The third concert of the Portland

the high standard of excellence which

It would have been better, however.
If one or two lighter, better-known

the first performance of that great
work n Portland, and music lovers

The attendance at the symphony con

which Is a source of gratification to
the orchestra men. showing as it does
a growing appreciation on the part
of the public of the faithful work and
devotior to their art displayed by the
Portland musicians.

Several of Madame Albanl s views as
to singing mar be learned from this
Interview with her. which appeared re
cently In London Musical Opinion:
"What should be the time limit of
dally rocal ' practice?" "I prescribe
three practices of SO minutes each, al
ways with adequate Intervals of rest
between. As the pupil gains proficien
cy, there may be three practices dally
of' half an hour each. No more."
"At what would you estimate the
amount of a prima donna's singing
during the performance of a whole
opera. If It were continuous?" "About
three-quarters of an hour. But, of
course, one is on the stage much longer
that that."
"How long does a properly trained
voice last?" I asked, thinking of the
frequent casea of premature loss of
voice that one hears reported- "As long
as one can breathe." said Mme. Albanl,
smiling. "Of course, 'old age must make
a difference. The top notes gradually
go, the power over delicate gradations
lessens and there Is a falling oft In
vital energy. But there Is never any
causa for the 'breaking down' of the
voice If It be always properly used.
Remember that Instances of misuse of
the vocal organs must occur In all
schools of singing even among the
'old Italians.'"
