...Bard, pre-Bach music is not to be forgotten. Drawing from the works of Shakespeare's contemporaries-Thomas Morley, William Byrd, Tobias Hume, John Wilbye, John Dowland-Pro Musica shook the dust off a score of Elizabethan madrigals and lute songs, embellishing the rarefied melodies with a rhythmic liveliness and delicate twining of voices and instruments to produce, in Shakespeare's words, "sounds and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not."-See Music, The Ancient's Mariner...

PIET MONDRIAN-Frumkin, 32 East 57th. Mondrian depicted nature-before he stripped it to its bare essentials-in scenes of Dutch windmills, rivers and forests. These drawings and oils, done between 1905 and 1908, show keen insights and rhythmic vitality in a self-assured style, but offer little indication of the plastic purist he was to become (through May 23).
