»Ut kiiteaii liMiiiOT mMtk MUSIC DEPARTMENT Rhythm Men Just as the downbeat of a conduc- tor ' s baton commences harmony from talented performers at his command, so do the member areas of Texas Tech ' s music department combine their forc- es to comprise a strong department. In his seventeenth year as music head, Dr. Gene Hemmle co-ordinates and su- pervises programs and teaching within the department. Growing proportionately with Tech ' s booming enrollment, the department, centered in the campus music build- ing, has branched into 17 additional buildings, where theory, practice, and utiUzation of talents occur on a mas- sive scale. Controlling the reins of the orches- tra branch, Paul Ellsworth conducts the Tech Symphony, chamber orches- tra, and ensembles which include some 70 orchestra students. Gene Kenney heads the choral de- partment, which includes the Tech Choir, Tech Singers, and men ' s and women ' s choruses. Also performing on campus and community level are the Madrigal Singers, a selective non-cred- it group. Heading the area of beind affiliation I: lip PAUL ELLSWORTH Symphony is his domain. DR. GENE HEMMLE Heads expanding department is Dean Killion, who conducts Tech ' s Goin ' Band from Raiderland. In addi- tion to the marching band, a concert band, two stagehands and two var- sity bands penetrate the atmosphere with rhythm at Tech. Weekly student recitals, required for gaining a degree, are presented either on campus or in churches throughout Lubbock. Periodic concerts are pre- sented in the Student Union ballroom and Coronado Room, and are open to the public. During the formal school year, a series of Sunday afternoon chamber music recitals are performed in the Tech Library foyer. For the first time this year, the de- partment ' s Opera Theater is being housed in a permanent building, so that an accelerated music-drama pro- gram might be effected. Two major highlights of the year are the department ' s participation in Tech ' s Fine Arts Festival, and in the Festival of Contemporary Music in the spring, with guest lecturers and musicians appearing on a symposium level. Instigated this year, a music theory program supplements the two pres- ent programs toward degrees in either applied music or music educa- tion, all of which place emphasis on skilled vocal or major instrument per- formance.
