Surely the choir of the Lu-

and pride to its congregation.
The musical portion of last
nights service at that church
was done with the same atten-

has distinguished Its work In
the past. Further. the works
selected proved q pleasant
change from the usual round of
carols which, durable though
they are, reflect a lack" Of i'm

choirmasters.
Gustave Schreck's unaccom-
panied Advent Motet is a well
come addition to this reviewers
repertoire. Its three contrasting
portions. sung fiawlessly. are
conservative In harmony, poly

Paul Hindemith's awe-inspir-
ing "Ludus Tonalis," surely one
of the most formidable scores
in the entire literature of the
piano, was brought to the Ma
tional Gallery last night by Jane
Carlson, a brilliant young pianist
whose mature artistry was
matched by a completely ex-
traordinary technical prowess.
The "Ludus Tonalis" is made
up of twelve interrelated fugues
linked together by interludes.
The whole piece, played without
interruption, constitutes q single
gargantuan conception. This Is
not Hindemith in a witty or
superficial mood-the music is
abstruse and fiendishly difficult.
Nevertheless, Miss Carlson made
Of its 45-minute expanse a gor-
geous panorama of power and
delicacy, a subtle study in light
and shade. It was an altogether
convincing tour de force and a
breathtaking exhibition of pyro-
technics and profundity COM
bined.
Miss Carlson devoted the en-
tire second half of her program
to music chosen from the ro-
mantle repertory. Here. too.
there was nothing in her playing
which did not provoke admira-
tion and appreciation among her
auditors-who were regrettably
few In number.
In Liszt, Chopin, Rachmanin-
of, and Dohnanyi as in Hinde-
NTH, the same complete COM
mand of the instrument and the
same easy mastery of style was
demonstrated.
From the caliber of her per-
formance yesterday, Miss Carl
son. Naumburg Award winner
who Is still virtually unknown,
would seem to be one of the very
few pianists who can give Horo-
witZ run for his money 50 far
as sheer technique is concerned.
If accuracy, power, velocity,
intelligence, musicality, and ar
tistry is enough in the way Of
gifts to make a successful con-
cert career, you should be see-
ing Miss Carlson's name more
frequently in the future.

There is nothing novel about
a professional Of traditional
Christmas carols, but that at
Catholic University last night
seemed to have a particular lift
as it was resoundingly sung by
the chorus down the entire
length Of the university's huge
gymnasium.
AS the program proper began,
a group of seminarians, under
the leadership of Margaret
Leddy. sang four chants from
sundry Christmas liturgies Of
the Roman tradition. Surely
no other music can so express
awe Of the Christmas miracle
than the rich freedom Of these
gentle songs of jubilation. Miss
Leddy and her choir sang the
chants with all the supple nuance
they demand.
A cantata Of j. s. Bach, the
Marienlieder Hof Brahms, and
Britten's Ceremony of Carols
were the major works sung by
the University Chorus under the
baton Of John Paul.
The 70-voice chorus achieved
a bright, richly blended quality,
with a particularly fine male sec

trouble balancing so women's
voices. There was clean, spirited
singing especially in the folk

The Trapp Family Singers,
now to our great gain virtually
an American Christmas tradition,
came to Constitution Hall yester-
day and provided a near-capacity
audience with as delightful an
afternoon of music as has been
heard there in many a day
AS is their custom, the group
presented virtually two separate
concerts. In both, they showed
why they are one Of the most
respected and beloved of all
music-making organizations be-
fore the public today.
The first concert consisted of
q beautifully varied selection of
music from an earlier era. The
Traps ranged easily from an
anonymous l4th-century English
motetus to a trio-sonata by rele-
mann. displaying in both instru-
mental and choral works fabulous
precision, firmly controlled
nuance, and the most convincing
musicianship. Although they are
billed as singers, all members of
the family play one of the an
cient instruments such as record.
ers, viola da gambia, or virginials
which are a charming feature Of
their appearances.
After the intermission, they
returned to sing the Christmas
carols for which they are Justly
famed. Not even the most con-
firmed misanthrope could fail to
be moved by the tender rever-
ence. unaffected simplicity, and
evident sincerity of this singing.
And even though Silent Night"
has been sung to the point where
one is apt to forget that it is a
very great piece of music, when
the Trapp Family Singers close
their concert with it there are
very few in the house who do not
realize it anew.
The Family invariably puts on
q wonderful show, but perhaps
the most remarkable thing about
1t Is that those who come only to
hear the carols discover a thrill
Ing new world Of music from
among the other works offered,
while those who come only to
hear the great art music discover
the real meaning of the carols.
It takes genius as well as tran
scendenta1 performance skills to
achieve this result. The Trapp
Family Singers, led by their ex-
cellent conductor, Franz Wasner,
are lavishly endowed with both.
