7CREATORE has come and gone once more. He left behind him in undiminished degree the ever memorable impression of poetic dignity, exquisite refinement, sincere impersonality, and emotion.
9Creatore is sowing a something that is infinitely precious in this country—a something that is far more valuable than grain or gold. He is instilling little by little into the hearts of a commercial and irreverent people that certain something of which they themselves are all unconscious—the still, small voice of the genuine love for, and appreciation of, the beautiful in art. He is making known to the masses the meaning of music language and the delights that come through its appeal, when properly presented. He is training people season by season to regard music as vitalized and possible expression of human feeling. And he is leading them to listen to a wording untainted by personality, unobscured by dullness of vision and illuminated by genius. That the bloom of his rare faculties does not become less through contact with the conditions which are imposed by the peculiar character of his career in this country is a result for which to be devoutly grateful, and is an unmistakable indication of the thoroughbred in his genius.
11The program this time was unusually valuable, even the encores paying tribute to the ideal rather than to the empty and futile.
13Oscar Gareissen, one of the most refined and artistic musical spirits in Washington, and the scope of whose musical experience we all know, is one of the latest additions to the role of Creatore enthusiasts.
15"Never in all my life, in things musical, German, Italian, French, English or American, did I ever experience the revelation which came to me on Sunday evening. All that had been said, all that I have doubtlessly read, all that I have imagined from enthusiastic description, all fell short of the wonder, enjoyment, the unmixed satisfaction of the Creatore music. The whole scope and purport of music has been set forward and upward a cycle, it seems to me. I can think of little else since. That is music, and what musical education it is, too." These are some of Mr. Gareissen's thoughts on the subject.
17Mary A. Cryder and Grace Dyer Knight, Old World students, and advanced artists, are among his devotees. Alys Bentley, director of the public school music here, finds that all her life work, in all directions, and on all subjects, has been uplifted, bettered, made more inspirational, by the Creatore music.
19Georgia Miller, of the Virgil Piano School, shows clearly that the musical and interpretative in her nature have been in no wise quenched by pursuance of proper study under her system, when she says that this is the first time that any music she heard fully met and satisfied her conception of the art as it should be. "It is what all good musicians feel, but which, alas, few can bring out," plaints Ella Stark, in characteristic fashion. "I never knew what poor music I had listened to heretofore, till I heard this here tonight," commented a lady to a group as she left the National on Sunday evening, after hearing Creatore for the first time.
21"There is nothing at all like him," says Joseph Kasper, himself a conductor, and anything but a dead or indifferent one. "Anyone could sing with such accompaniment as that," speaks Mrs. Clarence B. Rhee for the singers. "The astonishing way in which he can punctuate, clear as print, and yet keep the rhythm, and such rhythm inviolate, is something I have never imagined possible," says a composer.
23In a letter from the leading concert bureau in this country, written to a manager in another city, and which I myself have seen, this sentence occurs:
25"The conductor of whom I am writing is a man of unusual gift and equipment, something on the Creatore order, which guarantees in advance a big success for him."
27And so it goes. It all goes to prove the latent, alas, too latent, power of music, and what may be accomplished by it, when played with the intensity, the sincerity, the emotion, and the imagination, which belong, intrinsically, to it.
29Tali Esen Morgan was suggested to bring his woman's orchestra in last week's announcement of his coming to Washington. This must not be taken to imply a lack of orchestral material in Washington; only to say that, in the event of his bringing an outside orchestra here with him, it might be composed of women instead of men. Many musicians, and no doubt Music herself, is sadly wearied by a certain class who smoke during rehearsal, talk, jeer and joke during performance, tip their chairs and examine the audience while solos are being played. make it a point of effort to indicate their ennui and disgust for music in general and their enforced part in it in particular, and otherwise demean themselves unworthy of association with the most beautiful and refined of the arts. Music is not that sort of an art at all, and does not rhyme with jeer or joke, ennui or indifference. It belongs where, by the way Creatore puts it, in the sacredness of the precincts of the beautiful, of art, touching the refined, the reverent, the better side of our much needing bettering natures. If men cannot find it in them to treat her in this way, better stay away. Women, at present at least, convey a different expression in music lines. It is even to be hoped that the future will prove that sculptor right as to the sex of angels.
31Clarence Eddy's autumn circular is in the hands of many Washington admirers. Mr. Eddy would be welcomed in Washington this season. The capital hears too seldom an artist whose folder carries the flattering prestige of four nations and who is a thoroughbred American, one of the most esteemed sons of the music family of the nation. Sydney Lloyd Wrightson might unite his coming with some of the church choir society work proposed for this season, or Otto Torney Simon, or Mr. Kasper.

44Prof. Emile E. Mori is another musician who is qualified to come into a prominent place in the higher departments of music culture. A native of St. Petersburg, he is thoroughly grounded in theory, composition, musical direction in the arrangement and transposition of music, is a basso of repute and a skilled professor of voice. He is known and valued by publishers and musicians. His home and interesting musical family are on Corcoran street, and he is ideally happy in his art, after the fashion of the Old World artist.
