from Turkish | ) domination in 1686. It is full of the jj . motifs of destruction and deter- ,| i mined rebuilding. The USC jj i Concert Choir, which is also h 1 directed by Dr. Darazs, sang the || 2 work, which is in the majority a || choral work with a few soloists. li > . 1 1 ^Blil i ' i I I nee n ends The performance was very well received, and Dr. Darazs and his two groups got a standing ovation for almost ten minutes. As is typical of Darazs that, embarrassed by the admiring handclaps, he tried to shift the spotlight from himself to an exceptional member of the orchestra. It was a beautiful and touching evening, with both the choir and the orchestra giving their best performance to do honor to the man who has done so much for them. mi -rinm iv Free Delivery 10"amtoMidni 4 # f' wH^, x lSBnBBHrel B^BH|M^ v "MBl n jflnm / / <<6 ^ ^ <$ Need Extra Money?] Receive up to $80 a month by being on a regular blood f plasma program.Call or visit U?r1 ^ A II ?auu veil ccr || Donor Center 1 1620 Gervais Street i Telephone: 2S4-2280 Hours Mon.'Fri. 730-3:15 |i Coll for on appointment.
