A $10,000 prize is offered to composers who are
citizens of the United States, for an American
Grand Opera for 1915 by the National Federation
of Musical Clubs. This prize is made possible by
the generous actions of the citizens of Los An-
geles, Cal., who not only raise money for the
prize but promise a production of the opera in
1915 with American artists of international repu-
tation, the first presentation of the prize to take
place at the biennial convention of the National
Federation of Musical Clubs, to be held in Los
Angeles in 1915, during the Panama-Pacific Ex-
position.
The plan is to make this prize opera and its
production a permanent institution, to be carried
out every four years, beginning in 1915, Los An-

AN INTERESTING VOLUME
Is That Just Issued by the Oliver Ditson Qo.
as. an Addition to the Musicians' Library,
"Sixty Patriotic Songs of All Nations" is the
title of an exceedingly interesting addition to the
Musician's Library issued by the Oliver Ditson
Co., Boston, Mass. It is edited by Granville Ban.
tuck, and contains familiar songs of practically all
the nations of the world, with a very interestingly
written introductory. In these songs the atmos-
pheres of the various countries have been pre-
served by sympathetic accompaniments. Excel-
lent English translations have been provided, while
the descriptive notes for each song are not the
least interesting feaCure of the volume, which
should have a tremendous vogue in a country as
cosmopolitan as ours.
CYCLE OF NURSERY RHYMES.
A Novel Publication by Boosey & Co.—Some
Ballads of Unusual Excellence.
Under the title of "Playtime," Boosey & Co.,
New York and London, has issued a cycle of
nursery rhymes set to music by Haydn Wood.
This is a most interesting and novel contribution.
It is obviously designed for grownups and admir-
ably suited for use in children's concerts. The
scoring is most effective, but somewhat difficult.
It is a cycle, however, that should be popular.
The latest list of Boosey publications contains
many numbers of unusual excellence. That fas-
cinating song, "The Fairie Pipers" (Weatherly-
Brewer), which was sung by Clara Butt during
her recent concert tour of the United States, and
•Charles Marshall's "Child's Song" and the "Sea
Gipsy" by Hamilton Harty, both of which are
being sung by John McCormack, the famous tenor.
Other publications of Boosey & Co. are: "Under
the Greenwood Tree," words by Shakespeare,
music by Liza Lehman; "The Lamp of Paradise,"
words by P. J. O'Reilly, music by W. H. Squire;
"I Looked Into Your Heart," words by Edward
Teschemacher 1 , music by Gefald F. Kahn; "A
Song of the Wind," words by Winnaretta Singer,
music by Alma Goetz; "An Odd Song," words and
music by E. Douglas Tayler; "Thou Art Risen,
My Beloved," words by Marguerite Radclyf ee-Hall,.
music by S. Coleridge-Taylor; "The Awakening,"
words by E. Teschemacher, music by Eric Coates.

HELPING AMERICA'S MUSIC.
Teresa Carreno, who is a great favorite in
Europe as in America, is doing good work for the
cause of American music by including in the pro-
grams of her present concert tour, which takes
her to all the larger and many of the smaller
European towns, a set of MacDowell piano pieces,
which she plays in a manner to spread the renown
of a composer whose claims to universal popu-
larity are undisputed in his native land.
The Theodore Morse Music Publishing Co., now
located at 1357 Broadway, will move on April 1
to new and much larger quarters at 143-145 West
40th street.
