St. Paul Chamber Orchestra thoroughly pleases audience ByALJACOBS High School Music Instructor The St. Paul Chamber Orchestra's first appearance in Fergus Falls was an auspicious beginning for the Concert Association's 1975-76 series. A large audience came to listen and, judging by the response accorded the ensemble, went home thoroughly pleased. While the concert consisted of compositions by only four composers, It was not a short concert, nor one lacking In variety.

The opening selection, Bach's Concerto for Violin and Oboe in minor, featured concertmaster RomauW Tecco and James Kilmer, oboe. To this listener, it was like serving the best wine first. Bach's music is so complex in struc- ture and yet so simple to listen to that it never loses Its ap- peal. The first Allegro had smooth, flowing melodic lines, with excellent repartee be- tween the two soloists and the orchestra. The lush beauty of the Adagio, with the dominant sound of the oboe, and the jaunty rhythms of the final Allegro were flawlessly done.

Stravinsky's Concerto in E- flat, "Dumbarton Oaks," was in marked contrast to the sound of the Bach. Written in 1938 for the same Instrumental grouping as the third Branden- burg Concerto of Bach, it displayed a combination of sauve sounds and occasional strongly dissonant chords. Honegger's Pastorale d'Ele' was first performed in 1920 when it was chosen the winner in a composition contest by the audience in attendance. As the name suggests, the music was very quiet, with an array of beautiful solos from start to finish. First the horn, then the oboe, then a horn duet, warm sounds from the bassoon, the silvery sound of the flute, the final haunting sounds of the horn all blended smoothly together to form a perfect picture in the mind.

The final selection, a major work, was that old friend, Symphony No. 5 in B-flat by Schubert. One frequently hears il played by larger groups, but the warmth and intimacy of the chamber orchestra is a Joy to the listener. One's respect for Schubert, who wrote more than six hundred compositions In a short lifetime, is enhanced when he knows that this work was written at the relatively tender age of 19 years. When making general comments aboul the concert 1 feel the greatest praise would be heaped upon Dennis Russell Davies who has done wonders for the orchestra during his brief tenure.

His style on the podium is conservative, by some standards, but very ef- fective; and the orchestra a i superlatively. While one hesitates to single out in- dividual members of the or- chestra when so many fine sounds were heard, James Kilmer's oboe came in a win- ner. Some wag once referred to the oboe as "an ill wind that nobody blows good," but Kilmer is a somebody, and we will be hearing a lot of him in the future. Again, as with most musical groups in the junior high auditorium, the lack of an acoustical shell caused the orchestra difficulty in hearing itself, and cost the audience the best of the sounds from the rear of the stage. Audiophiles would be in- terested to know that the St.

Paul Chamber Orchestra will be releasing its first recordings next spring on the Nonesuch label. ST. PAUL CHAMBER ORCHESTRA ENGAGED Clifford Ouses celebrate 25 years JoAnn Kroeger weds Richard Swenson Sept. 27 Ferps Falls (Ma.) Oct. 8,1975 Journal 5 JoAnn Carolyn Kroeger, daughter of Mr, and Mrs.

David Morten son DEAR ABBY: 1 recently saw a TV program that really shook me up. A 30-year-old wife and mother who had always known that she was adopted decided to try to locate her "real" parents. With the help of a lawyer, she was successful in finding her "real" father. (Her mother had died.) Although the young woman was certain that she had found her natural father and the man at first confirmed that he was he later denied it. Abby, was an unwed mother at the age of 15.1 gave my infant girl up for adoption and later married a fine man with whom 1 had four children.

I told him about my illegitimate child, but our children don't know it and neither do any of his relatives-which 19 the way I want it. 1 think it's grossly unfair for an adopted person to go looking for his (or her) natural parents. The couple who raised my firstborn are her "real" parents. In some states, when an adopud person reaches legal age, he has a right know who his natural parents are But what about MY right to privacy? NAMELESS IN CHICAGO DEAR NAMELESS: I agree with you. But for another point of view on thit subject, read on: DEAR ABBY: I have always known that I was adopted I am now 17 and know that when I become "of age," I can demand that my file be opened to me so I can know who my natural parents are.

Abby, I have absolutely desire to locate them They gave me up because they felt il would be better for me and possibly for them, too. The parents who took me when I was 1-week-old, raised roe and gave me their love and all the material things they could afford are my "real" parents. No other could be more real to me. I am not saying that I have never wondered what my natural parents are like, but I can truthfully say that my curiosity is not so great that I would risk upsetting their lives by suddenly appearing or risk hurting the parents to whom I owe so much. NOT LOOKING IN SEATTLE DEAR ABBY: My husband has always been a very selfish man, but the other day he topped himself when he carried on like a crazy man because had cut three roses from his rosebushes.

The rosebushes have loads of buds on them, and I can't see that 1 did them any harm. My hu sband claims that roses should notbepickcdinthe first year. I always thought that rosebushes produced bigger and more abundant blooms after the flowers were plucked. Who's right? If my husband is right, I'll keep my bloomin' hands off his blooms. N.

DEAR Picking rows oft the the Erst year vrfll not the health of tie roatbush. But it might not be too healthy for yoor marriage. For Abby's booklet, "How to Have a Lovely Wedding," send SI lo Abigail Van Buren, 132 Lasky Beverly Hills. Calif. 90212.
