Pilgrims Chorus and overture

Mems Glee Club.
The Faust" work, which Hans
Kinder, conductor. brings to Wash
ington music lovers for the first time,
is one of two generally considered the
composers greatest orchestral works.
Dedicated to the composer, Hector
Berhoz, the Faust" work had its pre-
miere with List conducting in 1857
at Weimar. Because of the choral
requirements the work, though re-
ceived warmly and considered impor-
tant, has seldom been repeated. In
fact, its presentation in Washington
is attracting wide attention in other
cities among music lovers.
After this concert DR.. Kinder and
his men will be occupied with COM
pleting plans for the last of the sea-
sons students concerts next Satur-
day morning at Constitution Hall.
This will be the first time that one
of the programs for school boys and
girls has been taken to the regular
concert hall of the symphony, and the
affair will be festive one.

successfully on the Thursday after

turn to Washington for this students

tor of music in Washington public

FOR long period of time. the dance
art gave little place to more than
the presentation of the graceful and
poetic. The technique for the moods,
charming as it was for the eye and
refreshing for the mind, was not ade-
quate to the expression Of cruder emo
tions or the stark realism which occu-
pies the larger portion Of the scheme
of life. A new technique has been
born through the agency of adventur-
Gus and -visioned seekers, who
would have the dance take its rightful
place as an art expression of power
and of world forces.
The difficulties which face these in
novators who would broaden the
horizon of the dance are very great,
for they must be able to judge the
dimensions with peculiar accuracy,
if the artistic boundary is to be kept
intact. The slightest error will bring
in the grotesque or, worse still, the
inane. The new type of dance art
can attract only those who think
deeply and feel profoundly, and whose
vision, directed by intelligence and
cultivation. is correct in the minutest
details. Mere bodily grace will not
project the picture. for it Is relegated
to place of secondary importance,
to give room to the forceful delivery of
the idea.
As yet, the new departure is still in
its first esSaying phase, but enough
has been seen to invite speculation
as to the future possibilities of the
dance for interpreting every phase of
life. What has been demonstrated
this Winter-aS one instance, the re-
markable performance of THE Green
Table" by the JooSS Ballet-has been
a revelation and has done much to
minimize the importance of the ballet
as a pure entertainment form. There
is much yet TO be done, and the public
will have to be educated to accepting
the progress which will undoubtedly
follow.
THERE is no department of life that
cannot be interpreted through the
fulness. Many centuries have passed
since the dance was used in religious
ceremonies. and its quasi-decadence
can be dated from the cessation of
this art form in connection with sacred
subjects. The glimpse which has been
given of the dignity which can be in
fused into the dance makes it under
standable how effective it was even IN
the realm of religion. Before music
as a part of the ritual was permissible,
the dance was used. and 1t is possible
that its sacred character will again
be captured by the thoughtful artists
who are sincerely seeking to uplift and
broaden the dance power of expression
To such a dedication will be drawn a
new type of artist, who is dominated
by sincerity and idealism, who plumbs
the depths of true sentiment, and gives
it out for the betterment of humanity.

Recital Date
Postponed

A ANNOUNCEMENT is made by
Dorothy Hodgkin Dorsey, concert
impresario, that the song recital by
Gladys Swarthout mezzo-soprano of
the Metropolitan Opera Association
and star of the screen success Rose
Of the Rancho" originally announced
for March at Constitution Hall and
later changed to Sunday afternoon
March 90. at 4 o'clock, cannot be
given until next season, owing to
changes in Miss Swarthout's itinerary.
The SWarthout recital, originally
to March 90 in order to permit Grace
Moore to appear here on the earlier
date, but in the meantime Miss
Swarthout has been requested to re-
port to Hollywood to begin production
work on her next picture, THE Count
Of Luxembourg" as soon as the Metro
politan Opera season closes in New
York, and as result it will be i'm
possible for her to appear here this
season.
Mrs. Dorsey hopesJ however, that
recital by Miss Swarthout can be ar
ranged as one of the features of the
1867 recital season in the Capital.
Further details of such performance
will be announced later
A superb program Of piano music,
including four etudes, a nocturne and
scherzo by Chopin, Beethoven's

logically and musically right and in
evitable.
The next movement is simpler, more
lyrical, more gentle. The Faust" mo-
tive appears, but It Is Gretchen" the
perfect embodiment Of love, which
predominates.
THE third movement is the spirit Of
"Mephistopheles" personified. No
longer do purely musical ideas pre-
dominate. After the first impetuous
part a veritably diabolical fugue starts
in which every motive of the previous
movements Is rent asunder The
themes of doubt, of revolt, of passion,
of desire for life are torn and treated
with the flercest possible kind of
irony After another wild climax
there appears suddenly the Gretchen"
melody of the second movement.
There the Devil himself has to abb
stain from using his vile powers. But
crush her he can, and does so In a
still more violent passage, only to spend
his powers and to be defeated in the
end by the spirit of "das ewig wei
bliche." It is then that the chorus
enters with an epilogue involving the
supernatural and things Of the spirit
only.
AS have said before, the work un-
doubtedly has weak points. but so have
works by other great artists! Appre-
citation depends upon taste, upon con.
viction and a point of view But,
apart from appreciation and personal
reaction, no one can deny the over
whelming amount of inspiration as
well as the high and noble faith which
was at the foundation of this work.
From purely historical standpoint,
the fact that this work was written
well-nigh l0C years ago, and that 1t
proved to be the inspiration for many
ensuing great artists, principally wag.
ner, makes it all the more remark.
able. And it is in this spirit that I
have combined some of Wagner's
works with the performance of LisZt's
symphony.
