MUSIC FOR THE MONTH OF ROSES
Flonxaley Quartet Plays the
Old Familiar Air 9 Drink to
Me Only With Thine Eyes,

Drink To Me Only With Thine
Eyes"--this splendid old familiar air
as played on Victor Record by the
Flonzaley Quartet represents wonder
ful transformation--the work of M.
Alfred Pochon of the Flonzaley Quar-
fet. The quartet gives it here in a man.
ner beyond all praise. 1t will doubtless
cause surprise to many to find it given
with such perfect artistry and such
delicacy of feeling, for it was not, when
written, an ordinary tavern-catch for
Ben Jonson--who wrote the words,
but song of deep, sincere and rever-
ent love. The melody is given from
one instrument to another, and in the
giving, woven about with pure and
ethereal harmonies. 1t is sung in rich
low chords, transported into higher
key and sung again almost as if with
the voices of living spirits returned to
earth to stay there.
Tosti's Good Bye" as sung by the
late Evan Williams on a Victor Record,
is the last ever to be recorded by this
gifted singer. By concurrence of
things, so strange as to seem almost
like a fatality, it happens that this
the last records "Tosti's Goodbye"
1t was made only few weeks before
his death when there passed away, one
of the greatest of artists and one of
the finest of men. There is no need
to dwell upon the song--one of the sad
dest and yet the sweetest ever given to
the world. Evan Williams has not left
silence in the world for every echo of
his great voice which is to be heard
upon this Victor Record is an audible,
if not visible mark upon the road
way thither.
One of the 1oveliest of all rockabye
songs is Mozart's Cradle Song" as

the mother-love and expressed it in
a linger- phrase at the very end of
the song. The song is repeated so
softly that it can scarcely be heard,
dying away like the faint croonings of
a distant flute. The orchestra gently
takes up and re-echoes that wonderful
closing phrase.
1t seemed rather a pity to Nine.
Homer that Stephen Fosters Planta-
ton Melody-"Oh, Boys, Garry Me
'Long"-should not be as well known
as some of his other compositions
which every American knows or should
know Nine. Homer therefore records
this Foster gem on Victor Record,
doing superb justice to this old song,
the full beauty and color of her
voice being used to place it in some
cell of the national memory whence it
will not readily escape. The chorus of
mems voices uplifts in it with deep and
genuine feeling. The splendid, rich
contralto leads and controls them line
by line.

rescued in time-but not however, be-
fore she and the Don have had the
colloquy upon which the duet is based.
1t is one of the most graceful in the
whole realm of music and Miss Gar
Iison and Mr.. Werrenrath have adj
miringly caught its spirit.
The Don pleads fervently-yet boldly,
while Zerlina replies in hippant style
which hides a most woeful disposition
to waver. Werrenrath opens the duet
in one of the courtliest of Mozart's
many wonderful themes. In perfect
time, Zerlina answers in almost the
same strain with one or two charming
embellishments. The Don grows more
urgent. Zerlina begins to waver and
when he finally calls upon her to fly
with him, the two join, note for note,
in lively two-part refrain. which has
charmed and delighted thousands for
the past hundred and fifty years.
The whole number is in Mozart's
most frolicsome spirit The two artists
have caught it and the Victor Record
presents their Interpretation of this
one of the oldest of human tragedies.
Geraldine Farrar sings "Star of
Love-" one of the successes of the
operetta-"Apple Blossoms" on Vic
tor Record 1t begins with curious
wavering melody against sharp, crisp
chords in the orchestra which leave
almost the effect of giant mandolin,
idly strummed by someone not too
familiar with the instrument. The key
of the song is indehnite-and the ear
wonders as the singer retells the story.
However, she at last declares she will
repeat the words sung to her by the
serenader underneath her window.
Then follows an invitation to the
'Love-Star" to shine down upon a
beautiful girl. "A bright Spanish
rhythm leaps into being. accentuated by
touches of the castanets and decorated
with brief passages from the orchestral
flute. The melody. instead of rising:

Many people are already coming

Glove Ne or Not" is the title of this
new song sung in manner SO diiier-
ent from what music lovers have asso-
ciated with this great Victor artist as
to cause extraordinary surprise to those
who think they have measured IN fuii
his remarkable versatility. The voice
never rises, in this Victor Record be-
yond the usual tenor range, but its tone
quality is exceedingly pure and lever.
1t is a love song-breathing sincere
deep feeling. The poem, to which the
song is set is one of the Airs oil
Thomas Campion, written three hun
dred years ago.
Night love, death-that mysterious
trinity of poets and lovers form the
world from which Chopin evoked the
series of nocturnes for the piano when
today among longer works, associate
his name with all that is delicate, ex-
ouisite and poetic in the domain OF
music. r..
The Second Nocturne-which Hel-
fetz plays on a new Victor Records
the best known and doubtless the one
most readily adaptable OF all to tran
scription for the violin.
It's melody-captured by some pro-
cess of magic is more to be compared
to the lights of the clear moon among
wisps of hazy clouds than the melodies
of many of the others. Whatever Sc
cret that self-kindled light discovered
in the deep forests it hoated over is
shared with Heifetz as the composers
interpreter. His strong, clear, mascu-
line tone-one of the miracles OF his
generation-after the first few bars IS Is
curiously subtilized and refined as It
he feared to let the instrument speak
too loud.
There are wonderful double-stops-
Chopin's own harmony-furtive chro-
matte passages, long cadenza OF al
most unearthly sweetness frost-cold,,
piercing harmonies but beyond all
these CLOVIS the melody, ever lifting
from string to string.

song-it is sermon. 1t has a catchy
melody, ragtiine rhythm and the bells
chime deliciously in the background of
every line. Between the stanzas, two
violins take UP the song theme. My
Sahara Rose" is ditty which begins
ightsomely but soon drops into the
compelling minor key and the langtlor-
Gus rhythm of the desert dance. There
is an orchestral interlude with curious
lIlittle hitch IN tempo.
Mothers Hands" sung by Henry

Shining" sung by Charles Hart-Lewis

two songs of plain human sentiment
The former includes beautiful violin

Kreisler Charms With
8 "Forsaken"

"Forsaken" as played by Kreisler on
a Victor Record brings to mind an i'll
cident of more than passing interest.
During a conversation between two
American composers recently, one re-
marked-"A theme that | heard some
where in childhood has been running
through my mind for days. am al
most tempted to use it in my new
symphony but there is chance that
someone will know it and | will be ac--
cused of plagiarism" His friend had
him sing it over ''Why," said he,
THAT is from an old college song"
"But l cannot believe it, these two
phrases are as beautiful as anything
i know" Almost the same day kreisler
was transmitting this arrangement to
Victor Records.
1t is a lovers song at the grave OF
his beloved in the country churchyard.
Kreisler plays it for the most part in
"dorfble-stops" or two string harmonies,
against a soft orchestral background
enriched with harps. AT its close, he
takes up a new strain of his own as
if memory had awakened some long
silent power of speech.
