This nat- urally includes well as Russian music. The salient characteristics of this music are contrasts between sadness and gayety; a direct, non-philosophic outlook with, in consequence, a direct emotional appeal. Hence, description is not essential, and it may suffice to state that the incidental music to “Khovanstchira” is by Moussorgsky, who is more and more acknowledged to have been the real genius of nine- teenth century Russian music.

Unless such | patronage is given, no art can con- | tinue to exist; it will inevitably die, | as, in the last analysis, a performance consists of two halves, each of which is equally important. Neither can do without the other—the playing and the listening parts. No performance is complete without a successful com= bination of these two. For the particular program on Thursday I have chosen music of different schools and trends. The |overture by Daniel Gregory Mason, with which the concert opens, is in the more classical Brahms tradition, while the second one is in the way of | and the work of a master of his craft. a continuation of this, with a moving | preted by the celebrated artists of |his vanity caused him to bring back : other instruments.

This famous work ! has also tried the ingenuity of other composers in their attemots to adapt it to the piano and the orchestra. | Schumann wrote a piano accompani- | ment for it, while Wilhelmj arranged | &n accompaniment for an entire or- chestra. Brahms made a piano version | for lef: hand alone, and Busont tran- | scribed it with rich and colorful effects. It remained for Segovia, however, to discover its practicability for the guitar. Bach, who wrote many extraor- | dinary works for the lute, seemed to have this instrument in mind when he composed the “Chaconne” in the key of D minor, which is the key most comfortable for a brilliant guitar technique. Consequently, there is no need of changing the violin version for use on the guitar, but the technical proficiency necessary to bring out the harmonic scheme can only be properly taken care of by an artist of supreme musical gifts. Since Segovia startled Europe and South America by the wizardy of his playing, many of the modern com- posers have hastened to try their hand at writing for his concert pro- grams. Turina, De Falla, Roussel, the Mexican composer, Ponce, Torroba and Tansman are a few who have dedicat- ed works to this artist, The modern musical world has grown so accustomed to the guitar as an_instrument for lighter music and mostly as accompaniment for singing that its romantic history and once prominent place in music has been entirely lost sight of. In its earlier form it was called the lute, and many are the references in the Bible to its use. David sang to the music of the lute, and before. him, Jubal, who is even credited with ifs inven- tion. At any rate, it was the prin- cipal instrument of sacred ceremonies or public celebrations, and its per- formers were accorded the greatest honors by the Hebrews and later the Egyptians. i Greece knew of the lute as early ! as 1000 B. C, and it was called by | them the “cithara,” which is the name used by the Greeks to this day. { it has become the habit to divide th the Roman life that the early Chris- tians preterred it for their religious ceremonies, for they were enjoined to “praise the Lord on the lute and the pseltery of 10 strings.” Chaucer and Shakespeare speak of it m their writings and it became one of the favorite court of Queen Elizabeth. A famed composer, Francesco Corbetti, a saraband for the guitar which caught the fancy of every one so that it was said that “the whole guitarey at court were trying at it God knows what a universal strumming there was.” A pupil of his, Robert de Vise, composed an “Allemande” which he inscribed, “Tombeau de Monsieur Corbetti” and which in its opening measures is reminiscent of . “Eroica” Symphony. The introduction of the guitar into Spain by the Moors started the vogue of guitar playing in that country among high and low. The greatest composer for the guitar of all time is a Spaniard, Ferdinand Sor, whose | “Prelude, Theme and Variation” will ! open Mr. Segovia's program. Although | the limitations of the guitar tone may | have been the cause of the few works | written expressly for it by the well be- loved masters of music, many of them, such as Boccherini, Paganini, Weber, Berlioz, Schubert and Gounod, sought the proper evolution of their melodies by means of the guitar, while the mod- ernists, Ravel, Stravinsky, Laparra and | several others have contributed con- siderably to its literature. Mr. Segovia’s recital will round out the musical season in unique fashion. Singers, violinists, pianists and cellists there have been in large measure, and musical literature of the world be- | tween these different divisions of the musical art. Other instruments are seldom heard, perhaps because the in- | terest in them is so slight and oppor- | tunities to be heard so rare that mu- | baving a musical program at its| SYmPIon! sicians feel the time given to per- fecting themselves to an artist's statue is time lost. From the enthusiastic accounts that follow every Segovia re- | cital, one can expect the reward of hearing a superb master in both the technical and interpretative sense as well as the occasion to enjoy a revela- tion of the musical capability of that modest but romantic instrument, the guitar, In Local Music Circles IVE members of the Washington | Composers' Club will be rep- | resented in the concert to be | given Tuesday night at 8:30 o'clock in the Navy Yard sail | loft by the United States Navy Sym- | phony Orchestra, under the direction of Lieut.

It is Smetana’s major orches- tral work and the one by which he will live. “Two Slavonic Dances” Dvorak AMONG Smetana’s disciples in his faith in and delight in folk music was Dvorak. The two Slavonic dances by the composer of the “New World Symphony” which we will play today are contrasting in mood—one melancholy and nostalgic, the other one exuberant and with an ever-in- | creasing exhileration. | “Concerto in D Major for Violin and Orchestra” ......

The first moveraent, ir a way, is the most im- portant, but the second has such a direct and fine appeal that it cer- tainly is not less fine. The scherzo, full of cross-rhythms, seven-four, and with a typical “blues” part in the trio, makes for contrast, while the final movement, full of snap and “go,” brings it to a resplendent and logical close. The other works speak largely for themselves. More American than any other composer, to my mind, is Roy Harris. I could not imagine any one but an American writing this particu= |lar kind of music, which reminds one |of stretches of prairie land, of the vastness of this country, of the pioneer spirit. His is a most convincing mes- sage. “Joe Clark Steps Out,” by Vardell, represents the spirit of the South. I quote herewith the composer's own lanation: | “This composition is based on the well known folk tune, “Old Joe Clark.” This tune has a number of varjants The one I have chosen was heard by me during my childhood in Robeson County, N.
