v NOTABLE PRO Visiting Mexican Group To Give Typical Music Mercado’s Tipica Orchestra to Offer Con- cert at Willard—Colorful Picture Made by Popular Organization. By Alice Eversman. AST Winter an orchestral group w music which they gave. On L Hotel ball room under the management ith soloists came from romantic Mexico and took the city by storm in the several public performances of native January 28 another colorful group, Mercado’s Tipica Mexican Orchestra, will give a concert in the Willard of Beren-Brook Artists’ Bureau. This group of artists, “typical” of the country, as the name suggests, will bring with them instruments unknown tfo theds general musical public and dancers who will present native dances of different sections of the country. The musical program will feature the melo- dies and rhythms of Latin American countries in a manner impossible for a Northerner to imitate. | The picture which these interesting | musicians will present is colorful and | highly interesting. The members of | the orchestra will wear the costume of the charro, which is the Mexican cowboy, whose life and duties follow that of the gaucho of the Argentine | and our own corresponding Western eharacter. The typical charro cos- | tume, more elaborate and individual than any other national dress, is the one with which the picturesque life of Mexico is instantly associated, al- though it, like most native costumes, s rapidly giving way before modern | exigencies. Yet it represents history | itself, for the early Spanish influence 1s tracable in the gorgeously embroid- ered jacket or bolero, while the many- colored serape, or scarf, is a reminder of the native Indian and his blanket, which was later adopted by the Mexi- can peon. Tl-m most outsianding feature of the costume is the sombrero, by | which the social status of the wearer | is recognized. Weighing occasionally more than 30 pounds, and from 12 to 18 inches tall, these sombreros are made of very heavy felt, in black, tan or gray, and gorgeously embroidered in colored silk or gold and silver thread. Sometimes the hats cost as much as $500 and according to the size and decorations an estimate of the wealth of the owner can be made. The knee trousers of the early| Spanish official court dress hg\e been | lengthened as protection against the brush of the plains of the new coun- try, but the brightly hued sash is still retained. Completed by the bril- | liantly colored serape, thrown care- | lessly over the shoulder and belying | its practicability as poncho and blan- ket, the costume is one of the most | picturesque to be found today. | But thoroughly native in inception and colors is the dress of the senor- itas, which combine the colors of the | national flag, red, white and green. | Known as “China Poblano,” the cos- | tume was named from the fourth The vitality of spirit and the ani- mation of these gifted people are uniquely represented in their music by native instruments. An echo of the ancient days when King David sang his sacred songs is the salterio, a zitherlike instrument of great sweetness of tone. A difficult instru- ment to play, with its 100 strings and complicated scales, it has under- gone little change in the passing cen- turies. The humble pumpkin has been turned into an instrument of art in primitive fashion in the making of el quiro. Several feet long, as is the growing power of the Mexican pump- kin, it is dried and carved with grooves along its surface. A pencil- sized weed stick is rubbed on the grooves with thrilling and rhythmic effect. S RHYTHM pulses with force in the veins of every Latin Ameri- can, it is but natural that percussion instruments abound in this group which represents the music of its | native country. Utilizing what nature has given them, the Mexicans have fashioned their own mediums of mu- sical expression, among which is the toponaztli, used for the marking of rhythm. Made of wood, of the size and appearance of a watermelon, it is hollowed out with two long, narrow openings at the top and another across. It is played with two sticks, producing a strange and dramatic effect. Senor Angell J. Mercado, the leader of the orchestra, is an accomplished violinist. He began his musical studies at the Music Academy of Puebla, and first visited the United States in 1910, as conductor of a hundred Mexican musicians. Finding the group too large for foreign touring, he gave up his original intentions of visiting nearby countries and returned home to organize a smaller and more easily handled group. The Mexican gov- | ernment, becoming interested in the artistic work of the orchestra, se- | lected it for broadcasting weekly over the Nation-wide hook-up of the N.B.C. as a means of establishing a friendly understanding and feeling toward Mexico. Senor Mercado has divided bhis pro- | gram so as comprehensively to include Jargest city of Mexico, Puebla de los Angeles. An interesting legend as to the origin of the name relates that the Indians, unable to raise the large bells of the cathedral in the ancient city, founded by the Spaniards in 1531, were assisted by angels in lift- ing the heavy burden and in recogni tion the city was called the “city of | the angels.” The women’s costume consists of a white, short-sleeved blouse profusely embroidered in red and green. | Around the top and bottom of the full skirt runs a band of red, while multiple gold spangles are sewed closely together between the hn"“'i Hair parted in the middle and worn | in two long braids on either side of the face, tied with red ribbon, and a large red ribbon on top of the head in place of a hat, large earrings and green or red shoes complete the cos- tume. all types of Latin American music | under the titles, “Light Mixed | Music,” “Concert Music” and “Re- | gional Music.” Renowned singers, & | saltarist and two dancers will add | color to the program. Luis and Jose- | ina Ojeda have created striking i- | dances from native themes, full of brilliancy and fire, which have won them unqualified success in their | artistic career. Coming closer in touch with the heart of a people through the finest | expression of national feeling, as ex- emplified in music and the dance, is an enriching experience necessary at all times to humanize one’s outlook. A visit from this natural, vivid and temperamentally artistic group will be a lesson as to how music, to be im- mortal, should be allowed to spring spontaneously into being through the people of a nation and their every- day life. < SHINGTO.

Guitarist to Appear at Wardman Park | Next Month. LENA DE SAYN, director of Con- | certs Intimes, announces that the date and place of Andreas Segovia's eoncert has been changed and it will | take place on Thursday, February 25, ot 8:45 pm, at the Wardman Park | Theater. The concert was originaily scheduled for Wednesday, February 3, at the Willard Hotel. The change of date was decided | upon in order to allow Mr. Segovia to| accept additional engagements in Mas- sachusetts, following his concert in | Boston on January 31, which will open his American tour. Several requests have been received by the management for special num- bers in connection with the famous guitarist's program in Washington, among them a request for Bach’s mas- terplece, “Chaconne,” in the inter- pretation of which he is unequaled. ‘The “Chaconne,” originally written for the violin and included in the reper- toire of every concertizing violinist, is considered to be most difficult, not only technically, but also from the in- | terpretative point of view. Two sea- sons ago, when Segovia made his debut in this city, he amazed his audience by the unusual rendition of this com- position, which gained in beauty and eloquence in his hands, Tickets purchased for the date of February 3 are valid for the 25th, and sre available at Talbert Agency, Wil- lard Hotel, Sophocles Papas, 1508 Nineteenth street northwest and the Mayflower Hotel. Roosevelt Hotel Concert. 'HE musicale to be held tomorrow 14" evening at the Roosevelt Rotel will be given by John Alden Pinckel, celiist, end Alice Finckel, pianist, who will give a joint recital. Mr. Finckel was born in Washing- ton and comes of a musical family, his father and mother being profes- sional musicians. Having studied un- der noted masters, he is recognized as CHORAL SOCIETY IN BRAHMS’ WORK JOHANN!S BRAHMS’' magnificent “Requiem,” often called the “Ger- man Requiem,¥ will be sung by the Washington Choral Society, conducted by Louis Potter and accompanied by members of the National Symphony Orchestra, in the Great Choir of the Washington ~ Cathedral Thursday night, January 28, at 8:30 o'clock, the | service of music being offered in mem- ory of King George V of England up- on the occasion of the first anniver- sary of his burial. The British Am- | bassador and members of the staff of | the embassy, as well as distinguished | representatives of many other for- eign embassies, will be present. This “Requiem” was composed by Brahms in memory of his great mas- ter, Schumann, and before it was finished, the death of his own mother caused him to add certain portions, and to place it in memory of his mother also. The “Requiem,” which is a choral symphony, will be sung by more than 100 Washington singers in choral groups and choirs, augmented for this rendition by many other singers in Washington who have been form- erly associated with large choral so- cieties in other music oenters in America and Canada. Robert Barrow, organist and choir- master at Washington Cathedral, will accompany the singers at the organ; with the symphony orchestra men making & complete symphony or- chestra of 30 players. There will be two soloists, Ruby Potter, soprano, and Edwin Steffe, Metropolitan Soloists On Townsend Program Fourth Monday Morning Musicale to Be Given by Helen Jepson and Ezie Pinza in the Mayflower Series. HE soloists at Mrs. Lawrence Townsend’s fourth Monday morning mu- sicale at the Mayflower Hotel will be Helen Jepson, soprano, and Ezio Pinza, both of the Metropolitan Opera. Miss Jepson has been heard here several times before making her local debut on this series, but for Mr. Pinza it is his first appearance in this city. The program, which will fea- ture several arias and songs, will cenclude with the duet: “La ci Darem la Mano, vanni,” the opera which made Binza’s fame. Mr. Pinza, born in Rome, gave up 2 career as civil engineer to study sing- ing with Maestro Vizzani in Bologna. Of that period of his life, Mr. Pinza says: “I was ready for my debut when the war broke out. But that changed every plan again. I joined the Italian artillery and kept my voice on ice for four years—four years of war in the Italian Alps, where the lowest altitude 1 got down to was 6,000 feet above sea level.” ¢ ¢ At the conclusion of the war Mr. Pinza made his delayed debut at the Teatro dell’ Opera, Rome, in “Tristan and Isolde,” singing later in Turin and Naples. For three years he was lead- 1ing basso at La Scala under Toscaninl, where Gatti-Casazza hesrd him and engaged him for the 1936 aeason of the Metropolitan, of which he has haritone. been & member ever since. - 2 Concetts by Boys’ Band.

The gen- | | eral title of the series this season is | the “Origing and Growth of Music.” Dr. Kindler has divided this general subject into foul “Values in Music,” “Moods in Music” Music.” | The first concert, which will be re- | peafed January 22 in Eastern High| | School and Japuary 37 in Central| High, will be arranged from “The Music of Central European’ Coun- | tries,” and in it Dr. Kindler will in- | clude a Bach “Choral” “Saraband” | by Handel, “Minuet” from “Don Gio- vanni® by Mozart, variation from Haydn's “Symphony in G,” Beetho- | ven's “Coriolanus” overture, dances and s group of folk tunes, and “Songs | My Mother Taught Me” by Dvorak | and “Dance of the Comedians” by | | Smetana. | In concerts to follow Dr. Kindler will consider “The Music of Latin Countries,” “The Music of Northern European Countries,” and finally in # festive concert i Constitution Hall, March 20, “The Music of Anglo- Saxon Countries.” Dr. E. N. C. Barnes, director of public school music in Washington, and his staff of music teachers have enthusiastically helped in plans for this year's series, and' as a result the steady growth in popularity of this tivity is expected to be reflected onoce more. Private and parochial schools are also giving their co-operation, and will send’ classes of pupils to the stu- dent concerts. These conterts hive been included in the National Symphony's season ever gince the organization was formed in 1931. Giving Washington students the opportunity to become acquainted with the world’s great music by listening to thrilling con- certs played by their own National Symphony Orchestra and conducted and explained by Hans Kindler him- self, students’ programs were imme- diately halled and have been popular ever since. Each year has found more eager listeners, old and young, at these special presentations. There were more than 4,000 at the festival con- cert Dr. Kindler and the orchestra gave in Constitution Hall last Spring. Tickets for the student concerts may be obtained through teachers at various schools, or at the orchestra’s box office in the Julius Garfinckel & Co. Store. All conceris are at 3:30 pm.

By Hans Kindler. ‘The symphony program Thursday will be as follows: Overture, “Mon Ami Plerrot”. -8. L. M. Barlow “Variations on a Theme of Tchaikovsky' “Dances of Galanta™ “Goncerto in D Major” for violin and ¢ (Joseph I has in several cases served as well, where young composers could try orchestra.. Szigeti,) HE problem of the American composer is getting to be easier than it has been for a long time. Many conductors are cognizant of their obli~ gations in respect to his activity. The music division of the W. P. A. a laboratory and a clearing house as out, their early works and either “make good” with them or listen to and realize their inadequacies. Among thie recent works which have made a decided! sion belongs the overturé which we are going to play as an introduction for a one-act < opera, with a libretto by Sacha Guitry, the well known French actor- playwright. The story deals with the composer, Lulli, and his arrival in Paris during the reign of Louis XIV, and specifically with the incident which led to the composition of the by now familiar children’s song, “Au Clair de la Lune.” It was given its first performance at the Opera Comique in Paris in 1935, and was the first opera by an American ever to be performed at a National Theatre in Paris, and therefore & high and very unusual distinction to be bestowed ‘upon a young American. THE Arensky “Variations” is another | of those works by an artist who, although not one of the greatest com- posers, nevertheless is a master who should not be allowed to sink into un- deserved neglect. This y favorable impres~ today, It was written Mr. Szigeti, Hungary's greatest violin | master, who in the second half will | play the mightiest work in the violin | and orchestra literature, namely, the | Brahms “Concerto.” 'HIS work is acknowledged to be among the three greatest works ‘ot its kind, and by many is con- sidered as the very greatest. No other work in that particular category has & more untiring appeal, and the more it is studied, the more manifest be- come its many brilliant aspects and facets. It is romantic and classic al the same time, superbly made, with themes of enchanting loveliness and others of irresistible power and strength. Its slow movement can stand with any one of Mozart's, Bach's or Bee- thoven's, and, what is more, the particular | Finale, where even the greatest com- work is written for strings only, and | posers occasionally lack in inspira= with such intimate knowledge of the string idiom per se that it becomes a model of its kind in the use of dif- ferent color within a comparatively restricted medium. The theme js from a Tchaikovsky song called “The Christ Child Once & Garden Made,” and was dedicated to the memory of Tchaikovsky. ‘The Galanta dances by Kodaly are among the very latest productions of Europe, having been writien in 1935 for the 80th birthday anniversary of | the Philharmonic Orchestra of Buda- pest. They also are written for a more normal orchestra than we are, | in the present day, accustomed to, | even omitting trombones. But here also the virtuosity of the composer is such as to astonish one with the bril- liance of the tonal color scheme. The work is & modern composer's treat- ment of typically Hungarian tunes (Galanta is a small town in the north- western part of Hungary in what is now Czechoslovakia). These melodies have all the melancholy, passion, in- tensity, sudden dash and exuberance we connect with Hungarian music in general, and they lead eventually to a climax of quite irresistible bril- | liance and virtuosity. I chose the work partly because of the appearance on this program of | tion, often creating the inevitable impression of labor rather than eof a natural continuation, holds its own with the other two. It is unnecessary to go into techni- | cal details about the concerto. Suf- |fice it to say that, as always with | Brahms, the work, although emi- { nently written for the soloist, is more like a symphony than a concerto, in that the orchestral part is of equal, if not greater, importance than that of the soloist, the first movement (except of course for the introduc= tion of a cadenza) being quite akin in form to that of the normal sym- phony. The slow movement is heave |enly song from beginning to end, starting quietly with a lovely and long drawn-out melody for the oboe, followed by the violin solo in ever increasing intensity and passion, and eventually returning to its initial mood. Whereas the last movement has a typically Hungarian dance | character such as Brahms loved and knew how to use to advantage in many of his great works I repeat that the concerto wiil serve to introduce in Mr. Szigeti one of the most distinguished of present- day masters of the violin, whom T feel honored to be able to present to our public.
