DIR. FELLOWES' LECTURES ~
MORROW, TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY.

THE Rev. DIR. Edmund H. Feliowes,
Canon of Windsor Castle. will give
Shree lectures in the auditorium OF
the Library of Congress tomorrow.
Tuesday and Wednesday. The hour
will be 4:30 pm. Admission VIII be
free and without card.
The subjects of these three lee
lures will be: The English Madri-
gal" Tudor Church Music and The
English Lutenists and Their Songs"
Each lecture will be illustrated
with musical examples.
DR.. FelloweS has rendered great
service not only to the British ma
ton. but to the entire musical world.
by his editions of the complete
works of the old English madrigal
COMPOSERS and luten!st song writer's.
This enormous task he has accom-
plished practically single handed. In
the course of his researches he has
brought to light many facts concern
ing the lives of these composers. He
has published excellent monographs
on William Bird and Orlando Glib
Nons. besides books on English
MadriCal verse and kindred subjects.
The three lectures in the Library's
new auditorium have been made pos
stble through the generosity of Mrs.
Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, who in
Vited DR. Fellowes to visit Amer
ica for a limited number of en-
gaxements. The remarkable flower
ing of English music during the end
of the sixteenth and the beginning
of the seventeenth centuries has
never before been SO authoritatively
and so engagingly presented.

Nine. Homer Declines to
Quit Contralto Roles.

THE coming of Nine. Louise Homer
where she will sing the second con-
cert in the Peggy Albion series, has
revived discussion of whether this eel
ebrated contralto, whose voice ranges
as high as those Of many dramatic
sopranos, ever might abandon her
contralto roles for those written for
sopranos. Critics have observed that
Nine. Homer often sings higher than
many meZZo-SopranoS. Some of her
friends have urged her to devote her
voice to the soprano roles, but Nine.
Homer the other day declared emphat-
ically that she would not consider
such a change. She explained:
1T is terribly risky for a contralto
to change her voice to soprano. no
matter how high the tessitura of the
voice is. 1t isn't that we cannot sing
the high AS. BIS and C's the score
calls for, but it is the continuous
strain Of always using the top register
and never using the low and rarely
the middle.
Besides. there Is still plenty for the
contralto to do. What role written
for soprano is greater than Azucena
In IL Trovatore'? Is there any more
beautiful music in the world than that
given to Erda in 'Das Rheingold' and
to Ortrude in Lohengrin'?
II firmly believe a contralto should
stick to what nature gave her and
make the most Of it,
Several selections which Mime.
Homer will sing in her concert here.
!, tickets for which are available at the
Jordan Building, 1899 G street north
west, have been composed by her hus-
band. Sidney Homer, especially to give
full expression Of her extraordinary
range Of voice.

Sophie Braslau Sings
Russian Songs.

Sophie Braslau, American contralto
has done much to bring Russian songs
to the attention of the public. and is
considered one of their greatest inter.
