B03LE ITEMS FOR LOVERS OF THE ART
It lia lieen supposed that the American
public tolerated prnnd opera in German or
Italian chiefly because of the difficulty
commonly accounted an impossibility of
mustering a competent company of English
siMjaking artists. There are those, however,
who Rive more serious reasons for the pro
priety of this foreign-tongued opera, as wit-iii-s
the following item from the Xew York
Zraung Vest :
"Thoe who believe that the salvation of
ojiera in America lies in its being bung in
English will find something to ponder over
in these remarks on 'Manon' in the St. James
Gazette: JIassenet'a pretty opera is now
played in French, greatly to its advantage;
for the poet, the versifier, the word spinner
whatever he ought to be called (Gistel
IHaze, a practiced adapter of foreign operas,
iifed to st j lc himself 'parolier') has not yet
appeared who can with absolute propriety
lit w ords in one language to dramatic music
compo-cd to suit another. Mr. .Joseph Ben
nett s English adaptation of 'Manon' was as
gooa as it comu oo witnout sacrmcing lin
elish.proody to the accents of French or
the accents of French music to English
prosody: but there are whole pages of
"-Manon" where the dialogue is spoken or de
claimed to an orchestral accompaniment in
w hich no moderate compromise between the
divergencies of the two languages is possi
ble. .Mr. Augustus Harris' plan of playing
an opera, whenever possible, in its original
tongue deserves the success it in fact meets
with."
Of course, the best thing is to have our
opera with an original English text and
music naturally breathing the idiom of our
own tongue. Itht the all-conquering Anglo
faxon is not proline in good operas: it is not
unnatural for us who are mere listeners to
desire some way of escape trom between Sir
Arthur SpttM'i s'nlHvnn niw! Mr Silas Cll.lrvli-
dis Pratt. And neither aint-aens nor 5las
cagni seem to be studying for an English
opera just now.
We are left to choose between foreign
operas w ith English translations that do not
exactly lit the music and the same w orks in
their original tongue which docs not at all
fit our ears. So long as the old Italian school
prevailed and opera ex'.sted for the purpose
of -honing oil tut artist's vocal
agility without regard to dramatic
consi-tenc when the voice was handled
Ju-t like any other musical instrument
then neither compo-er nor listener cared a
lot for the words, w hich might just as well
be, and generally w ere, nonsensical plati
tudes when comprehensible at all. Then
the metrical suitability ofbook to score was
nil-important.
But to-day, when new ideas dominate
the operatic stage.when both book and score
are ital and co-ordinate elements In the
means of conveying the dramatic idea
w hen the human voice is xied to sav some
thing itiias become essential that the text
shall be intelligible to the audience. It
n onld be just as proper to perform operas in
Cimmerian darkness as In an unknown
tongue.
It is particularly strange to find so ardent
a Wagncrite as Mr. Finck indorsing an argu
ment subversive of the master's fundamen
tal principles.
A Guide to Musical Form.
There are many good folks at important
concerts who keep their eyes glued on the
descriptive programme book, whenever such
Is provided, as though unable to glean any
thing from music without the help of words.
They may save themselves that trouble in
future by memorizing, once for all, the com
plete guide to musical form quoted by the
Boston Traveller, as follows:
"If you know at once what it is all about,
if it seems to be saying one. two, three, hop,
hop, hop, or one, two, three, bang, bang,
bang, you may conclude at once that youare
listening to something of a very low order,
which it is vonr flntv In ripnifa Wlinn rnn
hear something that sounds as if an assorted
lot of notes had been put into a barrel and
Trere being persistently stirred up, like a
kind of harmonious cruel, you may know it
is a fugue, and safely assume an expression
of profound interest. If the notes appear to
have been dropped by accident and are being
fished tip at irregular intervals, in a sort of
placid or drowned condition. It is likely to be
a nocturne, and nocturnes, you know, are
quite too lovely for anything. If the notes
seem to come in carloads, each load of a dif
ferent kind from the last, aud if the train
seems to be an unusually long time in pass
ing any given point, it will turn out most
likely to oe a symphony; and symphonies
are jnst the grandest things that ever were.
If the notes seem to bo dumped out in
masses, and shoveled vigorously into heaps,
and then blown widely Into the air by ex
plosions of dynamite, that is rhapsody; and
rhapsodies are among the latest things in
music'
Baseball to Cover a Deficit.
The committee of May Festival patron
esses and business men in charge of the
effort to raise the lamented deficit met
yesterday noon in the Pittsburg Library
parlors. While the returns from the supple
mentary concert are not vet complete, it
seems quite sure that over $f00 were realized,
as against $42 SO of expense. In ad
dition several private subscriptions were
placed in the hands of some mem
bers of the committee, in readiness
to pay at once some Jew of the smaller and
more pressing debts. The general proceeds
of this concert and of any further entertain
ment the committee has properly decided
should be distributed pro rata among all
Just debts of the festival, in case the hope
of raising enough to pay all in full should
not be realized.
A special committee, including Messrs. TV".
K. Thompson (Chairman), Charles II. Bead,
O. D. Thompson, John Moorhead, K. D. Tot
ten, H. I Goehring and Charles "VV. Scovel,
were appointed to arrange, if possible, for n
Tale-Pnnceton ball game, to bo given July 1
or 2 at Exposition Park for the Mav Festival
cnuse. It is expected to have Stagg
the famous Tale pitcher, and Young, of
Louisville, Princeton's crack t wirier, besides
the best players of the respective colleges
who can be had in this vicinity. Already
much social interest has been awakened, and
the college spirit seems likely to run high
over the contest if the contemplated ar
rangements for It can be made.
the twenty-first anniversary of his taking
the position of organist and choirmaster at
Trinity Church, Xew York, on Thursday,
June II. A special sorrice was held in the
morning, when Guonod's "Mosse do Or-
Shconists" was given, and in the evening a
inner, nt which 130 took part, was tendered
Mr. Messlter. He was born in Frome, Som
ersetshire, England, in 1S34.
The only Jeromo Hopkins who, by the
way, is a near relative of Bishop Hopkins,,
well remembered in Pittsburg ended his
three years' stay in London recently by giv
ing what he called "A philosophical nnd
humorous piano-leeture-conccrt on the sub
ject of 'Musical Modesty and Kindred Vir
tues.' " Musical Opinion says "Jerome draws
the conclusion that 'a superfluity of modest
is no advantage to great composers. "
Kiso HraiBERT recently wired Manager
Harris his congratulations on "the success
ful revival of Italian opora in London." And
now it turns out that "Lohengrin" leads the
list of tt performances, constituting the first
half of tho season and of which 25 wore de
voted to works by German composers, 16 to
French works and only S to Italian. There
arc onlv two Italian singers in the company,
too. "Itevival of Italian opera" is good!
Rkpltisq to the charge of having ultra
Tentonic tendencies, the Musical Courier
boldly announces this crcdimus: "We be
lieve firmly in the enormous superiority of
Dvorak, tho Bohemian; Tschalkowsky, the
Russian, and Saint-Saens, the Frenchman,
over any living composer of Germany, with
tne possioie exception 01 uranais.- nimfc
would Buelow sav at seeing the third mem
ber of his musical trinity of the ages reduced
to mere possibility in a mere musical trinity
of to-tfay.
Erxfst Vatc Dvck, the Belgian tenor who
has been so successful at Bayreuth, Vienna
and now at London, is only 31 years old.
America stands some chance of hearing him
in his prime, then. Jean dc Rcsko, who is
only ten years older, is said to bo cer
tainly coming over next season. Aiie ex
port tenors we hear are commonly either
crude products with nothing hut a voice or
else voiceless fellows with nothing left but
experience. Alvary may seem an excep
tion, but he was only a crude product when
he came oven the surprise w as in his finding
an artistic refinery at Xew York.
Gexoa shares witli us the best right to
celebrate next year the four hundredth an
niversary of the greatest voyage of discovery
in the world's history. According to the
London Musical Actct, that municipality has
already signed with Baron Franchctti, com
poser of "Asrael," a contract to compose a
lestival opera, entitled "Columbus," as the
appropriate mode of commemoration. The
composer will get 35,000 lire for his work, and
200 OuO lire is allotted by the municipality for
the production of it. Surely America ha
composers at least as gifted as Franchetti,
and one of them would be a much more fit
ting recipient for such a commission. But
we nave no such municipalities over here.

Liberty Bell. I have looked in all the
books we have at home, and asked pa
and ma to tell me something about it,
but they don't remember.
Teacher Oscar Green and Willie
Stowe have their compositions finished.
Johnnie Yes, their father bought,
the Encyclopedia Brittanica, paid
nearly two hundred dollars for it, and
they find everything in it. Pa says he
cannot afford to pay so much for
books.
Teacher Why, my child, your
father can buy the Encyclopedia
Brittanica complete in 30 volumes
from The Henry G. Allen Co., 68
Sixth Avenue, for 45.
Johnnie Well, I shall take my pa to see it, and if it is the real Brit
tanica, I am sure he will buy it for me. Then I will show Oscar Green
and Willie Stowe who is the smartest boy in our class.
