Mr.. Shure's understanding treat
ment OF the various tonal powers Of
the orchestra and the manner in
which they Offset each other, is
distinctive while the poetic element
pervades the whole, sometimes, as
in the Canoe Song, being exquisitely
simple and beautiful. Mingling with
this fine musical background Is the
novel usages to which the choral
part is put. Sometimes carrying
the melody with a kissing sound or
the quick roll Of an r on the
tongue, again humming or singing
q vowel, the effects are heightened
by q burst Of laughter, sudden
exclamation Of fright or by passages
Of defamation when a text is
used.
The drama OF the story is splen-
didly developed by this combined
means Of chorus and orchestra un-
til shot, fired from real pistol,
signifies the death of the outlaw.
The music from then on, with the
repeatedly spoken amens by the
chorus, is some of the most dra-
matte writing to signal the finale Of
a tragedy and is gripping in the
inferences which the quietly spoken
word gives to the music. Under the
Evening star., 1940-05-09

direction Of DR.. Walter Bauer. the
orchestra gave . splendid reading to
the score, while too much praise
cannot be bestowed upon the choir
which learned the dif1cult part un-
der the guidance Of Ruth Morgan.
The choir was heard again In
the cantata MAY Day., work
which follows the usual scheme Of
choral writing and which seemed
. limp affair after the unique
and stirring drama incorporated
In the "Choric Symphony. The
voices, however, had q better op-
portunity to show their quality and
balance and considerable bright
ness was added by the brilliant
soprano Of Mrs. Helsper, which Is
high and clear although not al
ways steady in emission.
Charlotte Gusse gave an excel
lent performance Of the Grieg Con-
certo, her tone being expressive In
the lyric passages and her tech
nique adequate to the demand. Evil
IDENTIFY experienced in playing with
orchestra, Miss Gusse held the FORE
ground with her spirited delivery
and her sure command Of the COM
position. The orchestra has pro-
gressed steadily in every way and

Symphony" Is based on the legend
Of Simon Girty, the outlaw, who
in the earlier days in the Susque-
hanna Valley terrorized the country
and found a tragic death in the
midst of repentant prayer. The
love story, the Indian camps and
ceremonies and the frontier set
ting all allow of great imaginative
play and Mr.. Shure has responded
to his subject with real inspiration.
The music has smooth flow of
melody with varying rhythms and
highly descriptive coloring. The

BY ALICE EVERSMAN.


The Department of Agriculture
Orchestra and Symphonic Choir
contributed to the National Music
Week celebration with a program
last evening in the Federal Audi
torium. The concert was under the
asupices of the District of Columbia
Federation of Music Clubs and con-
sisted of three works-Deane Shure's
"A Choric Symphony" Grieg's Con
certo in A Minor" for piano and
orchestra, with Charlotte Gusse as
soloist, and MacFarren's secular
cantata, May Day." with Hazel
Helsper singing the soprano solo
part.
Chief interest centered in Mr..
Shure's new work, which was writ
ten for and performed for the first
time by the Symphony Orchestra Of
Harrisburg, Pa. This was it's WASH
ington premiere and revealed an
other angle of the gifted composers
powers in the broad scope and
imagination with which he has con-
ceived the symphony. 1t is an un-
usual composition and in many re-
spects the finest that Mr.. Shure
has written. In this work the
composer has made use of the
human voice as an orchestral in
strument employing every imagin-
able device to color the sound with
out recourse to text which appears
but rarely In the symphony. While
the natural difference between vocal
and instrumental sound can never
be wholly overcome, the result in
this first attempt at blending them
brings MANY unique and colorful
effects.
The subject on which the "Choric

by . finer tonal quality and more
expansive interpretive effects than
ever before. The audience which
hlled every seat In the hall and
the balcony was demonstratiye in
its appreciation after each number.

 Truce Now
 pope'sUrge
Plea Made 10 All BeI|iger- ents to Call YuIefide
 Cessation of War
(By Associated Press)

Urging warning nations to observe Christmas truce and keep the clash of arms from drowning out the anvil chorus for peace" " Pope Plus today made an appeal asking all belligerents to call Yuletide truce.
 In the appeal, the Pope asked bel ligerents to call the Yuletide truce either spontaneously or by mutual accord so that new bloodshed may not disturb or miserably extinguish the Heavenly joy of that hour
 Only last week, Prime Minister Winston Churchill rejected any sug- gestions of the House of Commons that an attempt be made to arrange Christmas truce. At that time Churchill intirnated that the prime mover in the present conflict had abandoned Christianity and it was of no use in making an attempt for truce under such circumstances.
