23Good music is heard frequently at the Chapman Sunday evenings at the Clinton avenue residence of Col. and Mrs. Henry T. Chapman. At the one of the recent evenings August Walther's orchestral suite "Hiawatha's Wooing and Wedding" was played on two pianos by the composer and Alexander Rihm. Time increases the admiration for this beautiful composition, and as "Time" is the best of art, Mr. Walther should not despair. Even in Brooklyn there are musicians who appreciate him. Miss Louise B. Voigt also appeared as soloist on this evening, her numbers being "Frühlingsstrost," by Brahms; "Liebesglück," by Max Spicker, and "Before the Dawn," by Chadwick. Other musical numbers were given by Arthur Melvin Taylor and Miss M. T. Williamson.
25Some Baldwin Notices.
27MRS. ADELE LAEIS BALDWIN continues a season full of engagements, always winning new admirers. Some press notices are as follows:
28Chief of the vocalists was that experienced and finished artist, Mrs. Baldwin. She sang songs of Holmes and Bemberg and the simple lullaby, "Rock-a-by Baby." The last named number she gave in a sweet, tender way, touching the hearts of all the mothers who were present. Mrs. Baldwin sings with feeling and with marked expression, wholly interpreting the meaning of the author. She phrases well, knows exactly when to take breath and accomplishes her end with little seeming effort. She is gifted with a pleasing voice and she uses it with intelligence, making her pieces very effective.—New York Home Journal.
30Mrs. Baldwin's contralto solo, "The Worker," earned enthusiastic applause. She has a full, round contralto voice that does not sacrifice quality and sweetness to power, but preserves all three. Mrs. Baldwin was encored and sang a lullaby that was very pretty and touching.—New Brunswick, N. J., Times.
32The contralto, Mrs. Baldwin, a charming woman, was a favorite before she had finished her first solo. Her voice was beautifully rich and sweet, with none of the roughness that often characterizes the contralto voice, and in response to an encore she sat down at the piano, playing her own accompaniment, and sang a tender little lullaby, which seemed just the song for her to sing, and as if none other could have done it quite as well.—New Brunswick, N. J., Fredonian.
34John Young, Tenor.
36Following are some of Mr. Young's recent criticisms:
37Mr. Young's voice is powerful and full of feeling, and he won his listeners immediately by the depths of expression that he put into his interpretation. Mr. Young was greeted with applause when he rose, for "All They that See Him Laugh Him to Scorn."—Newark, N. J., Evening News, March 7, 1901.
39Mr. Young's voice is of a genuine tenor timbre, and is freely emitted. His delivery of the opening recitative, together with the "Every Valley" aria, was effectively done.—Newark, N. J., Sunday News, March 10, 1901.
41Mr. Young gave a selection from "Rebecca" (Barnby), "The Soft Southern Breeze," which was enthusiastically received by the audience and displayed an excellent tenor voice of fine quality.
42* * * Among the most beautiful parts was the tenor solo by Mr. Young and chorus, "Holy Lord God Almighty."—Stamford, Conn., Telegram, March 13, 1901.

76Miss Priscilla White and her pupils gave a song recital at Association Hall last Monday evening before a very enthusiastic audience.
78Miss Rosabelle C. Temple gave a lecture on Sir Arthur Sullivan recently at the Cambridge Y. M. C. A. Her pupils gave the illustrations.
80The subjoined paragraph from the Boston Herald gives Mr. Beresford just praise for his noteworthy fine impersonation of the High Priest in the performance of "Samson and Delilah" at Symphony Hall by the Cecelia Society:
81"Arthur Beresford, as the High Priest, made unquestionably the success of the evening. Endowed naturally with a wonderful voice, he was pre-eminently fitted for the role so wisely assigned him. This was, apparently, his opportunity, and he improved it to the very limit. The music written for the High Priest fairly teems with technical difficulties, and in every essential respect these were met and overcome with astonishing facility. His work last evening was characterized by its reliability, perfect intonation, distinct enunciation and, in proper places, by an inspiring display of intense fire. He was altogether satisfying and deservedly won the favor of the audience."
82Miss Adah Campbell Hussey, contralto; Clarence Shirley, tenor, and other artists from Boston, assisted at a concert which Robert Whitten gave at the Winchester (Mass.) Town Hall. The Winchester Press, in its reports, referred thus to Miss Hussey:
83"Miss Hussey sang most beautifully. Her voice is clear, resonant, warm, and she sang in a true musicianly manner."
84Mrs. Kilduff, soprano; Miss Marie Nichols, violinist, also appeared at the concert. The accompanists were Miss Annie L. Berry and Miss Mabel W. Sterns. Mr. Whitten is a singer with a good bass voice, and he has many friends and acquaintances among Boston musicians.
85Mme. Etta Edwards, accompanied by her pupils, will sail for Europe in the early summer.
87Legrand Howland's Concert.
89A VERY distinguished and good sized audience was present last Thursday afternoon at Carnegie Lyceum on the occasion of the concert given by Legrand Howland, the composer. On this occasion Mr. Howland presented excerpts from his lyric drama "Nita," which consisted of recitative and "Ave Maria," a duet for soprano and tenor, sung by Miss Minnie Tracey, who had already sung the part in the first production of "Nita" in Paris, and by Leo Liberman. The work is very melodious, and was received with a great deal of enthusiasm.
91Miss Tracey was also heard in songs by Leroux and Legrand Howland, and again distinguished herself as an artist of great merit and a singer of authority. Mr. Liberman, the tenor, has a decidedly excellent voice, and was heard in several numbers in which he proved himself a good acquisition to the concert stage. Miss Martina Johnston, the violinist, played with much fervor and considerable technic and large tone. A young and attractive contralto made a very good impression with two songs of Legrand Howland, and also in the big aria "Mon Coeur," by Saint-Saëns. The young lady has a future, and her name is Miss Genevieve Thomas. Legrand Howland's pupil, Mr. Bensel, made his début with a very good baritone voice. Altogether, Mr. Howland's concert was a success. More about Mr. Howland will be found on another page.
