1NATIONAL FEDERATION OF MUSICAL CLUBS.
3OFFICE OF THE PRESS SECRETARY,
4MRS. JOHN OLIVER, 603 POPULAR STREET,
5MEMPHIS, TENN., January 10, 1908.
7The National Federation of Musical Clubs now has ready for distribution a most attractive book containing the proceedings of the fifth biennial meeting of the body held in Memphis, Tenn., in May, 1907. The book also contains the constitution and bylaws and the official directory.
9The Ten o'Clock Musical Club of St. Louis, Mo., is doing excellent work this season. The club is divided into three sections, eight members to the section, and each section must arrange three programs for the season.
11Members of the Amateur Musical Club and the music loving public of Belvidere, Ill., were given the opportunity to hear two artists of ability during the month of December. Miss Balstad, the Norwegian singer, gave a recital early in the month, and the other affair was an organ recital by Grace Curtis. Miss Curtis is a pupil of Harrison Wild, of Chicago, and is an excellent musician.
13The Etude Club, of Davenport, Ia., with a membership of thirty-six, classes its members as active, associate and honorary. The club's plan of work shows great activity. The club meets twice each month for a program. January 9 the program consisted of French music. January 23 there will be a miscellaneous program.
15Mrs. Charles H. Smith, corresponding secretary for the Ladies' Friday Musical, sends interesting reports. Wednesday, December 11, David Bispham gave a recital under the auspices of the club at the Board of Trade Auditorium. A large and representative audience heard the gifted artist. His program was varied and beautiful, and those who heard him were enthusiastic in their applause.
17Probably one of the most attractive programs by the Beethoven Club, of Memphis, was that given on Saturday, January 4, by Marie Greenwood-Guiberson and Martha Trudeau, with Miss Greenwood as accompanist. Both artists are local and their ability is well known to the Memphis public. Every number of the program was greatly appreciated by the large and enthusiastic audience, and both singer and pianist were compelled to respond to encores.

35The Mystery of a Composer.
36PITTSBURGH, Pa., January 10, 1908.
38To The Musical Courier:
39In view of the numerous inquiries that are being received by James Stephen Martin, musical director of the Pittsburgh Male Chorus, and by others connected with the organization as to the name of the composer of the prize composition of "Alexander's Feast," it seems desirable that a public explanation should be made, so that any misapprehensions in regard to the status of this composition may be cleared away.
41In the program of the Pittsburgh Male Chorus for its second concert of last season, given on April 30, 1907, a prize was offered "for the best musical setting for male voices (with or without solos) of the poem entitled 'Alexander's Feast, or The Power of Music,' by John Dryden."
43In response to this fifteen different compositions were submitted in competition, and the board of judges, consisting of Charles Heinroth, city organist at Carnegie Music Hall; Luigi von Kunits, former concertmaster of the Pittsburgh Orchestra, and James Stephen Martin, the director of the club, without consultation and on entirely independent examinations, each selected the same manuscript as being entitled to the prize. This composition is in rehearsal and will be rendered at the first concert of the club, which will be given on Friday evening, January 24, at Carnegie Music Hall, and on the conclusion of the program the envelope containing the name of the composer will be opened, and the name announced from the stage. None of the judges or any officer of the club or any one else has any knowledge at the present time as to the identity of the composer of this work, and could not, if they desired, impart any information on the subject. When the manuscripts were received, accompanied by the name of the composer in a sealed envelope; both the manuscript and the envelope were given a corresponding number, and the custodian of the manuscripts and of these envelopes, Col. Austin Beech, will retain the sealed envelope containing the name of the composer until after the rendition of the composition at the concert as above stated.
45Of the work itself, it may be stated that it has been pronounced by the judges of a high grade of musical excellence, forming a forceful and dramatic setting to this celebrated poem.
47STEPHEN C. MASON, Secretary.
