A new book b R. VAUGHAN WILLIAMS SOME THOUGHTS ON BEETHOVEN'S CHORAL SYMPHONY- WITH WRITINGS ON OTHER MUSICAL SUBJECTS

HE appearance of this book, containg virtually every- thing Dr. Vaughan Williams has written about music, is a considerable event. The topics range from Bach to Holst. All are illuminated by Dr. Vaughan Williams' direct and sometimes quite outspoken comments. The principal essay-on Beethoven's Ninth-has never been published before; in it, the English composer explains why he considers the Ninth Symphony (by a composer

with whose idiom Dr. Vaughan Williams says he is, in general, not in sympathy) one of the very greatest of all compositions. Just published: $2.50.

TH-E JUILLIARD REPORT ON TEACHING THE LITERATURE

AND MATERIALS OF MUSIC To answer the scores of quiestionis that have been asked about the

curriculum in the Literature and Materials of Music, inaugurated at the Juilliard School of Music in 1947, and to offer its own views of the way in which L & M works, the nembers of the L & M faculty of Juilliard collaborted on the present report.

The goal of the niew curriculum is to graduate mature perfiormers and respo.nsible members of the -musical community, by liberating both teacher and pupil from the outmoded concept of the arbitrary division of musical study into various aspects of music theory.

THE JUILLIARD REPORT is must reading for all musicianis-edu- cators, pupils and performers alike.

The Lives and Works of

EUROPEAN COMPOSERS

TODAY by David Ewen

200 pages $4.00 postpaid Pub. 1954 As a result of personal interviews with most of the 106 composers represented here, the author is able to offer much NEW material on their lives and works. "These direct and personal meetings," says the composer, "enabled me to include several significant European composers about whom little or no information is available in this country." The romance, the success, the tragedy in the lives of these composers are brilliantly summed up in each biographical sketch. For added interest, a photograph or portrait from life shows exactly what the composers look like. There are also lists of major works and of im- portant books and articles related to their careers. The careful selection of the composers was based on:

1) the importance of their work 2) the frequency with which it is heard 3) the interest shown in it by the American public

Ia * foE .U . From the people themselves comes folk music that is a part of our history as a

growing nation - music that has established itself in the essence of our culture. Here is a new series of Americana which we feel will be a valuable con- tribution to the world of music.

(VOLUME I)

by Elie Siegmeister (PIANO SOLOS)

$1.00

Believing that the piano student should be brought up on the music of our own culture as well as tradi- tional music, this noted authority has completed the first of five volumes of American songs, scenes and sketches for the piano. This first book, containing 40 selections, is designed for the beginning student. Sub- sequent volumes will be progressive in difficulty so that the series will eventually cover all phases of piano study.

Mr. Siegmeister has written simply yet musically, so that each piece will be a meaningful experience for the student. You will find that the series presents a significant new departure in the treatment of American folk music.

At your request, a copy of FOLK-WAYS J.S.A. w2il0 be sent to you on approval. Write for yours today.
