TURNER JEWELER 1103 Caldwell St. Mo$t Reliable Since 1920' Beethoven music club subject Mr. and Mrs. Dudley French were the program leaders for the November meeting of the New berry Music Club which was held at the home of Miss Juanita Hitt. Their subject was Ludwig Von Beethoven. The associate hosts and hostess were Mr. and Mrs. Keitt Purcell and Mr. George Ol sen. Mrs. Hart Jordan presided in the absence of Mrs. H. B. Wil son, the president. After the collect the club mem bers joined in singing the hymn of the month, “Come, Ye Thank ful People." Miss Julia Kibler, hymn chairman, gave sjme inter esting information on the com poser. Prof. Darr Wise accomp anied. Miss Julie Hamiter, program chairman, introduced Mr. and Mrs. French. She indicated that they would continue the theme for the year, Music of the Mtujters, by presenting the second in the ser ies, the works of Beethoven. Since the program last month was on Haydn and Mozart, Mrs. French first gave some biograph ical facts which related the life of Beethoven to his predecessors. She called Beethoven “the Shakes peare of Music,” the greatest or chestral composer of all time. She showed how be imaged his life in his music. Beethoven wrote one opera and a number of sonatas, but his greatest works were symphonies. The sum of his message in the symphonies was, Mrs. French said, freedom. The well - known Eroica was inspired by Napoleon whom Beethoven considered a lib erator. When Napoleon made him self dictator, Beethoven changed his dedication. Beethoven was noted for the un expected in his music, the bigness, the many variations of a theme. His followers benefitted from his many innovations. “He took music out of its cloistered nook into the great out-of-doors," Mrs. French continued. To illustrate Beethoven’s sense of humor, Mr. French played a portion of a recording of the eighth symphony in which the sound suggests the rhythmic beat of the metronome. In the ninth symphony, which was inspired by Schiller’s poem, “Ode to Joy,” Beethoven first used a chorale at the end. Henry Van Dyke’s “Hymn to J^y" was written to fit the music of this chorale. The mem bers of the club joined in singing two stanzas of the hymn. To illustrate Beethoven’s piano sonatas, Miss Mary Elizabeth Fowler played two movements of the Opus 2, No. 3, which was ded icated to Haydn. Miss Fowler pre faced her performance with some interesting comments on Beetho ven’s artistic style. She mentioned the vigor and unity of this early work which foreshadowed the greatness of his later composi tions. She celled attention to the strong dramatic contrasts in dy namics and the use of the scherzo movement. Miss Fowler played the Adagio and the Scherzo move ments. Following the program, the members were invited into the dining room where delicious re freshments were served with hot spiced tea. A beautiful fall ar rangement of fruits and leaves centered the dining room table and attractive leaf favors were lying: on the individual plates.
