Japanese Music Critic Finds Winston-Salem ‘Rich in Music’ By Ella Ann Lee Winston-Salem and Salem Col lege were the last stops on a ninety-day tour of the United States for Shinjiro Noro, noted critic and music editor for Japan’s largest newspaper. Published in Tokyo, the Asahi Shimbun has a circulation of 4,000,000 as compared to our largest paper, the 875,000- oirculation New York Times. Mr. Noro is in the United States under the sponsorship of the Am erican Council on Education and is being financed by the State De partment. He is one of 5,000 tfor- eigners due to come this year to the United States on tour to see our “way of life.” Before coming to Winston-Salem, Mr. Noro toured all the largest cities in the United States. Pre- :| vious visits had taken him to New f York, Chicago, and San Francisco, I where he encountered a great deal I of variety in his field of interest—■ ! music. He had attended symphony I concerts and rehearsals, operas, I and night clubs, where he heard i American jazz and Dixieland. I It is interesting to note that even I the “Grand OF Opry” was not omit- I? ted from his well-filled schedule. ,J Mr. Noro met noted American I composers such as Howard Hansen I and the editors of “Downbeat” and I “Metronome.” I Accompanied by his interpreter, •I Joseph Sans, who is attached with a the State Department, Mr. Noro arrived in Winston-Salem on the J evening of April 24 and remained for about 24 hours. His purpose here was “to investigate a typical ' American community.” While Mr. Noro was here, Don ! Britt guided him over Salem Col- ; lege; the School' of Music; Old ! Salem, Inc; the Archives of Mora- ■ ‘vian Music being restored by Don- ,, aid McCorkle; and to lunch in the refectory. Mr. Noro, having visited many ; colleges recently, was quite favor- ■; ably impressed with Salem and ; particularly with the music here. Students at Salem were always ' ready to play for him and he found ' this unique. ; While observing Miss Vardell’s composition class, he heard an ori ginal piano number by Pat Moore and vocal number by Ernestine Eapp. In addition to this class he heard Barbara White, voice stu dent, and Suzanne Delaney, harpist. The discoveries in Old Moravian Music impressed Mr. Noro a great deal. He remarked to Mr. Britt, Now I see why Winston-Salem was on my schedule. It is rich in music!” An amusing incident occurred while Mr. Noro was at Salem . He remarked to Mr. Britt, “I have never seen inside a girls’ dormi- tory.” This promptly led to a visit in Bitting where he took many pic tures of the girls in the living room. After lunch Mr. Noro was taken to the Reynolds Tobacco Company and to the new Wake Forest cam pus. The assembly line production at the tobacco company amazed him. He was given sample cigar ettes and this delighted him. For dinner, he spoke to a meeting of Forsyth County Methodist min- ■ isters and their wives. Mr. Noro ! himself is a former Methodist min- I ister and, to add' to his vocations, I a lecturer on the history of music. Before he left to return to Wash ington that night, Mr. Noro ob served a typical American home— that of Mr. Britt and family. He certainly fell into the spirit of the household, for not before too long he was being tutored in English pronunciation by Susu Britt (aged nine) out of a first-year reader. Mr. Noro returned to Washing ton Monday night and from there he will leave soon for Japan. Of the many pictures he took while in I Winston-Salem and at Salem, some I will be used when Mr. Noro writes ! his impressions of the “American way of life.” Salem may now en joy international fame!
