MUSIC By Helen Fetter. HE handshake is the universally accepted symbol of the personal equation in every line of human endeavor-—business, social and artistic. It is “the intimate touch” that means so much in prac- tically every walk of life. In the musical world this is equally true. The greatest artists, such as Mme. Schumann-Heink, Feodor Chaliapin and John McCormack, all recognize the value of the personal appeal and the fact that their aodience hos not assembled just to sec a purely intellectual display of their musical talent ; rather, that audience has assembled because the people in it want, every individual of them, to get a personal reaction to the artist’s interpretation of life through his own particular medium and in his own special way The Friday Morning Music Club of Washington has established a record year during the season 1925-6, not only by the gxceptionally high standard of music presented and musical interpreters who appearcd on programs, but by the informal, friendly manner in which the audience was made to feel at home and a part of every one of those programs. The season began with au imposing assembly of the members in the Pan- American Building for a program of Latin American music. The club ended its season with a charming rhythmic dance program in their clubroom, transformed with birthday greenery in celebration of the fortieth anni- versary of the founding of the club. Tt is especially significant that the officers of this club for the past year were unanimously re-elected to hold the same offices for the next season. This was not only a compliment to the officers, but to the membership of the club as a whole. It is a woman's organization and one grouped together in behalf of an art constantly referred to in disparaging tones by the unmusical as “the most tempera- mental, touchy of all the ar Yet this musical group, the Friday Morn- ing Music Club, seems to possess complete harmony of organization, as well as an admirably progressive tendency and an excellent state of open-mindedness. This club takes great care that the ultra-modern in music may have the best presentation by soloists or groups who under- stand the modern idiom and thus give it a fair chance beside the classical music, which, by reason of its age, has had so much exploitation by skilled and unskilled alike that its message is more familiar and therefore more readily welcomed by the average audience. * % %k Xk A MUCH more youthful organization that offers the cordial hand to old and new music alike is the Orpheus Club, composed of the younger musicians and singers who make music more than an avocation. Every other weck a couple of the members present the meetings’ programs, which are well thought out and prepared beforchand, yet given in an informal atmosphcre that is conducive to chatty reciprocity of opinion and news. Gaiety and relaxation form the keynote of Orpheus Club meetings. Such music as is presented is well given and keenly enjoyed. This group, too, is informal when it comes to elections and the pomp of organization rou- tine—limiting its probicms along this line to election of a chairman, a secretary and a treasurer. For two years Katharine Brooks has been the chairman of this club—that is, ever since its organization. At the annual meeting last week Mildred Kolb Schulze, secretary since the club’s found- ing, was elected chairman for next season. * ok kK STILL a third Washington group that takes its music seriously, yet knows how to thoroughly enjoy it, with the unairaidness of personal interest, is the Vipivoce Club—youngest of all local music_groups in the actual age of its members, few of whom have even reached the middle of their teens. This group, which is doing excellent work in developing musical appreciation under the direction of Miss Frances Gutelius, will appear in annual recital during the coming week. The Vipivoce Club was a feature of a concert that will doubtless prove momentous in local music history in years to come—the first concert given by junior clubs of the District of Columbia Federation of Music Clubs at the National Museum Building December 12, 1925. Un- fortunately, this took place on a Saturday afternoon at the height of the Christmas shopping rush, Therefore, many who otherwise would have attended, did not do so. It was hoped that a similar concert might be given this Spring, but the plan has seemed unfeasible, with the conflicting rehearsals and practicing for individual “Spring recitals.” Such a con- cert, however, could well form an important part of a Spring festival pro- gram for Capital music circle * ok ok ok pEOPLE are always interested primarily in the things that they person- ally know about. Men, as a rule, do not like to take women to ball games because so many women don’t know what it’s all about, and thus irritate those that do. In the present day there are, of course, many more women who do know base ball than there were even a couple of years ago. The same thing is true about music. Nothing is more irritating to the real music lover or musician than people in the audience. who just don’t know what it is all about, and thus become restless and make every one about them unhappy, too. A singer who can and does in a few weil chosen words tcll some anecdote that gives enlightenment on his songs to be interpreted, to a generzl audience, is a wise man and a successful artist. There are many who scorn this method, holding the view that people who don’t know shouldn't come to a concert. These snobbish ones are the singers who are cutting down the size of their own audiences. People not only like to hear things familiar enough to give them certain egotistic pleasurc entirely aside from enjoyment of the singer's reading of the songs; the general public, especially here in America, likes to hear a story about almost anything. Realization of this quality in an audience has much to do with the success of a young Canadian singer of Scottish ancestry who appeared under extremely informal conditions on a_program at the Arts Crub last Sunday evening. sponsored by Gideon A. Lyon, a leading member of that organization. Baldwin Allan-Allen, with the invaluable assistance of Rogers MacGregor at the piano, proved such a success that a “demand audience” that filled both rooms to capacity for a second concert by the Ynm:' Monday afternoon from 5 till nearly 7 o'clock let him stop with re- uctance. _ Mr. Allan-Ailen. who looks uncannily like the Prince of Wales, and, therefore, it goes without saying, is a likable person, as well as good looking, has a rich baritonc voice and has mastered the complicated subtleties of the art of song. Moreover, he tells in a few words inter- esting facts about the songs he sings. For instance, who, of all the grown men and women in Washington who have sung (or tried to sing) “Loch Lomond” since early public school days, ever knew before Mr. Allan-Allen told us that that lovely Scotch melody was not a love song at all, but the swan song of Scotch braves caught in England when they failed to put Bonnie Prince Charlie on the throne and were condemned to death? This song, by common consent, was sung so that their disguised comrades who were still free knew that those who sang of “taking the low road” meant the death road, so that spiritually they “would be in Scotland afore ye.” And then, when Mr. Allan-Allen sang the song, how much more it meant even to a musical audience that had never chanced to hear the tale be- fore! Tt is things like these that constitute the musical equivalent of the “handshake” to acquaint people generally with music so that they will understand and like it." : Tt is also interesting to know that Mr. Allan-Allen and Mr. MacGregor, too, wear wound stripes for long and valiant service “over there.” Also, Mr. MacGregor was accompanist for that famous American singer, David Bispham, for 10 years and was later organist at the Church of St. John the Divine in New York. Many will recognize him by the name Woodruff Rogers, as he did not assume his mother’s family name of MacGregor until becoming associated with Mr. Allan-Allen in these special programs of folk music of the English, Irish, Scotch and kindred people. Together, this pair of musicians make a rare picture in their Scotch “kilties” of their family clanas and give an even rarer interpretation of English lan- guage songs as they should be sung. There is the familiar “Flow Gently, Sweet Afton,” alongside of “The Legend of the Seal-Woman,” a fascinating folk song of the Hebrides, as an idea of the variety and resourcefulness cf their programs. Tt is to be hoped these gentlemen will come again soon to Washington and give a larger audience the >‘I'aenefit of one of their charming recitals. * X X LAST week in this column the subject of the dramatic reading plus mausical accompaniment was touched upon and seems to have aroused at least one responsive chord in the person of Miss Anita Schade, who is well known as a linguistic authority as well as a fine reader. Miss Schade says she quite agrees with Mr. O'Connor, whose opinion as to the scarcity of accompanists with this special talent was expressed at that time. Miss Schade also offers the following information, interesting historically, as well as being appropriate at this time: “These are the names of a few Washington pianists whom T have found entirely in accord with my ‘readings,’” says this lady. “The first one—and I think that was 'way back in the 90s—was Minnie Schott, now Mrs. Owen B. French, who studied with Dr. Anton Gloetzner; then, a little later, Mary ball, now Mrs. Kutchin of Los Angeles, Calif., a pupil of Theresa Carreno, who assisted me in a concert of German poetry and music. Since the days when Robert Schumann, enthused by Hebbel's charming ballad, ‘Fair Hedwig,’ composed the accompanying music— which, if I may be permitted to say so, is still the most beautiful of all the many, many ‘melodramas’ composed since then—numerous composers have tried their hand at this kind of work. At first mostly German com- posers, like Max Schilling (Wildenbruch’s ‘Das Hexenlied’), Richard Strauss (Uhland’s ‘Das Schloss am Meer’) and a score of others of lesser importanca “Of oz American composers who have been interested in such work T would like to mention Arthur Koerner, whose musical settings or accom- animents to the poems of Rabindraneth Tagore are very beautiful. But g must not forget to mention two other pianists who have in recent years assisted me. They are Mary Isabel Kelly, pupil of the late Xavier Scharwenka, and Mrs. Greta von Bayer. To work with them was most delightful. No reader can do full justice to musical readings unless he has a good ear for music. The good accompanist is not sufficient; the reader, too, must feel and understand the music being played to his word: Such is the message of a generous contribution to this discussion of the increasingly popular practice of giving readings with musical accom- paniment. Its information is welcomed and valuable, Especially notcworthy is the fact that the local pianists of different periods mentioned in Miss Schade’s contribution all studied with internationally recognized masters of In this work, as in all others, it is oa'v the thoroughly trained as well as talented artist who is valuable.

The hymn memory con- test was more successful than ever before. Every institution having been furnished with concerts arranged by Miss Waugh has signified the hope that similar concerts will be furnished next season. It was reported that a committee had been appointed from the Federation of Pastors to co-0p- erate with the church music commit- tee of this organization in raising the standard of music in churches and Sunday schools. ‘Announcement was made that med. | als would be presented to the three winners in the hymn memory contest Friday evening at the Tuberculosis Hospital.
