141 lt 12 thorexaminer Frldlx Oct 26 1979 Yehudi Menuhin profound knowledge of music but hes relaxed and articulate as series host Music of Man series all to strong start By STEPHEN iALTZR Of The Examiner In The Music Man an eight part CBC series that premiered Wednesday at pm violinist Yehudi Menuhin tries to do for music what Kenneth lark did for art in Civilization and Jacob Bronowski for science in The Ascent of Man Menuhin faces more difticult task because an examination of music seems less suited to visual medium than art or science but judging from the first episode in the series he manages to cope thh the limitations of the small screen land poor audio reproduction very well The Quiver of Life the first episode discussed the origins of music by showing us the primitive music of African tribes the Inuit people and the Plains Indians of North America intercut with Menuhins own ideas about how and why music first appeared Music must have preceded all the other arts because we make out it of ourselves says Menuhin as he leads the viewer through an examination of tribal folk chants and primitive instruments Menuhins knowledge of music is obvious ly profound but hes telaxed and unusually articulate scholar with knack for con veying his own passion for music as well as the technical and historical information Best of all he makes music theory as fascinating as music itself An interview with Cana dian composer Murray Schafer prompts Menuhin to try out one of Schafers soundscapes Rube Goldbergster mobile that produces barrage of per cussive sounds when
