One would like to stop there, for this sort of thing pretty well beggars descrip tion. Boulez is a 32-year-old Frenchman who in a short time and with comparatively few compositions to his credit has forged to the front among contemporary extremists, a position he shares with Stockhausen, a 29-year-old Ger man, and Luigi Nono, an Italian in the same age group.

Group of Poems Le Marteau sans Maitre" centers around a group of three short poems by Rene Char, which were printed irt the original French in the program presumably because they are untranslatable. In Boulez's composition they are sung, if that is the word, by a soprano, with before and after commentaries by an instrumental ensemble consisting of alto flute, viola, guitar, vibraphone, xylorimba, and various percussion in-f struments. It is said that some GO hours of rehearsal were required to prepare the work and that is entirely credible, for while the technical difficulties of execution did not appear to be excessive except for the singer, the problems of getting the right notes in what the composer considers to be the right places must have been formidable and involve Opera Star Italo Tajo Signs for Taimy Here the role of Griselda in "God's Little Acre" is Arlen, recently appearing in "The Big Caper" and "The Helen Morgan Story." "God's Little Acre," Security Production, is to be directed by Anthony Mann, for Producer Sidney Harmon. Robert Webb, director, sf SHOWING i i ics. Plainly there are ingen ious organizational proced ures in this music, but if there is any meaning in a musical sense it evaded us completely.

It sounded more like Webern than anyone else, with a minimum of un related notes carefullv dis tributed and no doubt artful ly calculated, but combining a way that relates to noth ing in past experience. Catherine Gayer, sang the solo, and the instrumental-1 ists Arthur Gleghorn, Mil ton Thomas, Theodore Nor man, William Kraft, Dorothy Kemsen and Lester Remsen semed to function accur ateiy under tne composer direction. Assorted Sound Stockhausen's "Gesang dcr Junglinge" was' a collection of assorted sounds assembled on tape, with a boy's voice as the only recognizable ingredient. There were noises like the croak of frogs, the plash of water, the rattle of sheet metal, gastric disturbances, or what have you? and this is music it's time to drop the H-bomb. The program began, not unsuitably, with Thomas Tel-lis "Lamentations" I and II, a pleasantly archaic exhumation euphoniously sung by Joyce Ferrin, Cora Lauridsen, Richard Robinson, Howard Ghitjian, and Robert with Robert Craft conducting.

It is said to be inspired by the success of country and western warblers, who are enjoying such a vogue. Webb worked on this during his spare time while directing "Way to the Ha, was the director of "Love Me Tender" with Elvis Presley, but there is no indication that the new picture is as yet designed for the rock 'n roll champ.
