Saxophone Gets Dignity Of a Concert Instrument

National Symphony Performance To Introduce Concertino Written For It as a Classical Vehicle

By Alice Eversmatt. Today's concert by the National Symphony Orchestra will Introduce

a real novelty In the form of a concertino for saxophone and orchestra by Jacques Ibert played by the foremost saxophonist of the day, Sigurd Rascher. This promotion of the saxophone to the dignity of a concert Instrument will surprise many, yet it Is but coming Into its own, fulfilling the destiny that Its Inventor hoped for It. However, it requires an artist to piay it ana hj give n me noaimy^ of tone and style that can reveal its full capabilities, and several special- ists on this instrument are working toward its greater recognition as a vehicle for the higher type of music.

While its literature is small as yet, Mr. Ibert has undoubtedly set a fashion in so successfully writing a concertino for it that has already been acclaimed both in this country

Review of Recordings A study in comparison is offered

to those who are interested in Beethoven in general and in his “Symphony No. 5 in C Major” in particular, made possible by a re- cent release of this work by the Victor Co. under Toscanini’s baton at the head of the N. B. C. Sym- phony Orchestra.

There are already other inter- pretations of this symphony avail- able; however none seem to bring Beethoven’s genius to the fore with more strength and conviction; Bee- thoven, militant apd triumphant, towers above his creation, a sturdy fighter, measuring strength with “Fate, which knocks at his door,” as he himself elucidated the open- ing measures of the famous sym- phony, an utterance which is re- peated throughout the work under this or another guise.

This recording reveals Tosca- nini at his best, one which makes him the peer of all conductors. This is one time when a leader has reached the level of a creator and stands on a par with him. The listener is awestruck by the im- mensity of Beethoven’s genius, which under the frail hands of the conductor assumes unsuspected pro- portions. It goes without saying that to hear this recording is an ex-

perience. Made Permanent.

There is hardly another Russian composer who has achieved such universal popularity as has Tschai- kowsky, whose works form an im- portant part of every conductor’s repertoire. Among these, his sym- phonic poem, “Francesca da Ri- mini,” holds a place of prominence.

a a

Played by the Philharmonic Sym- phony Orchestra of New York with John Barbirolli conducting, this performance was made permanent through mechanical means by the same company that issued Beetho- ven’s symphony and offers another object lesson in the difference of treatment of abstract subjects by each of the above-mentioned com- posers.

Tschaikowsky is said to have worked arduously on his symphonic poem which he conceived at first as an opera. Difficulties put in his way in the acquisition of rights for the libretto made him write music without words yet without ever

losing sight of the text which in- spired it. Mr. Barbirolli gives the work a comprehensive reading and infuses it with a romantic and an

imaginative element which makes it emotionally satisfying.

Vivid Passages. The chromatic passages depicting

gusts of wind are vivid and sinister while the melodious strains relieve the tensity by their lovely tone quality, which Mr. Barbirolli knows how to extract from his orchestra.

A posthumous Quartet of Schu- bert “No. 9 in G Minor” played by the Coolidge String Quartet, Wil- liam Kroll and Nicolai Berezowsky, violins: Nicholas Moldavan, viola, and Victor Gottlieb, cello, finds four interpreters par excellence to do it justice. The warmth and vigor of Schubert’s music is known to his admirers, who will undoubtedly wel- come another masterpiece performed with such finesse of detail and shad- ing as given by the Coolidge group.

ELENA DE SAYN. * *

Popular Music Le jazz hot truly dominates the

latest assortment of dance pieces to be offered by the record firms. ,

Dominating' this group, in turn, is none other than Glenn Miller, who, with two pairings, sets an all- time Miller high. At the head is “Tuxedo Junction,” an infectious Job that makes up in rhythmic effects what it lacks for a tune. On the reverse side “Danny Boy” reveals the band in a hon- eyed mood; muted brass and singing sax blending in an arrange- ment that will melt in the mouth, to coin a phrase. The second brace includes “The Woodpecker Song" and “Let’s All Sing Together,” two bright, fast-moving bits that are flavored by attractive vocalizing. Charley Barnet rates more than honorable mention in this class by virtue of. his slow-bounce “Tapping at the Tappa” and “Comanche War Dance,” although the latter could do with less tom-tom virtuosity.

* * * *

Style Is Smart. Too much welcome can’t be ex-

tended Enric Madriguera who re- turns with his orchestra after a long absence from the whirling disks. Happily, the group is essen- tially unchanged: The Madriguera style has lost none of its smartness, none of its engaging subetlety of instrumentation and has, in fact, further benefited by addition of an unbeatable feminine song group. All of which is testified by the per- formance of “Vereda Tropical” (Ha- vana for a Night) and "The Sad- dest Man in Town.” Patricia Gilmore does some excellent torch- ing for "The Saddest Man” on the Columbia release.—Johnny Green, piano and band, aid the cause of “Too Romantic,” coming hit from Bing Crosby’s latest film—Eddy Duchin, also piano and band, play Cole Porter’s “I Concentrate on You” and “I Happen to Be in Love”; three stars for the latter.—On the silly side: Jerry Colonna makes uproarious shambles out of "I Love Life,” while Johnny Messner’s boys, with Prof. Koleslaw at the

i .i

console of the toy piano, intro- duce a fetching novelty entitled "Ah .!” Correct: "Ah .!”

* * * *

Robeson Again. Superlatives have long been ex-

pended on thfe singing of Paul Robeson. It is enough to say that Victor has just issued his “Rosary” (Nevin) and “A Perfect Day” (Bond).—Reproduction of the deli- cate voice of Jessica Dragonette proves less than flattering to this singer of old favorites. Nevertheless, her offering of “Love’s Own Waltz” (Tschaikowsky’s Sleeping Beauty) is otherwise satisfying while the quasi-fox trot tempo in- flicted on "Ciribiribin” is out of place.—For the salon: The Bruns- wick Orchestra presents "Artist’s Life” and "Emperor” waltzes while a Victor ensemble led by Barnabas von Geczy rejuggles selections from the "Merry Widow.” Both 10-inch recordings are worth having.—Inci- dentally, the Victor Co. now purveys a low-cost record rack of fabricated composition.

Symphonic Concert At Howard Chapel

The Howard University Student Council presents the Howard Uni- versity R. o. T. C. Symphonic Con- cert Band in concert in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel this eve- ning at 8 o’clock, led by John J. Brice.

This concert will be played for students, faculty, friends and trus- tees of the university. This organ- ization is composed of 65 young men and one young lady, Barbara Lacey.

| The, band’s guests will be the local music critics and editors; Dr. Han. Kindler, conductor, National Sym- phony Orchestra; Sylvia Meyer, harpist, National Symphony Or- chestra; Edwin Olin Downes, music critic and editor, New York Times; trustees of the university and many members of Congress. Many out-of- town visitors will also be present.

k

and in Europe. The work was origi- nally written for 11 instruments as accompaniment to the saxophone, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, trumpet, two violins, viola, cello, double-bass, and called “Concertino da Camera,” but with the strings augmented to orchestra size, it is adapted for use in a large hall.

About a year ago the saxophone was the subject of a controversy in New York City. A high school student appealed to the Deputy Mayor for advice as to his right to practice the saxophone in face of the neighbors’ threats to call the police to stop him. The Deputy Mayor replied with some fervor that the “saxophone was a dangerous instrument” and that "Toscanini would not give a saxophone even standing room off behind the harp.” He advised the boy to study the cello and offered him $5 toward buying one. In his letter the Deputy Mayor further said that “there is something about a saxo- phone that makes the most ordinary people either burst into tears or cheerfully do murder.”

stand of Musicians. It was then that musicians of the

city and particularly of the broad* casting company entered into the dispute and pointed out that Tos- canini had used two saxophonists, not behind the harp, but in the front row of the woodwinds, not so long ago in a performance of Ravel’s “Bolero,” and that many composers had included a saxo- phone In the orchestral distribution in their works, notably Richard Strauss, who wrote for four saxo- phones in his “Domestic Sym- phony”; Berlioz, who uses it in “L’Arlesienhe,” and Krenek, in his opera “Jonny Spielt Auf,” and, of course, Debussy in his “Rhapsody for Saxophone and Orchestra,” also to be heard on today’s program. Meyerbeer, Ambroise Thomas and Berlioz felt the need of this instru- ment's tonal quality in the or- chestra.

Nevertheless, the Deputy Mayor’s feeling toward the saxophone is shared by many. With artists of sincere intentions using it to more

musical ends it will not be long until its finest qualities will be uni- versally recognized. The arguments for and against the saxophone have waged fiercely for years and the result has been a loss to the more serious music end the almost ex-

clusive adoption of it into the realm of dance music.

Yet the need of just such an

instrument in the orchestra has been felt for a long time and ad- vocated by such masters of or-

chestral coloring as Berlioz. It renders a midway service between the woodwinds and the brass, and by this means can enrich the com-

poser’s palette and add a new tint to the orchestral tone. Modem composers f are feeling their way more and more in the use of the saxophone, and already much has been accomplished, yet its greatest effectiveness can be achieved only when there is a complete under- standing of its technique, its color and its ability for the creation of mood.

Requires urcii anu.

While there is progress being made in the employment of the saxophone in the orchestra as a solo instrument of concert caliber, it has been but mildly pushed forward. More has been written for it in ensemble form than as a solo performer. Perhaps one of the reasons for this is the lack of serious musicians on this in- strument, for the saxophone, while easy to play, requires unusual skill to play well. It is capable of amaz-

ing agility and lovely variety of sweet, if aloof, tone. Its haunting beauty, however, must be handled by an artist whose knowledge and re-

spect for his instrument guide his playing of it. When such a one is the performer, infinite variety can be brought into its tone quite unlike the ordinary stridency or buffoonery usually associated with it.

The faith of the inventor, Adolph Sax, in the ultimate success of the saxophone and appreciation of its musical possibilities, led him to fight jealously for it and guard his rights to every bit of its popularity. A gifted son of a gifted father, his name goes down in history for the improvements that he devised for wind instruments. The genius of the father must have been excep- tional for he began his career as a cabinet maker with only a mediocre knowledge of music. From this me- chanical beginning he went on to making wind instruments and soon

became knowrvor his clarinets and bassoons. His son, who was later to find fame as the inventor of the saxophone, followed in his father’s footsteps with the difference that he was well grounded in music at the Brussels Conservatory and an excep- tional player of the clarinet.

Won Many Medals. He could not resist his bent for

improving all the instruments that he was interested in besides invent- ing new principles which be applied in many unique ways. He had no

money but plenty of Initiative, mak- ing friends of influential people and ably advertising his instruments. He won many medals at various exhibi- tions and soon had a large place of business and the recognition of great musicians who helped him with their encouragement.

His most important instrument, the saxophone, has had a hard climb upward. Having first held supremacy in the French military bands, it gradually came to the fore as a swing music interpreter par excellence. Emerging from that state, it now bids fair to be ac- claimed as a legitimate concert in- strument and may there reign with increasing success as composers turn their attention to writing especially for it

Today the orchestra, under Dr. Klndler's direction, will play Howard Hanson's “Romantic Symphony No. 3,” Leo Sowerby’s overture “Comes Autumn Time" and Paul Creston’s “Two Chorlc Dances.” On Wednes- day the program will be Beetho- ven’s "Leonore Overture No. 3,” Manfredini’s “Sinfonia No. 10,” Saint-Saens' “Le Rouet d'Omphale” and “Salome’s Dance” from the opera.

Pianist and Teacher To Offer Recital at

Woman’s Club Edward Matthews Dawson, IV,

concert pianist and teacher, will be heard In a recital Saturday evening at 8 o’clock, at the Woman's Club of Chevy Chase, Md.

Mr. Dawson, a native of Wash- ington, has lived almost all of his life in Chevy Chase. In his early years, he studied under Virginia Bestor, a well-known teacher of Washington and nearby Virginia. He later entered Peabody Conserva- tory of Music at Baltimore, studying under Charles Cooper and Austin Conradi and was graduated from

there in 1932. Since his graduation he has continued his studies with Mr. Conradi for a number of years, during which period he has devoted the major portion of his time to the work incident to his concert career, while greatly expanding his scope as a teacher as well.

His program Saturday evening will include compositions by Bach, Bee- thoven, Chopin, Sibelius and Liszt, and two of the high lights of the evening will be the Beethoven “Waldstein Sonata” and the “12th Hungarian Rhapsody,” by Liszt.

Benefit Recital Lucile Barrow Turner, who has

been called the Cornelia Otis Skin- ner of the South, because of her genius in giving dramatic sketches of Southern types, will come to Washington for a recital in the small ballroom of the Willard Hotel Fri- day night, March 15. Mrs. Turner is being presented by the Washing- ton Alumnae of the Randolph- Macon College for Women in their annual benefit for the student loan fund of the college.

This gifted diseuse is as noted for her rich contralto voice as her dra- matic talent. Since her special training both in voice and dramatic work, she has not done very much with this work professionally until comparatively recently. However, from the Junior League benefit for their ‘Nursery Training School in Boston, Mass., through programs in Columbia University and Town Hall, New York City, to other professional engagements in Richmond and points South, Mrs. Turner’s skill as a diseuse anti composer and singer of songs on old American Negro folk tunes and topics, has won admira- tion.

Reservations can be made for this program with Mrs. Algernon Gard- iner, Jr.

Recital Here By Tibbett Annual Event

Grace Moore Has Place on Month’s Music Series

Lawrence Tibbett, distinguished American baritone of the Metropol- itan Opera Association and out- standing favorite of millions in con-

cert, radio and motion pictures, comes to Constitution Hall Tuesday evening at 8:30 o’clock, for his ninth consecutive annual recital in Wash- ington. The last seven of Tibbett's appearances in Washington have been made under the auspices of Dorothy Hodgkin Dorsey, who is sponsoring his recital here on Tues- day. Tibbett will make no other con- cert or recital appearance in Wash- ington this season.

Tibbett’s remarkable popularity with Washington audiences reflects his sensational rise to the musical heights in four media without Eu- ropean indorsement or training. A native of Bakersfield, Calif., Tibbett first gained national attention on the occasion of his Metropolitan Opera debut as Ford in “Falstaff,” a suc- cess so Immediate and overwhelm- ing that “Falstaff” was retained in the active repertoire of the Metro- politan for two seasons.*

Mr. Tibbett as usual will be ac- companied by Stewart Wille, pianist, who will contribute a group of piano soli. The program follows:

i. "Defend Her, Hexven,” from "Theo-

dora" __Handel-Lebell "It Was a Lover and His Lass."

to the forthcoming appearance at Constitution Hall on Thursday eve- ning, March 28, at 8:30 o’clock, of Grace Moore, the noted American soprano of the Metropolitan Opera, who was originally scheduled to ap- pear here in recital on January 28, but was taken ill in her hotel suite a few hours before the concert and had to return hurriedly to New York. Those holding tickets for the January 28 performance may use their tickets without the formality of an exchange for the March 28 re- cital. Seats for all performances are available at Mrs. Dorsey’s con- cert bureau, in Droop's, 1300 G street N.W.

A Cappella Program Is Lenten Concert

The Washington A Cappella Choir, directed by Ruby Smith Stahl, which will be heard in its ninth annual lenten concert on

Monday night, March 11, at 8:30 o'clock in Constitutional Hall, will this season include three “request” numbers on its program—among them being the ever-popular “Bring a Torch,” as arranged by Dickinson. Another number to be offered be- cause of many requests will be “Lullaby,” by Christiansen, with obligato sung by Marjorie Brett, and “Ave Maria,” by Wetzel, is included in this group.

Many church choirs and choral groups will attend the concert, a number of them coming from out- side the city, as in previous years. A large section of the gallery at Con- stitution Hall has again this year been set apart by the A Cappella Choir for the use of high school students interested in ensemble singing, who have been invited to be guests of the choir for this concert.

Mi-Gareme Concert By Georgetown Club

The traditional Mi-Careme con- cert of the Georgetown University Glee Club, the only concert given on the campus during the academic year, will be presented at 8:30 o'clock this evening in Gaston Hall.

This season marks the 20th anni- versary of Dr. Edward P. Donovan as director of the glee club, and many of his friends in Washington, as well as the Georgetown faculty and student body, will attend in his honor. Under Dr. Donovan’s direc- tion the glee club has progressed in recent years until now it has a chorus of 65, representing all the departments of the university.

Kervin N. Cosgrove, violinist, will be the soloist. Mr. Cosgrove is also president of the glee club this year.

Metropolitan Trip In response to many requests.

Metropolitan Tours has scheduled a second all-expense trip to the Met- ropolitan Opera in New York for Saturday, March 16.

Arrangements for the second will be similar to the highly popular tour on February 24. The moderate all-expense rate will again include round-trip rail fare between Wash- ington and New York, luncheon on the train and a good seat for the matinee performance of the Metro- politan Opera Company. The party will leave Union* Station at 9 am. March 16 and, returning directly after the opera performance, will arrive back in Washington at 11:30 pm. the same day. The opera to be presented on this date will not be announced by the Metropolitan until tomorrow.
