Aeolian: A touch of
Romanticism tonight
By SAM LEVY
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
The chamber music of this decade,
along with a touch of Romanticism, will
fill Schwab Auditorium when the Aeolian
Chamber Players directed by Lewis
Kaplan will give a concert at 8:30
tonight.
Their program will consist of George
Crumb’s “Dream Sequence” (1976),
Gunther Schuller’s “Sonata Serenata”
(1978) and Johannes Brahms’ Trio in a
minor for clarinet, cello and piano, Op.
114. The Crumb and Schuller works were
written for the Aeolian Chamber
Players.
Kaplan, a faculty member at the New
York’s Julliard School of Music, founded
the ensemble in 1961 with the intention of
preserving the chamber repertoire for

strings and winds. Composers such as
Berio, Crumb, Rochberg and Siibotnick,
attracted to the group’s flexibility and
standard of performance, have com
posed works especially for them.
Along with their repertoire of con
temporary chamber music, the group
has a repertoire of traditional works
and, as in tonight’s concert, has created
programs combining the music of the
two periods.
Other than Kaplan, who is the group’s
violinist, the other members are cellist
,Ronald Thomas, winner of the 1974
Young Artists Auditions; clarinetist
Thomas Hill, a New England Con
servatory graduate and a soloist with the
Boston Symphony and Cleveland or
chestras; and pianist Jacob Maxin, a
Julliard graduate and faculty member.

Jeffrey is a Princeton dropout, much to his father’s
dismay, and is less than excited about being in the
spotlight for the few days he must spend with Li Soong.
And Li Soong is less than excited about the time she
must spend in the States, restricted from being allowed
to mingle with the real people of America and preach
her strong Communist doctrines.
Naturally he is very attractive, with his curly blond
hair and preppy good looks. And she is beautiful, lively
and petite, with waist-length jet-black hair.
Perfect,
The two eventually join forces and run off together to
see the “real America,” Li Soong having been suf
ficiently impressed with Jeffrey’s tall tales about the
summer he spent hitchhiking across the continent. Of
course, he left out the fact that he always .had a constant
supply of cash and a major credit card in his pocket,
both courtesy of Dad.
But preachy Li Soong firmly believes that the people
of America are such fine citizens that no harm will
come to them along the way .Too bad she didn’t have her

A love story
ruby slippers along.
The two end up in jail in South Carolina within the
first two days, run in with a bootlegging truckdriver
from whom they hitched a ride. They are befriended by
a variety of homespun American good guys along their
westward trek, until they finally end up in San Fran
cisco’s Chinatown, and in love.
It’s a cute tale, but unfortunately too contrived. It’s so
obvious that someone wrote the story, as opposed to the
story writing itself, thajt the reader can’t help but
wonder about the actual writing process.
Surely there is something to be said about the style.
Words are used playfully, and with a nice flair. The
vocabulary barely crosses the three-syllable limit,
which makes for comfortable, if not especially cerebral
reading. It’s a very visual book; descriptions of people
and places are executed with a touch of humor and
caricature.
“Friendly Relations” is one step away from a fairy
tale. Perhaps it could be classified most simply as a
merry tale, no matter how unbelievable it may be.
'Pink Floyd:
Pompeii' plays here
One of the best “Pink Floyd”
movies in existence, second only to
the film presented on their 1975
“Dark Side of the Moon/Wish You
Were Here” tour, will be shown at 7,
8:30 and 10 tonight and Sunday. night
in 112 Kern.
movie preview
Unlike the tour movie, Pink Floyd
is filmed live at the unearthed
colliseum in Pompeii. Aside from
short interview sequences, cuts to the
members of Pink Floyd traversing
through boiling mud bogs and visuals
derived from scenes of flowing lava,
this film centers on Pink Floyd in

performance at the colliseum, and
solely for the camera.
Pink Floyd’s music consists mainly
of surrealistic acid rock. Energized
electric music flows from Dave
Gilmour’s guitar, Richard Wright’s
keyboards, Roger Water’s bass and
Nick Mason’s percussion.
Pompeii contains superb renditions
of Pink Floyd classics such as “A
Saucerful of Secrets,” “Set the
Controls for the Heart of the Sun,”
“One of These Days,” “Echoes” and
“Careful with that Axe, Eugene.”
The movie was made in 1972 and
consists mainly of their 1971 “Med
dle” LP, making it a power-packed
exploration into the most intense
Pink Floyd music.
