1is by Harry Eldridge, for tenor or baritone. Carl Busch's "I Had a Dove," for low voice, is dedicated to Francis Fischer Powers. It displays abundant musicianship. "The Moon's Lullaby," by Charles S. Burnham, is for low voice. It will prove an irresistible encore piece, slim as is the musical idea presented. Frederick Field Bullard's "The Kavanagh," for medium voice in F or bass voice in D, is a rollicking composition, well written and full of spirit. "When the Land Was White With Moonlight," by Franz X. Arens, has a tender, poetic charm all its own. It is for high voice. Mary Turner Salter has composed "A Water Lily," for medium voice, simple in feeling and structure, effective withal. "The Steersman's Song," for bass, by Harry Hale Pike, is an excellent specimen of its genre. Of Carlo Minetti's four songs the "Sevillana," for medium voice, with its exotic Spanish rhythms and coloring will prove a very popular concert number.
3E. R. Kroeger, fertile in ideas, has a group of six songs in this batch. The "Lullaby," for medium voice, is characteristic, and "How Shall I Love You?" for medium voice, is replete with sentiment and very interesting melodically and harmonically. "Heliotrope," for high voice; "A Valentine," for high voice, are both by Marie von Hammer. They are melodious. Charles Fonteyn Manney writes well, though he doubtless writes more than he wishes. Among the songs of his sent us for review we note "Comes My Love To-day?" for medium voice, in which he sets for himself a standard that he reaches in none of the others. It is an admirable version of Heine's "Kommt Feins Liebchen Heut?" The other songs range in sentiment from grave to gay, several of them being religious. His "Resurrection" is a short cantata for Easter.
5BREITKOPF & HARTEL.
7Edward Burlingame Hill has composed three poetical sketches for piano. The first, in A, is the most original and is quite fresh in feeling and figuration. Three songs by Anne Buckler Lake are entitled "The Hills o' Skye," "Sonnet" and "The Wild Bird's Song." The first is redolent of the Kelt with its wild humor and melancholy. "The Quest" is a setting of a legend, the music by the lamented Ethelbert Nevin and the text by Randolph Hartley. It is marked throughout by the melodic grace of Nevin. The John Church Company publish the work, which is appropriate for festivals, being a sort of romantic cantata with mixed choruses and telling solos and duos.
9SHARPE SINGS AMERICAN
11SONGS IN GERMANY.
13The Kaiserin Pleased With "Sigh No More, Ladies."
15ERNEST SHARPE, the basso, who has been singing in Germany this season, received a special invitation from Emperor William to sing at the palace. Before their Majesties, Mr. Sharpe sang a varied program and American composers were not neglected. The Empress was especially pleased with "Sigh No More, Ladies," by William Arms Fisher. At a concert given Sunday afternoon, March 23, in the hall of the Kultus-Ministeriums, for the benefit of the children's recreation grounds, Mr. Sharpe sang a group of songs by Clayton Johns, Charles Fonteyn Manny, and William Arms Fisher, and these were received with special applause. At this concert Joachim, Dr. Schaper, and Freitfrau von Lipperheide, performed the Beethoven Trio in B major, and solos. Besides Mr. Sharpe there were two other vocalists, Felix Schmidt and Miss Tabert. Each sang a group of songs.
17A report of the concert in the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger referred as follows to Mr. Sharpe:
19"In the prominent artistic features of the concert we must include the excellent basso, Ernest Sharpe. In the face of the closer relations, thanks to Prince Henry's visit, between Germany and America, the American artist had in advance the sympathy of the public. But the political actuality aside, the distinguished concert singer, thanks to his magnificent voice, his presence, charmed as it did in the year 1899, when he made his first appearance in Berlin. Mr. Sharpe sang exclusively American songs by Clayton Johns, Charles Fonteyn Manny and William Arms Fisher."
