Mr. McClellan Paul Armstrong, the playwright, and Holbrook Blinn, the star, iii "A Romance of the Underworld." has planned his music' along the lines of a conventional cantata and has for the most part written pleasing choruses chor-uses and solos. The text by Mrs. G. McClurg of Colorado is weak in many places and bears the ear-marks of the amateur. Despite this disadvantage disadvant-age the composer has coped successfully success-fully with his subject. "The opening prelude in P Minor, common time, Molot Moderato, is in-terestlng; in-terestlng; then comes a reoitative for the soprano soloist, interrupted by comments in the accompaniment, much in the old Italian operatic style. The chorus entering here is effectively written and dramatic in content. "The "March of the Races" opens with a tenor solo, followed by a chorus, chor-us, "The Waste Reclaims the Ribbon Drills." A good piece of part-writing is the unaccompanied "Fair Canaan Smiles in Desert," which should be well liked. "The Irrigated Region" contains much that Is well managed, while the "Glorious Land" section, which comes directly after it is likewise like-wise nicely planned. The work closes with a thrilling setting of "My Country Coun-try TIs of Thee," to whioh Is added a coda of twelve measures, approximately approxi-mately climaxing the work." |
