>pHE LANCE, OCTOBEjR 23,1975 Fiori Musical! A Triumph Monday night, “Fiori Musicali,” a Boston in strumental quintete dedicated to the performance of 17th and 18th century chamber music, performed in Avinger Auditorium. Playing authen ticated replicas of baroque in struments and accompanying a tenor soloist, they presented Ihdr audience with a truly delightful experience. The players’ dedication to their art was ejq)lifi^ by their use of exact copies of period instruments and tuning one half step below today’s standard symjAonic pitdi to recreate even the sound of three centuries ago. A well^’ehearsed and well- performed musical program such as this is a memorable experience. Each instrument was experUy performed. Yet the whole, in this case, is greater than the sum of its parts. The Wend of the five in struments as they performed the various pieces by Handel, Telemann and Lavigne con firmed the intricate beauty of Bai;oque chamber music. Rufus Hallmark, the tenor solo,^was equally praisewor thy. His rendering of a num ber of humorous pieces Henry Purcell gave the lyrics all the life and wit they must have had nearly three hun dred years ago. The instrumental numbers were also varied, allowing 3 each player to excel in his specialty. Solo and groiq) ef forts culminated in “Meine Seele ruhmt und preist” a cantata erroneously at tributed centuries ago to J.S. Bach but none the less moving for the mistake. The program was a great success, and a credit to all in volved. Hopefully it is also an indication of great thin^ to come. EarlD. Roberts, Jr. On The Other Hand (Continued from Page 2) never get out of Neal. “Not a thing,” he said. “I can’t think of an^hing unusual he did.” “Nothing?” “Nothing,” said Hallmark. “But,” he said, sounding so much like President Eisenhower when asked in 1960 what major ac complishments Vice President Nixon had made in his two terms, ‘ ‘If you give me a while I’ll try to think of something.” Thought of the week for students trying to wrap up all that last-minute mid-term work: As a final incentive before giving ip a difficult task, try to imagine it successfully per formed by someone you violently didike. -Lin ’niompson At The Movies “There Will Be No CUB Movie This Week” Directed by No One Starring No One No one in particular called this “the ultimate nihilistic expressiwi”.

Student Play Tomorrow Consulation Held “The South must surely rise again,” as is evidenced by the recent creation of a new play at Si. Andrews College in Laurinburg. “Talisyn,” an in tense dramatic profile of Southem aristocracy, will be presented Friday and Satur day, Oct. 24 and 25, in the Liberal Arts Auditorium at St. Andrews. Christopher Payne-Taylw, the play’s author and a senior theater major at St. Andrews, says that “Talisyn” is “con ceived in the aura of Southem grandeur and delusion,” and that it “reflects the struggle to maintain a waning heritage 100 years after the Civil War.” The playwright himself is cast in the play’s title role, portraying a modern-day aristocrat who desperately clings to a way of life seemingly doomed to ex tinction. Karen Payne-Taylor, as Angel, Talisyn’s intimate visitor, attemjis through song to lure him far from the life he loves and cannot part with, to the reality of the 20th cen tury, a world with whidi he cannot and will not cope. William Peterson, ex tending the traditional boun daries of the Director, in- ter^ts with his feltaw cast roembo’s in a way that is boGi poignant and surprising. All the cast members are St. Andrews seniors. “Talisyn” represents the major theatrical wwk produced by Inquest Produc tions, an independent com pany based at St. Andrews. The group has performed around North Carolina and in St. Petersburg, Florida. The October 24 and 25 per formances of the play at St. Andrews, beginning at 8 p.m. each night, are produced m- der the ausi»ces of the St. An- drewsTheater Program as part of a series of plaj« vmt- ten and directed by students. On October 16-17 St. An drews Presbyterian Cdlege held a consultatiffli titled, “St. Andrews as a Resource to the Educational Ministry of the Church.” Consultants in cluded three nationally prominent Church leaders, who met with a group of twen ty faculty, administration and student leaders from the college to discuss ways that the Presbyterian institution can serve the Church through educational resources. Key speaker for the occasion was Efr. C. Ellis Nelson, newly elected President of Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. The purpose of the con sultation, started by Dean Victor C. Arnold and chaired by Dr. Leslie Bullock, Professor of Religion, both of St. Andrews, is to help acquaint leadership at the college with the latest developments by Church colleges in their service to the Church, including the offering of special courses for leader- .'si .u » in Tuesday’s Campbell game that won him the DIAC Player of ship development, teacher training for the Church, and business management fo Church leaders. Following this event, the college will wtffk to develc^ new programs which will be offered to the Churches of our community and region. Representatives of the Presbyterian Synod of N.C. will be participating throughout the planning proess. One new program being of fered on the St. Andrews cam pus is a course “Group Theory and Processes in Church Organizations,” of fered Oct. 20-24 and taught by Dr. Ridiard Carlson of Mc Cormick Seminary. Twenty- seven pastors and Church executives from the region will be participating in this first course of a three-year program which will lead to the Doctor of Ministry degree.
