When sun rays crown thy pine clad hills And Summer spreads her hand When silvern voices tune thy rills, We love thee, smiling land, We love thee, we love thee, We love thee smiling land.

As loved our fathers, so we love; Where once they stood , we stand; Their prayer we raise to Heaven above, God guard thee, Newfoundland, God guard thee, God guard thee, God guard thee, Newfoundland.

ANDREAS BARBAN

Born in Leipzig, Germany, in 1914, Andreas Barban attended the Leipzig Conser­vatory of Music following a classical education at the Thomas School and King Albert Gymnasium. He majored in piano and conducting at the conservatory and in 1939 he moved to Shanghai, China, where he taught piano and was a frequent recitalist on the French radio network.

In 1947 Mr. Barban emigrated to Canada, arriving in St. John's to establish a private piano studio. For almost 40 years he has helped develop the talents of thousands of young Newfoundland pianists, many of whom have distinguished themselves in the music profession. In addition to his piano teaching and performance, Mr. Barban has made, and continues to make, a major and significant contribution to the cultural life of St. fohn's and the entire province as a lecturer on music, as a conductor, and as an adjudicator.

In 1958 he was awarded the associate diploma in piano performance by the Toronto Conservatory of Music. Since 1978 he has served Memorial's Department of Music as ~part-time instructor in piano and German lied. Fluent in three languages, Mr. Barban Is a scholar of German lied and German romantic literature. His recitals have been heard throughout the province in concert halls, on radio and on television.

REVEREND SISTER MARY LORETTO CROKE

Sister Loretto began her teaching career in 1913 at Mundy Pond in St. John's. Her music career actually began in 1903, when at the age of nine she began piano lessons with Mother Gerard at the Placentia Convent. Since that time, Sister Loretto has been a student and teacher of music, continuing to teach piano and violin to her students at Presentation Convent School in St. John's. She is now the oldest active music educator in the province.

Sister Loretto was born in Placentia in 1894, one of five daughters of James Croke, an Irish immigrant and local blacksmith. Her family moved to St. John's in 1910, and she completed her education at Presentation Convent on Military Road. From 1913 to 1915 she was lay teacher at Mundy Pond and in 1915 she entered the Presentation Con­vent. Two years later she was assigned to the school in Witless Bay to begin her long career as a classroom music teacher.

In 1918 she moved to Harbour Grace and served there until1956, when she return­ed to the Presentation Convent School. Sister Loretto officially retired in 1964, but she still continues to teach. She is an honorary fellow of Trinity College of Music (London, England) and an honorary life member of the Music Council of the NTA. The Depart­ment of Music at Memorial acknowledged her long service to music by inviting her to be the guest speaker at a dinner for its first graduating class in 1979.

MALCOLM TROUP

Before he had reached the age of 17, Malcolm Troup had already earned the associate diploma in piano performance from the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, and had made his debut with the CBC Toronto Orchestra. His studies continued at the Guildhall School of Music in London, England from 1950-52 and with the world-famous pianist Walter Gieseldng from 1954-56.

In 1955 Dr. Troup was awarded the Harriett Cohen Commonwealth Medal of ex­cellence in performance. He has recorded three LP albums of his solo work and his writings on music and related topics have appeared in numerous journals. In 1968 he received the doctor of philosophy degree in musicology from the University of York and then accepted a teaching position with the Guildhall School of Music. From 1970 to 1975 he served as the school's music director.

In 1975 the City University in London established a new music department and Dr. Troup was appointed department head, a position he still holds. It is largely through his efforts that the City University now has a flourishing music programme that is perhaps unique among British universities for its emphasis on experimental music, particularly in the field of electronic music.

Dr. Troup has performed widely throughout Canada, Europe and South America and has been guest soloist with a number of major orchestras. He is an honorary fellow of the Guildhall School of Music, a freeman and liveryman of the City of London Wor­shipful Company of Musicians, and an honorary professor of the University of Chile. ~tWas through Dr. Troup's co-operation that Memorial's external semester programme ~n music was organized and implemented with the City University in 1977. Since its 1~ception the programme has broadened and enriched the musical and general educa­tlon of 40 Memorial students who have studied at the university in London.
