Barry Ensemble
Presents Concert
By NJ. o. OWENS

The Barry Ensemble, a group of
five talented and beautous musicians,
completely charmed and delighted a
large audience of Community Con-
cert Associations members at the
Marion High School auditorium We'd
nesday evening, January IL.
The group is composed of Miss
| Gertrude Barry, a native of Germany,
who organized the group and who is
the pianist; Miss Mary Becker,
violinist; Miss Virginia Peterson,
'cellist; Miss Helen Bacchus, violist;
and Miss Phyllis Gugino, clarinetist.
They displayed skill, poise and fl
nesse which they coupled with their
engaging personalities to make the
concert an outstanding event for
Marion.
Miss Barry, Miss Peterson, and Miss
Becker were soloists, and Miss
Gugino rendered solo parts in Ger
shwin's rhapsody in Blue" and
"Flight of the Bundle Bee" Miss
Barry demonstrated remarkable tech
nique and spirit in her rendition of
Mozart's "Variations in G. major"
on a theme by Gluck. Miss Peterson
charmed the audience by the rich
mellow tones she drew from her
violincello as she played cave Maria"
and Hungarian Rhapsody" by David
Pepper. Miss Becker was especially
kind to the eye and the ear as she
played the opening movement of
"Symphonie Espagnole' by Edouard
Lalo, and gave as an encore "Banjo
and Fiddle'' by Grow. The audience
and particularly members of the
Marion High School band, were
struck with the flawless manner in
which Miss Gugino played the clari-
net.
After the concert, Mrs. Donald
Mcintosh entertained at her home on
West Fort Street with a reception
for the Ensemble to which were in
vited the officers and directors of the
Marion Community Concert Associa-
ton. 1t was interesting to learn that
Miss Gugino and our own Prof.
Bernard Hirsch were schoolmates at
the University of Michigan.

touch pervaded his Motet. "Tu es
vas" one of the most beautiful
ensembles for an unaccompanied
mixed chorus on the program. In
this, the voices were treated as
so many instruments, contrived to
enhance especially, the purity of
the boys high register. The excel
lence of the performance lent the
work a celestial touch. There were
two other selections for the same
combination from Mr.. Sowerby's s
Communion Service in c Major -
the "Sanctus" and Gloria in ex-
celsis."
AS contrasted with the en-
sembles, the three Psalms for bari
tone and organ mos. 81, 100 and
121," sounded bit stilted. So de-
signed as to construct vocal effects
into a limited space, the numbers
seemed to lie uncomfortably for
Mr.. Green, whose voice, otherwise,
is of pleasing quality. prelude
on "Malabar," hymn-tune by
David NICK. Williams, showed the
composers ingenuity in handling
the theme, while the brilliant
"Toccata" confirmed once more his
special command of organ tech
nique and tone color.

Sowerby Presents
Own Works at
Organ Recital
by EIeno de Soyn.

There is only one way to under
stand a composer and his style
thoroughly. This opportunity was
provided last night by the District
of Columbia Chapter of the Amer
ican Guild of Organists at the
Washington Cathedral. The pro-
gram featured various forms of
compositions by only one COM
poser, the distinguished American,
DR.. Leo Sowerby. He appeared
under the auspices of the Guild as
organ soloist, assisted in the pre-
sentation of his ensembles and
vocal solos by the Washington
Cathedral Choir, and Charles
Green, baritone.
It is not the first time that DR..
Sowerby'S works were performed
here. However, they were few and
far between and did not permit
q more intimate acquaintance. The
rhapsodic element in many of his
combinations, manifested in the
long-spun phrases, and contra
puntal combinations, needs an
interpreter of his caliber to make
it interesting. Dr. Sowerby's mas
terly control is all the more
astounding, as the great organ of
the Cathedral seems often un-
wieldly.
His Rhapsody" for organ, the
first number on the program, built
on a grand scale, was like a SYM
phony of sound. unfolded with a
naturalness which forms part
only of great works. Especially
lovely we're the eerie sections, the
mysticism of which had a touch
of religious solemnity. The same
