E veryth ing w ill take place on the U n ivers ity of N ew M exico cam pus m A lb uquerque, and in conjunction w ith o u r N e w M exico A ll-S ta te C o n ven tio n and Festiva l.

F ro m th e rough d r if t o f the program received from C h a rle s Enunons, S W - M E N C President, it appears that the C o n ven tio n w ill rea lly be aim ething great. T h e re w ill be so m any w o rth ­w hile w orkshops, panels, concerts, and exhibits that one w ill find it d ifficu lt to even choose those w h ich interest him most, m uch less attend a m ajor portion of them. T h e correspondence w hich goes into a C o n ven tio n of this sort m ust be great:, a n d the detailed p lan ­n ing m ust be overw helm ing. and it is no w onder that p lanning for the 1973 C o n ven tio n has a lready begun.

It is very doubtful at this w ritin g that the entire S W M E N C program can oe printed in this m agazine because of its crreat volum e, and because the final d i : f t is not yet p r in ta l, but you w ill b : m issing a fine experience if you miss the convention.

M y sincere congratulations go to the new ly-elected executive committee fo r the 1971-73 term . H a ro ld V a n W in k le w ill be our new President; W in C h r is ­tian, B an d V ic e P resident; W a rre n D en nis, C h o ra l ViC'C P resident; D o n Beene, O rchestra V ic e P resident; and

H a rr ie t H eltm an , E lem en tary-Jun io r H ig h V ic e President. T h e Secretary- T rea su re r w ill be appointed by the Board of D irectors. T h is is a highly capable committee, and our o rgan iza­tion w ill move forw ard under their ca p ­able direction and leadership.

It is d ifficu lt to adequately thank tho,^ w h o have been of so m uch help to me over the past tw o years. T h e vi ce-presidents, H a ro ld V a n \.V inklc, Ben C a n fie ld , Jack Stephenson, Jim Bonnell , and L ila Sto ut have been more than adequate and e ffic ie n t fo r their posts, and the help, direction and re ­m inders from R o llie H e ltm an have been invaluable. Tht: hard w ork, cooperation, suggestions and vo luntary service from tOT m any to mention have m ade m y job tolerable, even pleasant. W ith o u t the unselfish a'\Sistance from so m any, our organization could not function .

S o — sincere thanks to all of you w ho have helped me th ro u g h the past tw o years, and best w ishes for success to our new executive committee.

Be sure to come to our Choral Meet­ing with some conductors names to con­sider for ne.xt years All-State Choirs. Resume of All-Slafe Puesfionaire

^ le choral directors in their meet­ing last January, 1970, recommended that a>me type of qu^tionaire be used to find out the feelings of the high school choral members toward All-State ;iuditions, memoriz.ation, etc. that will help auditions in Albuquerue before they can sing in the All-State Chomses.

The purpose was to contact last year's All-State Choir members through their directors to find out how the students felt toward certain i&.ues at All-State such as: membership v.alue, memoriza­tion requirement v.alues, and audition procedures in Albuquerque before sing­ing in the choruses,

A questionaire was mailed out to schools that had large membership in All-State Mi.xed Chorus and 'or Girls Chorus this la,-;t year (1970), ass;uming th;tt these schools would have a larger number of returning students and that they would be available to help moke a fairly valid inquiry.

The directors cwpenated by seeing th;it their students had questionaires to answer. The students returned their

comments around October 1, 1970.There were thirty schwls cont.aq

over the state. They w ere: Alaj gortlo High Schwl. Albuquerque | Highland HS (A lb ) , Manzano | (A lb.), Rio Grande HS (A lb .), SaH HS (A lb ) , Valley HS (A lb,), M son JHS (A lb.).

Mayfield HS (Las Cruc Las Vegas HS, W est ^ s Vegas Lovington HS, Portales HS, Ros HS, Goddard HS (Roswell), Santa.1 lS, and Tucumcari HS.

The 1970 All-State Mi.xed Ch and Girls Chorus had membership f sixty-five schools from over tlte sc Thirty sch^ls were contacted to !: us with the questionaires.

‘k.tvc ,idd any aiJditional comments nth ?>uggt'stnms that will hdp us npmve this auditii^, e gemrr.d viewpoint on the first

question is aJmost unanimously in favor of memorizing the music. The students I'ccl “tha t A ll'State is .t great honor ,ind th u one should diow himself to be deservmg by memorizing the mus^." A l^ . they fee l that if they already know their music, the conductor can get down to helping them perhirm the music well.

The general viewpomt on the second question is that it is the student's re­sponsibility to learn the music not the teacher's. However. they f^ l that the teacher’s hdp is very valutible and that he should be willmg to help as much as he can.

On the third question, the students feel that one should ring selections lected by the auiJitioner and not b>’ him^lf, Because of the time element mvolved. they feel it is unnecessary for each scw.lent to sing all of each nunv ber, but thc> feel everyone should be prepared By letting the auditioner pick the selection the students must know- all o f the numbers, Abo, the general viewpoint w.as that one should have ,i s;econd chance only in the ca^ of ner­vousness.

This year's record, entitled “Glory to God in the Highest", features a variety :tf instrumental accompaniments to old and new carols. Some of the more familiar selections on the recording are: “Little Dmmmer Boy“, “Away In a Manger“, Oh Come, All Ye Faithful’’ and “W hat Child Is This?". In con­trast, some nice arrangements, but less familiar were: "Y a viem: la vieja “, “Jingle Bell Travelogue", “Proudly Sounds the T.tmbourine“, On Clarist- mas Mom the Christ W as Bom “ and *^he Carol of the Star". The instru­mental accompanists ... wcrprovided by members of the choruses and assistance came, also, from the LCHS Band and Orchestra. The record is a 1 2" LP stereo recording of the highest quality and ^lls for $3.95. Proceeds from this will furnish the chorus activity account with funds from which festival and clinic activiti« will be taken. Trips are financed from this account, also. The recording was made by Mark Rogers, a Las Cruces High Sch ^ l student. Rogers used only professional equip­ment and was assisted by professionally experienced technicians.

IF YOU A R E A SK ED - Are Scales and Exercises Necescary to Attain a Professional Career?

TH E A N S W E R IS-Hclcn Tr;mbel:

My mother, Clara Stuhr. was sing­er But first of ;JI, she was a woman of deep wisdom,;ind from her I learnei.i a fundamental secret through three words she told me when I was a small child: “Make haste slowly.”

I was spared the classic disappoint­ment of a successful debut followed by gradual defeat because I was made to rcahze that hours and hours of scales must com.-: before arias, just as surely as years of study must precede che simplest operation performed by a sur­geon. There is no substitute for hard and patient effort in mastering a skill or ,m art. W e are human, and we are. all of us, weak and fallible. It is na tural to look for easy ways and short cuts. But in the end, what we must al­ways try to remember is that lasting success usually goes to those who have the patience and wi«dom t.o make haste slow !>'•
