_ | LATEST NEWS FROM MUSIC'S REALM FLONZALEY QUARTET HEARD IN SUPERB. CHAMBER MUSIC Recent successful recording of this form of musical art gives added Ay evidence of Victor Supremacy words from the Cross, accordii gospel of St. Matthey “Eiki, Tama sabachthani,” the theme of the song is the tinal cry of man in the face of man-made suftering that no human agency can mitigate. Strange how a few solemn chords can bring us at once into the atmosphere of awe and mys- tery, which must ‘ever surround the last human cry of the Only Son of God. Wherever Sophie Braslau has’ sung this number in public she has been reeted with storms of applause, and er record will prove exceptionally welcome, HE Flonzaley Quartet is an or- ganization abso- Jutely unique. For fifteen years its members have been associated, and their har~ mony of eltort has given a mu- tuality of pur- pose which finds expression in musical interpre- tations of a high order, In fact, the Flonzaley Quartet is with-, -out a rival in its New dance music for midsummer. merrymaking. The Original Dixieland Jazz Band comes along with some weird and won- derful nuntbers on a Victor Record this month—one of. which is the “Skeleton Jangle” fox trot. The melody stands out vividly against mysterious noises that. clearly suggest the ratfling of bones. On the reverse of the “record “Tiger Rag” one step has cnough tiger in it to sound like feeding time at the 209, but there isa clear and definite melody behind the medley ot sounds, Joseph’ C. Smith's. Orchestra presents a quartette of dance numbers on two Victor Records calculated to keep the {cet-of dancers active, io matter how hot the day. “My Dough Boy"—a one step—has.as much “pep” in’ it as°a regular American infantry soldier, and events are proving that this is a great deal, There is an Irish touch. at times, anda brief but unmistakable phrase from the “Marseillaise” that keeps the military suggestion in. mind, “Cali- coco” fox trot, on the reverse of this record, has a strong marking of the rhythm that will -challenge any fox- trotter. weet a Some new effects crop up in “Smilgs’ calculated to keep dance a fox trot with a song in of an innovation. ‘Ihe refrain describes how many different kinds of smiles there are, and what they mean. On the other side of the same record “Rose Room” fox trot is combined with “My Oriental Rosebud” and makes a most attractive number. “The Magic of Your Eyes!” How do you suppose this enchanting love song came to be written? Well, Arthur Penn confesses that it just came to hin while playing the offertory. in church service; and the motive of Gregorian sternness which occupied his fingers, gave way at the will of his mind-to the.tune, and with it words and music flashed before him. After service the rector mildly ex- ostulated with im for his dan- gerous appraach to the. secular, but having: done that, was human enough to ask what it was. Everybody. else who hears it for the first time. is equally curious. This*is the be- witching song that Frances. Alda has chosen for a new Record month. melodi- special field. Leis The string quartet—two violins, viola ‘and 'cello—is regarded by many as the highest form of instrumental music. ‘The four instruments have each their own individuality, yet they blend to- gether with a perfect homogencity of The Flonzaley Quartet was i 2. J. de Cappet, named “Flonzaley” after his residence on Lake Geneva, Switzerland. Through his support the Quartet was enabled to follow a rigid devotion to the cultiva- “tion of chamier music, and ultimately to become independent. It is only natural that the work of such artists should seek preservation on Victrola Records. Difficulties, how- ever, stalked in the way of perfect re- production, but Victor mastery eventu- ally overcame them and now gives chamber music to the world in lasting form. The introductory number the Flon- zaley Quartet has chosen for a Victrola Record just issued is the “Canzopetta” from Mendelssohn’s well-known “Quar- tet in E Flat, : ‘A very timely and inspiring or- chestra number is tor Herbert's “American Fan- tasie” played by Victor Herbert's Orchestra on a Victor Record just issued. The fan- tasie is a brilliant piece of musician- ship. A. magni cient introductory movement leads to a full orchestral presentation” of Z “Hail Columbia,’ and there follows such soul- airs as “The Old Folks at Home,” ‘ Girl I Left Behind Me,” “Dixie, umbia the Gem of the Ocean,’ the aid of the various instruments such as strings, piccolo, oboe and drums, in terpretative value is given these famil- jar tunes, Finally the number reaches ‘a splendid crescendo of growing or- chestral forees in a strong presentation of “The Star Spangled Banner.” ee * i} A iS Victrola =e this, wows Though, ous, the son, an. exacting: one, Its high pitch, however, scems_ merely’ to, have broadened Alda’s opportanity,;The purity and sweetness of this great oper- atic singer's high tones are ‘remarkabl in evidence, and one is lost in admir tion at the free and effortless singing, Scngs of the hour—and of war. Billy Murray rolls off one of his in- imitable Irish songs on a new Victor “Recor ‘hey Were All Out of Step But Jim.” A doting mother saw her “Jimniy on parade, “as stiff as starch, and just like his father on the seven- ‘teenth of March”; and she fondly gives expression to her thoughts. On the reverse of the record “Sailor” Reilly sings of how. “We're ‘All Going Calling On the Kaiser—to fit him with a wooden kimono.” This “Navy man has a strong voice and enun- ciates clearly. His singing has broyght ‘in many recruits and much money for iwar_ service, s > The Peerless Quartet presents a song on a Victor Record this month that we “are all. willing ‘to echo—‘We'll Do Our Share (While You're Over There)."” It is a promise made in a letter from a mother to her son, She writes to her y in France, telling how much she ‘would like to be with him to shoulder his troubles for him as she did in the carly days, but that she’is doing all she can at-home, A sort of return message is found on the other side of the record, in. “Cheer Up, Father; Cheer Up, Mother” in words of comfort from.a‘soldier boy in prance to the folks ad ome. It'is ef- ectively sung wis James: With all the Jan swing and tunc- fulness of a popu- Jar song, yet, ut- ‘terly devoid of the .commonplace is a resentation by ‘Mabel = Garrison on a new Victrola Record. “Khaki Sammy” is, its ‘title, and it is a splendid song, brilliant in char. zeter’ and. fairly “alive with energy. It is worthy the best efforts of even so famous a singer as Mabel Garrison of the Metropolitan Opera. And it is a hopeful sign, indeed, that our leading composers and singers are able to produce music that is populat in fecling and intrinsically good, eee Harry Lauder recites—ror a change. eae, Indian Songs by Princess Watahwaso. To the work the schools~are “doing along musical lines comes this’ contri- bution on a mew Victor Record. Princess Watahwaso (Bright Star) is the daughter of a Penobscot Indian chicf near Oldtown, Maine. She has a rich mezzo-soprano voice of great sweetness and emotional power; and in this native American these songs find an ideal in‘erpreter, - Fi ‘i “By the Waters of Minnetonka” is founded upon a’ legend about two lovers from the Sun" and’ Moon clans of the Sioux tribe who, when in danger of be- ing captured and tortured, engulfed, themselves beneath the waters of Lake Minnetonka, near Minneapolis, : The “Sioux Serenade,” on the other side of the record, is another Indian love song founded upon a Sioux melody. The popular songs of the month, with scarcely an exception, ate‘ burdened with the consuming thought that is’ nat- urally on the heart of the nation; and the lights and shadows of that thought are reflected in the sheasts of its peo- ple individually—all concerned. about winning the war, or giving expression to their tender fcelings for loved oncs “over there.” “When I Send:You a Picture of Ber- lin (You'll Know! It’s Over ‘Over There,’ I'm Coming Home)” is a song by Arthur Fields and the Peerless Quartet on a new Victor Record with an original idea in it. It is sung with fine effect. “Indianola,” on the reverse of the record, is the song of the Rcd Man preparing to “do his bit" ia the war, Another Victor Record _ contains “Hello Central, Give Me No Man's Land,” the pathetic plea of a little tot whose daddy is in the thick of if. “My Belgian Rose,” on the same record, a symbolic song intending to rouse the drooping “Belgian Rose” ‘by promising to make an American Beauty of her. At the end theirefrain is played. as a violin’ solo with delightful effect, Charles Hart and the Shannon Four present on another Victor Récord “Paul Revere (Won't. You. Ride for. Us. Again?)"—an invitation to the great patriot to rouse us once more with war's alatums. “Bring Me*a Letter From My Old Home Town,” on the same record, 4s delightfully sung’ by Lewis James and the Shannon Four, practical exemplification saging,.“The worker goes, but his work goks.on,” is found in the passing of im: Evan, Williams, — for his. voice will go on and on with messages of cheer and inspiration for myriads in days td come, Though other ar- tists. .have gone, leaving a few Micfos Records, as athiv Marry is ation of “Gran: ctor Record this month, He modestly ex- plains, by way of introduction, that it is“ A little story about a lad'I met at the front.” You know him, perhaps, as the great Scotch humorist, but has made many’ changes, and its tragedies have ticllowed Harry Lauder. into. a—shall we si eritable humanist ; ‘for this is a human story, if ever there was one.
