ONE principal and seasonable fea
ture of the Portland Eymphony
Orchestra concert programme to
be presented in the Heilig Theater,
"Wednesday night, appears in the form
cf a "Victory Prelude," consisting of
a musical group representing the
principal allied nations, which includes
"The Star-Spangled Banner," "La Mar
seillaise." Garibaldi s "Hymn," "Pomp
and Circumstance" (Elgar) and "Jubi
lee" overture (Weber).
The final number of the "Victory
Prelude" is the "Jubilee" overture of
Carl Maria von Weber, composed for
the festival held in Dresden In com
memoration of the accession of Fred
erick Augustus I of Saxony, in 1818.
The overture winds up with "God Save
the King," known to us as "America,"
and the words of the last verse of
the hymn are to be printed in the pro
gramme so, at a given signal, the
audience may join in singing the
melody.
The symphony chosen is Mozart's
Symphony in C Major. "The Jupiter,"
which was completed in August, 1788,
and wll the last work of the kind
penned by the composer. It was writ
ten at a time of great stress and
anxiety, when financial difficulties
were pressing heavily upon the un
fortunate musician. It is not certain
who was the originator of the name
"Jupiter," as applied to the symphony.
The work is scored for one flute, two
oboes, two bassons, two horns, two
trumpets, kettledrums and strings.
The opening material is worked over
In various ways leading to a second
theme, which it has been said is "as
gay as gay can be, just as if intrigues
and cabals, debt and illness, and dis
appointment poor Mozart's daily bread
had not existed." In the second
movements, the trumpets and drums
are omitted and the main subject opens
in the muted strings. The trio is in
teresting by reason of the conversa
tional treatment of the woodwind and
strings.
The finale is the great movement of
the symphony. It opens with the
four-note theme based upon an old
church tone. A wonderful recapitula
tion and coda bring to an end this
great symphony Mozart's last and
finest example of this form.
Bizet's overture, "Patrie," which
follows the symphony, brings to mind
that this work was the first success of
the brilliant young Frenchman who
died at the early age of 36 years,
grieving at the failure of "Carmen,"
which after his death was acclaimed
a living success and now holds the
stage, possibly, for all time.
The programme also includes Mas
senet's "Scenes Pittoresque," which
has become popular largely on ac
count of the beautiful "Angelus," rep
resenting the impressions of evening in
a French village, solemnized with the
distant sounds of the vesper hymn.
The soloist. Mrs. Winifred l.ugrin
Fahey, soprano, of Victoria, B. C, is
a Canadian woman of fine presence,
whose warmth and frankness are
united with a cultured poise common
to high artistry. Her concert singing
already is pleasantly familiar to a
great mass of music lovers through
out Canada, where she lias been ac
corded the most enthusiastic recep
tions. In singing at a recent concert in
Vancouver, B. C, Mrs. Fahey was ac
corded this notice by a Vancouver cor
respondent: Mrs. Fahey a beautiful soprano
voice, her beauty and magnetic per-
eonality united in presenting a pi C'ire
at once alluring and fascinatin" to
her audience. Her first number was
the always welcome -tVissi d'arte, from
Puccini's tuneful 'La Tosca,' and was
followed by the difficult 'Shadow
Song,' of 'Dlnora' (Meyerbeer), a num
ber which gave the singer an oppor
tunity of displaying her fine technical
accomplishments. The suite of four
sonca was sung with equal success,
the Sullivan number, 'Orpheus With
His Lute,' being particularly well in
terpreted. 'The Lass With the Deli
cate Air' isr of course, always a fa
vorite, and Mrs. Fahey received a par
ticularly warm reception at its close.
For" an encore she sang a humorous
song, 'Oh, No." John.' Her final appear
ance was for the suite oT three Rus
sian songs, all of them compositions
of great beauty, which she rendered
with commendable warmth, and for an
encore sang DeKoven's sublime 'Reces
sional.' " j

The interest in the American com
poser is now so widespread that infor
mation concerning any of those who
have gone "over the top" is always of
current value.
Miss Fay Foster, as composer of "The
Americans Come," which has been one
of the most successful songs of the
war. and Is now being used extensively
as a victory song, is one of America's
most Interesting personalities.
A Western girl, born in Kansas, she
was a musical prodigy. She composed
before she was old enough to climb
into the piano stool unaided, and has
been a persistent winner of musie
prizes both in America and Europe,
where she spent 12 consecutive years
in musical study.
Miss Foster's greatest American suc
cesses before the "The Americans
Come!" were "One Golden Day," 'My
Menagerie,'' (a h ig-h-class humorous
song), lie: three Japanese sketches and

two Japanese sword songs. These have
been sung from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific Coast by the best concert singers,
but it regained for "The Americans
Come!" to make Miss Foster's name a
household word. The touching pathos
and final exultant cry of rejoicing
went home to every American heart
and at once aroused interest in the
composer who has given to the world
this "wonderful message of faith In
our own American soldier."
Fay Foster lives in New York City,
is an accomplished vocalist and pianist,
speaks French. Italian and German, and
is withal a modest, unassuming per
son. She has Just written a new song,
which will be Issued immediately. It
is entitled "I'm Glad I Went Over to
France" and is of a somewhat lighter
character than most of her work, hav
ing been written in response to an often
expressed request of the boys in the
camps "write something for us, .Miss
Poster, something we can sing!"
Mis3 Foster is also working on an
operetta, has a large vocal class of fine
voices and still finds time In her busy
life to visit the camps weekly. Above
all else, she loves the American sol
dier. HER PIANO GAIN CHARMS.
Mrs. Ella Connell Jesse was the
pianistic attraction last Monday after
noon at a meeting of the MacDowell
Club, Mrs. Warren E. Thomas, presi
dent. It has been some little time since
Mrs. Jesse has played in exacting
piano recital work and in the interval
she has gained in poise, technique and
in poetic, finished interpretation. She
now plays with that quiet authority
and ease and coherence in performance
that comes from not only faithful work.
but consistent study and mental train
ing. Her renditions were a charming
enjoyable musical treat.
Mrs.. Jesse's programme is an tin
hackneyed, unusual one, selected from
old and modern masters, but without
one number in it that is worn or dull.
These selections are from works of
Couperin, Alkan, Rachmainoff, Debus
sy, Poldini and Campell-Tipton. The
most remarkable of them all Is "Le
Vent," written by Alkan, which is filled
with a baby tempest of wind and rain,
just like a fitful storm at sea. The
piano keys seemed to reflect the wrath
of the angry wind, so cleverly has the
composer visualized it, and so splen
didly did the pianist render it. "Gar
dens in the Rain" (Debussy) and "Pre
lude" (Rachmaninoff) were also of
stellar excellence. Mrs. Jesse was cor
dially applauded and otherwise compli
mented. As a prelude to the recital. Miss M.
Brenda Francklyn made an eloquent,
touching appeal for the assistance of
French children made orphans through
the ravages of war. She said that
one such orphan could be supported
for 36.50 per year.
MISS MILDRED COLEMAN WINS.
A 15-year-old schoolgirl. Miss Mil
dred Coleman, of 603 Gllsan street, a
student at Lincoln High School, has
been adjudged by the Portland Mu
sicians' Club the winner in the com
petition for the best essay, by high
school children in the city, on the topic,
"Why Portland Needs a Symphony
Orchestra."
The surprising feature in the case is
that Miss Coleman's essay Is a finely
written one, and she shows creditable
knowledge of her subject but she ad
mits she has not attended one concert
of the Portland Symphony Orchestra
series. Miss Coleman, in a talk over
the telephone to The Oregonian office,
says so. It is remarkable intuition on
her part and also shows that she has
been a discriminating reader on music

Prise on "Why Portland Needs a
Symphony Orchestra."
matters in the Portland newspapers.
For years the Portland Symphony
Orchestra management has admitted,
free of charge, high school children of
this city to all rehearsals for these
symphony concerts.
Miss Coleman says she was born in
Newberg, Or., and has lived in this
city "off and on" from three to four
years.
Lively and unexpected Interest has
been shown in the contest to win the
prize offered by the Portland Musicians'
Club for the best reply in 300 words
made by a student of high school age,
in this city, in answering this question:
"Why Portland Needs a Symphony
Orchestra."
There were 863 answers from Port
land boys and girls.
The prize consists of two tickets for
Wednesday night's concert of the Port
land Symphony Orchestra, and the prize
is esteemed not because of its intrinsic
value, but because of the musical honor
that has been won ty a Portland child
of high school age.
The president of the Musicians' Club,
Dr. Emil Enna, hardly anticipated the
number of contestants when he sug
gested the competition. The committee
who examined the papers handed in
are these members of the Musicians'
Club Frederick W. Goodrich, Franck
Eichenlaub and Daniel H. Wilson. They
devoted three days to examinations of
the 863 contestants' papers.
Miss Coleman's winning paper Is:
"The Symphony Orchestra of Port
lsnd is a striking symbol of the city's
progress in intellectual education.
"The ordinary trend of music, which
Is forced upon the public under most
circumstances, is far from being of a
high standard. Symphony music is edu
cational, and its value, from a psy
chological standpoint, cannot be over
estimated. It counteracts, to a large
degree, the inferior class of music,
therefore the mere fact that a city can
support a symphony orchestra is proof
that its citizens are capable of pro
ducing and appreciating the best type.
"Portland, being a Western city, ia
removed, to a certain extent, from the
musical centers of the Nation. There
fore if we wish to enjoy intelligent
renditions of great masters' composi
tions It Is necessary to utilize our own
resourcefulness and local talent. Jt is
possible to do this through the me
dium of the symphony orchestra.
"In order to progress as a city toward
intellectuality the majority of the peo
ple must have the advantage of the
finest music. Musical education is one
of the most enjoyable things in the
world and everyone should have the
opportunity afforded by the concerts
for cultivating good taste.
"The obvious results of frequent
symphony concerts are many uni
versally higher esthetic ideals, broader
and more complete knowledge of classi
cal music and a strengthened pride in
the musicians of our city.
"The orchestra should be a center of
community interest, for it is an or
ganization of which we can be Jus
tifiably proud. It should have the
valiant support of every loyal citizen.
Its ideals should be honored by every
person who aspires to the highest cul
ture. MILDRED COLEMAN.
