1MUSIC IN BROOKLYN.
3If any of this week's concertgivers in Brooklyn are overlooked they must put the blame upon the calendar. The writer does not recall a week when events crowded upon each other as they do from Sunday to Saturday of the current week. Under the circumstances several of the reviews must be deferred until next week. The musical week began Sunday afternoon with a matinee by the Arion Society at Arion Hall. A report of this concert will be found on another page of this issue. Monday evening the Brooklyn Saengerbund gave its first orchestral concert under the auspices of the Brooklyn Institute.

Small violin pupils of Carl Venth will assist Miss Wagner's pupils.

42Symphony in C major, with Fugue Finale, Jupiter………….Mozart Concerto for Piano in E minor, op. 11………………………..Chopin Overture, Cockaigne (In London Town)………………Edward Elgar (First time.) one of two readings
44To-morrow afternoon and evening the New York Church Choir Company will take possession of the Academy of Music. In the afternoon Flotow's "Martha" will be sung and in the evening the company will "wrestle" with Gounod's "Faust." Most of the members of this company have sung in comic opera, in addition to their work in the church choir. A few have had brief experiences in grand opera, but no names of prominent singers are upon the list. Optimistic souls hope for the best in this latest venture to give grand opera at popular prices.
46With the assistance of the Maxwell House Orchestra, Miss At Lee and Albert E. Andrews as the vocalists, Dr. Henry G. Hanchett gave his closing lecture in Adelphi Assembly Hall Monday night (December 2). The orchestra played selections from Haydn's "Military Symphony," from Grieg's "Peer Gynt" Suite, and the march from Raff's symphony, "Lenore." The piano illustrations played by Dr. Hanchett were the Largo from Beethoven's Sonata, op. 2, No. 2; the Scherzo from Schumann's Sonata, op. 11; Rubinstein's Barcarolle in G major and Liszt's arrangement of Wagner's Spinning Song. Dr. Hanchett gave outlines of these compositions as well as those played by the orchestra. Miss At Lee sang Chadwick's "Allah" and the Händel aria, "Oh, Had I Jubal's Lyre." Mr. Andrews sang "Gypsy John," by Clay. The two singers, as a duet, gave Goetz's "Still wie die Nacht." An engagement elsewhere prevented The Musical Courier reporter from attending the lecture recital. But we hear the hall was crowded as usual and all received some benefit from so instructive a musical evening. The spring series of lecture recitals will begin on March 3. "Musical Contrasts," the subject for the season, will be continued by the lecturer, Dr. Hanchett. These recitals at Adelphi Hall are given under the joint auspices of the Brooklyn Institute and Adelphi College. Dr. Hanchett is the director of the school of music connected with the college.
48Tuesday evening, December 3, George Francis Morse gave an organ recital in the Flatbush Reformed Church, of which he is the organist and choirmaster. Clemente Bologna, basso, was the assisting singer. The program follows:
49Prelude and Fugue in E major………………………………………Bach Andante from E flat Symphony………………………………………Mozart Recitative and aria from Rebekah………………………………………Barnby Miss Dorothy Moller, Accompanied by Mrs. Florence Brown Sheppard.
50Symphonie Romaine……………………………………………..Widor Aria from Samson……………………………………………..Handel Clemente Bologna.
51Scherzo in D…………………………………………………Rousseau In Paradisum…………………………………………………Dubois Parsifal, Dorspiel……………………………………………..Wagner Music to A Midsummer Night's Dream…………………….Mendelssohn one of two readings
52Scherzo in D…………………………………………………Rousseau In Paradisum…………………………………………………Dubois Parsifal, Dorspiel……………………………………………..Wagner Music to A Midsummer Night's Dream…………………Mendelssohn one of two readings
54Miss Edith C. Milligan, a youthful pianist, gave a recital in Wissner Hall Tuesday evening (December 3). She played compositions by Chopin, Weber, Moszkowski, Mendelssohn and Liszt. Mrs. Harriet Diamont-Nathan, soprano, assisted.
56Arthur Whiting, the pianist, and Mr. Longy, first oboe player of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, assisted the Kneisel Quartet at the concert given in Association Hall last Wednesday evening. Compositions by Beethoven, Grieg, Mozart, Chadwick and Brahms were presented. Mr. Whiting and Mr. Schroeder gave an uncommonly beautiful reading of the Grieg Sonata in A minor, for piano and 'cello. Much depends upon the pianist in this characteristic music, and at this performance, Mr. Whiting, as ever, impressed his hearers with his skill. Such control of the pedals and such warmth of tone one does not get every day from ensemble pianists. Then the modesty of the man is another cause for congratulation. Mr. Whiting, Mr. Kneisel and Mr. Schroeder played two movements from Brahms' Trio in B major for piano, violin and 'cello, and thus the audience again heard Whiting at his best, for is he not a Brahms player par excellence? The assistance of Mr. Longy was required in the Mozart Quartet in F major for oboe, violin, viola and 'cello. A foot note on the program announced this as a first performance here. While antiquated to our modern ears, the quartet is one the music lover hears gladly. Sweet and pure as a lily and gentle as a zephyr, the piece is, in fact, a continuous solo for oboe, with obligato by the strings. Mr. Longy did full justice to the score, and his associate players retired at the conclusion of the performance and permitted him to receive alone the cordial acknowledgments from the audience.
