The repertoire presented by the
Barrere ensemble, which comes to the
armory Tuesday, May !, is very wide,
and consists OF both classic and modern
compositions. In the days before the
orchestra became the many.sded in
stitution il is today, composers wrote
much for such little wind ensembles,
and it is rich and varied literature
which has come down through the in
tervening years. In the molern day
il is mainly the French who have con
cerned themselves with this particular
phase of musical art, both as composers
and as virtuosi. Paramount among the
latter stands the name of George Bar
rere, for to him must belong beyond
peradventure of n doubt the supremacy,
Nor is it alone for the witchery of his
inimitable art that this distinguished
foreigner commands our attention. I'm
til quite aterly, that is, until Barrere
came to this country some 10 years ago,
the wind instruments one and all were
relegated to the orchestral ranks, they
were regarded as purely CCchestral in
From the first note that
Barero played, and moreover, from the
first concert given by the ensemble
which he recruited in 1911, and which,
beside himself as flutist, consists Of two
obOes, two clarinets, two norns and two
bassdJns-this became an exploded
theory, and with each year this propa.
ganda has grown in overwhelming cir
cles until with the present season the
Barrere ensemble is embarked upon a
transcOntinental tour the most exten-
sive ever booked for a chamber music
organization. This charming little or
chestra is to cCme to Salem under the
auspices Of Minnetta Magers, as the
final number on the musical artists
