NEW COURSE IN GERMAN FOLK SINGING

Gene Folk Singing, anew
course at Douglas College,
makes the process of mastering
German a pleasure. The non-
credit course, which will meet four
Thursday nights beginning Oc-
tober 22, allows people to build
their vocabulary and gain verbal
experience, while sharing in
Germany’s rich cultural heritage.

Students will learn 52 of the
most beautiful German folk songs,
assembled on cassette tapes by in-
structor Bert Schendel. Par-
ticipants will not be required to
have music reading ability.

Enthusiasm for German is more
important than experience with
the language. To take part in the
program, Schendel says, students
"don’t have to be fluent in Ger-
man, but to get the gist of the
pronunciation, it would help if
they had some background in Ger-
man." He adds, "I am prepared to
take people that have not studied
German, if they have interest in
the course.”

The course is one of a broad
range of cultural and language
programs held at the New
Westminster campus of Douglas
College. For more information

ACROSS THE
PACIFIC IN AN
ARMCHAIR

 

one of the Armchair Travellers’
Series of audio-visual programs
presented by Douglas College.

Instructor Bert Schendel ex-
plains, "Armchair Travellers is a
bit misleading, because they ex-
plore subjects; they’re not just
travelogues." The non-credit
course, which will meet four Mon-
day nights beginning October 19,
will explore subjects such as his-
tory, culture, archeology, and an-
cient navigation.

The program follows the course
of a west-to-east trip across the
Pacific. Schendel says, "We start
travelling in the South Pacific and
then cross the Pacific into South
America." Along the way, the class
will spend one evening traversing
the South Pacific islands from the
Solomons to Tahiti; one evening
will be devoted entirely to Easter
Island; another to the Inca and Pre-
Inca cultures of South America,
and one session will focus on
modern South America. Each
audio-visual presentation is ac-
companied by discussion and
travel tips.

 

The course will be held at the
New Westminster campus of
Douglas College. For details

Programs, call 520-5473.

NEW MUSIC
DUO

he new music duo Current

Figures will perform a concert
of original music at Douglas Col-
lege on Thursday, October 8 at
12:30 as part of the Noon at New
West Series.

 

 

 

 

Current Figures, comprising
Edwin Dolinski and Robert
Caldwell, makes music using com-
puters, synthesizers, and
electronic percussion. Caldwell, a
percussionist, and Dolinski, a
keyboardist, are both composers.

What they do with these tech-
nological tools, though, isn’t al-
ways what might be expected.
"Blind Alley", a solo percussion
piece written by Caldwell, is based
onan African tribal dance, which
