1 C-7 cathedral sounds soothing, meditative Review by Larry Krip San Franciacoi gothiC Grace Cathedral has played host to some unusual, visitors in its time, but nothing quite so strange or marvelous as the tine Paul Winter Consort -4 While tape-recorded sounds of the ocean and itt rtany inhabitants swirled and echoed through the stone arches overhead, the band wove an acoustic, instrumental tapestry that seemed to well. up out of the walls of the cathedral, weaving ln and out of the cries of blue whales and dolphins, walrus and orcas, producing a unified whole. The six musicians used everything from the overwhelming reverberations of the cathedrals pine organ to the spry, tiny double ocarina and sfifistrange brass instruments called contrabass sarmsophones. There were no lyrics to impart a definite but the premiere performance of Winters latest hour-plus suite, Callings, had a moving effect on the audiences that packed the two performances Friday On an emotional level the concert could not -liavecbeen more successful By halftime of the first show, there wasnt a dry eye in the house. Not that Winter and cohorts had been playing Incredibly virtuostic stuff.

Instead, the group offered mostly quiet, meditative and highly melodic sounds that caused one nearby listener to exclaim, "What an incredible prayer to the earth!" Her cry was echoed by others throughtout the 'evening. The two concerts were fund-raisers for the national Humane Society, which was holding its annual convention in San Francisco. While many in the. audience were from the convention, many others were locals who had been to previous Winter concerts, and came expecting yet another magical night of music. Callings musically traces the journey of a sea lion from Baja California up the West Coast of North America, across the polar strait and down the Atlantic Coast to Magdalen Island, with souhds of the various sea creatures popping up along the The musicians seemed to listen to the voices of the sea mammalb, then answer them with musical phrases that at first mimicked the animal then developed into a full-blown theme.

At one point Winter, who usually plays soprano sax, carried out a huge brass contrabass sarrusophone. Oboeist Nancy Rumbel did the same, and the two played out the sounds of a pair of blue whales singing to each other. -Ted Mono created' an ocean storm with his vast array of drums, tympani and percussion ln-' struments. With the exception of one soaring, cli mactic section, the cathedral pipe organ was used, by Paul Halley (organist for New Yorks Cathe-; dral of St John the Divine) mostly for harmonic group support Guitarist Jim Scott and cellist Eugene Friei sen took appropriate solos, but what, came out of the concert was the unity of the entire piece of music, and the ease with which it captured the audiences ear. Much of "Callings" was so soothing and that applause seemed an intrusion on the quiet between sections.

A standing ovation brought the group back for two encores, including "lea--, rus." The concert and its music attempted much, especially in musically linking mankinds relationship with the other species. And its success rested, as much on the audiences emotional experience as on the music. SribnneTODAY Mojiday, October 20, 1980 Moore plagued by tragedy, disappointments By Vernon Scott 'iilfl A'few months later, in her struggle to escape the strictures TV situation comedy, Mary starred in an expensive, over-produced musical variety series that failed dismally. It was not he first major disappointment in Marys career. More than a dozen years ago she starred on Broadway in a musical version of Breakfast at Tiffanys and was roundly panned.

She was crushed, by public and cricital rejection. The public, it seemed, refused to accept Mary as anything but a TV cutie. Her professional frustrations were abetted by family problems. In 1973 she and her producer husband, Grant Tinker, separated. They worked together as officers of Mary Tylcpr aMoore Enterprises but lived apart They.

At last Mary had fulfilled the driving ambitions of her life: to become a serious actress respected on Broadway and a bona fide motion picture star. Finally, she was recognized as more than that cute TV.

housewife, Laura Petrie, in The Dick Van Dyke Show and the cute career girl Mary Richards, in The Mary Tyler Moore Show. On quitting her Mary Tyler Moore 'Show, two years ago, she said, "If people are never going to let me be anything but Mary Richards, Id just as soon pack it in. Marys domestic serenity was shattered two -years ago by the death ef her sister, Ann, 21, from an overdose of drugs.

We've always been close, Dana, 18, said recently as she took a break from studying for an upcoming economics exam.

Before that, she spent six years in charge of Californias Bureau of Compensatory Education Program Development, was a consultant for several federal education programs, and traveled to England as a Fulbright exchange teacher.

But one of. her most. rewarding Jobs, she recalls, was as a teacher in the school district she Love. remembers him as "a fine educator (who) didn't have a chance to do many of the things he wanted to do (inf Oaklands schools).

From 1954 to 1959, Love turned a 'childhood game into substantive reality. "Teaching in the classroom is the ultimate job in education, claims Love, of whom it has been strongly hinted is a top contender for school superintendent in Chicago or a high-ranking post in the barely 6-month-old UJL Department of Education-jobs which Love will not statd firmly whether she has turned down. She does admit, however, that she thinks a career superintendent should not spend more than five years in the same city, although she wont say if she plans to make a career of being a superintendent in Oakland or anywhere else. A year ago, I thought that one superintendency was enough, she said guardedly, but now I really dont know. When Love joined the Oakland district on Nov.
