the piece is very meritorious.
6. A spirited work. Not difficult and yet

7. Mr. White's march is entitled in full " Our

1. Mary C. Preston supplied the words for
this song, which is somewhat reminiscent of
Wallace and Balfe, yet marked by Millard's
original style. It is dedicated to Jane Stuart,
the actress.
2. A dramatic and vigorous song apostroph-
izing the sword. It has depth and character,
and cannot be readily appreciated by tyros. A
work worthy of study.
3. Already a popular song. George Cooper
has supplied the English words.
4. The title suggests the Spanish character of
the song. It tells the beauty of a maid of old
Seville in pretty verse and excellent music.
5. By the same composer as the foregoing.
The words were written by Eugene Field, the
Chicago poet. Mr. Northrup has interpreted
their essence very creditably.
6. This tells an old-fashioned story in an
effective manner. It is a showy and pretent-
ious song, requiring a dramatic instinct in the
singer to do it justice. The words are by Philip
Day son.
7. Silver Chimes, Morcean.

7. Brilliant and musical. It is carefully fin-
gered, and constitutes an excellent study.
8. This has an ambitious title. Boston belles
are not rated second to the belles of any of our
cities. Mr. Goerdeler, however, has given us a
very meritorious composition.
9. Another significant title. A very pretty
piece, easily arranged.
10. A moderately difficult composition, based
upon pleasant and musical themes. Mr. Galla-
her has a good idea of thematic elaboration.
11. An effective piece, very refined in spirit.

1. Tennyson's poem is too profound and
spiritual a work to be consistently set to music.
It transcends the art of the composer, though
apparently simple. Its outward simplicity,
however, is but an expression of its depth. Mr.
Herbert Stanley Cone has written it up very
acceptably.
2. This is a German song which Annie Pixley
sings in capital fashion. George Cooper sup-
plied the English words. It is a pleasant work
in waltz tempo.
3. A quaint and sweet little rustic song. Mr.
L. C. Maxwell wrote the verse.
5. 0, Love Divine.
