clue that anything else is going on.
Yet, there is an underlying story in
“The Firebugs.”
If one knows a little bit about the
original context of the play and its
author, order begins to form out of
chaos.
Frisch was German. This play was
written after World War II. In the
German context, it becomes a more
obvious statement about the Nazis
and their seemingly impossible rise
to power.
Biederman represents the German
people in the 1920s and 1930s. The
“firebugs” or arsdnists are the Nazis
whom he accommodates.
Frisch is commenting on the in
credible ease with which the Nazis
rose to power, and the lack of resis
tance offered by the common Ger
man . From Frisch’s point of view, the
Nazis must have been as blatant atx)ut
the atrocities they wanted to commit
as the arsonists of the play are.

“Well, according to the dictionary, I'm just a large,

Doris — once you get to know me, you’ll see
I’m much, much more than that."

Biederman comments at one point,
“If I report them, I ’ 11 make enemies of
them.”
He desperately hopes he can avert
disaster by making concession after
concession, but in the end, they send
his house up in flames.
An interesting aspect of the play is
the use of a Greek-style chorus of
firefighters (Ann Niergarth and Dylan
McCullough) to help tell the story.
They serve different functions in the
play. Most of the time they narrate
and foreshadow, and occasionally they
act as Biederman’s conscience.
In the end, the chorus tells the
audience, “The fire killed many, but
changed nothing.”
Though many people would ques
tion the idea that World War II changed
nothing, Frisch’s is an interesting point
to consider.
Many of these confusing moments
could have been avoided if notes had
been included in the program to clue
people in. Understanding “The Fire
bugs” without a little help is too much
to expect of an audience, and that is
the only real fault of the production.

the course to develop his musical
skills.
“I’ve always been interested in
trying composition,” Miller said. “I’m
a vocal performance major now, but
I’m not sure what my minor will be in
graduate school. I wanted to give
everything a chance. I also study
composition because it is a lot of
fun.”
Miller has written three pieces to
accompany sonnets by William
Shakespeare. The sonnets, which are
about vanity and the aging process,
were inspired by personal experiences,
he said.
“Like everyone else, I’m afraid of
growing old,” he said. “So when I
checked out a book of sonnets, the
ones on aging were meaningful to
„ _ »♦
me.
Miller said Shakespeare’s verse
also was an inspiration for his music.
“Sonnets are a certain form with
three quatrains and a couplet. Each
quatrain has its own point its trying to
get across, and I modeled the songs’
style after that.”
The songs are piano and vocal
compositions and include both tonal
(which uses an eight-note scale) and
atonal (12-note scale) sections. Miller
gives Snyder credit for helping him
write in an atonal piece.
“This is my first piece, and I had a
tendency to stick with tonal ideas and
ribt venture into the atonal world,”
Miller said. “I started writing every
thing as tonic and dominant progres
sions. Snyder steered me away from
that.”
The Student Composers Recital
will be held Sunday at 3 p.m. in
Westbrook Recital Hall, 10th and R ,
, streets. Admission is free.
