Page Four THE TAR HEEL Saturday, February 18 192S Weaver Completes ; " Lectures on Music Of Concert Program Interprets Pieces on Cleveland ehestra Program. Or- The discussion of the material to be used in the Cleveland Symphony concert in Durham Monday night was completed in the Wednesday afternoon music lecture in Pearson Hall. In this lecture Professor P. J. Weaver dealt with the Bacehanale from Wagner's "Tannhauser" and fin ished his explanation of the Introduc tion and March from "Le Coq D'Or." In taking up the Bacchanale, the two themes were first discussed and illus trated on the piano; these themes are , the running theme of jollity, called the "Venusberg," and the "Choru3 of the Sirens." In showing these themes he gaftre particular detail to the mas tery and skill ofthe composer and the scheme by which all the major moods - were forecasted by minor themes. The lecturer next divided the com position into its four parts, played it through, and showed how the music fits in. with the staging of this part of the opera. The Bacchanale opens with a scene on the Mount of Venus, where Tannhauser is wooing Venus. A train of the Bacchantes rush from the back of the cave in a frenzied dance. They wildly dart through the groups of nymphs and tender couples, inciting them to excitement also. The mad dance ceases as the sirens begin to sing in the distance, but the move mem Degins again ana moves to a wild pitch of excitement. At this point the dancer seems to tire, the tender couples go to rest at the mouth of the cave, and the Bacchantes dis appear in a cloud of mist. The mist rolls down in rosy clouds around the sleeping couples and leaves only Ven - us and Tannhauser visable as the sireens again, begin singing in the dis tance. The explanation of the selections from "Le Coq D'Or" was completed by dividing them up into their composite parts, illustrating each one separate ly, illustrating them at the piano, and then playing them in their entirety The introduction . is made up in the following order: Fanfare of trumpets a chromatic theme (whieh is our wel known "Hymn to the Sun")i the peal ing of the bells, and the song of the astrologer. The march is the wed ding processional of the king and his new queen as they return to the pal ace after triumphal victory; this por tion of the opera is very weird and the stage is peopled with a variety of strange beings and creatures. The march is opened with the appearance of slaves and soldiers, followed by the queen's attendants, dwarfs, giants, and climaxed by the appearance of the king and queen in their golden chariot. ; After the completion of these expla nations, the Schubert "Unfinished" symphony was played 'in its entirety ! and a brief analysis made for those . who missed the lecture in which it was taken up in detail. ' The remaining lectures in the Sym- i phonic series, being presented by P. '3. Weaver, will be announced at a later i date. The time for these lectures has not been changed, but they will be given as usual at four o'clock on Wed nesday afternoons in Pearson hall. "The Song of the Vikings" is the new pep song of Lawrence College. It was written by Fred Trezise, in structor of mathematics and LaVahn Maesch, instructor at the conservatory.

With the advent of warmer weath er, the mter-squad football games have been replete with thrills. Last Saturday "Virginia" and "South Car olina", pulled a thriller, while Wed- nesday afternoon "Harvard trimmed Georgia Tech" 18-0 m another in-1 terestmg game. I "Harvard" produced four smooth! working backs in Wyrick, Nash, Michael, and Gresham, but the splen- did work of these backs in no way! of outshone that of the Crimson line. The line opened great holes and the Harvard" backs took advantage 'of their opportunities. In the opening play -of the second half Nash, star. back of the 1927 freshman eleven, stepped his way 65 yards through the Tornado" eleven for a touchdown. Michael added another touchdown after-a blocked punt, and later Bud Shuler crashed through to block an- other of "Tech's" punts. Gresham completed the scoring by tossing the ballto Wyrick for a touchdown.
