Composers Honored
With Choral Vespers
n EI l. Cav.
By Elena de Soyn

Three composers, Heinrich Schuetz,
William Billings and Vaughn VIII
liams, whose birth dates fall in the
first part of October, were honored
last night at Choral Vespers in
the Covenant First Presbyterian
Church.
The Chancel Choir and the quar-
tet. consisting of Katherine Hansel,
soprano, Evangeline Quay, contralto,
George Barritt, tenor and Harold
Ronk, baritone, were assisted by
additional soloists: Edgar Link, John
Tomkins and Verna Baer, violinist,
in the performance of Williams
"The Shepherds of the Delectable
Mountains"
Notable for the fine quality and
purity of it's voices, the quartet gave
an enjoyable reading to Billings
BE Glad Then, America" Coming
from the pen of Americas earliest
composer, whose bicentennial birth
date falls today, the hymn, imbued
with patriotic fervor, has power and
character.
Billings, living at a time when
religious sects frowned upon any
attempt to combine music with wor-
ship, removed from the musical
world and with a limited access to
any source of learning, succeeded in
a remarkable manner in the use Of
a "fuguing" form. which Bach had
developed only a short while before
to an unprecedented degree. He
was four years old when Bach died,
but 20 years later there appeared
already in print his new hymnal,
a bold departure from those then in
use.
It was interesting to compare
Billings "fuguing tunes" as he
referred to them, with Schuetz's
Psalms" which date back another
century and a half. Originator of
new elements which later went into
the development of passion music,
Schuetz's hymns reflect that patri-
archal dignity usually associated
with the classics, while Billings
hymn tunes seem to breathe, in
addition to religious sentiment,
personal satisfaction derived from
his working out harmonic possibi-
lities of polyphonic imitation.
Theodore Schaefer, under whose
direction the compositions were
presented, proved himself, in the
years of his musical activities in
Washington, a progressive and an
able leader.
