Guy Marriner Traces
English Music History



Continued “fiom Page live

the development of Englis'i music to-
wards its “R-naissance” in the mod-
ern period. .

Edward W/lliam Elgar was one of
the first modern composers. Born in
1857, he had achieved a reputation as
a violinist and composer at the age
of*twenty. His music, which is digni-
serene and
free, represents a transition from the
old order to the new. The Bavarian
Dance, which Mr. Marriner played, had
a definite English quality in spite of
its name. Sir Walford Davies, the
next composer under consideration,
has not broken away from the diatonic
scale. His work is important for its
extreme purity of style, which Mr.
Marriner illustrated-by playing his
own arrangement of the Solemn Mel-
ody, a simple but very ,impressive
piece.

Gustav Holst was a man of more
revolutionary tendencies. In,his early
days he was attracted to Indian phil-
osophy and composed. Indian. works |
with asymetrical measures, alternat-
ing five and seven beats to the bar.
After the war, he returned to Eng-
land, where he wrote a great deal of
music, including orchestral, choral,
operatic, fugal, and_a few piano-forte
pieces. He was an uncompromising
pioneer in English music and compos-

-ed work full of an unstudied and of-

ten polytonal originality and force. He
evolved a keyboard harmony which he
felt expressed the temper of England.

In-explaining Holst’s music Mr.. Mar-
riner discussed polytonality, which is
created by the playing of a chord of
the Thirteenth as if it were formed of
two separate triads and hence of two
distantly related keys.’ Mr. Marriner
played Christmas Day .to illustrate
interweaves his polytonal-

See a Rose and-Ihe Shoemaker, wére

Vaughan Williams, the most typical-
ly English composer, is chiefly import-
ant for his work in choral singing.
Besides forming choral societies in all
the villages, towns and. cities in Eng-
land, he is a great student and mas-
ter of harmony and counterpoint. He
is able to handle great masses of
tone; his music is noteworthy for its
melody, poetry and reliability. Often,
as in On Song 13 by Orlando Gib-
Marriner, Wil-
liams gains a polyphonic effect, echo-
ing Bach.

Frederick Delius, who ‘ wrote the
Dance for the Harpsichord, is one
of the most individual of all these com-
posers. During the forty years be-
fore his.death, in 1934, he lived im
solitude in Paris, indifferent to the re-
ception given his music, which is mod-
ern, personal, introspective, and

dreamy. Cyril Scott,» another strong-
ly individualistic composer, is a tiré-
less worker and experimenter, who no
sooner derives’ one formula than he
begins to search for something new.
His music, as illustrated .in his ar-
rangement of Cherry. Ripe, is particu-
larly important for melody in con-
trast to harmony and, in this particu-
lar instance, closely approaches
atonality.

’ John Ireland, also a great scholar,
bases his music, in contrast to the
method of Cyril Scott,-on the classic
and diatonic scale. By introdu¢ing a

major 6th into the minor scale and a}

sharped 4th into the major scale, ‘he
often produced the-effect of: the an-
cient Greek modes. Mr. Marriner play-

ed Ragamuffin, in which the ‘“rag-
ged” effect is given by disconnected

az)

“bunches of notes,”, played in succes-
sion.

- Arnold Bax is another extremely in-
dividualistic composer, who writes
complex, concise music, particularly
remarkable for its: poetic beauty of
line and for its strange harmonies.
His. Lullaby. is an example of pure
melody and contains delicate irrades-
cent harmonies.

In -addition to. the pieces already
mentioned, Mr. Marriner played: Her-
es’ Brian Boru’s March;

leading sports champions

say about Camels

With the preference of starathletes over-

rette has to be exceptionally mild! Its
name is well known to you—Camel, Here’s
what an Olympic champion diver, Harold
(“Dutch”) Smith, says about Camels:
“I’ve found a great deal of pleasure in

wind.” Rip Collins, of the St. Louis Car-
dinals, says’: “Here’s the best proof I know
that Camels are mild: I can smoke them
steadily, and they never get my wind.”
Rowland Dufton, of the New. York
“Squash is a game that re-
quires Al condition for tournament play.
I’ve found that Camels are so mild I can
smoke all I want, and they never upset my
nerves or get my wind. That’s what I call

Dick Shelton, world-champion steer
“I must be sure the ciga-
rettes I smoke are mild. Camels are very
mild—don’t get my wind.” And those two
brilliant golfers, Denny Shute and Helen
Hicks, have come to the same conclusion
—“Camels do not get my wind.”

How this mildness is important
