'The Orpheus Male j chorus Las a membership of about 1 40 and its first concert this season was a splendid sue cess. i ' Chicago does not like "Prometheus." the Scriabin tone poem that has caused so ' much, discussion in Europe and which was played for the first time in the United States by the Chicago Symphony orchestra at Orchestra hall on Friday afternoon,) j March 6, and .Saturday evening, MaBch 6.' The audi ence even went so 1'ar as to display its disapproval of hissing. The Chicago correspondent of the Musical Courier, commenting on the production, or rather on the composi tion, says: j ; "The verdict of the public vox populi, vox del p'roveld also the voice of the critics. if cacophonous dis cordance and noise which irritates the ear reflects the jnuslQ of tbe ante diluvian days, then Uie Russian com poser has written a work which de scribes moot successfully the chaos of those days; but if music is the art or science of harmonic sounds and melody, Scriabin's output belongs be hind the shelves. It may Be rue that the Russian composer j is 'too far ad- ' vanced' for the present generation of musicians and that his doctrine afid music will be .accepted in years to come, but as the writer is not a reader of the future, the, work is condemned for the present, though later it might be accepted and even praised. Bee thoven was criticized; harshly in his day by drltics whose names made his tory onljy because tiiey refused at the -time to accept ! Beethoven as a genius. Nowadays the musical public looks upon those critics as men who did not understand what music meant, and maybe in one or two generations critics who condemn;; Scriabin today will, be looked upon by their suc cessors as musical ignoramuses. "As th i, writer cannot . very well vio late his . udgment in order to be some day called a wise man or an -'I told you so' p -ophet, he joins in the general disapproval of the work and does not: even accuse the management of the orchestra for having shown lack of in terest by giving the! work without using th, "clavier a Jumieres," which the composer demands in his score. Likewise, a chorus dfnixed voices was also abse it, yet a klnemacolor demon stration of colored ftone and the hum ming of voices could not in any per ceptible degree have changed the ver dict as tendered, 'it might be sa4d. however. In justice to Mr. Stock and his men, that they played assiduously, giving the work an especially good rendition. After being disturbed by th hissing of the audience, the public ' showed its enjoyment in hearing again Stock's 'Symphonic Variations' played superbly by the orchestra. It was re ceived with vociferous applause rrom the hearers," who compelled Stock to bow his acknowledgments again and again," - The evening of violin and piano given by pupils of Frahcfc G.

As custofnarjr for several seasons it will be,mijisic by a band of 32 or 34 pieces. During; the week the city council se lected W. E. McElroy as municipal band conductor for the season and an nounced that the concerjs will egiri somHtime in the; early part of June, the exact date depending somefhat on weather conditions.- ; Th plan is to give 60 concerts, at the riate !of six a week, according to Commissioner Wi ; L. Brewster, who has charge of this feature, Although, the details have not yet been; worked out carefully. As in the past, however, the concerts will be distributed among the various sections faf the cfcty, so that the peo ple ojf each -district may have oppor tunity to! attend without traveling a great distance. - j Parks it which! concerts were given last summer were Washington, South Parkway,! Holladay. Mount Tabor. Laurolhurst, Peninsula, Columbia, Sell wood Terwilligerj and Kenilworth. A coup a of concerts were also given at the Forestry building grounds,! for the benetit of the residents in that section, in tlie immediate vicinity of which there is no publics park. Two Concerts were given at the park at Lents. Director McElroy, who will wield the bator. this season,; conducted the public parK hand concerts in 1912 and 1913, and ;ast season was the : conductor of the band; at the ;Oaks.

Th 'direetojr; says he .will pay his owty way. The chorus would be known as "The Portland' Festival Chorus." i!r. Finleyj who is preparing a chorus for the May music festival hera, in speaking of the proposed trip, said: "If the prize should fall to th chorus it will pay the way of:a!l the members, allow a generous sum for eacli of two: accompanists and the director, with a surplus to carry on the work of the season 1915-1916 and to leln makif the 191 fi May festival a grekter affair than the- 1915 is to be." "The ere is no more uplifting influence thain good njijsic," says the; Los Angeles He -aid. Whether it is sung by ; gifted singers . or iplayed by well trained bards, it is'j ennobling and insspiring. Evin withouit words, the eloquence of music goes Straight to; people's hearts .and makes tetter men or women of thorn. . ' "The warden of the Iowa peniten tia -y has bjrought about the reforma tio i of more! than half of the convicts under his charge by having good music played to them and by teaching them to produce it themselves. 'So interested have they become In th work oj" the great' composers that they devote! part of the earnings they gelj for labpif for the state in bringing batds and jorchestras and singers to perform and; sing for them. vln a fewl years men believed to be hardened criminals have become use- fuli mbitioiis human beings ready to take their pjlaces as good citizens when they are discharged from prison. -Thesc nitfn have simply responded to an Influience that can reach every human being. . "fit should be part of the business pf evry city to provide the people with thrt best m4sic, and free. f Concerts!, both vocal and instru mental, witih programs including both classical and popular music, should bo given at th expense of the city, once, twfce, or even three or fpur times a week. - j i ; jThe publjic response would be im mediate, fofj all peoples are music lov ing, jj IVlth free; public music parents would soon find their children not only ac quiring musical taste, but higher ideals. !'' ' ; : " There would be a rapid rise in the musical standards of the country. More peopl; would learn music! for the pleasure itj j will bring. New, com posers would produce'more and." better music. And much time now wholly wasted by the people would be devoted to in strumental 1 1 and vocal work and ' to bringing music into the homes as well into the Streets and parks. Whatever the cost of free music to municipality, it would be well re paid In a vtery short time. All who have heard the noble music of 'the great geniuses have felt its in spiration. fTo carrr, such an inspiration to all the people means an uplifting of taste and a spur to effort.' It means the awakening iof ambition, and upon the ambition' of: a people depends the fu- tu e of the; nation." .
