1Massenet and the Guilmant Organ School.
2M. JULES MASSENET, composer of "Herodiade," "Esclamonde," "Manon," "Werther," "Thais," "Le Cid," "Le Mage" and "La Navarraise," has become a vice-president of the Guilmant Organ School. M. Massenet, who is one of the world's greatest composers, has already taken a lively interest in the work of Mr. Carl and the formation of an organ school in America. His long association with the Paris Conservatoire will make his connection with the school especially valuable in the advice he is able to give. As has been previously announced, M. Alexandre Guilmant is the president of the school, and the methods as set forth by him will be used by Mr. Carl, whose long association and friendship with M. Guilmant will prove of the largest advantage. While abroad this summer Mr. Carl visited M. Guilmant at his chateau and the work of the year was carefully mapped out and gone over in detail. Mr. Carl will give his personal attention to all matters, and besides give instruction himself on the organ and in theory.
4The school opened last Monday under the most auspicious conditions, and pupils are arriving from extended parts of the country to avail themselves of the advantages to be gained by study here. Pupils' recitals are included in the course, besides a series of lectures by eminent men on important musical subjects will shortly be announced. In addition to M. Massenet, the list of vice-presidents is already an extraordinary one, containing, as it does, the names of M. Theodore Dubois, director of the Paris Conservatoire; M. Eugène Gigout, director of the Organ School and Plain Song, Paris; J. Frederick Bridge, Mus. Doc., organist of Westminster Abbey; T. Yorke-Trotter, Mus. Doc., director of the London Organ School; Edmund H. Turpin, Mus. Doc., director of Trinity College, London; Charles H. Pearce, Mus. Doc., professor at the Guild Hall School of Music, London; W. Stephenson Hoyte, Esq., professor of the organ at the Royal College of Music, London; John E. West, F. R. C. O., organist of All Saints' Church, London, and M. Joseph Callaerts, organist of the Antwerp Cathedral.
6Miss Effie Stewart will devote a good deal of her time this season to teaching French diction in connection with the cultivation of the voice.

13A VERY interesting controversy is pending at present with Richard Wagner as the central figure, between the Wagnerite apostles Ashton Ellis and Houston Chamberlain on one side, and John F. Runciman, of the Saturday Review, on the other side, and Mr. Runciman is doing some smart work in the shape of caustic analysis on the Wagnerian situation. He has been at Fontainebleau, or rather at Grez-sur-Loing, near the forest, with the composer Fritz Delius, and his recent letters are formidable attacks on the ethical position constantly claimed by the disciples of the Bayreuth school. It may interest some of the latter to know that under the sway of Cosima, Richard himself is being taboed now, and her father, the late Liszt, is considered the true representative of the ethical musical tendency, while it is even claimed within the inner circle at Wahnfried that all of Richard's inspiration not only came from Liszt, but can be scientifically traced to that source. Cosima always did have a greater veneration for her dead husband before her father's death than she had for him after that sad event of 1886. The peculiar domestic contrasts offered by the relations of individuals of the same family belonging to one household that contained varieties of husbands and selections of grandparents made fidelity to the memory of any single one of them a question as much of feeling as of temporary interest. Cosima is said to have remarked recently that much of Siegfried's "Baerenheuter" music is preferable to much that the senior Wagner wrote when he was of Siegfried's age.
15I should be very much interested to know how Mr. Runciman would look upon these recent developments from the true Wagnerian point of view, because he seems to enjoy Wagner's music entirely apart from its effect upon the moral regeneration of effete European monarchies, as some suppose it to have. Vide the bad sewerage of Oporto, which has caused such a rapid spread of the bubonic plague, the sewerage having been neglected simultaneously with a most flagrant neglect of Wagner by the Oportians. There is nothing like extending the grasp of a Wagnerian ethical idea.
17When is London going to get a good orchestra? When is a good, great conductor ever to have a permanent home in this city? The present season of promenade concerts at Queen's Hall shows us a band that is effective in double forte and noisy music, but it has no artistic value; the bowing of the strings is haphazard, there is no rhythmic equilibrium, the brass is overwhelming and the general tone rough. Henry J. Wood, the conductor, is an excellent conductor of these popular concerts, but London needs a big man. We must get an orchestra here if we desire any progress. Our present conservatism is death-dealing.
19The time has come when our dear, old, musty Philharmonic Society is to elect a successor to Dr. Mackenzie.
