The guest artist on this occasion.
is to be Mischa Elman, violinist. AL
though born and educated in Russia,
Mischa Elman first took out his cit
izenship papers to become an Ameri-
can citizen in 1908 when on his first
concert tour in this country, and Is
now a naturalized Citizen. Elman has
always said that America is the coun-
try of the artist; it is the country OF
self-expression whose laws are suitable
to artistic and natural ideas"
1t is interesting that both Elman
and Ormandy have had the violin as
their special instrument for musical
expression. Because of this. the
Tschaikowsky concerto should have
doubly sympathetic reading under
the combined gifts Of these two and
with the always superb playing Of the
great organization that is the Phil
adelphia Symphony Orchestra.

AUXILIARY UNIT
OF CHORAL UNION

FOLLOWING its monthly rehearsal
at the Church of the Epiphany on
Tuesday evening. the National Choral
Union announces the formation Of an
auxiliary unit, to accommodate indi-
viduals and small groups Of choirs
not already affiliated with the union.
The Choral Union, as previously an
nounced, was primarily founded as
combination Of church choirs only.
This was q necessity to provide op-
portunities for weekly rehearsals, in
addition to the monthly massed re-
hearsals. Since its beginning. the
value and scope Of the unions work
has attracted such widespread in
terest from individuals not directly
afhliated with choirs cooperating in
the movement that 1t has been found
necessary to make additional provi-
sions.
Persons interested may secure fur
ther information concerning these
auxiliary rehearsals by addressing the

adopted country loyalty through the
war, which meant greater sorrow to
her than to many others; who melted
the hearts Of many an unseen listener
even in her last broadcast, this great

in becoming an artist, the musician
should not forget to be the great
souled individual.
ID ECENTLY, in the columns Of this
~ newspaper, a prominent chorus
group of nearby Bethesda was referred
to as reviving "the old-time singing
school of a former generation" This
felicitous description awakened a nos
talgia for the forgotten charm and
simplicity of another decade and at
the same time started a train OF
thought applicable to the present era.
The group in question is made up
of ladies who love to sing and have

of the old songs" to quote the article
mentioned. The work which this cho-

in furthering their knowledge of folk
songs of all nations. At present they
are preparing q program Of Irish.

The youngest generation will know
little about the old-fashioned singing

they have not actually taken part in
one, will at any rate remember hear
ing of the delights of this form Of
social activity Of their parents. In the
early days, when the singing school
fiourihed, there were no concerts,
opera or radio. The only means OF
sharing music was through the for
nation of such group. Someone

in song programs and the vocal art.
IN FRIENDLY unity, the singers
sang their favorite songs and in
creased their knowledge and appreci-
alton of music. There was absence OF
vanity, yet the work was not less thor
ough because it was marked with SIM
plicity and sincerity. Today, singing
groups are known by the more preten-
tious name Of Choral Society" with
an accompanying increase in ambi-
ton. There is the vision of public
appearances, Of praise from admirers
and importance in the public eye. The
charming picture Of friends and neigh
bors gathering for the love Of music
and earnestly and unobtrusively try
ing to better their knowledge through
song, is a rare one in this sophisticated
age.
We need more of this type Of en-
deavor in every community. What in
dividuals do Is important, Of course,
but when representative group Is
animated by such truth-seeking spirit
the real purpose of music Is served.
Music is friendly art, meant to be
shared, and the singers of Bethesda
are to be congratulated on bringing
back the old method that kept alive
the love of music in the earlier gen.
erations. The very name of singing
school" conjures up a wealth Of ten
der associations, immortalized, too, by
many classic writer's. and sets this
group in distinctly original niche OF
its own making.

composer had been guilty Of conscious
derivation.
THE work starts with a soft roll OF
the tympani and a long clarinet
melody. After this the actual move
ment begins with a superb and ex-
citing theme, which Is developed i'm
mediately and which not until quite
a little later is followed by two sec
ondary themes, which have one a
wistful, mysterious, the other a nearly
lyric soaring quality. The develop
ment of these themes leads Sibelius
through a long maze Of different
moods. until in the end the main
theme returns in great splendor.
The second movement is a long
fantasy, starting on an elegiac theme.
And again a long development follows,
in which all kinds Of fantasies are
allowed TO roam freely, also again
to return to a full return statement
of the initial theme.
The third movement is typical OF
Sibelius at his fullest and best, with
an uncompromising continuance Of a
rhythmic figure during the main part
of the scherzo and part of the trio.
and a return to the scherzo proper.
with a nearly frantic ending.

nearly rhapsodie nature. with a sec
ond theme of such beauty and
poignancy that it can be truly re-
garded, even among Sibelius'. as one
of his greatest inspirations. This is
saying much. as we know by now it
is just this kind of Sibelius which
in a time Of melodic dearth stands
out as a source of satisfaction to
all of us who at times are in need,
yes crave, melody. pure and simple.
I would like to call particular at
tention to the curious ending, which
is eminently Sibelius. He has said
what he has to say; there is no more
fanfare of padding; two pizzicato
chords suddenly end the work. 1t
is a typical gesture which. however,
has no manner connected with it.
I hesitate to give more than the
sketchiest and technical impression
of this work 1t has to be heard TO
be understood. To try and put into
words what it means to me is like

full or the bloom will vanish, and
