Rapid City Journal Sunday, May 6, 1973 Music ushers in spring season At Civic Art Gallery Joyce Hendrickson of Minot, N.D., is exhibiting several oil paintings this month at the Civic Art Gallery, 623 St. Joe. Pictured is "Landscape" done in a flat brush style in which she builds a stormy mood from gray tones. Another favorite technique on exhibit is her pallette knife style with vivid colors laid on thickly with the knife. She also has included fun collage in the exhibit.

Mrs. Hazel Schwentker, local painter and instructor, is exhibiting several paintings in the browser section. This watercolor-ink in shades of brilliant blue is called "June Garden Blooms." (Journal Photos) Solow's appearance In the resident artist area is relatively new. The cellist's personality was friendly and he was not at all shy, After working with the public for a while, he will probably develop a sense of common interests and problems, without having to wait for questions. Many professional musicians know each other, of course, and many have not even heard of musicians in other fields of music.

The yoimger ones stand In awe of famous names in music just as you and I do. It is sometimes fun to proceed through the "Do you know game with visiting musicians. We did this with Andrew Wolf last week in telling him about Solow's appearances in Rapid City an appearances in Rapid City and Daniel Heifetz, residency in Spearfish. Wolf knew Solow slightly, but of Heifetz, he remarked, "Oh Danny? We used to go to summer music camp together. He's quite a bit younger than I and we used to tease him unmercifully.

He had a crush on my sister for awhile." by the audience as snobbishness when in reality It is simple fear. Musicians are plagued with stage fright just as actors or lecturers or us simple folk who pale at the thought of standing before a microphone and an audience simultaneously. Some musicians do not look at the audience because all those people out there frighten them. The need for communication has concerned many of the young musicians in their search for methods of audience development. The art of gentle banter or conversation must be learned though it does not take the time or discipline that music does, but it does need cultivating and determination.

The young pianist Andrew Wolf and cellist Jeffrey So-low, both here within the last couple of weeks, were excellent communicators. First off, both are first-rate musicians, but Wolf had a more highly developed conversational pattern going than Solow. Wolf, at 30, is also five or six years older and has participated in several residency situations, including an eight week session in Columbia, Mo. By RUTH BKENN.W "The flowers that bloom in the spring, tra-la." Hills residents haven't soon many western South Dakota varieties of flowers this spring, as predicted in the Gilbert and Sullivan song, but we have had several glorious weeks of the "tra-la." Spring is a musical season in a normal, run-of-the-mill year with Raster musicales and school year-end concerts tumbling off the calendar, This year, though, even with cancellation or two, we have had music, music, music. The big plus has been for the high school students, and a little plus for the junior highs, in choral and string workshops.

Sometimes the word workshop seems overused a overemphasized. Many of these sessions provide the participants with challenge, with an opportunity to talk to people who are working or studying in a musical profession and with the time to get excited over someone else who has faced duplicate problems and overcome them. Not all workshop sessions are good hut we've been lucky this spring workshops .1 'A A.

In 1966 he went for the first time to La Scala and San Francisco and in 1968 to the Met.

Now he has bookings into 1977. "I sing Verdi, Puccini, and the bel canto operas of Rossini, Bellini and Donizetti," he says, But what I like is bel canto; that's what I am happy about when I am "The voice has to be high and light and flexible. But when you finish something difficult you are much more happy than when you do something easy. When I finish 'I Puritani' I think myself to be a very great man for one hour. After, I become myself.

It is the power of the human being I feel, not the voice or the applause. It is the power really to win, like if you go to a very tall mountain, the tallest, and you climb it." Bookmobile schedules The Rapid City Public Library bookmobile is undergoing repairs. When the unit is re By MARY CAMI'BELL NEW YORK (AP) Like girls at a junior high school dance, soprano heroines at the opera have a way of towering over their partners, and the tenors clasp them in earnest but awkward embrace. Comes now Luciano Pava-rotti, 37. who makes the leading ladies look positively pe-ite.

He stands six feet and a Few centimeters, has shoulders like a fullback and "righs an estimated lido rounds. Best of all, though, the critics, Pavarotti can sing. No sauce, no oil One reviewer considers bim "closer to perfection than any ether tenor in the world." He demurs, though, particularly when it comes to his girth. Pavarotti says his precise weight is "top, top secret." But he concedes to being on a diet, Lunch, tie says, amounts to "shrimps, no sauce; fish salad, no oil; two glasses of water, and finished." Pavarotti started making recital appearances in smaller U.S. cities Feb.

1. His first was in Liberty, Mo. But the Metropolitan Opera realized Gigli vs. Di Stephano When Pavarotti was a child, his father played Gigli records. "I remember very well when I was 16 I told my father that Di Stefano is better than Gigli.

He almost hit me. Di Stefano is my preference now. "My father is 60 now with a beautiful tenor voice and he looks young like he is my brother. Next year I will do an album of Christmas songs, and I will do one with my father two voices." When he was younger, Pavarotti played football, tennis and volleyball. "At that age I never protected my voice," he says.

"I was going out in the rain and playing tennis, everything. Until you are 30 or 35 you can live like a playboy. Now I am doing the real professional life, I change a lot of things. I have to sorveg-llare." In translation He consults an Italian-English dictionary and repeats the translation. "Take care." "I learned English at school.

When I went for the first time to England I was unable to in Rapid City all have been productive, We often hear disgruntled parents talk about the diminished amount of music offered in our public schools. After hearing some facts about the Los Angeles public school music program from a friend recently, we felt the need to urge parents to take a second look at our music program. There are approximately 40 music teachers in the entire metropolitan Los Angeles school system; that comes to one music teacher for each 10 thousand students. It is news such as this that makes us feel so very fortunate to have a school administration concerned about the availability of opportunities for students in all areas of development. The workshops open a new area for musicians communications.

This requirement has been pointed out recently in the artist-in-residence programs in Rapid City and Spearfish, Often concert artists cool their audiences before the first line of music is finished, simply by their attitude cool and indifferent. Such an attitude is usually interpreted it had a giant in its midst a year ago. When Pavarotti and Joan Sutherland sang and clowned their way through Donizetti's Daughter of the Regiment." Pavarotti sang a first act aria which contained nine ringing high Cs. Lyrical praise Lyrical lines mean more to him, however; so he was more personally pleased by critical praise for a lyrical aria he sang in the second act. Pavarotti's wife and three daughters, aged 6, 8 and 10, live in Modena, Italy, where he once was a mathematics teacher.

He met his wife at a party, where both were asked to sing. "She sang a baritone role from "Rigoletto," he remembers. "She was so nice I was in love immediately. She has a beautiful speaking voice, very warm and low. But singing, no fortunately because one is enough in the family.

"At 5 I was singing 'La Donna Mobile." When I began studying I was a little less sure. I saw a lot of competition around and a lot of difficult things." The book is beautifully illustrated by Trina Schart Hy-man. FROM ANNA, by Jean Little, is also a depression time book, about a family which came from Germany to Canada to escape the tyranny of Hitler. It centers about Anna who suffered many insults until it was discovered that she could not see very well and would have to attend a special school. She thought this would be terrible but found that she made new friends who understood her and then she began to change.

Mildred Walker, a well-known novelist, has written a book for young readers. A PIECE OF THE WORLD is a thoughtful and perceptive book that reflects the changing world in which we live. OTHERWISE KNOWN AS SHEILA THE GREAT is the story of 10-year-old Sheila the Great and ordinary Sheila Tubman.

The spirit of adventure certainly is a dominant characteristic of all gem and mineral collectors as it is of those who like to explore the unknown depths of the earth the dark world of caves. In this book of spelaeology many questions are answered and many facts are revealed for the benefit of students of science as well as for the adventurer. Some of these questions: Why do stalactitites form in some caves and not in others? What effect does the absence of light have? How do the formations grow? What is there understand or speak one word. But this is a language I like very much. "I like America very much.

How can a singer stay away from this country? How? I can't understand really. This country made singers famous even in the past. Caruso was really 'the great Caruso' here, not in Italy. In Italy they accept him when he was already great, but before, the people were not so enthusiastic, 'The life for a singer is more professional here than there. If you are a great singer, the public here can excuse you if you sing not well one or two performances in one year.

Something like that cannot happen in my country. If you're bad once, they don't applaud, They put you down. Bookings into 77 Pavarotti started his career in 1961 in Reggio Emilia, Italy, in "La Boheme" which he now has sung more than 200 times and recently recorded with Mirella Freni, also of Modena. He sang in Dublin in 1962, where he was heard by a man from Covent Garden who hired him for 1963. Joan Sutherland heard him about caves that both frightens and attracts man? Ernst Bauer, the author, is a well-known German scientist who is editor and author of many scientific textbooks and technical books.

The book is elegantly illustrated with colored plates. It contains a glossary of caving terms, a list of books for further reading, and an excellent index.
