rwiabough. Choirmaatcr, W. Davidson Tbomaos, :i4.llv THE WINNIPEG EVENING TRIBUNE PAGE 19 MG OBSERVATIONS By MAJOR KEY Musical Incidents in the Career of the Late Dr. C. W.

Gordon Music Versus Speech Olin Downes Lecture In Winnipeg Death of Dr. Frank Damrosch. IN a career of such remarkable activity and accomplishment it is not hard to conceive of Dr. W. Gordon's participation in anything and everything making for the betterment of community and Canadian life.

A preacher, lecturer and writer of wide range and experience, long ago he knew the proper relation of values. Life was too busy for him to waste much time on the trivial or unimportant things. If he seemed almost too consistently serious, and had perhaps a somewhat uncommon way at times In meeting ordinary situations, upon reflection It would be found that he had reasons; usually real food for thought. Nearly twenty yean 1 ago Dr. Gordon was Invited to address a large choral society on the text of a musical work by a world famed composer.

The hour was 8.15 and the place was Holy Trinity, church hall. Promptly, to th minute, Dr. Gordon was there. He preferred, he said, to listen to the singing for a while before proceeding with his address; agreed. intermission period of 9 o'clock arrived.

Much to the conductor' surprise. Dr. Gordon suggested that the lecture feature of the evening be eliminated; he was much in earnest "What's the use?" Dr. Gordon asked. "What are the mere words and voice of an individual man contrasted with the magnitude, the beauty and the spirituality of the Biblical texts as they have com to us through the medium of a mind like Handel's, and the combined voices of nearly two hundred singers, mostly experienced, I know?" Here then wss a man out of th ordinary; on who understood value; a man who even confessed to seeing new light in a very important matter; yet not ashamed to confess the weakness of mere speech In the presence of a message through music froiji the immortals.

Dr. Gordon spoke; he spoke in spiringly; he emphasized the great privilege granted to those who sang th everlasting truths; he dwelt upon the even greater privilege of a community listening to inspired muisc, inspiringly sung. His address made only passing reference to the texts of the oratorio, but the singers felt the presence of a man of vision whose high thoughts impelled them to give, if fioaslble, even more sincere service great cause the cause of music. Many other addresses, or lectures, war heard by members of th singing body; none excelled, In genuine earnestness, the evangelistic spirit manifested by Dr. Gordon.

Needless to say he was present at the public performance of the oratorio. When Dr. Cordon Met Roland Hayet When Roland Hayes, the famous Negro tenor, made his first Winnipeg appearance in the Playhouse, it was Major Key's privilege to comply with a request of Mr. Foley, travelling manager with th singer, and go backstag to shake hands with tl.e great artist and his accompanist. I ws mlngly alone, and had a few unforgettable moments with the artists who had thrilled an audience to an indescribable degree.

Both Mr. Hayes and his assistant looked what they were, and are artists of the highest level. Making my exit from. the stage through a darkened passage, I met Dr. Gordon.

"Will you kindly introduce me to Mr. Hayes?" he asked, adding: "I feel as though I couldn't leave the theatre without telling him that the evening was truly wonderful." I introduced "Dr. Gordon," and immediately following, "Ralph Connor." Sensitive to the last degree, and therefore sensing quickly the varied degrees of appreciation, Mr. Hayes betrayed quickly how deeply he responded to the congratulations. Mr.

Hayes, hearing of Dr. Gordon's illness, mentioned this Incident the other evening, remarking that on that night In the Playhouse he felt he had made In Dr. Gordon, another friend for life. Arirval Of a Noted Organitt Dr. Gordon did a splendid service, musically, lor Winnipeg many years ago.

I am credibly Informed that he played large part In bringing to Winnipeg and St. Stephen's church, th famous Scottish organist, Mr. Murray. The latter possessed that Scottish exterior of reserve to a finished degree, as much as to say, "thus far, and no farther." It was Major Key Joy to find, upon getting closer to Mr. Murrav.

that he was one of the most genial and companionable of men; Indeed nis quiet, pawny humor was a constant reminder of another of Scotland's rarest sons, Robert L. Stevenson. A remarkable physical and facial resemblance seemed Intensified hy the fact that, In the prime of life, they were afflicted with the same disease, rarying them off at the very zenith of their usefulness. Murray' exceptional ability as an organist was perhaps surpassed by h's genius as a composer. Where are his writings? The same question might fittingly be asked regarding many of George Bowles' compositions.

Some day they will be taken out of the archives and printed. When Murray, the late Melsom Gee the late Rhys Thomas and the late George Bowles were wont to foregather, the British Empire was typically represented, In its Individual parts, as well as In a marked collective sense. As a frequent listener to the side play in their brilliant convemation. one wondered whether Scotland or England were on top. Serious dissonance, if any existed, was soon resolved into harmony altogether delightful.

It was an asset in life to have known Murray and his genial friends. Talented Downe Coming to Winnipeg Olin Downes Is coming to Win nipeg. This announces one of the leading musical events of the sea son. He will address Manitoba University authorities, the students, their friends and the public generally in the Auditorium. The plac should be packed.

My pre diction la thai his address will touch the high water mark in public addresses for the season of 1937 38. He is not a "high brow," he is not a professor; he is merely music editor of the New York Time, and ia accepted as an authority on music and other subject th continent over. Major Key hesitate to quote much from Mr. Downes' writings in this column. The reason is, that once started It is difficult to stop.

And there are subjects of local import frequently deserving of mention. However, Writing of Sibelius a few days ago, Mr. Downes had this to say: "Every thoughtful and educated person knows that great art is international, and great music just music. Sibelius has no more to do with Finland and th North than Tchaikovsky's 'Pathetic' symphony, with its alleged Slavisms and walls of despair, has to do with th nation that begot Dos toievsky, or Beehoven's Fifth with that composers ethical or temperamental reactiona to his epoch. Th Fifth symphony is simply mu sic, and it is a pity that Schlndler'a legend of fat knocking at the door was ever promulgated.

These peo ple who find scenes, dramas In music! "What is music, then? Music is a wonderful arrangement of tones in certain positions and patterns which for reasons we have not successfully analyzed gives us a certain esthetic pleasure that Is, If we are really cultivated people. We then derive from it, as the Greek philosopher said, a gentlemanlike Joy. This orderly and symmetrical arrangement of the tones takes our minds oft the real and urgent problems of existence and lifts us above them. Listening, we may soar off and take our Olympian "ease in a non existent land of abstractions, and pity those ignorant, sentimental fellows who ar neither culturally nor tem peramentally' capable of rising above the human equation and the fairy story in art. But Beethoven knew better, and this knowledge Is what, gives his music universality.

Wagner knew it. too, and likewise the youthful Sibelius." And then Mr. Downes proceeds to further reveal himself in these finely chosen words: "We the editorial we that 1 to say, In this case, good old Downes should be glad to know these things and to stand corrected, for 'we' were among the erroneous 'early What is worse, we are unregen erate. Wbll are not yet limping, purblind, or of a hoary gray hue, we persist in uiscoverlng the elemental Northern and magnificently ancestral thing in Sibelius' compositions, at least of the early symphonies end symphonic poems. These appear to us Inalienable and unmistakable characteristics of th music.

Nor can we easily believe that persons normally responsive to music, with any degree of imagination a faculty still applicable to that art and with even a little blood In their veins, can fail to find something of that spirit In the scores." Downes is really a very exceptional speaker. He Is worth seeing as well as hearing, so don't fail to attend the University meeting. It Is free. Frank Damrotch Diet in New York Frank Damrosch, noted educator and choral conductor and elder brother of Walter Damrosch, died at. his home in New York on Oct.

22, after a heart attack. He had been In poor health since 1933, when he retired from the directorship of the Institute of Musical Art, which he had founded In 1905. His wife, the former Hetty Mosen thai, and his daughter Helen Tee Heads Choir GEORGE TIMBERS At the annual meeting of St. Stephen's Broadway United church choir, George Timber was elected president. J.

Roberto Wood is choir director. Van were with him at his 'death. He was In his 79th year. Dr. Damrosch was born in Bres lau on June 22, 1859, the son of Leopold Damrosch, an eminent and well loved conductor, and Helene von Helmburg, a singer.

He was named after Franz Liszt. An older child named Richard after Wagner who stood as his god father, died in infancy. Perhaps his most distinguished choral body was th Musical Art Society, a group of aixty trained voices, which he organized In 1893 for the purpose oi presenting a cappella music. He continued as its conductor until 1920, when th chorus was discontinued. A year after having received the honorary degree of Doctor of Music from Yale, he founded the Insti tute of Musical Art, the organiz ation with which he was most closely identified throughout his later years and whose head he remained until his retirement in 1(33.

The institute was made possible by a generous endowment from James Loeb. Dr. Damrosch's ideal wa to give American students the very best musical instruction possible and for this purpose he assembled a faculty that included mang world famous musicians. Among the original faculty were Georg Henschel, Alfred Giraudet, Etelka Gerster, Sigismond Stojowskl and member of the Knelsel Quartet. The eminent Wagnerian soprano, Nilka Ternlna, later taught there.

The Institute opened in October, 1905, with an enrollment of more than 350. The school has had a career of unbroken success and at the close of its twenty first year, In 1928, it was merged with the Juilttard Foundation and became known as th Institute of Musical Art of th Juilllard Foundation. Dr. Damrosch remained the dean of the school until his retirement. Funeral services were conducted by Dr.

Damrosch's son in the auditorium of the Institute.

ROBERTO WOOD WINS HIGH PRAISE AT CALGARY CONCERT Appearing before the Calgary Women's Musical Club ss guest artists in recital, last week, J.

Roberto Wood. Winnipeg baritone, with Mrs. Wood as accompanist, won unusually fine critical comment from local reviewers. In a lengthy review in the Daily Herald, MX.S. said, in part: "It is difficult to estimate which kind of song Mr.

Wood sings beat, but the songs which come under the heading of strictly "artistic" have very definite appeal as sung by Mr. Wood. The climatic effects achieved, particularly in the first group of oratorio and Italian arias, and later, the charmingly sung Schubert songs, were a delight." Of Mrs. Wood's playing the same writer made comment: "Mary Wood, who accompanied skilfully throughout, deserves only slightly secondary recognition. It was a disappointment that she was not on the program for a group of piano solos also, for it was evident from her accompaniments that she is a musician of distinction." Reporting In the Calgary Alber tan, the reviewer said fine songs of Schubert showed the great dramatic achievements of the singer.

In the Handel arioso, "the singer showed that his voice was warm and full of feeling." Further comment stated that "the grace and charm with which Mr. Wood sang bright melodies of English folksong, was enchanting. Here the accompanist again excelled In bringing forth from the piano sounds as from a harp." Remembrance Day To Be Obterved at Young Remembrance day will be. observed at the Sunday service's at Young church, with Rev. Walter E.

The matinee program, which will be full of Interest for adulta as well ss young people, includes three movements from Beethoven Pas toral Symphony, as follows 1. Village Festival.

2. Th Storm. S. Shepherd's Song. Thanksgiving after th storm.

Beethoven wrote nine symphonies, each a masterwork, and of these the "Pastoral" was the sixth, its first performance taking plac In Vienna, Austria, In 1808. Beethoven was a great lover of nature, many of his Inspired melo dies coming to him during his walks through the beautiful wooded country surrounding Vienna. Ther I evidence that at one time Beethoven had considered using th title "Recollection of Country Life," but this smacked too much of program music to suit the master and so, when th completed work was published, it simply bore the title "Symphony No. 6, In major (Pastoral), Opus 68." There ar in all five movements, as follows: 1, Awakening of Joyful Feelings on Arrival In the Country; 2, By the Brook; 3, Village Festival; 4, The Storm; 5, The Shepherd's Song, Thanksgiving after the Storm. The three movements heard on this occasion ar played without pause.

First, there is the music depicting a jolly dance In the village, its progress interrupted by a storm preceded by a few gentle raindrops snd ominous sounds of thunder and wind. And then, after the elements have spent their fury the clouds disperse, the sky becomes clear, "and Nature raises Its joyful voice to Heaven in Song of gratitude to the Creator."
