A town on its own line is one of the directory's headings. That is where the town on a maker's page comes from.
1Church of the Advent (with attractive literary evenings), comprise the musical side. E. Russell Sanborn, organist, and Frank Luker, of the Faelten Pianoforte School, will assist in the course.
3The course announced by Julia Terry for the four afternoon concerts in the ballroom at the Somerset, is as follows:
5Monday afternoon, January 27—Piano recital by Katharine Goodson.
6Monday afternoon, February 3—Mrs. Cabot, J. Morse, soprano; Francis Rogers, baritone; Jessie Davis, accompanist.
7Monday afternoon, February 10—Eliot Hubbard, tenor; George Proctor, piano; Carl Wendling, violin; Alfred de Voto, accompanist.
8Monday afternoon, February 17—Song recital by Cecil Fanning, H. B. Turpin, accompanist.
10Richard Buhlig, booked for three recitals, played the following works at his first Boston appearance: Variations and fugue, Brahms-Handel; "Impromptus," op. 90, Nos. 1 and 4, Schubert; sonata, "Appassionata," Beethoven; twelve etudes, op. 25, Chopin. Mr. Buhlig is a serious and honest performer. He will give his next recital Thursday, November 21, and the last on December 5.
12The Castle Square management announces "Lohengrin" for the third week, and it still draws large audiences every evening during the week, besides three matinees. These good operas have done much for Boston's younger set, which needs to familiarize itself with the best works.
14"Rob Roy" will begin next week, well prepared and amply staged. A local paper informs us that in December this enterprising company will be divided into two distinct sections—one for comic the other for heavy opera—each company alternating each week, with the same casts. Madame Noldi will be the soprano for the heavier roles. Mr. Alberti, the baritone, and Mr. Boyle, the bass, Mr. Tallman and Mr. Davies remain the tenors for both sections.
16Manager L. H. Mudgett announces a farewell tour of Vladimir de Pachmann in a series of three recitals to be given at Jordan Hall, on the afternoons of December 2, 7 and 12, which are Monday, Saturday and the following Thursday, respectively. His program for the first recital opens with the sonata, A major, Dominico Scarlatti, taking up Mozart, Weber, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Sgambati, Raff-Henselt, Moszkowski, Tschaikowsky, and then Chopin completing his list with seven compositions, namely:
17Nocturne, op. 27, No. 2, D flat.
18Prelude, op. 28, No. 19, E flat major.
19Prelude, op. 28, No. 16, B flat minor.
20Etude, op. 25, No. 1, A flat major.
21Etude, op. 25, No. 3, F major.
22Mazurka, op. 56, No. 2, C major.
23Grande Valse Brillante, op. 34, No. 1, A flat.
25Arthur Whiting, of New York, announces three informal piano recitals at Aldwych Hall (200 Huntington avenue), on Monday afternoons, November 25, December 16, January 20, to be assisted with a clavichord and harpsichord at the first and third recitals.
27The programs seem interesting. The circular states:
28The object is to present less familiar compositions in such a way that music lovers as well as students may gain a better knowledge of their musical content than is usually possible in hearing occasional concert performances.
29The recitals will be like lessons, in that there will be frequent repetition of important phrases and sections, with suggestions for their interpretation.
31Eben Bailey shows a pronounced versatility in his musical work under his immediate direction. The orchestra in Rowley, Mass., has improved and is becoming more and more familiar with good musical works. At a recent concert for the benefit of a local charity, Mr. and Mrs. Bailey won the warmest praise from all concerned for their faithful work in the orchestra's behalf, and the numbers Mrs. Bailey contributed to the program, which included a couple of attractive orchestral compositions, were written by Eben Bailey.
33Mrs. Robert N. Lister has been engaged as the soprano for the Philharmonic Society, Benjamin Guckenberger, conductor. Robert Lister has arranged to give "Elijah" under the auspices of the Cantabrigia Club (Cambridge), with a large chorus, and Mrs. Lister, soprano, and other artists to be announced. J. D. D. Comey will act as organist.
35George Proctor appeared in Jordan Hall on Monday evening under the auspices of the New England Conservatory of Music, of which he is a member, in Schumann, Chopin, Debussy, Arensky, Chadwick and Liszt numbers. There were many musicians and students present, and Mr. Proctor gave evident pleasure in the couple of Chopin and the Debussy numbers.
37Charles H. Morse, a brother of the voice teacher, Frank E. Morse, was a visitor in the city on Saturday. Mr. Morse, once identified with Wellesley College as musical director in the school's earlier days, and later organist and choirmaster at the Old Plymouth Church, Brooklyn N. Y., is now installed as musical director at Dartmouth College.
39"Patience" will be sung for charity's sake, if benefiting the Radcliffe College Library can be called a charity. There will be three Jordan Hall performances of the operetta and everybody is invited to respond, for the six thousand dollars which the performances of "The Mikado" and "The Pirates of Penzance" given conjointly by Radcliffe and Harvard graduates brought into the treasury, will incite emulation. Mrs. Cabot Morse will sing the Patience part. Marion Hay and her father are also in the cast. There is a long list of prominent patrons.
41Frank E. Morse's pupils are announced for a public recital in Steinert Hall on December 5.
43Richard Platt, pianist and teacher of Steinert Hall, has been engaged to play a program at a Harvard musical club early next week. He has also been engaged for several private musicales, when he will be heard in some highly interesting programs.
45Lucia Gale Barber will be assisted in one of her studio mornings by Katharine Foote, and later by Virginia Listemann, the distinguished violinist's daughter, who has received all of her vocal training abroad.
47The Willimantic Chronicle has this to say of Dorothy Taggart Miller, a professional pupil of Madame Salisbury, of Boston, and who will be the contralto soloist with the Handel and Haydn Society in "The Messiah," at Christmas:
48The soloist at the second of the series of three musicales being given in this city was Mrs. Dorothy Taggart-Miller, of Boston.
49It was the good fortune of a Willimantic audience to again have the opportunity of listening to Mrs. Miller's wonderful contralto voice.
50To attempt to criticize her art would be superfluous; she has attained to almost the highest possible with her talent—a natural gift of a wonderfully rich contralto voice, and in addition to what has been said of her work at previous concerts, it might be fitting to state that she shows improvement each time she visits us.
52Josephine Knight, who will be heard in the Apollo Club on the 20th, offers these songs:
53Bedouin Love Song………………………………………Foote
54Old Flemish Song………………………………………Kremser
55Is John Smith Within?………………………………….Rutember
56Polonaise from Mignon…………………………………Thomas
57The Lass of Norwichtown……………………………….Bullard
58The Little Dustman…………………………………….Brahms
59Come, Sweet Morning………………………………….A. L.
60She will assist in choruses and will sing the soprano obligato in "How Lovely, How Fair."
62Edith Noyes Porter, the youngest of the chief Boston composers, has recently had published "The Legend of the Forest," dedicated to her master, Edward MacDowell, a tone poem for piano and written in her best characteristic vein which is always romantic and interesting.
64Jessie Davis, who has joined the musical ranks in the Pierce Building by having certain studio hours there, all of which are about filled, plays on November 13 at a musicale in the city; on January 22, in the Town Hall, Arlington; on February 3 at Hotel Somerset in one of Miss Terry's series, and on February 10 at a Beacon street residence.
66The Kneisel Quartet with its new personnel, including Roentgen, second violin, and Willeke, cellist, gave its opening concert of this the twenty-third season in Chickering Hall. There was the familiar quartet of Mozart in D minor, Brahms' piano trio, op. 101, and the first of Beethoven's Rasoumoffsky quartet, op. 59, No. 1, Rudolph Ganz playing the piano part with fine and much applauded effort.
68The first concert by the Hoffman Quartet occurs at Potter Hall, November 21. The following is the program:
