"Somehow music is an art
that lives and breathes over
and over again as each recital
takes place,’’ Mr. Colvin said in
opening the program. "The earli-
est music was vocal, with re-
percussion instruments as the
only accompaniment. It was
sung in a straight - line sim-
ple melody with harmony.
"Later singers began to car-
ry the melody in different pitch-
es when they sang together, but
the pattern was still inflexible
and remained so during some

century, Colvin continued, Han
del and Bach were Iwrn, and
through them harmony reached
perfection. Colvin left the piano
to play the organ and render
Bach's "Come, Sweet Death
Oratorios
After this, Mrs. Colvin sang
"1 Know That My Redeemer
Liveih" from Handel's "The
Messiah” to illustrate the ora-
torios that Handel and others
were writing in Bach’s tiine.
Colvin was at the piano.
Colvin then played '‘Tambour-
in” by Rameau - Godowsky,
comtemporary to Bach and
Handel. It was first written for
the harpsichord and later ar-
ranged for piano.
In the last half of the 19th
century, Colvin brought out,
Bach’s sons were writing im-
portant music, as were Mozart
and others. The "trills and fril-
ls” of the era are reflected, Col-
vin stated, in Mozart’s "Allelu-
ia,” which Mrs. Colvin sang.
Piano
The piano was invented to-
ward the end oi the 18th Cen-
tury and on it Beethoven and
others wrote music designed "to
depict what the singer is sing-
ing about.” With the piano and
the 19th century came "roman-
ticism.'’ To demonstrate this
development Colvin played the
first movement of Chopin’s
"Sonata in R-Minor."
Opera had also reached
heights in that century, Colvin
said. Woodwinds and \\ agnerian
1 operas went together well. For
