THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY : MORNING, JUNE 21, 1914. 5 By J. Ii. W. FRANCIS RICHTERS new iym phony, ,-From Darkness to Dawn," will hav lt premier In Chicago early next season. It will be played by the Chi cago Symphony orchestra tinder the direction ot Frederick Stock. Follow In that production it will be played by the St. Paul and Minneapolis sym phony orchestras and no doubt even tually here. ! Portland will watch with keenest Interest its impresiflon for Mr. Rlcb ter Is the blind Portland composer pianist, born and raised here, the son of Mr. and Mrs. T. MV. Rlchter, of 322 Falling street. Young; Rlchter has devoted much of his spare time during the past two years to- the composition and orches tration of the symphony. In addi tion he has concertlzed some and taught piano and coached. The strain taxed his endurance and a break down was feared some months ago, hut now that the work Is complete he is well and looking forward eager ly to the happy moment of the rendition of his work by the famous Chicago organization However, two years is not a long period of time for the composition of a symphony. Many of the stand ard works were In the making much longer. The orchestration was more tedious than may be imagined for he had to - dictate the score to his father, who took down the notes on a record ing machine for transcription. The orchestration was built from the pi ano score, worked out in every de tail. During the past year the com poser has kept himself practically In seclusion to finish his most ambi tious work, i "From Darkness to Dawn" depicts the life . and struggles and the joys and final- triumph of this marvel ously gifted young musician. The story the symphony tells is as fol lows: The "introduction" oescriDes the Kearch for knowledge. The first subject of the first movement proper, represents the mental struggles of a youth, desirous to strive for higher ideas, allegro ma non troppo. After a short development of the first theme, the music describes youth and poetry as Joyous as the former is serious. Then follow a series of mentnl trannltlons. Obstacles, grow ing In proportion, are battled with end are gradually overcome. Next Is a romanre. Andante Cantabile, to 11 liiBtratn a romantic mood, acting as a dlverwlon from the more serious. After this mood, with Its dramatic and Joyful 'jualitles, has "been de fined, he returns to the development of the two matn subjects previously referred to, depicting greater obsta cles, which are finally mastered. Ac cording to form, the second subject or - theme of youth, reoccurs preced ing a counter theme, defining more mental transitions, doubts, etc Fi nally the Introductory motive Is re peated, and the movement closes with three long sustained chords, making the definition of the repeated motive more clear; the whole seem ing to, say, "The goal for which I have been striving Is not yet reached." The second movement, Andante opens with an Introduction modulat ing from the key In which the first movement closed. Into the key In which the first 'subject 'proper Is written. The reason for this modu-' lation is not merely to please the lis tener. It represents a change from a very serious mood to an extremely Joyous one. Although the first sub ject proper in a ong-Uke melody played by the cellos, written in the tempo already given, it does not pos sess one tinge of sadness, but rath er represents youth, with all its courage to do and strive, as well as its romantlo fancies In a semi-lyrlo manner. After this subject is de veloped, making clear to the cultured muslo lover the variations and Im pulses of this Joyous mood, the au thor depict Mrs. Alma A. Rogers, to whom the symphony is dedicated, telling him a story of chivalry. This story is partly told in a melody writ ten as a violin solo, and if one traces the rythm of the first meas ure and a half carefully, the words, "In the Time of Chivalry," will be heard. First a noble klnght is re ferred to, in the brass poco plu mosso, followed tempo prlmo by his ladies' motive (as It la titled in the score). Then the knight Is depicted preparing for a tournament, the An dante, being led into "Tempo dl Marcia." Ills lightfooted charger is heard galloping to the place of battle. other' knights with steeds equally agile meet him, and all ride to tne field In & body. During the time the galloping Is heard in the cellos and basses, a "Merry Song is taken by two muted trumpets. Then the mur muring of spectators comes nearer and nearer, until the trumpet sounds. telling the anxious crowd that the knights to be seen in .the first com. bat have arrived. After a few sua talned chords played pianissimo, an other trumpet sounds and the com bat begin. Clashing of weapons - is heard, until a grand climax is reached, and during the knight's mo tive (thet first knight of the story having been victorious), the second subject proper of this movement is heard, representing Joy and self-con fldence. After this subject the first theme Is developed portraying more variations of Joy, and according to PIANIST DELIGHTS AT SOCIETY FUNCTION Mrs. Beatrice Dlerke. 11? rit- 1 - Ill Tkc J V;M I . 1 ' I : t 7r r-'--v.-v " ' 111-- fi &y-JH-i',s '&yi'''Hll - t-' y ' V " ' -v ;, rlyi 'ill i .

The third movement is a Scherzo, Its first half, reminiscent of some of the peculiar characters Mr. Rlch ter met In Vienna, and the second half representing a good time with his young friends, including orig inal tone pictures of native' dances and a "Merry Chorus" sung , by the boys. The last movement opens with an introductory Adagio, defining the composer's regret to leave Paris, whence he returned to Portland. The beginning of the movement proper. Allegro con spirlto, represents him approaching his home town, and his arrival, and his dearest friends and parents meeting him. Then the first subject much like a Grand March, is heard, and it will be clear to the lis tener that there is nothing but joy, an overwhelming happiness, at the thought of being home once more. Near the end there is what he calls Eine Jubel Fuge" then finally thei 'Hymn to Ambition" Is heard, and the work closes with a grand finale.
