( Junior National Symphony Shows
Youth Shares Musical Progress
By Elena de Sayn
The debut of the newly founded
Junior National Symphony Or
chestra in Constitution Hall yes
terday afternoon w* a great event
in the lives of 98 boys and girls
who form it. To those who at
tended the concert, it was
evidence that youth shares
abundantly in the musical prog
ress made by the city and has
attained at this stage the pinnacle
of its ambition—to play under a
conductor of a major symphony
orchestra, such as Howard
Mitchell. The foundation of this
orchestra gives also a promise to
hundreds of other young people
and provides an incentive to work.
Only a score of years ago, at
the time the National Symphony
Orchestra was founded, such a
large teen-age ensemble would
have been unthinkable. It is,
however, the indirect influence of
that orchestra during formative
years of the city's children, the
part music plays now in the edu
cational system of Washington
auu biic cAuciicxicr ui ibd un;ai
music teachers, that gets the
credit for the Junior National
Symphony's leaping into existence
almost overnight.
Incredible as it may seem, it
took only seven or eight rehearsals
to bring the young musicians into
shape. This could not have been
accomplished had it not been for
the foundation laid in the young
sters by thove in charge of their
early musical education. It is un
fortunate that not more curiosity
was displayed by adults to fill
the house and to see what the 27
schools represented there had
accomplished.
The choice of the program made
possible a concert estimate of va
rious sections and of the general
ensemble. The "best over-all re
sults were achieved in Beethoven’s
"Egmont Overture": Bizet’s "Car
men Suite,” with some ex
cellent woodwind playing; in
Strauss’ “Thunder and Lightning
Polka” where the percussion sec
tion had its say so; in the Rodgers
Bennett “Oklahoma” selections
and in Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes
Forever” used as an encore. Here,
three flutists and a whole section
of trumpets were lined up in the
solo parts in full view of the audi
ence. The orchestra sounded big.
Sibelius’ “Finlandia” closed the
concert.
D. C. Composers’ Program.
Another display of local talent,
this time from the adult world,
took place last night in the Phil
lips Gallery. Assisted by promi
nent resident artists, the Wash
ington Composers’ Club gave its
annual program of compositions
oy us seven members.
Honors went also to a resident
poet. Clarence Dan Blachly of
Takoma Park, whose two poems
"Where Does It Go?” and “Sway
ing Reed," were set to music by
R. Dean Shure. However, Mr
Blachly was not the only poet
present in the audience. As the
evening progressed, it was dis
closed that Mr. Shure was respon
sible for the words in his "Dream
Clouds.” a wedding song composed
in 1925, and Mary Howe for the
French text to her lilting "Ber
ceuse. ' Both of these songs called
forth enthusiastic applause from
the capacity audience.
But it was the piano that formed
the solid basis of the evening and
was uncommonly w'ell played.
Hilda Offerman presented an early
work by La Salle Spier, revised by
him two years ago, his "Sonata in
B Minor,” with its catchy "Scotch
Scherzo.” Charlotte Dunham
brought out Emerson Meyers' "So
nata.” representative of the mod
ern idiom and brimming over with
the good spirits and the abundant
vitality of the composer. Dorothy
Radde Emery and Bernice Hannan
McDaniel played Mrs. Emery's en
tertaining "Suite.” based on three
Neopolitan songs for two pianos,
and consisting of "Bagpipers,”
"Serenade” and "At the Fair.”
Piano was again the feature in
Mrs. Howe’s new setting for songs
she composed earlier, now ar
ranged by her for voice and two
pianos. The skillful performance
of Evelyn Swarthaut and of Mr.
Meyers, combined with the artistic
singing of Katharine Hansel, so
prano. stressed the originality of
the "Viennese Waltz," of her
"When I Died in Berners Street”
and added lovelieness to the "Ber
ceuse.”
Accompanied by Harry McClure,!
Alyce Bennett, contralto, had the
difficult assignment to sing against
1 the piano. The reverential spirit
which inspired William Graves to
write "Autumn” and “The Last
Supper,” was reflected in Mrs.
Bennette's excellent delivery. Mr.
Shure’s vocal numbers suited par
ticularly well Margaret Barnwell’s
soprano and her bird-like top reg
ister. She was ably accompanied
at the piano by Dorothy Bailey.
