SOCIETY OF FINE ARTS
HEARS WORKS OF BACH
ThreN Artists Who Took Part in
. 1ethiehsn Festival Delight at
High School.

The Washington Society Of the Fine
Arts held Its second recital of the sea-
son last night in the auditorium of
the Central High School. The pro-
gram. which was given by Charles
Tittmann, Miss Mildred Faas and Miss
Lucy Brickenstein, was entirely de-
voted to the work of Johann Sebas-
troduoed the artists OF the evening
ana remarked on the fact that Miss
Faas, Mr.. Tittmann and Miss Brick
enstein mad all taken part In the Bach
festival at Bethlehem, under the di-
rection of DR.. J. Fred Wolfe.
Mr.. Tittmann prefaced the singing
by short sketch of the life of John
Sebastian Bach, contrasting the life
or Handel, who was born in the same
year, and also speaking Of Bach as
neing the first musician to use the
thumb In the technique of the piano.
Among the numerous works. cantatas,
fugues and preludes. the Mass in b
Minor seems to many the most in
spired. This mass is sung each year
by the Bach choir in Bethlehem. Pa.
The first part of the program was
duet from the cantata 'My Spirit Was
| In Heaviness." sung by Miss Faas and
Mr.. Tittmann- These artists showed
their experience in singing the COM
positions OF the great master in their
| Interpretation of this beautiful duet
the soprano recitative and aria from
''The Passion of st. Matthew" was beau
tifully sung by Miss Faas, giving the
audience an opportunity to enjoy the
freshness and fiexibility of Miss Faas'
voice. The duet from "Sleepers,
| Awake! is one of the most familiar
songs.
1t Is seldom that the audience ha
the privilege of hearing it given with
! so thorough an understanding of the
composers genius Mr. Tittmann's
full, rich tones were heard to special
Guide Of Israel" The aria INV
Heart Ever Faithful is one Of the
most beautiful and easily compre-
hended songs. and the audience par
ticularly showed its appreciation of
Miss Faas' singing In this beautiful
melody. The first part of the pro-
gram ended with the dramatic recita-
tive and aria from the cantata.

In the main, the remedy lies In
distribution and marketing. Every
proper encouragement should be
given to the cooperative marketing
programs. These have proven very
helpful to the cooperating COM
munities in Europe. In Russia the
cooperative community has be-
come the recognized bulwark Of
law and order, and saved individ-
ualism from engulfment in social
paralysis. Ultimately they will be
accredited with the salvation Of
the Russian state.

fed in rebelling against the trans
