30Valiant Be, is built upon a poem by John Bunyan and is a big, broad march tune. There is a baritone solo in the middle, and following it the chorus is developed into a splendid climax, with a sudden pianissimo with retard to close—a most curious and attractive effect.
32The Barnes composition is a five-part chorus a capella. It is contrapuntal in a curious sort of way, the melody being simple and sung mostly by the upper voice, and the moving parts being spread out among the middle voices. It is interesting and ought to be highly effective.

37Cup of Gold, a song by Umberto Sistarelli.—This "cup of gold" is described by Joachim Miller. It is
38The gold that banks not in the town,
39But singing, laughing, freely spills
40Its hoard far up the happy hills.
41Far up, far down, at every turn
42What beggar has not gold to burn!
43This is queer slang to be set to music, yet the composer has made an interesting piece of music of it and a hard piece in the bargain. Its singing will require the skill of a coloratura soprano combined with that of a disease. From the character of part of the music one might imagine the scene as pictured in the mind of the composer played in a Spanish land, perhaps Mexico. However that may be, there is a lot of color in this short song, which is unique in its way.
45Gypsy Kin, A song of wanderlust by Roland Farley.—Wanderlust, which means the desire to roam, is such a universal, human longing that the title of this song should sell a few copies even to those not familiar with the music. We are all lazy, loafing, indolent, wandering gypsies at heart, and anything that promises to bring us an intensification of that mood is likely to be popular. This is one of those things. The poem, by Alice Garwood, has found the mood, and the composer has attained it with equal success.
