Professor .XRtiu'R Mixmi., Cihairman of the Music Department, is an expert on the Illllsll' ol llach. Presently he is editing thoral works for the .Vette Brtclt-.lu.ygrtlu'. In his edited text Professor Mendel tries to capture the true quality of the music as determined by research into its original sources. Although he is interested chiefly in Nath, Professor Xlentlel docs devote some tinre to the study of Renaissance music. He is the coeditot' of the renowned lincll lfcrlrlzfr, a major contribution to the academic musical world. l'roI'essor Mendel also tleyotes tnuch of his tinle to mttsical organizations outside of l'rinceton. He has been a member of the lixecutiye lioartl of the .Xmerican Musicological Society. and for tnany years was conductor of the Cantata Singers of New York. M'illiam Shuhael Conant known composer. At the project of his life, a three act opera based on the conquest of Mexico. lt will be called Morilrfunta and will concentrate on the period from the landing of Cortes to the death of the Altec etnperor. The text, written in linglish by the famous Italian novelist and scholar Borgese, is poetic drama, and Professor' Sessions has had to cut large portions of the original script in order to fit it into normal opera time. The opera is scheduled to be completed by the end of the suirnner of 1961 and will be performed. probably abroad, in May of lfltii. Professor ROGLR Hl'Nl'lNfQlllX Slissloxs, l'rofessor of Mtlsic, is an internationally present titne he is working on the biggest 28 CARI. lvl-iIXRlllll, Director of Music at the Princeton Chapel, is a famed organist. He is known especially for his performances of Bach and is presently engaged in recording the complete organ works of Bach in twenty-five long-playing records. Mr. Heinrich pioneered the movement which advocated a retutn to the tvpe ot organ used by liach and his contemporaries. This movement has had a revolutionary effect on the building of organs in recent years. Mr. Mcinriclr also has a great interest in contemporary music, especially that of Schoenberg. As they leave Firestone Library just before closing time, many students like to stop in at the Chapel and hear Mr. Weinrich play' the organ. 'l'hese in- formal concerts are restful, and because they offer a pleasant escape from academic worries at the end of the day, they are greatly' appreciated. When one enters .Xrtist in Residence Hvnti Sot.oyiox's studio in the tower of Pyne .Xtlniinistration, he finds himself surrounded by sym- phonies of clanling color. Large canvases lean against the wall covered with beatitiful compositions of bright pigments arranged so that no color, no matter how bright, ever clashes with its neighbor: everything blends into the unified artistic whole. After some moments of study, the viewer begins to project himself into the paintings and they seem to attain a personal meaning for him. Only later does the visitor notice the quiet, unassuming tnan who is the creator of these works. Hyde Solomon seetns to prefer standing back, not saying much, so that his paintings can speak for him. Technically he is somewhere between abstract impressionisni and expressionistn. Best known for his land- scape abstractions, his major exhibition this year will be at the Poindexter Gallery' in New York.
