1Frederick Weld's Bright Prospects.
2Frederick Weld, the baritone, now at Bridgewater, N. H., will open his season at Carnegie Hall, September 27, at one of the festivities connected with the Hudson-Fulton celebration. His next engagement will be at the Worcester (Mass.) Music Festival. His managers have made many bookings for him and more will be made within the coming month. The baritone is a soloist at St. Bartholomew's Protestant Episcopal Church, New York. Mr. Weld was engaged for this position last November after many voices had been tried by the exacting committee.
4Possessing a voice of excellent timbre with an unusual range, Mr. Weld is able to sing oratorio parts of various schools with success and the more he sings before the musical directors the more engagements for him. All realize that Frederick Weld is a conscientious and intelligent interpreter. Some press notices follow:
6Mr. Weld has a manly voice of ample volume and sonority, and he is a well-trained and intelligent singer.—New York Times.
8Frederick Weld delighted the audience by his production of two solo numbers, and the baritone solos in the cycle "Captive Memories." The numbers that fell to his part demonstrated a full, virile voice of an exceedingly soft and musical quality, and one most excellently trained. The tone color is persuasive and winsome.—Hartford Times.
10Frederick Weld, the well-known baritone, sang more than twenty songs, which gave him scope and opportunity to display a surprising technic, a wonderful enunciation, undoubted dramatic force, and an unusual ability to properly sense the moods and tenses of the work he essays.—New Haven Register.
12Frederick Weld bore the major part of the program. "He is no new figure in this city, yet it is to be regretted that he is not heard oftener in works of a commanding and enduring nature. Few baritones have a more clear enunciation, tones so resonant, and so accurate an appreciation of the dramatic and pathetic elements of the works they essay. In balladry he is perfection itself, and possesses a surprising degree of dramatic force with dialectic facility of expression.—New Haven Palladium.
14Frederick Weld sang four of the Scotch folk songs which Beethoven provided with preludes, postludes and ritournellis for piano, violin and violoncello. Mr. Weld sang excellently.—New York Tribune. one of two readings

17Not often does such a singer as Frederick Weld come to Newport. A voice of such sweetness and richness, of a quality which is delightful in soft tones, and yet having a reserve of great dramatic force which was still music and not noise, and withal a personality which added much to the voice—it was something which will be remembered to have heard Mr. Weld.—Newport, R. I., Daily News. one of two readings

20Soon after his arrival in Bridgewater this summer, Mr. Weld was elected director of the Bridgewater Symphony Orchestra. This is a small club, but now with a singer and musician at the head it is destined to grow from a chamber music organization to a real orchestra.

26Dr. Warwick Jordan.
27Dr. Warwick Jordan, of Lewisham, England, formerly professor at the London Guildhall School of Music, died August 29 at Haywards Heath. He was in one of the streets of the town when he suddenly fell on the doorstep of a house, wounded in the head by a revolver shot. The police conveyed him to the house where he had been staying, and he died from his injuries later in the day. Dr. Jordan had undergone a severe attack of asthma while on a visit to Hove. Born at Clifton in 1830, Dr. Jordan was a fellow-chorister of Stainer's at St. Paul's Cathedral. He was organist at St. Paul's, Bunhill-row, London, at the age of sixteen, and subsequently organist and choirmaster of St. Luke's, Holloway. He was honorary organist and choir director of the London Victorian Choral Association. He wrote a great deal of church music, and in Lewisham was associated with many choral and musical societies.
29Albrecht Haenlein.
30The death is announced of Albrecht Haenlein, the Mannheim (Germany) organist and musician, who departed this life there on August 31, aged sixty-seven years. The deceased was a pupil of the Munich Academy of Music and took charge of an organ in Mannheim in 1869, where he has been very active in all musical directions. He was one of the "Five Just Ones," as Richard Wagner called the first five founders of Wagner societies. Early in the Wagner period he announced himself as a pro-Wagnerian.
