Renaissance opened with Running Hard , depict- ing the movement of a racer, with the piano echoing the female vocalist, and the beautiful Mother Russia, which is dedicated to Alexander Solzhenit- syn, the Russian poet. Ocean Gypsy, which has not yet been recorded, me- lodically and sadfully expressed the moods of the sea. All of the group members partici- pate in writing their material. It ' s very difficult to find the time to write when you ' re touring, and during the past year we ' ve been on the road quite a lot, Dunford explained. What we try to do is to put together a basic melody, then Bettey Thatcher, our lyricist, pro- vides the words. Recording and performing are two different things.

In the midst of the classic Ashes Are Burning, Tout and Camp provided an improvisational interlude which aroused frenetic audience response. Since ' Ashes Are Burning ' , which was recorded with an orchestra, we find ourselves wanting strings and such in our arrangements, explained Camp.

Renaissance is keyboardist John Tout, bassist John Camp, percussionist Terrance Sullivan, acoustic guitarist Michael Dunford, and soprano soloist extraordinaire Annie Haslam The five member British group im- pressed the capacity audience with its sense of beauty and its professionalism. Haslam ' s strong soprano voice and ele- gant, princess-styled gowns added to the masterful lighting and sound on stage. The performance was a spirited one, although the group was midway into a grueling tour. This is probably the worst part of any tour, said Tout, because you ' re very tired and yet you realize that it ' s only half over. Exuberance, not exhaustion, was ' Continue on page 15 ) t 14
