The “Fire Bird” music is the composer’s condensation of material from the ballet which he wrote on Diaghilev’s commission in 1910. The “Fire Bird” began the composer’s significant association with Diaghilev and his Ballet Russe, first attracted public aitention to the young Russian’s new and startling music and remains today probably the most popular item in Stravinsky's work. The suite to be played here 14 a reorchestration dating from The Converese composition was inspired, the composer states, by a trip to the Santa Barbara Fiesta in 1927. Its various sections are titled “Victory Dance of the First Inhabitants,” “Spauish Padres and EXplorers,” “Land of Poco Tiempo,” “Invasion of the Gringos” and “Midnight at El Paseo.” ” t J 2 SOLOISTS FOR THE first “pop” concert will be Guy and Lois Maier,

Viola Has Hour of Glory

The viola, that “poor relation” of To this, ds to everything which

the orchestral strings, had its hour of glory last night. when Harriet Payne, violist of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, gave a recital of original and transcribed music for the instryment at the World War ‘Memorial. Included in the program were two pieces of the soloist’s compositions, a Nocturne and Burlesca. For these

the near-capacity audience reserved |

their greatest applause. And it was deserved. For in both, Miss Payne had combined a true gift of melody with harmony of ‘interest and originality and an assured sense of form. They are worthy and welcome additions to a meager literature. The recital began with a transcription of the Vitali Chaconne, and continued with the Handel B Minor Concerto and Brahms’ Sonata, Opus 120 No. 2, orginally written for clarinet. The Handel : concerto is one of the priceless gems of all string music, and it is heard so seldom that last night's performance was occasion for rejoicing.
