Maestro's Blog: Halloween Candy Encore. There are 3 pictures: George Marriner Maull and his older brother, Frederick Howard Maull, on a June Sunday morning in 1960. They’re standing in the churchyard of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church (also pictured separately) at 3rd and Pine Streets in Philadelphia, which opened its doors for services in 1761. Last photo was taken at the school’s 1956 Annual Halloween Party. On the far left in that picture, we have someone in a voodoo mask of sorts, playing a very small drum. Next to him is “Mr. Clean” in his traditional arms-folded pose. The third choirboy has covered his entire countenance with a wig. And finally, on the far right, we have a stereotypical pipe-smoking “hip” guy of the 1950’s.

I was delighted to hear George Marriner Maull’s “Inside Music” when he discussed how to listen to and enjoy Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, the 4th movement. To have the words of the choral Ode to Joy translated and explained (word for word) was enlightening and inspiring as well. And to learn all the intricacies of the music itself was fascinating.
