Plot | : | + Mutual net, WGN, Chicago origination. The program originates from Soldiers Field, Chicago. The Twenty-First Annual Chicagoland Music Festival. A seventy-five-thousand voice choir begins the program with, "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles!" A seventy-six-organ ensemble (with eighteen harps!) plays "Flying Down To Rio" and "Claire de Lune." The Festival prize winners are Suzanne Hamilton and David M. Aiken. Henry Weber speaks about the first festival and conducts a one-hundred-piece orchestra in Wagner's "The Festival March," as he did at the festival twenty-one years ago. Alec Templeton plays a "hot" "Hora Stacatto" and the first movement of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata." He then improvises a selection based on five notes called out at random by the orchestra. He also plays "Mozart Meets Rogers and Hart" (very clever!). Arlene Einz plays a classical accordion ("The Coriolanus Overture" by Beethoven). Jack LaFrandre forgets what network he's on while giving the system cue! A memorable broadcast! |
