Spanish composers have always peen
not only national in their musical
sentiments, but regional The geo.
graphical divisions of Spain bring
complete difference in temperament
end manners which are given the
purest expression in the folk song lit
erature. Even Manuel de Falla, edu-
Gated in Paris and strongly influ-
enced by the Debussy trend, returned
to his native idiom to gain his great
est renown. Both he and Turina,
sons of Andalusia, have glorified their
native folk tunes for the qualification
of the entire musical world.
In Catalonia, Tomas Breton, Enric
Morera, Luis Millet and Juan Manen,
famous violinist turned composer,
have immortalized the music that
sprang from the soil Of their province
in imperishable manner, while the
modern Jesus Guridi has utilized the
Spanish Basque melodies in new and
effective works.
The world has given first place to
several Spanish artists, but to none
to the same extent as that enjoyed by
Pablo Casals, the famous cellist. Apart
from his concert career, CaSalS de-
votes himself to a musical organiza-
ton which he founded for the musi-
cal education of the working classes
in his country. The Laborers' Con-
cert Association. which came into ex-
| istence some years ago, now claims
| a membership Of 5000. Only day
laborers or factory hands can join the
association, which rigidly scrutiniZeS
the truth of their claim as workers.
Last year the hundredth concert was
celebrated, beginning with cello con-
cert by the founder exclusively for
members. Other programs included
Beethoven's. "Eroica Symphony"
Brahms Piano Concerto" and works
OF Bach and other classics.
SPANS celebrated conductor, Fer
nandez ArboS, tells of the reactions of
audiences in his tour throughout the
provinces where he took his orchestra
on an experimental venture. Once,
after playing the Brandenburg Con-
| certo in G Major" for three violins,
celloS and baSses, two encores had to
be given and at the end a voice
shouted "Gracias a Dios, this is
music" After a village concert, a
peasant was heard to remark Ca
ramba! And to think that after hav-
ing listened to such music we have
to harness now our mules and till
| the earth" A successful concert was
given in a bull ring. The next day a
! laborer in typical costume, driving his
oxen before him, met the famous con-
ductor and stopped to speak to him.
| Are you Maestro Arbos? May I
! clasp your hand, for last night
/ was at the concert and we all went
mad. We did not know whether to
applaud or run up on the stage. We
, did not know what to do but if at any
time you should be in need of friends,
write to Aragon where we shall give
our blood for you"
He put on his hat" continued
Senor Arbos. "taped his oxen and
walked off like a grandee."

Following the revolution a splendid
program was Immediately outlined,
containing some striking musical re-
forms which this country could do
we'll to emulate. Unfortunately, lack
of finances prevented the carrying out
of much of it, but the records are
there, Endorsed by the National Music
Council, and undoubtedly will be full
filled, as planned, at the first op-
portunity. Following the policies of
the SovietS and the Germans, the
greatest stress is laid on the preserva-
ton of native talent. While hospi-
tality is encouraged toward all foreign
music, the main object was to be the
fostering of composition and the pro-
duction of works of the younger
Spanish composers.
A point of special interest at this
time, when the same question is being
seriously considered in Washington,
was the contemplation of a national
lyric theater with some innovations
not yet included in the American
project. Side by side with the ma
tional opera was to have been an
experimental theater where old, more
recent and the truly new works could
be tried out as to their worthineSS
of being a part of the opera repertoire
of the main theater. A splendid idea,
saving expense and the feelings of
hof oYd anthnr IN addition
there was to be, or will be when the
time is ripe, school for the ballet
where the Spanish art will be more
fully developed, and choral academy.
This is not all, for the originators
of these plans took courageous hold
of CGle of Americas greatest operate
problems, that of producing opera in
the vernacular. Heretofore the Span
ish opera had been under the domina-
tion of the Italians, principally be-
cause of publishing rights. This
abuse led to the astonishing spectacle
Of a Spanish opera, composed by a
Spaniard to a nbretto in Spanish on
q Spanish subject, sung by Spanish
cast and chorus, accompanied by a
Spanish orchestra, conducted by a
Spaniard at the Royal Opera In
Madrid, having to be translated into
Italian before permission for its pro-
duction could be had. and sung in
that language. For many years the
non-subsidized Royal Opera has had
to bow before this Italianism of all
things operatic.
The exact wording of the Music
Councils declaration of independence
is as follows: "The National Opera
will be organized with the aim to per-
form all works in Castillian The
tranSlations will be intrusted to the
best poets, familiar with the language
translated, and with them will collab-
crate competent musician to assist
them in the metric adaptation and
accent. In the case of operas pre-
sented by companies wholly composed
of foreign artists of the same ma
tionality as the composer of the score
an exception will be made in the rule
prescribing singing in Castillian."

After leading off the National Sym
phony Orchestra Sunset Symphony"
season with last weeks two brilliant
opening concerts, DR.. Hans Kinder,
general musical director Of the Sum-
mer series, today turns the conductors
stand over to the first Of his guest
conductors, Antonia Srico, conductor
Of the New York Women's Symphony
Orchestra, who has arrived from her
home in California to take charge Of
the second weeks programs at the
Watergate. She will make her debut
before a Washington audience at 8
o'clock tonight.
Recognized over the country as a
dynamic baton master, Miss Brico
comes to Washington prepared to re-
peat her sensational performances,
not only before her own orchestra,
but before mems symphony organiza-
tions in New York, In Detroit and in
other music centers Of America and
Germany.
While adhering to DR.. Kindler's
policy of offering Sunset" patrons
works drawn from both the great
symphonic repertoire and that of the
popular classics, Miss Brico has ar
ranged two programs of her own
favorites.
To assist her she will have two
soloists, a pianist and violinist oi
