PUCCINI TO WRITE SPANISH OPERA.
SOUSA ON BAND COMMITTEE.
"Joyous Soul" Will Embody a Charming Love
Theme and May Be an Opera Comique—Go-
ing to Spain for Color.
Other Noted Leaders and Musicians' Memorial
Concert.
Giocomo Puccini, who h:\s been in Paris the
past week, in speaking with newspaper men about
his plans for future work, said :
"As soon as 'The Girl of the Golden West' is
launched in Paris I will go to Spain for some
months to collect material for my next opera,
which will be on Spanish life. It will be entitled
'Joyous Soul,' and, as the name implies, will be
much lighter in character than most of my pre-
vious works. Tn fact, it may be a regular opera
comique. The subject I found in a novel of the
same title by the Spanish writer Quintero, but the
poetic and romantic side will be specially developed
in the libretto by Adami."
Signor Puccini declares that he means to treat
this simple story with all .'he freshness of color
at his command without seeking any ultra-modern
effects.
NEW NATIONAL ANTHEM PLEASES.
The need for a new national anthem, so long
felt and so recently voiced by President Taft in a
message to the public schools, has stimulated many
musicians to renew efforts to write one.
Among the most interesting of these recent at-
tempts is one by Alexander Maloof, a young Syrian
resident of New York, to words by Elizabeth Fer-
ber Freid. It is entitled "For Thee, America."
Many musicians have heard this and expressed
the opinion that its stately simplicity, the ease with
which it can be sung by ordinary voices and picked
up even by those who are not musicians make it
fulfil the essential requisites of a national anthem.

OFFERS $1,000 FOR LIBRETTO.
The DeKoven Opera Co. Seeks Another "Robin
Hood" Success.
The management of the De Koven Opera Com-
p ny has announced a prize of $1,000 for the best
libretto of a light opera along the lines of "Robin
Hood." Mr. de Koven believes that a light opera
of this type adequately produced has every chance
of making the same sort of success that is attend-
ing • the revival of "Robin Hood" at the New
Amsterdam now.
Details of the conditidns of the competition will
lie announced later, but it has been decided that
the award of the prize will simply give the De
Koven Opera Company the first option to pro-
duce the piece, subject to the usual royalties and
the right to select the composer.

A despatch to the New York World from Ant-
werp, Belgium, says : '"A musical genius has been
discovered here. Emanuel Durlet. now sixteen
years old, the son of poor parents, entered the
Antwerp Conservatory two years ago and has just
gained, by his piano playing, the first prize, the
highest possible honor. The city is so certain he
is a genius that it will send him t > Godesky, in
Vienna, for finishing touches to his musical edu-
cation. His Brussels teachers consider him ready-
to start immediately on a concert tour of America,
as he desires to do, but the Antwerp municipality
wishes the Vienna instructor's opinion beforehand."
