Krcies Bloch while a reporter oa the Newport Oregon New. The Interview, arranged by the composer wile "at your convenience," proved a pleasant experience. The writer la now with the itate trams safety division). Ernest Bloch, one of Oregon's most famoui resident, internation ally, will appear in Salem Tuesday night aa guest conductor with the Portland Symphony orchestra. Although generally unknown, many persons, including Ernest Newman, dean of English music critics, consider Bloch, now that Sibelius has ceased composing, as the most remarkable of living composers. While in music circles and broad ha is considered as a top ranking world composer, his neigh bors in Agate Beach and Newport almost refer to him simply as "the man who writes music out at Agate Beach." Actually, Bloch does not act as great musician in the traditional sense should act. He stops on the atreet to talk with everyone, and a conversation with Bloch could concern music but more than likely it will concern medicine, education or animals. Born in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1880, Bloch vowed to become a composer at the age; of 10. His first work, "Oriental"" symphony, was written when he was 14 and that same year he deserted formal education to study in Munich, Brussels and finally Frankfurt, Germany. The striking similarity between his native Switzerland and Oregon decided Bloch and his wife to make their home here in 1941. Before moving into the former Asahel Bush beach home, he had roamed the country since 1917 conducting concerts, composing and teaching. He founded and or- fanized the Cleveland Institute of lusic in 1920 and later. 1925, be came director of the San Fran cisco Conservatory. Since moving to Oregon he has "settled down" and leaves the coast only to con duct concerts or to lectdre. Bloch is an amazing man, not only for his musicial abilities but for his remarkable mind. He is fascinated by medicine a frust rated doctor, he says and he reads everything from weighty science and mathematics texts to the great literary works. Bloch's acquaintances include not only musicians but university professors, artists, writers and sculptors such as the famed Jacob Epstein. Telling of his first meeting with "Epstein during a recent European concert tour, Bloch says he had been persuaded to pose for a bust In the hope of meeting Winston Churchill, who had Just finished sitting for the sculptor. When Bloch arrived at the studio Ep stein immediately grabbed some day and, moving around Bloch, exclaimed, "Oh boy, what a head." This coming from the great Ep stein was too hard to believe, Bloch says. He later discovered that the sculptor was born in Brooklyn. "I never did get to meat Churchill," he adds. His London concert tour of 1948 also gave Bloch his first opportun ity to conduct his own works for recording something which he had wanted to do for many years. When at home, Bloch spends a great deal of his ffee time hunting for mushrooms or searching the beach for agates. He attends some of the winter concerts held in Newport's auditorium and his chief complaint on coast Irving is that weather conditions are some times prohibitive to listening to aymphony orchestras on the radio. Bloch's fame in music circles has been constantly spreading for many years.-Though few Oregon tana have more than a passing acquaintance with his works, music critics say he is one of the ' few living composers whose music has daim to greatness. Sibelius, himself, once remarked that be is a greatly gifted man whose music Is both modern in the best sens and within the grasp of the con temporary musical mind." Ia recent years Bloch's music has been receiving more and more recognition In the United States. In 1147 the Julliard school of in New York honored him Wedding pictures must be In the hands of the society editor two weeks from date of the ceremony. We do not publish both engagement picture and wedding picture of any girl within six months. with a festival and this winter Chicago held a Bloch festival. But. while Bloch will be ac claimed one of the greatest living musicians and his music compared with that of Beethoven, chances are that to most Oregonians he will still remain "the man who writes music at Agata Beach.
