GADS K PS POWEK OVER AN AUT3IEW.eE
Her Marvelous Genius 'Enables Her at Will to Bring Tears or Laughter
JOHANNA GADSKI, who -will 'appear
In. concert tomorrow night at the
Marquam, under the direction of Miss
lols Steers. Is the youngest of all the
great -Gorman prima donnas.. Gifted with
-a voice of rare beauty and power to thrill,
she has also the temperament that brings
either laughter or tears from the audience,
as she will It shall be. In this respect
..she approaches more nearly to Madame
Schumann-Helnck, who created such a
furore of excitement in thla city
recently. She holds, indeed, about the
same position toward the general pub
Mic. as a soprano, that Schumunn-Helnck
does as a contralto. Both singers are en
" dewed with tremendous personality, such
as will carry a vast audience off Its feet
with excitement, merely by a droll word,
-mile or gesture, or a tragic intonation
of voice when under the sway of over
whelming emotion.
For this reason certain wise critics who
kep abreast of what is going on in the
world of music, both at home and abroad.
"are now prophesying that Gadski will meet
with the same record-breaking ovation
that marked Schumann-Heinck's triumph
in Portland. Gadski has just reached the
llop notch of her powers. All the fresh
ness of, youth Is hers. She Is a beautiful
(Woman, an unrivalled artist, an actress- of
marvellous power, and the possessor of
-a voice that probably has not Its equal
'on the operatic stage today. In her In
terpretation of the great Wagnerian roles
tehe is held to be the legitimate successor
of Lllll Lemmann, the crowning height of
art that iNordica. and other Wagnerian
sopranos have aimed to reach. No higher
Upraise coulA be given Gadski than this.
At Beyreuth and Munich Gadskl's
matchless Interpretation of such roles as
Isolde in "Tristan und Isolde, the
fCountess, in Mozart's "Marriage of
Figaro." Brunhilde, In "Die Walkuere." or
jElsa In "Lohengrin," arouse the same
fstorm of enthusiasm as in more demon
strative New York.
Gadskl's programme In this city will be
unusually attractive, embracing many of
(her most famous arias, lleder of Bee
.thoven, Schumann, Schubert, Brahms and
Franz. In addition to the favorite songs
of -today, French, English and Anyjrlcan.
She will be accompanied by a pianist of
(more than usual note M. Meyrowitz, a
pupil of Holnecke in Leipzig, and Max
Bruch, In Berlin, who was last season as
sistant conductor at the Metropolitan
JOpera-House, New York.
GREAT VIOLIN TREAT.
iMusIn and Concert Company Tomor
row Evening.
One of the great musical events of a
busy season will bo the appearance of
'Ovide Musln. the king of the world's
violinists, with his concert company, at
the First Baptist Church, tomorrow even
ing, under the direction oX Elmore Bice.
The indications are that the church will
"be crowded, and -early application for
seats at the box office in the Allen &
Gilbort-Ramakcr Company's store. Sixth
and Morrison streets. Is advised.
That a superb, long-to-be-remembered
programme will be rendered goes without
saying. Musln will play among other
numbers the celebrated sonata by Tartinl,
the noted Italian violinist, written In
16SS. "Der Teufel's Trlller" (The Devil's
Trill). This sonata opens with a pas
sionate adagio in G minor, leading up to
an allegro, which taken at a terrific pace
must be played In such a manner that a
continual distinct trill is heard as an
accompaniment to the movement. The
composition throughout is mos weird and
uncanny, hut wondrously beautiful. In a
dream the devil came to Tartlrirs bedside
one night and. picking up the violinist's
instrument, played in such a ravishing
manner that Tartinl awakened. Immedi
ately jumped from -his couch and, seizing
pen, ink and paper, wrote down what he
had heard.
HIS FAREWELL CONCERT.
A. L. Alexander, Guest of Honor,
December 29.
Between Christmas day and New
Year's Is distinctly a holiday time
when one entertains and takes one's
friends around. Often there is diffi
culty in finding: just the right sort of
entertainment to suit all tastes those
of theater, society and church friends.
Take them this year to a farewell con
cert to be given at the First Baptist
Church, Thursday evening, December
29, to mark the departure to Paris,
France, of Arthur L. Alexander, the
well-known Portland tenor, organist
ana accompanist. It's too bad, jusH
Tvnon .foruana people were getting1 to
known Mr. Alexander and claiming
him as one of the city's gifted znusi
l oians, that he should receive this
tempting offer to further pursue his
musical studies in Paris. They have
oven offered him the direction of a
church ohpir, is an additional induce
ment. So, he's going.
This concert is going to be one of
the great events of this busy music
poason. for It will be managed by Mrs.
Walter Reed, Portland's favorite con
tralto, and she stand for everything
that Is first-class. The sopranos will
Include Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer and
Mrs. Fletcher Linn, the latter being the
popular soprano of the First Presby
terian Church choir and the possessor
of a clear, ringing, high voice. Mrs.
Bloch Bauer Is the premier dramatic
soprano of this part of the country.
Mrs. Walter Reed and Mrs. Anna Sel
kirk Norton arc the contraltos. Mrs.
Roed is a vocal star, and Mrs. Nor
ton for years -was Seattle's favorite
centralto. Mr. Alexander, who has a
liquid, fine tenor voice, will be the
solo tenor, and the baritone is Dom
J. Zan, a singer who receives an ova
tion wherever he appears.
The first chance to hear the Orpheus
Male Chorus will be at this concert,
under the direction of Mr. - Alexander.
There are 22 selected voices in the
chorus: Dom J. Zan. N. C. Zan rr w
Carson. H. A.
vanttue, n. u. Hudson, J. W. Blck

Packard, John Gill, Dr. W." A Cum
mtng. Dr. George Alnslie, James White
and Loon M. Jones. Here is a riddle
for you. In the above list, who are
first and second tenors and bases? Fig
ure It out and see how near you can
got. A quartet consisting of Mrs.
Rose BJoch Bauer, Mrs. Walter Reed,
Mr. Alexander and Mr. Zan will make
its first and last public appearance,

MUSICAL SYLLABLES.
Grew Out of Hymn of Middle
Ages.
"Do, re, ml, fa, sol. la" sung alike In
the backwoods singing "skule," where
singing Is taught in 12 lessons, and un
der the expensive coaching of a famed
vocal-culturist
Yet how how few people know the
origin of these syllables. As the alphabet
grew out of word signs (see editorial on"
Japanese letters In Oregonlan of Decem
ber 2), so these musical symbols were
evolved from words. In the Middle Ages,
Saint John was- the patron saint of sing
ers, and among the hymns ?ung In his
honor was this one: "Ut queant laxle, Re.
sonare nbrls,' "Ml-ra gestorum. Fa-mull
tuorum, Sol-ve pollutl La-bll reatum,
Sancte Johannes." In McElsoh's transla
tion: "That thy net-ran may bo able
To sins tho praise oX thy -wondrous deeds
"With all their strength,
.Cleanse their lips from all stain of sin."
Each line of this hymn began ono note
higher, and Guldo of Arezzo, a Benedic
tine monk, was the first to recognize that
if a definite syllable, ' with its fixed rela
tive position lh the scale, could be se
lected, by transposing them melodies
could be written down. So he took tho
sounds, "ut, re, ml, fa, sol, la," and used
them in his teaching. Tho scale of Gul
do's time was hexatpnic, that is, consist
ing of six notes.
The seventh tone of our scale, "ei,"
was added by tho Frenph in the 17th cen
tury, and the syllables, "ut. re, ml, fa,
sol, la, si," are still used by them in mu
sical parlance, instead of "c, d, e, f, g,
a, b." "Do" was substituted for "ut" by
an Italian, also In the 17th century,
doubtless as being more fitted for vocali
zation. W. G. N.

Mrs. Lulu Dahl-Mlller pleased her hearers
at the last meeting of the Jewish Council of
Women by her charming rendition of May
hews "Shoogy Shoo." giving as a doserved
encore "A Dream." (Bartlett). Mrs. Mil
ler has a most sympathetic contralto voice,
which Is a real pleasure to hear.

Lauren S. Pease has resigned his position
as tenor soloist at the choir of the Temple
Beth Israel, and William II. Boyer has
been appointed, to fill the vacancy. Mr. Pease
found he had too much work to do to hold
the dual positions of tenor soloist at the
choirs of the Temple Beth Israel and the
First Presbyterian Church.
A new chorus choir is being formed for
Portland, under the direction of Frederick W.
Goodrich, organist and choir director of St.

Great Prima Donna Sings Here Janu
ary 30.
. Madame Melba's engagement with Man
ager Conried, at the Metropolitan Opera
House, New York, has begun, and until
early in January her time will be given to
appearances in the leading operas of her
repertoire with the Metropolitan Opera
Company. Melba's reappearance on the
operatic stage attracted unusual attention
and the demand for seats for the night of
her reappearance again proved -the great
popularity of this artist with the New
York public.
Manager Charles A. Ellis, who has
charge of Madame Melba's tour In Amer
ica, has had to refuse many engagements
.for her appearances in concerts through-,

evidences that indicate a continuation of

Miss Eula Bennett, who lately left this
city with "The Tenderfoot" Company, as a
member of the chorus and understudy to the
leading lady, writing to a Portland corre
spondent, says that her way thus far has
been made most pleasant for her, by the
kindness of both the members of the com
pany and, those in charge. After her first ap
pearance on the tage she received the com
pliments and commendation of stage man
ager and director. And so she has "made
good." In Spokane Miss Bennett had the
pleasant experience of meeting several Port
land friends, among them being N. C. Zan
and Robert Gordon. "The Tenderfoot" com
pany is working eastward and will be in
Sioux City. Ia., Christmas.
The great dramatic fioprano Schroeder-Dev-rient.
whose praises Wagner never tired of
sounding, was amazingly methodical in all her
activities. ' She took such good care of her
hairpins that rCic kept some of them 30 years,
and she used to say that if. In the midst
an operatic impersonation, the thought had
occurred to her that some one might find her
hairpins in the dressing-room and throw them
away, she would be Incapable ot continuing
her singing. Often, on returning home after
an exhausting performance, she was unable
to sleep until she had assured herself by per
sonal inspection that all the cups and glaroes
In the cupboard were properly arranged.. Dur.

handkerchiefs because the maid had brought

A scholarly German critic recently confessed
he could find nothing In the works of Richard
Strauss beyond complexity of details and
rooooo extragance. "What German muslo
wants," he said, "is to go to sleep for a hun
dred years"; and he waa right. The greatest
composers of the time are not In Germany:
they are In America, Norway. France and
Poland; their aim is to create now melodies,
not to make new noises. There ls a passage
Jn Dr. Ricmann's "Cathechism of Instrumenta
tion" (ot which the third edition has just ap
peared In Lelpslc), which Strauss whose "Do
mestic Symphony" uses extra military instru
ments would do well to .ponder: "A- further
procedure in tho method of Berlioz. Liszt and
Wasner of multiplying the wind instruments
leada to an unwarranted assimilation .of tho
symphony orchestra to the military band,
which signifies a decay of artistic taste."
One of the reasons of the unpopularity of
the average instrumental concert lies In the
unsuggtstive titles, on the programmes such
titles as Prelude and Fugue. Bach; Sonata,
opus 113, Beethoven; Etude, Berceuse, Chopin,
etc In commenting on the "unpopularity of
classic music" a correspondent writes: 'Heai
ers enjoy pieces called 'Silent Spring 'Lulla
by.' 'Wedding March and 'Boat Song more
than 'sonata 'fugue "prelude or berceuse,
because they know the meaning of the former.
This very fact accounts for the popularity of
Weber's 'Storm 'Silvery Waves The Last
Hope and many others. But tell them a
berceuse ls a lullaby, a eonata an old-time
form of composition, usually In three move
ments, with description of each, that the fugue
has a little melody repeated in each part that
wo must strive to follow, and much more de
scribing the piece, and their Interest will be
aroused. , ,

When Isadore Duncan intimated In Munich
that she would "dance" Beethoven there waa
trouble. While Beethoven was not very re
fined in his habits, he ls still treated as a
deml-god in Germany. One passionate Munich
critic wrote: "We do not trust our eyes when
we read that the lady Intends to dance Beetho
ven. One becomes rigid with astonishment at
this to put it mildly sensational Impudence
and grandiose pretentiousness, shown la the
attempt to dance the mightiest creations of
our noblest German tone poet, who for all eter
nity will -remain the greatest pride of the Ger
man nation. Do not the inhabitants ot tho old
art-city of Munich feel -what an unspeakable
desecration -of tho greatest works of our moat
soulful composer It is to have this lady dance
these culminating points of artistic and senti
mental conception? Against this vandalism,
which exposes us to the Inextinguishable ridi
cule of future generations, is there no voice,
no call, no flaming protest on the part of all
those who, full of German vigor and German,
enthusiasm, look up to I, von Beethoven?
Truly, German people, preserve your most si
red treasures!"
The modern military band halls from
Germany where the military genius and
musical leanings of Frederick the Great
caused him to take the lead In establishing
on a recognized model this Important ad
junct to the army, says an exchange. A
start waa made when Frederick constituted
the first band, with two hautboys, two clar
inets, two horns and two bassoons, an "estab
lishment" which long remained the rule not
only In Germany, but In other European coun
tries. In the British Army there was a queer
lack ot uniformity as late as half a cen
tury ago which occasionally had diro con
sequences.. At the close of the Crimean war.

Varna, in 1854, the English .bands collec
tively played the National anthem, not only
in Independent arrangements, but in different
keys! And this cacaphony before the state
of the allied armies! No wonder those
jarring sounds were much commented upon
and the Duke of Cambridge was evidently
much impressed" ralher. It has been sug
gested, very much depressed. Ono of the
Duke's flrst orders who he became Commander-in-Chief
was that "God Save the
Queen" should always be played in tho
key of B flat. But even the slow process
of war efflce reform manifested itself in
this attempt, at uniformity, as 'each band
roaster used his own peculiar harmonies,
running bass parts, etc, so that while the
key (B flat) was adhered te. according to
the regulations, when the national anthem
was played by massed bands the harmony
was not very harmonious. A regulation har
monized edition for Infantry and cavalry
is, however, now in -use.
An esteemed correspondent sends the- follow
ing: .
What ls a musical critic?
A person who ls an echo of the performers
demanding that their praises be, sung.
Anything else?
Yes. A person who dodges cranks habitually
wanting eend-otls.
Why ls he usually bald?
Thinking about the things he dare not write.
Does his bulging hip pocket conceal a whisky
flask or a revolver?
That altogether depends on the company he
expects.
Must he necessarily be a Handel, Mozart,
Iaderewki and Sousa?
He must give the impression that he ls a
combination of all these; but his intimate
friends know differently.
What would happen if a musical critic ehould
perform In public?
The hall would be rilled by people curious to
see not hear a man who knows It all.
Would you go?
If I were paid yes.
Would you be a critic? i
You forget that my l'fe is not yet insured.
And I want to have some friends.
Have you heard "of Pin! Pinoot. No? Well!
Well! Plnl Pinoot ls a dog. more particularly
a daschhund, and especially Mme. Barnes
