EFLAND STEW
by Hugh Harvey
Take one Joseph Smith, a motet-
tified Vivaldi, some mixed Schubert
and Brahms, a cup of von Weber, fresh
Debussy, sprinkle in some Ives,
Barber, and Bernstein, add a dash of
Rorem, and, of course, one well
adorned and highly seasoned Barbara
Efland; blend these all together and
simmer for one hour and you have one
of the most delicious delights served
to the NCSA students this year.
Barbara Efland, student of Miss
Rose Bampton, accompanied by Joseph
Smith, student of Miss Olegna Fuschi,
performed Barbara’s senior recital
Tuesday, April 25, to a very delight
ed audience.
Miss Efland performed first a
Motteto by Vivaldi which led into
some unusual and difficult lieder by
Schubert and Brahms. Following was
the flowing aria ’'Kommt ein Schanker
Bursch gegangen” from DER FREISCHUTZ
by Carl Maria von Weber. After the
intermission. Miss Efland returned to
execute some pulsating and truly
French Debussy. She then moved on to
some English songs of Jves and Barber,
some of Bernstein's ’’Stews”, and
Rorem’s unbelieveable ’’Alleluia”.
Miss Efland will study with Miss
Bampton at the Siena Siammer Session
in Italy this summer and hopes to
attend the Manhattan School of Music
next year to continue her studies.
Oh yes the stew was topped
with some creamy Ravel with a Duparc
in the center. Very delicious...

be Duncan Noble’s ’’Mother Goose”. It is
a story ballet for children in which four

into fairy tale characters. The tales
which are told through classic dance
movements are ’’Sleeping Beauty and Prince
Charming”, ”Beauty and the Beast”, ”Fan-

Budii”. The music, which is by Ravel,
will also be played by the orchestra.
To be repeated this year will be
the Pas de Dix and the Pas de trois from
’’Raymonda’s Wedding”. The ballet with
music by Glazunov, is the same version
used by Ballet Rosse.
QUEENS COLLEGE TRIP
Several modern dancers were ”up with
the birds”, April 29, when they traveled
to Queens College in Charlotte to parti
cipate in the College’s annual May Day
program.
After the coronation of the May Day
Queen and her court the modern dancers
performed. They presented ’’Pre-Classic”
choreographed by Duncan Noble, Pauline
Koner’s ”Pergolesi", and a new work
’’Phases” done by dance student John
Walker. This is John’s first major work
and uses the dancers Lee Harper, Georgi-

TIME MACHINES
I have to tell you about this dream,
doctor. I was in this school building,see,
with lotsa clocks, and each one had a
different time. So I would be late by one
and early by another, everybody would
only go by the nearest clock, and I
couldn’t be on time, see, and I was al
ways being critized. What do think that
means?
