MUSIC.
Thcro arc numerous points of Interest In
the history of the development ot the mod
ern music drama. Whatever may be the
ultimate outcome ot the higher criticism ,
there are some things In Holy writ whosn
truth Is substantiated by experience. Among
these Is the statement , "the first shall be
last and the last first , " for the beginning ot
opera was the construction of a play 'n which
the story was musically told , that Is , sung
and recited. The first opera was composed
by Jacopo Perl In the year 151) ) ! , when , at
the houec ot a nobleman nanvjJ Corel , he cet
to music c. play by Ulnucclnl , entitled
"Daphne. " It was a pronounced success ,
nnd was followed by "Curydlce , " a inuBlco-
dramatlc pastoral , which WES performed In
1GOO at the marriage of Henry IV of France
with Mnrle do Medici , at Florence. The
composer himself sang the part of Orpheus.
The other characters were taken by men
nnd women of the highest families In Italy.
Perl claimed that In studying the drama of
the ancients ho was led. to believe that they
rendered the- lines In a manner midway be
tween song and speech , and In his March for
this middle ground ho Invented what we
recognize as dramatic recitative. The music
wa Intended to add power to the words and
to display emotion. Everything of a musical
nature was secondary to and dependant upon
the dramatic demands of the play , In this
ettnplc manner and with this object , the
opera , as a form ot musical composition ,
came Into being. There "was no thought of
giving the ginger an opportunity to' show oft
his vocal technique , or the , composer to
astonlih the world with perfectly formed
arias and Intricately developed choruses and.
concerted pieces. An honest representation
of dramatic situations and emotions was the
mainspring of the first music drama.
In 1SC8 Hlchard Wagner gave to the world
a work entitled "Oper und Drama , " In which
he argued for a return to the principles
crystallized by Perl In his "Daphne" and
"Eurydlce. " Between 1504 and 18C8 the
word opera had come to mean almost any
kind of a musical performance In which the
paraphernalia of a stage wcs used. During
the eighteenth century singers developed
such wonderful technical skill that the office
of the composer was almost entirely to af
ford them suitable arias wherewith to display
their powers. The drama was of so little
Importance that It was frequently con
structed BO as to glvo the more
influential singers Just such en
trances as they deemed would
bo to tholr own advantage. Duets were
written or not written to please the whims
of singers who desired or feared rivalry and
comparison ; Choruses were Introduced as a
loll for the aria that was to follow ; accom
paniments wore written for these Instru
ments In the orchestra which a singer be-
llovcd to bo moat suitable lo his voice. Slonte-
vcrdo , Scarlatti , Handel , . .LullLottl , Strad-
clla , Carlsslml , Astorga , Chorublnl and oven
Glllck and Mozart catered to the whims and
contributed to the prcstlgo ot the operatic
singer. Glllck , however , possessed such keen
dramatic Instinct that ho could not avoid
composing under the Influence of the situa
tions of the drama. Weber and Moyorbeer
carried forward the good work which he
began , and Wagner , tn his music dramas ,
completely restored the fitness of things
which prevailed In the 'beginning. In oper
atic compositions the first has become the
last.
*
The Importance ot church music to re
Ilglon and to art can hardly bo ovcr-csU
mated. In this country , where concerts are
few , great artists scarce and seldom to be
hoard , and performances generally mediocre ,
. church music Is the most potent musical
educator with which the general public
comes In contact. This being the case , It
Is Important to the development of the art
that It should bo s.a representative as possi
ble of the best that has been accomplished
In Its own domain. Many of the greatest
, composers have written sacred music , and
many others , though not eo great , have fol
lowed so closely In their footsteps that the
world possesses today a vast ctorehouao of
compositions full of genius and merit. This
being the case It Is utterly unnecessary that
church choln should continue to deluge their
congregations with the trash which one BO
constantly hears , and which was composed
coldly to sell. It Is not necessary to sing
Bach , Handel , Beethoven and Haydn In order
to have really merltorlua music. Mozart ,
Mendelssohn , Schubert and a multitude ol
lesser lights have written melodious and
fairly simple sacred music , which would not
\ only thrill the soul and prepare It to under-
etaod the good things In art , but would de
velop true religious feeling and forward the
great cause for which churches exist and for
'which the service of worship was Instituted.

wcro deemed necessary to the propitiation
ot the object of worship the best In rbo
flock or herd , without spot or blemish , was
selected as the offering. If religion means
anything today , If .tho church service Is an
act of worship and not a public performance ,
It Is just as essential now as It was three
or four'thdfcsand 'years ago that the offering
should bo the best that one has , and as the
music Is a part of this offering , It certainly
seems as If It should be so good as not to
constitute a blemish. The ancient spirit ot
religion hardly seems to be alive In tho.hearts
of men when they can express their love to
God through ditties which are not even fit
for a ball room. . HOMER MOORE.

ley , the well known mezzo eoprano , who has
been engaged In this city In church and con
cert work during the past two years , and
will bo remembered as the econd soprano
of Miss Terry's Ladles' quartet. Miss Oak
ley Is eoon to so to Europe to continue her
study ot music , and her magnificent voice
will without doubt give her a high place
among singers when It la developed. She
sang three numbers , ot which the first In
cluded Schubert's "Aufentbalt" and Qrleg'g
"Two Eyes of Brown" and "Sunshine Song. "
The second was "A Summer Night , " by A.
Goring Thomas. The third was a group
ot unusually attractive little songs , Mac-
Dowell'e "Folksong " "And It"
, by Jessie L.
Oaynor , "Allah , " toy Chadwlck , and "Four
Leaf Clover , ' by Whitney Coombs. "Bonnie
Dooa" wan added as au encore. Mlea Oak-
Icy WM wilted by itr. Will 8. ilcCuue , the
Omaha baritone , who contributed a solo , a
Moorish serenade by Eugene Oudln , and ap
peared In .tho closing duet , Bodla's "Repeat

AMUSEMENTS.
Few people , sitting In the comfortable
stalls of a theater , over realize /or / appre
ciate the mechanism of the stage whlclugoes
to make up a perfect performance. In fact ,
sitting before a carefully rehearsed , well-
dressed and well-acted play. It would seem
as If , after all , acting was not so difficult
and that , , glven good lines , good clothes and
the proper environment , almost any one
might give an acceptable performance. It
all looks smooth and easy "from the front , "
but the thin Ice sometimes skated over and
the chasms bridged would , If known , cause
the average theater goer to marvel ; the
nervous strain upon the actor Is Immense.
From beginning to end , the play must move
on llko clock-work , the result of many long
hours of careful rehearsing , /the / actors be
ing dependant upon one another for every
thing tholr cues , business , entrances aud
exits. A single slip will often seriously em
barrass the entire company , and that slip
may occur at any moment , for , after all ,
a player Is only human , and mistakes will
happen In the beet regulated families.
Otis Skinner tells au amusing story of an
experience of this kind during the original
run of a "A Night Off , " which , It will be
remembered , Augustln Daly produced some
years ago. John Drew and Mr. Skinner had
ono scene together , In which Drew told the
story of a breach of promise suit that had
been brought against him. Ho was sup
posed to carry in his pockets the letters ,
bills and other documentary evidence per
taining to the case , and in a large pocketbook -
book a lock of hair , which ho spoke of as
"Exhibit A ; " a rose , "Exhibit B ; " a ring ,
"Exhibit 0 , " and ono certain letter , "Ex
hibit D. "
"The night In question , " said Mr. Skinner ,
"Drew rushed on the stage in one of his
happiest moods , drew a chair toward him ,
and began to tell his story , mentioning the
various properties which he was about to
show. He put his hand In hU pocket. There
was nothing there. Then , one after another
be went through all of his pockets , keeping
up meanwhile the conversation and finding
nothing. Then he leaned over and said to
me , BOto voce : 'Old man , I haven't got
them. I'vo got to go after them.1 And then
aloud In bis airiest tone : 'Dear me , I've
quite forgot them. I must have left them In
my overcoat pocket. I'll go and fetch them.
Really , I won't be a moment , ' Mr. Drew's
dressing room was on the other side of the
stage , down a flight of etalra , quite at the
end of a long corridor. The moment I heard
hid retreating footsteps , I knew It would be
fully five minutes before ! he could return. I
started In , If I remember , with some airy
persiflage on the carelessness of young men's
leaving things In their overcoat pockets.
Then I talked about the stage and soliloquized
about breach of promise suits. I was sup
posed to be a man with a past , and my wife
wss supposed to be very Jealous of that past.
I spoke guardedly of that. There was a piano
on the stage. Finally , In desperation , I sat
down and played a few chords and Just as I
was at my wits' ends , I heard the footateps
rapidly approaching , which told ma tlnl
Drew bad found his exhibit * and was rcr
turning , .1 don't think I was ever so glad
to see any one as I was him. But I had
saved the scene , for only those In the audlr
cnca who were familiar with the play , had the
slightest Idea that 'anything ' was -wrong. "
