early in his career, was meant
to be played with a Classical
grace. The musicians, however,
failed to recognize this, opting
for a later, heavily Romantic
style instead.
The first movement, an Ada-
gio-allegro con brio, was hand-
led well. Violinist Angel Reye,
violist Francis Bundra and cell-
ist Samuel Mayes handled their
instruments lovingly, maintain-
ing a smooth flow of sound.

The timing here was also excel-
lent.
UNFORTUNATELY, the mu-
sicians reached their peak dur-
ing this opening section. The
second movement, an Adagio
ma non tanto e cantabile, was
an array of slurred notes and
clumsiness. 'Thd excellent trills
performed by Reye were the
only periods of relief during the
movement.

Hedy West thrills
folks at the Ark

By WENDY GOODMAN
and MIKE TAYLOR
"INE OF THE world's most
energetic folksinging banjo
players thrilled audiences at the
Ark coffee house last Friday
and Saturday nights. In her an-
nual visit to Ann Arbor, Hedy
West, "maker" of "500 Miles
("I don't write songs. The pat-
tArns are set - all I do is put
them together. I make songs.),
sai g songs from her southern
culture, tales of the depression,
folk ballads, and more. Her mel-I
low, yet severe voice combined
with her aggressive guitar and
boanjo attack to leave the seem-
ingly packed house gasping with
awe at times.
Coming from a folk music fam-'
ily backgrourd, West has been
greatly influenced by the sing-
ing and playing styles of her
maternal grandmother and her
father. She is by no means, how-
ever, a folk elitist; West has ex-'
tensively studied and composed
"Western/European" (classical)
music.
She opened with a group of
songs learned from her grand-
mother. These included some

"little perversions" of old tradi-
tions, as well as "Little Mattie
Groves" and Cisco Houston's
"Roving Gambler." A thirties
love song and a '64 remember-
ance of child labor turned the
subject -of the evening to the
Depression. "How Can a Poor'
Man Stand Such Times and
Live?" by Blind Alfred Reed, ;
and Molly Jackson's "Hardwork-
ing Miners" were also perform-
ed. '
WEST'S DIVERSE singing
ability was exhibited by a num-!
her of German language songsl
interspersed throughout the
show. The first, by a German
Jew, was about Berlin in World
War 11. "Pans of Biscuits and
Bowls of Gravy" was also pre-
sented in German, as was a
song of the Loyalist troops in
the Spanish Civil War done to,
the tune of "Red River Val-
1ey' "
Before her encore of Bruce
Phillips' "Green Rolling Hills
of West Virginia," West sang
a song about a bird, a mouse,
and a sausage which typified
the evening's works: "Happi-
ness: how soon it ends, but,
misery pays poor dividends."

country's folklore, these 42 singers, dancers, and musicians display their
versatility and brilliance. To the accompaniment of native instruments,
they portray Indian dances, folk dances, ceremonial dances, Zarzuelas,
dances from the Spanish Colonial period, and dances reminiscent of
flamenco and zaateado-all done with great exuberance and expertise.
