vice versa but the success of Fred- erick jagel, the Metropolitan opera star, at the Ravinia Park opera in the summer of 1931 went a long way to disprove, that old wives'- tale.'

According toteNwYr Herald Tribpne: "Mr. Jagel improves in bis art wîtb eacb new part; lie bas grown greatly in the, seasoiis since bis debut and is now a most valuable member of'the company," The Even- ing Post says: "His voice is clear, sweet and true, and,,praise be, heis not a shbouter." In the words of the New York journal: 'lHe can bold, up bis -,bead-am-nd: bis voice-with the, best of the Italians. He bas a fine- grained but substantial tenor and be knows wbat to do with it, and. when." Speaking of his performance ini "Norma" last season opposite Rosa *Ponselle, Olin Downes stated: "The. role of, Poilione is not for babes and sucklings of. vocal art. It gave, evidence of Mr. Jagel's continuing. deveopment in opera, of inherent *qualities of bis voice, his intelligence,' -and aptitude for dramatic interpreta- tion."

The raga- is a scale With a definite melody, the notes of which are, lixed by long: as-' 1sociation and tradition., ,Originally there were six ragas, but in time eacb multiplied, acquiring a _wife, "ratgina,", and. sons "putra.' Each raga is definitely connected witb, a. time of tbe day,.or the time of the year, and wben Sban-Kar's musicians :play the program notes signify *hat time of day or year it is, and what the mood of the dance is.i tis said that- theý once. celebrated Tan Sen was ordered by the.Êinperor té sing a night raiga st noon, and as lie sang darkness came down where be stood and spread, as far as. the sound. of bhis voice, reached.ý Raga comes front the root "ranj," whicb means color, emotion, passion, and in addition to placing the time of day and the sa8on is cQnnected with a special niood; sriraga is to be sung in the dewy season and represents love; vasanta is the r4ga, of the spring, and represents joy;,, bbakta is full of prayeirs eand tears. in the presence of God. . The sàdd.er ragas have an average of,,th.ree flats: as against an average of two for those which picture a liappier mood. The musician submerges himself in the atmosphere of a certain raga, and may play as long as bis creative abïlity holcs out on that one raga, embroiderrng it and using it as a poet Another impressive elenient in Hin- du music is the repetition, which mnay seern monotonous to the hearer at flrst. Yet if he listens he notices that. the repetition. is iiever the sanie, that *omething in sopnd, in structure, or in. emotion. is added to it util, it reaches' a heigit.. Also, the Inidian musician develops time-measure. more than. the western musician, and lie uses a variety -and specîfic nature of' musical instruments. Harinony is the dominant factor i Our western music, but in Hindu music the dominant factor is melody. 111INugv .. ....... -. ....-- II..à.--,....---e - Strelo.......... .Pietro. Cimara SuPhi Catode.
