striking balance to his melodic

The orchestral writing, COM,

from a first hearing, is animated
with strong vitality and arrest

the appropriateness of its use.
The choral portion is as intri-
cate and the singers deserve the
highest praise for their finished
performance. It is to be re-
gretted that the words could not
be understood, for Matthew Ar

beautiful. AS yet, the enuncia-

News of Music

The Washington and Cathe-
dral Choral Societies gave their
final program of the season in
the Washington Cathedral last
night, to the accompaniment OF
a symphony orchestra and the
organ played by Richard Dirk
sen. It was a concert of musical
significance. presenting works
seldom attempted and requiring
the utmost in musicianship.
Credit for the rewarding per-
formance goes to the director,
Paul Galloway, who besides con-
Quoting three of the four num-
bers, had prepared his singers
for the presentation of Leo
Sowerby's THE Canticle Of the
Sun" which the composer him.
self came to direct as guest.
The soloists of the program
Margaret Barnwell, soprano;
Rilla Rowe Mervine, contralto: !:
William McGrath, tenor. and
John Yard, baritone-had sew
eral opportunities in solo and
ensemble in Haydn's lovely "St.
Nicholas Mass in G." There is
a sunny aura about this Mass
that strengthens it's devotional
feeling and gives rise to some of
the most beautiful music from
Haydn's pen. At the same time,
his originality and unlimited in
ventiveness are to be found in
his treatment of the "Benedic-
tus." sung by the solo quartet, and
in the moving "Et incarnatus, "
where Mr.. McGrath's sweet lyric
voice introduced the theme to
be later joined by the rich bari
tone Of Mr.. Yard.
Ensemble Singing Cited.
The ensemble singing of the
choral groups in the Mass was
notable for its security in pitch
and rhythm. But the real test
came in Sowerby's "Canticle of
the Sum-" a work of demanding
breadth and complexity. Mr..
Sowerby's directing has an elec-
trio quality and with the first
measure both singers and orches-
ira showed the effects of his in
spring leadership. His setting
of st. Francis of Assists famous
text enlarges the scope of the
words themselves, picturing in
tone either their delicate beauty
or adding to the bigness of the
idea.
1t is in this way that the in
tricate music glorifies the sim

fuI appreciation of so notable
work as Sowerby's a place bet
ter equipped in this respect
would be preferable.
The program opened with a
flne delivery of Haydn's "Te
Deum in c." and closed with
Liszt's Psalm 49," in which Mr..
McGrath took the solo part.
