notes
This semester the University Chorus will
be performing Haydn's Mass in Time of
War with the university symphony orchest
ra. The work was chosen not only for its
obvious musical qualities but also because
of its historical and political connection
with the Iranian hostage situation.
This Haydn Mass was composed in Sept
ember of 1796 for the birthday celebration
of the wife of Nicholas II. Through it
Haydn was able to protest the actions of
Napoleon and his armies that were march
ing toward Austria. The Imperial Capital
was preparing for the inevitable battle,
and Haydn pictorially represented this by
the inclusion of distant canon fire in the
final movement of the work. The work was
chosen by Bruner specifically as a way of
making a positive statement concerning the
plight of the U.S. hostages in Iran.
The first meeting of the ensemble will
be January 19,1981, in Room 119 West
brook Music Building from 7:30 to 9:30
p.m. Community members and university
students interested in participation are en
couraged to audition January 12,13, and
14 in Room 220 Westbrook Music Building
on City Campus. Today will be the only
audition day, with evening hours from
7:30 - 9:30. All other times are scheduled
during the day.
The Lincoln Friends of Chamber Music
will present a performance by the Dorian
Wind Quartet at the Sheldon Gallery at 8
p.m., Saturday, January 17.
Renowned for their marvelous team
work, beautifully controlled dynamics and
brilliance, the Dorian Wind Quartet has be
come one of the leading American chamber
ensembles, having inspired many contemp
orary composers to write for winds. The
program will feature one such work, the
Opus Number Zoo, written for the Dorian
by Luciano Berio. This children's play for
winds, with each movement of the piece
written to a verse by Rhoda Levine, is
dramatically narrated by various quintet
members as the others play the music.
Kennedy's Children . . .
Continued from Page 8
Ronda Esquivefs Carla possesses all the
petulant vulnerability of her character.
"There are 50 million people just like
me, wanting to be the next Marilyn Mon
roe. . . she says, "automated undulating
eager meat."
She is a character without an identity
of her own, and seeking one that is no
longer valued.
Kennedy':, Children is more applicable
than we know. We sit complacently having
never been damned, denied or betrayed by
a generation. Yet Patrick asks how many of
us are warped by events that loom just as
monumentally in our lives as war How
many of us pattern after someone else,
and, as a result, are incomplete? How many
of us take our purpose from the world
around us and with its death can only live
in the past?
Kennedy 's Children is being performed
January 16 and 17 at the Lincoln Com
munity Playhouse.

"But apparently somebody did. " I said.
"Yup. Somebody over at ABC thought up "Those Am
azing Animals." An hour of nonstop cuteness."
"Animals are animals," I said, "and you both had
them. What did "Those Amazing Animals" have that
"Disney" didn't have?"
Mickey Mouse blew a smoke ring. "Animals are ani
mals, I agree. But with animals on television come narrat
ors, and not all narrators are alike. They had Priscilla Pres
ley. We had Ludwig Von Drake. Now Ludwig is a very
engaging old guy, and as good a comic actor as you'll
find anywhere, but you don't have to be a genius to see
how he stacks up against Priscilla Presley."
"But what about the educational value of the show?
Weren't parents upset when "Disney" went off the air?"
"Probably didn't even notice. And as for that educat
ional value you were talking anout, nothing will kill you
faster in the ratings game than being labeled an education
al show. An educational show is one that everybody else
is watching."
"I suppose you're right there. Have you got any plans
for the future?"
"Nothing definite. I'll probably take it easy for awhile,
hit the talk shows, do a couple of celebrity pro-am golf
tournaments. I do have a committment to perform at the
Inauguration for President Reagan."
"No kidding. I'm supposed to go there as a reporter."
"It's a small world after all. See you there."
