Genuine Theuter

Above all, 1t was marvel
ously gripping theater.
I am afraid we are not
used to thinking of opera
in terms of genuine theater.
AS a consequence, six Char
acters" (Which added a new
dimension of eloquence to
Pirandello) took, many by
surprise. Instead of the ex-
pected pretty tunes, general
hrainlessness, and labored
contrivance Of the genre, the
observer discovered a new
world-the Scintillating play
Of idea enhanced by the
magic Of music as dramatic
catalyst.

taking place all over Ireland,
the eminent drama critic
Eric Bentley came to the
conclusion that "Purgatory"
was a reflection of Yeats ma
tionalism, a parable Of the
degeneration of his native
land. Surely this is a gross
oversimplification.
At any rate, it is clear that
Mr.. Weisgall saw other vis-
ions. From studying the
score, I would hazard the
opinion that here too. as in
six Characters" he is deal
ing with an apparent discrep-
ancy between illusion and
reality, and perhaps with Ger
tain even more diaphanous
concepts. But be that as it
may. he is surely concerned
with the creation of opera
that is combined theater,
music, and idea.

A Major Premiere
Thus "pnrpatnrvn lonns

ThuS "Purgatory" looms as
a major premiere.
In anticipation Of it, I
wrote to Mr.. Weisgall (for-
merly Of Baltimore, but now
teaching at Queens College
in New York; and asked him
for a few quotable words
about himself and opera. He
replied with more generosity
than I could have hoped for,
dealing at length with many
important problems.
Space permits direct quo
tation Of only a few short
excerpts:
o OF his harmonic language
-"Obviously 1t is largely
shaped by the dominant
movements of the Goth CEN
tury. It is certainly a con-
temporary idiom which has
its roots in 10th century
chromaticiSm and frequently
goes all the way through the
serial techniques of the new
Viennese school. Most fire.
quently it comes to rest
somewhere in the ill-defined
territory Of free tonality,
atonality, or free chromat-
1clSm. :"
Q OF melody - Anything
that sings is a melody. Since
I happen to be a pretty good
singer I can always check
on the singable qualities of
melodies When I can't sing
it, I don't write. -"
o OF rhythm-"Two contra
dictory forces: Down with the
bar line! Long live the irreg-
ular motor impulse of the
hiccoughing machines {.
Operatically my works give
the greatest problems with
regard to rhythm. -"
o OF fOrm-"I am going to
limit myself to opera where
this is certainly the most
difficult and important prob
lem Of all. Throughout the
history Of opera, composers
have been preoccupied by the
problems of how to achieve
an overall effect of unity and
still have room for well de-
fined contrasts. All the var
ious changes in operate con-
ventionS have been different
solutions OF these basic prob
lens. My attempted solutions
have been different in each
Of my works. -"
o OF OrchestratiOn-"Com-
pletely controlled by econom-
ic considerations. We can
not indulge ourselves in the
Sonorities of the modern
symphony orchestra. We dare
not write in blocks. We have
to orcheStrate and make do.
I mix colors carefully
and am most concerned that
my scores resemble chamber
music lines as much as pos
sible -"
. OF opera - "Opera is q
theatrical form in which q
significant action Is artic-
ulated simultaneously by
words (Which are sung) and
by a musical accompaniment
which can work in a variety
Of ways-pictorially, setting
the mood, com m en- ting,
identifying, etc. Everything
should be subservient to the
basic theatricality Of form.
I try my best to be as
direct and communicative as
possible-on my own terms.
I never deliberately confound
an audience but I never write
down, nor do I ever ooddle
them. I don't believe in max
ing things too easy either
emotionally or Intellectually.
The things I consider sig
nificant today are perhaps
neither too pleasant nor too
simple. At best I want to be
as direct as possible, but

Poetry in Opero


lines from Mr.. Weisgall:
"Purgatory," he wrote, is
"the tightest work I have
done up to now. The prob
lem: to cope with the inten-
sity and power of Yeats's
verse. Is 1t possible to cope
with great poetry in opera?
Since this work has as yet
not been produced I cannot
judge"
If the composer himself re-
fuses to Judge the work before
its naturalization on the
stage-apparently Mr.. Weis-
gall believes that characters
do have a reality of their
OWL would certainly be
foolish to try.
I hope he enjoys the per-
formance at the Library of
Congress. II "Purgatory' is
an advance over six Char
acters," it will indeed be q
great American opera.

1t is now almost automatic
that one cannot understand
the scriptures without some
idea Of different literary
types, some knowledge of the

worked with God in the pro-

Nowhere in the book under

Nor does the author concern
himself to any extent with the

setting, in which the books of
the Old Testament first APP

For instance, take the
charge OF "divisiveness" that
is so often laid against Cath
Ollie schools. Foes of Catholic
schools often claim that the
Federal government or state
should have a monopoly Of ed
ucation and should ban paro-
chial schools on the ground
that they cause a "divisive-
ness" that is harmful to the
public welfare.
WE MAY BE TEMPTED to
judge such a charge insincere
and impute bad motives to
those who assert it. But there
are reputable Americans who
do advocate a state monopoly
of education and they deserve
a hearing. Reinhold Niebuhr
some months ago said: "A re-
ligiously pluralistic and semi
secular society cannot afford
to imperil the unity of a PEG

the Old Testament you get a
better picture of the book.
THIS BOOK IS A MAZE Of
quotations from the Old and
New Testaments used mainly
to back up Or prove some
truth about the spiritual life
stated by the author. One can
certainly get a better under
standing of the Old Testament
and its, spiritual content by
reading the uninterrupted YER
sion with passages in context,

viewer.
The spiritual sense Of the
Old Testament quotations is
the one continually given in
this book. This is certainly
praiseworthy and legitimate
since the Fathers and the
Church use scripture fire.
quently in this way. When
they do so. however, are they
increasing our understanding
of scripture our understand
ing of the spiritual life?
WHILE 1T is TRUE that all
Christian spirituality rests on
the scriptures, it is also true
that a solid understanding of
the scriptures is a firmer
foundation on which to build
a spiritual edifice. AS an ex-
position of some aspects of
Christian spirituality this
book is adequate, but as an ex-
PLANTATION Of the spirituality
of the spirituality of the Chos-
en- People or the ancient Is
raelites it leaves much to be
desired.
1T SEEMS AT iME that
the author is trying to estab-
lish the Old Testament as a
spiritual book. But any Cath
Ole who knows that the Bible
is inspired by God and treats
of Gods workings with man
needs no proof that the Bible,

is a spiritual book. If a Cath
