MUSIC By Helen Fetter. O any one who may have made a firm resolution to go and hear fine. music well presented, in the list of Friday's new resolvings, the coming weck offers excellent opportunity to carry out that resolution. Tomorrow, Albert Spalding, a’ really splendid native will give a program herc. Mr. Spalding comes almost ¢t from Europe, having just landed here a few days ago. He has| n many triumphs in his foreign tourtand last Summer was much feted his concerts in Paris. Tuesday brings that remarkable organization, the New York Phil- e Orchestra, for its second concert here this year, under Mr. Mengelberg. The earlier program here was so beautifully performed that 2 d forward to with added interest. Tuesday also brings 1sual colored tenor, Roland Hayes, who has been heard here This singer is said to possess all the artistry essential to the erpretation of the best in song literature, yet to be especially adept in ng the negro spir His program here includes both types of violinist, N ore. 1 musical attraction scheduled for Tuesday a special sted whis Ernest Nickel, a protege of Carrie Jacobs the artist who is so well liked in the Capital, and Oscar Nicastro, a South Aunerican artist, new to Washington, will give a joint program. The end of the weck lank musically P ! harmonic Society, the Georgetown Festival .

He left Aloysius’ Church in Oxford; thence to Sacred Heart rere he also was professor of organ at the Cin- tory of Music for three years. In 1909 he came to Wash- urate and maintain the new choir of men and boys at Matthew’s Church. In preparation for that work, Mr. Boyce first nded the Church School in Rogensburg, Germany, Dr. Haberl, or a vear's course, specializing in polyphonic music in all its ; 2 Since 1910 he has had charge of music at St. Matthew’s Church 4 for the past seven years has given courses in ancient church music | nd_polyphonic music at the Summer school of the Sisters’ College, afiiliated with the Catholic University here. * K % HE George Chorus, to present a gton, but director _for authority festi was organist at NOTHER American org: , Chandler Goldthwaite, will dedicate the newest in the list of fine organs that Washington possesses tomor- It is placed in the new Hamline M.

The group included his own “Song _\\ ithout Wor and Rene Becker's “Sur la Nile,” the latter building up a iovely thr_v_m- only to end with the usual trite chords. Rogers’ “Christmas Pastorale” was another timely selection. Mr. Sealy is recognized as a master -of the “king of instruments.” Rev. Dr. Phillips, rector of Epiphany, and chaplain of the local or- ganists’ chapter, had been announced to discuss medieval carols in his ad-. dress, but instead he spoke generally on the beauties and spiritual quality of music with ministerial cloquence. He expressed the hope that next year the congregation would be equally familiar, through training, with the carols, so as to join the choirs in antiphonal singing of such numbers. Surely this group of really earnest organists mast feel the responsi- bilities and possibilities of musical development in Washington that lie latent beneath their touch for co-operative music in the Capital. * ok kK NEW and laudable enterprise is about to be inaugurated under the auspices of Harriet Hawley Locher, head of the public service and A educational department of the Crandall Theaters, which will offer music to children, by children. Beginning next Saturday, in addition to the care- fully selected program of motion pictures for juvenile audiences offered week at the Tivoli Theater, juvenile music students will be featured on the programs. This week the three performers will be Everett Stevens, 9-year-old piano student; Barnet Breeskin, 15-year-old student of the violin, and Madeleine Lazard von Unschuld, 16-vear-old piano student. The entire program will last from 10:15 to 12:15. In view of the excellence recent Junior Clubs’ program at the Museum a few weeks ago, the riter feels that there is, indecd, a fine supply of earnest, talented young to appear o ch programs Mrs. Locher is arranging, giving ation to ‘their fcllow-students in the audience and gaining valuable . poite from stage appearances themselves.

Yet she won a higher honor in the end.

It was to be a magnificent spectacle, a gor- geous festival of music. Toscanini Invited Rosd Raisa to sing the so- prano role. The United States, and Chicago in particular, have been kind to Raiss Here in this country she had_at tained her greatest success. \When the invitation was cabled to Ralsa a tour was impending. She was to be an important part of it. Had she made the plea, the Chicago company her rather than stand in her way. She said inst: - “My duty lies with Chicago and the American people.” Toscanini cabled back to her: “Have postponed premiere. when you will be at liberty. When “Nerone” was first presented to the world. months afterward, Rosa Raisa was the soprano star. She re. cefved fairly regal acclaim from the Italian people. Cable e B S TRERRES Atmy Band Program. HURSDAY the United States Army Band will present its next Pan- entertainment, from 7:30 to 9 p.m., Frank B. Kello ; of the United States, will give a talk on “The Growth in Influence and Serv- ice of the Pan-American Union.” The Army Band will give a concert of indigenous music representing 15 of the 21 countries of the Union. This music is almost wholly in manuscript, and while much of it is difficult, it 1s all interesting. When attempting a program of the music of the ancient Aztecs, Mayas, Incas and Guarani peoples, the first thing that strikes the careful student is the use of the Pentatonic, or five- toned, scale; this, together with their peculiar harmony, gives a sad and rather plaintive character. The Yaravi is particularly striking in this respect. In the more modern compositions from our sister republics, the extraor. dinary rhythms are somewhat trou- blesome, especially at first read- ing. They are the logical outgrowth of their Indian forebears, with a very noticeable flavoring of Castilian na- ture injected at the time of the Span- ish conquest. This makes so unusual a combination that it presents con- siderable difficulty to correct interpre- tation by one not familiar with this type of music. This music seems to have a great attraction to the people of the United States, as many letters attest its popularity. Many of these numbers are specially arranged for the Army Band by our staff of arrangers, Master Sergt. Theodore Bingert having done ex- ceptional work in this respect. Tech- nical Sergt. John Bauman has done some creditable solo work on the xylo- phone, this instrument being very popular with radio audiences. He wiil glve the first presentation of “La Princesita,” in the next concert. F bR R Friday Morning Music Club Program.

Bach Mulet Singer of Spirituals ’I'HERI‘J is only one proper way to sing negro “spirituals”—in the mood in which they were conceived— and it seems scarcely necessary to point out that no white singer is ever able to interpret pirituals” as they are interpreted by membes of the colored race. Roland Hay remark- able colored tenor, who will sing at the Washington Auditorium Tuesday evening, is said to sing the negro spirituals in a way that shows genius. He has the soft. mellowed voice of his race, but in a far finer degree. He knows these songs of his own peo- ple. With his truly remarkable ability of emotional interpretation and vivid illusion, he actually experiences their simple and abject The emotion of the ever exalted, is vital, stark. Europe scarcely knew *this great American treasury of folk songs until Roland Hayes sang them there. When ‘spirituals, ROLAND HAYES. Roland Hayes first sang before the King and Queen of England, and when he sang again before the Queen last Spring, both were profoundly stirred by the “spirituals”; they questioned him about them, and pressed him to sing all of them he knew. Hayes has already appeared as so- loist ‘with sach: famous- orchestras as the ‘Queen'’s Hall Orchestra.of Lon- don, under Sir Henry -Wood; at the Colonne: Concerts in Paris, under.the direction of Gabriel Pjerne; with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Bos- ton, under Pierre Monteux; with the same ‘orchestra, under Koussevitsky, in New York, Brooklyn and Provi- dence; with the Detroit Symphony Or- chestra in Detroit, under Ossip Ga- brilowitsch, ,.and with the New York Symphony ' Orchestra_in New _York, under the direction of Bruno Walter, guest conductor.
