SYMPHONY BY DR. CLAPP

Honor has come to Dartmouth, and to Dr. P. G. Clapp, Director of Music, in that Dr. Clapp's new symphony in E-flat major was first performed by the Boston Symphony Orchestra at its twentieth concerts, April 6 and 7. To Dr. Clapp was given the distinction of conducting his own symphony. The first two movements of the Symphony wfere written in Hanover during the summer of 1916, and the finale in Boston during December, 1916, and January, 1917. Mr. Philip Hale, in a review of the concert in the Boston Herald says that "there are some fine moments in the first movement; the concluding section of the second movement, the music that suggests a dirge, is impressive. The finale is the least important, the least interesting, of the three movements. . . . Mr. Clapp is a serious musician, a man of acknowledged talent, and he is to be taken seriously."
