One of the lesser known aspects of Maurice Ravel's work is the
music based on children's stories. As is the case with many of his com-
positions, the Mother Goose Suite was originally written for piano
(four hands) and then orchestrated. Only two stories of the otherwise
staid Charles Perrault are used. One of the other stories is Mine. de
Beaumont's famous "The Beauty and the Beast" which was made into
an exceptionally fine film by Jean Cocteau last year. Musically, this
section shows the transformation of the beast into the prince, with the
characteristic subtlety of Ravel. Ravel never becomes sentimental or
vague about fairy-tales, but always brings the story to the fore by im-
posing a clear melodic line on a lucid and meticulously harmonic back-
ground, and then adding color with his great skill as an orchestrator
to bring out the exotic aspect of the story. The other sections in the
suite include a stately pavane of the "Sleeping Beauty" and a spright-
ly piece for "Laideronette, Empress of the Pagodes." Pierro Copola's
recording with the Paris Conservatory Orchestra (Victor DM-693)
takes more advantages of the music than that of Howard Barlow and
the Columbia Broadcasting Symphony (MX-151).
THE DIFFERENCE between the Mother Goose Suite and the one-
act L'enfant et les sortileges is that of the fairy-tale and the fantasy.
Although occasionally a condescending smile may intrude, a fairy-tale
should be accepted on face value, as Cocteau demonstrated in his film.
Fantasy, however, especially children's fantasy, is somewhat more
difficult to handle, since it is harder to believe in animation than
transformation. We are aware that animation may not always be pos-
sible, so that the enjoyment of fantasy hinges more on appreciation of
imaginative manipulation than on actual occurrence, while the subject
and spirit of fairy-tale can be accepted as fact.
RAVEL'S SUCCESS with his one-act fantasy, based on the libretto
written for him by Mme. Colette, is therefore all the more remarkable,
in that it is highly convincing. L' enfant et les sortile'ges is the story
of the boy who doesn't want to study. He rebels against his mother.
tears up his book and ruins furniture, shouting "I hate everybody.".
The furniture and utensiles in the room are glad to be rid of such a
pest, and attack him. The boy, terrified, nears the fire, which blazes
forth and informs him that it "warms the good but burns the bad."
The princess in the book he tore leaves him. As the boy begins to
realize his mistakes he escapes into the garden, but the animals there
remember how he tortured them, and the trees revenge themselves on
him. Before he loses consciousness the boy binds up the wounds of a
squirrel, and the animals, realizing that he has changed, help him,
and then leave the reformed boy, solemnly reiterating that "he is a
wise, a good child."

THE MUSICAL score is delightful and highly ingenious. It has
wit and satire, in the fox-trot of the Chinese cup, the mad mathema-
tician, and the amazing "duo miaule musicalement" between the black
cat and his feline friend, a fabulous and highly suggestive duet. In
addition to this sophistication, the score has a great deal of warmth,
in the bergerettes of the shepherds who have lost their pastoral set-
ting (the curtains the boy slashed) and the shimmering portrayal of
the princess. The night scene and garden scene are very similar to
"Hop o' my thumb" and the last section of Mother Goose as tonal pic-
tures. Among other finer effects the the grandfather clock and the
parlando amazement of the animals at the boy's kind deed.

L'ENFANT ET LES SORTILEGES was recorded for Columbia
! (MOP-29) by the Orchestre National and choir of Radiodiffusion
Francaise conducted by Ernest Bour. The recording is exceptionally
clear and well-balanced, and is completely devoid of surface noises.
The cast consists of highly competent singers, among whom Martha
Angelici as the princess, Nadine Sauterea. as the child, Denise Schar-
ley as the mother and Yvon le Mare'hadour as the clock must be
singled out. The artistic director was Francois Agnosti, who is no
doubt largely responsible for the zest of this ingratiating album.

The Collegium Musicum of the
University of Michigan, under the
direction of Louise Cuyler, associ-
ate professor of musicology, will
present a program of Christmas
music and dances from the Middle
Ages and the Renaissance on Wed-
nesday, Dec. 8, in the gallery of
Alumni Memorial Hall at 8:30
p.m.
Collaborating with Miss Cuyler
are Dr. Juana de Laban, associate
supervisor in physical education,
Maynard Klein, director of the
University Choir, Andrew Minor,
teaching fellow in the School of
Music, and the Museum of Art is
also sponsoring the fete.
THE COLLEGIUM Musicum,
Miss Cuyler explained, is an in-
formal organization whose pur-
pose is the preparation and per-
formance of ancient and little
known music, written before 1600.
"The reason we have so few per-
formances of music of that time is
that the system of recording
music by notes changed complete-
ly in 1600 and all the music has
to be trnscribed by scolars before
it is ready for performance today.
All nusic performed for these pro-
grnams is preparedl by stldents in
l"flsicolo ,y,' she said.
TILE PROGRAM will open with
a Fanfare and Christmas Chorale
by a brass ensemble under the di-
rection of Paul Bryan, a graduate
student of Ann Arbor, 109 N.

Lawes (1582-1645) to be per-
formed by the string ensemble and
harpsichordist James Mearns.

By MALCOLM RAPHAEL
Every now and then a few
worthwhile jazz records appear
despite the stifling effects of the
Petrillo ban and the current
slump in the music business.
These records are encouraging in-
dications that not all jazz musi-
cians are satisfied with be-bop in
present stereotyped form, or with
the even more conventionalized
and mundane product of the aver-
age popular dance band.
Universal's album entitled Ex-
periment In Jazz is a set of four
big-bandajazz sides producedsby,
as the album states, "disgusted
Chicago musicians as an antago-
nistc reaction against the low
levels jazz had reached nationally
and locally, commercially and ar-
tistically." These musicians are
largely unknown nationally and
meet in their free time on a coop-
erative basis to play jazz of an ex-
perimental and progressive na-
ture.
Experiment In Jazz has made
no startling expansions in the jazz
form. It has stressed, rather,
further development of arrange-
ment and orchestration along the
lines of Boyd Raeburn and Stan
Kenton. Sonority and broad color,
mood changes, dynamic expansion
is their major emphasis. However,
what really distinguishes this
group is not so much "newness,"
but an enthusiasm and vigor that
is the result of this being their
own music. One is aware that
these are not arrangements stuff-
ed down their throats by "arty"
leaders and subsequently played
almost unconsciously in hundreds
of commercial jazz concerts.
Sides include; Lonely Town by
Leonard Berstein with vocal by
Shelby Davis; Orion, a fast,
swinging original which is de.
veloped very logically and tightly;
For Roger, a Kentonesque affair
which is a little too affected; and
Stairway To The Stars, a superb
arrangement of a too-seldom
played melody. The group was di-
rected by Bill Rinsso.
Columbia has just released
Gene Krupa's . How High The
Moon. This record was probably
recorded over two years ago. It
features the tenor work of Charlie
Ventura who left the band some
time ago. This is a competent job
of eclectric arranging, synthesiz-
ing for big-band the many now-
too-familiar riffs that small bop
combos have developed out of this
tune. Scholars will recognize
snatches of BirdLore, Deep Pur-
pie, Flamingo, etc. A record like
this is very pleasant but certain-
ly not exciting enough to initiate a
quest for more colorful adjectives.
The other side features Anita
O'Day singing Tea For Two. An-
ita was the gal who inspired
Kenton's lungless June Christie..
although Christie has been over-
heard to say, "Anita O'Day?
Who's she?" Anita has it all over
June Christie. Her vocal cords
seem intact, so does her dia-
phragm. She also is capable of
distinguishing B from B fiat, an
ability apparently beyond the
grasp of Christie.
While on the subject of vocals,
I should mention Sarah Vaughn's
version of I've Got The World On
A String. Sarah sings this fine
old Cole Porter tune in a manner
that is a far cry from her early
Lover Man days. Her early style
was much fresher, but this isn't
bad stuff. Unlike many jazz sing-
ers, Sarah projects her voice in
pre-microphone tradition. Her
voice has a fine rich legitimate
quality which is combined with
just enough roughness to give jazz
quality. She has a vibrato and
linear concept very much like Bil-
ly Ekstine, the band-leader with
whom she sang for some time. She
is backed on this record by a nice
soupy studio band under the di-
rection of Ted Dale.

TIME says
A Great subject and a great creative
medium, peculiarly well suited to each
other, meet and are combined into one
of the better events in the history of
pure cinema.
The subject-the daily and lifelong
effort of rural man as a part of nature
and as a portion of eternity--is one of
the grandest themes there is, and has
inspired a long creative tradition. In
that Great line, Farrebique deals with
its theme in terms which the theme cries
out for-Absolute Realism.
This realism is as distinct from the
stodgy realism of "documentaries" as
the poetry which it breeds is distinct
from the sickly prettiness of most "art"
movies. For unadorned, undoctored
beauty, immediacy and sensuous abun-
dance, the film is unique . . . A brief
shot of a mating bull, almost as if fly-
ing, is followed by a closeup of a bee,
its back arched almost to cracking as
it rides a flower. A woman wrenches
in childbed ...
FARREBIQUE will probably be slow
in winning the immense audience to
which it speaks. Those who go to the
film in its own spirit and with even a
fraction of its own perceptiveness will
find it deeply absorbing, moving, sat-
isfying and chastening.
