5Prof. J. K. Paine has put the final touches to the orchestral score of his grand opera. It is entitled "Azara," and deals with a romantic Moorish subject. He has been his own librettist.

9They have had a concert in Newburyport, Mass., and some selections from the comments of the Newburyport Daily News on the event may not prove uninteresting: "Seldom has the brilliant naive and the ardently flamboyant style of the ingenuous West broken out with such vigor so near Boston. * * * To criticise last night's concert would be the baldest kind of presumption. It was the perfection of orchestration. * * * The program was well concluded. Quaint, weird, piquant, fascinating was the inimitable Grieg suite, full of odd conceits, beautiful cadences, with hints of sunshine and the patter of raindrops. Touches of the minut there were, when, if one shut one's eyes, it required no great stretch of fancy to conjure a green sward with dancing Tyrolese peasants. * * * Nobody felt a pang of regret, whatever Mr. Schroeder's excellence as a 'cellist, for the fate which sent Rudolph Nagel here. The audience was charmed. It was like Wuli Fries in his palmy days. Mr. Nagel might have worn his fingers off on his strings and the audience would have stayed to see him do it."

13The Cecilia, under the direction of B. J. Lang, is to give for the first time in this city Verdi's "Te Deum" and "Stabat Mater." The same society is also to perform Berlioz's "Damnation of Faust."

17The Handel and Haydn Society is pluming itself on its new conductor, Prof. Reinhold L. Herman. He will not make his debut here in this relation before Christmas. There are vague rumors that the society will surprise its patrons with a novelty at its opening concert. Something is whispered regarding an oratorio, by a Saxon composer, named Händel, of which the title is "The Messiah." The new blood in the management of the time-honored society is evidently determined to make itself felt.

21Comic opera has not been as epidemic here as it was last season about this time. The only case at present is the company of Frank Daniels, which had "The Idol's Eye" last week, and will break out with "The Wizard of the Nile" to-morrow night. B. E. WOOLF.
23Van den Hende.
25This admired violincellist has been playing a great deal of late at the residences of prominent society people of New York. Recently she has played at the residence of Mrs. William Douglas Sloane, Mrs. John S. Barnes, Mrs. R. C. Greenleaf, Mrs. Bayard Cutting and Mrs. Miles Standish.
27A Catalogue of MacDowell's Works.
29P. L. Jung, the music publisher, of No. 41 Union square, New York, has just issued a complete catalogue of the compositions of the great American composer, Edward MacDowell. The demand for his works has been so incessant that Mr. Jung has deemed it opportune to catalogue them all. He lists not only the compositions he himself publishes, but also those brought out by Arthur P. Schmidt, G. Schirmer, Breitkopf & Härtel and J. Hainauer. The piano works, orchestral works, choral works, songs, duets, trios and quartets, instrumental and vocal, as well as compositions for the violin and the violoncello, are tabulated. This is a sensible piece of enterprise on the part of Mr. Jung, which will be appreciated by musicians everywhere.
