Music Season .

Dr. Sevitzky Conducts Difficult Work

By HENRY BUTLER Verdi's “Requiem” was a powerfully dramatic conclusion to the In« dianapolis Symphony season yesterday afternoon at the Murat, More than any other comparable choral work, the “Requiem” interprets the mysteries of death and and Sternity in terms of operatic

That comment has been sometimes made in criticism of the Verdi composition. Some listeners, preferring the relative austerity of Bach or Brahms, find the “Requiem” emotionally over-intense. The work is prodigiously difficult, & fact which I suspect contributes to Fabien Sevitzky’s evident enthusiasm for it. ‘With great energy and concentration, Dr. Sevitzky kept soloists, orchestra and chorus together in some of the trickiest passages to be found in choral music. Miss Robertson Successful Yesterday's soloists were Ingrid Robertson, soprano; Mary Van Kirk, Metropolitan contralto; David Lloyd, tenor, and James Pease, bassbaritone.

called for some Italian-operatic high, sustained notes and some deceptive changes of key, was pretty generally successful. I think her voice, like Miss Van Kirk's, is more remarkable for volume than for quality; but since much of the Verdi demands range and power, it was fortunate both women could sing above the orchestra and chorus. Miss Van Kirk, as is appropriate in the Met, has enough vocal kilowatts to make a Wagnerian dragon cringe. She sustained the meszsosoprano melodic line with vigor and flexibility. Mr. Lloyd's Tones Good Despitea slight constrictedthroaty quality, peculiar to oratorio tenors, Mr. Lloyd has some fine tones. So has Mr. Pease, native Hoosier from Richmond, who was

the orchestra. Verdi wrote so much string-and-wind calisthenics into the “Requiem” score that all the quartet of soloists have to work mightily. Verdi learned as he went on, progressing, for example, from “H Trovatore” to “Otello.” I had the
