1INDIANAPOLIS.
2INDIANAPOLIS, February 27, 1902.
4THE past fortnight has been a busy one for the music lovers of Indianapolis, as indeed the whole season has been one of unusual importance musically. Besides the five Thomas concerts and the coming of many prominent artists, the winter schedule includes several notable performances given by local musicians, conspicuous among which are the series of concerts given by the Symphony Orchestra, the Matinee Musicale, the Musikverein and the Maennerchor.
6Unusual interest was attached to the concert and ball given at the Deutsch Haus on February 22 by the Musikverein on account of the fact that this date was the fourth anniversary of the founding of the society. In their reading of the program the chorus and orchestra showed evidence of the careful training of their director, Alexander Ernestinoff, for several seasons director of the May Festival Chorus.
8Several of the members gave opportunity for delicate shading and pianissimo effects which were obtained with remarkable fidelity to the spirit of the pieces, while the more difficult parts were given with apparent ease. Be it said to the credit of this organization, its soloists have thus far been resident musicians. On this occasion the solo work was done by Edward Nell and his pupil, Miss Georgia Galvin. Mr. Nell has a well trained baritone voice of more than ordinary beauty, and sang in a way which aroused the enthusiastic applause of the audience, which was a thoroughly musical one. Miss Galvin responded to a merited encore. The chorus and orchestra numbered nearly 200.
10Where the national hymn was introduced in the fantasia the chorus joined in, and the audience, rising, did likewise.
12The officers of the Musikverein are: President, George Koethe; first vice-president, Albrecht Kipp; second vice-president, Robert Keeler; corresponding secretary, Otto L. Kipp; recording secretary, J. G. Miller; financial secretary, Herman P. Lieber; treasurer, Albert Metzger; librarian, Fred Bachman; registrar, Leo Rappaport.
14The second and last of the artists' recitals given during the winter season by the Matinee Musicale took place on the evening of February 19 at the Propylaeum, the soloist being Eduard Zeldenrust.
16This organization, which is now in the twenty-fifth year of its existence, has done much to enrich the musical life of this city. Its present officers are: President, Mrs. A. M. Robertson; vice-president, Mrs. James W. Lilly; recording secretary, Mrs. William C. Lynn; corresponding secretary, Miss Adelaide Carman; treasurer, Miss Sarah T. Meigs; librarian, Mrs. Nettie D. O'Boyle; executive committee, president, recording secretary, corresponding secretary, ex-officio, Mrs. Flora M. Hunter, Mrs. S. L. Morrison, Mrs. Henry Schurmann; chairman membership committee, Mrs. A. M. Robertson; reception committee, Mrs. Henry Jameson (chairman), Mrs. A. G. Cox, Miss Josephine Robinson.
18The Plainfield Musical Club, which has a membership of twenty, comprising the best musical talent of the town, and of which Professor Belcher, of Indianapolis, is the instructor, gave its second musicale last night at the opera house. The program was in two parts and consisted of choruses, duets and solos. By request, Miss Rena Stanley repeated a solo which she sang at a former musicale—"Heart of My Heart."
20A musicale was given on Tuesday, February 18, by Mrs. Charles Carroll Brown, of the Lexington, in honor of Mrs. Fleming and Mrs. Friedley, recently of Bloomington, Ind. An artistic program was presented by Miss Mary Josephine Wight, Miss Margaret Lockwood, Mrs. Fremont Swain and Mrs. A. S. Thompson.

88At its third concert of this season, given Wednesday night, the Maennerchor was assisted by three soloists, two of them of this city—Mrs. Philip Goetz, soprano, and Ellis Levy, violinist—and one from Cincinnati, Joseph Schenke, tenor. The concert was given under the direction of the society's leader, Franz Bellinger. Two of the numbers given were repeated from a former concert, and they were well worth repeating. From Schumann's cantata, "The Pilgrimage of the Rose," given in its entirety before the society recently, Mrs. Goetz sang two excerpts, with the assistance of the mixed chorus, and later, Ivan Knorr's "Cossack Love Songs," in which the chorus again took part. Ellis Levy's program numbers were the De Beriot C major Concerto and the Godard Berceuse, and to these he added an extra number. Mr. Schenke gave Walter's Prize Song from "Die Meistersinger" and "The Wanderer's Song," by Schumann. Two choruses by the men's voices completed the program, which was enjoyed and applauded.
90Oliver Willard Pierce, pianist, and Miss Benaldine Smith, violinist, both of this city, gave a recital at New Albany, Ind., January 31, which was pronounced by local musicians as one of the most artistic ever listened to in that city.
92A trio recital was given at Greencastle on February 19 by the ensemble class of Adolph H. Scheelschmidt, of this city. Mr. Scheelschmidt has charge of the violin department of the school of music of DePauw University.
94Prof. Karl Schultz, a prominent music teacher of this city, will in a short time go to New York, where he will reside with his son, who is connected with the New York Journal.
96A musical tea was given on February 21 by Mrs. George T. Randall and daughters, the Misses Pearl and Flora Randall, for Mrs. E. J. Richards, of Chicago, the guest of Mrs. J. W. Cooper and Mrs. Houston, also of Chicago. During the receiving hours, a program was presented by Miss Benaldine Smith, violinist; Miss Elizabeth Cooper, Charles A. Reade and Mrs. Henry Hammel, of Greenfield, pianists; Miss Clarissa Koons, of Muncie, Miss Attia Malott and Henry W. Laut, vocalists; and Oscar Jones gave several Cecilian numbers.
98In the evening a second musicale was given, the same musicians participating.

102"SONGS OF ALL THE COLLEGES"—"Songs of All the Colleges," compiled and arranged by David B. Chamberlain (Harvard) and Karl P. Harrington (Wesleyan), has just been published by Hinds & Noble, Cooper Institute, New York. The book, which contains over 160 songs, is one of the finest collections of college songs which has ever come under our notice.
104Many a college man will pause to think of the good times of his undergraduate days as he turns the leaves of this highly interesting and reminiscent volume.
106The book is one of distinct value, and will, no doubt, meet with a large sale.
