30The Kingsley Organ Recitals.
31BRUCE B. KINGSLEY, organist of Second Church of Christ, Scientist, gave the first recital in his present course last Thursday evening. The performance confirmed the deep impression made by this brilliant young organist through his previous recitals, and the hour and a quarter was filled with genuine musical pleasure. Beginning with Moscheles' "Homage à Händel," played in thorough fashion, he followed this with Bach's "St. Ann's Fugue," which was played with true dignity, the themes distinct and clearly brought out. The excerpt from Schubert's Unfinished Symphony was delightful, the registration particularly appropriate, showing thorough knowledge of the original orchestral score. There were dash and enthusiasm in this, and lively applause followed. A "Gipsy Suite," by German, was an attractive set, the waltz melancholy, the allegro full of bravura, the menuetto pleasing; it is not deep, but is pleasing music, like all we know of this composer. Hollins' "Grand Chœur" was a favorite with many, both for the originality of the music and the playing of the same. Perhaps the most brilliant playing of the evening was in Wagner's "Siegfried's Journey" and the "Funeral March," from the "Götterdämmerung"; these Mr. Kingsley played with orchestral coloring, so that every theme and counter theme stood forth. A festal close was the overture to "Der Freischütz," which was clean cut and full of swing. The next recital occurs Thursday evening, February 5, with this program, and the attention of music lovers is called to the unusual Liszt and Wagner numbers:
32Concerto in B flat (first movement)……………………………Handel
33Fantaisie and Fugue in G minor………………………………….Bach
34Allegro con grazia (Symphony No. 6)………………………..Tschaikowsky
35Pas des Echarpes…………………………………………………….Chaminade

38A Faust Overture…………………………………………………Wagner
39Rhasodie Hongroise, No. 14………………………………….Liszt
41liott Schenck's lecture on Beethoven, at the New York College of Music. He will sing the Rocco aria and the Pizzarro aria from "Fidelio."
43The Guilmant Organ School.
44THURSDAY afternoon of last week the students of the Guilmant Organ School gave the monthly recital, and in all that denotes sound training the playing of the ten numbers was most gratifying. William C. Carl, the able director of this interesting school, is doing splendid work. The class in boy choir training, recently begun by Clement C. Gale, is making progress. The examinations in harmony, under the direction of A. J. Goodrich, were creditable to instructor and school.
45At the recital last week the following program was given:
46Dorie Toccata…………………………………………………….Bach
47Meditation (Sixth Sonata)………………………………………Guilmant
