78REVIWS AND NEW MUSIC
80(Carl Fischer, New York)
82Two songs, by Charles Sanford Skilton. The titles are Departure and The Sea Lands.—These are very expressive songs with accompaniments so brilliant and well developed that they are in the nature of almost symphonic settings of the poems' moods. Works in modern vein though not excessive, and fine, serious conceptions. Mr. Skilton should be proud of them, and so should America.
84Straussiana, for voice and piano. Arranged by Estelle Liebling.—This is a very brilliant, difficult and effective waltz song suitable for voices of the high coloratura type. There is a simplified writing for voices of limited range, but the music is still difficult and will be possible only for accomplished singers.
86My Beloved Nina, words and music by A. Buzzi-Peccia. This is a Spanish serenade of a very characteristic color. The tunes are very good and the accompaniment brilliant. A well made and effective song that will appeal to singers.
88(White-Smith Co., Boston)
90Thou, Bethlehem, anthem, by F. Leslie Calver.—A brilliant work with a splendid Hosanna at the opening and an equally fine and effective close. It is an anthem that is sure to be welcomed by choirs everywhere.
92O Little Town of Bethlehem, Anthem, by H. L. Harts. An anthem with several solos and violin obligato. The tunes are simple and pretty and the entire work sure in its effects. It is easy and well written.
94(J. Fischer & Bro., New York)
96Rush Hour in Hongkong, by Abram Chasin.—A difficult piece of piano jazz. Very good!
98Etude Appassionata, by Abram Chasin.—A difficult and interesting octave study for piano. The idiom is original, the writing harsh and very effective. It is altogether an unusual piece of music.
100(Ascherberg, Hopwood & Crew, London)
102Melodie in E, by Rachmaninoff, arranged for cello by W. H. Squire.—A beautiful piece of music and it makes a splendid cello piece.
104(Chappell & Co., London)
106A Border Home, by M. F. Phillips; The Dawn Has a Song, by M. F. Phillips; Pals of Yesterday, the song of the British Legion by A. C. Mackenzie; Song of the Little Folk, by Eric Coates; Friendships, by Hermann Lohr; It's a Year Almost, by Hermann Lohr; In Late September, by Lois Barker; Wings, by Guy d'Hardelot; In Quiet Country Places, by Guy d'Hardelot; The Song of the Homeward Bound, by R. C. Clarke; Pour Toi, by Charles Gordon; Some Crimson Rose, by Aileen Vernon; The Sphinx, by Bernard Rolt; The Rose and the Musk, by Roger Jalowicz.—These are all songs of a more or less popular nature. For convenience they have been numbered: (1) is a vigorous out-door song of great merit; (2) one of these joyous things in 12-8 time—it is not particularly joyous; (3) a fine march; (4) a lullaby, quite pretty; (5-6) Hermann Lohr can be terribly disappointing—these songs are better than most but they are not Lohr's best by any means; (7) Lois writes her own words, also her own music, both are soft—very soft; (8-9) Guy d'Hardelot also can be terribly disappointing; (10) Clarke is a bulky composer—a manly man for men! (11) a ballad with a refrain that does not quite come off; (12) a very good little song with a melody of much appeal! (13) a humorous song with a tune that is a foxtrot—very good, one of the best of its kind! (14) a very excellent short ballad which should become popular.
108Melody in C for violin and piano by Howard Talbot.—A simple melody of moderate difficulty and a good deal of charm.
110(Society for the Publication of American Music, New York)
112Sonata for harp and piano, Carlos Salzedo; Sonata for violoncello and piano, Aurelio Giorni; Trio for piano, violin and violoncello, Frederic Ayres.—It will cause general regret that the publications of the Society for the Publication of American Music this year, and sometimes in past years, have been by foreign born Americans. Not that there is any prejudice against the foreign born, but that native Americans would like to feel that their own children could be found in open competition musically superior to the foreigner. The selections of the Society are made with absolute openmindedness and fairness. If anything, the sympathy leans in the direction of the native composer. But when compositions are submitted and the works of the foreign born Americans are manifestly superior to those of the natives there is nothing for the Society to do but to accept them and hope for improvement in future years in our own output.
114This year the works published are of the highest merit. They are all three of them real works, really useful, and likely to be played. That, after all, is the final criterion. If works published are never played one can hardly feel that their publication was very evidently useful. But here we have three works of importance. The Salzedo composition is an extraordinary work from every point of view and one may safely predict its sure success. The Giorni sonata is a valuable addition to the literature, already large, of the cello, and it has an alternate printing for viola which may prove useful. Finally the Ayres work is finely melodic and vigorous, and has a certain character that makes it sound, to the ears of this reviewer, American. It is very brilliant. It is a work that every American must be proud of. And it is a work that ought to be played. It ought to be played without any push or pull on the part either of Mr. Ayres or of the Society for the Publication of American Music. And if it is not so played, there will then be some reason to talk about prejudice—and it will not be nice talk
