broken up the choruses into alternate
solo and ensemble passages. He has
iurther made use of the Wagnerian
system of the leit-motI, using certain
'hcmes with symbolic significance
during the play, notably the lament of
Electra, the mysterious chords which
accompany the strangers, who turn out
10 be Orestcs and Pylades, and the
chorus of tho Furies." Further. it is
understood that he has not been spar
ing of musical means which are known
as modern" but he expressly disclaims
any attempt to use the orchestra to
depict physical horrors, as Strauss used
his in Electra"
In all this there will be matter for
lively discussion when the PLAYS come
TO performance. The extent to which
such music should be conditioned by
the external form of the text or made
to accord with what little we know of
Greek music has no doubt worried
other composers who have attempted
the task, as, according to record, it
worried Professor Paine in the com,
position of his music for the famous
Greek performances of "Gdipus" at
Harvard in 1881.
Reproducing Dramatic Content
Mr.. Damrosch hes held, it is an
nounced, to the chief purpose which
has guided Miss Angln and himself
in their work, which is to reproduce
not the outward form of the Greek
plays so much as their dramatic con-
tent. They have approached their task
from the standpoint of the man Of the
theatre. They insist that the Greek
plays were first of all dramas for the
stage; that they are stageworthy and
theatric in the exact sense, and are
capable Of interesting twentieth
century audience as they interested
the theatregoers of Pericles' time.
So while they have taken into ac
count all there is on record concerning
the Greek method of production, thew
have looked for their authority pri-
marily in the plays themselves. 1t has
been Mr.. Damrosch's purpose, so the
announcement runs, to heighten the
emotional effect of the dramatic story.
How we'll he has succeeded will be a
pretty subject for later consideration.

Dan1rosch Music for The
Revived Greek TRAGEDIES
Miss Anglin Will Treat Choruses Merely nc
Dramatic Elements to Forvard the
Action of the PLav

Waiter Damrosch, who has composed
the Incidental and choral music for the
..-.ormances of Sophocles' electra"
and Euripides' "Medea," to be acted by
Miss Anglin and her company at a
s.r;es of matinees at Carnegie Hall be-
r;nning Wednesday of next week, I'M
Ssr the auspices of the Symphony So
.;ety has undertaken a puzzling
nroblem. For whereas the text can be
renroduced in some approximation of
tbe original manner, it would be fruit
lass. even were it possible, to repro
dnca the music which Sophocles and
rrobably Euripides provided for their
tragedies.
II is common knowledge that Greek
tragedy originated in the choral ode
and was saturated with music and the
snrit of music. But it seems to have
been music which would convey little
10 modern ears. The Greeks, of course,
knew nothing of harmony, and found in
their restricted modes a quantity of
meaning which would escape modern
Economically trained listeners.
As Donald Francis Tovey points out
in his article in the Encyclopaedia
Britannica" Greek music represents
little of what is known as music to us,
but rather "an organization of the rise
and fall Of the voice, no doubt as clab-
crate and artistic as the organization
Of verse, no doubt powerful in height
ening the emotional and dramatic eff
feet Of words and action, but in no
way essential to the understanding or
the organization of the works which
i. adorned. The classical Greek pref
erence for the diatonic scale indicates
latent harmonic sense and also that
temperance which is at the foundation
Of the general Greek sense of beauty;
but beyond this and similar generali-
ties all the research in the world will
not enable us to understand the Greek
musicians mind. Non harmonic music
is world of two Dimensions"
Matter of Guesswork
Even if one attempted a thoroughly
scholarly Reconstruction" of Greek
music as part of Greek drama, the
result would be based largely on guess
work. And one cannot but feel that
it would be artistically, as we'll as aca-
demically, valueless. Mr. Damrosch has,
Of course, attempted no such recon
struction, but has composed a score
which aims to reinforce the dramatic
and emotional content Of the dramas.
Excerpts from his "Iphigenie" score,
composed for Miss Anglin's Greek per-
formances at the Greek Theatre of the
University of California. have been
heard at the concerts of the Symphony
Society.
Concerning the "Medea' and "Elec-
ira" scores the information is vouch-
safed that he has written Emusic Of
modern structure to express the par
tcular emotions Of the plays" He has
written music freely to accompany the
dances and the more dramatic moments
Of the action. and ss1ne melodrame as
we'll to accompany spoken passages. In
consonance with Miss Anglin's method
OF treating the choruses as dramatic
clements, tending to forward the &C
ton OF the play, he has sometimes

ROYAL
FLYING CORPS
LEAVING SOUTH

Fort Worth, Tex, April 1.-THE
British Royal Flying corps, COM
manded by Brig. Gen. Hoare of In
dian jungle campaign fame, which
has been training here since October,
soon will be starting back to Toronto,
Can. The training will be resumed
in Canada.
The British, thousands strong, came
to Fort Worth and. shared the three
American fields here at the invitation
of the United States government. 1t
was return courtesy for the British
invitation last summer for the Amer
leans to train in Canada. Among the
first arrivals at the American avia-
ton fields was Lord Wellesley, grand
son of the Duke of Wellington and now
a lieutenant colone. Lord Wellesley
will head the first contingent that
leaves Fort Worth for Canada.
Another famous flyer who reached
the Texas fields was Capt. Vernon
Castle, an ace of the air, who subse-
quently was killed in an accident.
The British opened the three fields
here, taking charge before the Amer
leans arrived. They have retained
charge of the training, even of the
Americans, and have directed the
aerial gunery school continuously.
Major ballard has been in charge of
the gunnery branch since Major Kin
hershey was sent back to the western
front.
The training has been rapid and in
tensive, nothing illustrating this more
than the large number of cadets kill
ed. To date At deaths have occurred
from accident at the three fields
two-thirds being British. The major
ity of those killed were cadets, only
two captains succumbing to injuries
though several other officers were in
jured. Three mechanics have been
killed.
