Nittany Band bland on the stand
By REBECCA CLARK
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
The briskly blowing air went from chilly to cold. And
as the weather gradually worsened, so did the Nittany
Lion Band concert Wednesday night in Fisher Plaza.
When one hears the name Nittany Lion Band, one
usually pictures a lively, energetic marching unit. Yet,
none of these expectations were fulfilled.
Throughout most of the concert, the band lacked
emotion and vitality. The members' faces revealed the
mood of the concert somber, apathetic and bored.
Each number was played and music came out of the ,
instruments, but only sounds were heard.
At one point in the concert, the band began to play
Cole Porter tunes. The sounds almost became music,
Winds blow with strength, then fade
By BECKY JONES
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
An unusual variety of
.sounds and
styles combined to create a sometimes
exciting, sometimes disappointing con
cert by the Symphonic Wind Ensemble
on Wednesday night.
Sounds ranging from the rich sonori
ties of a brass choir to the energetic color
of a percussion ensemble to the melodic
flow of winds and strings worked with,
and sometimes against, styles spanning
four centuries.
The excitement came primarily from a
driving percussion piece entitled "Three
Brothers" by Michael Coigrass. Under
the direction of Smith Toulson, a myriad
of instruments, including timpani, tim
bales, snare and tambourine, tossed
themes and motives back and forth in a
ceaseless drive toward the climax. Elec
tricity and excitement filled the recital
hall, only to be abated when the last
strike of the timpani faded away into
nothingness.
Less energetic, but almost as thrilling,
was the "Canzon Quarti Toni," a choral
piece by Giovanni.Gabrieli performed by
the brass choir. They were placed not
only on the stage but also at the two back
corners of the recital hall.
The performance, flawed only by a few
articulation problems, surrounded the
audience with the rich, full, but not
237.0374
but again the band failed to perform with enthusiasm.
They began 'the numbers with a bit of flare, but
gradually became lackadaisical.
They played the numbers with less spirit than the
pieces merited. The musical selections that were chosen
should have been entertaining. One example, "Hickory
Hill," was supposed to be performed with lively energy,
but instead was languid and slow.
Although the band had its problems, director Rfch
ard Bundy added some pleasantness to the concert. His
light-hearted humor blended well with the crisp air and
he conducted with a sensitive and easy manner.
Scott Good performed a trombone solo with emotion,
grace and style. He played with a seriousness that the
band lacked throughout most of the concert. Featured in

overwhelming; resonance of the hearty
brasses. It was a sound that filled the
soul and brought the flavor of medieval
Europe into the Music Building.
The ensemble played two other all
brass pieces: the Fanfare from Paul
Dukas' ballet "La Peri" and a Sonata
from "Bankelsangerlieder," composer
unknown.
Neither was mastered as well as the
Gabrieli piece, but both produced some
very nice sonorities from the brasses.
The Dukas fanfare was the less spectac
ular of the two, mainly because of the
muddy sound. Uneven and sloppy artic
ulation accounted for part of the prob
lem, along with too many performers

"From the Shores of the Mighty Pacific," Good played "SY
for the audience instead of at them.
By the end of the concert the band did not seem able
to pick up its dragging, slow, lifeless pace. But as the
blue sky turned to gray, the band awoke and played
tunes from "The Wiz", amazing the audience with its
joviality. The band played "Ease On Down the Road"
with such feeling and emotion that it was hard to believe
that it was the same group as before.
At the end of the concert, the Nittany Lion marched
up in his conductor outfit and led the band in a round o
"Hail to the Lion." As usual, he captured the audien'ct
with his amusing antics.

The ensemble played the sonata much
better, the articulations being cleaner
and the tone more consistent. The piece
was lighter than many written for brass
choir and had a cheerful spirit.
The main disappointment came, how
ever, with the final piece of the evening.
Dvorak's "Serenade in D minor, opus 44" ‘ A
seemed to fall on its face after the en
ergetic
intensity of the Colgrass number.
The unfortunate choice of the "Sere
nade" as the closing number, then,
added a lackluster ending to a program
that seemed well on its way to being
outstanding.
'Lake' reflects times in style
By 808 GROVE
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
• LAKE: "Ouch!" Caribou JZ 37083.
F t - .Lake. Ever heard of them?
• • Unfortunately, anyone who has not is safely in the
majority.
I say unfortunately, of course, from a purely personal
point of view. I think this band is worth considering and,
obviously, worth reviewing.
Lake is a six-member band from West Germany that
for four years has produced some of the most delightfully
refreshing music to be found in any American record
' Store.' like this band and so should you. Why?
album review
Because it is different. You can't throw it into any
existing musical pigeonhole. They are, well. . . Lake. And
in a time when New Wave and originality are mutually
exclusive terms, such a group is both needed and wel
comed.
You'll also like this band because it is sincere. Its
albums feature songs about such subjects as family
feelings (Paradise Island's "Final Curtain"), religion
(Lake I's "Jesus Came Down" or Lake ll's "Lost By'The
Wayside") and life in the West (Lake ll's "Welcome To
The West" or Paradise Island's "Glad To Be Here").
~'
;~ °-
'These guys are not "turning Japanese."
And you'll like this band because it's good at what it
does. Lake is tight and imaginitive; its music is fun and
listenable.
Their newest effort, "Ouch!" has all these qualities
Like Lake's three previous releases, "Ouch!" from
Jim McMullen's artwork on down is full of good times.
You'll recognize this immediately after listening to "Cele
brate," a song which urges young people to take advantage
of their youth. Martin Tiefensee's bass lines are very good.
"Living For Today" is in the same vein.
Parental love is the theme of "Come On Home," while
"Listen To Me" is a song about Poland's recent labor
strife: "Listen to me/ You've heard it before/. It's called
Solidarity/ This aint no plea/ We're telling you to your
face/ How it's got to be."
Side one closes with "Amigo," a soft acoustic ballad,
and "Jamaica High," a reggae-flavored song only .this
band could do.
The best cut on side two, "Something Here," is a bit too
long but features nice vocal harmonies and promotes
changing a society riddled with racial inequality and
smooth-talking politicians. "Hit Your Mama" is for slight
ed lovers who need a word of encouragement, and "South
ern Nights" is a quiet, reflective look back at times past.
Lake, while not infallible (remember "Time Bomb?"),
is still one of the best unheralded bands around. James
Hopkins Harrison's lead vocals are crisp and Alex Conti's
lead guitar licks are as tasty as ever on "Ouch!" Which is
another reason for giving this album a chance.

Band is CPR for
local bar scene
By MICHAEL KULP
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
At last, there exists a rock 'n' roll band
in State College that acts, and performs
like a rock .'n' roll band.
A recently formed group, wryly named
Johnny Deadline's Rock 'n' Roll Review,
comes like a much needed breath of fresh
air into the stagnant musical atmosphere
of State College.
Rather than presenting itself in the
ridiculously ponderous, if not insuffera
ble, manner seemingly inherent to many
of the local bands, this group and its
music are unpretenious and purely light
hearted. Their aim is simply to generate
a good time; at last Wednesday's perfor
mance at The Brickhouse Tavern,, they
did just that.
The show provided the type of enter
tainment one hopes for, but rarely gets ,
from a bar band loud, energetic, fast
paced music delivered in an enjoyable,
straight-foward style.
The band's repertoire consists of the
inevitable garage band favorites (i.e. the
Stones). And surprisingly, some unex
pected and often overlooked tunes by the
Dead Boys, Elvis Presley, Lou Reed and
even The Monkees.
Any band having the good-humor to
-Oantes gtattot.ia.
114 s. gatriet st.

perform The Monkees' theme song cer
tainly possesses the proper perspective
and attitude.
In addition to performing well, the
band also succeeded in presenting its
personalities in an equally exuberant
manner. During the show they managed
to build a warm kinship with the audi
ence.
Johnny Deadline's Rock 'n' Roll Re
view may not stand as the finest band in
State College, but they may well prove to
be the most entertaining.

//Calliope' limits
breadth of lit
The first issue of "Kalliope," the Uni
versity's most recent literary magazine,
is being distributed around campus. It is
28 pages of artwork, poems and a short
story printed on durable, tan paper.
The editorial staff, all student volun
teers, has chosen a good selection of
poems. Subjects range from sandpipers
and a dark wind to elegists and a dying
Aleut. All of the poems, however, are
similar in their vivid imagery.
The artwork includes five ink drawings
of humans and one of flowers. Perhaps
more variety would have been nice.
Under the lone photograph, a caption
would have been helpful. What motivated
the photographer to take the shot?
Although the submissions were judged
with the creators remaining anonymous,
"Kalliope" should have represented a
larger number of students. The mag
azine's purpose is to give more writers
exposure, yet there are seven poems by
Keith Whitney and other authors have
two or three published works. Out of 250
submissions, there must have been other
contributors who deserved to be chosen.
However, for a first issue, "Kalliope"
has a professional appearance.
