He directed productions at the Opera Comique and the Champs Elysees in 1937 and subsequently wrote musical Comedie des articles in the Journal and the Triton. He entered the War as Lieu- tenant of infantry in August, 1939, was captured and escaped. Since the liberation he has been the director of music in the Radio diffusion Francaise. He composed during the occupation, but his compositions date from 1933 and include the following works for orchestra, Final, Poeme, Concerto da Camera, Le Feu, Suite pour une Comedie de Musset and a suite from his ballet, La Kermesse, Offrande a un homme (to the memory of Maurice Jaubert), Preludes for strings, and a piano concerto. For the theatre he has written La Farce de Maitre Pathelin, an opera comique, the ballets, La Kermesse and L'Astrologue dans le Puits. He has composed a number of works for chamber combinations and for chorus. Henry Barraud has drawn his text Charles Peguy, an extraordinary figure from the third "mystery" of of French literature, French thought and French belief in the early part of our century.

The manuscript then turned out to be a cycle of dramas on Jeanne d'Arc. This "conversion" of a worshipper of St. Francis and the Maid of Orleans, an extreme spiritual ascetic for all his denials and revolutionary protestations, was more like a selfdiscovery than a change of heart.

According It had been "dictated." words which a French Green,* "Peguy's words are child, or a French workman, or a French peasant could easily understand." to Julian The translator finds in his more exalted lines "a sort of super- natural commonsense and an internal rhythm, a rhythm of thought which lends them majesty and pathos." Peguy wrote of the "word": "A word is not the same with one writer as with another. One tears it from his guts, the other pulls it out of his overcoat pocket." Peguy started a bookshop before the turn of the century, but profit of any sort was something this zealot never achieved — there was far more debating than passing of coin. He was not generally noticed until he entered publication with the Cahiers de la Quinzaine, books published periodically. He continued to deal with Jeanne d'Arc, with him a life-long subject, in The Mystery of the Charity of Joan of Arc. The Porch of the Mystery of the Second Virtue appeared in 1911, and at the beginning of 1912 The Mystery of the Holy Innocents.

There is no cause for doubt here — the quality of the fare is guaranteed. But I should like to single out from this general run a valiant group which would head the race, and even draw on the laggards in the final sprint (I apologize for lapsing into a sports comparison in my excitement). What I mean is that I should like to see the number of followers of chamber music increase, for it is there that one finds music in its pure state. It is there that musical thinking can unfold most truthfully, and bring to the one who loves this form of art the subtlest and noblest of emotion. There is more real music in two pages of a quartet of Faure than in the entire exterior and theatrical Requiem of Berlioz. Unfortunately, on the one hand the taste for chamber music is lost under the degrading influence of the radio, which inundates the universe with its most vulgar lucubrations; on the other hand the many and unproductive occupations with which our youth is overburdened render impossible the study of an instrument. And then there is musical criticism which does not meet its obligations, if obligations there are. Concerts such as those given by the Societe Nationale, the Societe Musicale Independante, the Triton, etc., were the terror of the critic who had to visit his judgment upon a Gaveau; I mountain of sonatas, quintets, song cycles, etc., and who had to prove NEW ENGLAND CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC Malcolm Holmes, Dean Harrison Keller, Director MUSIC FOR CHILDREN A new course in music for students from five through high school age on Saturday mornings.

As it is extremely difficult to find any new words for absolute music, the critic refrains, nine times out of ten, from making any comment, and chamber music works lose the benefit of any publicity. The composers, too, are to be held responsible. Through the last forty years chamber music has become so hard to perform or to read that the most intrepid amateur and even the most zealous professional are quite discouraged. A grave fault in a work, signifying either lack of ability or annoying pretentiousness. The result: in this field programs are more limited in works and composers than in symphony programs. Among the classics, Beethoven first of all. The ten violin and piano sonatas (less characteristic in ensemble) the seventeen quartets are a monument of genius. Among the French moderns, Debussy, Ravel, Faure are admitted; our contemporaries are not. his perspicacity , The young composers, no longer finding interpreters for their works, no longer offer them to publishers. What could publishers do with a string quartet which no one would buy, and of which the parts might be at some time taken by some special group who might perform it some day? This will soon bring the end of this form of art — the truest index of a high culture and a love of music. Thinking it over, I have asked myself this question: since it is understood that orchestral associations must be subsidized so that they may give some time to music other than the standard classics, would it not be fair to encourage in like manner chamber groups which could make some effort in favor of contemporary music? Or because it is no more than an ensemble, should it be excluded from what an orchestra is permitted to do? Has not a chamber work as much a civic right as a symphony, a ballet, or an opera? Every true musician would say so. THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA IS OUT OF TOWN NEXT WEEK HEAR KNOX PHYLLIS _HL i% %W Pianist JORDAN HALL 2%. THURSDAY, December 7, 8:30 P.M.

It was first performed on March 8, 1902, at Helsinki under the composer's direction. The first performance in this country was by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Theodore Thomas, Conductor, January 2, 1904. Wilhelm Gericke introduced it at the Boston Symphony Concerts on March 11 of the same year. The most recent performance in the Friday and Saturday series was on April 9 and 10, 1948. The Second Symphony is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani and strings. The score is dedicated to Axel Carpelan. Second Symphony with a characteristic string figure, a sort of sighing pulsation, which mingles with the themes in the first pages and recurs at the end of the movement. One would look in vain for a "first" and "second" theme in* the accepted manner. There is a six bar melody for the wood winds, a theme given out by the bassoons, another of marked and significant accent for the violins, and another, brief but passionate, for the violins. These themes are laid forth simply, one after the other, with no transitions or preparations. Yet the tale is continuous as if each suggested, quite naturally, the next. There follows the theme for the flutes which Cecil Gray refers to as what "would in ordinary parlance, no doubt, be called Sibelius begins his FRIENDS OF CHAMBER MUSIC — Jordan Hall DECEMBER 13 - JANUARY 2nd Season WED.

" It appears as nothing more than a high sustained C-sharp, followed by a sort of shake and a descending fifth. The phrase would be quite meaningless outside of its context, but Sibelius uses over the initial string figure to cap his moments of finally increases it by twice its length to an eloquent period. The initial scraps of themes succeed each other, are combined, gather meaning with development. The whole discourse unfolds without break, coheres in its many parts, mounts with wellcontrolled graduation of climax. The fusion of many elements is beyond the deliberate analyst. It bespeaks a full heart, a magnificent fertility, an absorption which pervades all things and directs them to a single end. The slow movement opens, as did the first, with a string figure which is an accompaniment and yet far more than an accompaniment. Various wood winds carry the burden of melody, introduced and maintained in an impassioned minor, lugubre. Thematic snatches of melody follow each other in rich profusion. In the opening movement, Sibelius has made telling use of the time-honored contrast between the lyric and the incisive, proclamatory elements. In his andante this sharp opposition is notably increased. An oratorical, motto-like it with sure effect greatest tension, and ^ SINCE 1832 LOCAL and DISTANT Price Range to Serve All Information Upon Request Serving All Religions ^ J. S.

As the melodic themes recur, an undercurrent of the spinning, whirring figures in the strings, such as are to be found in almost any score of Sibelius, dramatizes lyricism itself. The third Beethoven in movement pivots upon a swift 6-8 rhythm; it suggests its outward contour, but is more tumultuous than gay. pause with pianissimo drum taps introduces the tender suspensive A trio in which the oboe sings a soft melody which is echoed by its neighbors and subsides in a pianissimo from the solo 'cello. It is as peaceful and unruffled in this symphony of violent contrasts as its surroundings are stormy. The vivacissimo and trio are repeated — with a difference. There creeps into the trio, at first hardly perceptibly, the solemn chant of the finale, as yet but softly intoned, and adroitly, without any sense of hopping over an awkward stile, the master leads his hearers straight into the finale, which is at once in full course. There are two principal themes, the first making itself known as an elementary succession of half notes, the second a longer breathed, incendiary melody with an accompanying scale figure adding fuel to its flame. The structure of the movement is traditional, with two themes alternating, interlarded with episodic matter; the simple scheme serves its contriver in building with great skill a long and gradual ascent to a climax in full splendor. Rising sequences, mounting sonorities, contribute to the impressiveness of the final conflagration.
