Cincinnati Symphony and Dayton Westminster Choir to Be Heard in Joint Program Monday Night

AN auspicious closing for the sixth annual season of orchestra concerts sponsored by the Indianapolis Symphony Society, Ona B. Talbot managing director, will be the Spring Festival of Music next Monday evening at the Murat, presented by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra of 100 men, Fritz Reiner conductor, and the Dayton Westminster Choir of sixty voices under the direction of John Fin’ey Williamson. A notable program has been specially arranged for this musical even, which is attracting all music lovers from every part of the State of Indiana as well as Indianapolis.

As for the Cincinnati orchestra it needs no introduction to Indianapolis, nor its splendid director, Fritz Reiner, a musician of commanding itelligence, of extraordinary authority before an orchestra —a man of will and fire; musical in his insight and his conceptions. Mr. Reiner is a virtuoso in the best sense, he has the born—and also highly developed—sense of conducting. The study of what lies in the manipulation of the conductor's baton is one of the most fascinating things in all music. The Dayton Westminster choir tvas founded six years ago by John Finley Williamson, who has been director since its organization. The choir was the logical outgrowth of a system of choral directing and teaching built up by Mr. Williamson after much study, practical experimenting and research. Its aim is first, worship, and second, highest artistry. There were sixty voices in the original chorus,, and the present Westminster choir has kept to that number at home and on tour. The Dayton Westminster choir is now a | national figure in church music, j But it has not gained the laurels j now worn without a severe struggle, i Tire first season after its inception j the choir was invited to sing for a j week at Winona Lake, Ind. So great j was the enthusiasm of the members j of this group that they paid their j own railroad fares to Winona, room ! and board only being guaranteed, [ no salary, of course. Artistically and technically the j week was so worth-while that Mr. j Williamson decided to start giving j sacred concerts in and around Day- j ton. The first concert cost him SIOO j of money that was none too plentiful.

But it paid big in advertisement, j and the next one brought better re- j suits. Two years later the choir i started out under the expert man- ! agement of Martin H. Hanson New j York. Each succeeding year the tour has | been extended and receptions ac- J corded, more encouraging. The j 1928 tour included more than thir- j ty-five cities throughout the east j and the press everywhere, particu- j larly in New York, Pittsburgh and j Trrcnto. has been more than liberal j with their praises. The program j follows: “Toccata and Fugi:". C major,” (arranged bv Leo WMnwi Bacb n“Hodie Christus natus cst ’ Palestrina (1524-15941 Christmas motet for double chorus “Crucifix I.otti (1661-1740) For doubl" chorus “Sing Ye to the Lord” iai Poco Allegro i tbi Allegro Vivace )....Bach 11685-17501 i •’Orel la a Rrjirit David Huch Jones 1 “Alleluia, Christ Is Risen Kopolyotl —lntermission - “Symphony No. 5” iFrom the New | World Svmohony) Dvorak j Chorus and Orchestra tt a a Mme. amelita galli-curci. ! whose Indianapolis concert j was to have been Feb. 19. will come i on Sunday afternoon, April 29, to | the Murat in a recital of songs for j which her thousands of admirers j ars anxiously awaiting. This con- j cert will mark the close of the Sunday afternoon series of concerts j under the direction of the Ona B. | Talbot Fine Arts Enterprises. Galli-Curci has stirred multitudes innumerable to wild enthusiasm: she has moved those same multitudes to the opposite emotion cf deep tenderness. Drawn closer by the magic of her personality, strangers feel impelled to write to her. Hundreds of such letters reach her. All carry word of the J affection she inspired, the happiness j she brought. Manv letters of another type come | to Galli-Curci; they tell of comfort I that her singing brings in loneliness j and trouble, and the consoling uplift it has meant.

Sunday School Lesson

The International Uniform Sunday School lesson for April 15. Transfiguration and Service. Mark 9:2-8, 17, 18, 35-29. Editor of The Congregationalist BY \VM. E. GILROY, D. D. THE title of our lesson emphasizes the point of view from which the Transfiguration is lightly to be considered. It is a strange and wonderful story, and without this clear association of it with service we might tend to think jof it as something removed from the plane of ordinary daily life. Consider the facts. Jesus took Peter, James, and John—the three discipfes of outstanding personality and intensity—up into the mountains with him. Just why others were not taken is not made clear. Perhaps the meaning of the experience might have been lost upon them. But there upon the mountain Jesus, in some way, was transfigured before the three disciples. All that occurred and the way in which it occurred is not made plain, but the disciples had a beatific vision of Christ, something more glorious even than the effect of his earthly presence. His garments became glistening and of a whiteness so pure and beautiful that nothing that they had ever seen approached it. Effect on Disciples ! The effect upon the disciples was i striking. They forgot all earthly : relationships and tasks. They became engrossed with the glory of the vision and with their sense of privilege, though fear and awe dominated their thoughts. Peter, the ready spokesman, more ready perhaps to speak than to understand the significance of what he was spying, suggested willingness to stay always in that atmosphere and in that experience. But there came a voice emphasizing the spiritual reality of the incident. “This is my beloved son; hear ye him.” And with this voice the suj pernatural aspect of the vision van- ! ished and they saw no one save Jesus only. Has not this incident been recorded not only for what it reveals of the method by which the faith of the disciples was strengthened, bnt for its plain implications cocerning the relation of the highest and richest experience of religion to practical tasks of service? One of the strangest things in the history of the religious life is the way in which experiences of ecstasy have been made a substitute for practical Christian living. Jesus emphasized this when he spoke of those who called him

J operatic solos, duets and trios which have made these artists j famous in Chicago Grand Opera, j The choir will present, choral exI cerpts from no less than eight operas. The difficult orchestral accompaniments will be played on two pianos by Bomar Cramer and Williard McGregor of this city who will | assist Matthews the choir’s accompanist. The women’s section will be heard in the popular and beautiful chorus “Every Flower” from Puccini's “Madame Butterfly.” From this same opera will be heard the “Humming Chorus” for tenons and sopranos—a number seldom heard in concert form. The men’s chorus will be heard in Wagner’s stirring “Battle Hymn of the Romans” from Rienozi. The program will open with “Boito’s “Prologue” from “Mefistofele.” Perhaps the choir’s best effects will be heard in the singing of “The Coronation Scene” from Mousgorgsky’s “Boris Godounof” , which will be sung at the close of j the first part of the program. a a a

“Lord, Lord,” but who did not do the things that he said. The ancient phophet emphasized it when he said that “to obey is better than sacrifice.” It is easier to become emotional, even about one’s duty, than it is to do it, and it is possible to glory in the cross of Christ, and dream about bearing the cross, when in actuality we shrink from every real suffering and sacrifice. Life’s Ecstacies Life, of course, would mean little without its ecstatic experiences. There is a place for emotion; there is a place for glory and glistening. A man whose eyes have never been dazzled with spiritual beauty is not likely to have eyes that can see rightly the common things of life. The failure in the sphere of higher vision marks a defective vision upon the lower planes. The life that has in it no element of transfiguration is so dull and supine that there will be in it little helpful to humanity. Moreover, for every life there is an experience of transfiguration if we are able to ascend the mountain and to realize it. Life, in fact, is rich with wonderful things that lift us up above the common tasks of trial and drudgery, and that give to us a sense of the glory of blue skies and large atmosphere and ric hbeauty in a universe, even where sin abounds. These transfigurations of nature are but symbols of the transfifuration of the soul, of the way in which at times God spreads the wealth of his spitual beauty to the eyes of his children. The Results But let any man who seeks or who realizes these experiences beware of the conditions and the results. To feed the emotional life with not outlet in practical service is to build up a great tragedy of self-deception. Perhaps it was this that Paul had party in mind when he warned the early Christians about thinking themselves to be something when they were nothing. If we have found the experience of transfiguration, the evidence of it must come in transfigured lives. If we would see Christ in all his glory, let us be assured that it will be a Christ who calls us to duty and service just as the conclusion of this ancient experience of transfiguration came in the revealing of the Jesus that the disciples knew in daily contact and in the Devine voice, “This is my beloved son; hear ye Him.”
