ONE : That it's the end of something: that's fairly obvious, right? I don't expect all of you to have known that - or even most of you but I do hope you got this much out of it: I will just tell you straight out that it was the end of Brahms First Symphony, the last 60 seconds of it. Now that you've got your paper and pencil, may I say you don't have to write down a thing about that music we just played. Now all you need for this quiz is a sheet of paper and a pencil those of you here in the hall have already been furnished with same, and those of you viewing on television have exactly 60 seconds to equip yourselves with same, while we mark time musically with the following: Of course there'll have to be some questions involving knowledge: no quiz could exist without them but the emphasis will be on the enjoyment of music, and for that reason I hope this quiz will turn out to be enjoyable even if it is a sort of test. What it will have mostly to do with is musicality - that is how sensitive you are to music, how much you really like it, how deeply it gets to you, how alert your ears are, and how much they retain of what they hear. Well, this quiz is intended for neither type, because it will have very little to do with knowledge - that is, with straight information on composers, titles, themes, dates, that sort of thing. Now quizzes are funny things: there are people who love them and people who loathe them to one person you only have to mention the word "quiz" and he runs to the nearest exit: and another person will respond with "Yippee! A game! Can't wait!" I suppose the difference is between those people who are madly eager to show off what they know and those others who are scared at the thought of being exposed as ignorant. Because this is the first time in all our eleven years of Young People's programs that we are running a music quiz of any kind - and, I believe, it's the first time anybody has in the history of television. My dear young friends: This is a very special occasion, a most unusual one. Please call the music and dance office 978.542.6503 or send an email to schedule an audition appointment.Original CBS Television Network Broadcast Date: Some circumstances may require external transfer students to make special arrangements for an audition date and time, and this will be scheduled with the music and dance department chairperson on a case-by-case basis.Īpplicants are encouraged to reserve an audition time at least two weeks prior to their desired audition date.
