but that if it comes along they

: MARK HELLINGER.
Stokowski j
Has Novel
Program
A program of moods and con-

A program of moods and con-
trasts.
That, in a word. sums up the
brilliant work of DR.. Leopold
Stokowski and his Philadelphia
Orchestra last night at Constitu-
ton Hail.
Stokowski, in his concerts this
season, is planning a highly inter
esting experiment. He will at
tempt to trace the growth Of the
symphony from it's earliest forms
to the extremely difficult produc-
tions of the ultra modernists.
Early Symphonic Examples
In his first concert, DR.. Stokow-
ski gave examples of symphonic
development from the neighbor-
hood of 1867 to the early years
of the Eighteenth Century.
The audience was agreeably
surprised to note that the ancient
works were not old-faShioned or
thin" They are amazingly mod
ern. It might be whispered that
Stokowski, in arranging the old
masters for his series, did bit
of dressing up here and there.
The result was truly amazing.
The maestro chose Monteverdi
as his starting point, the or
chestra playing the "Orpheus
and Eurydice" prelude in one OF
the composers earliest operas.
The prelude is so modern as to
be almost identical in structure
with Wagnerian efforts composed
nearly 200 years later.
The work opens with a blast
of brasSes and tympani, followed
somewhat abruptly by quieter
theme, pastoral in quality, with
the woodwinds predominating.
Contrasting Moods
Five short, excerpts from the
works of Lulli are contrasting
moods-the notturno from lie
Triomphe de pamour" a bit of
truly beautiful music. pellucid as
a water spring; the second
march from These" a brief, but
stirring, effort.
In the menuetto we find
stately old-fashioned dance. Here
again we suspect DR.. Stokowski
of slyly dipping his brush in his
great palate of tonal colors and
decking the number in more
modern raiment.
Purcell's Trumpet March" was
clear cut as an antique cameo.
There's no mistaking this work
its as British as crumpets and
shandygaff.
Vivaldi's concerto in D minor,
"L'Estro Armonico," came to a
thrilling climax in blaze of
light and color. r
Rameaus overture to- the
tragedy Castor ct $Pollux,"
played in Washington for the
first time, shimmered like spark
ling Burgundy. One could trace
the influence of Lulli on the
French pre-classicist.
Handel and Bach Delight
The second half of the pro-
gram consisted of the Water
Music" of Handel and five gor-
geous numbers of Bach. These in
cluded the famous toccata and
fugue in D minor, the prelude in
E flat minor. the G minor fugue
and two transcriptions from Ger
man choral numbers.
DR.. Stokowski's program was
an educational experiment. How
we'll it succeeded can be de-
termined from the extravagant
expressions of the crowd that filed
from Constitution Hall at the con-
clusion of the concert.
