A Fine Musician Passes.
BY ROBERT w. SEICHRIsT.

FRIENDS and former pupils Of Will
berfoss @. Owst we're shocked to
learn Of his passing on, suddenly. at
his home IN Baltimore. Tuesday morn
ing, January II. He appeared to be
well early that morning, and the eve
ming before had been spent talking
with friends, while finishing new
symphonic work for orchestra. Having
been In falling health for several years,
since 1928 he had practically retired
from his former activities.
Mr.. OWst was born in 1861, at
London, England He was pupil OF
Eaton flaming and II. Gadsby. He also
studied at Kings College, London.
After three years study Of law he went
TO Stuttgart, Germany, where seven
years were spent with Drs. Faisst,
Goetschius. Klengel. and Profs. Doppler
and Zumpe. He came to America as
an organist for years serving in that
capacity at st. Michaels and All Angels
Church, and at ST Johns Church,
Waverly, Baltimore He taught har-
mony and composition at the Washing
ton College Of Music for more than 20
years, and was music critic for the
Baltimore Sun for many years.
AS teacher, Mr.. OWst not only had
the gift of imparting knowledge. but
had a marvellous knowledge TO impart.
To any question that might be asked.
he had ready answer, and he had
that happy faculty of making his
answers clear Some of the more
frivolous, uninterested pupils may have
thought him bit exacting, but to the
serious. attentive pupil he always ex-
tended a helping hand. While he en-
couraged the pupil to express his own
individuality, he insisted upon knowl-
edge of the natural laws OF musical
composition first, breaking rules only
when justified by artistic conditions.
He hated lawlessness and insincerity;
that Is why he was not in sympathy
with many of the modernists Of today.
He believed that beauty should be
sought after rather than effect" for
, he held that music was more art than
science 1t must not be thought. then,
that he favored composing by cold.

would he repeat to US "Monotonv is

rather than the heart that he so dis
liked the music Of that composer. On

admiration for Cesar Franck, who, he
felt, truly had the divine spark" He

also stressed the bright cheerful ele-
ment In music. and had little use for
that which was morbid or melancholy.
Finally. Mr.. Owst was a man who never
formed his opinions hastily or without
foundation. and when once formed nc
had the courage to stand up for them,
at variance though they we're with
much Of the newer. so-called "devel-
opments" Of the art
50 when that brave soul lifted
anchor when upon the harp Of life It
made that great meditation into key
from which no one modulates back
again, the musical world found itself
the poorer for IT, and In the hearts OF
those who came to love him no one can
ever quite take his place.
Besides numerous songs. anthems
works for violin, piano, etc, Mr.. Owst
composed. the official hymn for the
jamestown Exposition, a n1elodrama.
The White Ship: The Message OF
the Winds" cantata: Rose Of the
Garden" for chorus of mixed voices.
and "Menuett Fur Zwei Piapoforte."

singer should know. These and other
