1BACH CHOIR.
3time in England of the trumpet and oboi d'amore parts as written by Bach. The whole forces were directed by Mr. Otto Goldschmidt, who shortly afterwards resigned the post of conductor, and, declining re-election, was succeeded by Dr. C. Villiers Stanford. In the same year Lord Coleridge retired from the office of president, and Lord Monteagle was elected to succeed him. At the end of this year Mr. Prendergast resigned the office of secretary and librarian, and the work was undertaken by Mr. Morton Latham as honorary secretary, Mr. Coleridge resigning the office which he had held since the commencement. Many members left the choir after the great performance in 1885, but new members were not long in filling the vacancies, and the numbers are now higher than at any previous time. (The only performance in England of the B minor Mass which has not been given by the Bach Choir was the fine production at the Leeds Festival of 1886 under the direction of Sir Arthur Sullivan.)
5Subjoined is a list of the principal works which have been introduced to London through the agency of the Bach Choir. Many of these have been specially published for the society in the Bach Choir Magazine.

114BACHE, WALTER, born at Birmingham June 19, 1842, a younger brother of Francis Edward BACHE. He studied the pianoforte and theory under James Stimpson, organist of the Birmingham Town Hall. In Aug. 1858 he went to Leipzig, where he studied under Plaidy, Moscheles, Hauptmann and Richter. After a short stay in Milan and Florence, he went in the summer of 1862 to Rome, where for three years he received regular lessons from Liszt. In May 1865 Mr. Bache came to London, where he subsequently resided, with the exception of a short stay in Florence in 1871, where he had lessons from Hans von Bülow. Mr. Bache was chiefly known by his unflinching advocacy of Liszt's claims to be recognised as a composer of the first rank. For several years he gave orchestral and vocal concerts, at which he brought forward the following important works of his master, many of which had not been heard in London before:—Symphonische Dichtungen: Les Préludes, Orpheus, Tasso, Festklänge, Mazeppa; 'Von Fels zum Meer' march, Rhapsodie Hongroise, No. 4; 'The Legend of St. Elizabeth'; Psalm xiii.; Reapers' Chorus (Prometheus); 'Loreley;' 'Jeanne d'Arc'; Faust Symphony; Piano Concertos, nos. 1 and 2, and Fantasie über Ungarische Volksmelodien. During Liszt's visit to England in the spring of 1886 Mr. Bache gave a memorable reception at the Grosvenor Gallery on April 8, when the master played the finale of Schubert's 'Divertissement à la Hongroise,' and his own Hungarian Rhapsody in A minor. Mr. Bache was mainly instrumental in founding the Liszt Scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music, where he was a professor of the piano. He died March 26, 1888. [W.B.S.]
