66MUSICAL COURIER
68the most entertaining part of it and it would be a pity to leave them out. I'm a Jayhawk, the song of the University of Kansas, is a modern jazz piece and made a big hit, and the Penn State song, Nittany Lion, was also very well liked. As to the selected piece, Fordham should be commended upon its choice of the Tenebrae Factae Sunt of Palestrina which the club sang exceedingly well. There was nothing else in the whole list quite as good musically or as difficult.
70The addition at the end of the long program of two numbers sung by the University Glee Club of New York was quite superfluous, as was, also, the Prayer of Thanksgiving, by Kremsner, sung by the massed clubs. The Star Spangled Banner, also sung by the massed clubs, ended the evening.
72Winifred Young Cornish and Lynnwood Farnam
74Winifred Young Cornish, having created an excellent impression at her first and second recitals of the season, attracted a large and enthusiastic audience at her third recital at Town Hall, March 6. The two former recitals were marked by individuality, and it must be said that for the third time she gave an exceptionally interesting program with much originality and individual interpretation.
76She began her program with four Dutch songs, arranged by Josef Hofmann, and followed by three composers of the seventeenth century; Le coucou, Daquin; Pastorale, Scarlatti; and Les petite moulins a vent, Couperin. After these came several numbers from Tschaikowsky's album for the young. These were rendered in a fascinating manner and brought forth additional ones not programmed.
78After this first group by Mrs. Cornish, Lynnwood Farnam played two organ solos, Improvisation-Caprice, Joseph Jongen, and Corege et Litane, Marcel Dupre. Mr. Farnam is always the excellent organist, playing with great beauty, style and effect. He also contributed extra numbers. Mrs. Cornish's second group contained Edward Ballentine's humorous variations on Mary Had a Little Lamb; these delightfully comic little selections are well known now, as they created considerable interest when they were first published. Mrs. Cornish sang them in a humorous vein well fitted for the occasion, and so program notes were unnecessary. Mr. Farnam and Mrs. Cornish proved an excellent combination in recital, and it is to be hoped that they will be heard in other programs in the near future.

82The Friends of Music
84The seventh concert, twelfth season, of the Society of the Friends of Music, Artur Bodanzky, conductor, at Town Hall on March 7, was heard by an audience completely filling the auditorium. It listened with absolute devotion to every note performed, in an ideally classic program devoted to instrumental excerpts of works by Handel and Bach. One might have heard just such a concert in the old Gewandhaus in Leipzig, Reinecke conducting, in 1886, just forty years ago, in the days when Theodore Thomas reigned in Steinway Hall on East Fourteenth street; when Frederic Archer gave organ recitals on a Roosevelt organ in beautiful Chickering Hall, Fifth avenue and 18th street; when there were no automobiles, nor phonographs, nor radio, nor subways—but life was comfortable! Following the Handel concerto grosso for strings in G. Lynnwood Farnam played the fifth organ concerto with beautiful lucidity, and a variety of registration which showed consummate taste, musicianship and entire familiarity with the organ he played—and all from memory. Numerous recalls followed. This was similarly the case with pianist Harold Samuel, who played the Bach concerto in D, incorporating in it clean-cut technic, appropriate poise, and beauty of tonal values, his rhythmical incisiveness prominent throughout. High-class orchestral accompaniments were those conducted by Bodanzky, under whom a suite of Bach music, selected and transcribed by Mahler, closed the concert; in it the celebrated Air for the G string was heard in its original orchestration and key. The concert was commendably short, consuming one hour and twenty minutes.
86N. Y. Philharmonic: Scipione Guidi, Soloist
88A comparatively brief program was the one presented by conductor Furtwangler and the New York Philharmonic, on March 7. The concert opened with the Haydn G major symphony, No. 13, followed by the Mendelssohn E minor concerto for violin, Scipione Guidi, concert-master of the Philharmonic, being the soloist, and the Strauss Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks closing the program.
90The charming, familiar Haydn symphony was given a characteristic graceful and bright reading, the entire work rendered without the usual breaks between movements. Mr. Guidi is a violinist of no mean talent. He gave to the famous concerto an admirable performance; there was brilliance and limpidity in its technical execution, and in the spirit of sincerity and authority there was a scholarly interpretation, which, while beautiful, was never sentimental.
92The Strauss number was just sufficient contrast to leave one with a decided satisfied feeling. This tone-poem with the simple folk-like theme of the prologue and epilogue, which enhances the music in a curious and indescribable way, is a thing built on a philosophic and poetic plane far above the mere crude realism of Till Eulenspiegel's exploits. David Gregory Mason says that he doubts "whether Strauss has ever written anything more perfect or more tender than this wittiest of pieces, in which the wit is yet forgotten in the beauty."
94N. Y. Symphony: Spalding, Soloist
96Albert Spalding, the visiting soloist with the New York Symphony Orchestra at Mecca Auditorium, March 7, was heard in the Mendelssohn concerto in E minor for violin and orchestra. It was a memorable reading. Mr. Spalding was in his best form; which is to say that bow and string apparently no longer offer any technical difficulties to this master violinist. With no superfluous stage manners, Mr. Spalding always applies himself to his task with a delightful ease and simplicity. One recognizes at once the skillful hand and intelligent conception of the performer. At the conclusion of his playing recall followed recall. Ten times according to this reviewer's arithmetic, this popular artist was forced to bow his acknowledgment of tumultuous applause. The audience was big and appreciative and it showed beyond a doubt its superlative delight in Mr. Spalding's superlatively beautiful playing.
98The novelty of the program—marked new: first time in America—was the overture, Belfagor. This is a lyric comedy
