BT JOSEPH MACQUEEN".
In sparkllne tunefulness, the mem
ory of the concert of tha Portland Sym
phony Orchestra, yesterday afternoon.
In the Public Auditorium, attended by
about 2000 people, will live pleauurably.
Approval waa heard on every hand.
The concert was one in which various
difficulties were surmounted.
At every symphony concert, the mu
sical triumph won are measured prin
cipally by the careful and thorough re
hearsal held beforehand. Yet, although
yesterday s concert was eminently sat
isfactory, at few rehearsal wa It pos
sible to secure a complete attendance
of members, due to the fact that many
or these musicians are now working in
the shipyarda and consequently It is not
possible for certain members of the
brass section at loast, to attend morn
ins; rehearsals in as large numbers as
formerly.
That I why the great musical worth
of yesterday's concert is so remarka
ble. e must remember that these
symphony concerts are as an oasis in
our music life here in Oregon, and they
should ba so treasured.
atasle Brlsjht aad CheerfaL
The programme contained valuable
features, but nothing risky In the line
of new music, because It Is new. was
tried. Instead we met with bright,
cheerful music that has mostly stood
the test.
The symphony Is that old favorite.
Dvorak's ".No. 6. From the New World,"
and American In Its every fiber. Writ
ten by Dvorak while he lived in New
York City, and in the belief that in the
music of the American nesro lay the
cornerstone of American music, the
symphony has long been loved by
American audiences. It Is a question
for debate, though. If lvorak was cor
rect In hi surmise. There are other
sources for music composition - the
American Indian, Indigenous to the
soil, the Pilgrim fathers and others.
Still, the orchestral structure in "No. 6"
a lovely, and Its play on the old song.
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," Is twist
ed and twined like a bouquet of roses,
until Its hearers are filled with pleas
ure and correspondingly grateful. The
rendition waa smooth.
Fan la ad Caasaeaer AVI a a.
Th audience waa quite eager to hear
he overture to the Nicolal opera.
Merry Wives of Windsor." slated to
be presented neat month by the Port
land Opera Association. The music is
uitefuL and delightfully gay, almost
Krenchy or Latin. The number was
played with spirit, with admirable
unanimity of action.
An old favorite was recognised in the
catchy, lovely. harp-like serenade,
"Itococo" (Meyer-Helinund). It Is by
the strlns orchestra, "plssicalo." in
which the violinists pluck the strings
with their fingers Instead of using th
bow. It is a dream of loveliness.
The new "Suite," by a' Portland com
poser. Francis Richter, made a great
hit. and won favor Instantly. It has
three movements, and the two first are
especially meritorious. The last "Danse
Kspagnol" ha lu It the real atmosphere
of joy. It Is marked by tambourine
motif, and Is so full with the spirit o
the dance that very little more of It
would have made the audience beat
time with feet accompaniment. Mr.
Richter played on the piano, the music
allotted by him to the celesta, aud he
played gracefully and well.
C'aadaetor Hhowa Ability.
The much-liked "Intermeno" from
Mascagni's "Intermesxo Cavalleria
was splendidly played by string orches
tra. harp, piano and pipe organ, with
Mr. Richter at the piano and Frederick
W. Goodrich at the pipe organ, and it
was so well received that a repetition
was called for.
A joyous, triumphant rendition was
made of the "Introduction to the third
act of Wagner's "Lohengrin," and
was a pleasure to hear tt.
Carl Lienton conducted with ease, mu
sical finish and fine ability, and Henry
Belt man was a success as concert-
master.
The next symphony concert will be
