8A - The Michigan Daily - Monday, February 7, 2000 ARTS Rhys o es diverse offering Jarvi conducts orchestra at Hill By Jee Chang For the Daily The University's Dance Department put on a dynamic performance this weekend at the Power Center with "Worldwide Rhythms." The show opens up with a lively "Street Facade" scene from Bahia, $M Worldwide Rhythms Power Center Feb. 3-6, 2000 Brazil. With a collaboration of dancers, vibrant colored costumes and live tradition- al music, it made it impossible for the audience to expect anything less than a pas- sion-filled perfor- mance. "Street Facade" illustrat- ed the celebration of "Carnaval," through modern group of musicians used objects like hollow tubes, glass jars, wood pipes, sticks and spoons to produce a unique sound of various textures and beats. The second act moved to choreogra- pher Donald McKayle's famous "Rain- bow Suite," a work that depicts the life of chain gang prisoners in the south. Bret Caburnay opened the act with an astonishing performance. His move- ments were not only packed with ener- gy, but he moved passionately across the stage with purpose in every move- ment. The next act, "Brincando El Charco,' lacked the appeal of the others. Although the dancers' performance was graceful in itself, there was too much symbolism dumped onto the audience. This act brought up some controversial issues as did the subse- quent piece "Slips of the Night." This work featured a string of paper coming out of a face sculpture that looked like the Virgin Mary and chantings in the background. These two acts were explorations of different heritages and languages from various cultures, but they could have been artistically presented in a different manner. There were also a lot of move- ments going at one time, which made it difficult to follow the central focal point By Joe Chang For the Daily Starting with Arvo Part's "Symphony No. 3," the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra quickly established their abil- ity to surround the audience at Hill Auditorium with angelic sounds. The lyrical lines tossed back and forth between the strings created a tense con- versation. Conductor and music director Neeme Jarvi, who Gothenburg $ymphony Orchestra Hill Auditorium Feb. 5, 2000 'N serves the Detroit S,y m p h o n y Orchestra in the same capacity, was able to bring each individual player into one unified voice. It is always easier for orchestras to play loud, crash- ing notes. as opposed to quiet, controlled tones, but the. orchestra had no problem achieving either Giya Kancheli's "Vom Winde Beweint." Bachmet enchanted the audi- ence with this four movement piece through his zeal and delicacy. The orchestra did an excellent job compli- menting the violist in his solo, as he wove in and out of melodic harmonies The low rich tone of the viola filled the auditorium with sounds of sorrow and love. The romantic piece was played with such ease by Bachmet, as he moved up and down the viola with quick movements. Bachmet's deep vibrato intensified the piece, redefining the ability for the sounds of a viola. Bachmet achieved a. great range of sound qualities He was not afraid to attack the instrument too produce aggressive tones. At the same time, he could gracefully pour out soft and delicate tones. The orchestra selected a perfect concluding piece, Shostakovich's- "Symphony No. 6 in b minor, Op. 54." This piece reaffirmed the passion of music in the auditorium. The brass and percussion brought the piece to life, with their loud and bold sounds. The Gothenburg Symphony fin-' ished with a much appreciated: encore. Through this performance,; the orchestra once again showed the audience the rich, vibrant tones of each section.

Dancers performed with zeal, which drawed in the audiences attention. Between the first act and the second act, the audience was visited by a group of musicians that performed a short live piece. Unlike traditional instruments encountered in most music groups, this through the dance. Since the two acts were so packed with symbolism, it became overwhelmingly difficult to understand the meanings. The various actions taking place on stage only dis- tracted the audience from the message. The show ended astoundingly with "Canto America," which is inspired by the simplicity of peasant workers throughout Central and South Amer- ica. This act concluded the show on a good note. The dancers went all out to show to the audience what they were all about, and indeed they amazed the audience with different dance syles and moving music. The last act was so good, that the whole show of "Worldwide Rhythms," packed with its color, energy, sym- bolism and passion, would be defi- nitely worth watching again just to revisit "Canto America." quality. Jarvi brought each section to life, proving the importance of the con- ductor's role.

You can play classic games, from the common as dirt blue blinking Atari 2600 "Pacman," to hard to find imported Super Nintendo games like "Bomberman 4," with only a few minutes on the Internet, even if it's at best questionably legal. There is one important functional flaw to emulation; you are tied to your computer to use it.

Classics from the old 8-bit NES have been appear- ing again. And Capcom has initiated their own entry into the fray. "Ghosts 'n' Goblins" is Capcom's first classic re-release for the Gameboy. Legendary in its reputa- tion, the game was huge in its time. You are Arthur, and you need to save the princess or something. But largely, you need to kill a lot of zombies and other supernatural flora and fauna. You start throwing a lance, but can get various weapon powerups so you can toss axes, fire- bombs and the like. The old, simpler games were based on pr'etty much one thing; being difficult. Modern games on the other hand are based on game length. Both types of games wanted to give their customers value for their money; "Ghosts 'n' Goblins" does this by making you play por- tions of the game over and over until you get them right. It's a type of gameplay that is foreign to mod- - ern gaming; but it is what a lot of people were raised on. So basically you need to dust off your old pattern making skills, or reawaken the specific patterns you developed for the game a dozen years ago. And if you don't go insane from being unable to get past a first level evil balogna loaf with wings, you should be* experiencing some nice nostalgic vibes. "Ghosts 'n' Goblins" is just the beginning; Capcom is amazingly going to release "Resident Evil" on the Game Boy soon, proving that handheld re-releases don't need to be relegated to older classics, But "Ghosts 'n' Goblins" is exactly the same as it was in days past, except now you can take it with you. I I Brown Jug's Famous II II Gameboy can outperform an old Nin- tendo system. But of course, Ninten- do games came and went years ago.
