THE OMAHA SUNDAY BIW: DKCKMBEIt 8, 3912. 7-B ;MV5IC Sings in Omaha This Week J- lIEXItir.TT.V M. HI2KS. i iiTitnn DE QUlCHAlU)' has an J yT article In the current Issue of I Musical America, on folk sonsa bulldlng- of American folk sony literature. He kuk Rests that the place for cultlvatlnK the folk song l.i In tho public schools, nnd that the beat musician In the state should be chosen for supervisor. He censures the composer of today, "who In his search for something new, new chords, new pro fessions, new forms, new colorations, passes by the fragrant but humble vio let, and llly-of-the-valley and takes up the dahlia and polnsettla, Romcous, bul without perfume. Tho music that lives Is that which Is most simply constructed and expressed." He thinks that some of the composers who aro turning out Imitations of the Japanese. Oriental, French and Germah melodies would do bettor to give us "Home, Sweet Home," which wins, as much applause for a star prima donna as all of her crand opera arias. Sir. de Gulchard believes that If the t ' ervlsors select ood melodies for study, musical quality of which springs i a natural source and the words of v :ch are calculated to touch the heart," nnd If he Invites songs of a similar na ture from composers of note, that In this way a repertoire of good songs with up lifting words of home and country can he built up, which would bo passed on fiom year to year, from parent to child until these songs of our childhood become tho folk songs of the nation. He ad vices composers in this field to give, as this country Is composed of people of atl nations, songs that ring of their own country, but with music and words like wise eloquent of their ndopted section of our country, of family life (and their de votion to-their new Fatherland. This part of the nslng In tho Omaha schools, at least la given a certain amount of attention. The high school chorus last week sang a group of three, and way back In tjio grades we used to learn such gems as "The Harp That Once Thrqugh Tara's Halls," etc. A great deal more' could be done lri this line, how ever, throughout the country. In fact, a systematic course of folk song music of all nations could be arranged and fol lowed out la tho grades, with a brief ' history of each folk song to precede It that would catch the children's Interest, nnd this would probably to a great deal toward developing musical taste. A study of tho customs and manners of some Xor , elgn country, with pictures of how they dress, and of tlie people at work at their principle occupations, supplemented with a few tt the foil; songs of that nafl-iii would serve to bring these people closer to tho minds and hearts of the children, than three times tho book learning, and develop them on the musical side at the same time. Music at present Is not given a 'very Important place In our educa tional system, yet of all the arts It Is the most Intimate. During the week, through the courtesy of Mr. Simms, I have had a glimpse at the brand new 'edition of Bacltfs Orga"ji workH that are edited b Charles-Mqrje Vidor, the eminent French authority. The suggestions as to phrasing nnd man ner of playing are all given In reading material at the front wf tho book, while tho muslo Itself Is free from markings. Only a few of Bach's compositions were published during his llfetttno and as moet of them were written for his sons, the composer put little more on paper than the notes how was ho to know that for centuries musicians would disagree as to the way certain trills were to be trilled, and how phrases were to be played! he didn't know ho was to be famuus. Tills new edition gives tho per former who has the ability to play thesw wonderful compositions a much freer Chance to uso his own Interpretation. Any one who has developed far enough to play them technically well ought to bu able to decide how he wants to phrase them. New York has jurft been treated to a performance of Mozart's "Magic Flute" for the first time In ten years. The reason It has not been performed oftener has been for lack of a soprano since Mme. Sembrlch left opera. After all this lapse of time Mr. Gattt-Casajza engaged Miss Frieda Hempel, fresh from nurope, to sing the part and went to much time and expense to give the work an elab orate production. When everything was In readiness for an early performance at the opera house, word was received that Miss Hempel was detained In Europe on account of Illness. Moiart ltved In the time when the arias were written for relcbrated nrlmadonna to dazzle the audience, and the arlus In this opera aro said to be of tho utmost difficulty. Mot to U. thwarted, however, Mr. Gattl, etc, in tho most up-io-uaie mm neiw Ible. decided to give It any way, and ensased a young singer who had been well spo'.scn of to sing 1110 roie. Wasn't that enough to make the shades of old autocrntlo opera singers haunt his dnimif To rlvR Mozart without a soniano of renown. This libretto of this opera is very disconnected, but In splto of all this the revival was a decided suc cess. The muslo Is of Itself most beauti ful, aud .in the scenic effects the Metio polttan company outdid themselves, and hv a tow minor changes the play ussumed a semblanc.0 of connection. It Is probable that the work will be given another pro ductlon with a real prima donna in tho role at a later date. The Chicaro Opera company opened the season last week with a production of "Manou Lescaut," by Puccini, wlilcti was a novelty In that city. Great enthusiasm prevailed nnd a vast array of flowers were sent over the footlights. It Is said that the principals did some excellent singing, and an early repetition of the work will probably be demanded. - News comes from Atlanta, Ga., that Mortimer Wilson la the conductor of the Atlanta Philharmonic orchestra. Tho men of the orchestra 'all speak highly of his work. The opening concert under htu direction will take place on December S. Mr. Wilson will be remembered by local university students of a few years ago, as an Instructor In violin at theX'nlvcrslty of Nebraska School of Mudo. , . .

NEW YOItK, Dec. 6. -The theatrical section of New York was surprised to learn today of the marriage of Mme. I Alia Nazlmova, the Kuvslan actress, to We are highly pleased- With the overwhelming response from Christmas Gift Shoppers to our recent statement of facts regarding our immense stock of hand manufactured Diamond Jewelry. As you know, this magnificent load of Gems came from that staunch and reliable old New York firm Katz & Leudan, 87 Nassau Street. Our Christmas business to date shows this" one thing for ecrtnin: The big majority of p'eople really want to buy refined, distinct and quality-marked .Tewolry in preference to the make-believe, lnnehino-slaiuped lots that erop out bo plentifully in every alley of trade, especially close to Christmas. The reason why everybody does not always buy the real kind, js because prices have generally been ridiculously high. It has been the same old tragic story of the hard-earned, battered and withall cherished Dollar that would not stretch far enough To stretch the Dollars, Jiowever, is just exactly what, we have accomplished so successfully by aid of our experience and niochanical insight combined with financial stability of 28 years' growth. We stretched our Cash Dollars last fall at the ratio of 1 to 2.10. We bought real hand mado and classy Diamond Jewelry, platinum mounted or set in 14 or 18 carat Gold, at 45 of the closest Manufacturer's Price. At ordinary prices only a limited amount of this kind of Jewelry could be sold in Omaha or any other western city. The " average Christmas Dollar would not, stretch far enough, to reach it, and some inferior article Avould have to suffice. Thanks to our big catch in the manufacturing market, the Dollars of any Christmas Shopper may be stretched to cover that class of Jewelry which everybody really wants, but which many buyers are permitted only to look wistfully upon.
