IMPRESSIONS OF THE BACH FESTIVALA deeper significance could be

read into the Bach Festival of lastweek if one stops to consider thatthe. "B Minor Mass" was the ex-pression of a religious faith thatruled Germany when it was com-posed,—a faith that looked up toGod for guidance, and then con-ceived a divine love and spiritualregeneration for all men. Suchconceptions produced the sublimehomage of the "Sanctus" and thepenitential consciousness of the"Agnus Dei". What could Bachhave written if he had lived in theworld the Nazis have set up,—aworld in which the Christian faithis denied and man himself hasbeen set up as the ultimate sourceof all spiritual guidance?

The value of the Bach Festivalis indeed, not alone in its per-formance of good music. Thereare many concerts in Winter Parkwhich answer this purpose. Bachstands for a higher conception ofmusic than its mere singing andplaying. It stands for the revela-tion through music of the Chris-tian faith. Bach wrote "for theglory of God", and when his workis also sung "for the glory of God"it becomes a devotion, a consecra-tion to the highest ideals. The per-formance may not be impeccable,although conscientious effort hasstriven to make it so, but wherethose who take part are so in-spired there will surely come thereward of a great rehabilitationand freshening of faith.

It is not the purpose of this ar-ticle to make a critical review ofthe Festival, number b'v number.Suffice it to say that the Fridayevening performance, Part II, ofthe B Minor Mass was the best ofthe three programs. Of the groupof three Cantatas given on Thurs-day afternoon "Sleepers Awake"provided many moving pages, espe-cially the majestic rhythym of theopening chorus with the .long sus-tained tones of the sopranos. Themen's chorus. "Zion hears herwatchmen's voices" was excellentlysung. The chorale concluding thisCantata is one of Bach's finest.Professor Honaas raised his chorus

to thrilling beauty of tone andglorious volume in this Chorale.. AH* the soloists made their en-trance in the Cantatas,—Eose Dir-man, soprano, Lydia. Summers,contralto, Harold Haugh, tenor,and David Blair McClosky, bari-

tone. Miss Dirman disclosed a-voice of typical soprano timbre,light in quality but ample in vol-ume, and she gave gratifying evi-dence of her sound musicianship.Lydia Summers in her first phrasesrecalled the charming singingwhich she gave us last year, andshe fully met and surpassed thehigh anticipations which awaitedher. Harold Haugh, a risingyoung tenor in the oratorio field,was at once recognized as a verydefinite acquisition for the Festi-val, The never-to-be-forgotten ex-cellences of Arthur Kraft, who forthree years was the Festival'stenor, were replaced by a youngsinger in the early years of hiscareer, and the virility of his toneas well as his sound artistry madehim- a quick favorite.

"H.M.S. PINAFORE"SOON COMING TO PORT

The forthcoming production ofGilbert and Sullivan's "Pinafore"has the whole town in a fever ofanticipation. Its cast, composed oftalented Winter Parkers, Rollinsprofessors and students, most ofwhom are veterans from last year'smost successful presentation of"Trial by Jury", is entering thefinal stretch of rehearsing, lookingforward to the thrill of the actualperformance, which will be onMonday and Tuesday, March 25thand 26th, in the High School Au-ditorium.

"Trial By Jury" set a new highfor good entertainment in WinterPark. The first Gilbert and Sulli-van in town since 1934, its onenight stand last spring was suchan instantaneous hit that it had tobe repeated, with many first night-ers at the second show also. TheGilbert and Sullivan society ofWinter Park was formed that even-ing, because everyone who had ex-perienced the fun of being in thecast wanted to do it over again.

PROGRESS REPORTED INSTUDENT AID FUND

Winter Park and Orlando work-ers in the campaign for the $200,-000 Orange County Student AidFund for Rollins College will holda joint dinner meeting at the GerryAdams restaurant in Orlando at6:30 P. M. Saturday, and presenttheir reports of subscriptions.

Workers were encouraged thisweek by news of a g-ift of $50,000to construct the main building ofthe proposed Student RecreationCenter at Rollins, contingent uponthe raising- of the remaining- $150,-000 of the Student Aid Fund.

E. T. Brown, treasurer of Rol-lins College, who made the an-nouncement, said that the donorwished to remain anonymous forthe present.

Contributions reported up toWednesday brought the total sub-scribed, including the $50,000 con-tingent gift, to about $68,300. Inaddition a contribution of $5,000toward endowment, not included inthe Student Aid Fund, was an-nounced.

BESEDICK WATERCOLORSAT RESEARCH STUDIO

A "one-man show" is about theonly way an artist can draw atten-tion to his work and to himself. Itis in fact the only way in whichhe can buy his share of publicity ina country where anything fromtoilet tissue to pearl-hung Leadersof Society is colorfully advertised.

And so the problem that con-fronts the artist is not in the mere

showing of a collection of assortedpictures, but one that has beencarefully selected or better yet, de-liberately designed for exhibitionas a group. An exhibition of thissort becomes a presentation, dra-matic or otherwise, but alwayscarefully considered, and intendedfor public entertainment which inturn may lead to sales. An artist,after all, cannot live on paintalone.

The exhibition of watercolors byFrank Besedick which will open onSunday afternoon at the ResearchStudio Gallery in Maitland is justsuch a presentation. Typical ofthe work that the Research Studiois doing this exhibition is an inno-vation, a try-out in which the oth-erwise disconnected pictures areheld together by a ribbon of text,and in this case one that leanstoward blood and thunder. Andalthough the pictures appear in se-quences they are nevertheless eachone a separate work of art. Andregardless of drama and presenta-tion, Frank Besedick has producedan admirable set of spirited water-colors.

The exhibition runs from March8th through the 29th. The Galleryis open daily from two to five.

BACH FESTIVAL,(Continued from page 1)

Closky, who has been the Festi-val's baritone for three years, wasas usual notable for his reventialstyle and the power and breadth ofquality in his voice. Mr. McCloskywas at his best in his numbers inthe Cantatas, as the two solos al-lotted to him in the Mass have somany passages that lie below hismost effective range.

Bach's greatest pages in the BMinor Mass were written for thechorus. The soloists have six ariasand three duets, and with the ex-ception of the two for contralto,"Qui sedes" and the "Agnus Dei",they are on a much lower planethan the rest of the work. Butthese two are exceptionally beau-tiful and Miss Summers gave thema performance that was deeplymoving. The rich, womanly qual-ity of her tone heightened by asensitive consciousness made hersinging of the "Agnus Dei" aprayer of deeply intimate beauty.

The function of the chorus inthe Festival is more importantthan any other element. As I saidbefore, it is not the same kind ofsinging that one gets at a choralconcert. Bach sets his mark onyou if you sing his chorus, and youare willing to go week after weekto rehearse and master music that

is just as difficult as the soloistshave,—all you ask is the opportun-ity to sing Father Bach as heshould be sung. Professor Honaas,Director of the Festival, hasstriven conscientiously with the co-operation of many talented andhighly qualified singers, and he has.succeed in producing a most re-sponsive chorus. The women's sec-tion is especially notable for itsbeautiful quality, its flexibility andartistic intelligence, When Prof.Honaas wants a pianissimo, thischorus can melt its tone down to awhisper. When he calls for a cli-max, they give him tremendouspower.

Special mention should be madeof the chorus singing of the "Quitollis peccata mundi", an impres-sive example of well-timed nuanc-ing in the many separate entrancesof the four parts, the whole clonein a reserved mezzo-forte thatbreathed solicitude and prayer; "EtIncarnatus est", — that mysticalpicture in tone of the divine con-ception, showed outstanding qual-ities of smooth independent en-trances and long phrases withgently rising crescendi. The "Cru-ciflxus" was again perhaps thevery finest thing of the wholeMass,—the chorus beautifully voic-ing its perfect adaptation of theexpression of grief with a tonalimagery of sombre and majesticresignation.

And of the greater choruses the"Sanctus" must be cited as show-ing in the highest degree whatwonderful singing this FestivalChorus can do. The rising anti-phonal responses in this marvelouscomposition give the effects ofseried ranks of worshippers voic-ing their homage to the supremedivinity. Our chorus fully realizedthe sublime possibilities of thischorus, their well modulated balTance of tone and precise entrances,

their responsive rise to the cli-maxes constituting the finest sortof tribute both to their directorand their own effort.

High praise is due especially toProfessor Herman F. Siewert, forhis admirable organ accompani-ments which furnished a reliableand colorful background for bothsoloists and chorus. Walter Tramp-lev's fine violin tone delineated withexquisite timbre the profile ofBach's musical portraiture. A. Kun-rad Kvam also contributed to theeffectiveness of the solo and duetaccompaniments. The small orches-tra played with spirit and addedsubstantially to the performance.

"CHRISTIANITY AND PACIFISM"Page Five

(Editor's Note: The effort tomake a condensation which woulddo justice to the remarkable lectureof Dr. Macfarland on "Christianityand Pacifism" has resulted in thedecision to carry it over into a sec-ond installment in next week's issueof "Winter Park Topics." It is withdeep regret that we cannot publish'the lecture verbatim.)

In his lecture "Christianity andPacifism" at the Annie RussellTheatre last Tuesday morning, Dr.Charles S. Macfarland, GeneralSecretary Emeritus of the FederalCouncil of Churches of Christ inAmerica, summarized the attitudeof the churches toward the war.Their slow change from neutralityand resolutions that force was nevernationally justified , to a gradualrealization of the character of theworld revolution that is in progresswas described with the long rangeVision of a man who hesitated notto align himself uncompromisinglyagainst-the Nazi menace.

That the democracies are in apartial state of abdication, thatHitler is victorious in the firstphase of world revolution and issowing the seed of discontent anddisorder in every nation of theworld, including our own, still ob-scures1 the basic issue of religionand theology on which, accordingto- Dr. Macfarland, the world revo-lution will be decided,—a strugglefor the very existence of the moralorder of mankind.

Dr. Macfarland described his con-versations with Adolf Hitler in1933 when much was said about theUnited States, about our economicand social weaknesses, our politicalrivalries which seemed to be in-capable of self-revision, the uncer-tainties of our parliamentary sys-tem, our race clashes, our allegedmaster and slave classes, our cast-ing of school text books out ofschools because they testify tosocial truths, and more especially,they seemed surprisingly well in-formed on the Negro problem andAmerican anti-Semitism. "I thinknow that Hitler was right," saidDr. Macfarland, "this world revo-lution will be with us, whateverform it may take."

"Now what I am trying to sayis this," proceeded the speaker,"that the issue is not to be met bya few gifts of ships and planes andcash and bundles for Britain. AdolfHitler has already liquidated theold order which we have known;that his 'new order' is only on the

way; that what we have to seek isanother 'new order' that cannot bereached by any longer pursuanceof the ways and tenets of the ex-travagant romantic, optimistic lib-eralistic humanism of the centurypast; and that in this new orderthere must be another union, in thedemocracies, of politics and re-ligion."

Dr. Macfarland defended thechurches as having foreseen thecoining struggle back in 1920 andinitiated the basic principles for thecontemporary revolution in our so-cial and international order. Heheld the political statesmanship ofthe world is tragically wanting.The democracies relied on economicforces alone and had no other withwhich in a sinful world to meethuman forces that had repudiatedevery moral principle and ideal in-herent in the human conscience.

Dr. Macfarland declared that thepacifist position in the Church pro-ceeded upon the basic suppositionthat to escape from conflict is thefirst duty and the highest form ofpersonal and national goodness1.The pacifists , hope that Britainmay win the war, thus confessingto a. judgment as to the relativeright and justice of the issue. But,they say, war is wrong and thatends it. They are willing to becheer leaders for the British butclaim that it would be iniquitousfor us- to join the struggle. "Suchethical distinction is too much formy feeble and evidently undiscrim-inating mind," said Dr. Macfarland.All aid short of war is merely fol-lowing conscience just so long asone can do it without agreeing toaccept the consequences. Ethicalconfusion results from the es-trangement of conscience and emoL

tion.

Dr. Macfarland declared that theChurch should not become identi-fied with any defined secular causebut should teach the people to dis-tinguish between peace which issimply condoning the power andprivilege of evil and its consequentinjustice and the peace of Jesuswhich may be at its highest in themidst of seeming disaster. * * * Weknow that conflict cannot be ex-cluded in a sinful world and thatmaking avoidance of force a virtue,must depend on what is at stakein the conflict. We know that torefrain from judgment is generallythe counsel of prudence rather thanthe ascent to moral and spiritualheights.

Mr. James Lee Wells in his forty-third year was a shock to thiscommunity which had grown tohold him in esteem and affectionsince he and his attractive familycame to Winter Park two and ahalf years ago.

from Nassau where she had re-ceived the news of her husband'sdeath.

The family were deeply touchedby the many acts of kindness andsympathy and Mrs. Wells hopesshe may be able to remain in Win-ter Park amongst the friends whohave been so wonderful at thistragic time.

Mr. Wells enjoyed Winter Parkpeople and entered into the manysocial and civic activities of thecommunity with hearty interest.His quick wit and genial personal-ity made him very popular and es-tablished a high regard for himamong' his many friends.

SOO YONG WINS HEARTS OF WINTER PARKIANSWITH UNIQUE PORTRAYAL OF CHINESE LIFE

Winter Park's "Bowl of Eice"party was a most artistic triumph,and Miss Soo Yong, talented Chi-nese actress who was the stellarattraction on the program, gave arare and moving performance ofimpersonations, and monologues.It was a gala affair, many of theaudience wearing Chinese emhrojd-ered evening coats, and attractiveusherettes in Mandarin robes withflowers in their hair adding atmos-phere and color to the occasion.

Miss Yong is a great stage per-sonage, and her characterizationsin the first part of the programwere cleverly written to give achronological picture of the eman-cipation of the women of Chinaalong with the history of the Chi-nese Republic. Her superb voiceand her perfect English were a de-light to the audience, and not aword of her dramatic stories waslost. As "Great GrandmotherTang," she portrayed the humorand pathos of this ancient lady,with her tremulous voice, drycough, and the mannerisms of agein her facial expression and ges-tures. The last scene in this groupshowed the lovely, courageous mo-ther of today, whose husband iskilled at the front, who goes totake his place in the war.

"The Rainbow Pass" was a playbased on a Chinese drama of the8th century, done in a gorgeouscostume in the exaggerated styleof acting characteristic of the Chi-nese stage. Miss Yong's exquisitegrace was shown to best advantagein this, every movement having thepoise of beauty of a dancer.

The four "Living Pictures" oflife and customs in China werebreathtakingly beautiful, set likeshadow-boxes, with a rich darkbackground, the brilliant costumesand decorations standing out inbold relief. The tableau frame andpictures were designed and ar-ranged by Newton Merrill, and theChinese furniture was loaned by
