MUSIC TRADE
REVIEW
Ditson house has just put out include selected
songs of Tschaikovsky edited by James Huneker,
and a volume of sixty patriotic songs of all nations,
edited by Granville Bantock, wnfch is a compre-
hensive collection of the remarkable songs of the
people. The English translations given with the
original texts are entirely satisfactory, and those
who are lovers of folk song will be especially in-
terested in this collection. "The Interpretation of
Piano Music," by Mary Venable is a most desir-
able book for teachers and students of piano music
and playing. There is a collection of twelve songs
by Claude Debussy, edited by Charles Fonteyn
Manney, which is sure to find many friends. There
are newly published works of Franz Schubert, be-
ing a collection of selected piano compositions
edited by August Spanuth, also twelve short pre-
ludes for the organ by Arthur W. Marchant;
"Folksongs of Eastern Europe," edited by Ralph
Radcliffe Whitehead, and "Creature Songs" (three
of them), by Louise Ayres Garnett. A short can-
tata, "Haakon the Strong," by Gustav Lazarus, has
a flavor of a medieval balladry.
"Christmas Morn," a sacred song, with words
by Julia C. Dorr and music by F. Huntington
Forbes, is one of the holiday numbers of the B.
F. Wood Music Co. which already has found
favor with lovers of Yuletide music. "The Wind-
ing Path" is No. 3 of the "In My Garden" series
of piano music by Otto Barth. Two other instru-
mental pieces just put out by the Wood company
are "Danse Carnavalesque," by Jules Devaux,- and
another by the same composer, an intermezzo,
"Rhodora," both of which are high grade com-
positions and among the best that this composer
has issued in a long time. Business at the Wood
company is all that could be desired. The travel-
ing staff has thus far had a very large season.
Walter Jacobs' two publications, Jacob's Orches-
tra Monthly and The Cadenza, are chock full
lately with good things for the music lover. The
latest editions of these two publicatios show a
wonderful improvement over previous issues, good
as these already have been. Best of all they are
brim full of good advertising and more than once
lately Mr. Jacobs has had to increase their size,
this being especially true of the Orchestra Monthly.
Mr. Jacobs has several new pieces that are to be
put out in a few weeks.
Boston, Mass., Nov. 25, 1912.
Charles Wakefield Cadman's stay in Boston was
made exceptionally pleasant by many persons
prominent in the musical world who were anxious
to entertain this celebrated composer from the
West. While in Boston as the guest of B. M.
Davison of the White-Smith Co. Mr. Cadman was
tendered a reception one evening by the Harvard
Musical Association at its rooms, and many promi-
nent musicians seized the opportunity of meeting
Mr. Cadman, who has now entered upon his South-
ern tour.
Just now the White-Smith Co. is sending out
postal cards advertising a piano cycle on idealized
Indian themes by Mr. Cadman. One side of the
postal bears a facsimile of handwriting telling of
this cycle, which it says "consists of four thor-
oughly characteristic sketches which will no doubt
take their place with Mr. Cadman's other con-
tributions to Indian music literature." The sig-
nature of the White-Smith Co. is at the bottom of
the postal.
Business with the White-Smith Co. continues
large and the Christmas rush has well begun. Two
Christmas operettas, one "Alice in Wonderland,"
have been issued and are in large demand. The
music of this latter one is by H. B. Gaul of Pitts-
burgh, and already it has been given by a large boy
choir in that city under the direction of the com-
poser.
Harvard, Harvard everywhere is what one sees
in the window of C. W. Thompson & Co. at the
corner of Tremont and Park streets. Anticipating
the great Harvard-Yale game, Mr. Thompson
decorated his window with Harvard music, vocal
and instrumental, and one immediately is sur-
prised at the amount of music that has had the
Cambridge college for its theme or inspiration.
There is "O, John Harvard," "Down the Field,"
"Harvard Every Day," "'Harvard Union Waltzes,"
"Up the Street" and many others. Needless to say
that the covers of most of the numbers are more
FOR A REST, WHY NOT?
or less crimson in color.
Helen Rowland, the wise "Bachelor Girl," said
Mr. Thompson is enjoying a large business,
which is likely to keep up right to the end of the that in place of telling tales about men and hus-
season. He has several vocal and instrumental bands, which necessarily were hard luck stories, she
would briefly knock the typical "Dear Old New
pieces that are to be put out at the beginning of
the new year.
