William F. Santelmann. Mme. Sayao, who has a special place in the esteem of concertgoers in this country since she first was presented at the Pan-American ‘Union, has an infallible charm for music lovers and music specialists in the easy, unaffected manner in which she sings. The apparent sim- plicity of her performance is a veneer covering a fine artistic feel- ing that directs not only her inter- pretation of a song but her voice production as well. The result is By ALICE EVERSMAN. Bidu Sayao, the lovely Metropolitan Opera artist from Brazil, brought a festive note to the concert in honor of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Pan-American Union held last evening in the Hall of Her beautiful birdlike voice was heard in two arias and & group of songs by Latin American composers so artistically sung that the audience was aroused to the greatest enthusiasm. The concert was further notable for the first per-«- unadulterated pleasure for her listeners in the pure, even tones that at times are brilliant and again warmly expressive, the spar- kling floritura which is her forte and the unforced clarity of her high notes. These very special features of her art were beautifully demon- strated in the “Variations on a ‘Theme of Mozart” by A. Adam, her first offering, where the delicacy and fineness of her presentation was of a superior character. Fol- lowing this came the aria “Come serenamente” from the opera “Lo Schiavo” by her famous compatriot, A. Carlos Gomez, which is one of the most exquisite bits of operatic writing. Her second appearance was in a group of songs by com- posers of Argentina and Brazil, an D. C, WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1940. unusually fine collection for their musical value. These included “Can- cion del Carretero,” Buchardo; “Ofrenda,” and “Caballito Criollo,” Ugarte, both of Argentina; “Prece” and “Presente de Natal” by Pinto, “Viola Quebrada” by Villa Lobos and “Serenata” by Costa, all three Brazilian composers. At the end she ' added two others, Wintter Watts’ “The Little Shepherd’s Song” and Ponce’s “Estrellita.” The arias were sung with orchestral ac- companiment, while Milne Charnley was at the piano for the songs. Mr. Guzman, member of the Ma- rine Band Orchestra and well known for his orchestral arrangements often played on the programs at the union, has written with real inspira- tion in his “Festival Overture.” Far from the usual overcrowded, over- emphasized style of many works composed for a special occasion, it has depth and poetic content with a proper amount of dramatic contrast. The manner in which Mr. Guzman has maintained the balance between these elements is skillful, while his melodic themes are of noble quality employing a fine blending of the strings with the woodwinds. The overture has strength and fluency from the first declamation of the brass in the opening meas- ures to its brilliant finale. While prominence is given the strings the other orchestral voices are brought out with an effect that gives sn | individual color to the whole. It is | a work that will bear hearing often and such must have been the audi- ence’s judgment for the prolonged applause brought the composer sev- eral times to his feet in acknowl- edgment. Among the numbers played by the Marine Band Orchestra, the most important was the “Sinfonia” by Nepomuceno, the great Brazilian na- tionalist. Using as a basis the folk- lore of his country, the composer has woven it together, in the “Sinfonia,” with sound musical feeiing to form a work of major statue. The re- mainder of the orchestral program included the dance from De Rogatis’ opera “Huemac,” the symphonic poem “La Voz Delas Calles” by Allende of Chile, and the overture “La Isla de los Ceibos” by Fabini of Uruguay. Red Team Luncheon The Red Team of the Kenilworth Ladies Guild will hold a covered dish luncheon tomorrow at noon at the home of Mrs. Sam Green, 4426 Ord street NE.
