Beckett Gibbs of the Juilliard School of Music, New York, | in St. Mary’s Church Hall, on Fifth street northwest. This was one of a series of lectures on musical subjects presented under | the auspices of the Archdiocesan Com- | mission of Music of the Roman Cath- olic Church. Some examples cf lead- | ing compositions written in polyphonic | style by such masters as Arcadelt, Pal- | estrina and Vittoria were presented by | St. Augustine’s colored choir, under the | direction of H. T. Hall. The choir sang | well, with true intonation in most part and in very good style. At the lec- turer's request the Palestrina “Kyrie” | was repeated as the finale to the pro- | Dr. Gibbs opened his talk with a quo- tation from Richard Wagner, described by the lecturer as a “non-Catholic"—in fact, the speaker commented several times during the evening at the under- standing and eppreciation of Roman etholic Church music, especially of the polyphonic &pe, by “non-Catholics.” ‘The great writer of music dramas, Wag- ner, was quoted as saying with other things, “If sacred music is ever to b2 red to the state of purity it for- held, it must usurp the place now hold by instruments in church music.” Dr. Gibbs touched upon the fact that in the famous Sistine Chapel there is no large organ, and that even the Vati- can has no magnificent “king of instru- ments,” the vocal music alone being used without accompaniment. ‘The speaker touched upon harmony as being the good manners of music and suggested that when the form, the| $3.50 Philadelphia $3.25 Chester $3.00 Wilmington AND RETURN SUNDAY March 25 Special Train ngion (Union Statien), 7:30 imington. 10:05 ‘am. 10 sm.: Philadelphia, Street. 10:50 am mington, Pennsylvania Railroad 7 rlr’hysici;;s-fivii; Hemo-Liver for Thin-Blogded Folks ly Discovered ent or Red Blood- Vitamines Ex- n Beef Liver.

He also mentioned the great uses to which Johann Sebastian Bach, a Lutheran Christian, put the polyphonic inspirations of Palestrina in shaping his stupendous “B Minor Mass.” | Dr. Gibbs assured his hearers that if they ever get to heaven, they will hear undoubtedly, music such as Palestrina wrote, so they might as well get well acquainted with it here. . He then launched into brief surface discussion of the actual characteristics of polyphony; that is, the fact that each voice in a cholr, sopranos, altos, tenors, ones, basses, possesses a distinct ody for that voice to carry in coun- terpointal effect against all the other voices. Hence the absolute necessity in | having each group of voices thoroughly coached and trained in their own part before practice rehearsals of all parts together can be satisfactorily held. It was an entertaining and helpful lecture. H A BRAHMS PROGRAM. Elena de Sayn, violinist; Margaret Day, cellist; Armand Paquay, French horn player, and Malton Boyce, pianist, presented an unusually pleasing after- noon of chamber music written by the great Johannes Brahms in the Du Barry room of the Draper Building | vesterday afternoon. his was the second in the series of | three programs of chamber music to be presented under the auspices of the De Sayn String Quartet, beginning with special homage to Franz Schubert™ in the opening program last week and ending next Monday with a program of works by the living composer, best | known as probably the greatest violin- | ist of today, Fritz Kreisler. A feature | of the Kreisler program will be the| playing of the “musical supplement” to | his' narrative “Four Weeks in the Trenches.” | A large audience proved most en-| thusiastic over the program of Brahms | works. “Trio in E Flat for Violin, Horn | and Piano” opened the program, and proved a delightful number that is rarely, if ever, played in Washington. | The lively scherzo and charming nl-\ legro con brio movements were especial- ARTCRAET XIXG.

Mr. Boyce was at his best in the two delicate little Brahms waltzes, the very popular one in A flat and the shorter but equally delightful one in B flat, which latter he repeated as encore. ‘The last selection was the famous “Double Concerto for Violin and Violon- cello,” this time, of course with piano sccompaniment by Mr. Boyce. Probably the last public performance of this work in Washington was that given Decem- ber 9, 1924, when Paul Kochanski, vio- linist, and Felix Salmond, ‘cellist, play- ed it here with the New York Sym- phony Orchestra under Walter Dam- rosch. The almost parlando opening passages for the violoncello and, later, the violin, gradually are merged into a lovely pattern that builds contsantly and consistently toward a beautiful climax in the finale. The three musi- cians yesterday co-operated very well in giving’ an interpretation of '.hl;x w;rk. SCHUBERT BY CANDLELIGHT. A lovely bit of costume recital was enjoyed by a “packed house” in the parish house of the Georgetown Presby- terian Church last night. It was pre- sented by Dorothy Neff Tyler, séprano; Evelyn Scott, violinist, and Kathryn Hill Rawls, planist. Charlotte Harriman, contralto, was originally listed as the singer for the evening and she has been heard here previously this season sing- :nlgl Schubert songs unusually beauti- ully. Miss Harriman, however, was suffer- ing from ear trouble that also affected her throat and so could not appear. Mrs. Tyler, who has a light, clear so- prano quality and excellent enunciation, sang two groups, songs of old London, including “Buy My Strawberries,” “Down Vauxhall Way” and “The Nightingales of Lincoln’s Inn,” a Spring song, and later such well known concert numbers as “Se tu M'Ami,” “Sylvia” (Speaks, mnot Schubert), “Exaudet’s Minuet,” “My Lover Is a Fisherman,” “Passing By” and “Come to the Fair.” Miss Scott, looking especially charm- ing In a quaint pink frock and some in- triguing curls, gave her program as specified, winning special appreciation with Elman's arrangement of Schu-+ bert’s cradle song, “Reigen,” as ar- ranged by Burmeister, and Bohm's “Per- petual Motion.” Mrs. Rawls was a particularly sympa- thetic and talented accompanist and looked charming in a yellow gown of old style.
