My heartery that appeared in this column as a result of being conned into going not to the dogs but to the Beatles has disappointed several teenager friends of mine. They thought that I was different from some other middleaged Mums because I wear short shorts and endure rock ‘n roll practice sessions without breaking out into obscenities. Now they realise that this is just a facade and underneath it all, I‘m just as stuffy and lacking in understanding as their own parents. I can see their point; some of them would have given up all their worldly treasures (including their kid brothers and invites to five swinging parties) just to get into the Gardens and breathe the same air as Ringo et al. And here was a crummy old adult making fun of the whole miracle of "Them" actually being in Toronto and actually playing and singing, I mean actually (the inference always is that it would be enough to brighten the world if they just passed through in their coffins).. (Jas o# my erstwhile friends sat on my sofa and combed a yard of heir morosely and said, "I suppose you dig all that longâ€"haired music." I admitted preâ€" ferring classical music, tryiuy not to sound defensive, and you could almost hear my stock dropping down into the baseâ€" ment. By association they believe that anyone who digs classical music must be stuffy and old, and only one thing is worse than an adult who likes square music and that‘s a teenager who enjoys it. I mean, a kid like that would have to be off his nut, for real. When they had clattered off in their boots like a bunch of moor ponies, I shunted the girls to bed to read, (Ken was at work), took the phone off the hook and had a musical soiree all on my own, playing as many of my favourites as possible. I suppose the music people play when they‘re alone reveals something, even if it‘s only what they really like. I started with "My Funny Valentine," then Michael Legrand playing some lovely songs about Parisâ€""La Seine", "La Vie en Rose", switched to Isaac Stern playing "None but the lonely heart" (if this is musical schmaltz, play on, Isaac, old boy) and Gounod‘s "Ave Maria". I dithered a bit between Tchaikovsky‘s 5th or .6th symphonies, but finally chose the 5th (decisions, decisions, nothing but decisions.) Then Sibelius‘ 2nd symphonyâ€"grand stuffâ€"and some songs from a folkâ€"song album, especially the exquisite, "Come all ye fair and tender ladies" and "Cottonâ€"eyed Joe", and the poignantly cruel "Johnny, I hardly knew ye." Given more time, I would also have played some Chopin nocturnes, Tchaikovsky‘s ‘"Romeo and Juliet" overture, Bach‘s Toccata and Fugue, and "Jesu, joy of man‘s desiring," two of Liszt‘s piano concertos, the "Eroica", Wagner‘s "Siegfried Idyll", the Overture to "Tannhauser", and Holst‘s Planets Suite. But there wasn‘t time, so I settled for Act II of "Tosca", lying on the sofa with the libretto and sobbing happily over some of the loveâ€" liest music I shall ever hear. The plot is awfulâ€"bad enough to give any writer the itch to reâ€"writeâ€"but the music is so glorious that it gives life to the cardboard characters and the silly theatrical situations. I haven‘t even mentioned other music I love, such as Ravel‘s Mother Goose suite, Debussy‘s Nocturnes, most of Beethoven, bits of Elgar, Dvorak‘s 2nd and 5th, "Die Fledermaus" and so on. I‘m not keen on Mozart and can‘t stand his operas, nor ‘"The Messiah", nor Stravinsky, Offenbach, Rimskyâ€"Korsakov, and certainly not Bartok nor any of the modern atonal composers. I haven‘t heard enough Schumann, Schubert or Mendelssohn (except his beautiful Midsummer Night‘s Dream) to know whether I like them or not. This is, of course, the result of a hunt and peck type of musical education which didn‘t begin until I was an adult, which is based on our record collection and which hasn‘t had much directed buying behind it. If I had to define the type of classical music I enjoy, I would suppose it falls into two main categoriesâ€"either it must be noble and proâ€" found, like Beethoven‘s 5th, or it must be beautifully melodic like most of Tchaikovsky‘s music. In other words, it must stir my emotions, not my intellect. I don‘t want music to tell a story nor do I want it to imitate other noises, like a duck with a hernia. I would rather listen to Elizabeth Schwarzkopf or Maureen Forrester than Connie Francis. I don‘t like counâ€" try and western, have learned to endure rock ‘n roll for its driving beat and enjoy the sound of Tijuana Brass and Latinâ€"American music generally. It‘s rather amusing, in a wry way; when I‘m in the mood to be sorry for myself, I rationalize that if only I‘d been exposed to good music (or any music, apart from "Ramona" for that matter) in my childhood, I would have more aptiâ€" tude for and knowledge of music now. This may or may not be true of me, but our own children have grown up with the magnificent sounds of Beethoven and Puccini and Tchaikovâ€" sky beating about their ears and what has happened? Jade has little interest in any kind of music, Jeremy loves rock ‘n roll x;’nd popular ballads, Julie and Joni love the Beatles. HELP! CLEARANCE SALE .: Rag. to $175 DUNDAS ST.
