Revival of German Lie
der In United States.

Recent indications point to re-
newed interest in German music and
German singers, now that the feeling
against both. engendered by the war.
is gradually disappearing. PopuIar-
ly, German singing is identified usual
iy with Wagnerian opera. In Ger
many, however, another branch of the
singing art has, for long time
found active encouragement. This is
the art of lieder singing, a field most
exacting from the temperamentsI
standpoint, as well as in it's demands
on the intellectual, emotional and
spiritual equipment OF the singer. II
is no exaggeration to say that not
more than one singer in a thounsand
can make an evenings program of
great songs
To give perfect expression to a
ned or art song" taxes to the limit
AZ the resources of the artist: Vocal
technique, poetic insight, breadth and
versatility of perception, and, most
of all. the ability to communicate
the essence of the musical message
70 the listener. This penetrating in
terpretative power is one of the rar-
est things in the world and it is
astonishing how few musicians can
| measure up to such a standard if it
Is vigorously applied.
| one or the greatest lieder singers
| today is Elena Gerhardt. acclaine I'd
and beloved not only in America. but
in England and all over Europe as
well. Hers has not been an over
night success. Since the early days
or her career. when the great Mix
isch's approval put the cachet of sue
cess on her talent, she has con-
| tinued to study and to develop her
art For instance, there are about
six hundred songs of Schubert alone,
and 1t Is said that Gerhardt has
studied them all.
Recently. Gerhardt sang in London
four times in succession, and on each
occasion Queens Hall was acked
with musical enthusiasts. To these
Schubert, Wolf and Strauss songs,
and sang them in German, to the in
| tense satisfaction of her auditors who
recalled her time and time again.

AMERICAN COMPOSERS
Stebhen Collins Foster

CTEPHEN COLLINS FOSTER was
- one of the most prolific writers
of typically American songs Many
of his compositions have lived as ia
vorites with the American public.
He was one OF the first writers Of
the negro spirituals which are arous-
ing particular interest at this time.
both in revival in the United States
and on programs in Europe.
Still another timely recollection OF
stephen Foster has been brought up
recently with the dedication early
this month of the mansion near
Ra-rdstown. thirty miles from Louis
willie, KY, to his memory. This was
the house where Foster wrote one OF
songs he ever composed, My Old
Kentucky Home" The fund was
raised as the result of an appeal by
Gov. Edwin p. Morrow and the ap-
pointment of a state commission. The
Old Kentucky Home Association was
then incorporated to purchase the old
house and keep 1t up as a memorial.
Stephen Foster was An odd, senSi-
tive person somewhat similar in type
to the poet Edgar Allen Poe. And.
like Poe. he died in poverty. although
as a result of starvation instead Of
dissipation. He was born in Pitts
burgh. Pa, July 4, 1926, OF well-to do
parents. His father. William Bar
clay Foster. was a prominent citizen
and served in the Pennsylvania legis-
lature for several terms. Stephen re-
oeived his education at Athens Acad-
emy and at Jefferson College, Can
nonsburg, Pa He did not complete
his college education, but went to
Cincinnati where ne worked for a
short time az bookkeeper for a
brother. Commercial life did not ap-
peal to him, however. and he returned
home. There he studied French and
German and spent much of his time
writing songs He did not try to
have them published. but contented
himself in writing them. He also
painted pictures and is said to have
shown marked talent with the brush
as we'll as with the lyrical pen.
Morrison Foster, biographer and
brother TO stephen. stated that the
first song which stephen wrote. which
was an outstanding success. was "Old
Uncle Ned" 1t was written In 1874 )
for the amusement of group of
musical boys in club who met at
the Foster home 10 sing. Foster is
generally thought to have secured his
fine idea of the qualities distinctive
