DePauw Has Six Concerts
First Spring Music Fete
Held by School.
With a modest but successful beginning already made, DePauw University has launched the commendable proposal to bring Indiana an annual spring festival of music on its Grenecastle campus. The week-end just passed saw a threeday series of six concerts, presented by faculty and students of the uni-
versity musical school and by guest
soloists.
It has been many years since the |:
state could look forward to hearing the great choral works of musical literature anywhere closer than Cin-
- cinnati, except on rare occasions. |
But DePauw plans to bring such things to our very door, for which good wishes and support are in order. Clavichord Recital
The opening festival gave listeners the welcome opportunity of hearing such things as a recital of ancient keyboard music played on the clavichord, virginal and piano by Gwladis Luloff; chamber music, including Bach’s “Coffee Cantata.” done by DePauw ensembles, and a string quartet concert by the Guidi Quartet of St. Louis. In addition there were a student orchestra program and a choral concert. Last night, as the closing offering, Haydn's “The Creation” was performed under Bjornar Bergethon’s direction. The soloists were Jane Johnson Burroughs, Indianapolis soprano; Howard Jarratt, tenor, of “ the Ohio Wesleyan University faculty (both DePauw graduates), and George Newton, Indianapolis bass. The DePauw student orchestra and
choral clubs were assisted by choirs |
from the Broadway Methodist Church, Zion Evangelical Church and the Burroughs School of Music in this city, two from Greencastle and one each from Lafayette and Shelbyville. Soloists Praised
In the main, the oratorio was given a pleasing and creditable performance. The combined choruses sang with spirit, assurance and telling tonal effect, despite a rather unconventional seating cystem. The occasion found the soloists in excellent vocal’ condition and, more important, they delivered their allotted - portions with unfailing intelligence, understanding and artistry. It was fortunate that all, being well-schooled singers, abode by their own tempos, for Mr. Bergethon was prone to take the solos at a lagging and unconvinced pace. However, both conductor and orchestra rose to the occasion in the choral portions. Discussion, at least, already is under way for next year’s festival series. Such events are, in all respects, indicative of a growing musical feeling and an artistic maturity in our Midwestern fastnesses. They cannot be encouraged too warmly.

G. G. Barnard Is Dead at 74
Sculptor Had Undertaken Vast: Amount of Work.
NEW YORK, April 95 (U. P)—
Pafrons of George Gray Barnard,
outstanding American sculptor who died yesterday of heart disease at the age of 74, learned today that he had undertaken enough work in his last years to occupy him another lifetime. His rainbow arch that he considered his life’s master work, was left in the plaster model stage after a vicissitous history rivaling that of its creator. Banned from an old stable where he started working on it, and still lacking funds for completion, the arch stands in an abandoned railway power house, a shell of the great monument to peace that he had planned. Mr. Barnard’s works were world famous. campus of Columbia University; “Brotherly Love” is in Norway; his statue of Lincoln, which caused an
art critics’ furore when it was unveiled in Cincinnati in -1917, is in
Manchester, England.
He was stricken in his workshop last week while occupied with what was to have been a gigantic statue of Abel, portraying his dismay as he realized the treachery of Cain. Mr. Barnard’s work was all of the Renaissance type. He cared nothing for modern sculpture, but trudged through rural France for years gathering examples of the rude Gothic art, once finding a priceless torso of Christ serving as a peasant’s. scarecrow, and several early stone virgins propping up vats in wine cellars.
