The excellent custom of preparing special
ly elaborate programmes for the great
church lestiTals brings to the front at this
time the large body of choir singers and or-pauist-,
whose constant and zealous work
dots not usually receive the public acknowl
edgment reallv due to so valuable a factor
in the musical life of the community.
We often think of what the church owes
to musical art, ior supplying in public wor
ship the invaluable element that can best
soften the heart, uplift the soul and prepare
the soil for the good seed there sought to be
Implanted. Perhaps we do not think as
much as we should of what music owes to
the church.
To say nothinc of the priceless treaures of
Mcred music which the church has called
into being bv furnishing to the composer in
sniration and a market: to pass over the
bounding and maintaining of schools and
other means of encouraging musical educa
tion, that we owe to ecclesiastical influence;
not to mention that church buildings
Mipplied the place of concert halls tor
ohnral and other high-class concerts
tiiroUih the early davs of our Ameri
can cities and still continue to do
f o to a considerable extent: not to tarry over
these more general and past considerations,
we caunot fail to see that the cause of music
in our own city owes much to the churches,
if for nothing" else, for the fact that they
bold out to a great host of possible singers
and organists the incentive aud the oppor
tunity to acquire some knowledge of, and
practical facility in, what may here with
more than usu.ii appropriateness be termed
the "Art Divine."
Our churches in their stated services and
I'ccshional social or charitable entertain
ments afford a much greater volume of op
portunity for musical activity and actually
enlist mauv more performers, than all the
other public or private concerts, recitals
and musicales put t pettier. More inonev,
too, is earned by our singers and solo
players ironi these church activities than
lrom all their other appearances combined.
It is quite true that mucn ot the so-called
music current in church affairs i upon a
Tery low artistic plane; some of it "Gos
pel Hymns," for instance mav be posi
tively evil in its influence. But the bottom
rung of the ladder is the first step toward
the top, and the general upward tendency
of church music in Pittsburg has never been
so noticeable as now.
In the local columns this morning will be
found a notice of the special features
f the Christmas programmes, which lend a
certain timeliness to these remarks upon a
department of modest musical work that
icaliy forms the indispensable underpinning
to the more ambitious activities of our musi
cal community.
The l'liilharmonic Club Concert.
The concert given by the Hew York Phil
harmonic Club, in the Star course at Car
negie Hall, Allegheny, last Tuesday even
' lug, was attended by an audience of con
siderable size. There was still room, how
ever, for a hundred or more of the pupils for
whom half rates are offered in this course
and for whom so good a concert as that of
Tuesday would have had no little educa
tional value.
The programme began with two move
ments of a sextet (Op. 79) composed by
Jadassohn specially for this club; the noc
mrn was melodious and fluent in style,
u.tuout showing any great originality in
in.ieri.il. With Schumann's "Traeumerei"
w.is bracketed a character piece by Frederic
Conen (misnamed Corven) entitled
"IEspagaole," a very quaint and
dainty bit of composition, rather
Mauresque in color. Schubert's beau
tifullv tuneful quintet. Op. 114,
for piano, violin, 'cello and bass, with its
pellucid form and spontaneous flow of mel
ody opened well the second part of the pro
gramme, which closed with Godard's
"Danse des Bohemiens." another fine bit of
character work, full of wild Magyar rhythms
ami melodic intervals and most effectively
worked up to a startling climax. Such a
selection does credit to this club and singles
it out from the general run of pretended
chamber-music organizations on the road.
Nor was the ensemble playing of the club
at all nnworthv of the music. There were
admirable purity and balance ot tone, ex
ceptional finish and much intelligence in
all the interpretations. Mr. Rich
ard Arnold played Wieniawski's
s cond Polonaise in a musicianly stvle,
which quite outweighed the few
technical slip, and earned him
a heaity encore. The encore fiend started
in with the first soloist Mr. Charles Hem
man, who played on the violoncello with
pure taste and style the Reverie by Bot
tesini, who used to play it himself on the
contra-bass. Each succeeding solo number
had to be repeated. Mr. Eugene Werner,
the flautist, gave a broad rendering of the
adajio from the Sonata in B flit, written by
liarh tor Frederick the Great. Miss Marion
S. Weed, the contralto, accompanying the
Philharmonics on this tour, sang the thrill
ing aria from Slint-Saens' opera,
"Samson et Dalila," now being performed
in Paris with such success. Miss Weed's
Toice is one of exceptional richness, volume
an evenness; she sang with much taste and
intelligence, too, but she lacked the re
quisite emotional intensity for this aria.
Her encore ballads were simple and effect
ively sung.
A Young ritUburger's Success.
Tne recital given at Chickering Hall,
Boston, last Tuesday evening, by Mr.
Ethelbert Nevin, assisted by Mrs. Walter C.
Wyman. had a financial success quite ex
traordinary for that surfeited music center,
and better still scored an exceptional ar
tistic success. This is part of what Boston's
best critic, Mr. Phillip Hale, says in a
signed review about the Pittsburg pianist
and composer:
The two pieces by Grieg were charmingly
rilajed, as was the Chopin mazurka, and in
music of this class Mr. Novm is without a rival
among the jouDger pianists of the city. His
plating is so sympathetic, so fall of sensuous
charm: and if these qualities are missed the
pianist has mistaken bis calling, for tbey
cannot be replaced by brilliancy of technique
t that vague and mjstenous quality called
"intellectuality."
The sonirs of Mr. Nevm show again the emo
tional nature of the man. Tbey are simple,
tliey tell their story in a few notes, they are
written nub a knowledge of the voice, they
are never overweigbted in the accompaniment.
Mr. Kevin has that first and indispensable
qualification of the song writer the gitt of
melodj. And, more than that, he has the even
rarer gift of individuality. His cones then are.
first of all, songs, not duets for piano and voice;
and his soogs are his own, not merely echoes
and imitations. Nor is his range of emotions a
limited one. He can sing of love, with its joys
and raptures: be can touch a note or deepest
pathos, .fi in ".Little Boy Blue." And here it
must be said that in Mrs. Wyman be bad a
most sympathetic interpreter.
Rubinstein's Resignation.
Rubinstein's mucb-talked-of resignation
has been attributed to opposition against
him upon the various grounds of his being an
"old fogy," a composer of German
tendency and a man of Jewish descent
The true reaon is probably that he wants to
retire from all public activity, except con
aucting his own compositions. The follow
ing paragraph lrom Mr. Krehbiel, in the
New York TVtoune, is apropos:
' The most Interesting hit of musical intelli
couce which came" from Enrone last week was
that concerning Rubinstein's resignation of
the directorship of the St. Petersburg Conserv
tory. The news caused no astonishment among
the great musician's friends or the close stu
dent of musical affairs abroad. It has been
known for some timo that he was dis
satisfied, and bis contemplated resig
nation' was mooted even while bis
native country was doirnr him honor on his
jubileo in November. 18S9. It is the second
lime that Kubln-tein haslalddown the irksome
duties of that office. He was the leading snint
in the foundation of the Conservatory in 1S62.
and was its first director. Five years later be
?inarrelcd with some of bis associates in the
acuity and resumed. In bis autobiography,
dictated to a stenographer on the occa
sion of the jubilee, he mentions the
circumstance, confesses that the disagree
ment was partly caused by bis own hasty
temper, but ventures no further explanation.
In lbS7 be resumed the directorship of the Con
servatory, which, under Zaremba. Assam
chewskl and Davidoff bad made considerable
progress, and immediately began to labor for
its greater advancement. He revised its con
stitution and strove to enlist the aid of the
Russian Musical Society (which, we believe,
er.jojs Imperial patronage) in behalf of native
composers."
The National Conservatory In Congress.
Mrs. Jeannette M. Thurber writes to The
Dispatch that the semi-annual entrance
examinations of the National Conservatory
of Music of America will take place as fol

The National Conservatory with its
steadily growing list of really emi
nent instructors, its broad plans forniusical
prosress aud its offer of free training to
worthy applicants, is already one of the
most hopeful signs of the musical times. It
bids fair now to widen its scope of useful
ness through the plan outlined in the fol
lowing Washington news item, reprinted in
the musical papers under date of Decem
bers: A bill was introduced in the House to-day for
the incorporation of the National Conservatory
or Music of America. Amongits incorporators
are: Jeannette M.Thnrber. William G. Choate,
Cbauncey M. Uepew, Abram S. Hewitt and
Frank R. Lawrence, of the State of New York;
William Pinkney Whyte and Enoch Pratt of
Marvlanrt: William u. rayne ana jruz nucn
Lee,of Virginia, and Olive Risley Sewaru.John
Hay. S. P. Landley. Anthony Pollock, C. R. P.
Rodgers and John M. Scliofield, of the Dis
trict of Columbia. Mrs. lhurber, the founder
of the National Conservatory of Music In New
York, in speaking of the objects of the bill,
said to a reporter: "No subsidy will be asked
from Congress. Resources will be drawn from
endowments and voluntary subscriptions from
all parts of the countrv. A musical university
will be established in Washington and branches
in each of the capitals or metropolitan cities of
the various States. The present conservatory
in New York will be one of the chain."
Crochets and Quavers.
And now Beethoven is accused of having

Mme. Rosa Sucher has severed her con
nection with ths Hamburg Opera and settled
altogether at Berlin, w here the great artist is
badly wanted, and will, no doubt, be very wel
come. Rheishold Hermann's opera, "Lance
lot," will be produced in Brunswick, Germany,
this winter. Pollini is negotiating for the pro
da 'tion of Hermann's opera "Vineta" at Ham
burg. Hereafter, they say, winners of musical
scholarships at the Academic Francals will not
have to pursue their studies in Italy, but may
go where they choose. "Prix de Roam" will be
the proper term henceforth.
Miss Elizabeth Webster is to be added

It is stated in a German paper that the emi
nent lyric tenor,-Emil Goetze. of Cologne, has
accepted an offer of $33,000 for a series of 50
concerts in America. Goetze would be welcome
as one of that small class of German singers
who really know how to sing.
An item is afloat in the musical press stating
that "Le Prophete" has bten sung in Volapuk
