March promises to hold mii'-b of musical interest, a foremost event to be the symphony concert given by the Salem Symphony or chestra, in the armory, Sunday. Marrh R, at 8:15 o'clock in the evening. A feature of this con cert will be the playing of the First Indian Suit?. Op. ZZ. com posed by Ruthyn Turney, a mem ber of the orchestra. Regarding thy suite by Mr. Turnev which wa given In Port land on two occasions a few year? ago. The Oregon Journal (Port land. Oreeon) of July 4. 1915. contained the following splendid interpretative write-up: "In the "First Indian sutie , which was played with f'.ne effect, he has ziven a beautiful expres sion of therspirit of the early In dian people in their joys, sorrows and ceremonies. The first move ment, 'Dawn", opens with the first sonearance of light in the east Earth and nature throb as they struggle to awaken from sleep and meet the new dav. Tnen we near the call of the bird to Its mate, and the mate's response. As thi sun rises above the horizon and tints the mountain peaks with gold the earth throbs cease, and awakened nature responds with life everywhere. "The second movement, 'The Dance, a Tribal Ceremonial.' re veals the spirit of the men around the camp fire as they unite In the simplest rites that express their joy and hope and gratitude. " 'Lamentation, or Death of a Warrior. Is wierdly solemn and pathetic. Some years ago Mr. Turney was crossing" the Cascade mountains and near the summit he met a funeral procession. The body of the dead was strapped to a pony, and the men who rode be fore and behind were chanting a death song, while the rocks and hills gave back the sad and sol emn echo. The music mad3 an Impression which he has never forgotten. He gives it in this movement. "The last movement Is 'Tie Hunt, or Braves on the CUasev" After the excitement of prepara tion and departure you hear 4h galloping tread of the horses and the rnsh and movement of the braves pursuing the buffalo flee Ing orer the plains; then the feeling- of Tictory as they care for their prizes and return to camp. Miss Winifred Byrd. has just been paid $1000 for claying one piano number. Liszt's "La Cam panelia." so the story oes. When Miss Byrd recently ap peared in concert at Winthrop College, Rock Hill. S. C. the larfc- . . AMnn'a . . J I n n.i !' t It a. unlit H I there was a large audience pres ent. Enthusiasm was manifest ed throughout the brilliant pro gram rendered,' but the climax of applause was reached after the playing or Liszt's "1-a Campauel-: la." Having become accustomed to ovations. Miss Hyrd credited successes everywhere and thought no more about it as she hastened away to fill her next engagement. Several months later there came to her as a surprise a tele gram from the director of music of Winthrop college, advising her that she was re-engaged to open the collese musical course the next season and asking if she could arrange to appear within two weeks' time at the home of a wealthy cotton plantation owner in Roci Hill to play Liszt's La Campanella" for the sum of fl.OuO? Miss Ryrd thought this tele gram a joke and that the musical d rector had been talking to the plantation owner, known as a great music lover, relative to the artists who were being engaged for the following season. As she subsequently learned, when the cotton magnate found out that she was to come to Rock Hill in October, he said: "Just discussing h-r w-ork. I can't wait to hear her this fall. If I thought she would come here to play 'La Campanel la' for me next week, I would give her ? 1.000." When the musical director was convinced that the man was in ' earnest, he wired Miss Byrd, who made her second trip to Rock Hill, played "La Campanella" for the plantation owner and his guests and thus received her first $1,000 fee for one selection.
