8 -T1TE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND DECE3IBER 14, 1913. KD1TEU BY JObKfH II. QLENT1X. THE Increasing popularity of the Portland Symphony Orchestra is attested by the great demand for eats this season, and from present in dications the Heilig Theater will have a. capacity house this afternoon at 3 o'clock, on the occasion of the second of the season's concerts, under the di rection of Carl Denton. Opening with that gem of overtures, "The Vorsplel." from Wagner's "Mela tersingers." it is a programme that V.U1 be full of Interest both to the tuient and the pleasure seeker. The symphony will be the celebrated "Rus tic Wedding." by the Hungarian com poser. (Joldmark. and the string num ber, in which Portland audiences invariably- find keen delight, is the "Bouree" from J. Sabastian Bach's "Violin Sonata." The arrangement, by S. liachrich, is a brilliant one and the entire number is representative of lsch at his best. In the "Ode." by Jan Brandts BuT3. there will be opportunity for the harp, when Miss Fischer, this season's harp ist, will be introduced to Tortland au diences. Miss Fischer is the daughter of a prominent member of the Theodore Tliomns orchestra, received her train ing In Austria, and is the latest ac utMton to the personnel of the or chestra. The ode will have work also for the &li horn and the strings, an unusual hut beautiful combination of instrument. Tho request number on the proKramme is the delightful second Intermezzo from "The Jewels of the Madonna." which Pirtlandrs grew fond of on the occasion of the per formance of the opera in this city last Spring. The final number on the programme Is the Victor Herbert "Irish Khapsody." a work full of picturesque orchestration In which he presents many classic old Gaelic melodies. Although reckoned an American composer. Herbert is of Irish birth, and the "Rhapsody" is In a degree a tribute to the music of his native land. It commences with the old Irish song. "Oarryowne." which is followed by brief suggestions of other! tunes that are Worked out more elabo- I ratcly later on. and It then merges into the ever-popular "Believe Me if All Thnan I-' n.l rim. Tniinf I - m m " played upon the harp and strings.! After a quick change the olioo intro duces an Irish Jig with an enm- lutnlmcnt on the clarinets and bas noons, which Is then developed by the full orchestra, finally ending in "The Piper's Pane." which Is beiutifutly cored. "Culshla ma chree." set by Thomus Moore to the words "Come O'er the Sea." is played as a cello solo and leads into a number of other well Ueloved airs, all of which are asso ciated with the poems of Thomas Moore. The number comes to a bril liant close, leaving the audience to feel that it has been treauing on the "ould sod" of the Emerald Isle.

Surprise waa ex pressed by those In attendance at the meeting that a clergyman should have such a finely trained tenor voice. Mra Blschoff. by whom Mr. Gorman was presented in recital, was his piano ac companist. Mr. Gorman has been en gaged as tenor soloist at the celebra tion of Forefathers' Day. December 22, at the First Congregational Church, when he will sing for the Congrega tional Club: "Pilgrim Fathers, poetry by Mra Hemans. and "Ah, Moon of My Delight." from Liza Lehmann's "Persian Garden." Miss Sophie Braslnu. contralto, of the New York Metropolitan Opera-House. is not a Portland girl, but she has Just made such an instantaneous success as an operatic singer- that an account of her work is qf current Interest. A New York correspondent writes: " "One of the fortunate few' that was the universal verdict the morning after Sophie Braslau mads her debut at the Metropolitan Opera-House. in New York. The sentiment of the elite mu sical public was echoed by the critics. Many failures bave been recorded I recent years for singers who aspired to be enrolled In the charmed galaxy of opera stars. Thus Miss Braslau's suc cess so early In the season stands out all the more prominently. The gods bave favored Sophie Braalau. She bas youth, a marvellously beautiful con tralto voice, musicianship, the Inborn singing talent, good looks and his trionic ability. Miss Braslau received all of her musical training in this country. She studied piano with Alexander Lambert and as her splen did musical talents ripened It was her intention to become a concert pianist. Later, when the gifted girl discovered, that fciie had a voice, she studied with Slgnor Buzzl-Peccla, the master who trained Alma Giuck. While In Italy last Summer Giordanl. the celebrated conductor, heard Misa Braslau sing nd this Italian expert declared it was the finest .contralto voice he had ever heard. He advised the young singer to prepare for opera, declaring at the same time if she did she would succeed. Of Russian parentage. It seemed doubly fortunate that Miss Braslau should be assigned to make her operatic pre miere In Moussorgsky's wonderful Rus sian opera, 'Boris Oodounow.' " John McCormlek. the celebrated Irish grand opera and concert tenor, who Is now singing In Australia, sails soon for Victoria, B. C. and will open his American tour early In February. He la booked for a concert In thla city and on this tour Is supported by Don- Id McBeth, a young Australian violin ist, and Vincent O'Brien, organist and accompanist, who Is on tour by per mission of the archbishop of Dublin. Ireland. A correspondent at Astoria. Or., who attended the memorial services of the Astoria Lodge of Elks. No. 180. last Sunday, writes: "The muslo was su perb In its every feature. This could not have been otherwise, since It was In such hands as those of Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer, soprano: Mrs. Delphlne Marx, contralto; Norman A. Hoose, tenor, and II. Q. Whlpp. basso, while the Instrumentation was presided over by such well-known leaders as Will iam Wallace Graham, violinist: Ferdi nand Konrad, cellolst, and Mrs. Leo nora Fisher Whlpp, pianists and di rector, all of whom came down from Portland for this especial service, and severally won the lasting and enthus iastic gratitude of muslc-lovlng Asto ria in so doing. Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer, who has many warm friends and ad mirers in Astoria, was in perfect voice and her efforts, though unatteneded by any open expression of pleasure on the part of her auditors, was none the less profoundly appreciated and will be long remembered. Mr. Hoose was heard to great advantage In solo, duet and quartet; Mrs. Bauer granted the same measure of delight; Mrs. Marx was not one whit behind In her equal share of the gracious work: Mr. Whlpp also won the earnest good will of his hearers In aa many engagements and his accomplished wife was happily conspicuous in practically every phase of the long programme. Mr. Graham Is too well known all over Oregon to be credited with anything less than the slncerest approval for his work, which was of the finest, and Mr. Kon rad's quota met every demand made upon his 'cello at every turn in the long and difficult assignment. It was a rare treat throughout." ... . The Portland Oratorio Society. Joseph A. Flnley. conductor, will render Han del's "Messiah" at Centenary Methodist Episcopal Church, Friday night, Decem ber 26.

An appreciation of Madame Marches, who has just died, was written a few years ago by her famous student. Ma dame Melba. in a preface to Madame Marchesl's "Ten Singing Lessons." She was something "more than a great teacher of Kinging;" "she is at once the great enthusiast and philosopher of her art." Madame Marches, who knew In timately all the great musicians of her time, recounted In "Ten Singing Les sons" a visit which Wagner once paid her. "Wagner had no conception of the human voice." she wrote: "In par ticular, of tlie delicate. I may say frag ile, female voice. Ho said to me frank ly that song In general waa subordin ate to his orchestra, and that In his compositions he attached to It but little I Importance. I sought to enlighten him uy some explanations as to the dsnger of this principle, but his opinions were so positive that I turned the conversa tion In another direction." "We have In America better music teachers, better music schools, cleaner surroundings, cleaner life, than the people of Europe have." declared John O. Freund. of New York, at the Wil lard. Washington. V. C "Some of th most successful music teachers In Europe are Americans." he continued, "yet our American parents are continually sending their children abroad to receive Instruction from Eu ropean professors, when at home they could bn given better instruction by better tutors. Standards of music In America are high. .A number of opera singers, successful abroad, failed to make good In New York last year. In our audiences are French. German. Russian, Italian and members of other races familiar with music In their own countries, as well as Americans who have heard everything there Is to hear in America and most of that abroad. If one Is successful In pleasing that kind of an audience he will be success ful anywhere. "Six hundred million dollars is spent every year in America for music which Is more than the combined cost of the Army and Navy and the postal receipt One would think that most of this Is spent for attendance on the opera. Not so: 9230.000,000 is spent for musical In structlon. Germany, considered the most musical nation, spends 10 times as much money for Its army and navy as lor its music.
