ductor for the third season. will di-

The last time the New York Phil

Musicologist Gives
Lecture Series

The Washington College of Music
announces the engagement of DR..
H. S. Simon, noted musicologist, as
visiting professor who has taken
up his residence in Washington and
who will begin Immediately his &C
tivities with the college.
After leaving Germany in 1884,
DR.. Simon resided in London, where
he lectured at the London Academy
of Music. In his childhood he came
under the influence of Brahms and
Joachim and later on became the
friend of Toscanini, Bruno Walter,
Delius, Bloch, Granger and others.
With Toscanini's and Huberman's
assistance he built up the now we'll
established Palestine Orchestra.
In 1898 the italian government
invited him to the annual musical
festival, the Maggie Musicale" in
Florence, to give lectures on the
Italian composer, Muzio Clement,
who had been the object of spe-
cial research of his.
DR.. Simon will give series Of 10
weekly lectures on the Saga of
Music" beginning Thursday eve
ming, October 10. at 8 o'clock. at the
Washington College of Music, now
at its new address, 1741 K street.

formed in this country-will be in
cluded in the orchestra's repertory
for the winter series.
DR.. Kinder, whose orchestra has
introduced more American compo-
sitions during its eight years of
existence than any other symphony
with the exception of the laboratory
orchestra of the Eastman School
Of Music, has chosen to play, for
the first time anywhere. the works
of two Washington composers. They
are the "Castellano" concerto for
two pianos and orchestra by Mary
Howe, and the Seven Visions" of
La Sale Spier. The Howe two
piano concerto will be given its
first performance on Wednesday.
November 8, with Luboshutz and
Nemenoff, brilliant duo-pianists,
taking the solo parts. The Spier
composition, to be heard later in the
season, is the second work of this
gifted pianist composer to be per-
formed by DR.. Kinder and the Ma
tional Symphony.
Typical French Work.
Scheduled to be given their first
American hearing this season are
Olivier Messiaen's "Offrandes
Oubliees," Karol Rathaus' "Uriel
Acosta" and Gunter Raphael's "Sme-
tana Suite" based on dances by
Friedrich Smetana. Dr. Kinder was
shown the Forgotten Offerings OF
Messiaen, young French composer,
when he was in Paris last spring
and was SO impressed with it that
he consented to give it its first
American performance. Messiaen's
work, Dr. Kinder says, is typical of
that of the younger French C,eative
artists, who, to find some enduring
basis in the oppressive complexities
of this day, have gone back whole
heartedly to the Catholic faith.
The "Uriel Acosta" of Rathaus
was originally written for the Habi-
nah Theater, internationally IA

the knowledge that older countries
have bequeathed to their citizens.
From all these possibilities that
are laid on our doorstep it is up
to us to use them to our advan-
tage, progress and development.
The American artist will find the
musical leaders ready and willing
to help as never before. First among
these is Eugene Ormandy, who plans
to include. a greater number of
compositions by American composers
in his programs this year. Others,
too, have signified their intention
Of stressing the musical gifts of this
country, which have made such
enormous strides since the last war.
But Mr.. Ormandy also cautions
against revival of that feeling
toward artists of belligerents that
was such futile and harmful prac-
tlce when America was forced into
the World War. In a recent release
he says:
I'VE must not permit ourselves to
be led into the folly of 20 years
ago, when Wagner and Strauss were
cast out of our concert halls mere
ly because they were German. That
is cutting off the nose to spite the
face. In such tragic times as these
we need all the solace that great
music can bring us. It is a refuge
that we must not be childish enough
to deny ourselves.
Measured by Work.
"A composer is to be measured
only by artistic standards. What
has he to say to us and how ef-
fectively does he say it? These are
the only questions. The place of
his birth does not make his music
great any more than the language
he learned to speak as child can
deprive it of greatness. 1t is the
color of composers orchestration
that we are concerned with, not the
color of his skin. 1t does not mat
ter what church he goes to or if
he goes to any. Perhaps if we all
steep ourselves in the universal har-
mony that is music we can sooner
restore harmony among the warning
nations"
1t would seem that in this dis
turbed and critical time. music
alone remains serene, pure and true.
But it has not given us all that it
has to say, it has not exhausted
its power to awaken slumbering
idealism to articulate truth, it's
sources of spiritual comfort and
courage are not dried up. They
neverw Ill be. But man is the me-
dium throughwhich music must
speak and man is busy with
thoughts of hate and the lust of
battle. We. in America, the melt
ing pot of the world, where national
streams from every corner of the
globe meet and blend, can save the
light" of which Roman Roland
writes. On the rays of this sun
of the inner universe" We can win
eternal emancipation from any
shackels forged about us by the
needs of a growing country, and
reach the heights where our natural
talent belongs, through industry,
tolerance and understanding.
