Baltimore Consort brings Renaissance to A&M
By Amy Collier
The Battalion
T he Baltimore Consort will revive music of the Renaissance peri
od tonight in a performance in Rudder Theater at 7:30 p.m..
The concert is the University Chamber Concert Series’ fifth and
final concert of the year.
Dr. Werner Rose, professor of music and coordinator of the music
program, arranged for the consort to come to Texas A&M. Rose said
the musicians play authentic music from the Renaissance period.
“They’ve literally spent years trying to train themselves to be mu
sicians from that period,” Rose said. “On stage they become late Re
naissance musicians.”
The concert is an enriching opportunity for people to learn music
history from many centuries ago. Rose said.
“It is unusual and very special,” Rose said. “I think it’s going to be
a wonderful event. We have not had an old music group that was
pre-Baroque on campus in a long time.”
The ensemble began in 1980 by performing English instrumental
music. With the addition of soprano Custer LaRue in 1983, the
group expanded its music and began to perform Scottish music.
The consort now performs 16th and 17th century British, French
and Italian music with Renaissance instruments such as citterns, vi
ols and lutes.
By touring extensively across the United States and having three
compact discs on the Billboard charts, Rose said the group has es
tablished a name for themselves.
Like musicians during the Renaissance, Rose said the musicians
show their musical talent by improvising some of their music.
“There’s not a great deal of printed music from that period of
time,” he said. “The performers were expected to be improvisers.”
Dr. Lorinne Marlow, a visiting lecturer of music, said she has
been listening to the Baltimore Consort’s music for years and is
looking forward to finally hearing it live.

“I think it’s a very marvelous group and they perform a wide variety 11 e0 °

Kathryn Creamer, publicity coordinator for the consort’s managing
company, said the great talent of the artists makes the show entertain )

“It’s very interesting and very lively music,” Creamer said. “It’s <
nitely a broadening experience.”
Rose said the concert will be an interesting and intimate experiencel
“I think people will enjoy a marvelous evening of music-making typ f

“I told him I was interested in only one
thing — career publicity — and not using
O.J. Simpson as a device,” Solters said.
Solters said Monday that Kaelin has lost
some potential movie roles because he has
to be available to testify at Simpson’s tri

One of Kaelin’s confirmed projects is a

Statue dismembered in bizarre Big Boy brawl
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Who killed Big
Boy?
Someone stole the 300-pound, 6-foot Big
Boy statue from a restaurant Friday, dis
membered the grinning fiberglass fellow
with a hacksaw, scrawled “Big Boy is dead”
on the pieces and dropped them off around
town Sunday.
Between giggles, police are taking the
theft seriously.
“This is a sad, sad day for the city when
somebody would desecrate a hallowed symbol
of the 1950s and 1960s,” Sgt. Richard Murphy
said Monday, his brow furrowed in concern.
Then he grinned.
“It’s really hard to keep a straight face
when you talk about it,” he said. “We’ve been
trying to put him together again like Humpty
Dumpty. I think he looks pretty good for a guy
who’s been cut up.”
The hamburger-toting statue with the
black pompadour, red-and-white checkered
pants and suspenders has guarded the doors
of Big Boy restaurants around the world since
the 1930s. The chain is owned by Warren,
Mich.-based Elias Brothers Restaurants Inc.,
which operates 850 restaurants worldwide.
Murphy said Big Boy was chopped into
seven pieces. His hamburger was intact,
but his right ear and part of his belly were
still missing.
A note was attached to all but one of the
severed limbs with the message: “Big Boy
is Dead.” A note attached to one limb said:
“Big Boy is almost dead. Nevermind. Now
he’s dead.”
Each note was signed: “Pimps of pimply
ness.”
Taped to the severed right buttock was a
newspaper ad that said: “Strip Steak $2.29
a pound.”
“They had a sense of humor,” Murphy said.
The statue was worth about $4,000.
Restaurant Manager David Nelson said
his Big Boy, whose feet had been encased
in cement to prevent thievery, was discov
ered missing Friday morning, parts of
shiny black shoes left behind. The eatery,
one of 10 Big Boys in the city, has been
closed for remodeling.
Nelson found Big Boy’s severed head on 1 age to
