By Deb Gray
This year marks the 100th anniversary
of American composers Charles Ives
and Arthur Schoenberg, and Thursday
the UNL orchestra will fly to Washing
ton, D.C., to join in the birthday
celebration.
Emanuel Wishnow, conductor of the
80-member orchestra, said he received
the invitation from the Music Educators
National Conference last summer. This
fall he discussed the program for the
concert with Julius Rudel, director at
the Kennedy Center for the Performing
Arts.
"They must have heard of us, I'm
sure," he said. "It might have been a
followup from the Willa Cather Centen
nial Concert with the Menuhins last
year. That was broadcast nationwide on
the Public Broadcasting System (PBS)."
Cather concert
Last December, violinist Yehudi
Menuhin and his two sisters, pianists
Yaltah and Hepzibah Menuhin, per
formed with the orchestra in a concert
commemorating Nebraska author Willa
Cather.
The UNL concert will be one of a
series at the Center from September to
March, Wishnow said. The festival will
also feature orchestras from Yale,
Princeton, Michigan, Washington, the
New England Conservatory and the
California Institute of the Arts.
At the concert next Monday, the
orchestra will perform Ives' "First
Symphony" and his "Three Places in
New England." Wishnow said he has
heard reports that the performance is
soldout. ,t
"First Symphony", Wishnow said, is
a youthful work written while Ives was
studying at Yale. The symphony.has the
"nature of a thesis," he said.
European models
"l think Ives was trying to behave,"
Wishnow said. "It's more traditional
sounding, using more European
models."
The difficulty of Ives" music is not just
the dissonance, Wishnow saia, pui &o
the polyrhythms-the technique of
Dlaying two different time meters
simultaneously. The melodies them
selves are not that difficult, he said.
"Manv of the tunes are from
American folk tunes or hymns. Ives
considered himself a serious composer.
He wasn't writing for the market. He
believed that no one would ever perform
this music."
Wishnow said he has learned to
respect and admire Ives' "particular
genius."
Still sounds new
"I think you have to consider that he
wrote this music in the early 1900's. His
work still sounds new today,"' he said.
"Some things that were attributed to
the influences of Igor Stravinsky and
others are already found in Ives'
music."
The four-day stay in Washington D.C.
is jointly financed by the American
Educators Alliance and the University of
Nebraska, Wishnow said.
From all appearances, this has been a
"banner year" for the orchestra,
Wishnow said. First, came the national
ly televised Menuhin concert, then a
tour through western Nebraska with
actress Sandy Dennis honoring Willa
Cather, and now the trip to the Kennedy
Center.
Wishnow served as director of the
School of Music from 1958 to 1972. He
will retire after this year.
Prestige gained
The orchestra has gained prestige
over the years, Wishnow said.
"I think this has happened because
the balance between sections is better,",
he said. -"We have a good balance
' betWeen 'fine solo student players arid
fine sectional work."
The trip could open opportunities for
future trips, he said.
"If the project gets national visibility,
it could trigger another venture in the
future," he said. "It can open a whole
new thing where music can be per
formed tnat doesn't rely upon ticket
purchasers."
