Stravinsky in Relation to Thibetan Devil Dances.
London, January 19.—The music for the Devil Dances as danced by the Thibetan Lamas, 16,000 feet above sea-level, was recorded by one of the recent party of explorers, up Mount Everest, T. Howard Somervell, F. R. C. S., and has been performed in London as an accompaniment to the party’s kinematograph film.
The music is strongly rhythmic and reiterative, melodic fragments being used over a hard basis largely composed of minor sevenths. In substance and conception it appears to contain the germ of Stravinsky, whose Rite of Spring contains much of the same forceful insistence and powerful rhythm. Although Tibetan melody is largely founded on the five note scale, Mr. Somerville reports the finding in Thibet of a species of clarionet which has the whole tone (six note) scale.	G. C.
