The chord which is the result of over two years work Library filled with sound of music from Mozart to folk Galliard Ensemble, a quartet of classical musicians gave a stirring per- formance of selections of chamber music, minuets and even some rollicking Irish c folk music, on Tuesday night, Sept. 30, at the council chambers in Penetanguishene. The concert, played to a very small audience, was sponsored by _ the Penetanguishene Library, and was comprised of music played by Robert Bick on flute, Joseph Peleg on violin, Douglas MecNabney on viola and Paul Pulford on cello. Polished The musicians themselves were very polished, attacking each piece with vigour and displaying mind boggling virtuosity. When they played a Mozart minuet or the haunting sounds of Hungarian folk music their dexterity was masterful. Of the four, floutist Robert Bick and violinist Joseph Peleg were the most volatile, their expressions changing with each change in musical mood. Peleg, on violin would dip and sway his body so violently with each cut and thrust of his violin bow that he would nearly leave his chair. The energy of those two was nicely balanced though by the steady, more subdued and graceful actions of Pulford and McNabney and the group as a whole complimented one another very well. The music on the whole was very en- ticing and invited one to close his eyes and be carried along swirling clouds of rhyth- represents the second highest standing attainable in the Guides. Presenting the chord is Guider in charge, Nancy Howe and looking on at right is Sheryl's proud mother. One of the highest honors associated with Girl Guides was bestowed upon Sheryl Duquette, of Robert Street West in Penetanguishene at St. Ann's Church. The All Round Chord, the second highest achievement in the Guides next to the Canada. Chord was presented to Sheryl for outstanding achieve- ment and performance as a Guide. The award comes as the result of over two years work by the fourteen year old Penetanguishene _ girl. To obtain the All Round Chord, a girl must attain numerous Guide badges such as the citizenship badge, swimming badge, and also the girl must show knowledge and proficiency in first aid, mn and stormy oceans of musical phrasings. Pieces The Hungarian pieces in particular brought to mind, in the slower segments, the same ghostly images created in Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt suite, with Death of Asa; at the same time, the coarser strains reminded one of the familiar Tchaikofsky 1812 overture. On the whole it was a fine performance, complimented by the excellent acoustics of the town's council chambers and the small audience was treated to a very intimate evening of excellent classical music.
