.By far the most delightful enter
tainment ever given in San Antonio,
is the way many enthusiastic listen
ers characterized the series OF lecture
recitals on How to Appreciate
Music" given by Mary Jordan, con-
: tralto, which were concluded on Fri
day afternoon, February %.
The series was composed of three
lecture-recitals, and was given by Miss
/, Jordan in response 10 request from
many non-musicsl friends, that the
! beautiful art Of song be explained and
interpreted so that persons who had
had no musical training could under
stand as well as enjoy the music they
delighted to hear. In the opinion OF
every one present, Miss Jordan more
than fulfilled every expectation, and
left her hearers with the impression
that she had given them glimpses into
a new musical world of interest as
well as pleasure.
1.-The development of a national
feeling and expression III music" was
used for the third recital Of the series.
This idea was illustrated with groups
of Italian, French and English songs.
both old and modern. "LArictta,
seventeenth century, and "Ridonami
Ia calma," of about the same period,
were chosen for the early Italian
songs. with Zanella's La Misterio >
for the modern type of song. Old
A.. French songs were illustrated with q
"Chanson provencal by dOzanne and
ipthoTnaHu lse uatuuSL uS INV
res" Debussy's "Le Chevaleur,
drains "Marins dIslande" and I'm
actoristic Of the modern Frencl
school of song-writing.
l by Dimpled Brook" by DR.. Arne
and "Come Hitler Little Childe,
were the old English songs sung, with
Cyril SCOTS Lullaby" and Landon
Konald's Away on the Hill' for the
modern English music. At the close
: of the program. in response TO special
requests. Miss Jordan repeated four
songs that had proved particularly sat
I. isfying. 60.
Walter Dunham's musicianly ac-
compartment added much to the arts
tic excellence of all three Of Miss
Jordan's programs. -.
! Perhaps during her several years Of
residence in San Antonio Miss Jordan
has made no public appearances that
have been more thoroughly satisfying
from nn artistic as wells as per-
sonal point of view, as this lecture
recital series. With the familiar
background of her own beautiful home.
surrounded by groups of warm per-
sonal friends, Miss Jordan was at her
splendid best. Her beautiful. voice
has never sounded more sympathetic
throughout her whole contralto regis
ter. and her art of Interpretation has
: never seemed more completely at her
command.
That her audience was thoroughly
delighted with her. as lecturer as we'll
as singer was manifested again and
again. in unmistakable terms, not only
Z in prolonged applause after each song
but in the far moro real tribute OF
absolute silence. and >he involuntary
"Ohs" and "Ahs" OF pleasure when a
song made a particularly intimate ap,
peal.
