Review of RECORDINGS

the Gate Of the Moon waiting for
the watchman to unlock it.
Delius' first opera was "Irmelin,' -
to which he also wrote the text. 1t
has never seen the light of day,
however, but Delius has given out
some of its musical ideas in the
form Of this prelude. When the
composer was too i'll to do much
steady work his secretary and tram
scriber, Eric Fenby, took over the
responsibility. It is his arrange
ment Of the dance from Act II Of
"Koanga," which is The final number
In this album. The dance is part of
the betrothal ceremonies of Prince
Koanga and Palmyra and is deli
cate and melodic bit of writing.
Recorded also is Saint -Saens'
Sonata No. 2 in F. Major" for cello
and piano. played by Paul Bazelaire
and j. Phillip. This is a first record
ing of this important and popular
work of Saint-Saens, but only two
movements were chosen by the Co.
lumbia company for these discs, the
romanZa and scherzo.
The sonata is a grateful work for
the cello and also the piano if not
a deeply inspired one. The cello has
many brilliant passages, played
skillfully by Mr.. Bazalaire, who was
educated and later became teacher
at the Paris Conservatoire. Mr..
Phillip, inclined at times to make
the piano stormy, again arrives at a
great delicacy as in the scherzo,
which is taken with fleet lightness
that is very lovely. Composed dur
ing Saint-Saens' later years, it has
his gift for melody and display we'll
balanced.

OF composition as we'll as American
music from Colonial and pre-revolu-
tionary days. However, more than
half Of the composers listed are liv-
ing today and the number of their
works given hearing by the Project
Is nearly two-thirds of the amount
performed. All told, l92,9O4 pro-
grams were given to audiences which
totaled 128.268 900 persons.
There is evidence of a great
eagerness for music OH the part of
the American people," Mr.. Sokoloff
says, land this Is attested by the
fact that multitudes go to the
Projects concerts again and again.
Many Of these have had the op-
portunity to hear living music for
the first time. and it is certain that
significant new audience structure,
body OF concert regulars and music
lovers, is in the making" He adds
that "a wealth of creative musical
talent, unsupported three years ago,
has been disclosed" although no
great masterpieces have as yet come
to light.
Success Abroad.
At the same time comes an an
nouncement from the National Fed
Grafton of Music Clubs of the sue
cessful dissemination of knowledge
regarding the output of American
composers In foreign countries.
In Valparaiso, in April, will be
held a tWo-day festival devoted ex-
clusively to works by American
composers. The Royal Madrigal So
ciety OF The Hague will present an
entire program of American choral
works, while in Australia and New
Zealand Prof. Bernard Heinze,
director of the University Conserva-
torium and conductor of the Mel
bourne Symphony Orchestra. is pro-
gramming innumerable American
compositions.
Other organizations helping in
this good work are the Society of
Musical Amateurs of Cairo, Egypt:
the International Arts Society of
Paris, the Musical Institute of Bag
dad. 1raq: the American Woman's
Club in Copenhagen and the radio
stations OF Belgrade and Portugal.

American COMPOSERS,

1t cannot be said that American
composers are not having some at
tention paid to them, according to
a report just issued by Nikolai Soko-
LOFT, national director of the Fed

1895, 6,772 compositions by Amer
lean composers or those living here
have been played; 2,034 native-born
or naturalized writer's of music have
had their works performed by musi-
clans on the Federal Music Project

American arrangers have been pro-
grained; 301 of these lucky COM

He began these concerts in Carnegie
Hall, N. Y, and has had busy tour
throughout the country.
The desire to aid those who no
longer can call Germany their
homeland may have some tie-up
with the fact that it was in Berlin
that Elman first won acclaim as a
wonderchild. There is story about
his first appearance there that is not
generally known. When it was de-
cided that the little boy from Rus
sia should be heard in Europe, and
Berlin was chosen as the first city,

$50 seats on the stage, having been

Mr.. Eddy is discontinuing this year
the practice of permitting auditors
to share the platform with him.
Despite the vigilance of police es-
cOrts, who are always stationed in
the wings, certain overzealous ad-
mirers of the baritone are so de-
termined to reach out and touch
him or bring themselves to his at
tention that it has been deemed
advisable by Mr.. Eddy's manage
ment to eliminate stage seats at
future concerts. This will have the

Al question that has perplexed
many Is that of the apparent pros
perity OF the wicked and OF those IN
different TO the law OF God. 1t might
be observed that to brood over sucn
appearances Is futile, and even harm
full. The seeming benefits obtained
by unrighteousness or worldiy-mind-
edness have not brought the peace
and satisfaction that may be fancied.
Furthermore, whatever has been
achieved by means other than unset
fish and pure living is extremely un-
reliable and uncertain.
In regard to protection for the
