Page Four THE SALEMITE April 14 French Club Hears Nancy Wurtele On French Music By Pat Sanders Four twentieth century French composers, Debussy, Faure, Satie, and Ravel, were the topic of a lec ture presented by Nancy Wurtele for the French Club on April 12, at 7 p.m., in Shirley Recital Hall. Miss Wurtele compared the dis sonance of Debussy to the melodic harmonization of Faure, to the pe culiar and unpredictable chords of Satie, and to the modal scales of Ravel. The theme of the program was “The Concept of Tonality.” The Renaissance was the period of branching out for French com posers Farly Romanticists had used the diatonic scale to evoke strong emotion. Debussy introduced the V ocalistT oGive Civic^Concert John Alexander will be per forming for the Civic Music Asso ciation on Sunday, April 16, at 3 p.m. He has won for himself top positions among vocal artists of America with his unusual voice. A native of Mississippi, Mr. Alex ander appeared in his first opera as Canio in “Pogliacci.” Since 1957, when he made a highly successful debut with the New York Opera, he has been a leading tenor. He has played the Duke of Mentua in “Rigoletto,” Hoffman in “Tales of Hoffman,” and many others. One after another of the critics hail John Alexander as possessing a true dramatic ability as well as a clear pleasing voice. Senior Presents Music Program Fay Jackson presented her Senior Piano Recital on Friday, April 7, at 8;1S p.m., in Shirley Recital Hall. A student of Nancy Wurtele, Fay played Bach’s Toccata in D major, Debussy’s Bruyeres, Toch’s Capri- cetti. Op. 36, and Mendelssohn’s Capriccio Brillante, Op. 22. Imme diately following the recital a re ception was held in the foyer of Main Hall. ; ! - Hearts - (Continued from page 2) through!” That’s what Barbara Keck said when Bill Blount, a jun ior at Carolina, finally pinned her. Martha Comer was named the Lambda Chi Crescent Girl. This was a big step for Salem because Martha is the first Salemite to re ceive the honor in that fraternity. Finally, Betsy Teter managed to wrench a Theta Chi lavalier from Wake Forest junior Holt Felmet . . . and Carol Carson has been lassoed with a red-stoned State pin from sophomore Steve Dunning. Spring has sprung and so have the hearts of many Salemites. But to the other Salemites whose spring wasn’t quite as fruitful—don’t give up. There’s always next spring! - Art - ( (Continued from Page 3) The complete range of works in this exhibit reflects the enthusias tic and multi-talented artists it rep resents.

Though his work is often dubbed as “Impressionistic,” Debussy rejected this theory declar ing that he was merely seeking something new. Bumpy Mclver played two selec tions by Debussy: Dancers of the Delphs and Minstrels. Then the group listened to a recorded part of Debussy’s La Mer. Miss Wurtele said that Faure “re flected more of the Romantic period of the past” than of the “new con cepts introduced by his compat riots.” Then Miss Wurtele played the record selection Elegy of Or chestra and Cello. Satie, “astonishingly different from his predecessors, his contem poraries and ... his successors,” rellects his personality through his music. Miss Wurtele described his work as extraordinary and unpre dictable, deviating more from tra dition than Debussy’s. Then she played a recording of Satie’s Sket ches and Enticements of a Fat Wooden Man. Ravel combined the techniques of his three predecessors, yet remained quite different. Miss Wurtele re marked that he is the easiest to listen to and played a recording of one of his concertos.
