HE nam i'Peer Oynt" has for
years meant to the public noth
ing beside an exquisite suite of
music, . composed by Edward
Grieg, the Norwegian. It is one
of the most beautiful expressions of
musical renlus.
The few of broader information knew
the meaning of the four heads to the
division of the suite: ' "Morning," "Ase's
Death," "Anitra's Dance" and "The
Hall of the Mountain King." They
knew Grieg bad found his inspiration
in a lofty poetic drama by Henrik Ib
sen, "Peer Gynt" by name, phases of
which he translated Into his tone poem,
and they knew also of another, seaond
uite, "Peer Gynf by Grieg, with three
dtvUlone: "lngrld'0 Plaint,1' "Bolveig's
Bong" and "Peer's Homecoming."
Richard Mansfield by his notable
achievement in producing "Peer Gynt"
oil the dramatic stage, where It had
been a strancrer exceut for endowed
performances In a few royal theatres
of Europe, attracted renewed attention
to the f'Feer Gynt" music and every
symphony and concert orchestra in
America has played .the Grieg music
and in many instances the rarely heard
second suite. Louis James appears in
the play as Mansfield produced It. dur
ing the Christmas recess and opportun-
ny win oe given to near tne muaio m
its stage settings.
Ibsen did not believe when, he wrote
his play that it would ever be acted.
The scenic difficulties were too over
whelming. But Grieg seised on the hu
mor and pathos and fantasy of the
great poem for his first suite. Then the
Royal theatre of Christianla decided to
attempt a production of the drama.
The scenes difficult of pictorial reali
sation were eliminated bodily. Louis
James presents In the Richard Mans
field version a third mere than Ibsen
edited for acting. At Ibsen's behest,
Grieg wrote more "Peer Gynt" music
and the' second suite Was the result.
AH of Grte&'a "Peer Gynt" music
and much other Norwegian character
istic music is made conspicuous em
broidery of this elaborate production,
which is to be presented here In its
original Mansfieldlan entirety.
The themes of ail the music in "Peer
Gynt have been gathered into an over
ture by Clarence Lucas, who arranged
the musical letting of the olay. and as
the last strains Of the overture die
away, the choir of strings takes up the
delicious strains of "Morning," the tone
picture or AH e rising mists, refreshed
nature, the carolling birds and the
brilliant sun. During this the curtain
rises on a picture of a Norwegian moun
tain with the mill, the waterfall, the
brook at hand, and the peaks piled up
beyond. Peer and his mother come down
the mountain as the music fades away
and he begins the scene of incomparable
imaginative lying and banter.
The scene soon changes to the Heg
stad farm durintr the festival attending
the wedding of Ingrld and Mads Moen.
An old Norwegian country dance theme
is used u the accompaniment of the
characteristic dance of lads- and lassies
on ths green. Peer drinks to excess,
and, provoked by Bolveig's refusal of
mm, in sneer bravado, steals his for
mer sweetheart. Inerid. and earanea in
perilous fllRht over the mountains. Be-
lore aci two "ingride's Plaint is played,
and directly after illustrated in the
scene nigh up among the snow-capped
peaks between Peer and Inarid.
The liquor he has drunk soon shows
its rmai results and Peer sinks In a
swoon. The white and amber sunlight
changes instantly to a supernatural
green and the balance of the scene and
all the next Is thus Indicated as the
Illusion of Peer's drugged mind. Every
Norwegian knows the folk story of the
Trolls or goblins who dwell up In the
Ronde mountains. It Is the daughter
ni i no Mountain tving wno appears to
rrr ana summons ner steea, a huge
wn.i noar, on which he and she ride
over the mountains to the hall of the
Mountain King. As the curtain falls,
the orchestra takes up the slow plzct
cato movement of Grieg's fourth num
ber to his first auite. It represents the'
dance of the Trolls or weird goblins of
Norwegian roiK lore, ins heavy steps

mented on highly. It has now been
played In public in Berlin with Schar
wenka's pupil, Martha Siebold as solo
ist and tne Berlin Philharmonic orches
tra as accompanist with Mr. Schar
wenka handling the baton. This is ths
fourth of his concerts and it is said
to be of unusual merit.
The music at ths First M. E. church
today will be as follows: Morning
Organ Finale in D Minor (Matthews);
anthem, "I Will Extoll Thee" (Costa);
other numbers they will play a work by
the Russian composer, Arensky, con
sisting of a romance, waits and polo
naise. In the form of a suite. At a for
mer concert these gifted girls played a
trio with violin and cello entirely from
memory, which at once stamps them as
musicians of exceptional accomplish
ment.. The concert will be looked for
ward to with great interest.
Mrs. Helen Lytle-EMs writes to her
teacher, Mrs. Rose Coursen-Reed, that
she la in New York enjoying ths grand
opera with Mrs. Lulu Dahl-Mlller. Mrs.
Miller is with the Fiitzl Scheff opera
company and has been taking a short
rest before the first performance of

tain rises again, it is on the assembly
of the Troll king's goblin court, a
scene which has been compared to the
eelebrated Walpurgls revelries in the
"Brocken Scene" of "Faust.'! Grieg's
"Hall of the Mountain King" is again
used in this scene to accompany the
oanr oi ine imps and eives.
When Pesr awakens from his Troll

home to his mother, Ase, whom he finds
dying, and this scene between mother

as the auditor listens he readily un

which is played before and at the and
of the scene.

An expert, in the London Building
World, says that the sound of the piano
next door may be deadened by erecting
a wooden screen in rront or tne party
wall, leaving a three inch cavity which
would be filled with slag wool. The
screen oould be papered over so as to
represent a wall as before. An easier
way Is to fill the player with slug shot,
or else go home only when your neigh-
Dor is out. Musical courier,

pressed the desire to let avery choral

This should serve as an incentive for
better work among the smaller chorus

bane of united musical undertakings.
IQPIT2NER SOCIETY
WJ Opens Its Season
Th. Spltzner Philharmonic concerts
are always a welcome figure on the
season's program and they deserve the
large encouragement they receive. The
organization is particularly commend
able in that it pretends to be nothing
more than it is. It is composed of
amateur musicians and is formed to
five them experience in ensemble work.
1. O. Spltsner, violinist, is the director,
but membership is by no means limited
to his pupils. The organization grows
larger each year, and, I might add, bet
ter. There is another reason why this so
ciety is a public good. Besides helping
the amateur musician to get some idea
of orchestral work it gives the masses
a chance to hear good music that is
within their means. Most or tne pest
music that comes to us is beyond the
means of many people. Farther than
that, it is beyond the interest of many.
But Mr. Spitzner's orchestra comes
within the means and interest of almost
everyone, and the concerts are about as
crowded in- attendance as any of the
most fashionable of the entire season.
He has the art of making them popu
lar in their atmosphere without lower
ing the tone of the program played.
Thev are given on Sundays, that tho-
who cannot attend on weekdays may
hava this onnortunitv.
The first concert of the sixth season
will be given next Sunday afternoon at
the Heillg theatre. The orchestra of
95 pieces will play compositions by
Puccini, Lachnor, Victor Herbert. Bar
tholomv and SDttzner. Miss Velross
Sharp and Miss Nina Nlcklin, both Mr.
Spitzner's pupils, will be the soloists.
RIMA DONNA IS
Orchestral Leader
Miss Wynn Coman has just returned
from a trip through the northwest with
Madame Nordica, who will sing here
next Thursday evening at the Heillg.
She tells of many interesting incidents
on the trip, which were not given for
publication, but which show so well the
human side of the great prima donna
that I can not resist teling of them
here.-
Mnriame Nordica in a sinrer who. With
all the laurels she. has won, the world
over, never depreciates honest admira
tion. Hue sang in gunman, wmn.,
distinctly college town, Thanksgiving
night. She sang in the college hall, and
the concert followed upon the big foot
ball game between Washington State
college and Whitman college. College
spirit was running rampant in the
town, but it was not too wild to be
checked by this queen of song, Time,
after time she was brought back with
the most insistent pneores, and it is
safe to say that the students would like
to have adopted the methods used
toward the winning team ana carried
this victor off the stage on their
shoulders.
Madame Nordica gave a Thanksgiving
dinner in her private car entertaining
the members of her company and Miss
Coman. In the midst of their dinner
they heard a big tumult, and the ma
dame raising her window found that the
Whitman special had pulled up alongside
her car and the team, the college men
and girls, and the Whitman faculty
wrm unltinar in cheerlno- the diva. She
Insisted on having a Whitman flag
found at once, and it was tan en rrom
the decorations of her car, and standing
full in the window she waved it to the
heartiest cheering. When the Pullman
men came around later In the evening
and serenaded her in her car the fault
of fickleness troubled her not a whit,
and she waved a Pullman pennant just
as vigorously.
In Seattle the other day she sang with
the Seattle orchestra at its first formal
appearance this season. The players
were naturallv nervous at the rehearsal.
and the leader seemed in the same pre
dicament. When they oegan tne accom
Daniment for Elsa's tone Madame Nor
dica unconsciously kept time, but the
players went to pieces worse and worse.
Finally the diva in the sweetest -tone
possible asked if she might suggest a
correction or two. These were mode,
and more followed, till the score had
been practically made over in the ap
proved Wagnerian style, and the men
were playing like inspired souls, watch
ing her with astonishment as she uncon
sciously swayed in time and hummed
with them till occasionally the spirit of
the music would get the better of her,
and she would burst forth Into magnifi
cent tones that stirred the echoes
throughout the empty building. And
the meri -stared at her In wonder and
admiration, 'and several were heard to
say later that she was a born orchestral
leader and should have undertaken that
work as a profession:

cause she has a natural voice, not be
cause, she has been trained to sing, and
throughout her work there is a touch
of unspoiled nature. - There is never
too much polish, and yet one does not
feel that polish is lacking. Miss Alleen
Webber accompanied Miss Dahl and
played with intelligence. " ' '

TENOR MAY MAKE
Home in Portland
Otto F. L. Herse, the concert ballad-
Ist, now touring the Pacific northwest,
has been engaged to give a recital in
the English Lutheran church. West Park
and Jefferson streets, Tuesday even
ing. Mr. Herse is recognised as a tenor
of prominence on the concert stage.
Portland will be. his headquarters for
the next month or so and It may become
his permament home. Speaking of a re
cital In California, the Daily Eureka
Times says: "Otto F. T.. Hrrao rave
a most pleasing concert at the Ingomar
last nignt and those who braved the
rain were treated to a delightful mimic

mat no tenor applies a sweeter, mora
caressing or clearer, cleaner tone to
ballad singing. The singer manifested
excellent Judgment In the selection of
his program, choosing songs and bal
lads admirably adapted to his vocal
style. In such numbers as Bonds' "Just

Clearing the Sea of Derelicts.
From the New Tork Tribune. "
No country in the world does so much
to protect ocean borne commerce from
loss by collision with derelicts as does
the United States. For many years it
haa published a monthly chart of the
North Atlantic, which includes among
numerous - items of useful information
for mariners the locations of all dere
licts according to the latest reports. For
many years it was the custom to give
naval vessels and their officers and
craws an opportunity to see active serv
ice by pursuing the elusive derelict
with the object of destroying it. The
famous dynamite destroyer Vesuvius
was among those that used to get a lit
tle guri practice with a derelict as the
target. For two years the revenue cut
ter Mohawk has been doing duty as a
derelict destroyer, with Buch success
that the November hydrographic chart
shows no derelict reported more than
once, or earlier than September 30. On
the oil charts It was not unusual to
find .several reports of the same dere
iict ranging over a period sometimes of
more than a year.
In the course of a few days the
Seneca, a vessel built especially for put
ting these lingering victims of the wrath
of Father Neptune out of existence,
will go into commission. This vessel to
the first built for such a purpose in the
world. In general appearance she will
resemble the ocean going revenue cut
ters of the United States, but will have
two funnels to distinguish her from the
cutters. She will be provided wltn tor
pedoes and gun for firing explosive
shells, and powerful towing apparatus
for towing any wanderer, not too far
gone; into a haven of safety.
Tne government has also found a use
for wireless telegraphy in the protec
tion of commerce from derelicts and ice
bergs. A few days ago the hydro
graphic office on Broad street recrlved
a wireless message from the steamer
Caracas, which had sailed couple ef
days before for Porto Rico. The mas
ter of the ship reported passing- th
sodden : bulk of the schooner Howard
Compton of Philadelphia and nave th.
latitude and longitude and the hour.
The stubbed remains Of the foremast -were
still standing and the wreck wne
"dangerous to navigation." ' In the
course of a few hours the message was
thrown to the four winds from several
of the 23 government wireless telegraph
stations scattered along the Atlantic
and Gulf coasts for. the information of
all vessels equipped with . wireless re
ceiving apparatus.
Three times a day at eight-hour inter
vals, the hours being C a. m., 2 p. m.
and 10 p. m., wireless messages are
sent broadcast. A vessel at other times
mav call up these stations and obtain
information. The Seneca will be
equipped with wireless telegraph appa
ratus no that reports may be. rc.!lvd
from shore and from passing vessels.
Russia Probes Aviation.
The Russian government has con

AN FRANCISCO IN
United Choral Effort
-a
San Francisco Is in earnest about its
effort to unlto the musical cult of that
city toward a common end. Some time
ago the question of annual festivals at
the Greek theatre of the University of
California waa broached and it haa met
with so much sympathy and Interest on
every side that it Is safe to predict
success. San Francisco can pretty
nearly always be relied upon to carry
through whatever musical thing It un
dertake It is a musical city -with
musical discretion-and within the past
few years it has taken Drestise as a
city that can form Its own musical
opinions opinions which can be de
pended on by others.
A mass meeting for the proposed fes
tival haa been called for January- 7,
and to make the reoresentatlon larger
and more general a' oommittee of about
it comprising the chorus and choir di
rectors of the city will send out the In
vitations. Thus almost all the sincere
of the city will be reached. Hundreds
of requests for invitations have already
been aent in, The membership, by th
way, will be limited to choir and choral
singers and to advanced students so
that there will be no figureheads. It
ts expected that thruf from 4800
to 2000 voices will be formed.

at Arion hall by Miss Olivia Dahl,
the Norwegian singer, which was well
received indeed. ' Miss Dahl is an artist
of a good deal of merit Her voice
ts not the only feature of her work;
she marks her Interpretations with
such intelligence and taste, and her
race in singing is so expressive of the
thought that one Is constantly in sym
pathy with her work.
Sunday Bight she seemed to be at
her best In the Swedish and Norwegian
folk songs, but that may have been
partly because her audience (was al
most entirely of the Scandinavian ele

them with little foreign accent and
with a great deal of appreciation and
understanding. A charming French
song w added to her program,- She.
