THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL. PORTL AND," SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 25, --1917. 6 By J. It. H'alHn. NIESS an extra concert is given. the appearance this afternoon at the Eleventh Street theatre Of the Portland Symphony ur hentr will be the last of the Reason. This In itself would rive the concert especial significance, but of more interest is the fact that the principal offering Is a Portland pro duct, a Portland symphony, written ,' by, a Portland composer and played by' Portland musicians. Seldom ln- deed is a combination of circum- stances like these presented. When Francis Rithter. the blind Portland pianist-composer, was i Germany and France furthering his musical education, for which, by the way, a solid foundation had been laid r . here, he became inspired with the idea of writing a symphony, but lit tle did he dream that it would be ' given to the public fcr the first time -by a regularly established orchestra in bia native city. But Conductor Waldemar Llnd. who will wield the baton this afternoon, has little regard for the old adage that a prophet is not known in his f'own land, and concluded to "run the flak" of having Portland pass opinion on the merits of the work first, and " the composer consented. The decision i - was to present 4he first movement, and if cordially received then the - others can be given later. Members of the orchestra declare that while '; the symphony is difficult and makes : ' extraordinary demands upon their v ability, it is altogether a delightful work and predict a most hearty ap proval on the part of the public. The title of the symphony is "From Dark ness to Dawn," and the story deals ' with the problems of the composer's own life. ' The first movement is of consid-'- erable length and will constitute the ' first half of "the afternoon's program. The second half will be devoted to - the overture to Ambroise Thomas' opera '"Mlgnon," two Mendelssohn " "Batholdy numbers, "Spinning Song" and Scherzo from "Midsummer Night's -Dream." and Alexander Glaaounow'i. "Scenes de Eallet." The concert as usual will begin at J o'clock. A. WunderwaM will be the concert master. Miss Constance Green, one of Mrs. Fred Is. Olson's pupils, sang in de lightful voice "O Soul pf Mine," Barns, and "Thoughts," Sari Souci. at V the meeting of the Coterie club Wed nesday morning at Hotel Multnomah. Miss Green was generously applauded and responded with an encore. Miss Green was presented in recital re- f cently by Mrs. Olson. k It is not very many years ago thut a little girl of 11, while playing in the attic of her home in Brooklyn, found an old vlol'n. It was not much of an instrument, she thought, for three at rings were gone and it was other- i : wise the worse for disuse, but for all of that It wan a violin and it roused In the breast of the child a latent lomg , . lilg to be a musician. (Hucglng her new found prize to her .,, fosom, the little girl carried it down stairs, where she found her father, iO " . whom the violin belonged. Then with - all the solemnity of childhood, she an nounced that she was going to. be a .. irusiclan. And she had her way. The ieult is No-nette, the beautiful young viallnljt and singer, who is one of the headliners ot the Orpheum show start- - ir.g at the Heilig this afternoon. ! Nonette received her first musical It structlon from an old German teach- - er In Brooklyn, then became a pupil of the great Belgian violinist, Tsaye, who "discovered" her. She has played accompaniments for Nordica, Sfchu- . rnann-Helnk and other great artists on tour, and she also has been a featured member of various noted musical or ganizations prior to going into vauJe- ' vtlle. But she still has the violin that he found in the attic of her chlld- hood home, and she prizes it more y- highly than anything else in the world. Anna Case, soprano, member of the .. . Metropolitan opera, in discussing the ential qualifications for becoming b. ' " .... ... . " ... " " V I l ,f .-' i - s , ' -;-s,i 1 i f - ;'; k-' 1 J l V '" "- ' '' an opera singer, gives- some valuable advice when saying: "After the candidate for singing hon ors has had her voice tested by sev eral competent instructors and it Is well to secure several opinions, some from experts who do not teach it will develop that it is either an ordinary voice in quality and other resources. or that it is exceptional. Only the ex ceptional voice, where- there is not great talent In other ways, entitles thj soprano to strive for grand opera. If the instrument- is pronounced fit for grand opera, then there come other matters for consideration. "The most essential are good health and a sound throat, for without them no singer can hope to endure the strain that is Involved in the struggle to make a career in grand opera. It is impera tive, therefore, for the young woman to secure a physician's verdict, as well as that of a thtroat specialist, on her health assets, and If the verdicts be favorable the next important factor requires" attention. "That asset is musical and dramatic Intelligence. And by this is -meant quickness of musical perception, adapt ability to learning music and commit ting it to memory, and a tendency toward acting. Unless one has more than average intelligence, one cannot master the comprehension of music in its broad sense. It is not enough to be able to read with the aid of a piano when playing with one finger. The opera singer who succeeds seldom goes far without something remark- 1WJ Goodrich. The soprano solos were eung by Misses Gnce Dawsou and Tttti JLedwidge. i Miss Dawson was suffer 'ing from a cold, but sang very we'l Vnder the trying circumstances. Miss I edwldge was particularly successim in the brilliant "Gitana" number suns in duet ; with Hugh Kennedy. Mrs. Rose FriedlarGianelli sang the beauti ful number "Alas Those Chimes" with much expression, and - also took pa.it In the dijet "Sainted Mother' with Mise UawselTh tenor work was in the nands of James Flynn, who was for tunate, in having allotted to him tha Tine songs "Let Me Lake a Soldier Fall- and "There Is a Flower That Bloometn." Hugh Kennedy sang the baritone solos and was particularly successful in the song "In Happy Mo ments. The choral work showed fin attack and expression, one of the best numbers being the "Angelus" chorus. Irish songs were also a part of the program in honor of St. Patrick's day. Miss Adele Barnickel and James Flysn were much applauded for their rendi tion of these old favorites. The choir concluded the evening with "The Harp That Once" and "The Star Spangled Hanne,-? One of the big musical events of the week was the presentation of Men. delssohn's oratorio "Elijah" Friday night at the First Methodist Episco pal church, under the direction of Hartridge Whlpp, who also sang the baritone solos. The other soloists were Miss Goldle Peterson and Mrs. Edith Wyckham Densmore, sopranos; Miss Anne Mathlson and Mrs. Mitylene Fra ker Stites, contraltos: Charles Mac- Neill, tenor; Harold Moore, basso. The soloists and the large church choir handled their respective parts splen didly and the affair was a big success in every way. The attendance filled the large edifice. Considering the "inclement weather. the attendance that greeted the trio composed of Mrs. Susie Fennel! Pipes, violinist; Ferdinand Konrad. cellist, and J. Hutchison, pianist, at the Masonic Temple Friday night was Indeed grati fying, although the excellence of the performance warranted a capacltyj house. This was the first appearance this season of the trio now in Its third year. Friday night's program was a genuine treat, handled with the Keenest discrimination , throughout. The individual work of the members of the trio is well known and the en semble was marked by delightful co operation. Johannes Brahms' trio in C major, opus 87, opened the program, and the artistic rendition won for the trio a wave of applause that bor dered on an ovation. The other num bers were Anton Dvorak's trio in F minor, opus 65. and Maurice Ravel's L'Heure Espagnole." . At the Rose City Park M. E. churc'i this afternoon the regular monthly musical program will be given by the chorus of the Central Preebyterlan cnurch under the direction of E. Maid wyn Evans.
