11907 at Atlanta, in 1908–10 at Wanamaker's in Philadelphia, and since 1912 at St. Patrick's Church in Chicago and also theory-teacher at the Metropolitan Conservatory. In 1901 he was soloist at the Royal Academy of St. Cecilia in Rome, and appeared at the World's Fairs at St. Louis in 1904 and at Jamestown in 1907. In Philadelphia he gave over 500 concerts and has been heard in recital in most of the larger cities. He designed the great organ in the Medinah Temple in Chicago, at its opening playing Borowski's 'Allegro de Concert' for organ and orchestra for the first time, the composer conducting. At Atlanta he conducted the Symphony Orchestra and the Atlanta Festival for three years. In 1914 he was elected to the Royal Philharmonic Academy in Rome, and in 1916–19 was dean of the Illinois Chapter of the A. G. O. He has written the opera 'La Corsicana' (New York, 1903), a Missa Solemnis (1913), the motet 'Ecce Sacerdos Magnus' (Paulist Choristers at the Vatican, 1912), and more than sixty lesser pieces, vocal and instrumental. In manuscript are a suite for orchestra, a 'Romanza' for orchestra and an organ-sonata. He was made Mus.D. by the Grand Conservatory, New York, in 1902. [R.7]

29BRUNE, ADOLF GERHARD (June 21, 1870, Baccum, Germany), first studied with his father. From 1887 he took the regular course at the Teachers' Seminary in Osnabrück, and in addition kept up studies in piano, violin and clarinet. In 1889–94 he was organist at Peoria, Ill. Since 1894 he has been in Chicago, from 1898 to 1917 as teacher of piano and theory at the Chicago Musical College. At the start of his Chicago career he worked with Liebling and he also had advice from Ziehn in composition. Concert-playing was given up in favor of teaching and composing. His list of compositions now extends to op. 76. The Ballade in E minor for piano, op. 2, and the Ballade in F, op. 11, are published by Leuckart, while Schott & Sons have published the Sonata in D minor for piano and violin, which has been praised for harmonic richness and contrapuntal skill. The string-quartet, op. 5, has been played by the Spiering, Philadelphia and Flonzaley Quartets, and movements from the string-quartets, opp. 26 and 38, by the Chicago and Kneisel Quartets. The 'Lied des Singschwans,' a symphonic poem for large orchestra, has been given by the Chicago Orchestra under Stock; 'Ein Dämmerungsbild' was introduced by Kunwald and the Cincinnati Orchestra in 1917; and the 'Overture to a Drama' was brought forward by Stock. Many of his songs, organ-pieces and choral works have been heard in public, though not yet published. A fuller list of works is given in Baker, Dict. of Musicians, p. 124. [R.7]

39BUCK, DUDLEY (Mar. 10, 1839, Hartford, Conn. : Oct. 6, 1909, Orange, N. J.). See article in Vol. i. 413–4. Buck's career, becoming established just when and as it did, exerted an important formative impression on American development. He had solid musicianship as organist and composer, combined with the wisdom and tact required to win and hold popular appreciation. Much of his early work as organ-recitalist was educational in much the same way as that of Thomas when on his early orchestral tours. For a long time he exerted a profound influence upon choir-music, especially as the American exaltation of the quartet-choir fell in with his own predilections. In this field what he set out to do was extraordinarily well done. Regarding his choral works it is fair to point out his fine sympathy
