To its already large library of over
100 standard symphonic works. the
National Symphony this past season
added four major symphonies-the
Eighth of Beethoven, Brahms Sec
ond, Mozart'S Cessation" and the
Chausson work, as we'll as such works
as Richard StrauS' Death and Trans
figuration," Tschaikowsky's Francesca
da Rimini," Rimsky-Korsakov's "Sche-
heraZade," "Liszt's "Tasso," Stravin-
sky's Fire Bird" and many shorter
compositions, including overtures like
Wagners Flying Dutchman," Beet
hoven's "Prometheus" and "Coriola-
nus" Tschaikowsky's Nut Cracker
Suite" and Weber's 'Euryanthe. This
by no means exhauSts the list; IS COM
positions were added to the orchestra S
repertoire this year.
And with GabriloWitsch. Albert
Spalding, Ernest Hutcheson, Guiomar
Novaes and Gloria Perkins as soloists,
Kinder and his men gave five con-
certos by Brahms, Schumsnn, Men
delssohn and Beethoven (two). In
addition, de Falla's eel Amor Brujo"
was given in its entirety for the first
time in Washington, with Sophie Bras
lau as soloiSt.
Considering the extraordinarily
large attendance at these concerts, this
brief resume shows that Washington
is definitely and finally in need of its
own orchestra in succeeding years.
Such a large portion of the concert
going public will never again be salts
fed with the meager fare which would
be available if the National Symphony
were not to continue.

lem of financing its orchestra
4 Il for another season, for with
out its existence during the
past year, the major portion of the
music played, especially the symphonic
music, would not have been heard
at all.
Records show, according to C. G.
Cappel, manager of the National Sym
phony Orchestra, that more than
10000 admissions were paid at the
Sunday and symphony series concerts
during the past season. This does not
include the many Thousands of chill
dren who heard the eight programs
given in Central High School.
The persons who attended these
concerts heard, besides a generous re-
pertoire of music, an unusual number
of compositions new to the Capital.
These included Chausson's Symphony
in B Flat Major" the Oriental tram
scriptions by Henry Eichheim; the
ultra modern Ring" by Philip Lazar;
Edward Potter's Montana Sketches; +;
Spier's "Bowery Impressions; John
Powell's famous "Rhapsodie Negre." !"
for piano and orchestra; Sibelius'
swan of Tuonela" and George Schu-
manns Dance of the Nymphs and
Satyrs." All of this music, it is safe
to say, would not have been heard if
the National Symphony had not been
here to present it. The fact that
10000 tickets were sold demonstrates
clearly that the Capitals musical ap-
petite will never again be adequately
served by visiting orchestras alone.

When chance secured him the pro-
lection of the Elector of Hanover, the
germ of wanderluSt aSsailed him so
strongly that he was willing to ex-
change the security of his homeland
for the unknown future that awaited
him in England. Although strong in
his German nationality, he felt the
call of other nations and did not hesi-
tate to take on the citizenship of
country whose language he never
mastered completely. In England,
still guided by his three gifts, he was
lifted to the pinnacle of popular favor,
showered with kingly favors and en-
riched with worldly wealth. He was
given free play for his artistic fancies,
had the greatest artists of his day
aocking to his opera and saw his
theater crowded with the elite of the
fashionable world.
When all this had been accom-
pliShed he was made to learn the
power of jealous enemies. the sting of
public ridicule, the desertion cf per-
Sonal friends and artistic colaborators.
He was thrust into more hurting pow
erty than he had ever experienced
and suffered the indignity of clamor-
ing creditors and the bitter knowledge
Of artistic failure. He saw his enemies
rise to imperial favor his own theater
taken from him and filled for his
rivals performance while he was
forced to a side street and the
ignominy of drumming up an audi
ence. His most successful work was
stolen, his singers enticed away. his
fame and social standing undermined
with cruel jests and untruths.
Again the tide turned. when he
seemed to have reached the depths. A
storm of ecclesiastical and royal pro-
test against the performance of a
work with sacred text in costume and
with scenery, aroused the fighting
spirit again and gave birth to the
idea of a sacred story, simply pre-
Sented, and thus the oratorio came to
life. An invitation to Dublin, and
again the acclaim Of crowded houses.

Handel wished to die on Good Fri
day. For the entire Holy week he lay
on his bed with his sightless eyes
turned upward waiting for his re-
lease. On the morning of Good Fri
day he made his final farewell to his
few friends. asked that no one be ad-
mitted to his room as he had now
done with the world, and before the
dawning of another day had passed
away. And from that day onward the
musical world has echoed the dying
words of Beethoven when he pointed
to the works of Handel and said:

in listening to his oratorios the sense
of renewal of courage is felt like

glory not to be dimmed by the pass

Regarding the life of Handel, one
might almost think him the plaything
of fate, a being especially designed
to test the staying quality of human
ity against the tricks of an unknown
interfering power. The boy Handel
was put into the world with three
weapons for the battle at his COM
mand: supreme gift for music
rock-like determination to succeed
and unwavering honesty of outlook
Then began the batting of this bit
of humanity by a fate resourceful in
invention. Against the firm resolu-
ton of his father that he should
never study music as a profession was
placed a sympathetic Aunt Anna and
a prince who decreed that the boy
should not be hindered. A friend was
provided for him in the person of
Mattheson, to introduce him into
musical circles, and enemies to work
against his growing popularity in
Hamburg. With the fetters of pow
