Maureen Forrester returned to
Ann Arbor last night in a bril-
liant performance of romantic
art songs at Hill Auditorium in
the third concert of the Univer-
sity Musical Society's Choral
Union Series.
In a program that r a n g e d
from Richard Strauss to Joaquin
T u r i n a, Miss Forrester's rich
contralto voice p r o j e c t e d
warmth, wonderful intonation
and dramatic phrasing. Balanc-
ing the excitement of the soloist
was the superb piano accom-
paniment of John Newmark.
The evening began with Three
Psalmis, Op. 61 by the English
composer Edmund Rubbra. Hav-
ing studied with Gustav Holst
and Vaughan Williams, Rub-
bra's style is characterized by
lyricism and intense romanti-
cism. Miss Forrester immediately
captured the audience's atten-
tion projecting these very quali-
ties;
Her grasp of the dramatic
element was sure, and amply
presented in Three Tragic Songs
by Bruno Walter. Known during
his lifetime as the foremost con-
ductor of Mahler's symphonies,
Walter managed to produce two
symphonies, three c h a m b e r
works and a few vocal pieces
including these songs.
The Strauss Liebeshymnus,
Ruhe Meine Seele and Wiegen-
lied brought the first half to a
close. Described by Miss For-
rester in the words "Hail to
Birth," "Peace" and "Lullaby,"
the charm and expressive quali-
ties of Miss Forrester's voice and
Newniark's remarkable accom-
paniment combined to take one's
breath away.
The Confession Stone by Rob-
ert Fleming opened the second
half of the p r o g r a m. These
songs, set to the p o e m s of
American Owen Dodson, were
very effective because of Miss
Forrester's performance and
handling of the difficult voice
leaps. The expressionist qualities
revealed in "Don't Pay Atten-
tion," "Jesus, Did You Know"
and "Everything in Black" were
captured in Fleming's music by
the use of transparent harmonic
textures and polytonality. As is
Miss Forrester, Fleming is ana-
tive Canadian. Born in Saskat-
chewan in 1921, Fleming is noted
mainly for his film scores,
Closing the p r o g r a m were
Three Songs by the Spanish
composer Joaquin Turina. Born
in Seville in 1882, Turnia went
to Paris in 1905 where a meeting
with Albeniz and Manuel de
Fella proved to be a turning
point in his career. From this
meeting he determined to write
national Spanish music and so
returned to Madrid in 1913. His
symphonies are known for their
combination of both romantic
and expressionist elements.
The character of the three
songs was in keeping with the
rest of the program, but the
Spanish flavor of moving rhythm
and lyrical vocal style was re-
freshing as well as providing a
dramatic climax to the evening.
In the "Romance" the music
depicts the return of a hero to
town only to discover that his
lover ran off with another man.
"El Pescador" was simply a ser-
enade and "Rima" expressed
dark, haunting emotion.
The w a r m response of the
audience evoked two encores:
Berceuse by Ives and Rhein-
maiden by Mahler. Delightful as
well as beingsdramatically in-
teresting, these songs, while
brief, captured the spirit of the
evening,
Perhaps, the most exciting as-
pect of Miss Forrester's per-
formance last evening was that
she was called in at the last
moment to substitute for Shirley
Verrett. Compliments should go
tQ the University Musical Society
for maintaining its high stand-
ards and giving the Ann Arbor
audience the quality of artistry
it deserves.

this week
The Swingle Singers from
Paris, renowned for their unique
vocal interpretation of Bach in-
strumental works, will be per-
forming tonight in the Power
Center under the auspices of the
University Musical Society.
The group first shocked con-
noisseurs of classical music in
the early sixties with their first
albums, "Bach's Greatest Hits"
(French title: "Jazz Sebastien
Bach") and "Going Baroque."
The singers are absolutely re-
spectful of the original writing
in the works they interpret, ex-
cept with the jazz rhythms used
by their accompanying drums
and string bass. All tickets are
sold out.
The Chorica Dance Theatre
Company from Athens, directed
by Zouzou Nicoloudi, will pre-
sent a program of scenes and
choruses from Greek drama at 8
p.m. Saturday and Sunday in the
Power Center. Tickets are still
available.
The group will present ex-
cerpts from the works of Aes-
chylus, Sophocles, Euripides and
Aristophanes. "We do not repro-
duce ancient Greek drama but
present an experimental per-
formance aiming to solve the
problems pertaining to the chor-
us. Choreography, its main ele-
ment, is closely interwoven with
speech and music."

The Witch of Positano
"...Vali, who looks like Elizabeth Taylor and
sounds like Twiggy, is a creature of whimsey having
dressed herself in her colorful rags, and having
painted her face heavily, she may either break into
dance, go off howling with the wolves, indulge in a
bit of witchcraft, brew a batch of love potion, or
moan some strange incantations . . ultimately she
is irresistable, so authentic are her feelings and her
happiness."-L.A. Times

NATURAL SCIENCE AUD.
Los Angeles is here.
SUNDAY, BLOODY SUNDAY' is Schlesinger's ( Darling,' Midnight Cowboy')
wisest, least sentimental film,, and almost perfect realization of Penelope Gilliat's original
screenplay . . . Miss Gilliat has the extraordinary ability to create intelligent charac-
ters who don't sound like mouthpieces, to capture those looks and sounds of the surface
of things that suggest the universes just beneath, and to write dialogue that is simul-
taneously rueful and funny, and as spontaneous as love itself. It's a movie of unusual
tensions and reverses... 'SUNDAY, BLOODY SUNDAY' opened yesterday at the
Coronet Theatre, where, I'm sure, it will remain for a long, long time."

"John Schlesinger's 'SUNDAY, B L O0 D Y
SUNDAY' is a film of such sublety, such per-
ception and such maturity that it makes all other
films-even the best of them-that pretend to
deal with the way we live in 'adult' terms seem
adolescent and superficial. It is not only a fur-
thering of the creative skills of the director of
Darling' and 'Midnight Cowboy' and therefore
a fascinatingly beautiful film in technique and
performance, it is also a multi-leveled considera-
tion of the love we live by, the settlements we
make to continue that living, the innocent de-
sroyers the generations bring upon us. Conceived
by Schlesinger, with a screenplay by Penelope
Gilliat, the film critic whose writings are mark-
ed by delicacy of, feeling, its very contemporary
story of triangular love is ultimately brought to
searingly compassionate universal terms. It is
that rare film that illuminates the deeper corners
of the heart, that probes beyond the obvious con-
cepts, that expands our understanding."

"'SUNDAY, BLOODY SUNDAY' is for discerning, serious movie-goers, who will
find it an engrossing, fascinating, piece of "now" business. All others need not apply.'
-Bob Salmaggi, WINS, NEW YORK
"There is something far more exciting about 'SUNDAY, BLOODY SUNDAY,' some-
thing almost inexpressible in a brief review. SUNDAY, BLOODY SUNDAY' is note-
worthy in a way that can't be communicated by a handful of slippery words such as
ambiance, atmosphere, nuance, mood, texture, sensibility. But these oblique, treacher-
ous concepts do point the way to the truth about the film, to what makes it impor-
tant and powerful."
