BEETHOVEN'S SIXTH
AT CONVOCATION
PASTORAL SYMPHONY PLAYED
ON STRINGS AND ORGAN
Beethoven's sixth (pastoral) sym
phony, played on strings and organ.
was given at Convocation yesterday
morning at 11 o'clock in Memorial
hall before about 250 faculty mem
bers, students and townspeople. Mrs.
Carrie B. Raymond played the organ,
Edward J. Walt first violin; Ernest
Harrison second violin; William
Quick viola; Lillian Eiche cello.
"The five distinctive movements of
this symphony were titled by Bee
thoven himself, and may be regarded
as authorative interpretations of the
music-. The remainder of the inter
pretation was written by Prof. W. F.
Dann of the department of history
and criticism of the fine arts.
Allegro ma non troppo. Awakening
of cheerful feelings on arriving in
the country.
Andante colto mosso. Scenes at
the brook.
Allegro. Merry gathering of peas
ants.
Allegretto. Glad and grateful feel
ings after the storm.
Professor Dann's Interpretation
"The strings in unison announce
the onening theme, which in its
bucolic simplicity seems to introduce
us at once to rural sights and sounds.
A four-voiced choir repeats and en
lames the strain. Then, by way of
interlude, a passage of five ascend
ing notes, oft repeated, and again the
theme, this time to a dronning pass.
Clarinets and the reedy-toned fagotti
pipe a rustic phase in ariph-ts, and
the violins glide easily into the sec
ond or counter theme. This second
theme illustrates what musicians call
double counterpoint; the highest and
lowest parts are both melodies, com
plimentary to each other, and they
exchange places as the music pro
ceeds without altering a note a dif
ficult feat, and done here with great
cleverness and charm.
"There is later on much reiteration
of simple phases, as the bird-like
calls are sung back and forth in fear
less freedom, while the rhythm in
double time conflicts with another in
triplets, recalling the gentle confu
sion of nature's unregulated sounds,
which nevertheless blend at a dis
tance Into a kind of rough rhythmic
whole. Fragments of the two origi
nal themes appear here and there,
serving to bind all the elements Into
urtistle unitv. and the climax
comes when the familiar strains of
the four-voiced choir rise strong In
full orchestra. Then follows, as
usual, the rehearsal of the first and
second themes !n due order and the
movement ends with a simple and
playful close.
The "Scene am Bach"
"In the Scene am Bach we have to
;, with dreamy reverie, the soft
purlh.g of the brook, the low hum
of quiet woodland, the sweetly dis
cordant trill of birds amid the sway
ing branches. The melody, at first
intermittent, as one Idly humming,
gradually grows more clear, while
throughout all i modulations and
variations one can fancy the babbling
stream and the gentle clash of nature
sounds. Near the close, the music

Continues to

There will be no baseball game to
day nor tomorrow, and there will be
no track meet tomorrow afternoon
if the sun does not do its duty be
tween now and that time. This la
the last verdict of the Coaches. Ames
was wired yesterday not to come,
as the condition of the field would
prohibit a game regardless of the
weather for the rest of the week.
If conditions will in any way per
mit, the meet will be held Satur
day as scheduled, with Doane, Wes
leyan, Cotner, the alumni and tha
freshmen furnishing teams to com
pete with the varsity.
Would Be Competition
The meet should be of high caliber
as far as close competition Is con
cerned. The cold weather has left
most of the men with sore muscles
and they will not be able 'to make
any phenomenal time, but all will
be in the same fix and the races will
necessarily be closely fought.
The field, at present is covered with
a soft mush and the track has col
lected several small ponds. A rain
today and cold weather tomorrow will
mean no meet. Coach Stewart is
optomistic, however, and fully expects
to carry out the arrangements that
have been made.
