Chorus Members.
DR.. JOSEPH DUNN'S TALK

Irish folk songs, in Gaelic, in English
Lover, Yeats and other poets and ballad
lists of Ireland, many of them so ancient
that their origin is forgotten, and in
strumental music for the harp formed a
program of traditional Irish music for
the elaborate reinforcement given by
the Gaelic Society of Washington last
night in the New Willard Hotel.
The program was typical of nearly
every phase of Irish music, most OF
which was new to a Washington audi
ence. There were simple lullabies and
fairy songs, street ballads of wandering
singers and exquisite folk songs on a
variety of themes set to arrangements
by Beethoven, with piano, violin and
violoncello accompaniment: four-part
songs. A duo from Robert O'Dwyer $
opera tEithne' was heard for the first
time in Washington.
Fourteen Numbers in Program.
The program was long, consisting of
fourteen numbers, most of them in two
parts. There We're solos, duets, trios.
quartets and choruses. The chorus was
balanced and capable.
Miss Jennie D. Glennan, organist and
director of the choir of ST. Patrick's
Church, directed the singing, playing
many of the piano accompaniment. The
commentary of DIR. Joseph Dunn, profes.
sor of Gaelic at Catholic University, was
learned discourse upon the topic OF
Irish melody, past and present. Gener-
ally introducing the program of music
DR.. Dunn 1ectured between the numbers
throwing light on the origin of each song,
words and music.
