Dawn," will hav lt premier
In Chicago early next season.
It will be played by the Chi

direction ot Frederick Stock. Follow

by the St. Paul and Minneapolis sym

tually here. !
Portland will watch with keenest
Interest its impresiflon for Mr. Rlcb
ter Is the blind Portland composer
pianist, born and raised here, the son
of Mr. and Mrs. T. MV. Rlchter, of
322 Falling street.
Young; Rlchter has devoted much
of his spare time during the past two
years to- the composition and orches
tration of the symphony. In addi
tion he has concertlzed some and
taught piano and coached. The strain
taxed his endurance and a break
down was feared some months ago,
hut now that the work Is complete
he is well and looking forward eager
ly to the happy moment of the
rendition of his work by the famous
Chicago organization
However, two years is not a long
period of time for the composition
of a symphony. Many of the stand
ard works were In the making much
longer.
The orchestration was more tedious
than may be imagined for he had
to - dictate the score to his father,
who took down the notes on a record
ing machine for transcription. The
orchestration was built from the pi
ano score, worked out in every de
tail. During the past year the com
poser has kept himself practically In
seclusion to finish his most ambi
tious work, i
"From Darkness to Dawn" depicts
the life . and struggles and the joys
and final- triumph of this marvel
ously gifted young musician. The
story the symphony tells is as fol
lows: The "introduction" oescriDes
the Kearch for knowledge. The first
subject of the first movement proper,
represents the mental struggles of a
youth, desirous to strive for higher
ideas, allegro ma non troppo. After
a short development of the first
theme, the music describes youth
and poetry as Joyous as the former is
serious. Then follow a series of
mentnl trannltlons. Obstacles, grow
ing In proportion, are battled with
end are gradually overcome. Next Is
a romanre. Andante Cantabile, to 11
liiBtratn a romantic mood, acting as
a dlverwlon from the more serious.
After this mood, with Its dramatic
and Joyful 'jualitles, has "been de
fined, he returns to the development
of the two matn subjects previously
referred to, depicting greater obsta
cles, which are finally mastered. Ac
cording to form, the second subject
or - theme of youth, reoccurs preced
ing a counter theme, defining more
mental transitions, doubts, etc Fi
nally the Introductory motive Is re
peated, and the movement closes
with three long sustained chords,
making the definition of the repeated
motive more clear; the whole seem
ing to, say, "The goal for which I
have been striving Is not yet
reached."
The second movement, Andante
opens with an Introduction modulat
ing from the key In which the first
movement closed. Into the key In
which the first 'subject 'proper Is
written. The reason for this modu-'
lation is not merely to please the lis
tener. It represents a change from a
very serious mood to an extremely
Joyous one. Although the first sub
ject proper in a ong-Uke melody
played by the cellos, written in the
tempo already given, it does not pos
sess one tinge of sadness, but rath
er represents youth, with all its
courage to do and strive, as well as
its romantlo fancies In a semi-lyrlo
manner. After this subject is de
veloped, making clear to the cultured
muslo lover the variations and Im
pulses of this Joyous mood, the au
thor depict Mrs. Alma A. Rogers,
to whom the symphony is dedicated,
telling him a story of chivalry. This
story is partly told in a melody writ
ten as a violin solo, and if one
traces the rythm of the first meas
ure and a half carefully, the words,
"In the Time of Chivalry," will be
heard. First a noble klnght is re
ferred to, in the brass poco plu
mosso, followed tempo prlmo by his
ladies' motive (as It la titled in the
score). Then the knight Is depicted
preparing for a tournament, the An
dante, being led into "Tempo dl
Marcia." Ills lightfooted charger is
heard galloping to the place of battle.
other' knights with steeds equally
agile meet him, and all ride to tne
field In & body. During the time the
galloping Is heard in the cellos and
basses, a "Merry Song is taken by
two muted trumpets. Then the mur
muring of spectators comes nearer
and nearer, until the trumpet sounds.
telling the anxious crowd that the
knights to be seen in .the first com.
bat have arrived. After a few sua
talned chords played pianissimo, an
other trumpet sounds and the com
bat begin. Clashing of weapons - is
heard, until a grand climax is
reached, and during the knight's mo
tive (thet first knight of the story
having been victorious), the second
subject proper of this movement is
heard, representing Joy and self-con
fldence. After this subject the first
theme Is developed portraying more
variations of Joy, and according to

form, the second subject Is repeated,
and the movement closes very pi
anissimo. The third movement is a Scherzo,
Its first half, reminiscent of some
of the peculiar characters Mr. Rlch
ter met In Vienna, and the second
half representing a good time with
his young friends, including orig
inal tone pictures of native' dances
and a "Merry Chorus" sung , by the
boys.
The last movement opens with an
introductory Adagio, defining the
composer's regret to leave Paris,
whence he returned to Portland. The
beginning of the movement proper.
Allegro con spirlto, represents him
approaching his home town, and his
arrival, and his dearest friends and
parents meeting him. Then the first
subject much like a Grand March, is
heard, and it will be clear to the lis
tener that there is nothing but joy,
an overwhelming happiness, at the
thought of being home once more.
Near the end there is what he calls
Eine Jubel Fuge" then finally thei
'Hymn to Ambition" Is heard, and
the work closes with a grand finale.

Rose Maiden," Is to be presented by

a letter from their sister, Mrs. Lyne,
stating that she and her daughter,
Felice, had passage engaged for six
weeks on the Empress of Ireland,
which went down, but that Henry Rus
sell, whose Boston grand opera com
pany is singing In Paris, wired Miss
Lyne urging them to come on an ear
lier boat, as he wanted her to appear in
several operas there.
So their narrow escape from disas
