By HENRY BUTLER . Judging a music= school concert 1s a diffeutt “and delicate matter, especially for a critic unfamiliar 3 with previous standards achieved by r the school. 4 . That's why this reviewer would { rather discuss the snow storm than the Jordan conservatory annual ok | concert, which was given last night . ! {at the Murat. i The snow storm, incidentally, and a conflicting assignment prevented this reviewer from hearing Norman Phelps’ “Dramatic Overture,” the {second number on last night's pro(gram. Mr. Phelps, who is chdirman of the graduate division and ‘the theory department at Jordan, might like to hear that comments among the .audience during intermission were highly favorable towards his composition. Mozart's Concerto

What The Times can honestly report on begins with Roger Cush{man’s performance of Mozart's piial | ano concerto in A, accompanied by the Jordan orchestra. With no hostile reflection on Mr. Cushman’s highly competent per- # | formance, it can be assumed that a department: head in a reportedly ig | well endowed music school can alBiready play his instrument. It can also be assumed that, if {the school is on its toes, there must jg be capable student soloists. And Rithe community housing the music i (school may pardonably ask why a student should not be selected as id soloist. for that school's annual concert, wi. Philharmonic Choir R| Clearly the best thing on last night's program was Joseph Laut$i ner's Jordan-Butler Philharmonic 8 |choir. Mr. Lautner has done more Ri for Indianapolis than the city realizes.

Christmas hymns are wonderful to hear. And Christmas hymns sung by| the Indianapolis Symphonic choir | with an orchestra accompaniment | furnished by Fabien Sevitzky and the Indianfpolis Symphony orchestra are amazingly inspiring. Last night the choir and the or-| chestra had their fina] rehearsal at the Athenaeum prior to their ap- | pearance at tonight's Municipal Christmas concert at 8 p. m. in Cadle Tabernacle. Rich and vibrant sounds of chorus and orchestra filled the greenwalled, pink-ceilinged Athenaeum auditorium as Dr. Sevitzky put the 235 singers and instrumentalists through their paces. And while Dr. Sevitzky worked hard at the task of keeping singers

i youngsters with his own enthu- - siasm for choral singing, he has i Ri given the city a notion of what £5 TIT i might be accomplished here if peov 8 ple were interested. Like the late J. Fred Wolle of, 3 j Curls! ( Gurls! Curls! X|Bethiehem, Pa. who built the best = fy part of his nationally famed Beth0 | lehem Bach choir from high school | 5 youngster voices, Mr. Lautner knows xT how to get the much-maligned

younger set passionately interested in good music. If you don't belleve that, you should have watched Mr, Lautner's fine ‘choir singing , Be Joyful,” from Bach's g| Christmas oratorio, What this reviewer would like to | hear, and what Indianapolis would like to hear, would be Mr. Lautner 8! conducting a much larger choir— =| 5ay around 300 voices—in the “Glorin in’ Excelsis” from Bach's'B minor Mass. That would be an excellent Christmas present to the city,

this reviewer has heard plenty of flaws in rehearsals of the Indian- & | apolis Symphony orchestra. Somehow they jot ironed out. Mpre authoritative and energetic conducting could iron out a lot of flaws in the Jordan orchestra. - The program concluded with ! Prokofiefl’s “Lieutenant Kije” suite, well-worn “Rakoczy March” of Berlion Jordan should give more largescale concerts. This annual deal is unfair to the youngsters, among whom there are plenty of first-rate talents. We'd all like to hear them more often. And wé'd certainly like to hear Mr. Lautner’s choir more often. :

schooled voice, Miss Johnston should prove a big hit tonight. In rehearsing Riebold's “Spirit of Christmas,” an orchestral-choral |arrangement of five famous Christ{mas carols, Dr. Sevitzky and the | singers and orchestra got as far as {the end of “Oh! Come, All Ye Faithful.” Then the maestro rapped with {his baton and said, “Chorus!” There was silence. More Movement In his customary deliberate speech, Dr. Sevifzky said, Maybe you are accustomed to singing it slowly. 1 like more movement. Let ug try it again” The second try was a lot more effective. Other numbers on tonight's program will include “A Fanfare for Christmas,” without accompaniment; SaintSaens “Carnival of the Animals” played by the orchestra with Edwin Biltcliffe and William Pelz as duopianists; Dr. Sevitzky's arrangement of Stephen Foster melodies, and ‘Tchaikovsky's “Nutcracker” suite—~H.
