sages of Scripture to him. She says
she Is the sister spoken of In The Tri

THE CHARMING SONG CYCLE.
Something About nn Event That 13
Awakening Much Interest.
The Interest evinced In the ptospect
ive performance of the charming Song
Cycle "In a Persian Garden" Is grow
ing dully. All our inuslc-lovinir people,
are anticipating tho event with keen
delight. "Tho Rubolynt" Is being ask
ed for at the library that the text may
become familiar and Inquiries nro be
ing made for the score that tho inuslo
may bo studied. In order that all may
have u clear itndcrstandlg of the work
the following description Is given:
This novel nnd beautiful work was per
formed for tho first time in New iorit
under tho direction of Mr. Victor Harris,
on February 8, IMS, and met with a. suc
cess so strong and complete that before
tho music season of 1S97-!iS was at an end,
it wns recognized as one of tho mot
original, striking and uniformly success
ful musical works ever brought to tho
notice of a metropolitan public.
The work is written in concert fort.i.
that, is, to bo given nn the concert plat- ,
form, without tho need of scenery or ens.
tumes, und Is to bo rendered by ii quar
tette of singers soprano, contralto, tenor
and bass to tho accompaniment of tlie
piano. It consists of twelve numbers,
threo of which aro scored for the quar
tette, one a duo for soprano nnd tenor,
and the remaining eight for (ho different
solo voices. In addition to these uro o.
number of short but beautiful recitative
passages. Tho music Is extremely melo
dious, grateful and effective, and repro
duces in the most lntltnato fashion the
tenderness, tho depth, the philosophy of
that flno old Persian poet of tho Twelfth
century, whoso "dlvino despair" (as Ten
nyson aptly quotes It) has been made
nlivo to the modern wot Id by the trans
lation of Edward Fitzgerald.
At every performance given during last
season, this work, so different from the
usual routine of concerts, brought the
power of Its noblo text and music to
bear upon Its audiences, so that they
were held under its enchantment to the
end, In a spirit fascinated by the beauty
of great thoughts und great expression
of thoughts.
Tho performance of this work occupies
from M to K minutes, nnd It Is generally i
preceded by a short miscellaneous pro
gramme of four or five numbers. The
text of the work should be Included In the
programme, as It adds an element of
great Interest nnd enjoyment.
Following up the success of last year.
Mr. Victor Harris Is prepared to pre-ent
this work In IH original form and with
the following cast of singers: Miss Ethel
Crane, soprano: Miss Marguerite hall,
contralto; Mr. Mackenzie Gordon, tenor;
Dr. Carl Dufft, basso; Mr. Victor Harris,
conductor.
