the tribune thursday december 2 uk green wood man is fivey0slr vetfcraii iii torpmo symphony by ted wilcox greenwood i f saw ed tait one evening last summer when my wife and i made our one and only visit to the toronto symphony at the intermission a thin mustachioed ed tait of greenwood a fiveyear member of the toronto symphony lere sounds a few notes on his guarnerius string bass the instrument was nade in italy in 1685 member of the string basssectioncameoutand made a speech on why a new concert ball was needed to replace massey hau that was ed tait speaking in his capatity as chairman of the ar tistic advisory com mittee tor massey hau i met mr tait again when i interviewed him last week in green wood home where be has lived for the past five years- with his violinist wife diane mr tait points out that the summer evening when i visited was the only time he had ever made a speech before the symphony audience most of mr taits waking hours seem to be centred in some form or other around the subject of music he spends anywhere from one to 10 hours a day practicing by himself depending on the difficulty of the pieces the orchestra is performing and the symphony comes together 20 hours a week for practice sessions and three concerts most people are surprised its a fulltime job said mr tait they ask what do you do for a living and sayisnt there anything else besides the sym phony itself mr taits life is taken up with playing in the toronto repertoireorchestra the metro united festival orchestra and the cjrt fm orchestra mr tait who is the assistant principal or number two man prrmtrg the eight string basses on the toronto symphony also tours schools aith a string quintet plays with the cbc and even helps add the string track to some rock and roll records his musical interests be points out are not limited to classical works im a real jazz fan says mr tait more than half of my recor dings are modern jazz recordings i enjoy country and western and some rock although i dont have a taste for the top 40 records he adds however iiiai among those he can recognize a good per formance when asked about the musical interests of the average person today mr tait commented its easy to be critical and say that by far the majority dont have any musical taste but thats no different than it was 200 years ago serious music in those days was per formed only privately in the homes of aristocrats be said a very large per centage of the sym phonys audience now says mr tait jare young people in their late teens and early 20s and early 30s i dont think weve been falling behind one interesting aspect of a professional musicians life are the instruments they play which often are finely crafted antiques- mr tait has a 1685 guarnerius- string bass which be bought a few years ago from a dance band musician in toronto j when i got it borne i discovered the label and what it said on it recalls mr tait the guarneri family was a very very famous- instrument- making family as famous as stradivertus the toronto sym phony is not com paratively much of a touring orchestra ac- cording to mr tait and they have made only two tours since be has been with them to europe and to canadas east coast this spring a year from january however the symphony will be making a history- making tour when they go on a threeweek trip to the republic of china regarding the journey- he saidrits something thats been a dream for me ever since i learned there was such a place sv v the food is sow c6od- the symphony members will be per forming in peking for sure and will visit the great wall- and the forbidden city on his trip to europe with the orchestra mr tait was accompanied by his wife diane a violinist who occasionally plays with the symphony he and diane had played together in the art centre orchestra in ottawa before coming to toronto today mrs tait uses- her violin to freelance with the ballet church jobs and recording sessions x mr itaif s musical background involved work with percussion instruments while in high school but while at the university of toronto be gradually became more involved with the string bass bythe time 1 graduated from university i wanted to be a professional musician be said at the time i played with the canadian national 3youth -or- chestra and i enjoyed it so much i really wanted to do it full time glen warren
