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

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

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!

break from tradition with his use
of dissonance, or clash, and unique
tone patterns. 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.
