EARLY SUMMER MUSICAL AFFAIRS IN WASHINGTON Radio Holds Great Power For a Musical Education With Programs of Finer Music, Those Who Listen Would Soon Learn Value of Such Compositions. Wireless Can Lead Way. L By Alice Eversman. T HE improvement in the type of radio programs broadcast, the opportunity to hear master symphonic works and cele- brated artists, has been welcomed this year by every radio fan. More and more is the radio becoming the means of & greater musical culture, although its touched on as yet. Every seriously incl bilities have but been ed individual, and espe- cmm of educational bent, realizes that here is a medium of re: to the last corner of the tion, particularly valuable as far The broadcasting companies have ceded to the desire for good musical programs, supplying an increasing number of these to please the musi- cal erudite, even planning with the aim of giving the type of music of assistance in augmenting, through finer appreciation and understanding, the concert audiences. But it is not to those, sufficiently interested in music to wish to know all about it, | that radio can be of assistance, but rather to those who know little about serious music, vet love the sound enough to make them dial musical programs. The real and subtle duty of | the radio is to lead the way to a thorough knowledge of music and the works of the great masters. At the present moment the question is not so much what kind of musi- eal programs are being broadcast, but“ rather, how does the public listen to these programs. A year ago this statement was made in the World- Radio of London: “Taking broadcast- ing the world over, it would seem that where the opinions of listeners can be ascertained, the taings they ask of | broadcasting are that it should make them forget the worries of the world country with instructive informa- as music is concerned. in the hearts of every one. At pres- ent, thythm and melody are blinding a great part of the world to other valuable elements in music. They have not allowed themselves the ex- perience of listening enough to the music that can weave unforgettable pictures into the pattern formed of rhythm and melody. The radio can reach those beyond the influence of educational units. =3 So much has been written regarding the personality of the composers, and 50 many clear analyses of their com- | | difficult to equip oneself with some slight knowledge before a program is joyment of it.

The thinking men of all departments of the world’s endeavor agree that in good music there is re- freshment and inspiration. Gordon Craig spoke some bold words when he said: “I am no prophet, but had I the prophesying gift I think I would risk a safe word about music. I I would say that if you can bring music into the streets, into the court rooms, into museums, into railway stations, into every place where crowds go and pass, you again and again their childish minds.

Alart, mu- sical conductor. The newly formed chorus is to serve as a background for a quartet of solo voices and to work in conjunc- | tion with the Civic Symphony Or- chestra. Mr, Alart states that about 13 vocalists, ranging from 18 to 25 years: in age, are needed. Sopranos, contraltos, tenors, baritones and basses should report to Central High School next Tuesday at 7:30 for au- ditions.

WEEK OF JUNE 16 Sunday | shelves to those of the Public Li- persons are turning to the music division for compositions, and several small orchestras have been formed because the leaders and players have discovered that they can borrow scores from the Public Library. In other instances small orchestras faced with dissolution have been enabled to con- tinue through the use of Library music. This demand has made it im- perative that the Library enlarge its collection, particularly in the fleld of chamber music, and in modern com- | positions. The Library itself lacks funds with which to purchase music, but the Library of Congress has transferrsd 1525 items from its brary. Of these 344 are bound volumes containing hundreds of com- Tuesday In Local Music Studios HE Von Unschuld University of Music will hold its commence- ment recital and conferring of degrees on Saturday at 8:15 in the Pierce Hall, Har- vard and Pifteenth streets.
