85Marche aux Flambeaux………………………………………Guilmant
87As is always the case when Mr. Carl plays, the church was crowded to its utmost capacity, and several hundred were obliged to stand during the entire recital.
89Mr. Carl played one new composition, and in response to a number of requests he played the beautiful "Variations on a Scotch Air," by Dudley Buck.
91Much might be said of Mr. Carl's playing, but it is sufficient to say that there are very few organists who play as well and fewer still who play better than he does. His musical temperament, his superb technic and pedalling and his entire command of his instrument are always in evidence.
93Miss Howard, who is a pupil of Madame von Klenner's, and one of our best choir singers, has a voice that is unusually beautiful in tone quality. She sang the difficult aria remarkably well. Mr. Odell has a smooth, sympathetic baritone which is pleasing to the ear. Mr. Carl gave his ninetieth recital yesterday (Tuesday) evening.
95William Nelson Burritt.
97MUSICIANS will be interested in learning that William Nelson Burritt, Chicago's eminent vocal instructor, will remain in Chicago this summer, and conduct a normal course of study, instead of going to Europe, as is his usual custom.
99For the benefit of teachers and singers a very interesting and comprehensive line of work, that will bring quick results, has been outlined by Mr. Burritt, who may be addressed at any time at his spacious and exceptionally attractive studios, 312 Kimball Building, Chicago.
101ANNA JEWELL.—Mrs. Anna Jewell, the pianist, met with great success as soloist at a concert given to Jean Gérardy by the Twelfth Night Club in its rooms at Berkeley Lyceum, Tuesday afternoon, March 18.
