UN L prof essor to pay jiribute
to composer through pbneerts
Bv Dennis Ellermeler
For enthusiasts of the music of
Charles Ives this is a very special year.
It marks the 100th anniversary of that
American composer's birth.
Harvey Hinshaw, UNL piano profes
sor, is a nationally recognized authority
on Ives and will be actively paying
tribute to the musical New Englander
this year. Ten concerts of the two Ives
piano sonatas will be given throughout
the year.
Tonight Hinshaw will play the sonatas
at Kimball Recital Hall at 8 p.m. On
Ive's birthday, Oct. 20, Hinshaw will
rwform the same works in Lincoln
insurance business where he was
quickly successful. j
His musid is characterized by disso
nance, poiytohality, rhythmic com-,
plexity and serial techniques. In many
instances Ives anticipated important
developments in modern music in
Europe by as much as 25 years, witnm
ons is evidence of a strong
oh'entationj and a social

Later he will participate in the
country's most extensive Ives Centen
nial Celebration in Miama Shores,
Florida, and also will give seven
concerts in Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska.
'Hinshaw first became interested in
Ives during his master's degree work at
the University of Southern California in
the 1950s. Hinshaw joined the UNL
faculty in 1956 and in 1960 taped a four
part series for the Nebraska educational
television station. These programs were
later incorporated into the 1963-64
National Educational Television Net
Work series "On Hearing Music." .

Sonatas, 'written in (1909 and

Varied views of war written
And I remember Spain
At Easter ripe as an egg for revolt and
ruin
Though for a tripper the rain
Was worse than the surly or the worried
or the haunted faces"
Louis MacNeice,
Canto VI, Autumn Journal
It was just thirty-eight years ago that
Generals Franco and Mo'a sent forth the
wrath of the strong ultra-conservative'
element of Spanish society against
moderates, liberals, socialists and com
munists alike,: ushering in the internal
struggle that became World War II 's
dress rehearsal.
chvid wore
Both sides believed God was on their
side, and what had started out as a
simple bloody coup became a holy war,
peopled with secular saints and martyrs
As with any holy war, it soon attracted
the attention of outsiders of various
nationalities and political beliefs. First
were the Nazis and Fascists, coming to
the aid of Franco. The Germans sent
their famed Condor Legion to perfect its
serial bombing techniques. The Italians
sent the Black Shirts, who were good for
little save marching and singing in an
impressive manner.
The most famous foreigners, how
ever, were the men and women who
came from the western countries to fight
for the Left. The majority were
organized by the World Communist
Party into the International Brigades,
but many fought with anarchist or
militia groups. Most were veterans of
leftist political campaigns within their
own countries, the experience of
frustration and unresolved struggles
propelling them to the conflict.
From the Spanish Civil War came an
immense body of printed work. There
are at least 1500 titles! in the English
language alone, although there were
only about 5000 English-speaking volun
teers. Many works were of marginal
literary merit at best haste and
passion's heat are not conducive for
producing works of lastihg value.
But somb, like the rrjemorable prose
of Hemingway, or Stephen Spender's
Pictures inj Spain,' were destined to be
read long after the shputing stopped.
Murray Sperber has gathered the best
of the Engl.ishj-language; literature into a
single fat'lvolume; And , I; Remember
Spain, published in August by Collier
Books. Not! content with; presenting only
the leftist point of view.ihe has included
many pieces written by those either in
the center,! acting as neutral observers,
or those who actively supported the
fascists. ; j J i
In this j latter categqry are such
notables as Evelyn Waugh and Arthur
Machen, while the neutrals Include in
their number men of the Caleber of T.S.
Eliot, Antoine de Saint-Exupery and
Ezra Pound, who contemptously snor
ted, "Spain is an emotiona! luxury to a
gang of cap-headed dillettantes."
To present the view from the left side,
Spender has Culled Ihs ; test from 2
stellar collection of writers that includes
Andre Malraux, Stephen Spender, Wil
liam Faulkner. John Steinbeck as well as
the inescapable Ernest Hemingway.
The choices for the most part are of
uniform high quality, giving the un
familiar reader a chance to acquaint
himself with the feel, of a large
cross-section of literary styles.
To bo totally honest In writing about
this collection, one must add the caveat
that there is precious little to be found in
the wy of historical narrative. There is
no time-line or chronology of events
provided to make it easy for the reader
to fit these excerpts Into some kind of
historical framework. Irt a lesser collec
tion, this might have been a fatal flaw,
but the material presented transcends
this hurdle arid succeeds in painting an
atmospheric masterwork that retains its
fairness while stirring the blood and tho
conscienco.of the reader.
