MAY FESTIVAL SERIES: McCoy Suggests Wide Perspective ond tenor, second alto and second soprano. Has Extensive Repertoire As regards selection of works to be performed, conductor Mc- Coy says "You usually have to keep in mind the chorus, although with Choral Union we have never had to worry about its limitations. It has a most extensive repertoire, one of the largest in the world for a chorus of its kind. "May Festival," McCoy states, "has a high reputation and we wouldn't want to choose choral works which would endanger that reputation. A particular type se- lection, for example, while good music in its field, would not be in the same class as the music" per- formed at the Festival. On the other hand, "certain standard numbers bear repetition, and are performed every 10 years or so." These works include such major compositions as Verdi's "Aida" or "Requiem." Since "Choral Union has a one- third membership turnover each year, we can sometimes repeat numbers that would otherwise be 'old stuff' to the chorus members. "We also give consideration to new works," McCoy says. However, in respect to contem- porary compositions, "the Schoen- berg 'Gurre-Lieder' is probably the most difficult the Choral Union has attempted to date, and as has usually been the case with con- temporary pieces, when we first start to rehearse, there are several chorus members who are disin- terested in the work." This is due to the fact that "many persons simply don't like contemporary music. "But as we have progressed with rehearsals, enthusiasm for the 'Gurre-Lieder' has increased con- siderably." McCoy says "I have a decided preference for choral music with a sacred text because it deals with high type ideas as against secular texts which can become very mor- bid. Has No Favorite "It would be almost impossible for me to determine a particular number which I like most as I have several favorites in each period of musical time." McCoy, who has "no favorite composer," wishes "that compos- ers would write more things for small choruses and instrumental groups. I think," he says, "there is a tendency among our composers to produce large works." Conductor Lester McCoy says, "I also love Dixieland jazz, and think it's fascinating music if it is well done." x .44 "CHILDREN OF ATHENS"--French Instructor C.G.

One-way Study Program Starts For Chicago_'U' A one-way exchange program of v students has been started between University of Chicago and Mos-I cow University. The program can only include U.S.-to-Russia students because American immigration laws pro- hibit alien Communists from studying in this country. The one-year study program in Moscow was arranged by the Chi- cago Student Government. The university authorities, although not parties to the arrangement, were said to have given their ap- proval. The cost, which will be covered by the student government, was estimated at $2,000, including transportation and tuition. The Human Rights Society at Dartmouth (N.H.) has written strongman Franco of Spain, call- ing on him to correct "the recent infringements on the rights of stu- dents." The societyexpressed concern over the dictator's arrest of four young intellectuals charged with publishing and distributing illegal literature. It looks like the University of Detroit has outdone us ... in one respect anyway. At their "Carnival," their grand prize will be a Cadillac hardtop. Michigan, at Michigras, gave away no more than a suit and a dress. * * * , The U. of Detroit also reports that one of its student watchmen was attacked and beaten by a gang of youths.

MSU has its own problems with too eager enforcement by the city of traffic regulations. The University of Michigan, of course, has been sitting tight, won- dering if bicycles will be banned from the city side-walks. But at Michigan State University, stu- dents can be arrested for hitch- hiking. A front-page picture in the Michigan State News shows a student-thumber being approached from behind by an East Lansing policeman, But if you think the Spartans have it bad, yo uhaven't heard' anything yet, At the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York, the stu- dent paper, RIT Reporter, notes that students are liable to a $150 fine plus a 150 day jail sentence for jay-walking. A furor has been stirred up among students when the Uni- versity of Colorado regents came out in favor of a proposal to al- low all high school graduates seek- ing admission to enter the univer- sity. Regent Kenneth Bundy explain- ed, "I have been unable to explain to taxpayers why certain Colo- rado high school students cannot enter the university on the same basis as other students. "There is too much thinking of Plato's Republic going around to- day in limiting college training to a select few." Another regent stated, "If we are going to be a state university, we should admit all high school graduates wishing to attend col- lege. Replied the Colorado Daily stu- dent paper in an editorial, "How low can you get?" (EDITOR'S NOTE: Following isr the third in a, series of articles cov- ering this year's May Festival.) By RENE GNAM "The music is the important thing, and should anyone let his ego become the most important thing, the music will suffer." So says Lester McCoy, conduc- tor of University Choral Union; for the annual "Messiah" per- formances and Choral Union chor- us trainer for the annual May Festival concert series. Conductor McCoy, adamant in expressing an opinion, yet yield- ing and open to suggestion on controversial topics, has decided views as to prejudices of con- ductors with regard to the music they perform in public. "I am afraid that if a conductor of a choral or instrumental group would try to narrow his field down to one, particular type music, or even one particular composer, he would be limiting his perspective," McCoy says. Present Varied Program If the conductor does not pre- sent a varied programand exten- sive repertoire for the audience,I "he is limiting the field for listen- ers as well as" for himself. "You must vary your selections so that over a period of time you have given food to everyone." This,- Conductor McCoy states, is a principle employed by the Choral Union. "Here, we try to mix selections! by noted composers and occasion- ally add a large work such as this1 year's Schoenberg 'Gurre-Lieder'." Hence, "we try to satisfy all types of listeners, "In choosing for an audience' that has been essentially the same type audience throughout the years of May Festival, one doesn't need to be governed by the limi- tations of the audience's" recep- tion of the music being presented. "This particular audience," Mc- Coy claims, "is very highly culti- vated due to the large number of concerts" given here and "the number of top artists" who have performed here. Selections for the University Choral Union concerts of the May Festival series are chosen a year in advance of the Festival. Conductor McCoy says "Usually, we make a tentative decision on the numbers to be performed while we're working on the present Fes- tival. This gives us a basic idea of what we're going to do. "This fall, I will go to Cincin- nati, and we (Maestro Thor John- son, conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and guest conductor of the University Choral Union at May Festival, and Choral Union conductor McCoy) will definitely decide the works to be done." McCoy generally makes a second visit to Cincinnati, ". . . after 'The Messiah' performances, and we go over the score and possible in- terpretation differences." At this time, "we also prepare tentative personnel placement. Careful Planning Necessary "This involves very careful planning on the part of the two persons concerned: the chorus trainer and the conductor." As a result of this, "there would be relatively few changes" instituted later on. "We probably have one of the most difficult choral seating ar- rangements in the world," McCoy says. "This is due to the space between ends of the chorus. "First voices are on the con- ductor's left and seconds on his right. This divides each section except the basses." In this ar- rangement, voices from left to right, as the conductor views them, are: first soprano, first alto, first tenor, first bass, second bass, see- 4 si RESTRI NG $4 to $12 a COM PLETE RESTRING & REPAIR SERVICE a TENNIS OXFORDS $3.95 $5.50, $7.50 i Come and browse around at oc.
