Blanche Thebom of the opu-
lent voice and regal bearing,
absent too long from Washing
ton, returned to Constitution
Hall yesterday afternoon to
sing a fine recital before an en-
thusiaStic audience.
Merely to watch Miss Thebom
sweep onto the stage and DOM
mate it with her commanding
presence is a treat, and a fore
Shadowing of what is to come.
When she has warmed to her
task, her rich and powerful
tones, exquisitely controlled,
combined with her impetuous
temperament and breadth Of
musicianship make her one of
the most exciting vocal artists
Of the day.
1t took Miss Thebom a fair
ish time to get really in the
groove yesterday. The rarely
performed Mozart scena with
which the concert began would
no doubt have been more effec-
tive at a later point in the pro-
gram, and the Brahms group.
with which the artist took some
astonishing liberties, was just
not her dish of tea.
But with the aria from Mas

ent century. is enough to show
that director Hugh A. Gault is
not content with the shopworn
fare that most male college
groups rehash year after year.
1t cannot be said that Mr..
Gault's singers have an unfair
advantage. The voices are no
better than those in q number
of other similar glee clubs.
They wrought no miracles Of
dynamic subtlety; their vocal
lines did not have the suavity
of a crack professional chorus,
and their French sounded ex-
actly like that Of any reason
ably intelligent group of Amer
ican college boys. The crucial
difference between the Frank
lin and Marshall Glee Club and
the dozen or so other better
than-average college groups

Thebom's Rich Voice
And Artistry q Joy

Herodias pleads for the head of
John the Baptist, things came
suddenly to life, and the re-
mainder of the afternoon was
an utter Joy.
Miss Thebom was especially
moving. I thought, in the
Paladilhe "Petites Enfants," q
beautiful demonstration of the
expressive power of properly
handled mezza .voce, and in
David Diamonds David
Weeps for Absalom," one Of the
composers best efforts.
A minor surprise to me was
the distinction Of the little
Henry Hadley song in the clos
ing group. No surprise, how
ever, were the two Celius
Dougherty songs-inanities OF
the first water-with which
the concert ended.
Worthy of passing comment
and emulation by other sing
erS-is Miss Thebom's remark
ably lucid diction, regardless of
the language in which she
happens to be singing. This
might be Italian, German,
French, Spanish, Swedish,
English and, for all I know,
others besides.

ago. Composers who can carry
the weight Of an entire evening
are few, and that we have come
to feel that Handel is one of
them should be q satisfaction
to those of us who have an af-
f1nity to 18th-century music.
Handel was a great composer
in sweep and breadth, If not
always in refinement; you can
not really know Handel till you
know that Messiah is equaled
by many other pieces of his,
and that it is by no means his
most typical work.
Ifelt that the Handel evening
presented last night by the
National Gallery Orchestra,
Richard Bales and the Church
Of the Reformation Choir, with
four soloiSts from the same
Church. was handicapped by
an orchestra below the stand
ards Mr.. Bales has established
the last few seasons. In the
concerto crosse in A, the Or
chestra was ragged in attacks,
out Of tune and generally list
less. In the Dettingen TIE Deum
it was somewhat better, but
not up to the virile and boldly
carved music of one of Handels
finest choral works.
The TIE Deum, written in
1746. is a large-scale work
which divides the text into
various sole ensembles and large
choruses, after the manner of
the Bach B minor mass, Un-
like the Bach mass, the TIE
Deum does not make its points
through multiplication of fine
detail, but by a grand sweep
and the broadeSt and most di-
rect musical setting of the text
The chorus was solid and
colorful, and the four soloists,

Mervine and George Barritt,

know Of Is that they are willing
to seek out music which is new,
challenging and refreshing.
Occupying the central posi-
ton on the program were
Francis Poulenc's -Four Little
Prayers. In keeping with the
fortnight simplicity Of st.
Francis prayers, the composer
avoided the angular lines and
thick textures Of his G major
mass and Latin motets. There
were much gracious melody,
bright harmonic color and Gal
lie charm in these appealing
unaccompanied pieces.
Accompanist Reginald F
Lunt served the Glee Club in
