Choral Society. under tho direction of Henry Gordon Thunder gave tho first local rendjtlon of Gabriel Picrnc's Children's Crusade," nt the Academy of Music last night. Besides the chorus oMhc society; there was n supplemental chorus of about 300 children's volcei from the Daniel Pas torlus School of Gcrmnntown, admlr nbly trained by T.eroy Lindsay, n chorus of forty girls from the Girls' High School and members of the Phil adelphia Orrhcstrn mode up tho ac comparing body. The frerformnnce of the work was ex cellont'tlifoughout, nlthough there were occasional places where slight devia tions from tlmo on tho pnrt of the chorus scpinpd to indicate n Insufficient number of rehearsals with the orchestra, n very common, but Irrcmcdinblc con dition of choral concerts. The chorus was well trained, had good tone qunllty and was readily nmcnnble to the beat of the conductor. Tho sollsts were 'Elizabeth P. Karlc, Helen Buchnnan llltner, Helm Frame Hcaton, Nicholas Douty and John Van dcr Sloot, all of wliom sang with good qunllty of tone intelligent and sympathy with the work. The spmi-solo parts of the angel voices were taken adequately by .lane Edcl. Alice M. Khonds, Elizabeth B&st and Edna Cook Smith. But It wns in tho children's chorus that the surprlso of tho evening came. Tho music is difficult for trained singers to render, being full of hnrd Intervals nnd not melodic In a diatonic sense, If in any nt all. Tho children's ehnrna snug with u surencss of tone nnd phrns. ing which wns little short of astound ing, whon it Is considered that the music wai necessarily far over their heads, temperamentally nnd intellectually.

It hns no diatonic melodies, the very basis of the best choral work, nml l therefore dim. cult both to sing and to mnko cffcPtiveJ in sptto oi the tragic nature of the story, thcro is little music of n dramatic character in the work, which, on "ac count of being for long spaces of the same character, had more than a sug gestion of monotony In morp places than one. Tho invblved, complex stylo of tho modern French school is not well ndaptcd to tbojnuslcal delineation of so slmplo n story (as that set forth In the argument. At the snmc 1 1 mo there nre spots of great beauty, with some originality in tho orchestration. The finest place in the work is the unaccompanied female chorus in the last part (which was finely sung) and the concluding chorus.
