Grand Chorus To Sing
With National Symphony
Old habits are hard to break.
While Antal Dorati was conductor
of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra
(DSO) from 1945 to 1950, he was in the
habit of inviting the NTSU Grand Cho-
rus down to perform in DSO concerts.
Dorati is now the conductor of the
National Symphony Orchestra in Wash-
ington, D.C., and once again he wants
the 120-voice Grand Chorus to sing.
The Chorus will fly to the capitol
Saturday to perform with the National
Symphony under Dorati’s direction next
week, Jan. 22, 23 and 24, in the John
F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the
performing arts.
“When I get off the plane in Wash-
ington, my job is over,” Frank McKin-
ley, director of the Chorus, said of the
coming concert. He has been rehears-
ing the Grand Chorus extensively for
Szymanowski’s “Stabat Mater” and
Penderecki’s “Dies Irae” which the
group will sing in Washington.
According to McKinley, Dorati did
not audition the chorus before asking
them to sing. He relied on the reputation
of the group, of the School of Music,
and on the quality of the Chorus’ past
performances.
The conductor did hear the group,
however, when he came to Denton to re-
hearse with the Chorus last Friday and
Saturday. The group has had extra prep-
aration for the performance of the “Sta-
bat Mater” as they performed this work
last fall with the University Symphony
in their Dec. 5 concert.
McKinley’s admiration for Dorati
began in 1947, when McKinley joined
the North Texas music faculty. The
Grand Chorus already had performed
with the DSO, and the association con-
tinued from 1946 to 1950, while Dorati
was conductor, and to the present. The
Grand Chorus has performed under
Dorati’s baton some 55 times.
When Dorati composed his “Missa

Posters Depict German Art
Works of artist Albrecht Durer are
being displayed in reproductions on the
first floor of the Language Building.
“The Four Horsemen of the Apoca-
lypse”, among other wood cuttings,
copper engravings and paintings by
Durer, are on display until Jan. 25.
Fifty posters with text in German and
corresponding English outline the ar-
tist’s life. Durer, born in 1471, made
such contributions as the first attempt
at a perspective representation of the
earth in a woodcutting.
The exhibit includes copies of his oil
paintings done after his association with
contemporary artists like Leonardo da
Vinci and Raphael. Among the repro-
ductions is Durer’s “Last Day 1525”,
an interesting painting expressing his
vision of how the world would end in
1525.
According to Dr. Olsen, who arranged

TALENT SCOUTS from Six Flags
Over Texas will hold regional auditions
for the 1974 season productions Friday
in the University Theatre beginning at
2 p.m.
Registration for auditions begins 30
minutes prior to audition time.
The scouts will be looking for persons
to work not only at Six Flags Over Tex-
as, but also at the other Six Flags parks
in Georgia and Missouri.
All acts will be limited to three min-
utes. Those requiring accompaniment
may bring their own, or use the piano ac-
companist provided by Six Flags. A rec-
ord player and tape machine will also
be available.
The University Players’ Mid-
night Cabaret Theater is planning anoth-
er weekend of musical entertainment
for students later this month, according
to the Cabaret coordinator, Dallas ju-
nior Carol Boyd.
The Cabaret shows, to be performed
Jan. 25 and 26 in the Studio Theatre
of the Speech, Communication and
Drama Building, will still have a cover
charge of 25 cents, Miss Boyd said.
Refreshments will be served, she add-
ed, and, once again, everyone will be
asked to bring blankets and pillows
to relax on.
There is one change in the Cabaret’s
set-up, though.
Whether it is a result of the energy
crisis, daylight savings time, or just
the necessity of sleep, the performances
have been moved up to 10 p.m. instead
of midnight. Miss Boyd said.
However, the players will perform
again at midnight both nights if the turn-
out is good, she added. Last semester’s
weekend show drew over 600 people
to the midnight entertainment.

Brevis” for percussion and chorus I0
years ago, the NTSU Grand Chorus
was among the first to perform it, in
Denton. Shortly after this, McKinley
and John Rosenfield, music critic for
the Dallas Morning News, learned that
Dorati would be stopping over in Dal-
las on his way from Europe to Houston.
A concert was arranged
“I’ve never forgotten what John Ro-
senfield said of that performance,"
McKinley said, laughing. "He said what
a strange and wonderful thing to see a
Catholic mass written by a Jewish ag-
nostic performed in a Jewish synagogue
(Dallas’ Temple Emanu-EI) by a choir
made up primarily ol Baptists conducted
by a Presbyterian.”
It was the spring of 1972 when plans
began for the Grand Chorus to appear in
Washington.
“I was in Washington with a quartet
NTSU had entered in the third Inter-
national Choral Festival,” McKinley
said “I hadn’t seen Dorati in five or
six years, and after a rehearsal of the
National Symphony we got to talking,
and he invited the Grand Chorus. Short-
ly thereafter, the School of Music re-
ceived the formal written invitation.”
The Chorus will fly to Washington in
time for their first rehearsal with the
National Symphony late Saturday. They
will also rehearse twice on Monay and
once on the morning of the first con-
cert Tuesday.
McKinley said that he will allow
the choir time to do as much sightseeing
as possible. They will return to Denton
on Saturday, Jan. 26.
