Singing Groups Join
Under One Director
For Choir Festival |
Bv Eleno de Soyn

The annual Choir Festival, spon-
sored by the District Of Columbia
Chapter Of the American Guild OF
organists. brought forth large
consolidated group Of singers under
one director last night IN the
washington Cathedral. Prepared
for the occasion by their respective
ehoiruaasters, the different church
ehoirs In the city and neighboring
area and one school contributed
children, teen-agers and adults. The
earnestness OF the endeavors was
manifested in the discipline, the
choice OF program and in its pre-
sentation. If the execution OF some
numbers took precedence over
others In quality and accuracy OF
pitch, allowances should be made
because Of the gigantic size OF the
undertaking.
There were numbers q capela
and with the accompaniment OF
the organ. For finesse Of shading,
Elmores "Au Ye Servants Of the
Lord" stood out among other Sc
lections, rs did GARDENERS Eve
ming Hymn" notable for beauty OF
tone. In the former, elasticity OF
dynamics and musical feeling In
the youthful members Of the en-
semble was the more laudable as
1t was hardly anticipated. Marked
contrasts between the angelic
sweetness of the youthful voices and
the deep sorority Of the mems
group came out effectively I'M
Goldsworthy's "A Call to Prayer"
while Callaway's "Hark the Glad
Sound placed considerable de-
mands on agility and the high
register.
Psalm $780," set to music by
Philip James, gave the composer
many opportunities to rise to ex-
aIted heights, as the text calls for
an increase of expressiveness and
power. As the music does not move
along, handicapped by q stationary
figure In the accompaniment, the
selection seems uninspired, although
1t works up to a short climax at
the end.
Miss Katharine 8. Fowler directed
the choirs which included the Co.
lumbia Heights Christian, Cove
nant-Firft Presbyterian, Epworth
Methodist, First Baptist (Alexan-
dria); First Methodist Hyattsville)
Mckinley Mixed Chorus and Nc
Kinley Girls Glee Club; Rock
springs Congregational Mount
Rainier; Trinity Episcopal; Wal
ter Reed Chapel; Western Presby-
terian and the Junior Choirs of
the Trinity Episcopal Church and
Epworth Methodist Church. The
following were the directors respon-
sible for the success OF the concert:
Miss Fowler, Theodore Schaefer,
Robert Ruckman, George Ross,
John r. Wells, Harold Jewett, Ar
thur Thompson, Emily Pearse, Mar
euerite Brice and Jean Appel. Rich
ard w. Dirksen was at the organ.

Glenn CarOw Heard
In Church Music
Institute Concert
By EIeno de SoYn

The National Institute of Church
music opened its local activities
last night with concert by
Glenn Carew, resident pianist, at the
Foundry Methodist Church. De-
signed for the promotion of a greater
interest in sacred and secular music
through association, the Institute
scheduled several events in form of
series this week, to take place In
the church. Among these will be an
organ recital sponsored by the Dis
trict of Columbia Chapter Of the
American Guild of Organists on
Thursday and hymn festival Sun
day night.
Mr.. Carow is young virtuoso OF
unlimited technical resources at his
command. He has steadily forged
ahead since the memorable Sunday
afternoon when he appeared In
Constitution Hall on minutes no
tice to entertain the audience. while
Fritz Kreisler, delayed en- route, was
late for his scheduled recital. In
the years since then his playing has
gained in style and authority. His
performance of Moderate Assai"
from Rubinstein's Concerto op. 10,
No. q; of Tschaikewsky's famous
concerto; Mendelssohn's Concerto
op. IS, No. /, and Schubert-Liszt
ave Maria" dazzled by the scintil-
lating accuracy of his runs and his
formidable capacity for octive play
ing.
He was accompanied by Robert
Ruckman on the organ, who used a
reduced orchestra score. In effect
the experiment was rather dis
appointing. The two instruments do
not blend in tone. Mr.. Carow could
have been alone for all one could
hear of the organ. Had it been pos
sible to make the accompaniment
resemble an orchestra. making use
of all its mighty possibilities for
nearby authentic Instrumentation.
the type of support would have justi-
fed expectations.
The National Institute of Church
Music Is planning to make these
concerts a permanent feature each
year and at a time when Washing
ton offers most to out-of-town visi-
tors. As it was the new venture was
greeted by a capacity house, con-
trary to the management's expecta-
tions, as confirmed by Justin Lawrie
in his Introductory speech.

Must Be Signed

The Star News, like many other news
papers. frequently receives letters to the
editor on controversial subjects which are
unsigned or the writer specifically de-
mands that his or her name not be used,
For obvious reasons, these letters can
not be published
No responsible newspaper can print mat
erial, e i t h er factual or opinlonated, whose
source is not identified to it or its readers.
Sometimes, the writer will give his or her
name and address and indicate the wish
that nom de plume be used. Publication
of letters received under this condition is
up to the discretion of the editor. All are
kept on file, however, for future reference.
And it must be remembered that news
papers do not publish communications
written in extremely i'll taste or which are
libelous.
At the present, there are several letters
in the editors office whose publication is
being withheld until the writers come for
ward with their names. There is no objec-
ton to their use other than we must know
who their authors are. Remember, if you
are writing to the editor and want your
communication to appear, it is imperative
that you give your name and address whe
ther or not it is to appear when the letter
is printed
