Oregon's Man of Music
World Known Composer Lives Quietly
In Coastal Community; Here Tuesday
Br VlniU Howard
(Miss Howard was assigned an Interview with the compew. 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

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.
