NO. 49 Frida v l<'t:·bruary 14, th e Senior as~em!Jly ~a't J loward, had another Yery inh· t·e~ ting Dnmrosch program. I will try in the following to describe the program :~::; we hen rd it. l'I' I'CUl;~iou in~truments are musical instruments whil'h you strike with the hand~ or a ~tkk to produce sound. There ;ll't· two ki ndl:l of percussion instrumentH. One kind Jlll'rely produces rhythm, such a~ tlw druntl:l and castenets. Th other l\ind produ<'es tone like the bells, xylophone and the kettle drums. The kf'ttle drums are used to produce ioi(IUnds of nature like thunder. They can al~u make diffen' nt rhythm~ . ln BeethoYe n's "~inth ~ymphony,·· he used the ke ttlt' dntml:l tv pruduce both rhythm and l(·ne. Tht> Damrosch orchl·stra played a selection from BcethoYen'l:l "Ninth ::3ymphouy," using the kettle dnuns. The bass drum, the cymbal:-;, and the triangles are very importa.nt instruments. The people in Europe first introduced the cy mbals for· the Turkish March. The bass drum only produces a low, rumbling sound. The triangle ls u:sed for music such as fait·y muc:ic. The orchestra played the Turkish l\larch which uses all three of thc:--e in:--truments in it. Mr\ Damrnsch said the cymbals, triangles, and bells are u~;ed sometimes to d t>!:.'c ribe th flower:-; nodding· to each other at twilight . 'Ve heard selections dt·scribing this. Spain is the country of many darwes. Each Jl,rovinc:e has its own dance as has ~ach city. A l-'panish dance from an opera u:sing the l'n:stenets and tambourirH.· was played. I think it was the mo~t intel'c:st ing of all the Damrosch programs. -Eilene 'V akly, 6A Hnwanl.

They are going to be very pretty when we are through with them. -Mary Louise Schaeffer, 6A Howard.
