10 THE OMAIIA DAILY 2)jGyi3 ) : WEDNESDAY , MAY 1 , 1805 , s mmf r rirrrfraj Music. ' \ . . > 4 ( HJIl'-d by Mrn. Jllriam Clincc KorJ. ) Q Sife difj .Hyuj WJ OSXSCXDGXS * JM.MM.sr. -A - . . . When the wlnda of the morning were first loosed by God , and lea | > cil like hounds from the leash , they harked through the spaces between the worlds In search of mysteries. In their searching they came upon all the things that were. Stars that were blue as forged steel , those red as blood , the ringed worlds , the yellow suna In their solitudes , they raged upon , searching. They knew each world In the amazing mesh of world * , and the knowledge of men to the men of each world a different knowledge yet each consistent with all the rest. And they knew other thing * , not known to men. For they knew the mysteries. And at these men only guess , fearfully , crossing themselves , and praying the unknown for mercy. In the gray shadow of cold stars , the winds came upon the Discords , huddled In the chill , waiting for souls to bs born on the planets , that they might find a medium for their voices. For In that space where they dwelt was no sound at all , but only ths el- Unce of God. The Discords writhed here al ways , torn and tortured for lack of outcry. And up and down. In long ahafts of sunlight , reaching to the central sun , the Harmonies moved , they also In torment because of the curse of silence , and waiting tor a soul to voice that which beat against the stillness I. 1 VoBa MuHmrrled through thla white vast . toward the habitation of men to nil the body of a new born babe , but all the crew set on U , wrestling for the mastery. It was one of tha mysteries that the Discords were stronger than the Harmonies , and the tri umph was oftcnest with them , They slew so many Harmonics , dropping them clown to the nothingness between the spheres , that on many planets the laws of man and even of nature seemed awry , and men marveled , knowing not the signification. Soul after soul went to Its body , dragging the foul Discords which clung to them as monsters of the sea cling to dead men. And these Discords preyed upon the noulj. and aucked the sweet from them' , and swayed the bodies of men with black passions , leaving "I * " * 'heir taccs iiorry marks of. aln. twisting lips Into ssn- euousness , turning brows craven , and blearing eyes with looks of dark deceit. Some times. It Is true , a gentle Harmony nlipped by IU op-wnents unaware , and held by the soul summoned for Its mortal mission , the being It In and so made lite lovelier for habited. But only once In a full round ot time did a great Harmony break through the black band that barred Its way , and merge Into what men call living. When such an one did find a voice through any human creature on any world , then men all listened , and found fair names by which to call these happy beings. Some they called poets. some teachers , some the mother ot men. and some they called the makers of S ° The winds know all this. The winds Icnew all things. And they came In time to hold their part In this mystic war. The black winds of destruction and of nlgnt fought with the Discords , and the blossom- buratlng winds , the whlto and perfumed Borvltora of the Dawn , were with theHar monies. Swaying flgurea filled all the Vast. The conflict raged round all the solar soli tudes. In the scorching nebulae of a yet unrounded star the bittlo reached Its deadly height , anil a great whlto wind from the farthest chambers of the holy East drove back the Discords In the molten world. Then , through the blur of warring spirits , a swift soul wont In proud ! obedience to a call from Earth. And seven Harmonies raced after It Impetuously possessed with a Jlvlno madness for utterance. Seven fair Harmonics ono for song , and ono for In struments of wind , and one for Instruments , of the drawn strings , and ono for those of keys of ( very on resonant boards of brass ono for harmony of speech , another for bar inony of thought , and one sureno past man a dlvlncst dreams , for harmony of lifo all these swept downward with the Journey ng soul and raarta such sweetness In their going that men a'tolllng on the sorrowful earth paused and listened amazed , not knowing what the Bwcotness meant. . . . . The Harmonies , the soul and a delicate young body bccamo as ono , and people called It Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Ho smiled la his mother's eyes when she sang , and lay tranced when his father made music on In Btruments. "This llltlo child. " the old woman said "Is forever hearing the angels sing. " Ills baby hands brought mcloJy out 0 the. plaiw. At flvo hn had not only learned to read the signs by which men mark music , but ho had himself written a con certo which was too difficult for ordinary players to perform. Ills llttlo hands leaped from octave to octave , and men wept at the revelation. When a violin was placed la hl3 hands ho who had never held a bow drew syrlc sounds from the rcspouden' "Ono "need not study to play this thing , ' 'ho said. "It is llko talking , and If yoi listen you will hear that tones are as thos. ot the human voice. Surely any ono can J play this. Ilia body was flvo years old then. Thos who listened never guessed how old wer the Harmonies dominating him. They wen unmerciful , these Harmonies , and gave hln no rest. Awed at a genius he could no understand hla father resigned , his place a court musician that ho might attempt t guldo this marvelous exuberance. At si 1 Mozart amazed the Viennese court by hi playing , and Marie Antoinette who wa. born , poor lady , for the Furies to tear , though she dU not guess It then held him In her anna and ! hissed him. Men applauded the , strange boy In th. greatest cltlea of the world Paris , Vienna. London. Prague. Kings showered him with favora. It was only becoming. In fact. ' that the finite should pay tribute to tha In finite. At thirteen , as men couut years , this lad nan an honorary member ot tha i academies ot Bologna and Verona and had received an order to write hla opera of "Mlthrldates. " which was successfully pro duced at Milan. This was the beginning ot Italy's devotion to him and of bis adoration ot Italy. Ho wrote unatlntlngly for the Italians. Praise , happiness. concorJ these were , the. things which lila whole nature craved. Ho found them In Italy , laud of lovu and t 11 Bel Canto. In Franco there was frivolity , and be was not at ease. Their nuiilc. he said , had no God In It. Ho , so far as he was concerned , had no choice but to write a * If each Una were to be dedicated to the Moat High. "I have aueh a aenae ot religion. " he wrote. "that I shall never do anything I would not da before the \\hole world. " Poverty was with htm If ha had notlcid It. But he saw not the things that perish. Ho did. however , see the love that looked through tha eyes ot Conatanca Weber , and he > mar ried her , hla music gaining A deeper note In con&oquence. The king of Prussia offered him high positions. He refused. He could not work for wealth. Tha harmonies held him fast. He was their servitor. In the brief day of llf there wat not time enough Jo express one tltho ot that which It nas ' their mission 'to proclaim. So thty crowded each other for utterance. It might bo cycles upon cycles before they could again find a being through whom they could sprak. Day and night , he hardly sought his pillow. He le only when food was placed before him by one- more thoughtful ot his needs than he was hlmsrlf. He sung out his soul la nuses , ha whispered ot love In lyrics , he expressed ths- moods ot hla heart In operas , sonata * and symphonies. The Harmonies loved order , se quence and the technique of music aa much sg the stress and rcit&cy of It. It as s part , therefore , of his beavcuty Usk la de velop the vcleace. . as wtll th * emotional rxprcfatou ot his art. Thepresrlenc ; cf brlel lUlug urged him to furious labors. The Har monies wer ever driving him. snd would not let htm rest. No sensuality , no riotous living , chtstlna ; or meannens was poulble U > him. The great sweet Harmony ot beautiful llrlnn kept hlov unspotted from , theworl.l. . He did not know It , yet he was king of Prague , em peror ot Vienna , Other rnlera were forgottn when th composer of "The Marriage ol Fiffaro. " of "Don Oolivarml , " of "The Magic Flute" or "Idomwiea" was mentioned , People howered him with Jewels which h panned tor bread. They carried him on their shoul- flars to but lodging from wnenc ? h crept to beg for food. Managers built new opera houses from the profits of hj | Ubars , for which he received a pittance which he give to those In neal. The Harmonies would not let him taks cognizance of wealth , or place , or poace. Their eternal message for man after black centuries of silence at last made audlblo was Imperative. He bowed Ills head to the storm of their passion , and let It sweep over him. Whatever Is most exquisite ls most sad. It Is the law of nature that rapture vibrating round Its perfect circle shall meet with pain. Love , at Its best , melts In tears. Tears at their blttersst find God's pure Joy. And thus It carro that the Harmonies , ever striving through this body for their suprcmoU ex pression , reached at the ctlmnx the great moan that men call Mo/irt's Requiem Mass. It was the proce-sslonal hymn by which souls equipped for death might march Into the presenceof the * Mystery. It was the ladder of sad song by which the scrrowful could climb beyond the grief before , th ? grave , to the peace beyond It. It mourned with all who had ever wept. It sighed with all who have doubtMl. and prayed , and en.lured. Its perfect tempo , steady , unfaltering , marked the rhythm by which the emotions of the human heart passed this "Master of those whose who know. " The Harmonies , filled with such rapture as the Immortal spirits know , did their utmost. The tension of toll with Mozart was at Its tightest. MuMc reached Its apex. Mozart lay dead , with the Requiem Mass In hU haad. In the wonder and trajesty of the night the Harmonies went their way. Their flight left a quiver ot light , like that a burning meteor streaks across the affrighted sky. The soul went to the Qrrl who give It. And the body was tumbled In a paupr'g grave. Dark and cold was the day. The wind blew In wild gusts. The weeping wife had not a kreutzer with which to bury him she loved. Ths man ho had made rich wept Judas teara about th ? streets , yet refused to give him a decent burial. "Any coaches or mourners coming. " asked Frau Katha , the old mendicant at the ceme tery , of the driver of the hc.irse. The man sneered and shrugged his shoulders. "Whom have you got the/e ? " "A bandmaster. " "A musician ? They're a poor lot ; then I've no money to look for today. H Is to be hoped wo shall hava better luck in the morn Ing. " The driver laughed bitterly. "I'm devilish thirsty , too not a kreutzer for drink money. " He sullenly dragged the coffin from the hearse and shoved it Into the grave. It al ready had two occupants a street laborer and a midwife. No stone marks the spot. The body has been forgotten. But the labors of the Harmonies are among the deathless things. And whenever a man can fittingly reproduce them all discord dies In the air , tha souls of those who listen be come as whiteas a child's and the melody lifts men Into a world where sin and greed are not , and where Harmony Is prfect the harmony which Includes all things.

That all the brilliant singers of the Metro politan Opera oomp-iny may come Eg.iln i.ext season Is the wish of all who lave music , and as a matter of course , there were some dis appointments and perhaps some Decision for criticism , but there was also ample reason for praise. The constellation of stars did not differ greatly from those observed In last season's firmament ot song. Calve was missIng - Ing and the management said that she was their bread and butter last year. Neither was La Salic thsre , but Tamagno and Maure came In their stead. The De Reskes have been growing so rapidly In art and also In public esteem that none name them but to praise. The visit of Maurc ) , In connection with the company , was ono of the most Interesting features of the recent season Nothing could possibly bs finer than his lago or his Falstaft. Of Melba. Games , Nordlca and Scalchl It Is Impossible to speak save In terms of enthusiasm. And then there vtan Mantclll , who , though very young , possesses great dramatic ability and a charming voice , Without a doubt she will be heard from In the front ranks at no distant day. Added to this list of celebrities were Bauermelster , Mile , do Vlgne , M. Plancon , Ancona and others of no small ability. This well balanced organization began th season In Chicago at the Auditorium. Marcl : 11 , with Meyerbeer's snperb classical work "Les Huguenots , " and closed March 30 , with a benefit for Tamagno , when Trovatore wa given. The orchestra was very fair , thougli not as good as last season , when augmented by the 'Thomas orchestra. It consisted of a more promiscuous lot this year , brought on from New York. The Omaha people will recall our artlstl friend and violinist , Nahan Franko , who heli the responsible position of concert master. Probably the greatest disappointment wat the failure to give "Die Melsterslngcr , " whlcf was to have been produced on the Monday of the last weefr , but "owing to the Indls position of Mr. Jean de Reszke , " they gav Carmen on short notice , with de Lussan a Bizet's heroine. One of our best musl critics of Chicago was heard to say ( as to thi way the opera was rendered ) that It mlgh better have been called "Escamlllo an MIchneta ! " Ed de Reszke net : only took th baritone part , but sang It , and Melba wa Mlchaela. Tuesday evening of the last week a doubl bill was presented. "Lucia , " with Melba. Iljuermelstcr , Rlnnldlnl and Russltano In leading parts , and "Cavallcrla. Rustlcana , " \\ltli Heller and Tamagno. After the mad scene Melba received an ovation , having to appear eight times and Heller and Tamagno , both In fine voice , were recalled again and again. At the Wednesday matinee Lohengrin was given , with Nordlca and Mantelll , Plancon , Ancona and Jean de Reszke. Nordlcu'g versatility la surprising , she being able to exalt you with the grandeur of a Wagnerlan heroine , or set you laughln ? with a , playful ballad , and da both with consummate art and completeness , Wednesday evening. In. the "Nozie dl Figaro , " ile Lussrxn made her best hit. being compelled to respond to several encores after singing "Vol che Sapete. " Her stage pres ence Is captivating. Thursday evening Verdi's masterpiece , "Atda , " was given. This opera Is Indeed a moat musical and dramatic pro duction , and with its superb stage setting and One ballet It w4 a rare treat. Nordlca was the Ethiopian slave , Tamagno , Radamas and Ancona , Amonasro. Hero Nordlca. and Tamagno displayed to their fullest extent their skill as artists , and the duets between Aids and Amnerla were fine. FrliLiy evening Gounod's "Romeo nml Juliet" was given In French. This Is one of the roost complete ot operas as well aa one that has had brilliant success , and It was not only well song , but the acting ; of Jean do Reszko as Romeo nml Ramos aa Juliet was superb. Eames Is a star of great prominence and a woman of remarkable beauty and refinement. The duets ol Romeo and Juliet wcro great. Thla opera needs acquaintance to bo appreciated. The music U well worthy the- drama , and apropos of the interest taken in our "Fencers Club , " It was most Interesting' to see the do Hzkes use their swonls such grace and skill ! They are such giants , and their awards seem correspondingly * long. In "Romeo and Juliet. " where Stephano ( Mile , de Vlguc ) starts the quarrel and Mercutl draws his sword and Interrupts the com bat Romeo xteps between and the tilt be comes very exciting and Interesting. Saturday afternoon Faust vas given. This worlr gave to Gounod universal fame and commands a place among the highest creations of modern times In the art nf romantic , opera. The setting , ot the work was a dream anj the ballet was marvelous In graceful effects. Magnlru niaie an ex cellent Faust. Rd do KcKzke's demoniacal MepMstopbles Is perfect and hi * fine rendi tion of the "Calf of OoH. " while not a musical melody , Is so thoroughly dramittlo that It took the audience fairly oft It * feet , while his great laugh two octaves Hi ex tent when he conquers Fau l Is thrilling. Melba , without ft doubt deserves thb of honor among iho women singers of the pi t season , She -wan a perfect Marguerlto anil sang gloriously , receiving an oration nftor the "Jewel Bong. " She was well sup ported by Scnlclil. wlio inUPS nu Ideal Llebel. Though man/ are heard to say they do not llko Scalchl's voice or style of singing , they mar begin to criticise and compare when they get a contralto to rival tier and touch our lienrta as she docs. | Saturday evening was ail extra and fare well performance and also a bcnnflt for Tftmagno. Trovatore was given. This cre ation of Verdi's appeals to the popular ear and has become familiar to a wider field than perhaps nny other operatic production. Its fame largely rests upon Its pleasing melodies. Nordlca was the Lenora , Tamagno Manrlco. and Mantclll , Azucena. Tamagno's climaxes are great and In "Dr. Juetla I'lra. " the Ugh C as ho takes It Is something marvelous. Ho was compelled to respond to three encores. Mantclll mada much of and looked the part of the "Gypsy Hag" and these who had the good fortune to hear this opera will not soon forget her Impressive singing of the closing duet with TaniaRiio , "Homeward Returning.

ImprcflMnnii nml CrltlclmnR of the Season lif Onn nf Oiiinlm'ft Yoiinu V.'onicn. NEW YORK , April 25. 1393. The musical season was begun on November 19 by a fine performance of "Romeo and Juliet , " with Marie Melba and Jean De Ileszke In the title roles , and of "Othello , " In which Tamagno's Immense dramatic power showed him at his best as the Jealous Moor. These operas , to gether with "Les Huguenots , " "Faust" and "Don Giovanni , " with their Ideal casts , have made this one of the most brilliant seasons of Italian opera New York has ever had. Some Interesting- modern works have also been produced ; among which wcrcthreo novel ties , St. Suen's "Samson et Dellla , " Verdi's "Fnlstaff , " In which Maurel created a great furore In Paris , and Bemberg's draa.nllke "Elaine. " "Die Mclsterstnger , " In which the brothers De Heszke , Emma Eamcs and Plancon sang , was superior to the German production with Rothmuhl , Gadskl nnd Emll Fischer , although no basso can rival Fischer. It Is unfortunate that Sybil Sanderson could not have been heard In her dainty opera "Manon. " In a smaller opera house. The Metropolitan puts even the greatest voices tea a severe test , and neither Miss Sanderson's style nor her beautiful voice are large enough for Its barn-like dimensions. There was a good deal of conjecture whether the German opera would be a suc cess , after this remarkable season of Italian opera. But all doubt was soon settled by the subscription list of $50.000 and the large and enthusiastic houses , which , musically , wcro superior to those of the preceding season. This was the more remarkable , be cause , with three or four exceptions , the singers at the Wagner festivals were mediocre , and the sJago settings In marked contrast to the sumptuousness of the Italian season. The great performance was "Tristan and Isolde , " In which Herr Alvary and Frau Sucher sang with that tremendous dramatic power and artistic finish that make Wagner's operas sung by German artists so overpower ing. Herr Alvary's 100th performance of "Siegfried , " the part which he created for America and In which ho made his first great success on the same stage , was the occasion for a testimonial of the affectionate admira tion of New York for his wonderful voice and art. Frau Sucher Is a powerful actress and the greatest living Isolde , but her voice shows tha wear ot years of singing Wagner. Herr Fischer repeated his former flno Interpreta tion of Wotan , King Marks and Hans Sachs ; and Frauleln Marie. Brema made , many ad mirers with her superb mezzo soprano voice and her enthusiastic acting. Frauleln Johanna Gadskl has a baautlful voice and sings the higher soprano role's , Elsa , Eliza beth and Selgleunde , well , though without much force. The Philharmonic orchestra , lead by Anton Seldl and the Symphony society , led by Walter Damrosch , hara produced several new works this winter ; among them Tschalkow- skl's mournfully beautiful symphony Path- clique ; Dvorak's symphony "From the New World ; " McKcnzle's overture , based on the old song , "Itule Brltan , " the fnnorat music composed by Wagner after melodies from Euryanthe , for tha burial of Von Weber. At the third symphony concerts parts of Mr. Damrosch's new opera , "The Scarlet Letter , " which was highly spoken of by musicians , were given. The society waa assisted by Mme. Nordlca. Slgnor Campanarl , Mme. Buchnell and the Oratorio society , -which In turn assisted the Symphony society at the sixth concert in giving "Parsifal. " It Is said by those who have heard this opera at Bayreuth that Mrs Damrosch's leading of the choruses and band has not been surpassed there. Frauleln Urema , who sang Kundry at Bayreuth last summer , repeated her great success on this occasion ; and Mr. Plunket Greene's Gurnemanz and Amfortas were much more satisfactory than Herr Kothmuhl's Parsifal. The Oratorio society has given three excellent concerts , beginning with the "Creation" In November , when the choruses wcro finely done , and Herr Fischer's singing of the bass solos was as artistic as every thing ho does. But Miss Lillian Blauvelt's style and voice were too small for the de mands of the soprano part. S The regular Christmas performances of the "Mesalah" were also fine. Mme. Nordlca , Miss Dcvrlcns. Mr. David Henderson and Mr. Watlclns Mills sang the solos. On April 13. Bach's Pastlon music was given magnifi cently by ths chorus and band , but very poorly by the soloists. Mr ? . Genevra Johns- stona Bishop. Mrs. Carl Alves and Arthur Beresford , all of whom sang with very inadequate - adequate style and no regard whatever for key. Mr. Albert Thles sang ths difficult reci tations of the evangelist well , and Mr. Wil liam A. Howland hail tha minor bass parts which he sang with dignity and force. Of the smaller events of the winter , the Mtiflcal Art society , a chorus of fifty pro fessional singers , led by Mr. Frank Dam rosch. dejerres first mention. Although only In Us second teason , this chorus Is already considered to do the finest ensemble Ringing In the country , and renders In the most finished nnd artistic manner , the severest motets and choruses of classic music , from Palestrlna. who was master of the Vatican choir , In 1571 , and the first great composer of church music , down to Peter Cornelius , the pupil and friend of Liszt and Wagner. At the last concert Mr. Greene and Mies Bremn sang * om ? ot the old German song * and Mlnnelleder.with the beautiful articula tion anil taste that made their song- recitals TO popular. They have sung also , many old English and Irish ballads , specially arranged for them by VIIUrs-Btanford , moat delight fully. Tha assistance ot the bett accom panist In the country. Mr. Walter Damrosch , added nut a little to these recitals. The concert * of the great Belgian violinist , Y aye , were well attended by moat enthusi astic audiences. He plays with startling bril liancy ol technique , and with more feeling ttiia Oesar Thomson , who Is also very popu lar. Of th "Infant phenomena , " New York. has had It * full share In Jean Gerardy. Juanlto , Manen and I'reila Slmnnson , about whom there have been the usual number of superlatives , and who deserved them all.
