FIRST CONCERT OF THE MUSIC
FESTIVAL AN IMMENSE TREAT
Lxigt Andienc Roused to Enthusiasm by Playing of Chicago Symphony
Orchestra and Singing of Portland Choral Society.
BT J. M. Qt ENTIX.
PORTLAND Is to be congratulated on
the Immense musical treat which
fell 6 its lot last night, when a
Urge and enthusiastic audience attended
the opening concert of the annual mu
sical festival givon by the Chicago Sym
phony Orchestra, at the Armory', under
th direction of Adolph Rosenbecker. a-
slsted by the Portland Choral Society of
300 singers.
In every sense of the word, orchestra,
soloists and chorus made good, and the
artistic growth of not only serious, but
popular music here has received an
added Impetus. Those who absented
themselves from the concert have only
themselves to blame. It should be a
public duty for all who have the cause
of the education which is music at heart
to attend. If possible, every one of the
remaining concerts of the series.
William H. Boyer, who has trained the
Portland chorus, deserves commendation
for the marked ability and unwearying
attention he has displayed these past
three months, at rehearsals and in creat
ing enthusiasm among the singers. Mr.
Boyer years ago made his mark In the
presentation of omtorio In the Pacific
Northwest and he has had unusual suc
cess (n training massed voices, but never
did his talents shine with such efful
gence as at this festival. It surely is his
crowning work.
The Armory last night was an Inspir
ing scene. Th tramp of soldier boys had
been settled for the moment, and music
was literally In the a in A big audience
pat waiting for it. But to my mind the
most Impressive sight t all was to
watch the Portland chorus, 300 strong,
seated on a specially constructed plat
form. Many homes In this city, as well
as singing societies and church choirs,
are represented by these singers, includ
ing, as they do. professional musicians.
Row after row of white-gowned young
women represented the soprano and con
tralto sections, while at each end were
massed fbnors and basses. It was a
waiting moment. Then in filed the or
chestra, and when Conductor Rosen
becker appeared he was cordially
greeted, some of the audience no doubt
remembering the musical treat he last
gave with his orchestra in this city on
his last visit here 'way back In 1902.
The overture to Wagner's Tann
hauser was the first selection on the
programme, which turned out to be a
really sensible one. It has unfortunately
been the custom among a certain class
of musicians to expect that a symphony
orchestra programme will consist of mu
sic of such high class that only the ex
clusively musical can understand it.
That is to say. the selections should con
sist of symphonies and symphonies, with
lighter music very grudgingly introduced.
Thank goodness, Theodore Thomas
knocked this pernicious doctrine Into ob
livion when he came into power. He
took his audiences with him and played
something into their lives in such a way
that he was never misunderstood. Dry
rot suffered at his hands, and live. Joy
ous music not selected because of its
difficulty earned generous place on his
programmes.
Now, what I am coming to Is this:
Mr. Rosenbecker was trained by Theo
dore Thomas, and" the art of the great
master lives over again in the pupil.
Tho programme might even be called
a Theodore Thomas programme.
Rosenbecker is an Ideal conductor, and
from he minute ho swung his baton
over his orchestra he had it under his
genial and yet commanding; sway. He
trusts to memory and neither keeps his
eyes glued on h Is music nor do his
eyes watklrr around the audience. He
is there for business and every lead
and every change of tempo Is prompt
ly given.
So it was an unlooked-for musical
pleasure to watch Ms interpretation of
that "Tannhanscr" overture. I am not
going Into the plot of the motif, be
cause at this late day this Is not neces
sary. 1 would rather call attention to
the remarkable, musicianly' manner In
which the theme grew under the direc-
be
ge
God praise.. be
Gott set ge
Hon of Ms baton, and the new mean
ing he gave to the old score. His
finale was gorgeous. A roar of ap
plause greeted the selection, and as an
encore the orchestra played the Ruben
stein melody in F. The Goldmark
numbers were lighter In strength and
will be remembered for the soft, deli
cate study given In tone shadings.
"The Pance of the Sylphs." by Berliz,
was an alluring fairy dream; while the
Hungarian march was played with all
the abandan and reckless wealtn of
color that its score demands.
Now. about the playing of the orches
tra. It is first-class and should please
the most critical. To my mind, the
strings are a source of rmver-endmg
delight, and the half dozen double
basses have tone of remarkably gooti
quality. The brasses are lighter, but
everything is balanced to an artistic
nicety. In ensemble work the artists
play well together and display a fin
ish and f ase that come from long and
Intimate study. I can state without
hesitation that the Chicago Syqipbony
Orchcstra will do well on this tour,
and that as a first-class musical or
ganization it ia as good as any going.
Oh. and the harp! It must not be for
gotten. Its deep throb, throb held the
listener spellbound, and Its player at
will made It speak like the star songs
ters in a colony of skylarks bursting
witii song.
Jan Van Oordt, the solo violinist and
concert moist er. fulfil led all the nice
things said about him in advance. He
is a Hollander and is a young man with
poetic face and marked musical tem
perament. His one violin selection was
Tschaikowsky concerto, ana nis nne.
sympathetic ione and artistic bowing
were recognized with warm applause.
His encore was the Bach air for the G
string. Van Oordt in a great genius
there's no doubt about It from the mar
velous ease with which he overcame tre
mendous difficulties in the way of tech
nique. I would as soon hear Van
Oordt as Kubelik.
Only two vocal soloists appeared last
night, owing to the nature of the se
lected programme. Mrs. tienevieve Clark
Wilson, soprano, and Arthur Middleton,
basso cantante. Mrs. ilson. who is a
native of Galesville, is., studied voice
with the celebrated George Henschel, In
Iondon. England, and has a light, beau
tiful lyric soprano voice. For years she
has been and is considered to be one of th?
foremost American oratorio soloists. A
number of her pupils live in Spokane. Seat
tle and Walla Walla. Wash., end Salt
Lake City, and last December she was
soprano soloist at a rendition of Han
del's "Messiah. at Los Angeles. Cal. Her
compass is two octaves C to high C in
altissimo. Last night she did not have
much to do in the singing line, and it is
hon - i or
ffoJi'. set
yet too early to give a definite opinion
ss to her voice, except to say that it
must b a favorable one.
Mr. Middleton, basso can tan te. made .
great hit and leaped Into Instant favor
with his audience. He had opportunity
to display his voice In a stirring air front
"The Queen of ftficha." introducing "ShJ
Alons Charmeth My Sadness, , and hi
ncore was the- "Toreador Sorrg" frorr?
"Carmen." which was magnificently
sung. His compass ts from low D to
high F. He has a fine presence and! his
sinking suggests youth and strength,
with velety tone.
Now I come to the star event of all
that Is from a home point of view. For
that long-expected Portland chorus made
the biggest kind of a success in the IS
minutes it sang last night. In Interpretat
Ing "Fair Kllen. by Max Pruch. For
quality and intelligent singing It made
many admiring friends. Surely the fine
quality of the contralto section came out
ahead. Iadies of the contralto section,
you especially pleased! The tenors were
strong and vigorous for once, and the
sopranos and basses also came in for
their share of all the good things said
about the chorus.
"Fair Kllen" Is a cantata for soprano
and baritone solqs. chorus and orchestra,
the music being composed by Max Bruch.
Celtic and Teutonic melodies form Its
warp and weft, and the motif Is by turns
wailing, tearful, hopeful, warlike and
thankful for deliverance. So much of the
Scotch spirit Is present in its
music that I instinctively hoped
to hear the "skirl" of the bag
pipes and the 4'hooch' of the clans
men. and to see tartan wave somewhere
near. The story belongs to the Beige of
lucknow, India, during the mutiny of
1S67. when rebellious Sepoys sought to
storm the city and kill British soldiers.
women and children. It was a time of
ruthless bloodshed and "no quarter.
The besieged In Lucknow vainly hoped
for a British army to march to their re
lief, but sn everlasting rain of bullets
from the enemy was the only answer.
Among the women of the gallant band of
defenders was a Highland maid, who one
early morning gave a scream of delight
and cried in her delirium of joy: "Dlnna
ye hear It? The skirl o' the bagpipes.
The Campbells Are OommV For a time
she was assured that she was mistaken,
but she persisted. At length, above the
noise of the fighting could plainly be
heard the "skirl" of the bagpipes,
played only as kilted Highlanders can
play them. And through the enemy tore
the Highlanders of Sir Colin Campbell,
afterward Lord Clyde. Lucknow was
won.
Now, the name of the fair maid who
first heard the approach of the High
landers Is a matter of dispute. In
Scotland some say her name was Kllen
Campbell and others Jessie Brown.
Suffice It to say that Max Bruch Is one
of the believers in the story, and that
his heroine Is "Fair Kllen.' He in
trusts the opening motif to the bari
tone soloist, who sings "May God In
his mercy be good to us now," and the
first vocal notes of the chorus come
from massed tenors and basses 1 In
unison, beginning "Ixird Edward
Spoke." Sopranos and altos carry the
theme, "Fair Kllen leant on a cannon
near. In tartan plaid arrayed," and
Kllen. taken by the soprano, sounds
the declaration that in the distance she
hears "the march, the Campbells com
ing." She also sings a melody that Is
heard with fine effect, several times re
peated, "We come for the sake of our
olden troth." This refers to the blood
oath between members of tho same
Scotch clan, who were bound by blood
ties, and even to the. transfusion of
blood between foster-brothers, to go to
the relief of distressed fellow clansmen,
even though death was the reward.
The battle scene is tempestuously
told by the chorus in the message "And
the volley rang,' the singing sounding
like the crisp crackling of rifle Are.
Faster and faster the motif grows until
the soprano and baritone soloists weave
the first phrase of the duet, "To God
Praise and Honor be Given," the music
in part reading:
giv-
' sen
prte
fete!
giv-
- jyrte -
en?
sail
This is the supreme moment for solo
ists in the cantata and the intensity
was nerve-startling. The music sweeps
on majestically to a German chorale of
thanksgiving, taken up by the roar of
300 voices, with orchestra, and when
soprano and baritone soloists joined the
motif at forte effect the audience
thrilled with appreciation. The high B
natural of the chorus sopranos was
magniticently taken nd the storm of
delighted applause marked a fitting
