far as concerts, recitals, etc., are
concerned, during the past two weeks.
Portland enjoyed at least nine o
these musical events In 14 days' time.
and It was remarked that each even
was well attended by audiences that
apparently had plenty of money to
spend and were willing; to spend It.
It Is estimated that at least 11.800 peo
pie attended these musical events, and
that the gross receipts probably
amounted to 11,000.
These musical events referred to
are

It would appear that the concerts
"came all In a bunch." That Is so.
Many of them were postponed from
time to time, because of influenza con

a prosperous, healthy one for musical
conditions In this city.

gives but that their enjoyment' lies
in the intellectual appreciation of form
and in the charm of melody. Mr.
Becker ably demonstrated that a pro
gramme of classical music may be most
interesting to the layman.
The Mendelssohn "Sonata," ' which
opened the programme, gave oppor
tunity for the use of the full pipe or
can and it was Impressively played.
The Bach "Prelude and Fugue in A
minor" was the big number. Mr. Becker
brought out the involved theme with
thorough understanding and excellent
musicianship.
The lighter numbers were notable for
their registration. Mr. Becker had
worked out some unusual combinations
of stops which were unusually effec
tive. The audience was particularly de
lighted with the delicate "Gavotte" G.
B. Martini). To the listeners it seemed
that the organ was fairly speaking
under the jollity of the theme.
At the next recital. April 8, Mr.
Becker will play a programme com
posed of Italian works exclusively.

ORGAN RECITAL TODAT.
The 16th municipal organ recital will
take place in the vublle auditorium this
afternoon at 1 o'clock. The organist
will be Frederick TV. Goodrich, assisted
by Roseoe Bell, tenor soloist In honor
of St. Patrick's day the programme will
be largely composed of the music of
Ireland and Irish composers. One of
the interesting numbers selected for
performance is "The Irish Tune From i New York.
County Derry," played in this city with
much success by the Portland symphony
orchestra. This number has been tran
scribed by Mr. Goodrich from the full
orchestral score. Another interesting
number is Sullivan's "Triumphal March"
from his Incidental- music to "Henry
VIII." The complete programme:
Overture, "Sounds From Ireland" (Wie
gand). a) Berceuse from "Joselyn"
(Godard), (b) "Barcarolle" from "The
Tales of Hoffmann" 1 (Offenbach), vocal
solo, "There Is a Flower That Bloom
eth," from "Maritana" (Wallace); "Irish
Tune From County Derry" (Percy
Grainger); "Tho Lost Chord" (Sullivan),
"Reminiscences of Ireland" (Godfrey),
vocal solo, "Believe Me if All Those
Endearing Young Charms" (Old Irish);
selection, "Modern Irish Songs"; "Tri
umphal March," from "Henry VIII"
(Sullivan).
PORTLAND CIIORUS FOR OPERA.
A chorus of at let.st 60 voices will be
one of the strong features of the pro
duction of the opera, "The Elixir of
Love, to be rendered at the public
auditorium April 24 and 25 by the
Portland Opera association.
The first meeting of the chorus was
held last Tuesday night, and Director
Corruccini was more than delighted
with the fortunate selection of splendid
voices by those to whom this part of
the work has been assigned.
This Donizetti opera, better than any
of the others that the great Italian
wrote, offers splendid opportunities for
a chorus to shine, and it is the ambition
and intention of Mr. Corruccini and Mrs.
E. L. Thompson, president of the asso
ciation, to give Portland something this
time in the chorus line that will put
everything seen here previously far in
the shade. Even the largest of the
traveling companies, such as the Chi
cago and the Boston, when in their
glories, carried nothing like 60 choris
ters, and as for "voices they did not
have the advantage of selecting from
the best, as has the Portland company.
The scenery and costumes are now
being selected and these will be elab
orate in every respect. All of the vis
iting opera managers and impresari who
have passed through Portland have
spoken of the wonderful stage possi
bilities found at the public auditorium
with its spacious stage, and the Port
land opera managers intend to make
full use of all its advantages.
A great deal of interest in opera al
ready has been evoked In the comin
season; and, judging from the enthusi
asm shown for opera during the re
cent visit of the San Carlo grand op
era company, the attendance at the two
performances should fill the large
building to capacity.
The selection of Roseoe Bell for the
role of Memorino is being received with
keen enthusiasm. Mr. Bell has a beau
tlful lyric tenor voice, which Is suited
admirably for the character that he I:
to portray, that of the young peasant
In love with Adina, prominent In th
community for her graces and gaiety.
and for the fact that she is the pos
sessor of a large estate. She is adored
by Memorino, who is deeply grieved
over the social gulf, which separates
them in the matter of wealth and edu
cation.
day night, March 21, at 8 o'clock, at the
Laurelhurst club house, for the benefit
of the club members and friends. The
musical committee was fortunate in se
. curingr the services of many talented
' soloists, and an excellent concert is as
, sured. As the committee has taken the
' trouble to make this first concert a
; success, it is hoped that all club mem
1 bers and residents of Laurelhurst will
! attend.
The following excellent programme
has been arranged:

ORATORIO MEMBERSHIP CHANGES
The Portland Oratorio society soon
will begin work on the numbers for its
miscellaneous programme in the late
spring. Work on the oratorio "Crea
tion" is progressing well. The quality
of voices in the chorus this year is
the best yet. One soprano, from Scot
land, last year sang "The Messiah" li
a chorus of 150 conducted by her own
father. Miss Dana Livesay, the accom
panist, and her sister Clara sang in
the oratorio society at Milwaukee, Wis.
There are singers in the chorus from
a number of large choruses In almost
every state in the union.
At a social evening spent at the
home of Joseph A. Finley a short time
ago, SI singers were present. A census
showed that five countries and 17 dif
ferent states were represented. Only
three were Oregonians. In the last
concert, when "Messiah" was sung, only
ten of the original 106 singers in the
first presentation seven years ago took
part. Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer, the so
prano soloist at that time, is dead. Mrs.
Delphine Marx, contralto soloist, is in
The other three soloists.
J. Ross Fargo, tenor; Maldwyn Evans
and Dr. Stuart McGuire, baritones, still
are prominent in city music Lowell
Patton, pianist, has just been released
from the navy. Edgar E. Coursen, pi
anist, and Joseph A. Finley, conductor,
were the only principals who took part
in both presentations.
The Portland Oratorio society meets
every Monday evening at 8:15 o clock
in room A, Central Library building.
Singers are welcome, whether trained
singers or not.
BOSTON TENOR SINGS FRIDAY.
Roland W. Hayes of Boston, Mass.,
called "the leading colored tenor of
America," assisted by Lawrence B.
Brown, pianist and accompanist, will
appear in recital in the Little theater
Friday night at 8:30 o'clock. The New
York Tribune recently said: "At Aeo
lian hall Roland W. Hayes, a negro ten
or, gave a concert In which he disclosed
himself In a two-fold capacity as a
singer who asked no odds on the score
of bis color and as an interpreter of
the songs of his people. His 'Negro
Spirituals' made a profound emotional
appeal to the audience. Mr. Hayes put
as much art In them as he did into the
French songs."
SWEDlA SONGS MARCH 28.
Theo Karle and his bride of a few
months will be the guests at a luncheon
and reception given in their honor by
the Musicians club in the crystal room
of the Benson hotel after the concert
of the Singing Club Columbia at the
public auditorium on the night of Fri
day, March 28. as will Clyde Lehman,
the noted pianist, who is accompanist
for the noted American tenor.
Shortly after his marriage Mr. Karle
answered the call of America and only
a few weeks ago he doffed the uniform
of a private soldier on being released
from the army. Since then he has been
at work upon his concert repertoire.
which will include many new worKs.
One of his principal numbers also will
be the big tenor aria from Puccini's "La
Boheme," which is admirably suited for
his rich and flexible voice.
Among the Scandinavian works to
be suns by the Columbia, under tne 01
rection of Charles Swenson, will be the
famous "Landsighting" by Grieg, with
the incidental solo by Jacob Wallin,
baritone.
