1BOSTON, Mass., January 26, 1903.
3MISS PRISCILLA WHITE gave a delightful song recital at the invitation of the Dean and Mrs. Frank Knight Sanders, of the Yale Divinity School, at New Haven, Conn., Saturday evening, January 17. In Trowbridge Library Hall, in which it was given, was an audience room at once acoustically perfect and suggestive of scholarly surroundings. The audience which filled the library was well divided between the theological faculty and students, for whom the recital was primarily intended, and representatives from the university, social and musical circles. Among these were President and Mrs. Hadley, Prof. and Mrs. Frank C. Porter, Prof. and Mrs. George B. Storms, Prof. and Mrs. Henry W. Farnam, Prof. and Mrs. George T. Ladd, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis H. English, Mr. and Mrs. Pierce N. Welch, Mr. and Mrs. Rowland Hazard, Dr. and Mrs. William G. Daggett, the Misses Whitney, Prof. and Mrs. Harry B. Jepson, Dr. Kenneth McKenzie, Dr. and Mrs. John P. Cushing and Prof. and Mrs. Arthur B. Morrill.
5The accompanist was Miss Katharine M. Lincoln, of Boston. Her sympathetic and unobtrusive interpretation of her themes added much to the pleasure of the recital.
7A letter just received from New Haven has the following to say about the concert:
9"Miss White's program included songs in four languages, and in more than four different styles of music. The first part contained Purcell's 'Nymphs and Shepherds,' and Handel's 'There in Myrtle Shades,' of which the florid passages were executed with perfect ease and clearness; a sprightly old German song by Löwe, and familiar songs by the greatest of all masters in this field, Franz and Schubert, with two brilliant examples from Giordani and Verdi, and the remarkably beautiful 'Song of a Pious Old Maid,' by Herman, which is both impressive and charming. The second part was devoted to French and American composers. Miss White can sing to perfection, not merely the florid style of Handel and Verdi, but the slow, sustained style of such composers as Délibes and Paladille; while songs by Lidgey, McKenzie and Miss Sawyer gave an opportunity for the artistic expression of sentiment, and for brilliancy of execution."
11Carl Faelten's fourth recital of the season took place in Huntington Chambers Hall Wednesday evening before a large audience, the program being as follows: Prelude and Fugue, D major, Bach; Fantaisie, G minor, op. 77, and Sonata, F sharp major, op. 78. Beethoven; "Papillons," op. 2, Schumann; Etude de Concert, F major, Barcarolle, No. 5, A minor, and Valse from "Le Bal." A flat major, Rubinstein. In the course of some very interesting introductory remarks, Mrs. Reinhold Faelten pointed out the proudly classical form of the Bach pieces, the intensely poetic nature of the Schumann Suite, and commented upon the widely different style of the Beethoven Sonata from those he had previously composed, besides touching briefly on Rubinstein's relation to the other composers. Mr. Faelten did full justice to the entire program, carrying his audience completely into the spirit of the various schools of composition represented.
