RATTAN DEvrs RECITAL
Classic Indian Ragas and Kashmiri
Folk Songs at Little Theatre

legitimate exotic, without adventitious
advertising or Fictitious appeal, lowered
at the Little Theatre last night. The occa-
sion was a recital of classic ragas of India
and foksongs, done by Rattan Devi, the
European wife of DIR. Amanda Coomara-
swamy. who explained before the singing the
relation of IndIas music to her philosophy
and life.
In his delicate distinction between Asiatc
and European music DR.. Coomaraswamy so
clearly indicated the background necessary
to appreciation and took music into such
metaphysical realms that he excused In ad-
vance all lack of understanding, Obviously
an audience with no background could only
do exactly what he desired 1t not to do:
consider the recital as something to be
appreciated only as an esthetic treat To
that attitude the settings, the garments
and the atmosphere of Rattan Devi certainly
mnistered. Against a deep background,
with incense burning and two vases of royal
poinsettia, Rattan Devi sat and sang, adding
to her voice only the strum of tamboura.
Easier of appreciation than the ragas
were the folksongs, sung without accom-
paniment. In them the Occident found it.
self, found it's humanity and wondered
a little that the stuff was the same. Even
musical forms We're more easily distin-
guished there, in lullaby and dance. But
the raSas, with sadness and an eXaltation
which cannot be clearly defined, were the
songs which called forth passion by their
own restraint. The recital was battling
and wonderful mystery. c. W S.
