81CARL ORGAN RECITALS.
83FOUR novelties were presented at the second in the series of organ recitals at the "Old First" Presbyterian Church, on Tuesday afternoon, November 19, by William C. Carl. Charles Schuetze, the harpist, assisted the organist in this program:
85Sonata for Organ in C minor, op. 25………………………………………Salomé
86Interlude (Andante Expressivo) (new, first time)…………………Fletcher
87Scherzo Symphonique (new, first time)……………………………Debat-Ponsan
88Harp solo, Consolation (No. 2)………………………………………Liszt
89Charles Schuetze.
90Pièce Héroïque………………………………………………………..Franck
91Béatitude (new, first time)…………………………………………..Loret
92Praeludium and Fugue in B flat………………………………………Bach
93(Breitkopf & Härtel, Book IV.)
94Variations on an Ancient Xmas Carol……………………………….Dethier
95Harp and organ, Andante…………………………………………….Von Wilm
96(Concerto for harp and organ.)
97Messrs. Schuetze and Carl.
98Grand Chœur in D major (new, first time)………………………..Faulkes
100Although this was the only recital to be given in the afternoon, the church was crowded to overflowing. Mr. Carl's programs are never too long, and then the music always represents the catholic tastes of the director. The new works played by Mr. Carl are by French and English composers, and they all four proved worthy of a hearing. The Interlude, by Fletcher, and "Béatitude," by Clément Loret, are examples of contemplative, tender music, suitable for offertory or as a voluntary before service. The Scherzo Symphonique, by Georges Debat-Ponsan, is a stronger and more original composition. The writer was compelled on account of another engagement to leave the church after the charming variations on an ancient Christmas Carol, by Dethier, of New York, were played, and hence missed hearing the novelty by William Faulkes.
102Mr. Schuetze played well, but his solo would have been more effective if accompanied by the organ. To our modern ears the harp as a solo instrument is not particularly agreeable.
104The third recital in the series was given last evening (Tuesday). The soloists were Mrs. Antonia Sawyer, contralto; Miss Helen L. Reynolds, violinist, and Miss Mabel Reynolds, cellist. The closing recital will be given Tuesday evening, December 2. Then Mr. Carl will give a concert on December 10 to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Dr. Duffield's pastorate.
106W. J. HENDERSON.—Wm. J. Henderson commenced his course of lectures on "History of Music" at the New York College of Music on Monday afternoon, November 18.

110MARY HOWE.—The distinguished American soprano, Mary Howe, who has been singing in Germany during the past five years, has just returned to this country.

Miss Howe will be heard in concert here during this season.
