Plainfield Symphony to Play Mezart "Magic Flute" Overture ONE of the numbers on the next concert of the Plainfield Symphony Society, to be given at the High School on Feb. 26, will be the famous Mozart Overture, "Magic Flute." To Henry R. Hubbard, commentator for the Symphony concerts, we are indebted for the following notes: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, 1756- 1791 Overture, "Magic Flute" Mozart's friend, Shikander, au thor, dramatist, promoter, proposed to Mozart that he write music for Shikander's new comedy based upon an Egyptian subject involving ma gic and Masonic mysteries. Mozart, who was interested in Masonic lore, was attracted by the idea, began the music in the spring of 1791 and finished the opera only three months before his death. It was his last groat completed work.

Shikander proved a false friend, refusing to share the profits of the venture and allowing Mozart to die in misery while he himself was accumulating a fortune from the opera. Some commentators believe that the entire overture is an allegorical representation of the contrasting principles of Good and Evil -with which the opera is concerned, and that the three sharp chords with which the introduction begins have "hidden Masonic significance." Whether or not that' is true, the contrast between the stately har mony of the introduction and the merry counterpoint of the main body of the overture is musically a striking feature. Following the introduction comes a lively fugue, somewhat free in form. After the exposition and de recur, then tne nimble fugue sub ject undergoes a second develop ment with strettos and antiphona) passages for strings and woodwind. Finally there is a recapitulation and short sonorous code.

fur nished the musical program for the Union-Essex Chapter meeting of the National Association of Organ ists at Westfield last at the First Baptist Church. The Rev. Eugene Grafton Mintz, pastor of the church, spoke on "The Relationship Between Pastor and Organist," urging a closer co-operation, with conferences for the development of more unity in the service. An interesting discussion followed. It was suggested that the clergymen speak- to their congregations about a more devotional attitude during the musical parts of the service, and It was brought out that the ushers could, by their dignity and quietness, influence the congregation to enter the church without undue conversation and commotion.

The Rev. Mr. Mintz stressed the point that every portion of the service was important and should not be looked upon simply as preliminary to the sermon.
