News Of Music
By Day Thorpe

It is difficult to speak of the
Japanese music performed by
the Azuma Kabuki troupe at the
National Theater this week With
out considering it in relation to
the singing, speaking, dancing
and pantomime that make up
the highly integrated stage en-
tertainment known as Kabuki,
which originated early in the
18th century in Kyoto, then as
now the artistic center of Japan.
All five Of these media of the
stage are almost equal facets of
the act of these highly express
sive and arUiculate artists, who
present traditional. conventional
and symbolic entertainment for
an audience lacking entirely the
background for it and yet make
it alive, communicative and
engrossing.
The Kabuki music Is made by
a stage orchestra of four sami-
sen "a long-necked, three-string
guitar. with a small body covered
with the skin of cat or dog). a
flute and a variety of esoteric
percussion instruments.
The samisen is fascinating. It

Minneapolis Symphony, then
playing under an unknown con-
ductor called Dimitri Nitro
poulos, sailed into Strauss
waltzes and DelibeS ballet mu-
sic. The audience sat around
tables in shirtsleeves. drank
beer and danced with their
spouses or girl-friends if they
felt like it. All that was lack
ing yesterday was the environ
ment-the music was there.
The program was billed as an
all-request one. I find it diff
cult to believe. however, that the
Marines were deluged with calls
for the Mozart flute and harp
concerto. Nevertheless, I was
delighted to find it included in
the program. Apparently the
audience was, too, as it APP

The symphony's excellences

in virtually every musical form.
Malipiero's particular brand Of
facility is clearly demonstrated
in his cantata, 1.-The Last Sup
per-" performed last night by
the choir of the New York Ave-
nue. Presbyterian Church during
the Maundy Thursday commu-
Mon service. The work employs
a text by the 16th-century Ital-
ian poet, Perozzo Castellano de
Castellani. but it was sung last
night in an English translation
by the composers wife, Anna
Malipiero.
The scores of this composer
very often are interesting at a
first glance. They have lots of
accidentals and they abound in
changes of meter and irregular
rhythmic groupings. But when
one looks a little closer, or plays
some of the music, the accident
ais simply spell out a rather me-
andering tonality and the rhyth-
mic frills merely accommodate
the verboseness of the poets
Malipiero seems to select. The
setting Of the texts is often
rhythmically and melodically
fluid, but this very trait is SO
overdone that the music soon be-
comes an aimleSs flow.
Malipiero's harmony employs
a sort of workaday modernism"
whose few modal or mildly dis
sonant chords are invariably safe
and inorganic. There is hardly a
passage in 1.-THE Last Supper"
where the composer appears to
have been impelled by this NOV
ing episode in the story of Jesus
last mortal days.
Mr.. Prussing, Mr.. Watkins, the
soloiSts and the choir of the New
York Avenue Church are to be
commended for their enterprise
in performing a contemporary
work by a composer little known
in this country. The perform
ance was indeed technically
creditable, with some beautiful
singing by Richard Rogers and
Earl Thompson in the roles of

NEWS OF MUSIC
Japanese Music at National
Can Win Western Ears

is played with an ivory pick the
size and shape of a pie-cutter
and is apparently loosely strung
for it is much more twangy than
any Western instrument. The
players could produce an in
credible variety of timbres with
this pick. and also by strumming
with the fretting hand.
The music. of course, sounds
strange to Western ears, but it
is by no means unintelligible.
1t does not seem at all primitive,
but rather a highly and con-
sciously developed art music,
comparable in expressiveness
and individuality to the orches-
ira of Monteverdi.
Some of the cadences and
turns of phrase are similar to
those of Western music; those
that are not make one realize
with a shock that one is UNI
doubtedly hearing all the music
upside down, as when one sud-
denly realizes that an F major
chord is not the subdominant of
c in the Lydian mode.
The excitement and brilliance
of the playing is phenomenal.
Whether the orchestra is accom-
panying the stage business or is
playing by itself, the variety of
pace and mood and the brilliance
and infectiousness of the sound
and the rhythms are remarkable
The singing. too, is good. Twangy
like the samiSen, and nasal, ii
passes from lyricism to recita-
tive, which may to the japanese
ear be speaking. for it is not
unlike the traditional recitation
of classic French drama.
These comments are not a
criticism, for they are not based
on any knowledge of the subject
They are rather a report to let
the reader know that if his tastes
in music are similar to mine, he
will thoroughly enjoy himself at
an evening with the Kabuki.
