41Hans Kronold in Maine.
43Hans Kronold, the cellist, is in Maine with the W. R. Chapman organization on its festival tour, and is making a series of successes. Remembering Mr. Kronold's superior merits displayed at last year's music festival, the public of Maine had a cordial welcome prepared for him. He played in Norway, Me., on January 6, and aroused immense enthusiasm, having to give three encores. The following evening he played in Lewiston, and the next evening in Augusta with enormous success. Encores are the rule for Mr. Kronold always. His playing with orchestra of Servais' brilliant fantaisie on the "Daughter of the Regiment" has become something which the public, admiring virtuosity, look forward to.
45"Phaudrig Crohoore" by Yonkers Choral Society.
47Dr. Charles Villiers Stanford's ballad, "Phaudrig Crohoore," was the principal number on the program of the Yonkers Choral Society's first concert of the season, which took place on January 11. It was sung with great spirit and with fine attention to the varying character of emotion called for in the text. The chorus shows a marked improvement over its work of last year, demonstrating fully the skill and untiring energy of the conductor. It is a matter for especial commendation that this organization should have undertaken such an advanced work as "Phaudrig Crohoore" thus early in its existence.
49The program included classic choruses and part songs by ancient and modern composers, among them a charming composition by an American—Paul Ambrose's "Madrigal." The soloists were Franz Kaltenborn, who was accompanied by his brother Henry, Leonard E. Auty and Mrs. Edgar Stillman Kelley. Mr. Kaltenborn was already a favorite in Yonkers and he easily added to his prestige by a superb performance of his numbers, winning in one instance a double encore. Mr. Auty sang with the chorus in Schubert's "Hymn to the Almighty," and gave Gounod's "Lend Me Your Aid" as a solo number. He was eminently successful in both, and after the latter the audience would not be content until he had given two Scotch songs. Mrs. Kelley, who also accompanied the chorus, played two compositions by Mr. Kelley, "The Flower Seekers" and "The Headless Horseman." Nothing on the program made a better impression than Mrs. Kelley's work. She is a most effective accompanist and a solo performer of unusual attainments. It was altogether a most creditable concert.
51The Choral Society will begin now to prepare for the production in April of "Hiawatha," a dramatic cantata by its conductor, Frederick R. Burton. This work will issue presently from the Oliver Ditson Company. It is designed for chorus, soloists and orchestra and will take about two hours in performance. The soloists selected for its production are Miss Mary H. Mansfield, soprano; Miss Mae Cressy, contralto; Robert A. Shaw, tenor, and J. Stanford Brown, bass.

91Mr. Mannes.
92Accompanists—F. W. Riesberg and Horace Kinney.
94One is almost justified in declaring Von Fielitz the Schumann of our time, so full are his songs of the beautiful melody, changeful rhythm and depth of harmony which characterize Schumann. In these songs, Mr. Miller, whose organ much resembles that of his teacher, Mr. Powers, made his best effect.
96Miss Hall, not fully recovered from her recent illness, won three recalls after both her groups of songs, repeating the interesting "O Ships that Sail," by Farwell, a young American now studying with Humperdinck, and in whom Mr. Seidl has expressed a warm interest.
98Mr. Mannes gave a broad, noble interpretation of the Bach-like "Bouree," by Ries, his violin singing out with impassioned fervor in the beautiful adagio. His sister's dainty and ever-sympathetic accompaniment in the "Perpetuum" showed to make that piece especially effective, and both were compelled repeatedly to bow their acknowledgment to enthusiastic applause.
100Miss Hall sings in German as if she were a native, and a young Spaniard present assured the writer that when she sings Spanish music (Filles de Cadix) she seems the genuine Spanish maid; how fine 'tis to possess such versatility!
102The deep tones of Mr. Mannes' G string closed the morning impressively, all present voting the musicale the most enjoyable one of the lot, so far.
104Mr. Riesberg accompanied Miss Hall, Mr. Powers' regular studio accompanist, Horace Kinney playing for Mr. Miller.
106The artists for Wednesday morning, January the 26th next, are: Mrs. S. H. Gardyne Stewart, soprano; Victor Baillard, baritone, and Harry Arnold, pianist.
