WEDNESDAY 22nd NOV. 1922 ROLAND HAYES (THE AFRICAN TENOR) SONG RECITAL OF EARLY AND MODERN CLASSICS AND NEGRO SPIRITUALS "The only really good new tenor who has come along lately is the Negro Mr. Roland Hayes. His voice is a genuine tenor (not a forced-up baritone) pure and warm and rich, and his artistic instincts are of the finest. He is one of the three or four singers we have in England to-day whom I would go to hear from choice, as distinct from professional necessity." (Ernest Newman, Sunday Times.)

PROGRAMME (Copyright Annotations by A. Eaglefield Hull). 1. QUARTET in D Flat. Op. 15. 1. Andante-Allegro 2. Presto accaciacato 3. Molto Adagio-Animato Dohnanyi (b. 1877) Besides being a famous and brilliant pianist, Dohnanyi makes substantial claims to consideration as a composer, especially of Chamber Music. His appointment in 1919 as President and Conductor of the famous Philharmonic Society at Budapest has stemmed for a time his flow of compositions which already amount to a considerable number, including piano pieces, operas, chamber-music and symphonies. This Quartet has only three movements, but the first is a composite one in which slow and quick movements are alternated. It is not free altogether from a suggestion of Tschaikowsky, especially in the flowing second subject with a moving pizzicato bass. The second movement is more individual and characteristic, apart from a rather unfortunate suggestion at the opening of Wagner's "Valkyrie." The Finale opens with a sustained Adagio which is followed by a vigorous and spirited movement in which nearly all the previous subjects are marshalled with fine effect. 2. QUARTET in C. Op. 54, No. 2. Joseph Haydn, 1732-1809 1. Vivace 2. Adagio 3. Menuetto 4. Adagio and Presto Haydn was born in Rohrau, in Croatia, which is now part of Jugo-Slavia. His music is founded very largely on the wonderful wealth of Croatian folk songs, and although no distinct songs can be detected in this quartet, their influence is unmistakable. The texture of the harmony is simplicity itself. It might be called a 'first violin' quartet, as this instrument has all the tunes. INTERVAL S

3. TWO SKETCHES Eugene Goosens (b. London, 1893) (a) "By the Tarn" (b) "Jack O'Lantern" 4. QUARTET in A minor, Op. 29. 1. Allegro ma non troppo 2. Andante 3. Menuetto 4. Allegro Moderato Schubert (1797-1828) The feeling of country scenes, if not of actual folk-songs, pervades the first movement. The second, Andante, is well-known to juvenile pianists. The Minuet approaches the Scherzo type adopted by Beethoven. Village revels, lively little home parties, Christmas jollities, may all be imagined in the finale.

PROGRAMME (Copyright Annotations by A. Eaglefield Hull) QUARTET in E flat. Op. 74 QUARTET in D. Beethoven (b. Bonn, 1770, d. Vienna, 1827) Poco Adagio, leading to Allegro. Adagio. Scherzo-Presto. Allegretto, with variations. This composition has been nicknamed the "Harp Quartet" probably on account of the pizzicato work at the end of the first subject and especially in the coda of the allegro. The deep feeling of the adagio is expressed in variation form. There is a jolly trio to the Scherzo, where the composer seems to be laughing at the pundits of the fugue. The finale is a wonderful piece of writing for strings. César Franck (b. nr. Liége, 1822, d. Paris) Lento running into Allegro. Scherzo. Larghetto. Finale. ITALIAN SERENADE It was not until his fifty-sixth year that Franck thought of writing a quartet and even then, as with Beethoven, many sketches appear before he finally settled on the form of his first theme. He strove to find a new form, a mixture of the song and the sonata. The Scherzo written for muted strings, has been described as "une ronde de sylphes dans un passage sans lune." The Larghetto is a deeply spiritual prayer. The finale written in a more airy expanse of style, is preceded by an introduction which recapitulates many of the preceding themes. The quartet is one of the most serious works ever written. As Franck was born on 10th December, 1822, we are still in the year of the centenary. Hugo Wolf (b. Styria, 1860, d. Vienna, 1903) Wolf wrote five hundred songs but only one string quartet. This piece is arranged from the orchestral serenade for small orchestra. It has all the delicate charm and wit of the Italian songs although lacking on a string quartet some of the colour which only the orchestra can give. DR.
