A semester series of talks on music by Dr. Hartshorn and Albert Coates will be introduced by the lecture this evening.
A concept of what the series will offer will be outlined this evening, said Mr. Hartshorn. The emphasis of the entire series will be the appreciation of music for the nontechnical music lover. Musical selections will illustrate all of the talks.
The Romantic Symphony of Howard Hanson, director of the . Eastman school of music, will illustrate the lecture tonight. "This symphony was intended to be a reaction against overly intellectual modernism,” said Mr. Hartshorn.
The rich romantic feeling of the symphony will be discussed by Mr. Hartshorn. Many modem composers have gone to the other extreme of the overly-romantic, 19th century composers, said this evening's speaker. A fear of emotional expression is noticeable in many modem musical works, stated Mr. Hartshorn.
American music will be played and interpreted at the first lectures of the series. The presentation of the opera Columbus’- on the SC campus October 12 will culminate the American music section of the course. Russian musie. early English music, works of Ralph Vaughan Williams. Handel, and Edgar are to come later in the series.
Three choral presentations and two performances of the Los Angeles Philharmonic are included in the program of the course. The choral performances are Handel’s “Messiah,” Elgar’s oratorio "The Dream of Ceronitus,” and Haydn s “The Creation."
