In spite Of considerable differ
ences In style and texture, the
works resembled each other In
more than one detail. First.
they were all put together by
competent craftsmen: there was
little Of the searching for ideas
that so often mars the work
Of composers whose fame is
less than national. RI the nnu-
sical ideas were sometimes pleas
ant rather than profound, they
were nonetheless intelligently
presented.
Another similarity between
them was the careful avoidance
of polyphony. Pianistic effects
were present In abundance,
along with occasional striking
melodic bits in the vocal NUM-
bers. But the kind Of counter
point that allows climaxes to be
built up effectively was strangely
missing. Then again, the desire
to vary the mood from one sec
ton to the next was common
Characteristic. Only Mary
Howe's anthem, Great Land oil
Nine" was satisfactory in this
respect; for here q mood Of
dignity and power was present
from beginning to end.

nights composers to say that
such originality was not present

The fourth season Of Catholic
University's Chamber Arts So
ciety opened auspiciously last
night before the largest audience
this reviewer recalls having seen
at the Music Department Audi
torium. Somehow, word Of an
unusually interesting concert gets
around, and those who came
were not disappointed.
The excitement of the eve
ming was generated by a start
ling stylistic clash between the
two main works presented,
Ernst Won Dohnanyi's Opus /
piano quintet and Maurice Ra-
vel's Introduction and Allegro. "
The two were composed only
four years apart, yet they live in
entirely different worlds.
Dohnanyi's piece is poured out
Of the same mold as Brahms. It
Is creditable music as first
published work, well-made. with
occasional glimmerings of bet
ter yet to come. It looks back
inexorably to the past, however,
and Is really little more than
the effort of a talented neophyte
composer.
The Ravel, on the other hand,
embodies the sure touch of the
master. It's clean lines, fresh
textures and loving attention to
detail point the way to a COM
pletely modern ideal of con-
summate craftsmanship favored
with urbanity. wit, and soup
con of genius. Surely this is
music redolent of Paris in the
spring and the Shimnering
pointillism of Seurat.
Sandwiched between these two
was a well made but rather
bloodless little suite for flute
and piano by Mary Howe which
was delicately performed by
Wallace Mann and Emerson
Meyers.
To begin the concert, the COM
pletely reorganized Catholic Uni
versity String Quartet offered
the fifth of Haydn's magnificent
Opus 76 set. The new group
has not yet achieved the spit and
polish of last years excellently
