long a favorite with Washington

admirers.

tenor voice, traced the DEVELOPMENT

of Bach, Handel and Mozart to pres
ent-day song, with explanatory notes
and songs by the masters as illus
trations. From the simple folk song
Of one tune to the aria with two
tunes and coda. Mr.. Douty portrayed
the progress Of vocal music.
Liszt's 'Lorelei" was given as the
finest example of composition of mu-
Sic. Then followed gypsy melodies,
the italian bel canto and the French
sustenuto. Illustrative Of this last
mentioned type Massanets "Ah Shines
Fleurs" was beautifully sung and so
captivated the audience that Mr..
Douty repeated it.

audience with the use of the latest
development in vocal art, mask sing

credited to Debussy (though found in
much earlier works), was taken up

ample.
THE foreign influence has been so
great upon American composers that
there can hardly be said to be Ameri-
can music" said Mr.. Douty. Kramer,
a clever critic and composer, follows
the lines Of Debussy; Pearl Curran
has written things probably more
truly American, her Dawn is schol-
arly and interesting; Ward-Stephens,
in his Some One Worth While,
makes an appeal to the heart throbs.;'
The program was closed with two
interesting songs composed by Mr..
Douty, and with "Silhouettes" as en-
core. Mr.. Douty played his own ac-
