BY DAY THORPE
Star Music Critic

Wayne Dirksen has fond
ness for writing canons; a good
tune, heard In all sorts of curl
Gus relationships with itself,
is one Of the neatest and sure
est methods of giving pungency
to a text. His most recent set
OF canons-ll for Psalm l0l-
had its premiere yesterday at
the Washington Cathedral,
sung by the Cathedral Mems
Choir and conducted by the
composer.
AS homage to David, the
greatest musician Of the Bible,
the canons are expert minia-
lures: clean-cut, remarkably
expressive in diction and all
with unusual melodic appeal.
For the most part, the voices
are arranged so that the words
are sung in rhythmic unison,
thus achieving immediate rap
port with an average congrega-
ton.
The set opens with MY song
shall be of mercy and judg-
ment," a devout and prayerful
movement; continues with 20
let me have understanding in
the way of godliness," an
energetic, militant canon, and
concludes the first part with
II will take no wicked thing
in hand" memorable for an
exciting climax.
Among the further canons,
the best, I thought, was There
shall be no deceitful person
dwell in my house." a marvel
Gus. gossipy tune that develops
with almost orchestral color.
The set ends with a Gloria. F"
The work as a whole can be
numbered among Mr.. Dirksen's
finest, and the performance by
the Cathedral's BASES and
tenors was accurate and tonally
warm and rich. We would be
happy to have Mr.. Dirksen
either write some more canonS
or give a repeat performance of
these.
