Music
Modern Composition Played
by New Symphony Society
at It's First Concert
By II. E. Krehbiel

The first concert OF the New SYM
phony Orchestra Qnc) took place in
Carnegie Hall last night. 1t began with
the instrumental Introduction to an
Easter cantata composed by Bach over
two hundred years ago. yet this was
at once the freshest and most refresh
ing piece Of music on the programme
arranged by Mr.. Varese.
Long before the list Of pieces was
brought to an end the wish obtruded
itself that it night have been reserved
as postlude instead of having been
spent as prelude. After an hour of
music by ultra modern composers it
would have provided much needed
ventilation of the room, the artistic
atmosphere of which had been made
stagnant and oppressive by unreleved
and dissonant clashing of keys, reitera-
ton of unmeaning rhythmical figures.
pauclty OF melody and monotonous
striving for unwonted combination of
instrumental timbres. All the other
pieces, not excepting the first of De-

little of everything that the composer
could think of in the way of harmonic
and instrumental oddity, like the shot
gun prescription of the country doctor,
which included something of every
thing in the drug shop supposed to be
effective in one of the many ordinary
ailments of the human body
Besides the "Gigue" there was a
merciless vocal infiction entitled

one wonder in what country a May
night was a night of torture; two more

poem by Gabriel Dupont called lie
Chant de la Destinee" The nerve

Alfrido Casella, an Italian Partisan,
who evidently thinks he has created
the musical concepts of coming gen.
Grafton whose artistic processes will
be as confused as are the political in
the city Of his residence at tae pres
ent moment. He is the man, we be-
lieve, who set the clanking and groan-
ing noises and numbering movements
of war tank to music. Mr.. Walter
Damrosch revealed him to us at one Of
the Symphony concerts this season.
The continuator of Debussy's
'"Images" was Bella Bartok, Hun and
rival of Attila in his capacity for
inspiring terror. When he reached the
theme of his village dance he con-
vinced US that we liked Sir Arthur Sui
!ivan's treatment of "Miya Sama" bet
ter in the original package-so to
speak.
Mr.. Varese's orchestra in its con-
stitution recalled memories of the
Italian Symphony Orchestra which Mr..
Florida called into existence for one
or two consecutive concerts few
years ago. 1t had indirectly been sub
jected to able and energetic training
at the hands Of the conductor, but tthe
instruments had so little opportunity
to speak in the idiom native to them,
that one hesitates to pronounce an
opinion on their quality. A phrase or
two from a work by Mozart, Beethoven
or Weber might have resolved our
doubts Nine. Ettore Cadorin, mezzo
soprano, string, did bravely with Ca
