What sorry thing life will be in that far distant

The Redemption" was first produced

Gounod describes the work as "lyri-
cal setting forth. OF three great facts
on which depend the existence of the
Christian Church--first, the, passion
and death of Christ: second. His glori-
Gus life on earth from His resurrection
TO His ascension: third, the spread of
Christianity IN the world through the
mission OF the apostles These three
parts of the present trilogy are pre-
ceded by prologue OH the creation
the fall of Adam and Eve. and the
promise of the Redeemer.
The characters presented are Jesus
Mary and the two narrators. The work
consists OF "a choruses and SO recita-
tives, solos. duos, trios, quartets and
orchestra pieces.
In The Redemption" Gounod follows
Bach in the use of the narrator and
the choral He also employs one wag-
merriam motif the beautiful phrase ex-
pressing the redeeming love of the
Savior. This motif recurs nine times
in the work The narrative is given to
the single male voices and the direct
speeches Of Jesus 10 baritone.

day have been set aside as
one of the many national
weeks dedicated to a Spe-
cine purpose. If there is the great

scientists and psychologists assert
exists in the cultivation of that
ability, then surely through the
medium OF these typicaily Ameri-
can weeks" our Nation should 30

along certain lines at least,
This time it is Music week. Cos
nlopolltan Washington, the Ma
tlonal Capital. after one or two
rather half-hearted attempts at
Music week celebration, has not
officially become a sponsor to tile
Idea. Even so. certain groups in
local music circles are announcing
special Music week programs.
The PianistS' Club of Washington
chooses this week to present the
annual series of 10 recitalS, deu-
bleo, into five. evenings. featuring
the demonstration of advanced
work under established teachers
of that instrument. Friday night,
Mr.. KaSpar also chooses Music
week to give another public re-
cital by violin students he feels
are sufficiently equipped to ap-
pear on the platform in prepared
works. Also, the grade. junior ant,
senior high school orcheStraS are
presenting program Wednesday
evening which should be an inter-
eStlng demonstration Of public
school musical instruction.
The Washington College of
Music presents two Teachers
Diploma RecitalS" this week.
Indeed, even in Washington,
Music week is filled with opportu-
mites for the inQuiring elders as
to the training and the progress
among the youngest generation,
muSically. Now is the time for all
earnest parents'to begin to see for
themselves and Judge by argu-
mentS more potent than the most
eloquent teachers tongue icSt
what is being done in Washington
for musical education. The re-
cital season is really on, blossom

dentS--itS founder and its eman-
cipator.> Surely it would complete
the picture if these young folks
might be gathered together in
song during Music week. with pro-
grams of such simple, worthwhile
numbers as might be prepared
throughout the year in schools all
over the country. Then, with the
service bands to add orchestral
color, what programs might be
given here.
OF course. it would be an excel
lent idea to have the orcheStras
prepare American works, such as
Critics ''Kubla Khan" George
GerShwin's. Rhapsody in Blue" :"
SouSa's marches, Victor Herbert S
many fine overtures from light
operas and suites, works by John
Alden Carpenter and others. The
National String Quartet could

which could be practically pre-
pared for presentation in such
program or series of programs
that would do credit to America
in Washington in Music week.
Music circles in Washington
should not strive less toward de
velopment and expression, but
rather widen the rippleS of their
endeavors TO national proportions.
THERE is one great obstacle that
L must be overcome in WASH
ington before the biggest things
can be satisfactorily and effective
ly done here muSically. Washing
ton should have an opera house.

comfortably seated. in a building
appropriately equipped with ex-
cellent acoustics. a big stage. stor-

and graceful auditorium.
Surely there Is q way in which
the people of Washington, vote
less but. persevering. and the
Of Congress and their
wives and families. to whom
Washington is a home at least
half a year. could get together and
raise funds in well knit organ
lied fashion to build such an au-
ditorium in Washington. To il.
in the Spring. the young people
from the congressional district;
all over the country could come
for Music week programs and feel
that they had personal ownership
in such a hall. An auditorium of
this type would not only fill the
local needs: it would also fill a
national need.
