The combined choirs Of
Capitol Hills Lutheran Church
of the Reformation celebrated
Cantate Sunday yesterday by
presenting a full length musi-
cal service, leaning heavily on
the works Of Bach, but also
singing some very attractive
contemporary compositions, one
Of them by the church's cap
able organist, Emma Lou Die
mer.
The program was conducted
by the two zabawas, julie and
Peggy. and was Of the caliber
Of musical programming and
performance characteristic Of
long service at this church.
The big work Of the day was
Bach's motet, Jesu, Priceless
Treasure, performed q cappella
except for occasional admoni-
tions by the organ between
verses that the piece was in E
minor and not some lower key.
The performance was spirited
and represented q high stand
ard for volunteer choirs.
AS may be expected, the
finest singing of the day
was done by a select group.
the Chamber Singers, who
performed at the rear of the
church with an instrumental
group Of harpsichord, violin,
oboe, and cello. They did two
Bach works and q perfectly
lovely short anthem by p.
Bouman, q composer I do not
know, to my regret. The chill
drens choir. also with the in
strumentS, effectively per-
formed the well-known "Jesu,
Joy Of Mans Desiring"
1t was a splendid program,
well performed. I shall not
soon forget the full-bodied
resonance Of the choir in forte,
nor the exquisite playing of
Earnest Harrison and the con-
tinuo group.

A progressive and highly In
tellectual force in contemporary
jazz, Dave Brubeck does not
forget the origins Of his chosen
medium, and his playing Is
totally lacking in that pre-
tentiouSness which sometimes
disfigures the earnest efforts
OF avant gardists. The gym
nasium at Catholic University
held a large crowd of appre-
ciators who remained quiet only
during the music, an ideal
audience.
The Brubeck style and basic
method was set from the OPEN
ing number, an unpromising
operetta tune, "Some Day My
Prince Will Come" An intro
duction by piano. bass, and
drums, and then Paul Des-
mond's marvelously pure tone
and impeccable execution is
featured in a substantial solo

Helen Boatwright. one Of the
finest singers Of our day. was
the featured artist last night
at the National Gallery Of Art,
where the third Of six concerts
in this years American Music
Festival was being presented.
Mrs. Boatwright's offerings
were all new to Washington
except for the 10 Charles Ives
songs which made UP the Sec
ond half Of her program.
II is very difficult. however,
to keep ones critical facilities
properly alert at q Boatwright
recital. This singer has an un-
canny ability to melt you with
the tenderness Of q single note,
to enchant you with the ex-
quisite curve Of q single phrase.
As q consequence, everything
sounds much better than 1t
really is, and the listener is
deluded into the belief that he
is hearing nothing but MASTER
pieces.
OF course, this isn't so. But II
Spain is fortunate In having q
Victoria de los Angeles to inter-
pret the cantigas Of her living
composers to the rest Of the
world, then we are just about
as fortunate in having q Helen
Boatwright to sing the songs Of
our own contemporary COM
poSers.
If this sounds like extrava-
CANT praise. it is meant to.
Projects Beautifully
OF the long list Of songs Mrs.
Boatwright so beautifully pro-
jected, I found the John Duke
and Normand Lockwood set
tings especially fine. A "Vend-
ers Song" by Alan Hovhaness-
apparently an early work.
showing Near Eastern influ-
ences-was also quite effective.
And It Is hardly strange that
there was a special touch Of
affection and eloquence in Mrs.
Boatwright's interpretations Of
three songs land one English
folksong setting, as encore) by
her gifted husband, a respected
member Of the faculty at Yale
University.
AS good as the recital was,
I fear the gallery was not kind
to either Mrs. Boatwright's art
or to that Of her excellent ac-
companist, william Dale. This
singers diction Is in every way
excellent, but the cavernous
empty spaces in the East Gar
den Court defeated her all too
frequently, and Mr.. Dale's pedal
foot was q shade too heavy to
allow the piano tone to emerge
sounding unsmudged.
Troubles Severe
The troubles were particu-
larly severe in the Ives songs, a
well-known Boatwright special

C"The Little Flowers" for ex-
ample) and the extraordinary

I regret to say that the
audience on hand to hear Mrs.
Boatwright (who had, Incl
dentally, Just about stolen the
show from Basil Rathbone at
the White House not two weeks
ago) was very small. And 1t
pains me even more to have to
report that 1t grew smaller

Irate Soviet authorities have
booted out the crew and
Chinese passengers Of the
Picking Moscow Express, charg-
ing they tried to sneak in anti
Soviet propaganda and staged
a sitdown strike when the
literature was seized.
The incident, which marked
Russia's second charge Of prop
uganda smuggling against the
Red Chinese, occurred over the
week end at Naushki, on the
Soviet Monaghan border about
2,700 miles east of Moscow.
The Soviet Foreign Ministry

Chinese of trying to prevent
Soviet officials from inspecting
the train when it crossed the
border Saturday.

locked the customs men in the
train after the officials had
seized literature of a character

UnruIy Behavior Charged
Refusing to continue the trip
until the propaganda material

staged a sitdown strike, locked
