PERF|DY OF MUCK
PROVEN BYPRESS
Former Conductor of Boston
Symphony Orchestra Con-
sorted With U. S. Enemies.

The Boston Post is publishing a
series OF articles which seem to
throw a new light on the American
career OF DIT. Karl Muck. ousted
leader of the Boston Symphony, who
was interned during the war. The
Post reproduces a letter said by Sc
cret Service men TO have been writ
ten by the German conductor to a
prominent society girl of this city.
In the letter Muck Is quoted as re-
ferring to Americans as ours" He
relates how he hated" to appear be-
fore people who worshipped nothing
but the dollar. .-......- -
The Posts articles are the result
OF DR.. Auck's recent utterances in
Berlin. He declared that the stupid
American Secret Service officials"
mistook . Bach st Matthew Pas
sion" score for a spy code.
To show that DR.. Muck's state
ments are false, the Post publishes
the series which sets forth evidence
that the American Government had
definite proof of Muck's attitude dur
ing the war. i-'' f-.
DR.. Karl Muck was deported from
the United States last August. and

tight-drawn. thin lips and strong jaw

spare figure and looseness OF limb,

land farmer.
A wavy shock of hair, streaked
with spreading grayness. terminates
the broad forehead. Under shaggy
eyebrows burn eyes penetrating with
out sharpness, eyes that seem now to
contemplate remote perspectives and
anon, are blithely alert to the matter
of the moment. He is thirty-nine,
they say. He looks more. His life
has been. in the superficial sense, un-
eventful. Yet his countenance, like
one Of Gilbert's idealistic personages
wears sorrows interesting trace"
The Washington times., 1919-12-28

has since then been edifyinE Berlin
with explanations for this Unkind
and unnecessary action on the part
Of the American authorities. Accord
ing 20 n story recently received in
New York. the eminent doctor says
that he was arrested and imprisoned
because he had jotted down in pencil
the parts of the st. Matthew Passion
OF Bach and these being found were
dsclared by musical authorities in
our Secret Service department to be
sending Illicit news TO Germany,
. The editor Of the New York Times,
commenting upon Or. Muck's nara
tive, says: "The long sequestration
that followed completely wore out
the patience of DR.. Muck. His asso-
ciates in confinement were '4caly
lot, and never could he forget that IL
was by invitation he had come to
America. After such treatment it
was with almost inexpressible Joy
that at last he departed from a
country where a guest was thus NAL
treated.
But DR.. Muck admits that he will
not be missed here. We still have
Sousa. and 'Sousa is about good
enough for Americans
This talk seems to have been well
received in Berlin. 1t would have
been wise to prevent his emergence
thence, for there are several people
in the United States who know why
DIR. Muck was arrested, interned and
finally deported. and should he con-
tinue much longer thus to exploit his
grievances the information as yet
kept within a narrow circle may
reach a wider one, with results dis
astrous, even in Berlin, to the doc
tors reputation for-well. call 1t
veracity and let IT go at that.
LAS for his Enthusiastically cour-
teous reference to another musician,
that needs no commentary except
what is self-eupplied. Mr. .Sousa can
afford to smile at it."

NOTED CRITIC PRAISES
COMPOSITIONS OF DETT
Frederick Martens Declares Latest
Work Shows Every Evil
dence of Progress.

, HAMPTON, Va, Dec. 2S.-"The
Chariot Jubilee" and other compost
tions Of r. Nathaniel Dett, including
weeping Mary" In the Bottom"
'cMusic in the Mine" and Magic
Moon Of Mother Gold" are enthusias-
tically reviewed by Frederick Mar
tins, contributing editor to Musical
America, in the December issue of the
Southern Workman, which is pub
lished by Hampton Institute Mr.
Martens review, in part follows:
In preparing to set down some Of
the Impressions and reactions pro-
duced by a study of the more recent
works which have come from the pen
of r. Nathaniel Dett. my eye chanced
20 fall on the copy OF Religious
Folk Songs OF the Negro" which lay
on my worll-table. and could not
help but feel that 1t represented the
ideal point Of departure for any con-
sideratiOn OF what this composer has
done. Aside from any intrinsic value
of its own the fine Hampton edition
Of these authentic plantation songs
has served to inspire original work
of enduring value and beauty on the
part of those men who have carried
the message of the old "spirituaP' to
a world audience-men like Coleridge
Taylor, Harry Burleigh, and r.
Nathaniel Dett-and have proven that
the folk song of the negro may COM
pare with that OF any other race in
emotional depth and melodic lowell
ness
1t is not too much to say that the
group of choral works and songs by
r. Nathaniel Dett, which have Just
come from the press, establish beyond
all chance of doubt that he Is moving
up and on, and is showing a deeper
quality of inspiration, a richer and
more matured finish of musician
ship.
This impression is unacceptable in
the case OF that truly inspired piece
of choral writing, the Chariot Jubi-
lee" the motet for tenor solo and
chorus Of mixed voices with accom-
paniment OF organ, piano, or or
chestra. which the composer wrote at
the request OF the Syracuse Univer-
sity chorus and its conductor, Prof.
Howard Lyman.
