fir lv r i' i i n r If I 9 r ft THE CRITIC TALKS TO MUSIC LOVERS Weekly Comment on Things . Musical in Discriminat 'ing Philadelphia ALBTTCtt received by the Uvenimci I'ublio LEuar.it, evidently written by a mualclnn of tnsto and discrimina tion, although unslirncd, calls attention to what la termed "a lack of molody" In most modern uorke. it Is undoubtedly true that, judged by the musical stand ards of one hundred years ago, our modem muslo lacks tnclody ns It was understood then; but It must ba borno In mind that of oil tho elements that Ro to make up mUBtc, melody Is the mo$t susceptible to change, according to tho manner and fashion of the times. For example, many of tho melodies of Haen i del, especially In tho Instrumental works, ore so formal and so exactly In accord with tho atrlct stjlo 6f composi tion then In oguo that now they sound decidedly old-fashioned, to put It mildly. Tlin samo a true, but In a less degree, of tho Instrumental compositions of Sebastian Bach, 'but does not apply nearly so much to tho vocal works of either composer. Thin may bo because Instrumental standards hao changed In many ways, especially In tho general deveI6pment of a higher technique both of execution and expression, while those of the volco have not undergone such radical changes. It Is true that somo of Bach's Instru mental works, such as tho fugues for or gan tho six sonatas for violin alone and the six sonatas for cello alone, still .demand the full modern technical equip ment In splto of Its advancement, but there were probably few Instrumental ists of Bach's day who were capable of playing them, while today there nro many. Tho -ocal parts of his works, however, seem to bo about as difficult to singers now as they were to those of the earlier period. This technical diffi culty appears In very few of the instru mental works of Haendel, whloh are now almost obsolete, but his ocal parts are still not easy to sing. IT 13 doubtless due. In a large measure, to tho changes In tho style of melody that have caused the works of many of the older composers to bo largely for gotten. Beethoven wai considered by many supposedly good Judges of his day to be deficient In melodlo Inven tion, a Judgment which has been em phatically reersed by later genera tions, for there are many of the Bee thoven melodies that show strong signs of remaining with us for a long time to come. Of the later great composers, Brahms, notably In his Instrumental composi tions, Is now adjudged to hao been ono of the finest of melodists, and et tho charge was made against him not more than twenty years ago that "he couldn't v,rlto a melody." The fact Is, all tho great composers must necessarily have a fund of melody, but they must write theg.ln their own Idiom, and that Idiom, not being easily understood by the gen eral musical public of their own day, the composer Is termed unmelodlous The really great composer Is the one who, In lils works, forecaots tho direc tion In which tho melodic and harmonic taito of the people 13 tending. Ho it may be after all that our mod tin extremists are writing Imperishable melodies, but It must be confessed that , It does not often bound as if they were If such Is the case, howeer, when the) are so acclaimed, the melodies of Beethoven, Wagner and Brahms will he sent to the musical scrap heap as , effectually as are today tho melodies of Oilando dl Lassus or Joaquin des Pres IT IS in the apparent worthlessness of the melodlo thematic material that tho weakness of our modern extremists seems to lie This does not necessarily mean clarity of melody, for a theme ran be too beautiful or rather too per fect to admit of an effective develop ment But It does mean that a theme should gle expression to some definite sentiment and that it should not be eo chaotic as to bo utterly meaningless ex en after several hearings Program music Is doubtless respon sible for much of the -vagueness of mod ern melody, for when It first camo Into fashion the program provided a crutch upon which the muslo might lean. The program seeks, by the use of words, to clarify musical Ideas, which thu com r poser, by UBlng. It, tacitly admits he could not make clear In tones alone. Much of It needs this crutch and some of It needs een two crutches. QPEAKING of modern music, here Is t)5 on Interesting letter received this week: IMItor TJvenlnpr Public Ledger- Sir I was much Interested In your criticism of Leo Ornsteln's songs a few days ago, as I was at the loii cert and heard them. I would like to ask you If. In the accompaniment of the song "The Nightingale" Mr. Ornsteln uses the notes actually sung by the bird or not. ' INQUIRER Wo do not know lust how closely to the actual melody of the nightingale Mr. Ornsteln adhered In his accompaniment, but we are safe In Haying that any nlghtlnsale which can sing In consecu the fifths and fourths and has such an astounding knowledge of gllssando both Ascending arid descending, Is Indeed a fowl of parts. In all probability, Mr. Ornsteln did not use the actual notes of the song of tho nightingale In develop ing his accompaniment, but merely wrote the blrdliko part in 'the piano as a sug gestion to the hearers, and In this It must be admitted that he succeeded. YOUNO women with grand opera aspirations should take heart from the development of tho present season. For tho unerring eye, or shall we say, car, of General Manager GattNCasazza, n the Metropolitan Opera Company, has, not once, but twice, located future prime donno In more lowly musical cir cles and he lins brought them forth to enter bin great company. The first of these Is Rosa Ponselle, who graduated tn nn amarlng short tlmo from the vaudeville stage to that oft the Metropolitan Opera. The second Is I Margaret Romalne. who, almost In one hound, left light opera and landed In ' tho Met. Mlsi rtomalna Is tho sister of Hazel Dawn, tho well-known mole star, and at her debut one New York critic said that If she bears out the promise of her first appearance, Harel Dawn will coon be know n as "the sister of Margaret Romalne."

MAUDE ADDED HIS BIT TO BRITAIN'S EFFORT Honored by King George for His Lectures in Behalf of War Cause In his new comedy, "T1k Saving Grate," from the pen of C. Haddon Chambers, Cyril Ma,ude will nppear at tho Broad Street Theatre Monday night as a good-humored, Irresponsible, happj-eo-luclty ex-offlcer of the British army, whose one! serious thought Is to return to the service, from which he Is de barred on account of his ase. There Is a shade ot similarity between the actor's own experience and that of the charac ter In the play, for Maude would have been a soldier had not the circumstance of Ill-health In his youth prevented him from entering upon a military career. IIo comes of a family of soldiers, his father having been General Maude and his uncle an officer who won tho X. C. In India Indeed, xp fewer than four of Maude's Immediate relations have won that coveted decoration. Major Gen eral Sir Francis Maude, who commanded tho British operations In Mesopotamia, was a cousin of the actor. Cjril Maude was educated at Cam bridge University and It was his Inten tion to enter the army upon his gradu ation. But his health at the time of his graduation was so delicate that he was unable to enter the service and took up Instead the study of the dramatic art under the tutelage of Charles Cart wright and Ilonia LaThlere, In London, Continued Ill-health Interrupted his training and he was sent bv his physi cian to Colorado. There he regained his strength rapidly and presently Joined Daniel Bandmann's company, with which organization ho made Ills first appear ance at Denver In 1884 Since the war began Cyril Maude has done splendid service b,y lecturing on behalf ot the British cause He has madejnany addresses In cities ard towns of the United States and Australia on the subject' of the work done by British women In tho war. Ills patriotism has not been unappre ciated, for King George han mado sev eral gifts to him, among them a gold cigar case with the King's monogram surmounted by a crown In diamonds, and receptions and banquetB were ten dered in his honor by the Lord Map-- urs ut oyuue) uiiu luetuoutjie, THE KVISn-rOPUbAR MESSIAH WILT.
