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 plavs 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 hxs 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, they
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, un-
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 "Encyclopedia
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 ef-
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
cholarly 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 ac-
ton OF the play, he has sometimes
