"H1S is that happy tlme OF
year when composers and
near-composers lie in the
L sun and wait for inSpira-
ton. There are, of course, hot
weather and cold weather COM
posers, but Spring and Summer ere
sometimes most provocative OF
work. You will hear, for instance,
that author X and composer z have
gone to Provence to spend the
Summer in mental exercises, and
that at Senlis, in France, Louis
Brom1ield is writing his next book,
while Hans Kinder, his neighbor,
mullS over plans for his new SYM
phony programs. You will hear,
too, what Washington composers
are threatening to do, after par
ticularly suspicious seaSon-a sea-
son in which many new works
have bobbed up and been found
to be tried and true.
If memory serves right the
Washington composers score
board was we'll marked this Win
ter. Mary Howe led the list-be-
ing a national winner as we'll as
the composer CT a "dirge' played
bv the National Symphony. But
in the forefront Of further mu-
steal achievements were works by
La Sale Spier Ibis "Ballade,' for
instance: Dorothy Radde Emery,
Henry S. GregOr, expert in &tmoS-
pheric expression; Alden Flnckel,
whose works. usually in manu-
script, suggest great possibilities
for the future, and Karl Holer.
With the past season a definite
success. and the new one likely to
be doubly so, Mrs. Wilson Greene's
list and those of the T. Arthur
Smith Concert Bureau and Mrs.
Lawrence Townsend, as we'll as
the National Symphony plans be-
ing particularly suspicious, those
who would write things musical
are being urged to do SO by two
organizations. who will help the
promotion OF such things in more
vavs than che. These are the
Juilliard School Of Music and the
Society fo- the Publication OF
American Music, which is now re-
caiving manuscripts of chamber
music compositions by American
composers for its l4th annual
competition for publication.
The Juilliard School has an
nounced its competition for pub
LEGATION of new orchestral works.
Word from this organization says:
Through this competition. which
results in the publication of new
and outstanding works, their per-
Torrance by the major orchestraS
is facilitated. The Juilliard School
of Music selects a given work from
the entries and pays for the pub
LEGATION of it. The composer re-
ceives all royalties and fees &C
cruing from the sale or perform
ance of his work. The school also
co-operateS with the composer in
securing for his work adequate
rehearsal and performance. Dur
ing the past four years orchestral
compositions by Arthur Sheppard,
Daniel Gregory Mason, Louis
Gutenberg. Werner Josten,
Charles Martin Loeffler and Har-
old Morris have heen published
The terms of the competition
are:
Compositions must be by ma
tiVe-born or naturalized American
citizens.
