time take her away from him.
FOLK SONG & DANCE FROM UPPER EGYPT - A song &
dance accompanied by a group of El Tabel Kabir & El Mouzmar.
ORIENTAL DANCING - The Oriental Dance is produced by the
unique movement of the dancer's arms, shoulders, belly and
hips. The dance is not choreographed by instead relies on the
spontaneity of the dancer's feelings and personality.
The Candelabra Dance is an ancient tradition, dating back t o
the original lighted candle dance. The candelabra weighs about
ten pounds and is made of copper or iron. So few performers
have mastered the tremendous skills required that it is in
danger of extinction.

PROGRAM
(subject to change)
Part One
THE WEDDING PROCESSION (EL ZAFAA) - The traditional
Egyptian wedding procession is a ceremony in which the bride
leaves her father 's house to go to her future husband's home.
Accompanying the bride and groom are joyous relatives,
musicians, singers and dancers, celebrating along the way.
OUR COUNTRY IN THE MOONLIGHT - In Egypt, the m oon
has a unique appearance - the sky is always clear and the
moon is visible for about 10 days each month, lighting the
remote villages and countryside.
and attracts a sizable audience.
El Tahatibe (stick fencing), one of the oldest surviving martial
arts, is a stylized combat between two opponents armed with
thick bamboo poles. Illustrations of El Tahatibe appear on
Egypt's ancient monuments, evidence of a form of art that has
remained intact for over thirty centuries. In performance, the
percussionist acts as the referee.
FROM THE NILE DELTA - A dance performed by the Gawazie
from the Delta region in the form of a dialogue between the
dancer and the percussionist. The intricacy and beauty of the
dancer's movements and of the folk music complement one
another.
EL T ANNOURA - El Tannoura is a unique form of art which
t races its history back to the 14th century. When the
Tannou ra dancer begins to twirl, he raises his right hand and
low ers his left, making a connection between earth and sky
t hat has religious significance.
INTERMISSION
FROM THE SOUTH OF EGYPT - A dance from the southern
region of Egypt perforrr..ed by the Gawazie, who are often
described as Egypt's "gypsies", accompanied by a singer. It
depicts a man enumerating the physical beauties of his beloved
from head to toe.
OASIS TABLEAU -This tells of Hamouda, a desert deer hunter,
who also sings at wedding parties in the oasis, sometimes
accompanied by a dancer. His song describes his undying love
for a woman - a love that cannot be ended, "even by the edge of
the sword".
EL MOUZMAR and EL TAHATIBE - El Mouzmar (wind
instruments, similar to the oboe) are heard prominently in this
piece from Upper Egypt, also known as El Tabel El Kabir or
'The Big Drums". Usually, the music is played in large markets
Part Two
EL TAHMELA - Borrowing the title and form from the tradition
of Arabic classical music, the ensemble of instrumentalists string, wind and percussion - performs a work during which
each musician steps forward to improvise and demonstrate
mastery of his archaic instrument.
GAWAZIE SONBATT - A dance presented by the Gawazie from
the northern part of the Delta, usually at wedding parties. The
village of Sonbatt is famous for this dance, in which the dancer
uses a stick and hand cymbals and is accompanied by a singer
and musicians playing El Mouzmar, El Rabab and percussion.

A NOTE ON MIGUEL DE CERVANTES
Man of La Mancha is suggested by the life and works of Miguel de
Ceivantes y Saavedra. Ceivantes was born in 1547 to an impoverished
family and lived a life which is only sparsely documented. He was a
soldier who suffered serious wounds, was taken captive, and spent five
years as a slave in Africa.
Above all else, Cervantes loved the theatre. In 20 years he wrote some
40 plays, none of which were successful. In 1597 he was excommunicated for "offenses against His Majesty's Most Catholic Church," narrowly
escaping more drastic punishment. He served at least three, and
possibly five, prison terms for various charges.
Aging, infirm, and an utter failure, he undertook the writing of Don
Quixote to make money. Volume I (1605) brought him fame but little
profit. Volume II (1615) insured his immortality as author of the world's
greatest novel, but he was already broken in body if not in ~p~t.
Ceivantes died in 1616, within 10 days of his contemporary, William
Shakespeare. Cervantes' burial place is unknown.

~ GALAXY OF SHINING STARS Campaign
-1'-
In October 1993, SLOC launched a major fundraising campaign to
raise money to replace its old/outdated lighting system. We are pleased
to report that over $15,000 was contributed through the generosity and
support of our audience and membership, and the campaign is over.
The new lighting system was ordered in early Februruy 1994, and the
lighting crew hopes to have it installed and operational for Man of
LaMancha and future performances! The system has a computerized
board with a two-scene preset. As a more reliable, modular system with
30 dimmers, it is capable of interfacing with the lighting system at
Proctor's Theatre; it is also lighter in weight.
SLOC sincerely thanks all those who made this "dream" a reality!
• MUSICAL THEATRE AWARDS •
Schenectady Light Opera Company offers a High School Musical Theatre
Awards competition/program in the spring of each year. For more
