1WASHINGTON AND BALTIMORE.
3WASHINGTON, D. C., June 4, 1906.
5Mrs. M. Landon Reed, the exponent of physical expression, has left Washington for the New Jersey coast where she has been invited to form classes. Spring Lake Beach is her present address. In August she comes to Washington Grove, where a form of entertainment Chautauqua is established, there to lecture and demonstrate her art. At Mountain Lake Park, Md., in Miss Smallwood's school, Washington; in the Olney and Madeira schools, are other points where this valuable subject is to be presented or taught by Mrs. Reed. Meanwhile many people in Washington are awaiting her return to join and form classes. A serious impression was created last season. This work is badly needed by old as well as young. By Mrs. Reed's methods large measure of grace and expressiveness is possible to adults who usually sink into the most objectionable forms of heaviness and sloth. She will speak before the Washington club on November 13, and earlier before the Normal class and other clubs in Baltimore, and will resume work in Washington on October 1. Her name is on four school circulars.
7Dr. Davidson, interested in Chautauquas and summer schools, is secretary for the new university here.
9Closing exercises of the Bristol School consisted of Prize day, Class day, French day, and Commencement proper. During the French exercises, S. Frederick Smith played selections on the piano and was heartily applauded. S. M. Fabian, Frederick Smith, James Wesley White and Margaret Keys, pupils of Miss Eldred, performed between the addresses at the commencement. The school closes in a flourishing condition with bright promises for next year.
11Anton Kaspar and Miss Upracht played the Shakespearian music in connection with the performance of "Twelfth Night" by the seniors of the National Cathedral School. The directors, Misses Bangs and Whiton, go to New York to open a ladies' school next year.
13"The Inheritance Divine," music composed by Harry Rowe Shelley, was sung at St. Andrew's Church on Sunday evening. Mrs. Alfred Atlee Gage was one of the leading soloists.
15Grace L. Cronkhite, a pupil of Moskowski, of Paris, is in Washington. She has been teaching in Potter College, Bowling Green, Ky., where she succeeded Ella Stark as professor of piano.
17During "An Evening With Shakespeare" at the Academy of the Holy Cross here, Bach's first prelude was played by Helen Dillon, Imogen Karns, Susanne Yerby, Marguerite Curtis and Marguerite O'Toole, first and second violins, first and second harps, and cello. "Under the Greenwood Tree" was sung by Katherine Byrne with chorus. "Tell Me Where is Fancy Bred" (by DeKoven) by Louise Brinker; "Blow, Blow Thou Winter Wind," Agnes Downey; "Hark, Hark the Lark" by the vocal class with strings, and "Who is Sylvia?" as a solo were other numbers. Irene Hayward is instructor in dramatics in this school. The annual commencement of the school will take place at the National Theatre on June 7.
19Frank T. Israel, who has the largest subscription business in Washington, and whose place is opposite the Arlington, keeps THE MUSICAL COURIER on hand, and has both back and current numbers.
21Hattie M. Johnson, of St. Louis, pupil of Erick Roth, assisted by Mrs. Duff G. Lewis, violinist, gave a piano recital this week. The program was unusually good.
23Friends of Mary A. Stowell, the Boston pianist in Washington this week, speaks admiringly of her playing recently in the third Hoffmann quartet at Potter Hall in that city. Sinding's piano quintet, op. 5, was the number in which Miss Stowell played. One of her pupils, Ethel Jordan, recently gave a successful piano recital, assisted by G. Yates Kells, basso.
25Mrs. Oscar Gareissen, professor of physical expression at the Somers School, is enlarging her own private classes in this study since the close of that school.
27People remaining in Washington this summer should not fail to take advantage of the resources of the musical department of the Congressional Library. By reading a little there each day, a wonderful fund of knowledge and inspiration may be laid up for winter work. Only try reading more about music. The music library in Washington is one of the best in the world, and is presided over by a scholar, a gentleman, and a friend of music and musicians, O. G. Sonneck. Call and talk with him.
29David S. Melamet, of Baltimore, one of that city's most active and enthusiastic musicians, is also one of the most quiet and modest of men. Aside from his brilliant operatic work in that city, he directs the work of the Musical Art Club. A concert was given by this club last week. Any director may well feel proud of the notices this work received from all the city papers. Also of the size of the audience and the applause given the work. Part second of the concert consisted of parts from Grell's "Mass." From this may be seen the character of the work done. "The King and the Bard," by Hegar; "Oh, Maiden," by Kerker; "Thou Bright, Sunny Earth," by Rheinberger; "Love Finds a Way," by Kremser, and the quartet from "The Meistersinger" were other numbers; also "Sontag auf dem Meer," by Heine, a "prize song," and with which the United Singers of Baltimore will try for the prize at the twenty-first triennial Saengerfest at Newark, July 2. The Musical Art Club, assisted by twenty-two ladies, sang the "Mass." Mrs. Melamet was at the piano. Mr. Melamet conducted.
31Harry M. Smith, basso, of Baltimore, has had exceptional success as teacher, as well as that earned as singer. His pupils' recital given last week showed a large number of vocalists. Some sang in concerted work, some solos and duos. Dr. E. M. Parlett, Stanley G. Erdman, William B. Duncan, Horace Lytton Varian, Edward Morrison, Henry Treide, Elsie Johnson, Hazel Bennett, Louise Weyford, Edith Burton and Norma Koop were among the pupil singers. A ladies' chorus sang Pinsuti's "Out in the Sunshine." Marie Roze Smith, the daughter, herself a capable singer, played the accompaniments. Mr. Smith received many tributes of esteem and affection.
33The Washington College of Music gives a "second annual recital" on June 15, in place of a commencement, this year, as no pupils are graduated who have not finished a full course. No diplomas are given till after three years' study in the college. A special course is being offered to students and teachers from July 2 to September 8. Mr. Wrightson, director, and several of the faculty continue teaching through the summer. S. M. Fabian goes to Vienna, where his pupil, Frank Morris Jones, is studying with Leschetizky. Genevra Johnstone-Bishop will not return to the college next year, as she returns to California. Harold Eisenberg, of Berlin, comes in as violin professor. He will play at a recital on June 15. Mrs. Eli Shelby Hammond, of Tennessee, will teach psycho-physical culture and dramatic art next year. Miss Drew has plans, of which later.
35Col. James C. Frazer, of Morgantown, W. Va., will make the address for the closing exercises of the Washington College of Music, to be held in the Columbia Theatre. This is a prominent and popular citizen of Morgantown, who is to the forefront in all advance movement, a great music lover, charming man, and head of an interesting household.
37The program of the MacReynolds-Koehle Music School on N street is a long and important one, twenty-two numbers being upon it. Several numbers include the performance of more than one pupil. It will be given in St. John's College, on Vermont avenue, June 9. Only pupils of the primary and intermediate departments participate.
39A musicale is given this afternoon at the National Cathedral School as part of the commencement series. President Roosevelt speaks there on Wednesday. His daughter Ethel is one of the students in the seminary.
41Among the Baltimore educational events should be mentioned the pupils' recital of a prosperous vocal teacher, David E. Francis, of West Fayette street. Mr. Francis has had in his studio some fifty of the prominent musicians now in professional life, ranging from vocal professor to organist, choir leader, concert soloist, and heads of musical work in various places. The list is a proud one. His is the Italian method. A lyric male quartet figures among his productions. This combination, with a long list of students, will perform in the coming recital. Good wishes.
43Turin will soon hear "Osanna," a new opera by Zanella.
45Heinrich Zoellner's "The Sunken Bell" was given at Riga recently.
