WEBVTT 00:19:18.946 --> 00:19:25.151 - I might mention in terms of a horn quartet that I think you'll find that it's a real rarity, I think 00:19:25.151 --> 00:19:31.356 - particularly in a community of this size, but really in a community of almost any size, to find four 00:19:31.356 --> 00:19:37.192 - horn players of high school age who can knock off a piece of that extreme difficulty as easily 00:19:37.192 --> 00:19:38.974 - and beautifully as they did. 00:19:50.114 --> 00:19:56.608 - that we do have one change to the program. Unfortunately, we ran into a little issue with our bassoonist, 00:19:56.608 --> 00:20:02.979 - who happens to be the grandfather of Horace and Peter DeWolf, at the very last minute. And fortunately, 00:20:02.979 --> 00:20:09.534 - we got a superb IU bassoonist, Juliette Chappellier, to substitute, and she's just going to do a beautiful 00:20:09.534 --> 00:20:14.558 - job. She played her first rehearsal yesterday. Juliette, would you stand, please? 00:20:33.058 --> 00:20:39.373 - I'd like to ask Marjorie Halpern, who is the orchestra's first violist and also the chairman of the 00:20:39.373 --> 00:20:45.752 - Music Committee of the Louisville Symphony, which is really responsible for the running of the Chair 00:20:45.752 --> 00:20:52.067 - Foundations that we have every year, to present plaques to the winners and also to Lila Nathan, who 00:20:52.067 --> 00:20:54.846 - is the director of the Ballet Arts Academy. 00:21:04.866 --> 00:21:08.542 - I love piano. I had a girl come over and play so nicely on the piano. 00:22:24.130 --> 00:22:30.759 - by Lila Higgins at the Valley Arts Academy. It says, in appreciation, Lillington Symphony Orchestra, 00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:37.519 - 1980. We do appreciate the hours of work they put in to present such a lovely performance, as you will 00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:39.422 - see very soon. Lila Higgins. 00:22:55.298 --> 00:23:20.318 - Before we start, there's a little part of the staging near the end of Peter, which 00:23:20.546 --> 00:23:26.637 - forces us to ask those of you who are in the aisles to move to one side or the other so that we have 00:23:26.637 --> 00:23:32.849 - a clear path of about, let's say, a foot to a foot and a half or so through the paths. So if you would 00:23:32.849 --> 00:23:39.000 - please try to move in the aisles to one side or the other so that we have it. That's good. Right here 00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:45.151 - is beautiful and over here. It's really kind of important. So please try to keep those paths open for 00:23:45.151 --> 00:23:48.830 - the performance. Okay, we hope you enjoy Peter and the Wolf. 00:23:57.410 --> 00:24:07.659 - to tell you the story about Peter and the wolf. If you listen very carefully, you will see that each 00:24:07.659 --> 00:24:17.806 - character in this tale is represented by a different instrument of the orchestra. For instance, the 00:24:17.806 --> 00:24:21.662 - bird by a flute. The duck by an oboe. 00:24:43.362 --> 00:25:09.630 - Cat by a clarinet in the low register. Grandfather by the bassoon. 00:25:19.138 --> 00:25:39.294 - The wolf by the three horns. Peter by the strings. 00:25:51.554 --> 00:26:11.292 - the rifle shots of the hunters by the kettle drum. Early one morning, Peter opened the big gate and 00:26:11.292 --> 00:26:18.398 - went out into the big green meadow. 00:27:08.354 --> 00:27:13.246 - sat a little bird, Peter's friend. All is quiet, chirped the bird merrily. 00:28:39.522 --> 00:28:45.502 - She was glad Peter had not closed the gate and decided to take a nice swim in the big pond in the meadow. 00:29:29.506 --> 00:29:41.595 - Seeing the duck, the little bird flew down upon the grass, settled next to the duck, and shrugged her 00:29:41.595 --> 00:29:53.565 - shoulders. Well, what kind of a bird are you if you can't fly, she said. What kind of a bird are you 00:29:53.565 --> 00:29:57.950 - if you can't swim, the duck replied. 00:29:58.690 --> 00:30:01.854 - and dived into the pond. 00:30:31.042 --> 00:30:45.469 - argued, the little bird hopping on the shore, the duck swimming back and forth in the pond. Suddenly, 00:30:45.469 --> 00:30:56.926 - something caught Peter's attention. He noticed a cat crawling through the grass. 00:31:36.034 --> 00:32:02.590 - while the duck quacked angrily at the cat. 00:32:10.018 --> 00:32:25.250 - in the middle of the pond. The cat crawled around the tree and thought, is it worth climbing up so high? 00:32:25.250 --> 00:32:33.374 - By the time I get there, the bird will have flown away. 00:32:40.834 --> 00:32:56.659 - Just then, Grandfather came out. He was angry because Peter had gone into the meadow. It is a dangerous 00:32:56.659 --> 00:33:07.614 - place. If a wolf should come out of the forest, then what would you do? 00:33:31.170 --> 00:33:40.606 - Peter paid no attention to grandfather's words. Boys like Peter are not afraid of wolves. 00:34:00.066 --> 00:34:07.070 - But grandfather took Peter by the hand, led him home, and locked the gate. 00:34:35.554 --> 00:34:41.278 - How sooner had Peter gone than a big grey wolf came out of the forest? 00:36:05.282 --> 00:36:06.014 - Jump to right! 00:37:20.514 --> 00:37:46.750 - This is how things stood. The cat was sitting on one branch. The bird on another. Not too close to the cat. 00:38:04.962 --> 00:38:10.910 - The wolf walked round and round the tree, looking up at them with greedy eyes. 00:38:47.842 --> 00:39:00.900 - In the meantime, Peter, without the slightest fear, stood behind the closed gate watching all that was 00:39:00.900 --> 00:39:11.550 - going on. Then he ran home, took a strong rope, and climbed up the high stone wall. 00:39:18.242 --> 00:39:38.561 - The tree around which the wolf was prowling stretched out over the wall. Grabbing hold of a branch, 00:39:38.561 --> 00:39:45.470 - Peter climbed over onto the tree. 00:39:52.034 --> 00:39:57.982 - Peter said to the bird, fly down and circle around the wolf's head. Only take care that he doesn't catch you. 00:40:23.554 --> 00:40:29.278 - touched the wolf with her wings while the wolf snapped angrily at her from this side and from that. 00:40:54.338 --> 00:41:07.246 - did worry the wolf how he wanted to catch her. But the bird was clever, and the wolf simply couldn't 00:41:07.246 --> 00:41:17.982 - do anything about it. Meanwhile, Peter made a lasso, and carefully letting it down, 00:41:34.306 --> 00:41:48.400 - the wolf by the tail and pulled with all his might. Feeling himself caught, the wolf began to jump wildly, 00:41:48.400 --> 00:41:51.166 - trying to get loose. 00:42:12.546 --> 00:42:27.306 - But Peter tied the other end of the rope to the tree. And the wolf's jumping only made the rope around 00:42:27.306 --> 00:42:29.886 - his tail tighter. 00:42:57.506 --> 00:43:18.206 - Just then, some hunters came out of the woods, following the wolf's trail and shooting as they came. 00:44:27.234 --> 00:44:33.502 - Shoot, Bertie and I have already caught the wolf. All you have to do is help us take him to the zoo. 00:45:10.786 --> 00:45:32.920 - And so, off they started to the zoo. And now, look at the triumphant procession. Brooke Peter proudly 00:45:32.920 --> 00:45:37.694 - marching in the lead. 00:46:13.186 --> 00:46:16.542 - and the hunters, leading the wolf that Peter had caught. 00:47:10.690 --> 00:47:26.236 - session, Grandfather and the Cat. Grandfather frowned and shook his head. Ah, but what if Peter hadn't 00:47:26.236 --> 00:47:30.462 - caught the wolf? What then? 00:48:15.170 --> 00:48:44.542 - Here we are, Peter and I. Look what we have caught. Shh. Listen. Listen. If you listen very carefully, 00:48:45.058 --> 00:49:06.718 - You can hear the duck quacking inside the wolf's belly. Because the wolf in his hurry had swallowed her.
