FINNISH CHORUS
GIVES D. C, new
VOCAL QUALITY
Unfa miIiar Offerings
Delight Audience
By WILLIAM NEWMAN

The Finnish University Chorus,
visiting the United States and
Canada under auspices of the In
tercollegiate Musical Council,
added Washington to its itinerary
yesterday, appearing before a ca
pacity audience in Constitution
Hall.
The members brought a new
literature, a choral technic that
in some respects is unusual and
vocal quality that reflected the
timbres of language quite
strange to our ears. Their nearest
artistic relatives seem to be the
Russians, with whom they share
their startling bass voices. This
profound and vital bass quality, in
turn, changes the balance of the
ensemble to give it characteristic
values that resemble Slavic color,
yet are different.
TONES RICHER
For the Finnish tenorS produce
richer tone than do their eastern
neighbors and the baritones also
display another timbre. Doubtless
the language is responsible for
these characteristics. It is rich
in vowel sounds which contrast
sharply with an occasional harsh
consonant. AS for the choral
technlc, wnen one remembers that
these are students and amateurs,
it is remarkable. Again it re-
sembleS more the Russian than
the German school, being an
acoustic rather than a con-
trapuntal art, but with Surpris-
ing freedom and vitality in the
voice leading, despite the cramped
range.
Their song was entirely unac-
cempanied. The habits Of intonar
tion were excellent and the dis
Cipl1ne in all matters OF precision
and infection approached profes-
Sional standards. Of the COM
posers new to our concert halls,
Vaina Haapalainen was most for
tunately introduced with Six-part
number entitled "Pan." This en-
ployed the divided choir to set up
striking and highly imaginative
contrasts.
PUBLIC APPRECIATIVE
Among other Finnish masters in
troduced by the choir were Emil
Genstz, most distinguished writer
Of patriotic songs; Leevi Madetoja,
! composer of several Finnish
operas; Oscar Merikanto, who
wrote the first one; Martti Turu-
men, conductor of the chorus. who
represented himself modeStly but
charmingly on this program which
dealt expertly with folksong ar
rangementS.
All the music had atmosphere
and was racially characteristic.
The public was most appreciative.

For Our Children

Among the definite ideals of the
Boy Scout movement both here and
abroad is, that Scouting is the pro-
cess of making real men out of real
boys, by real program of advance
ment which works. The great out
doors offers many splendid things to
do which offer keen testing for mind
and muscle and demand the highest
type of good craftsmanship. Scouting
is truly an aid in the teaching of the
constructive use of leisure time.
One feature which is of interest to
everyone is the fact that it is nom
sectarian and non-military. Rather
it is an organization for service
through its Good Turn philosophy.
This service is taught in the thought
'of preparedness, readiness to lend a
helping hand to the individual, COM
munity or nation; service which
calls for men who are physically
strong, mentally awake and morally
straight.
Our boys ask only to be given .
chance to do something that is really
worth while and are ready to follow
where some really understanding and
sympathetic man may lead. They are
open to the planting for the good the
bad or the Indifferent. It is truly .
cause worth promoting which seeks
to provide the leadership our boys
need. Those who seek challenge win
find it here.
