" MUSIC BY HELEN FETTER. OCAL. ‘'musical affairs are as- suming a livelier aspect al- ready, although it will be the end of the month before the studios all will be reotpened and everybody back ready for the new season, 1929-30. The four leading musical educational institutions are open- ing their doors tomorrow and all have new and increased advan- tages to offer to eager students. Guest teachers are announced by two of them, innovations in un- usual classes are particularly fea- tured at still another school, and several scholarships are an- nounced at the fourth institution. Private teachers’ studios and the yarious musical clubs will begin the season. in October, although preliminary announcements al- ready are forthcoming. WA ‘HE Fall festival of chamber music is to be held at the Li- brary of Congress October 7, 8 and 9. This is a unique invitation series sponsored by the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Foundation. To these concerts critics, distinguish- ed musicians and other musical authorities come by invitation of Mrs. Coolidge from all over this country and even Europe. The national aspect of these events is being particularly stressed. The uests come to hear the best ef- orts of old and new composers presented by internationally fa- mous interpreters on these occa- sions. Every endeavor is made to create truly representative pro- rams of musical significance for hese events. * %k % ¥ ‘HE professional concert open- in% of the season 1929-30 has been listed as a’gala performance featuring American artists__to open the mew Constitution Hall of the D. A. R. Building Novem- ber 2 under the management of Mrs. Wilson-Greene, who has just returned from Europe and seems to have recuperated from her se- vere accident which occurred last Spring. b T. Arthur Smith, who is achiev- ing the designation of the orches- tra concert manager of Washing- ton, as he is bringing all but one orchestra in the listed organiza- tions of that type for the Nation- al Capital this year, opens his sea- son with the first of four con- certs to be given by the Phila- delphia Symphony Orchestra, Leopold Stokowski conducting, also in the new Constitution Hall, November 5. This will be the first orchestral program in the new hall. Mr. Smith’s bureau also an- nounces that the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, under Hen- ri Verbrugghen, will appear in Washington February 13. Three concerts will be presented by the New York Philharmonic Sym- phony Orchestra. * X X X STILL another month will pass before Mrs. Lawrence Town- send presents the initial of her established series of morning pro- grams at the Mayflower Hotel. She announces her first date as Wednesday, December 4. ~Her other dates,-also Wednesdays, will be December 11 and 18, January 8, 15, 22 and 29, and February 5. Mrs. Townsend is not yet an- nouncing her artists, but it is un- derstood that a = world-famous baritone and an American so- prano are to present the opening rogram. Several new artists ave been added to her list, fol- Jowing Mrs. Townsend’s trip abroad earlier in the Summer. There also will be the favorites of earlier seasons. * k X X «PEGGY” ALBION was in Wash- ington recently on a flying trip from North Carolina, where the Albions have been all Sum- mer, while the baritone voice of Edouard Albion rang forth in re- citals at various halls in that State. Mrs. Alpion reports that the series of recitals has been highly successful and already there are bookings that will car- ry the family to Florida for en- gagements in the Winter. Mr. Albion, known in Washington more particularly in the capacity of impresario of the Wnshlng&o‘ Opera_Co., is to appear in formal recital here early in December, the exact date to be announced later. * Kk ok X ERATICALLY speaking, the coming season holds announce- ments to the effect that the American ‘Opera Co. is to present some performances here in Janu- ary, the German Grand Opera Co. is to give several operas in March, and although no definite dates are set it is understood that the Metropolitan Opera Co. is to have several performances here when en route South, following the close of the New York house in the late Spring. P EI.SEWHERE on the page men- tion is made that Sophie Braslau, the American contralto, is to sing the title role in “Car- men” when it is given early in the season in Philadelphia by the Clitvh: Grand Opera Co. of that city. This brings to mind a comment made in the New Music Review in a late Summer issue to the ef- fect that “Carmen” has been per- formed in a novel manner at Shanghai. As the Chinese public is ignorant of bull-ring manners and toreadors, Carmen was rep- resented as a laundress, Don Jose as a peddler and Escamillo as a sword-swallower who kills himself in the last act by swallowing his sword. One is left to wonder what in the world happened to poor little Michaela in this version. The Russians eliminated her, making a mammy song of her music in their famous Art Theater “Car- mencita and the Soldier.” It looks from the above report as though she wasn’t even a gesture in Shanghai. * kK X 'ANOTHER “Carmen” tradition is slain in an article published in another magazine recenflzl A writer holds forth, apparen ly with authority, on the sub- ject, of the rumor which has per- sisted to the effect that the pre- miere of this opera was a failure. D. C. Parker in Musical America ints out that: P ‘Carm ouen’ did not fail when it uced at the Opera Co- far was it from being a failure that it registered 37 perform- ances, a record not attained by operatic failures. * * * Precisely one week after the premiere, Ca- mille du Locle, director of the Opera Comigque, is reported to have approached Bizet with a view to finding out whether he would be willing to compose music for an- other libretto to be supplied by Meilhac and Halevy, who had been responsible for the text of the work just presented.” It would be interestingsto know the .reactions of these librettists, if they are still living, to the Shanghai idea of making a laun- dress out of a hard-fighting ciga- rette factory girl. What they did with the card scene no one knows, but perhaps Carmen foretold her fate in the soap bubbles of the steaming laundry tub. Perhaps the sword - swallowing villain killed her by drowning her in the same tub. This would at least eliminate seeing the same eight sham toreadors from the chorus trot around and around trying to look several times their number in the final grand scene. * K K X ANUEL DE FALLA, an out- standing Spanish composer, is the subject of a sketch in the Au- gust issue of The Alhambra, Washingtonians are familiar with a number of his compositions, chiefly through their performance by artists brought in Mrs. Town- send’s morning programs. Paul Kochanski, violinist, has arranged De Falla works for his instru- ment. Miss d’Aranyi last season played a Kreisler arrangement of “La Vide Breve:” Myra Hess has created a sensation playing the “Danse Rituelle du Feu,” from his opera, “El Amor Brujo.” Lucrezia Bori has sung some of his songs and Guiomar Novaes, Brazilian pi- anist, played his “Andaluza.” Or- chestra audiences have had a cou- ple of hearings of his famous “El Sombrero de Tres Picos,” which could well stand more frequent repetitions. In the recent article about De Fallta. Gabriel G. Maroto says, in part: . “He is slight of body, engrossed in himself, with large, expressive eyes—dreamy, melancholy, kind. He is past 50. Sometimes, when his voice, always flexible in qual- ity, is expressing a subject that he feels intensely, he becomes a stammering child, eredulous, tim- id, desirous of knowing that most roseate dreams are truths. * * * Sorrowful, enthusiastic, ardent— his frail body excites him, re- strains him, often prostrates him in painful lethargies. But a pleasant morning of Andalusian sunlight, of intensified sonority, of gentle, fragrant breezes, brings his enthusiasm to life again, and once more immerses him in his initiated work. “In this mortal world he feels that he is his own ghost, which lingers upon the face of the earth only to bring to completion—the supreme duty of essential co-op- eration—his perfected work. His friends have been well aware of this, and with a tenderness not without a touch of Andalusian hu- mor have presented the musician with a pottery vase that bears the legend: ‘I am the palpable ghost of Don Manuel de Falla y Mateu.’ “The great musician lives mod- estly, with the modesty of a gen- tleman. In the Alnambra at Gra- nada, lost in a pleasant corner overlooking the Vega, stands his house, his unpretentious dwelling that is always as white as snow. Manuel de Falla’s house has a lit- tle garden, divided into two parts. connected by a pine stile. The garden has its little flower pots and a tiny stream of water. Be- low it, the city; in the distance, the Vega, used for irrigation; in the background, capped by clouds, the Sierra Nevada reflects the sunlight, breaking its passion- atle violence into a gentle, delicate rain. “The musician goes out every day, quite early, from his secluded dwelling. He hears mass devoted- ly in the church of San Cecilio, and returns home, crossing the umbrageous gardens of the Al- hambra with slow steps. In the morning, in the gardens of Gra- nada, on successive -days of ab- sorbed observation and vivid emo- tions. the musician has ‘collected the rhythms of Andaluzia.” Oscar Seagle to Come To King-Smith School UGUST KING- , head of the King-Smith Studio School, 1751 New Hampshire avenue northwest, an: nounces that Oscar Seagle, noted con- cert artist and exponent of the De Reszke-Seagle method of instruction in voice, is to come to his school once & month as a guest instructor. Mr. Seagle's first date will be some time in October, to be announced later. It will be &lreczded by an invitation concert recit to be given by Mr. Seagle at the school. Mr. King-Smith was himself a stu- dent under Oscar Seagle and an asso- in Baltimore, classes weekl!

New Instructors Are Added|Guest Faculty Members For College of Music "T'HE Washington College of Musié will open its twenty-sixth year tomorrow in its new home at 2107-9 8 street, just west of Connecticut avenue. From a small beginning a quarter of a century ago, it now beécome .one of the largest schools of music south of New York City, and is ding its policy and its faculty as well as its teaching and llving quarters for the coming seasol n. With Dr. Hugh Rowland Roberts, Nerson OerTEL- head of the vocal department, as presi- dent of the college, many of the former department heads remain for the en- larged work planned by the college, notably Weldon Carter, head of the piano department; Emanuel Zetlin, head of the violin department; Fanny Amstutz Roberts, dean, and head of the theory department; Mabel Duncan, Lewis Corning Atwater, Edwin N. Barnes and a score of other instructors. Two new faculty members will take their place in the college personnel be- ginning tomorrow, being notable addi- tions to the voice and piano depart- ments, respectively. The new voice teacher is Louise Walsworth, pupil of Oscar Seagle, and a graduate of the niversity School of Music, Ann Arbor, Mich., where she studied with Theodore Harrison, head of the voice department. Later Miss Walsworth continued her work with William Phillips in Chicago, a pupil of Oscar Seagle, before going to the Seagle Colony at Schroon Lake, New York, where she has spent the past two Summers under Mr. Seagle’s per- | yea sonal instruction. Louise Walsworth has taught at the. Lansing Conservatory of Mufic, and likewise for two yenrs at Meredith College, Raleigh, N. C.
