Army Band Man Makes
Notable" Arrangements

~HE United States Army Band,
Cant. ]. w, Stannard, leader, has
lust been reassembled in Wash
ington and is about to begin
the orchestral season for the
Winter here. While Capt. Stannard
has had about half of his full quota
of IS :,,usicians with him on the tour,
WarranC Officer Theodore Bingert, an
assistant leader, was left to carry on"
in the National Capital with the re-
naming musicians. The bands tour
has carried on under Capt. Stannard
and Second Leader Thomas F. Darcy.
At home, Mr.. Bingert, commissioned py
the absent leader, has played a con-
cert program almost daily, due TO the
unusual activity of the present season
in washington. He also has won not
able praise for his achievements as an
arranger for band of unusual and often
very difficult music.
Mr.. Bingert has been attached to the
Army Band with the special duty OF
preparing arrangements for the fuH
band of folk music of the Latin Ameri-
can nations not now available tor band
use. AS the Army Band will visit Spain
next Spring and play series of 60 pro-
grams at the Ibero-American Exposi-
tion at Sevilla, the selections will be
confined entirely to works of New World
composers, and numbers calling for the
, use of indigenous instruments will be
especially featured.
Many Of the modern composers in
Latin America are utilizing themes de-
rived from the ritualistic ceremonials of
the aboriginal races. Mr.. Bingert
has shown marked proficiency in ar
ranging the melodies developed from
these ancient themes. Not only has his
musical education provided him with
unusual equipment for this work, but
! his natural ability in furnishing mill
| tary bands with arrangements where
effects approximating those produced
by symphonic orchestras are obtained
was recognized when "The Hymn to
| the Sum-" an outstanding selection
| from the great Peruvian composers
opera "Ollante" was rendered by the
Army Band. 1t has since become one OF
It's most popular selections and has oc-
cupied a prominent place on its pro-
| grams.
Another selection by Valle-Riestra,
"Elegia." arranged by Mr.. Bingcrt. was
/ a feature of the programs played
this season on the tour of the United
States. The arrangements for band of
f, the "Kiskaya" suite, by Justin Ellie,
has been equally successful and has be-
ccme a feature number in the Army
| Eand program. This is also true of Mr..
9ingerts arrangement Of Tho Yaqut
Dance" by Alvarado Ct Mexico.
Evening star., 1928-11-25

These arrangements will soon be
heard over the whole of the United
States, for 290 bands connected with
the United States Army and the State
militia are being supplied every three
months by the War Department and
Militia Bureau with from IL to Is COM
positions from Latin America, many of
which have been arranged by this tall
ented musician.
The ancient Mayan people, whose civ
ilization centered In Guatemala and
Yucatan, but whose influence was felt
over a much wider range, has left as an
/, inheritance musical themes that have
been utilized by modern Central Ameri-
can composers in orchestra numbers as
well as in operate form.
Maestro Castillo of Guatemala has
finished a suite for orchestra embodying
indigenous motifs, and one of the num-
bers from the suite has been arranged
for band and was first played on pro-
gram broadcast November %. In this
same program, under Mr.. Bingerts di-
rection, was rendered for the first time
excerpts from the opera Salvatore

poser, Carlos Comes. Comes is known

without being scrupulously honest,
just as there are people who can be
scrupulously honest whose vision is
narrow and whose souls never feel
the thrill of a large idealism.
In this whole episode Paul APP
pears in the light of an investor in
friendship. When he expresses
confidence that Philemon will full
fill his hopes and expectations he
is making a profound spiritual in
vestment. Such investments do
not always turn out well. There
are times when those whom we
most deeply trust betray all our
expectations.
In this case the probability is
that Paul's persuasive letter &C
complished its end or probably the
letter itself would have disap-
peared beneath the debris of his
tory. The likelihood is that it has
come down to us in the New Testa-
ment records because, as a great
piece of spiritual appeal, 1t ac-
complished its purpose.

he suggests to Philemon that there
is a certain principle of authority
in the matter, he puts his appeal
entirely upon the basis of love
That at the very outset was scorine
a point. 1t is strange, but the ap-
proach of love is the strongest ap-
proach that men can make in get
ting things accomplished.
In the next place Paul reveals
the spirit of a true Christian de-
mocracy. He manifests the very thing
upon which he wants both Philemon
and Onesimus to act by showing
that he is the friend and brother
equally, of the master and the
slave.
In the third place Paul reveals
a scrupulous regard for honesty in
the situation. He will not allow SEN
timental preferences, and even what
he thinks of as ideal courses, to OBJ
literate the sheer honesty of the sit
uation and the types of righteous
ness demanded. Philemon has GER
tain obligations as a master and as
a Christian, and Onesimus, on the
other hand, has certain obligations
as slave and as a Christian. Paul
indicates to each that he is not dis
regarding these responsibilities.
He is willing to assume, himself,
any financial debt that Onesimus
had incurred in relation to Phile-
mon. 1t is one thing to say to a
man that he should forgive another
a debt, but quite another thing to
say that if the debt has to be paid,
one will pay it oneself. There are
many people who can be idealistic

GREAT ORCHESTRA
WILL GIVE CONCERT

The Minneapolis. Symphony or
cheStra which plays here on Monday
evening, Feb. II, in the second of
the indianapolis Symphony So
ciety series, is known in Minneapolis
and the northwest as the logical
epilogue to psychological pro-
logue." Or, to phrase it differently,
this orchestra, so far as it's home
constituency is concerned, is the in
eyitable result of quite obvious
causes. Simply, the Minneapolis
Symphony, of necessity came into
existence. 1t happened this way:
Back in 1903, when the orchestra
was organized, Minneapolis made
proud boast of one of the best
choral organizations in the country.
This was the Philharmonic Club, an
organization of more than 300 mixed
voices. Four times each year, the
philharmonic" as the singers were
called, gave concerts of standard
choral works.
And every time they appeared,
their praises were sung unStintingly
by the critical fraternity. But al
ways, there was the criticism that
the singers lacked an adequate or
cheStral accompaniment to their
fine work. The reason for this was
quite obvious: the orchestra that
played accomplishments was diff
ferent one at each concert, because
the players were hired more or less
indiscriminately, and their rehears-
ais were necessarily, only make-shift
affairs.
One man in Minneapolis, Ebert
l.. Carpenter, a lumberman, saw an
opportunity, and Immediately set
about to improve upon it. He
gathered together his own friends,
pointed out to them the necessity
of maintaining an orchestra perma-
nently, and asked these friends to
join him in subscribing $4,000 a
year for three year period, to
make up the deficits that we're seen
as inevitable. In half an hour, Mr..
Carpenter had laid the foundation
for the future Minneapolis SYM
phony, Mr.. Emil Oberhoffer, Direc-
Dor of the choral body, the
Philharmonic club, was engaged as
conductor of the orchestra, and on
Thursday evening, Nov. 5, 1908, the
orchestra played its first formal
concert, Marcella Sembrich, So
prano, was the soloist ofrthe eve
ming.
Then twenty-five years later, it
was on a Friday evening, Nov.

THIS lesson is unusual in that it
Il takes as it's text almost an en-
tire book of the Bible and the one
chapter book, Philemon, is notable
for the personal nature Of the mat
ter with which it deals. Assuredly
it provides an excellent text for the
present lesson in it's revelation of
Paul'S spirit.
Here was a delicate situation
one that tried out the Christian
spirit and good judgment of g man
in relation to his friends and fellow
Christians. There was a question
of possible injustice at stake, and
that in two directions.
Paul was writing to the master,
Philemon, whose slave, Onesimus,
had run away. Slaves were at that
time as much property as any other
property. Slavery was an estab-
lished institution, and it is quite
possible that except in rare circum-
stances these early Christians were
not freer-minded and more gener-
Gus in relation to their property
than are protesting Christians of
later age. Touch a man on his
property rights and his Christian
sentiments and principles are apt
to vanish, or to be rather seriously
eclipsed, unless he be a remarkably
good and devoted Christian.
aggrieved because his slave ran
away and quite ready to resent any
disposition even on the part of a
Christian teacher to tell him what
he ought to do with his own prop
erty. On the other hand, Onesimus
could hardly have been quite happy
and satisfied, or he would not have
run away. Although he had become
a Christian, probably after his flight
and his contact with Paul he might
have been equally ready to resent
Paul's suggestion that he should
! return to his bondage.
Paul had very delicate matter
to deal with from every standpoint
Note carefully how Paul handled
the situation. First of all observe
his method. He might have used
authority and the method of asser-
ton. He might have preached
Philemon a sermon on slavery, and
perhaps have expressed some scath-
ing comment upon the lack of real
Christianity of a protesting Christ
ian who kept another Christian dis
ciple in bondage.
But Paul waves aside any such
privilege or temptation and, while

music. The service will be broad
