On Some New Music
Sanborn, Pitts | February 13, 1924 issue

The autumn was uncommonly rich in its harvest of new music. Or, to speak with a more meticulous approach to exactitude, it made known to New York audiences more than the usual amount of unfamiliar music. Composer Igor Stravinsky's "Chant du rossignol" dates in its original form as opera from 1914, in its revised form as symphonic poem from 1917. Stravinsky's "Renard," which the International Composers' Guild brought forward in December, was produced first in 1922. The newness of the rest of the new music ranged from the world premiere of Ernest Bloch's quarter-tone quintet for piano and strings to some anonymous English Christmas carols of the fifteenth century.
