StitrriOIN 2' PACK 6 - PL AIIM l>K AI-KK «HKH ALD. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1.1985 Nation/World Concerts planned worldwide to celebrate Bach's 300th Classic films hit video market The 300th anniversary of the Mrtk of Johann Sebastian Bach win begin officially in March but the crescendo of commemorative festivals, concerts, lectures, sym­ posiums, recordings and publica­ tion already has reached a high pitch wherever the great German composer is revered. Most European countries are celebrating Bach's tercentenary under the sponsorship of the Parliament of Europe and even Japan will have a year of Bach music-making starting with a chamber music concert in Tokyo Feb. 24. But the United States and Canada are the leaders in lavish musical salutes. Nothing planned anywhere else can match such Bachanalian events as the year-long Basically Bach Festival in Birmingham, Ala., and the Feb. 12-June 1 Basically Bach Festival in Flint, Mleh., the Oregon Bach Festival in Eugene, Ore., June 25-July 8, the Bach 300 Celebration in Toron­ to, March 8-24, and the Tribach Festival in Edmonton, Alberta, March21-Aprll6. Festivals are planned in Min­ neapolis, which will mount more than 120 concerts; Phildelphia; Carmel, Calif.; Boulder, Colo.; Winter Pack, Fla.; Dearborn, Mich.; Raleigh, N.C.; Dayton, Ohio; Louisville, Ky., and Spokane, Wash., to name but a few. The Birmingham and Flint Festivals are pretty much grass­ roots projects that couldn't have been realized without solid com­ munity support. Margarette Eby, a music professor on loan from the University of Michigan, organized the 40-concert Flint festival, which .runs from the sublime (a performance of "The St. Matthew Passion") to the ridiculous (humorist Peter Schickele in his t*.D.Q. Bach act). "We had €0 cooperating organisations and federal, state and local funding," Eby said. "It is a very ambitious undertaking for a city like Flint and has been tremendously rewarding. "There is a big program in the schools, a baroque music competi­ tion for students, an international Bach organ competition, jazz takeoffs on Bach's music, a new David Anderson ballet for Ballet Michigan set to the violin and piano sonata No. 4, and visiting ar­ tists from Europe." 1965 also is the tercentenary of the births of George Frideric Handel and Domenico Scarlatti. To mark this unusual event, which coincides with a renaissance of in­ terest in baroque music, the Parliament of Europe has A organized a continent-wide pro­ gram under the banner "The European Music Year" (EMY). Typical of EMY activities Is the year-long salute to all three com­ posers by the Netherlands. Called Musica 85, it began with a nation­ wide program of carillon concerts on New Year's day. Britain's EMY committee formed a Euro­ pean Baroque Orchestra which will debut in London July 6 and then tour Europe. The annual Vienna Festival, May 15-June 16, will be dedicated to Bach. The music of Handel and Scarlatti will have a generous hearing, but the commemoration of Bach is certainly the concerto grosso on the program of celebra­ tions. Bach festivities began almost a year in advance of his birth date, March 21, and will con­ tinue throughr the end the year. The San Francisco Symphony's massive Bach Festival is schedul­ ed for Oct. 15-Nov. 17. Bach was born in Eisenach, in what is now East Germany, and a "Bach Celebration for Young Peo­ ple" will be held there during the birthday week. Both East and West Germany are alive with the sound of Bach's music, lor organ, keyboard, choir, chamber in­ struments and orchestra, especially Leipzig, where Bach lived for 27 years before his death in 1750. Any list of top European obser­ vances would have to include the one planned by the city of Paris, running from July 15 to Sept. 18 in dozens of the city's churches in­ cluding the oldest, St. Germain- des-Pres, where all 200 Bach organ compositions will be per­ formed. All of the organ works will also be heard in Amsterdam's Nieuwe Kerk from April through August. The most unusual Bach recital series will recall the association of Dr. Albert Schweitzer, the humanitarian, and Bach, whose organ works were edited by Schweitzer. It will be 26 concerts of Bach's clavier music by harp­ sichordist Judith Norell in private homes in New York, sponsored by the Crvo Society which coor­ dinates the Schweitzer Music Awards. More typical is the citywide pro­ of public concerts in Birm- lam, initiated by lively arts Oliver W. Roosevelt of the Birmingham News and supported by the City Council, the Alabama Symphony, the opera and ballet compaw.? and many cultural and business oi ganizatlons. More than 200 concerts, in­ cluding all Bach's orchestral and organ works and 32 of the can­ tatas, will be performed at the Civic ^Center, in churches, >itals, Kiwanis Club meetings, shopping malls. A costumed Mr. and Mrs. Bach will take their harpsichord into 150 public schools. The festival opened New Year's eve with a champagne- and-music "Bachanalia" and will end next New Year's eve. "Many people are involved who never attended concerts before," said Roosevelt. "The community haa taken to this with open arms." • H GLASSES MADE WHILE YOU WAIT!

She Is making yesterday's movies ready for today's market, matching music to film for video casettes. She's also reliving her youth. Before the organist heard about "Video Yesteryear," she figured she would never again hqve a chance to accompany the old silent stars like she did when she played in a theater. But the opportunity presented itself when Jon Sonneborn, manager of the firm, started thinking "how much more en­ joyable the movies would be with a synchronised score." Since Sonneborn's brainstorm last summer, Rio has completed arrangements for 35 films, in­ cluding such classics as "The Phantom of the Opera," "The Birth of a Nation," "Hunchback of Notre Dame," and such Chaplin greats as the "Keystone Com­ edies," "The Tramp," and "The Gold Rush." Sonneborn, a cinema instructor at the University of Bridgeport, said only the best first-run movies were presented with an or­ chestrated score out of Hollywood. Music for the rest (and most) of the films was left totally to the theater piano or organ. , He Initially tried to match movies with any music "that followed the theme." In trying to improve the finished product, however, Sonneborn realized the ilusic had to change with each scene, character, action and atmosphere. "Now we're offering these classics the way they should be seen," he said. For his efforts, people may again see the likes of Douglas Fairbanks, Rudolph Valentino, Lon Chaney, Buster Keaton, Mary Pickford and Lillian Gish. 7 Rio, finishing the final chords for the "Hunchback of Notre Dame," laughed upon recalling her shock when actor A1 Jolsor^ burst into song in "The Jazz Singer," bringing sound to the movies and making her job obr( soiete. * "I thought that was the end of my life," she said. "But things have come full circle, and it's like' old times again. Except I have to- work a lot harder." The energetic woman, who ad-' mits only to being "old as the day- is young," remembered her first- theater job at age 10. "The theater owner told me to play anything 1* wanted, as long as it drowned out the projector." "I remember the lights dimm­ ing, the organ platform rising, my lovely gown and the applause,"; she said. "Basically I'd im­ provise, combining classical, segments with my own transitions, and adaptations." Although the film was repeated 21 times a week and Rio was paid only $40, she said the allure of the theater never dissipated.
