Bruno HUM, well known as an
American composer of delightful
songs, will give his first recital of
his compositions in Washington next
Saturday afternoon, April 4, under
the auspices of the local alumnae
club of Mu Phi Epsilon national musi-
cal sorority, at Rauscher's, in the ball
room, at pm. This is the third
and final recital in the series for the
benefit Of the MacDowell Colony. Mr..
HUM has appeared here before, but
only at White House musicals, when
he came to accompany some singer,
for he is considered an accompanist
par excellence.
Mr.. HUM was born in England and
lived many years in Australia. He is
now a naturalized American. Gret-
chen Hood, soprano, and Raymond G.
Moore, baritone, and the Monday
Morning Music Club, Mrs. w. f. Hill
ton, director, will sing Mr.. Huhn's
numbers, with the composer at the
piano
The program will be: Baritone solos,

noted citizens who are taking a lead
ing part in the plans of the meet
ings. This convention is intended to
be even international in scope and
embraces all creeds. For this rea-
son the choice of Bach's Mass is espe-
cially happy, because il is music be
longing to all peoples, and its
spiritual message is not limited to
the ritualistic expression of one
church alone. It is the text of the
Catholic mass set to music by d
Protestant composer. But, in reality
ii is the voicing of human aspirations
the world over by the greatest com
poser the world has known.
The performance will be divided
into afternoon and evening sections
similar to the way in which Wagner's
'Parsifal" has been performed in Eu-
rope and America. The singers will
be supported by an orchestra consist
ing of members from the Philadelphia
symphony Orchestra. The number of
these players in the string section
Will be larger than il has ever been
in any performance of the mass given
by the Bach Choir. 1t is felt that
this increase in the strings is neces-
sary in order to achieve a proper bal
ance between strings and wind instru-
ments. Therefore, it is probable that
Washington will hear a more perfect
rendition of Bach's immortal score than
has ever been given on this side Of
the Atlantic
Evening star., 1925-03-29
Notes on Bach

In view of the coming performance
of Bach's ,''B Minor Mass" some OF
John Monroe's notes regarding this
composer and his religious works may
prove interesting:
Johann Sebastian Bach, the might
lest figure in music, was born, at
Eisenbach, Germany, in 1885, and
died in 1850 at Leipsic. AS Leonardo
da Vinci summed up in one man ,the
intellectual glory of the Renaissance.
so Bach was the incarnation of the
spiritual glory Of the Reformation.
The idea that there was immediate
access for the soul of man TO the
heart of God, which idea was the sub
stance of the Reformation. was the
source from which flowed the might
lest of his master works of religious
music. There has grown up a legend
that Bach is too remote for the taste
of the -ausical laity, that his idiom
is without emotional power to move
and his utterance complicated. Alas.
Is religion to be siruped in senti-
mentality and are there no compli-
cations in the spiritual encounter of
life? Those who sit in spongIike
case in Sion will browse over and
resent Bach, for he requires exhaust
ing labors to perform and humble
and devoted listening to receive, but
has ii not been written, Woe to them
that are at ease in Sion"?"

Cornell Professor In
Musical

VLADIMIR KARAPETOF'F, profess
sor of engineering at Cornell
University, Will give a musical at
the New National Museum April 20,
under the auspices of the Cornell
Alumni Society.
About year ago Prof. Karapetoff,
native of Russia, lectured in Wash
ington on the Einstein theory of rela-
tivity, illustrating his scientific talk
with model of his own construc-
ton This time he appears in a diff
ferent role. He is a musician of note
and plays both the piano and the
cello. Although the program is as
yet incomplete, it is understood that
he will play some of his musical COM
positions and recite one or two of
his poems. His poem, IL Am an
American is widely known and is
considered as an excellent piece of
literature.
Prof. karapetoff is best known as
a, scientist and engineer. He has
been practicing and teaching engi-
neering in this country for more than
20 years, serving at Cornell most
OF that time. A graduate OF both
Russian and German universities, he
holds several scientific degrees, and
/ before coming to America served as
consulting engineer Of the Russian
government and also as director of
railways. Owing to his anti-royalist
sympathies he was forced to leave his
native land in 1902. In this country
he has been in the service of the
Westinghouse Electric Manufactur-
ing Corporation, the ]. G. White Cor
poration and other well known en-
gineering and electrical organiza-
tions.
During his stay in Washington the
professor plans to attend the annual
sessions of the American Physical
Society, where he will deliver a sci
entitic talk.
