By JOE PEHRSON
There are two separate schools
of thought in contemporary
music. One concentrates on the
arrangement of sounds and the
other the sounds themselves, At
last night's Festival of Con-
temporary Music the second
school lost.,
Perhaps it is a bit much to
ask an audience to completely
shift its criteria for judgment
halfway through a concert, but
clearly the audience was not
prepared for the compositions of
Stockhausen and Lutoslawski
presented in the latter half of
the evening. Certainly some-
thing can be said for arrange-
ment of sound and the struc-
ture of the two electronic works
by Bassett and Schafer was im-
Leslie Bassett, composition
professor in the music school,
has created a masterpiece of
form in his Collect, a work for
chorus and electronic tape.
Keeping the' chorus and tape
together is a continual problem
at a live performance of this
type of work. Bassett used some
unusually blatant cueing tech-
niques to solve this problem-
loud blips of sound, at exactly
the same pitch as the starting
notes of the chorus, were sent
spinning over the heads of the
audience. Fortunately, the va-
riety of electronic sounds saved
this work from structural mo-
notony. The sounds were ex-
tremely well defined, and crys-
tal precision contrasted with the
mellow tones of the chorus.

The music itself had very
little to do with the text-a
protest of the manufacture of
napalm-but perhaps it indi-
cates at least a feeble attempt
on the part of contemporary
musicians to get involved in
current events.
The best integrated work of
the program was Gita by Mur-
ray Schafe, a Canadian com-
poser. The setting of Sanskrit
texts of the Bhagavad Gita is
played with antiphony, as sound
bounces from chorus to elec-
tronic tape to brass choir. The
combination of sounds was
subtly created and it is a won-
der the performers were able to
find their pitches at all amid
all the other activity.
The University Chamber Choir
was extremely competent, and
the tremelo sounds of the so-
pranos, combined with the
wind-like sounds of the tape
created an arid atmosphere
quite appropriate to the text,
The second half of the pro-
gram was quite a contrast, and
the audience was unprepared.
William Albright, noted f o r
his accurate performances of
strange, modern material, play-
ed Stockhausen's Spiral for or-
gan and 4-channel electronic
tape. This piece is a real exer-
cise in fortitude, both for the
performer and listener.

-Daily-Jim Diehl
Electronic sounds, vibrating
much like s o m e o n e' s early
morning gargle with a bottle of
Listerine, exchanged corners of
the auditorium. Albright's suc-
cessfully completed task was to
carefully combine his own im-
provisations on organ with the
taped material. He also was re-.
quired to remember his impro-
visations to make variations
later.
The performance was extreme-
ly visual; Albright's m o t i o n
over the organ keyboard illus-
trated strange sounds over the
speaker system. This piece con-
centrated on sounds, and in-
telligent interpretation. It cer-
tainly did not deserve the ve-
hement boos of somve rather up-
tight listeners.
The final work of the con-
cert, Lutoslawski's Symphony
No. 2, was another work which
demanded a certain type of
concentration. The orchestral
sounds, reminiscent of a John
Cage concerto, were beautiful
in their serenity and oriental
bliss. This work has a casual
nature about it; the composer
in a resigned way lets sounds
drift about expecting a critical
audience.
Unfortunately, most people
were too exhausted after the
Stockhausen to pay much at-
tention.
