38A recital of more than ordinary local interest was that of the music department of Rowland Hall, being part of the commencement exercises of that school, under the direction of Miss Gratia Flanders. The pupils of the department did themselves and their instructress much credit. George Skelton, a graduate of a music conservatory of London, and a very accomplished violinist, assisted. The participants were the Misses Mary Brackett, Pearl Gleed, Bonnie Miller, Winifred Brice, Veta Mayberry, Dorothy Leonard, Helen Long, Bertha West, Alta Goddard, Mabel Robinson, Bella Blythe, Florence Burton, Effie Tong, Ada Thompson, Ella Coltharp, Margaret Clark, Mary Finley, Amy Osborne, Isabelle Osborne, Florence Wines, Clara Cabelle, Jessie Kenyon.
40Miss Edna Duncan, who has won much favorable comment by her solo work in the choir of St. Mark's Cathedral here, has left for the East, where she will pursue her studies. Miss Duncan's voice is a rich contralto of good volume and compass, and there is scarcely any doubt that she will become famous as an oratorio soloist.
42A local opera company has just been formed, and will, under the direction of Prof. J. J. McClellan, give "Little Christopher" as a summer attraction at the Salt Palace.
44Dr. J. Lewis Browne, of Atlanta, Ga., has just left for home after a visit of several days. While here Dr. Browne was entertained by the faculty of All Hallow's R. C. College, and took a prominent part in a concert given by the college musicians.
46The Trail of a Hoax.
48THERE is an entertaining weekly musical column in the Sheffield Daily Telegraph. Excellent is its writer's recent paragraph headed "An April Hoax." We give it in full: "The musical press and a large number of musicians have been taken in by the Leipzic Signale, a sedate musical journal, the staff of which once a year compile a nonsense number to 'show their esteemed readers the lighter side of the musical world.' An imaginative contributor wrote a thrilling story of a young student who helped an infirm old woman in the street, and she in return showed the good Samaritan a bundle of old music paper, which she said she had found in the house of a capellmeister in whose service she had been. After his death nobody had bothered about these manuscripts, wherefore she had annexed them, and when the lucky youth turned them over he came across a volume yellow with age and gnawed by mice, on the first sheet of which was written 'Franz to his Anselmo.' The music proved to be that of the 'Unfinished Symphony' by Franz Schubert! In feverish excitement the youth turned over the leaves of the precious tome when, lo! there met his enraptured gaze the Scherzo and the Finale of the most marvelous Torso among musical masterpieces; in other words the long lost 'finish' of the heavenly 'Unfinished Symphony.'
50"This pretty story was repeated in all seriousness by the Paris Ménestrel, and thence found its way into numerous British and Continental papers. The Musical Times traced the hoax to its source, and found in the same remarkable publication ridiculous tales of preposterous, vain glorious speeches said to have been delivered by Richard Strauss; nonsensical, impossible titles of two new symphonic poems by the same great musician; details of pieces of music with the most absurd 'programmes'; reviews of silly hypothetical books, e. g., 'Richard Wagner and Animals,' two volumes, each of 600 pages."—Exchange.
52Miss Doris Ward.
54THE excellence of the series of concerts given this season by the Siegel-Cooper Company, in the large auditorium adjoining the piano department, has attracted attention on account of the well arranged programs. This is to the credit of Miss Doris Ward, who has had the entire management of these concerts for the piano department. Not only has Miss Ward arranged these concerts, engaging artists, &c., but her good judgment has kept the programs at the high standard that has attracted so much attention from the musical public of New York. In addition to this work, Miss Ward has taken part in many of the concerts as soloist, being an excellent pianist, and has also filled the difficult position of accompanist. Miss Ward is recognized as a fine accompanist and has filled many engagements in concerts outside of the Siegel-Cooper auditorium the past season. Miss Ward will continue her work the coming season as she has during the past and will accept engagements as soloist or accompanist, and can be addressed, care the piano department of the Siegel-Cooper Company.
56VIOLIN maker of Milan has reproduced the type of instruments "d'amore," in which beneath the strings destined to be set in vibration by the bow there are others, tuned like the rest, which are caused to vibrate by sympathy or "per amore" with the usual strings. At a late concert the success of these instruments was demonstrated especially in music of the eighteenth and previous centuries.
58Mascagni has completed three acts of his opera "Vestilia." He gave his friends lately an opportunity of hearing some pieces which were pronounced to be works of art.
60There is a movement in Rome to establish a permanent lyric theatre in that city. Italy has as yet never had a permanent theatrical or operatic organization. In the famous theatres of the great cities, there have been stock companies, but only seasons of a few weeks, always with a new artistic personnel and a new repertory. A commission has been appointed to examine the question with a view to obtain the assistance of the state, for without a state subvention the Italians think nothing can be done.
62"Rome by Night" is a little operetta which was lately produced at the Quirinal Theatre of Rome, but suppressed after a career of three nights by the authorities of "Public Safety."
64The Semaine Musicale of Lille has suspended its issues, the theatre has been burned down and may not be rebuilt; there are no concerts, and the season is over.
66The new opera, "La Petite Maison," music by William Chaumet, has a very Frenchy libretto. The time is the Regency when all the aristocrats and financiers possessed a "little house." In this case a jeweler blest with a pretty wife is seduced into a "little house," where he is introduced to a fictitious Regent and a fictitious Madame Parabite, and is finally discovered by his wife. The music is said to be solid at bottom, but light in form, well written by an artist who knows all the resources of the art and uses them with skill. M. Chaumet has been waiting his turn for twenty-five years, and this work combines much of the form of the classic opera comique and many modern ideas, especially in the orchestration.
68Bruno Oscar Klein.
70BRUNO OSCAR KLEIN sailed for Europe last Saturday. After visiting London and Paris he will proceed to Brussels, where he will spend some weeks with his son. Young Klein, who studied nearly a year with Arno Hifl, lately has been in the hands of Ysaye, and has made great progress. He will remain in Brussels at least a year longer.
