songs but has composed a number Of
the songs, based on theme Of the
folklore. It is unfortunate that Mr..
Nardi has made the accompaniments
so elaborate, for such pianistic back
ground for the simple music Of the
people destroys its value as folk music.
Throughout the program the accom-
paniments lacked variety. the same
figure being used over and over again
with occasionally a modification of
the elaborate treatment.
The first group contained four ira
ditional medieval poems, the first an
ancient prayer Of the Jews of Persia,
the second a medieval Spanish-Jewish
poem sung to an old Yemenite tune,
the third Yemenite melody with the
poem of Shalom ShabaZi famous
Yemenite Hebrew poet of the seven-
teenth century, and the fourth pray
er Of Mordeci Aviation to an old Turk
ish melody in the rhythm of the der
wishes. All were arranged by Mr.. Nardi
and in these Miss Zfirah gave graphic
interpretations to the almost Oriental
themes.
Composed by Mr.. Nardi.
The second group were songs conf
posed by Mr.. Nardi, based on themes
of the Emek and of Galilee, the singer
rising to the height of exultation in
the "Naoloza ve-Nismcha," the words
by NJ Weiner q shepherd of the
colony of Bet-Alpha, Let Us Be Glad
and Rejoice" song for sheep-shear-
ing time.

Sorbed in the beauty Of the idea.
Nothing lovelier has been heard than
the second movement with it's deli
cate stressing of small climaxes and
its warmth and tenderness of thought.
The other movements were vitalized
by intelligently directed temperament
and by expressive tone and lovely
flowing scale passages. Miss Hess is
an authoritative artist, yet her posi-
tiveness Is hidden under the wealth
of beauty it Is her gift to discover in
all she undertakes. Five or six times
she was recalled by the enthusiasm
Of the audience, the last time bringing
DR.. Kinder with her and insisting
the orchestra share the ovation for its
prominent part in her success.
For the final number, the Jupiter
Symphony, the orchestra seemed to
gather all its resources to the inter-
probation Of this masterpiece, which
finishes with a superb concentration
of power in the last movement. The
entire reading was given with the end
in view, yet the many melodic phrases,
the graceful "menuetto" and the
more emotional color of the andante
were carefully stressed. DR.. Kinder
conducted vigorously and from his
heart, infusing his men withthe same
feelings which animated him. It was
a splendid conclusion Of splendid
program and left the audience loath

1t is debatable whether any mu-
sial community IS above the neces-
sity of hearing, from time to time, an
entire program Of one composers
works. So quickly does the individual
think of the particular compositions
which appeal to him, that the entire
scope of the composers talent Is lost
sight of. Nothing better shows the
rise and fall Of his inspiration or, as
in Mozart's case, its continual fresh
ness than hearing the things that
were written at different periods and
under different circumstances. For
the opportunity to broaden ones con-
ceptions and solidify ones ideas, the
concert public should be grateful to
DR.. Kinder for his presentation occa-
sionally of program all from one pen,
period or country.
Greater Veneration.
The choice of numbers yesterday
was so indivisibly connected with
the life of Mozart that involuntarily
the thought was directed to pictorial
ization of the circumstances under
which he lived, and, as final conse-
quence, to greater veneration for
his genius. And q further thought
could not but intrude, a marveling at
the manner in which he met his dill.
culties with vigor, untarnished bright
ness and inexhaustible richness of
ideas.
The first two numbers, Der
Schauspieldirektor," written by order
of the Emperor for a festival at court,
and the "Maurerische Trauermusik," I"
written for two deceased members Of
the Masonic order in which Mozart
was active, represents his duties
toward society; the Concerto in D
Minor" composed for the first of
series Of six concerts he was giving
in Vienna, his personal career, and
the Symphony in c Major" the
Jupiter" his devotion to his family
and the need Of providing for them.
Der Schauspieldirektor" and the
"Maurerische Trauermusik" are in
moods as wide apart as the poles, yet
they depict the very essence of
Mozart's talent for gayety or sorrow
In music. Small morsels, both Of
them, in comparison to the concerto
or symphony, but written with the
same care and completeness.
Miss Hess in her superb playing
proved herself as fine q Mozart
scholar as q Brahms. Through her
technical presentation she seems to
lift up the intrinsic meaning of the
music to the light in such . manner

~ the rare gift Of Interpretation
last evening in a recital Of
- folk music of her race, includ-
ing many Of the traditional songs Of
old Palestine. The recital was given
in the auditorium of the National
Press Club for the benefit of the
Pioneer Women of Palestine. 1t was
arranged by the Jewish National
Workers Alliance. The auditorium
was crowded and the audience en-
thusiastic over her work. She is young
and of the more Oriental type of
beauty, her hands, which she uses
constantly. unusually expressive, add
much to her facial expression in the
interpreting Of the various moods in
the songs. Her voice is we'll suited
to the strange intonations-strange
to the ear cultivated to q taste for
Beethoven, Schubert and Wagner.
Her range seems limited, the tones
rather more in the throat and nasal
passages than making use Of the res
onance of the cheek bones and head.
The music itself is limited in scope
and lacking in variety though. as she
gave it, there was variety enough in
the performance. Added to the graphic
Interpretation Of the songs were the
fascinating costumes which she wore
which would have been enhanced had
she been before a palmer background.
Program Announced.
There were no printed programs.
which Mrs. Rebecca Bugatch, who was
in charge, announced was due to the
congested holiday mail conditions, thus
what was intended to be the program

the program was announced from the
stage with the explanatory notes for
each number.
Miss Zfirah was assisted at the piano
by Nachum Nardi, who not only has
written accompaniments for the folk
