THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
Bispham, Blass, De Clery, and Gilibert.
The conductors will be Mancinelli and Flon
Lohse.
Two new operas will be produced, Lalo's
"Roi d'Ys," in which Suzanne Adams, Mile.
Breval and MM. Saleza and Plancon will
appear,and Dr. Stanford's new opera,"Much
Ado About Nothing," the libretto of which
was written by Julian Sturges. In this Bre-
ma will take the part of Beatrice and Su-
zanne Adams will sing Hero. David Bisp-
ham will be the Benedick. Ivor Foster will
sing Dom Pedro and Pol Plancon the Friar.
The American singer, Blass, will sing Dog-
berry. The opera will be sung in English.
Calve, by her own wish, adds to her reper-
toire the part of Messalinein De Lara's opera.
Mme. PZames will sing A'ida for the first time
at Covent Garden. "Hansel and Gretel"
may be revived, and Verdi's "Otello" with
Signor Tamagno is promised.
REMtWLETS.
DADEREWSKI has suffered the loss of
his only son, who was an invalid from
birth. The great Polish pianist mourns his
loss bitterly, and will go into retirement for a
year.
Aus dcr Ohe sailed for Europe after re-
ceiving news of the severe illness of her
sister. She was attended by Mathilde Aus
der Ohe, her sister, who always accompanies
her.
Owing to the ill health of Mme. Sembrich,
the operatic tour under Clarence Graff has
had to be abandoned. Scare heads are only
too willing to state that she has lost her voice
and will never sing again ; but with such a
method as Sembrich uses there is little dan-
ger that this is the case. She may be tem-
porarily disabled, but that she will never de-
light and instruct enormous audiences again,
we will not believe. Not any more than we
feared for Jean De Reszke during his Lon-
don experience.
The Leipsic Philharmonic Orchestra met
with financial disaster, and canceled engage-
ments after finishing the Atlanta concert.
Nothing else could possibly have been ex-
pected, for the organization was one that en-
tailed enormous expense, and they ran into
ill luck with blame to no one except lack of
interest and support on the part of the people.
They were offered return engagements in al-
most every place where they appeared.
Harold Bauer sailed for Europe March 5.
Dohnanyi' sailed April 2, and each day the
ranks of our musical visitors will grow small-
er. Some will leave a lasting memory, oth-
ers will go without leaving the same vacancy
that is left after drawing your hand out of a
pail of water.
O Tempora! O Mores ! The Metropolitan
Opera House is to be turned into a vaude-
ville house when opera is not there.
Zelie De Lussan has been engaged to appear
there. Comment is unnecessary, for we
doubt the truth of the story.
Villiers Stanford's new opera will be nota-
ble for more than one novelty; not least, in-
deed, Planc,on's first attempt at singing Eng-
lish text. The opera is founded upon
Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing."
Mancinelli will conduct when it will be given
its initial production at Covent Garden.
Friends of Putnam Griswold, a young bari-
tone of San Francisco, will be pleased to
know of his appearance in this opera in such
company as Suzanne Adams, Marie Brema,
Bispham, Plangon and Blass. Others in the
cast are: Ivor Foster, Mercier and Coates.
The annual "Feis-Ceoli Agus Seanachas,"
or festival of Irish music, given by the Gaelic
Society, will take place at Lenox Lyceum on
April 9, under the patronage of prominent
Irish-Americans. The Hon. William Mc-
Adoo, ex-Assistant Secretary of the Navy,
will preside, and deliver an address on "Irish
Ideals and the Gaelic Revival." The pro-
gram has been arranged from the works
of the best of the old Irish bards, and will
enjoy the services of a quartet of eminent
soloists with John Cheshire at the harp.
Let no thoughtless soul say a woman's
abilities for money making are limited, in
the presence of Lillian Nordica, unless it
fears not to meet with a derisive smile, for
that fair singer, who will soon carry away a
few of United States eagle-embossed silver
pieces, has acquired $40,000 up to date this
season, and is adding to that sum at a rate
to drive a plodding quilldriver into hopeless
envy. Truly, devotion to art is not as chi-
merical as it seems.
HENSCHELS STABAT MATER.
EORG HENSCHEL directed his Stabat
Mater at Symphony Hall, Boston, last
week. The performance was given by a
chorus composed of the Cecilia Society, an
orchestra of players from the Boston Sym-
phony, under Franz Kneisel, B. L. Whelpley,
organist, and Mrs. Henschel, Miss Ed-
munds, Leo Lieberman and Charles W.
Clark, soloists. Other compositions of Hen-
schel's given at the same concert were a
Morning Hymn for chorus and orchestra,
and a cycle of romances for vocal quartet
with piano accompaniment. The last reci-
tal in New York by Mr. and Mrs. Henschel
occurs to-day at Mendelssohn Hall.
SIR JOHN STAINER DEAD.
London, April 1.—Sir John Stainer, vice-
president of the Royal College of Organists,
formerly professor of music at Oxford Uni-
versity, organist at St. Paul's Cathedral, Lon-
don, and the author of numerous publications
on church music, died at Verona, Italy, Mon-
day last. He was born in 1840. Stainer,
was the composer of "The Crucifixion" and
of other church music. He also published a
number of educational works on harmony,
composition, organ playing and similar sub-
jects.
nnE. EDWARDS.
HE noted Boston teacher, Mme. Edwards,
has had the busiest season in her exper-
ience. She has a large waiting list, and is
teaching every available hour. This summer
she will go to Europe, and with her will go
three or four of her pupils, who will continue
their studies under her while enjoying the
benefits of Paris, and what it has to offer the
student. Mme. Edwards herself, is a pupil
of that most valuable master of singing, Delle
13
Sedie, and she may well be proud to show
him her excellent work in furthering his prin-
ciples. She will also make her selections of
music for the coming season.
;
CARNEGIE AS ilUSICIAN.
A NDREW CARNEGIE, according to all
accounts, accepted the presidency of the
NewYork'Philharmonic Society, and in doing
so he said before starting on his trip abroad
that he considered it the greatest honor ever
conferred upon him. It will not be known
definitely for some time just what the new
president will do with the new office. It is
known, however, that he is an ardent ad-
mirer and personal friend of the present di-
rector, Emil Paur.
It is expected that the number of concerts
of the Philharmonic Society will be increased
by Mr. Carnegie from eight to twenty-four,
thus enabling the patrons to have a genuine
musical season of their own, in the same man-
ner that Boston has. That New York is
"music hungry" is proved by the fact that
she annually opens her doors to various visit-
ing orchestras of various degrees of excel-
lence and the reverse. The Philharmonic
Society, it is also said, should visit Pittsburg,
Boston and other places just as the orches-
tras of those cities visit New York.
Since Mr. Paur accepted the directorship
of the Philharmonic Society he has recreated
it. Mr. Carnegie's idea of his duties as pres-
ident means much to New York. The com-
bination of Andrew Carnegie as president
and Emil Paur as director has a force, sig-
nificance and purpose which justify New
York in expecting unusual achievements,
and it is a combination unexcelled, perhaps
unequalled.
v\ oriAN IN n u s c .
A N enormous concert was given in Balti-
more March 14, for the benefit of the
United Women of Maryland. The program
was made to show the progress of creative
power of woman in music, and was given
by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra under
direction of Ross Jungnickel, assisted by the
following soloists : Miss Sara Anderson, Miss
Grace Preston, Leo Lieberman, Jos. Baern-
stein, singers, and Leopold Winkler pianist.
Winkler who played the Chaminade "Con-
cert-Stuck" with orchestra, met with great
enthusiasm from audience and press for his
very finished and delightful presentation of
this work.
The program is herewith reproduced be-
cause of its value to those who may desire
to give a like instructive and interesting en-
tertainment. All the accompaniments were
