The Joint concert of Alma Gluok
and Kfrem Zlmballat at the public
auditorium Thursday night, February
2, direction steers & Coman. will un
doubtedly draw many hundreds of
music lovers, as It will be these
artists' only appearance here this
season. Of the tone drawn from the
strings of a violin, none is more
famous for Its beauty than that of
Kfrem Zlmballst. "Rich and luscious
In Its Ingratiating beauty, his tone
was divinely beautiful." said the New
York Herald after one of his recitals
In that city. "Despite the cold." it
continued, "wheh usually plays havoc
with stringed Instruments, his intona
tion was perfect. Straightforward
and serious, virile yet tender, his
playing was always wholeisome in
sentiment and delicately restrained
In poetic feeling."

principal artistes of the Grlffes group
that will appear in concert in the

the reEular concerts of the Elwyn

one number by Charles T. Griffes.
Olga Stecb. the pianist, is on the

which Is given to few women planists.

was the furore of musical circles for
her astonishing feat of playing with

critics of New York and other large
cities that hers Is one of the most
exceptional mezzo voices before the
public that, together with her state

figure. Added to her regular reper
toire, Bhe sings In an old hoop-skirt
costume inherited from an old Creole
aristocrat, the charming old Creole
songs of New Orleans, of which she
has made an exhaustive study.
Jacobinoff, violinist, began life in
the Jewish Ghetto of Philadelphia,
and his history reads like Fannie
Hurst's famous Story "Humoresque."
Since his return to America, after
brilliant concert triumphs abroad, he
has played with almost all of our
leading American orchestras.
AUDITORIUM CONCERT FEB. 5.
The Eichenlaub Ensemble chorus

ly followed by a concert in- which
Scotch specialties will be featured.
Including clever Imitations of Harry
Ljiuder'a songs. . The entire proceeds
will be used to buy new equipment
for the Sunday schools of St. David's
parish.
One notable state of affairs in con
nection with this offering of Cole
man's "The Rose of Bagdad" is, that
while all participants in the panto
mime are parishioners of St. David's,
yet they desire to remain without
identity. They refuse to give their
names and take refuge In fictitious
ones. The Calif of Bagdad is Marie
Salvatorl; the grand vizier, Carlotta
Gloria; ShahraUd. Constance Mario;
Karon. Marie Garlica; Mohammed All,

SYMPHONY CONCERT FEB. 8.
The Portland Symphony orchestra
has in preparation for Its next con
cert at the Heilig theater, February
8, a programme of modern music fn
which is included the "Second Indian
Suite" (MacDowell).
The guest artist for this concert
will be Madam Helen Stanley, who
will make her first appearance before
a Portland audience. Other Pacific
coast cities have already Keard
Madam Stanley, both in company with
orchestras and in 'concert., She has
been an operatic star of wide experi
ence, who has won laurels in difficult
and varied roles. Her "Michaela" In
Bizet's "Carmen" has been pronounced
one of the finest ever heard on any
stage.
Comment on Madame Stanley's pub
lic concert and operatic appearance
always dwells upon her personal
beauty and charm, the depth and
range of her really great soprano
voioe, the purity of her diction, her
command of phrasing, and such tech
nical difficulties as meet the color
atura soprano. She Is compared with
Nordica and regarded as one of the
few present-day sopranos who dare
essay Mozart and on the same pro
gramme challenge comparison by
singing the famous "Dich, Theure
Halle," from Wagner's "Tannhauser."
Madame Strjiley will give in Port
land two arias which have won her
unstinted praise, even where praise
Is sometimes grudgingly given. The
aria of "Mlcaela," from "Carmen,"
and the aria "Lia." from Debussy's
"D'Enfant Prodigue," which she will
give here, have won delighted ap
proval in many Amerioan cities. The
assertion that Madame Stanley is
equally' effective on the recital plat
form and in opera has been tested
in many places. It will be a matter
of great interest to verify here the
praise that audiences elsewhere have
always said fell short of the truth
concerning this artist's extraordinary
charm.
MOWHEY CONCERT, FEB. S.
The recitals of Dent Mowrey, pianist
composer, well known for their per
fection of detail, makes his forthcom
ing concert of Thursday night, Feb
ruary 9, In the Multnomah hotel ball
room an anticipated event. The pro.
gramme then to be presented Includes
new compositions whuih will be given
their first public hearing, and an ad
ditional zeature of interest will be
the appearance of Jane Burns Albert,
soprano, in songs composed by Mr.
Mowrey. The songs recently published
by leading New York publishers are
reading a harvest of recognition, and
the interpretation of them by this
popular singer la being looked for
ward to. Characteristic of Dent
Mowrey'a creations they vary In mood
and color from the poignantly beau
tiful "Tears of God," which won im
mediate acclaim, to the "Four Mirth
ful Songs" full of subtle humor of
which Musical America writes. "That
Dent Mowrey is one of our composers
who knows how to smile is proved in
his set of 'Four Mirthful Songs.' Mr.
Mowrey long has been known to us as
9 serious composer of marked gifts.
These songs demonstrate his skill In
lighter vein, and that skill is very
great."
Mr. Mowrey's concert promises to
be one of the outstanding musical
treats of the season.
C. WJ CADMAN IS HONORED.
A reception was given by the' mem
bers of the Cadman Musical club last
Tuesday, at the home of Mrs. D.
Tandy Hunt, 4S8 East Eighteenth
street North, in honor of Charles
Wakefield Cadman, who had appeared
in a successful lecture-recital January
23, under the auspices of- the Cadman
Musical club. A number of musicians
were present at the reception and
piano numbers were contriburea by
Francis Rlchter, Mrs. E. Frankie
Walker and Miss ihry Kveene Cal
breath, who played their own com
positions. Mr. Cadman delighted those
present by rendering several of the
splendid numbers that he had played
at his recital the previous evening.
Mr. Cadman Is vitally interested In
music in the public schools and during
Us present tour he Is collecting data
pertaining to the advancement of the
subject of music in the public schools
in the different cities that he visits.
H-e thinks that we Americans never
wHl really become a musical nation
until the younger children In the
public schools are given a' more
serious course and education in music.
HARD WORK WINS IN OPERA.
In making plans for attendance at
the forthcoming opera season of the
Chicago Opera company in the public
auditorium. March 52-23. one natural
ly speculates as to one's favorite in
the operatic stars who are to appear
on that occasion.
Nearly all those stars have reached
their present prominence through
hard and faithful work and persist
ent study.
There is Mary Garden, the peerless
Melisande and matchless Thais, the
directing general cf the Chicago
opera forces, who has won her way
to this position of duty and trust
even as she forged her way to the
front rank af interpretative artists
j y sheer pluck and persistency. With
her, enjoying he fruits of years of
privation and Intensive study. Is Rosa
Raisa. one of the most brilliant of
i dramatic sopranos of our day, and
Edith Mason, who excels in lyric roles.
Miss Maxwell and Miss Falco, too,
have their storm and stress periods
well conquered, for the American
singer has to face the same "you
show me" audiences that the for
eigners do. But each has won out in
her own way. and each stands unex
celled now in the respective domains
of the lyric, the dramatic, the colora
tura in song.
On the other side, the same strenu
ous work, the same invigorating rou
tine, wlilch youth so often rebels at,
marks Ihe stages of the successful
careers of Muratore, prince of liv
ing tenors, of the Americans Martin,
Johnson and Lamont. and the re
nowned baritones Baklanoff and
Rimini.
TWO SOLOISTS COMPLIMENTED.
"When Mrs. Susie Fennell Pipes,
joint honor guest with Madame Schu-mann-Heink
last week at an elabo
rate luncheon in Walla Walla, Wash.,
discovered that her . violin concert
would be given .the same evening
with . the charming diva, Mrs. Pipes
thought of a co-operative plan where
by music lovers of the college town
could attend both concerts. Mrs.
Pipes obtained permission from Presi
dent Smith of Walla Walla college
to start her "programme promptly at
7:30 P. M. Madame Schumann-Helnk,
deljghted with this suggestion, held
back the opening of her concert until
9 P. M. Both artists played to ca
pacity houses. Both Mrs. Pipes and
Madame Schumann-Heink are hon
orary members of Mu Phi Epsilon,
national musical sorority and were
jointly entertained by the sorority
girls at Whitman college.
A Walla WTalla correspondent says,
concerning Mrs. Pipes' concert: "Mrs.
Pipes played her Vieuxtemps number
with spirit and abandon as well as
perfect intonation. Her last group
called for varied styles of interpre
tation, in all or which she displayed
splendid musicianship and much emo
tional versatility. Particularly ap
pealing was the 'Souvenir Poetlque'
(Fibich), which held the audience
breathless with its perfection. In
addition to her musical gifts Mrs.
Pipes is possessed of a gracious and
easy stage presence and has a vivid
personality which at once attracts
and Interests her hearers." i
When Mrs. Pipes recently played
in concert in Bend, Or., a Bend cor
respondent wrote:
"Mrs. Pipes is a violinist of rare
attainments, and in her second group
gave a rendition of the 'Andante' and
'Rondo' of Vieuxtemps' 'Concerto In
F Sharp Minor,' that proved her a
master of the instrument. Again in
the closing group, when the fascinat
ing strains of the ballet musio from
Rosamund e' (Schubert-Kreisler),
greeted the silent audience, they
knew that the Amatl in her hands
could laugh as wijl as weep, and
when Cyril Scott's 'Lullaby' stole
from the muted instrument. ' her
audience was convinced that the true
power of expression of human emo
tion lay in her caressing touch. In
David Campbell as piano accompanist
the audience found a delight that al
most eclipsed the popularity of the
violinist.
SOLOS CHARM AUDIENCE.
Paul Petri, dramatic tenor, and
Lillian Jeffries Petri, piano accom
panlst, delighted a large audience
with their lecture-recital on "Folk
Music in America" before the Mon
day Musical club last Monday. It
was explained that there really is no
American folk music In the literal
sense. The negro and the American
Indian usually supply that want.
Mr. Petri was most generous in his
programme, using the negro melodies
and insDlrations to develop nis topic.
Mr. Petri's voice was particularly ef
fective in the spirituals. Mrs. Petri
told of the composers chosen for
discussion and the development of
the songs as sung, besides playing
interesting accompaniments.
The programme follows: "Swing
Low. Sweet Chariot," "Peter, Go
Ring-a Dem Bells," "Bye and Bye,
"Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless
Child." "The Gospel Train" (Bur
leigh); "Now My Little Soul's Gwine
Shine Alone," "John the Baptist,"
"Some of These Days" (Guion);
"Mighty Like a Rose" (Nevin);
"Banjo Song." "Two Lovers and
Lizette," "Uncle Rowe" (Homer) ; "My
Lindy Lou" (Strickland); "Mammy's
Song" (Harriett Ware).

members of Mu Phi Epsilon, honorary
musical sorority at the University of
Oregon, to the whole student body

PORTLAND MUSICIAN HONORED.
Frederick W. Goodrich, organist and
choirmaster of St. Mary's pro-cathedral.
Fifteenth and Davis, and one of
the most expert and highly-educated
musical authorities of the Pacific
northwest, recently received the honot
of an Inquiry from J. Fischer & Bro.,
music publishers, New York - city.
They Invited Mr. Goodrich to write
the harmonies for the old, venerable
hymns of the Catholic church, and to
place them in condition for publica
tion, so that organists in' churches
and religious communities could play
the hymns in public worship. Here
tcfore, these Gregorian tunes practi
cally have existed in melody only.
without the softening or wedding of
modern musical harmony.
After months of labor and wide
spread research, Mr. Goodrich has just
finished his labors on the book In
Question. It is just issued, in 166
pages, including index, by J. Fischer
& Bro., and Is entitled "Organ Ac
companiment to .Cantus ad Proces-
siones et Benedictiones SSmi Sacra-
rienti. Juxta Editionem Vatlcanam.
A free translation of this phrase into
English means that the book con
tains hymns sung to processions and
benedictions at the celebration of the
blessed sacrament, according to the
usage of the Vatican at Rome.
Mr. Goodrich has approached bit
task with reverence and respect for
these old hymns of the church sev
eral of them mors than 1000 years
old and has written his harmonies to
conform to the established mode, also
within the spirit of the text.
After more than one dozen of these
venerable hymns were selected at
random from this collection and
played upon the piano loved old
friends of tunes were recognized and
appreciated, tunes which now appear
in agreeable modern dress.
The whole work is one of educa
tional difficulty, one that demanaea
cXDert musical knowledge and a thor
ough education in the knowledge and
at)Dllcatlon of the laws of narmony.
One professional musician who ex
amined the book stated that mere
are only about one dozen tyarmony
experts In this country who could
do tha kind of work of which this
book is made up and that, in his

a pleasant personality which immedi

Katherine Ruth Heyroan, the Cali
fornia pianist, who has Introduced
American composers In Germany and
Russia, and Russian composers In
America, is the author of "The Rela
tion of Ultra-Modern to Archaic
Music." The book Is a collection of
five lectures, technical discussions for
the most part, but of Interest to read
ers other than musicians because of
the author's widebackground of ex.
perinice, and her knowledge not only
of the music but of the civilizations
of east and west. As she herself says,
"It is from other Btudies that I have
learned most about the essence of
music; quaint books on the human
race in other phases of expression and
aspiration, books on ethnology. . ar
chitecture, transcendentalism and lit
erature." Of particular interest to j
the general reader are her estimates
of Debussy and Scrlabine, and the lec- I
ture of "Parallels between ultra-mod-
ern poetry and ultra-modern music."
Miss Heyman's book is in the public I
library.
