who will give concert at Constitu-

the benefit of the American Commit
tee for Christian German Refugees
the Committee for Catholic Refugees
from Germany and the American

olic and Protestant, have had TO
leave Germany for the sake of re-
ligion or conscience"

idea, and who hopes to raise total
of at least 100000 by this series, is

Marcel Poot is one of the most
important young Belgian composers.
In addition he is music critic on one
OF the leading newspapers in Brus-
sells. The composer has written the
following comment on his work: II
have adopted the scheme of the bal
lade, an unjustly neglected musical
form, for the purpose of this unusual
combination of string quartet and
orchestra. A type of popular poetry,
the ballade lends itself to epical and
narrative expressions. 1t permits
the composer, while preserving the
romantic and realistic formulas of
program music, to preserve the
poetic idea in respect to the logical
development of the thematic mate
rial" The work was dedicated to
Mrs. Coolidge and the Pro Arte
Quartet and its first performance
was given May S, 1888, by the
Pro Arte Quartet and the National
Orchestra of Belgium under the di-
rection of Franz Andre.
