Second music concert enjoyed
•
The second concert of the Youth
and Music Canada series took place
Wednesday evening at the Grand
Bend United Church. Ted Jackson. of
the Concert Association, welcomed a
capacity crowd for the evening and
thanked Farmer Bill's for the flowers,
and Mr. Yeagel of the "Keyboard
Shop. of London", who loaned a
beautiful new baby grand piano for
the oecasion.
Then Mr Jackson introduced the
guest artist, Miss Linda Ippolito, a
22 -year-old pianist, who has won
several- national and international
music competitions and has perform-
ed on radio and TV with several
distinguished symphony orchestras.
She plans to compete in Moscow next
year.
Resplendent in a long red evening
gown, Miss Ippolito seated herself at
the baby grand and proceeded to
demonstrate her formidable talents.
performing the entire program by
memory, without written music. The
first piece, Sonata in D major by
Mozart starts with a bright and
sparkling first movement often call-
ed "The Ilunl" as it sounds like the
gallop of horses and the baying of
hounds. chasing the fox over.the coun-
tryside, bugles echoing the refrain.
The second movement is a dreamy.
soft allegro. like a ballerina whirling
across a stage. The allegretto is quick
and bouncy, with the intricate finger-
ing demanded by a Mozart piece. The
second selection. Impromptus 2,3.4 by
Schubert •are very romantic. full of
passion and worked in flowing
phrases, flowery trills and soaring
runs that thrill your senses like a love
song.
The Ballade No. 1 in G Ior by
Chopin was written as a tone poem.
based on a patriotic ode to Poland. 11
begins gently. then soars into a
crescendo,pf emotion. full of patriotic
fervor and peaks in a very dramatic.
passionate finale as she thunders
across the keyboard.
After the intermission. Miss Ip-
polito► performed an entirely different,
r.odern piece. "Deux etudes de
sonorite" or "Two studies of sound"
by Morel, a Canadian composer. This
is a tone piece of great contrasts: loud,
to soft. varying tempos. abrupt
change in style and rhythym with
several dissonant passages. The
music used "tone clusters" where
several keys are pushed down
together and let vibrate. Morel ex-.
piores the limitations of both piano
and pianist, but Miss Ippolito was
equal to the challenge.
A Chopin Norturne was evocative of .
an operiatic area, melodic and
tender, while "Etude of the Black
Keys" is bouncy, quick and exuberant
as the right hand plays all the trills
and runs on the black keys.
Rachmanimoff's Prelude to G is a
musical picture of the properties of
water, called'"The Brook". It sounds
like a gentle. rhapsody of water
rushing, swirling into eddies, serenely
flowing, tumbling over stones -
delightful! The last piece, the Etude
of the Bells by Rachmoninoff as well,
begins with the deep clanging of
church bells, the clash of marching
soldiers subsiding into the tinkling of
sleigh bells. It ends in a MAD finale
of bells, pounding and echoing over
the keyboard.
After tumultuous applause and a
standing ovation which her outstan-
ding performance certainly deserved,
Miss Ippolito rewarded the audience
with an encore,_Schuberts' Musicale
in F' minor, a•wild, melancholy gyp-
sy dance. It was a truly remarkable
performance, and everyone there
knows that we Canadians will be pro-
ud to have Miss Ippolito represent us
in international events in the future.
Guide§ Enrolled
Last Monday evening, 25 parents
and assorted envious siblings
gathered to witness a very special
event. Thirteen girls "flew up from
tenderfoot status to become official-
ly enrolled as girl guides.
The walls of the Anglican parish
hall rang with the sound of marching
feet, a color party presented the flag
and everyone stood for "0 Canada"
and the openin: prayer.

in all of the new council on Monday
afternoon at 3:00 pm. Severe wind
and snow storms eovered the area,
prohibiting new councillor Barb
Southcott from returning to Grand
Bend for the official ceremony.
Guest speaker for the inaugural
meeting, Rev. James Sutton, Exeter
was also unable to attend because of
the inclement weather. Southcott
became stranded in Mitchell when
unable to continue through
roadblocks set up by O.P.P. because
of poor visibility. Councillor Bruce
Woodley had not arrived from
London.
Mollard informed council that ac-
cording to municipal law if elected
members are not officially declared
at the inaugural meeting they are re-
quired to reapply. Therefore, a mo-
tion was passed to have council ex-
tend the time of 30 days for the two
missing members to be sworn in at a
later date. Councillor Bruce Woodley
arrived somewhat later from London
and was declared then. The clerk told
council that they may take the oath
in the municipal office anytime
within the 30 days.
Mollard then proceeded to give
Reeve Harold Green, Deputy -reeve
Dennis Snider and new councillor
Marsha Lemon their declarations of
office and oath of allegiance. PUC
commissioners Prosper VanBruaene
and Roy Johnson were officially
declared for another term of three
years. Mollard wished everyone a
successful term.
Green outlined solve of his
priorities for the future term cutting
it short. Snider suggested that they
give their official inaugural addresses
at the next regular meeting when
everyone would be present.
However, new councillor Lemon ex-
claimed that she was very excited to
be a councillor. She said that she had
three major goals. First, she wanted.
to become familiar with all the by-
laws, secondly, to become familiar
with all the people that she will have
to work with; and thirdly, to establish
an outlook or attitude towards Grand
Bend as the unique village that it is.
New council minus one new
member, then proceeded to review
some old business and discussed cor-
respondence. They adjourned at 5:00
p.m. for dinner and reconvened at
7:00 p.m. to finish the agenda. It was
felt that many items should be dealt
