A SONG THAT WILL LIVE
Rarely does this department receive a song
for review, possessing so many admirable char-
acteristics as "The Chalice." Although Pietro
Frosini, the composer, is unknown to us, this
work will entitle him to a standing in the world
of contemporaneous music, which is second only
to that occupied by the late Bthelbert Nevin.
Indeed the plaintive style of this deceased genius
seems to have found an echo in "The Chalice."
Those of us—and thank God there are many—
whose eyes fill with unbidden tears at the strains
of "The Rosary" will feel the infinite pathos
which must have permeated this young composer
when he added this gem to the crown of music.
To Edgar Seldon, who is responsible for the
words of "The Chalice," the greatest praise Is
due, for not only is the motif of the composer
faithfully carried out, but he has succeeded in
the most difficult of all tasks, viz.—that of fitting
a praiseworthy poem to music already written,
The writer has no hesitation in saying that
"The Chalice" will pass into the classic music
of this country, possessing as it does all the ele-
ments of sweetness and purity, which are, alas!
rare in latter-day compositions.
"The Chalice," words by Edgar Selden, music
by Pietro Frosini. Published by Maurice Shapiro,
1416 Broadway. Price, 60 cents.

LATEST DITSON PUBLICATIONS.
(Special to The Kevlew.)
Boston, Mass., May 20, 1908.
From the press of the Oliver Ditson Co. come
this week two new volumes in the Ditson Edi-
tion—twelve of Clementi's sonatinas, in an' ana-
lytic edition by Percy Goetschius, and fifteen
studies in style by Giuseppe Concone, edited by
Clemens Schultze and Frederic Emerson Farrar.
Three new numbers are this week added to
the series of part songs—the waltz from "Faust"
and "Ave Maria" for women's voices, and "Up,
and Away" for men's voices.
Following out its determination to make com-
plete the course of study in "The Art of Vocali-
zation," the Oliver Ditson Co. have issued two
more volumes in their preparatory course—for
mezzo-soprano and alto voices. The course will
be completed by the publication, at an early
date, of separate volumes for the tenor, baritone
and bass.
