THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
IN BOSTON.
HE Cecilia society has made elaborate
plans for this season and announces
a series of uncommonly interesting" pro-
grams. "The Promised Land," ^Mas-
senet's most recent oratorio, will be given
if it can be procured. Other announce-
ments are: Cantata, "Departure of Hia-
watha," by Coleridge-Taylor, for chorus,
soloists and orchestra, first time in Amer-
ica; cantata, "Phoenix Expirans," by G.
W. Chadwick, for chorus, soloists, orches-
tra and organ, conducted by the composer;
a rhapsodie by Brahms, for alto voice,
male chorus and orchestra; cantata, "The
Sailor's Christmas," by Chaminade, for
female voices, Hallelujah chorus, from
Beethoven's "Mount of Olives;" "The
Missa Brevis," by Palestrina, entire; a
crucifixns, by Lotti; "The Cherubim
Song," by Tschaikowski; 119th Psalm,
by Cesar Franck, first time in America;
cantata, "Samson and Delilah," Saint-
Saens, with Mme. Schumann-Heink. The
wage-earners' concerts will be continued
as usual.
Mrs. Helen Winslow Potter sang at the
opening concert of the Pullen symphony
at Bangor, Me., and .was cordially received.
Mrs. Potter is the soprano of the First Uni-
tarian Church, Brookline.
Edwin Klahre will give the second of his
series of pianoforte recitals in Steinway
Hall, Thursday, December 6th.
The soloists for the Apollo Club con-
certs this season will be Shannah Gum-
ming, Mme. Jacoby, Maud Powell and
Mme. Charlotte Maconda.
Kittie J. Fish, a pupil of Homer A. Nor-
ris, has written and published two easy
pieces for violin and piano. They are of
genuine merit and unlike most pieces de-
signed for beginners, they have notwith-
standing their simplicity, much dignity to
recommend them. They are written in
form of Waltzes and Berceuse, and are
published by C. W. Thompson & Co.
John Orth of Boston will give five in-
formal musicales at his studio, 146 Boylston
street, on the first Saturday of each month
from November to March. The fourth
entertainment in the faculty course of
the New England Conservatory of Music
was a violin recital, given by Felix Win-
ternitz, assisted by J. Wallace Goodrich.
Both of these gentlemen are excellent mu-
sicians and their work is always valuable
and delightful.
Miss Adah Campbell Hussey, contralto,
has filled a large number of engagements
during the past few weeks. She sang in
Nashua, N. H., and she was immediately
secured for a return engagement. She
also sang Siebel and Martha in "Faust,"
in Providence, given by the Arion Club,
Jules Jordan, director. Dec. 3 she sings
in Phoenix, R. I., for the Cecilia Club,
with Shannah Cummings, soprano, and
Dec. 20 she has an engagement in Boston.
The Apollo Club gave its concert of Nov.
14 in Copley Hall, presenting a miscella-
neous program. One of the numbers was
a part-song by Gericke, "Nun bricht
aus Allen Zweigen." Shannah Cumming
was the soloist. She sang an aria from
T
Spohr's "Faust," and songs by Parker,
Foote and Chadwick.
The concerts that are given in Steinert
Hall this season are so numerous as to
stamp this as a very popular house. Not
alone is the house popular, but the man-
agement, in the hands of R. Newman, is a
boon to all'who come into contact with him,
the singer or teacher they are herewith
produced.
