This Week’s Cover
- The maestro raises his baton, and the Mapleburg Elementary School orchestra takes off vehemently into Hearts and Flowers or maybe The Caissons Go Rolling Along. Everything proceeds on beat and even on pitch until, just before the great final chord, trumpeter Elfreth Jones, over there in the brass section, fluffs a run, creating a shriek like a banshee on a dark and turbulent night. Well, nothing happened, nothing gained, as the great operatic tenor probably mumbles in his false beard when he, too, occasionally gets caught in public with his high note down. The essence of Amos Sewell’s scene is that these youngsters are not just enjoying music vicariously, but triumphantly creating it themselves. Especially Elfreth.
