Unfortunately, the audience’s response was not equal to the pianists’ performance. Michel Beroff and Jean- Philippe Collard performed pieces by Claude Debussy, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Oli vier Messiaen, in a concert spon sored by the MSC Opera and Performing Arts Committee. The audience responded favorably to the first piece, “En Blanc et Noir” (In Black and White) by Debussy, in three movements, and “Shite No. 2 for Two Pianos, Op. 17” by Rach maninoff, a Russian pianist, conductor and composer. Debussy wrote “En Blanc et Noir” in 1914 when his country, France, was threatened by Ger man forces. Debussy said the first movement alluded to men who did not participate in the 'm qUcN 1-HOUR COLOR PRINTS Beginning February 17, bring us your color film, browse the Post Oak Mall, and pick up your color photos in one hour.

In the second movement, De bussy used variations on the melody from “Ein Feste Burg” (“A Mighty Fortress”) by Martin Luther to suggest the presence of German armies. The Scherzando movement is characterized with persistant high, background whistling pitches, imitating the sound of wind and rain to signify life’s continuity after war. In the piece by Rachmani noff, the first and second move ments interwove to sound like one pianist was performing. The Romance was melodious and soft, conjuring up the sham poo-commercial image of a boy and girl running to embrace each other after a long separa tion. The Tarantella seemed to be physically demanding for the pianists. The second half of the per formance consisted of one duet, “Visions de I’amen, for Two Pianos” by Messiaen, a French composer. This piece, which consists of seven movements that are commentaries on the meanings of amen (“so be it” in Hebrew), was not well received by the audience, possibly be cause of its abstract and contem porary style.

Price said he believed the Dal las department was among the first in the country to offer such a program for recruits and is hoping it will be successful in attracting more women and minority applicants. Buddies will not patrol together, however. Price said all recruits attend the Police Academy for 17 weeks, then re ceive six months of field training and are then on six moi probation, all underihesi sion of an experienced tl “It’s possible that ail point in their careers, bl sons who joined togethel patrol together, but till going to have to get i perience first.
