GLUCK EXCELS IN QUIETER MOODS tter Artlessness and Winsome Grace Charm Vast Audience That Hears Her (By John XV. Phillips) There is no law or set of laws that will change human nature Law win control or subdue, through fear, but it will not touch the mainspring that produces a new being, with a better and nobler view of life. This re quires a different process. The way to fight evil is with good. one ef the great forces for good. All so-called secular music should be judged, broadly speaking, by its ca pacity to stimulate moral growth, an<l all sacred music should havo in it the element of spiritual health. Good music then, has in it the sus taining qualities for which mankind is constantly seeking and craving. Our own Rocky Mountains or the Swiss Alps by their grandeur and immensity thrill and overpower both eye and mind. A sloping pasture, a few sheep, a quiet stream, with the attendant house and trees, charm and rest the senses, and bring an atmosphere ot quietude and peace, that we are loath to leave. . These contrasts are found in music. Music that is bold, rugged, broad and deep, quickens the heartbeats, and almost overwhelms; while music of the quieter, more plaintive type charms with a balm that healS and soothes. In other words the bigger music suggests action or restlessness, while the quieter moods suggest rest and peace. In this latter type Madam Alma Gluck excels, of all the sopranos heard In this city, none can approach her in the exquisite tone, quality and artißtic finish displayed last night at the Chestnut Street Auditorium to a capacity audience. Her artlessness and winsome grace, together with a voice of pristine sweetness, even in quality and handled with authority and style will never be forgotten by the vast audience that heard her. Her voice is not big, but always charm ing and interesting. She likes to sing, and makes her audience like it too. Her delivery of melody is always firm and true, and polished with subtle nuances and velvety tone. The program was of much inter est for it contained some old and rare treasures not exhibited heretofore in this city. The opening air "O Serpina Penserete, by Pergolesi, is worthy of any singer's study. This number was capitally dome, and it was very hard to believe the music is nearly 200 years old. How good it was to hear again a Mozart creation, even if one of the smaller and less familiar ones; and— wonder of wonders a Beethoven song—a humorous one at that —but it right good song, very cleverly pre sented. "Amarilli, My Fair One," by Oaccini, was a gem, noteworthy for pure sustained singing and subdued effects. When one considers that Oaccini lived in the sixteenth century, it brings to mind again the question— are we pursuing true paths in the creation of present-day music? The • 'accini music is free of dissonance, of course; but it was pure, sweet, pleading and satisfying Dissonance analyzed means restlessness, and the Lord knows the earth is full of rest less people. In the last few years, dissonance has been looked upon as strength in music this writer does not agree with that view—dissonance suggests physical strength rather than •mental strength. There is a place for dissonance in music but the writers have not yet discovered it. "The Lass "With the Delicate Air," requires good vocaiism although writ ten in the eighteenth century. This opening group of old numbers was nung with rare intelligence, and with the distinctive atmosphere and style belonging to each. The area from Louise, "Ever Since the Day," is a difficult number, with big intervals in pitch and demanding sustained tones of many degrees of power— Mme Gluck gave it a very fine and finished redding. The Schubert song, "The Post," was very delightful, and the Schumann number, as interpreted by Madam Gluck was a model of poetic, legato singing—a high water mark, vocally—Debussey's songs are never easy or clearly understood. He seems to bo a musical hermit, living apart from the rest of us mortals. However, the two songs presented were more sane and coherent than others we have heard. "Fantoches" will find favor with any audience. The Song of India," by that great Russian, Rimsky-Korsakoff suggests that Russians do not talk—they are not allowed to—but how they do feel, ind how they do express their feel ings. The song suggests that India j 1 a land of riches, of freedom and happiness—a land of promise to which the author is gazing with secret long ing. And that "Spring Song" of Ruben- ■ •teins—why don't we hear it oftener? it is a fine song and surely breathes !nnf Splri i ° f Sp ?ne- The last group contained five favorites in English all handled with exquisite tone and artistry. The singer was recalled time and time again and added several encores, and did a program number ! or two over. The secret of Mme Gluck s success is that she is a warm i hearted human being. She radiates good cheer and friendship, and sin ■ erely enjoys giving happiness to others. , Anton Hoflf. at the piano, won very warm approval for exceedingly well-played, sympathetic accompani ments. He has a fine sense of pro portion and phrasing and caught the moods of the songs in a way that blended perfectly with the singer's art. The concert was a musical tri umph for Mr. Hand, who is making every effort to kindle real musical enthusiasm in Harrisburg.
