of people in this city. He has been a
dinner guest at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Clark several times. When he ex
pressed a desire to sing for his friends
in a private recital the invitations were
issued. Yesterday the signor really
made his debut as a singer In this
country.
"The baritone has had an Interesting
career. Born in Dalmatia. an Austrian
province, he came to this country when
a mere child. While he was yet a youth
in San Francisco it was discovered that
he had a voice of the greatest possi
bilities. An American citizen by this
time, he went abroad to study, and
under the best tutors on the Continent
became the notable baritone he is to
day. For the past six years he has
been a prominent opera singer in Eu
rope. He was the leading baritone at
the Royal Opera-House in Prague for
three years. He has sung before roy
alty in Austria, Italy, Russia and Ger
many. "The artist talks entertainingly of
Europe and particularly of conditions
there since the outbreak of the war.
For a time opera flourished, he said,
but the harsh tones of war finally be
gan to prevail over art. Now the sur
render of music, of operatic quality, is
complete, he says, and the great sing
ers are looking to America.
"Signor Zan will make his debut in
New York shortly. He will not be
heard at the Metropolitan, but probably
in recital at Carnegie Hall or else
where. He plans to make a tour of the

WITH Waldemar Lind as ' con
ductor, ' and Henry L. Bettman
as concert matter, the second
concert of the sixth season of the Port
land Symphony Orchestra takes place
at 3 o'clock this afternoon at the Eleventh-Street
Theater.
The programme:
Overture to the Interlude "Suzanne's Se
cret" (Wolf-Ferrari): "Symphony No. 4."-op.
SB. in F minor (Tschaikowsky ) : "Ballet
Suite" (Gretry-Mottl); march, "Ecossaie"
(Debussy"). . ,
Tschaikowsky's fourth symphony, is
a stupendous work, and Judging from
Its brilliant rendition at' the final
rehearsal, Friday morning, its per
formance will reflect great credit on
the orchestra. ,
In a letter to a friend, Tschaikowsky
Brave an analysis- of the symphony, ex
plaining that the, introduction is the
whole thought of the woric. The open
ing theme, he explained, sounds the
Kate, "the fatal power which hinders
one in the pursuit of happiness." In
the second movement, the composer il
lustrates another phase of sadness,
melancholy that enwraps one at night
when alone and exhausted by work.
The third movement is a succession of
capricious arabesques,- vague figures
which slip into the imagination' of the
dreamer.- The mood is now gay, now
mournful. In this movement,' the pic
tures are decidedly disconnected, but
nevertheless intensely interesting. The
fourth movement gives in tone colors
the picture of a folk holiday '. where
Fate again enters and where the indi
vidual receives attention only to the
extent that plays his part. "Kejoice
in the happiness of others and you can
still live," the composer comments, and
that is the message he endeavors to de
liver through the medium, of the In
strumental voices.
The overture to "The Secret ' of
Suzanne" is of the modern school, the
opera having been written but a few
years ago. The opera is. particularly
distinguished by the fact that it -acks
chorus.
The ballet suite from the opera
Caphale et Procris is of exceptional
interest by reason of its composer hav
ing added - to the wealth of French
music some 50 operas, a large amount
of church music, symphonies, prologues
and piano and string numbers; and thi
ballet is among the best. The arrange
ment to be played today is by the
French composer Mottle, who employs
more modern instrumentation than that
of Oretry who wrote the ballet many
years earlier. Grety was born at Liege
Belgium, September 24. 1813.
Debussy's march "Ecossaise" brings
one into the highlands of Scotland and
a village fete. It contains a striking
English horn solo that is later taken
Up by the flute.

interpretation., Miss Huntley did par
ticularly -fine work in the "Andante
Spinnato" and . "Polonaise" (Chopin)
and together with a sympathetic and
sustained orchestral accompaniment
on the organ, the number became one
of the most delightful of the pro

ORCHESTRA BRASS CONTRASTED.
Without' its brass section the or
chestra would sound . thin light in
timbre. The, resonance , of ; horns,
trumpets and trombones serves to em
phasize, by .contrast, the gentler color
notes of woods and reeds and strings;
in their turn, the strings and reeds
provide a foil for the brazen voices.
They provide, too, a' test of good play
ing, for a poor player's coarse and
strident tone is more conspicuous in a
symphony orchestra than in a brass
band. Horn players who can be relied
upon ior a clear ana meuow tone are
rare, comments the Kansas City Star.
The horn ,was originally an instru
ment of the chase, and its development
from the simple, straight tube to the
complex French horn was due to the
different horn, calls Invented for use
in hunting. '
Early writing for the horn was very
simple. Then followed some rather
florid passages for it in Rossini's
"Stabat Mater." Gounod found another
use for it in Faust." using the muted
horn tone to spread a balej'ul influence
while the aged philosopher signs his
soul over to the devil. Siegfried meets
death to the accompaniment of the
same dreadful horn note. In Massenet's
"Scenes Plttoresque," the muted horn
simulates a cracked bell, while Berlioz
employs the open horn note in combi
nation with the harp to Imitate a full-
toned bell.
Although the valve born produces a
full chromatic scale, its tones have-not
the roundness and richness of the nat
ural horn. The action of the valves,
throwing extra tubes into use and thus
lowering the tone, nave a slightly muf
fling effect, which only the best play
ers are able to overcome.
The tone color of the trumpet Is bril
liant and easily discerned in the full
orchestra, even if only a single instru
ment is used. It can be softened, but
is at its best in loud, ringing notes. Its
principle use is in fanfares, of which
Wagner has so many, and of which one
of the finest is in . Verdi's Manbonl
Requiem.-.
The cornet does not regularly belong
to the symphony orchestra, but is some
times substituted for the trumpet be
cause it is easier to play. , A few works
call for it in addition to the trumpet,
notably those by French composers.
The trombone attains a more nearly
perfect intonation than any other In
strument except the violin. This is due
to its slide, which enables the per
former to sharp or flat his tones at
will and to correct harmonics that may
be out of tune with the scale. Tenor
and bass trombones are heard in the
modern orchestra. . They intone the
priest's service in the "Magic Flute"
and are heard in menacing mood in the
chorus of furies in Gluck's "Iphigenia."
Schubert liked the trombone's pure and
delicate tone and obtained some beau
tiful effects by, using them softly
against the strings.
The tuba is the bass of the brass
quartet. Wagner found its harsh, gruff
quality valuable in the brutal Hunding
motive . and again when the dragon
Fafnir defends the Nlbelunsfen hoard.
NICK ZAX IS OPERA STAR.
Portland people will remember with
Pleasure of Nicholas Zan, the young
baritone who sang -at concerts- In this
city, particularly under the direction
of Mrs. Rose Coursen Reed, about seven
or eight years ago. Nicholas Zan is a
cousin of Dom J. Zan, baritone, of this
city.
Nicholas Zan is now Signor Nichola
Zan, in professional concert and oper
atic life, and has been singing with
success in - leading operas in Europe.
Recently the conditions caused by the
war in Europe led him to return to this
country, and he appeared as soloist in
a private concert at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Paul R. Clark. Auburn. N. Y..
when he 'was assisted by Joseph. B.
Tallmadge. piano accompanist.
Mr. Zan's concert programme was:
Prologue. "I 'Pagliacci" (Leoncavallo);
"Songo-Melodia" (Tosti): "Vorrei"
(Tosti); "Serenade" (Gounod); "Ob
stination" . (De Fontanailles) : "Abend
stern." from "Tannhauser" (Wagner);
"Notturno" (Ruzic); "Iz mladih dana"
(Ruzic); "Tako s'meinja cas" (Ruzic);
"Tl si toll divna" (Stohr); "A Red. Red
Rose" (Hastings); "Irish Love Song"
(Lang): "Requiem" , (Homer); "The
Trumpeter" (Dix).
An Auburn correspondent writes:
"Signor Zan possesses a baritone voice
of wonderful . range and breadth. His
enunciation proved a treat for stick
lers for linguistic clarity, and his tone
clarity was ever a delight. This artiBt
sings with his heart as well as his
throat, and into every number he puts
the deepest feeling. He. sang yester
day as impressively as if he were fac
ing a great audience in Vienna or
Milan instead of a small private gath
ering. It is no exaggeration to say
that the recital guests were enthralled
by the voice, art and poise of the signor.
In the opinion of many of the guests
no more pleasing baritone has ever
been heard in Auburn;
"Signor Zan bas been in this country
sides, when he expects there will be a
revival of the opera. '

In the most remote village in this
country, in purely industrial communi
ties, among the poor- and among the
rich (both having forgotten) children
love good songs, says the Atlantic Mag
azine. It is their natural inheritance.
No excess of materialism, in the gen
erations affects it in the least. This
is the primitive endowment; deep down
in human character there lies. a har
mony of adjustment with nature- Over
lay it as you may with custom, or habit,
sully it with luxury, it still persists,
for without it human life cannot be.
This idealistic basis of human life,
which is never destroyed, appears fresh
and unstained in children and In song
it bubbles up as Trom a pure spring.
Ar excellent musical programme was
rendered at the union Thanksgiving
services held at the White Temple, by

approach.
