Shivers of excitement became goose- bumps and listeners experi- enced workless admiration for such interpretation. The Bowmanville concert too had some outstanding playing. Muhder's variations on Sibelius' "Finhandia" pro- duced almost every mood 'of which an organ is capable: quiet dignity, haunting home-, sickness, joyful patriotic pride and at one point it sounded more like a f ull string section than an organ. During the playing of Tocatta from Sym- phony 5 by Widor, he managed to sound like at least 5 hands on the organ instead of two. His improvisation on "oh Canada" was also brillianthy done. Ilis military fanfare accomrpaniyin-g the first Unmes softened into warm, geenthe music of "with glowing hearts ..... Then without no- ticeable transition he eased into the closing lines of the Dutch national anthem. When he played the entire "Wil- helmus" with the chimes, many a Dutch Canadian found himself misty eyed. It was very moving, for them to hear the national anthems of two countries 50 dear to their hearts interwoven so beauti- fuhly. There were many more excellent selections and to do each one justice'would fi an entire newspaper section. Suffice it te say that, in the, opinion of this writer, Klaas Jan Mulder is the most talented. and versatile organ- ist she has ever heard whether on record, radio or in person. A few words too about the conductor, by now-well-known to Bowmanville, Mr. Leendert Kooy. His Cantata 15 is a beautiful pastoral arrange- ment. When it was played by a vîrtuoso, as Mr. Mulder is, one can truly hear how master- fully it is composed. Mr. Kooy's excitement is of ten a source of friendly chuekies. One speaker refer- red to his podium as a chariot because "Leendert Kooy doesn't stand on it, he rides it." But- it is that same exuberance which brings out the best in every singer in the choir. One cannot help but give one's ail in the face of it. The two men,, Messrs. Mulder and Kooy are not, just talented, but also frienidly with a delightful sense of humor. An event which illustrates just how the choirs enjoyed work- ing with them occurred right after the Bowmanville con- cert.
