6The Daily Tar HeelFriday, October 14, 1988 Week facto vife By DANA CLINTON LUMSDEN Staff Writer The world's rain forests are slowly being destroyed, and the Student Environmental Action Coalition (SEAC) is sponsoring UNC's first International Rainforest Week through Sunday to raise student Concert ensemble to music on By RANDY BASINGER Staff Writer Outside 209 Hill Hall, the sound of a violinist enraptured in his work permeates the wooden-floored halls. Richard Luby, violinist and co artistic director for the Society for Performance on Original Instru ments, is practicing his selection for the society's performance Friday and Saturday nights. The Society for Performance on Original Instruments will open its sixth season Oct. 14 and 15, with a program titled "Vivid Imagery in Early 17th Century Italy." The society, organized by the string faculty at UNC, has established itself regionally as an ensemble capable of performing a full range of 17th through early 19th-century music on historically appropriate instruments. "If you really care about music," Luby said, "you try to approach them (musical scores) each on their own '.Jrj .it 7 )K" 'J . t HUM.

SEAC co chairman, said Thursday that educa tion is one of the most important parts of the battle against ginal on terms, and the biggest commitment you can make is that you get instru ments and develop playing techniques that serve specific music." ( . The society plays music on instru ments current with the era the pieces were composed, furthering the idea that music of the past is an active element in the musical present. The weekend's program consists of concert pieces representing new musical forms that emerged in the 1600s. Composers of this period created music with a pictorial image, and wished to communicate vivid emotion and passion, Luby said. This imagery is evident in Mon teverdi's Combat of Tancred and Clorinda, in which the crusader Tancred meets the Moslem Clorintla, who is disguised as a male warrior. They fight, and Tancred wins. When he uncovers Clorinda's face he discovers that she is a woman. He suffers, but is forgiven by Clorinda V ill . -v- -4' n- AMERICA Winner H Best Uiitictor CANNES niAiFF5nvAi, : 1987 H z un v v fo m deforestation. "The first thing is education." he said. "That is the philosophy that everyone should follow, education through involvement." The main causes of deforestation are cattle ranching, logging, new roads, agriculture and developments perform instruments in her dying moments, and she dies a Christian. 1 "Monteverdi is very direct. We sound a little like rock and roll the way we do it live; it is a combatamente opera in which the music accompan ies the passionate power of the action that occurs," Luby explained. Soloists for this vocal performance will be soprano Penelope Jensen and tenor Jeffrey Thomas, both of inter national reputation. "These artists must be able to communicate emotion vocally much as a rock singer in a live performance, and we have tremendous talent in Jensen and Thomas, probably the best in the country at this type of performance," Luby said. They will be joined in the ensemble work by UNC faculty members Susan Kle banow and Douglas Crowder. Capriccio Stravagante, a dance suite that expresses scenes of village . life, including barking dogs and fighting cats, is one of several instru mental interludes in which society members will perform. Listening to Luby, you get the feeling he loves his music and the society will perform with its heart and soul. In the music of another era played on original instruments, you might find the inspiration of your favorite bands today. Season tickets for the society's series of four concerts are $25 for adults and $16 for students and senior citizens. Single tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for students and may be purchased at the door before the 8 p.m. performance in Playmakers Theatre or by sending a check to: Society, UNC Music Department, Hill Hall, Chapel Hill, NC, 27599 3320.

Whittier said. 7 . Rainforests are located within a 3.000-mile band that wraps around the equator. Less than half of the original rain forest acreage still stands as a result of the population explosion in these areas. "Right now the tropics' are home to about 50 percent of the world's developing nations, and about 85 million people are added every year." Whittier said. "The people don't understand that if they use up all of the land in an unsustainable manner, there will be nowhere for two-thirds Lab Theatre By ANDREW LAWLER Staff Writer The Broadway hit "Amadeus" by Anthony Shaeffer will be performed by the Lab Theatre this weekend. The show, which won a Tony award for Best Play of 1985 and was made into an Oscar-winning movie starring F. Murray Abraham, tells of the rivalry between the brilliant but controversial Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri, court composer and mediocre talent. Kelly Johnston, a junior drama major and the show's director, has wanted to direct the play ever since his mother dragged him to see the movie. Johnston said he was far from bored: "I adored it. It was just amazing." When he found out the movie was based on a play, Johnston became determined to direct it. On his third submission to the Lab board, the play was accepted. Producing the play in the Lab has meant that the show could not be Debate guy," Dukakis said. "I'm serious, but . . . it's a very serious office. ? The candidates then discussed the negative tone of their campaigns. Bush said he was simply trying to define his positions, but Dukakis said the campaigns were not getting to "the heart of the matter, which is the future of this country." Dukakis said he was too busy responding to the labels Bush attached to him to discuss the real issues. The candidates also spent time on the issue of weapons systems what they would cut and how they would 960-3270 Gimiby Galore 16" Unlimited Items MM & ELLIOT ROAD -.a r rntniri v ai c. rriMrM!LirM X 967-4737 ALL DAY TUES.(EXC.

Rain forests are not only an environmental issue, but also a human rights issue, he said. "A lot of the plants located in the rain forest offer some scientific benefit to humans." Deforestation also destroys anim als. "One to six animal species becomes extinct in that area every hour." Whittier said. The rights of indigenous tribes to exist in the rain forest areas and their efforts to resist destruction is the main thrust of the letter-writing campaign. Whittier said. Students can write to perform costumed in 18th-century period clothes. "We would have had to rent the costumes, and that would have cost about $2,000, which is the Lab's whole budget," Johnston said. Instead, the director chose to depict Imperial Germany as a company, with the emperor as top executive and the people dressed accordingly. Although the choice was initially practical, Johnston said he believes the resetting of the play makes it more accessible to the audience. Amadeus has been played by the likes of Tom Hulce (who went to school in North Carolina), Mark Hamill and now Bobby Wallace, a junior from Charlotte. Wallace said the most challenging part of his role has been the energy the character requires. "He's much more energetic than 1 am," Wallace said. "I have to work , as hard as I can just to keep up. He's wild even by today's standards let alone the 18th century's." Mozart acts keep the country secure. Bush said he would modernize the strategic forces. Dukakis said moder nization was important, but he added that he would keep such missile systems as the Stealth and D-5 and improve conventional forces as well. Andrea Mitchell of NBC News asked Dukakis about land-based missiles, which he said he would modernize but only within spending limits. Bush responded: "You just don't make unilateral cuts in the naive hope that the Soviets will behave them- NOW HIRING DRIVERS - Earn $40-80 a night -Free Meals - Flexible Hours J i Gumby Aid 12", 1'Item pizza with soda i i JL Mike dirk Mike McGrady.
