THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

CIVIC CONCERT SERIES: .Specific, Sliey IScrc terrific (k Tale of four hands and one piano) By Colleen Heller

Chapter I 1 ONCE UPON A TIME, there was a boy named Dallas (Weekly) and a girl named Nancy (Arganbright) who came to the little city of Decatur. And so betwixt them both, you see, they had one piano. Concert artists, unique, they were, for as piano duettists; <to be specific) they are the only performers of their kind in the whole United States. When they arrived (Thursday evening) in the little city (Decatur Youth and Community Center) and greeted the townsfolk (audience) with/ such lovely smiles and an abundance of talent, it seemed as though they, were saying, “Come with us on a musical journey, we will meet the composers, play their music, and spend a lovely evening together.” < Chapter II AT THE HOME OF Franz I Schubert, the duettists played a lively “Marche Caracteristique” I and althoungh Schubert composed it in 6/8 time rather than the ; traditional march tempo, the townsfolk had no trouble keeping up as they traveled on to hear “Andante and Variations, Op. 83a” bv Felix Mendelssohn. The music here was sometimes very gay and then, it sometimes seemed a little solemn, but the townsfolk could also catch small nhrases of familiar melodies. Thev seemed to like the four hands and one piano very much. Chapter 111 DURING THE JOURNEY. Weekly and Arganbright would : s+on and change benches at the ' piano to alternate playing. It was j interes’ing and quite amusig to i «e°, but it proved to the towns- ' folk that they were watching a I nair of talented and versatile performers. ‘'Children’s Games” at the home of Georges Bizet, had the ‘ownsfolk swinging so slowly, spinning the top. playing badminton; on the merry-go-round, so gaily whirling and playing house as a little husband and little wife. This charming suite as composed by Bizet and beautifully executed by the duettists concluded with '“The Ball,” which rolled so fast and so far that it didn’t stop until it reached the doorstep of Francis Poulenc. The] PLEASANT MILLS BAPTIST WMS PLAN BAKE SALE The ladies of the W. M. S. of the | Pleasant Mills Baptist church met recently at the home of Mrs. | James C. Everett, Sr., in theirj regular session. Plans were completed for their forthcoming bake sale. President, Neva Noll, called the meeting to order and gave devotions. The roll call was answered with “What do I do when I do as I please,” and a number of chapters were read from the book of Isaiah. The society voted to serve meals twice a month to the Pleasant Mills Lions club. Ovaal Longenberger and Mary Melching were appointed to purchase the

) duettists’ interpretation of Poulenc's “Sonata” pleased the townsfolk very much. It seemed they could hear a touch of the oriental in the music and vet, there were sounds of modern jazz.. After this presentation, the townsfolk were eager to hear more and the four hands were 1 willing to play more, but the one piano was tired, so everything stopped for an intermission. Chapter IV CLAUDE DEBUSSYWROTE A “Petite Suite” that was originally composed for piano duet. Weekly and Arganbright took the townsfolk for a boat ride. '‘En Bateau"; a procession, “Cortege”; and two dances, “Minuet” and “Ballet.” Now the dancing mood was upon them and the townsfolk thrijled to hear two familiar dances by two very familiar composers; “Slavonic Dance. Opus 72, No. 10” by Anton Dvorak and “Hungarian Dance. No. 5” by Johannes' Brahms. The musical journey i came to an end when they; stopped at the house of Franz' Liszt to hear the story of the '‘Mephisto Waltz.” Liszt was ] fascinated by the legend of Faust, who sold his soul to the devil in return for earthly pleasure. Bas-, ed on a poem of the Hungarian poet Lenau. the music sketches j an episode in Faust’s wandering! with Mephisto. The townsfolk were so pleased with the musical journey that they would not let I the four hands and one piano go without two encores. Weekly j and Arganbright concluded their, program with a “Brahms Waltz in A Major" and “A Donkey.” Chapter V AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY; EVER AFTER is the phrase commonly used to end a fairy tale, but this is no fairy tale and j the phrase is still good. The first! of—the Civic Music Asso-J ciation’s 1961-62 season 'did have' a happy ending. The musical! journey, in fact, the whole evening Was delightful. There were j no villains in our story, unless; they would be the people who; missed the concert. The “towns-> folk" in the little city of Decatur 1 say “thank you” to the four hands and one piano. The END. garments requested by the nationI al society. | Delicious refreshments were served by the hostess to the ter memi.bers present.
