noted, real strength and endurance

Torovsky Is concert master on
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays
and Fridays, Spence on the other
three days. Occasionally they play
together, producing thirds, fourths,
and other chords, as you have no

gering a simple keyboard. The re-
suit should be a sumptuous. an over
whelming series Of harmony waves.
Levers Are Numbered.
At present the levers are num-
bered as well as lettered In tonic Sc
Quence. They run from low D-flat
to high A-flat, giving one Of the
most extensive chime ranges in the
United States. 1t is possible to play
THE Star-Spangled Banner" on the
Epiphany bells, and singers know
what a throat-racking aria" that is.
Torovsky has only one regret in
connection with the chimes and this
is that Epiphany Is located SO far
down town, surrounded by business
blocks. The sound waves are de-
flected and, when the wind Is in
certain quarters, obscured by the
high walls flan1Sing the city's can
yons. On a hill such as Mt. st.
Adams the tones would carry at
least five miles, he says. OF course,
ss regards redio, the Epiphany bells
are heard as far south as Atlanta.
Their selection are broadcasted every
day.
The two chimers have expert
mented with using the bells as a sort
Of obligato for the very excellent
organ boasted by Epiphany, and with
marked success. Torovsky handles
the stops while, overhead, Spence
pulls the big leavers. Thus an in.
spirational bourbon is added to the
counterpoint Of organ and choir.
Next Christmas Eve we may ex-
pect to hear a gorgeous combination
of voices, organ and chimes waiting
out the deathless strains of those
favorite Yuletide hymns which one
inevitably associates with England,
snow and holly. Let us hope the
old airs will travel wide over town
and countryside as white and still
as the winter landscape Of a nature
artist. p. A. o.

OHIO COMPOSER HoNoRs
PRESIDENT WITH MUSIC

francesca Pozzi, of Steubenville,
Ohio, bandmaster, who is a gradu.
ate of the Turin Conservatory, has
composed two pieces-"The Tri.
umph" and THE Inaugural" both
dedicated to President Harding, and
these were recently played by the
United States Marine Band, writes
the Washington correspondent of
Musical America ..#..
Mr.. Pozzi came to Washington to
hear the compositions, and to be
received at the White House by the
President. He was one of Senator
Harding's most enthusiastic support
ers, and, although he has been In
America but seven years, was great
iy interested in the Presidential cam
paign.
When Harding was elected Pozzi
became so enthusiastic over the Re-
publican victory that he conceived
the idea Of commenorating It in the
form of music. The result Of his ef-
forts is comprised in the two pieces
'.The Triumph" q symphonic fan
tasy, and THE Inaugural" q march.

SONG WRITERS
Feathered' virtuosos Sing So
Clearly Songs Can Be No
tated on Paper.

Singing birds may in time come to
outrival folk songs IN furnishing
composers with musical themes for
their works. Judged by the experience
Of Mrs. H. II. A. Beach. American
woman composer. while composing in
the MacDowell woods at Peterbor-
ough. N. II. Mrs Beach, confirming
this statement, told a friend the
other day that such arranging Of
hermit thrush songs in two piano
pieces had been a great Joy to her.
MY studio at Peterborough" said
Mrs. Beach. "was surrounded on
three sides by beautiful birch trees,
the front facing a wide view Of val
leys and mountains. In the deep
woods nearby the hermit thrushes
sang all day long, so close to me
that I could notate their songs and
even amuse myself by initiating
them on the piano and having them
answer.
''The songs" Mrs. Beach went on
to say. "were very lovely and so
consonant with our scales that
could weave them into piano pieces
as easily as Could have used folk
songs. II was a labor Of love, in
deed, and 1 only hope that I have
succeeded In giving at least a slight
impression Of their exquisite rythms
and melodic beauty"

CHICAGO HEARS
-FOUR OPERAS BY.
us. COMPOSERS
Organizations Fostering Ma
tive Talent--Clvss Fine
New Program.

Chicago's musical world, or at
least those Of its elect who were In
that city during the midsummer
days. had the unusual opportunity
recently of hearing q program OF
four operas by American composers,
given In whole or in part. at the
home Of Mrs. Archibald Freer, ma
tional chairman of the Opera In Our
Language Foundation.
The event was held in honor OF
Mrs. Rockefeller. McC Cormick, treas
urer of the David Bispham Memorial
Fund. with which Mrs. Freer's
organization Is affiliated In fits cam
paign to further opera In English
K and to assist the American composer.
For American Music.
Mrs. Freer's program included
Charles w. Cadman's opera, Shane
wis" in its entirety. together with
excerpts from THE Echo" by Frank
Patterson. of New York, and Castle
Agrazant," by Ralph Lyford. of Gin
cinnati. The two last named works
have been chosen by the Foundation
and the Memorial Fund for presenta-
tion in 1923.
It is also the aim of the affiliated
organization to establish an Ameri-
can opera house. and a 100000 81
campaign has been begun to make
this possible. Those fostering the
movement point to the large sums
American cities are now spending on
opera houses and opera companies,
but deplore the lack of attention
given the native composer In all this
expenditure.
Fine Work Available.
II is their firm belief that worthy
and even excellent operate works by
Americans are available and that
only proper encouragement Is needed
to bring them forth in greater abund-
ance in the future. So long as we
depend for our music upon the
foreign composer. says the Opera in
Our Language Foundation, we must
style ourselves a nation of music
borrowers. not of makers. It is not
the purpose of the organization to
exclude European music or that of
any other continent, nor will foreign
singers be barred when the American
opera house Is built. Where foreien
works are given, however, they win
be translated into English.
Mrs. Freer has recently been ap-
pointed co-chairman with Mrs. Edgar
Stillman Kelley of the opera and
orchestra section Of the National
Federation of Music Clubs.
