FROM IZvEsTIA'


Moscow has taken note of
our local musical endeavors,
as this article. translated
from its issue Of October 20,
proves:
"Queen Of Spades"
On the Potomac
On the stage Of the large
auditorium of George Wash
ington University Is being
presented with great success
an opera by the great Rus
sian composer, P. I. Tschai-
kovsky-"The Queen Of
Spades. The staging of the
production is by the Society
of Opera Lovers"
The musical director of the
society and the conductor
of the opera. Paul Holloway,
in a meeting with your cor
respondent discussed how
work on the opera progressed.
(Surely, if we can spell the
name of the composer indis-
criminately "Tschaikowsky,"
Tchaikovski" or "Chaikow-
sky" the Russians are privi-
legged to do what they like
with "Callaway.~
Our goal was to inculcate
ourselves as deeply as pos
sible with the gifted art of
Russian music. Thus it was
decided to perform the opera
in its own language. All the
singers. from the stars to the
chorus. took a special course
OF study on their own in the
Russian language. In the
course of the undertaking,
they very carefully studied
the notes of each part done
by the leading soloists Of the
Bolshoi theater."
1zvestia makes no COM
ment.
Robert Ellinwood, known
to us in his home town as
a boy soprano. a tenor and
a bass, is, it seems. now
strictly the last. Last week he
sang the three Don Qui-
chotte" arias of Ravel with
the Rochester orchestra,
Howard Hansen conducting.
The Rochester Democrat and
Chroricle reported that in
"phrs ling and vocalism 1t
was a superior perform
ance.'

a bat helor Of music degree
from Lynchburg College, is
a candidate for a masters

TURNTABLE TALK
For Christmas Music
All Through House
BY HERMAN SCHADEN
Star Record Critic

Everybody owes it to him.
self to start his holiday buy
ing with the Christmas Ora
torio of Johann Sebastian
Bach. True it's a fairly ex-
pensive present, but measured
by its wondrous beauty. here's
a gift that always will bring
vast returns.
One imagines the atmos-
phere it would create on
Christmas morning while
sending the message Of the
Nativity soaring through the
household. This is Bach at
his most joyous. the music he
wrote for the Christmas sea-
son Of 1734-5. It is a six
part work, meant to be spread
over the Yule season.
The three-record Archives
set is perfection itself. It
has Fritz Lehmann as the
conductor, the Berlin Phil
harmonic players. a fine
chorus. and, as soloists, Gum
thild Weber. soprano; Sieg-
linde Wagner, contrslto: Hell
NUT Krebs. tenor, and Heinz
Rehfus. bass. Angels could
not have sung more sweetly
on the first Noel
1t may be an old-fashioned
Christmas all around, judg-
ing by the new holiday rec
ords. Consider two offered
by London: CD A Festival OF
Lessons and Carols as Surg
on Christmas Eve, 1858. in
Kings College Chapel, Cam
bridge, and (2) Music for the
Feast of Christmas.
Both feature mems and
boys voices singing mostly
18th and 18th centuries mu-
sic. That of Kings College is
interspersed by short Bibli-
cal lessons, including q boy
soprano recounting in broad

MORE FROM DELLER
Alfred Deller, the noted
English counter-tenor. and
his accomplished group con-
coct q mixture Of the old
and the new in their carols
fM Vanguard. One standout
is the Twelve Days of Christ
mas.
Incidentally, for those who
haven't heard the Deller
group and are the poorer for
1t. Vanguard has another
fine new disc titled A Musical
Panorama Of Shakespeare's
England. This includes
charming lutte, viols, harp
sichord and recorder num-
bers. Still another recent
Deller Consort product is
called Tavern Songs, a Col
lection Of Catches and Giees,
Both Ribald and Refined.
DECK THE HALLS
Not everyone will have an
opera star caroling unless, of
course, Eileen Farrell Is the
choice. 1t would be a good
one, too. for she shines as
brightly as the Christmas
star in pure, unaffected sing
ing on a Columbia record.
Another good job for
Columbia is by the ever
popular Mormon Tabernacle
Choir. Skillful arranging of
young and older voices lends
variety and the program is
interesting because most of

New Church Built
BY 1857 the old church had
become so run down that the
people decided to build new
church which is still in use to-
day and known as Moore's
Methodist Church.
Methodism was new and some
OF the children and young people
wanted to leave the church of
their family and join the Metho-
dist. Anne Pride was one who
wanted to join the Methodist
Church but died of tuberculosis
before she could do this. Her
father, Tom Pride, erected a
chapel on his land near Truxillo
in memory of his daughter. This
chapel was known as the Anne
Augusta chapel. Sometime after
the death of Tom Pride, the
chapel was moved to the village
of Amelia Court House to serve
the Methodist people there. It
was placed on land belonging to
Lewis Harvie. who sold it to
