THE
MME. ETTA EDWARDS' RECITALS.
A S is a well established fact, the recitals of
* * song by the pupils of Mme. Etta Ed-
wards are among the most important musi-
cales given in Boston. Far from a tinge of
the amateur, the singers are delightful exam-
ples of vocal art with individual traits, tem-
peraments and styles, similar but in one thing,
and that is in the admirable tone placing or
rather the vocal technic as taught by Mme.
Edwards, who easily stands among the
greatest teachers in America. To hear her
pupils establishes this fact. For this reason
her musicales are most elaborate, and that
of last Thursday night at Steinert Hall was
a triumph to the energetic teacher and to her
art. With the assistance of Emil Mollenhauer
and orchestra the following very difficult and
imposing program was given :

more has a rich, ringing, dramatic soprano,
and her work shows an artistic finish that
many singers who have been years before the
public might envy. The large audience was
representative of Boston's most cultured and
most critical set, and the reception accorded
the singers must have been significant to
Mme. Edwards that her ambition is not in
vain.
Owing to the size of Mme. Edwards' class
she always gives two recitals, the second of
which occurs to-day at Steinert Hall. The
program will be one of American and Eng-
lish songs, which as a matter of repertory is
well worth publication:

THE ENGLISH NATIONAL ANTHEM COMPOSER.
JV/W. CUMMINGS, a well known English
* * musician, has just issued a volume
which is devoted to tracing the origin of
the British national anthem, "God Save the
King." He claims that Dr. John Bull, who
was born in 1583, and not Lully, is
the composer of the air. This is proved
by the fact that Lully was not born until
five years after the death of Dr. Bull. He
moreover shows that the continental versions
of the air have been stolen from England,
and that the tune belongs without any ques-
tion to that country. The claims of Carey,
Messaus, Anthony Young and Oswald are
also disproved.
ROSSINI'S WIT.
p H I L I P MAQUET gives an instance ot
* Rossini's caustic wit in the Monde Illus-
tre. A few days after Meyerbeer's death a
young musician called on Rossini with a
manuscript and said: "I have composed a
funeral march in honor of Meyerbeer, and
beg of you to give me your sincere opinion
of it." He then played it on the piano and
looked up inquiringly. "Do you really wish
my frank opinion?" asked Rossini; and when
the young man nodded, he said: "Very well,
you shall have it. The result would have
been better if you had died and Meyerbeer
had composed the march."
