I'ST as wo welcomo tho sun's
warm rays after a season of
storm and stress, so tho ap
pearance of the Mendelssohn
choir concerts upon the hori
zon Is welcomed after our
great calamity. Not because we wish to
forget those who suffered In the recent
uisasier, out rather to help us to set
back to normal, and to realties that oven
thouRh wo have lost a Rrcut deal, we
linve not lost everything. It Is up to
every citizen now more than over to sup.
port Omaha enterprises and do his or her
sJiaro toward building up Its reputation
as a city of beauty and culture. The
Mendelssohn choir Is doing something In
this line for Omaha that should Interest
and attract every music lover In this vi
cinity. There Is the orchestra to bcRln
with one of tho few really superb or
chestras In the world, a body of players,
most of whom have been playing and ro
lioarilng together for a score of years,
and directed by a conductor who has
been recognised by tho greutest authori
ties, not only of America and Canada,
but also of Huropo. Havo you any idea
how much It costs to bring this band of
artists to Omaha? In the second place
thero are the soloists.
There Is Miss Florence Illnkle, one of
thVj most popular sopranos In the field,
who made such a favorable Impression
upon Omaha last year. Thero Is Rosalie
Wlrth'lln, who Is remembered as creating
a most excellent Impression as one of
tho soloists at a May music festival sev
eral years ago. Thero are Lambert Mur
phy, one of the principals of the Metro-
, polltan Opera company of New York, and
' Henri Scott of the Chicago Grand Opera
. company of Chicago. Bruno Stclndol will
also be with us nB 'cello soloist, and Is
perhaps the most popular 'cellist in tho
country. In addition to nil these, thero
is the choral work of tho Mendelssohn
choir. In regard to this, Mrs. Mary
Learned. writlnc In Tho Tlnn nftnr ln
year's concerts, said:
I think many people hardly realize
Just yet what amazingly good singing
they have listened to. The foun
dation for the yearly fesUral Is laid in
honest, artistic, beautiful work.
All tho phrasing is clean and clear, and
the attacks so good one Is unconscious
of them. The way this body of singers
manages the final syllables of a phrase
Js a lesson In Itself. Maybe you didn't
listen for that! I'd llko to enumerate a
few nearly universal faults that you very
decidedly didn't hear, but that would bb
rather odd criticism. From reliable
sources comes the Information that this
choir has not its equal in the east, maybe
not In this country. So let us open our
eyes and ' ears and bo proud of it, and
appreclato it, and work for and talk this
yearly festival."
Do you know how much the people of
Omaha have been paying to hear single
soloists In concert thlB season? Two dol
lars a seat. Do you know how much tho
Mendelssohn choir are charging for tho
three concerts together? Just 3. If you
aro Interested In singing you would prob
ably not demur at paying" that much for
a good -singing lesson,- It.'s .worth .that
much to hear Miss Florence Hlnklo alone
to say nothing of the others, and some
or. ineso soloists appear at eacn concert
If you are a student of any orchestral
instrument it Is worth that much to hear
tho orchestra at a single concert. If you
nro a' music lover of any sort you can
not affonfito miss this galaxy-of artists,
and If you are a public-minded rcltlzen.
ovon though you are not Interested es-.
pecially in "muslo .for Its own sake, you
should give these concerts your support
tho same way In which you would support
the "Mado-in-Nebraska" show for thero
are nearly 200 of your home people
taking part. If you are not the least In
terested in music and attend. I'd be will
lug to wager that you will find something
on each program that you will enjoy, for
some of the choral numbers are particu
larly light and merry.
Here are-a few words from the Mendels
sohn choir management:
"Tho Mendelssohn choir is working for
Omaha, and it Is uphill work. Here is
the reason why It says It Is working for
Omaha and not for Itself. If the Mendels
sohn choir were working merely for It
nclf It would give a couple of concerts
each year, one in the spring and ana In
tho fall. These concerts .would' bo given
nt the Brandcls or Boyd theater, which
ever would bo available; tickets could bo
easily disposed of to fill the house, say
for a Friday night and a Saturday after
noon concert on each occasion, the same
concert being given afternoon and even
ing. Tho choir would In this way mako
money and never have to solicit a big
mihscriptlon list. Let It bo whispered that
this easier way has been often thought of
by the conductor and management. But
instead, it assumes the tremendous fi
nancial undertaking of bringing hero the
same orchestra which plays for the very
biggest festivals of this country and
Cnnada. The railroad faro alone with
tlie sleepers for sixty men in the orches
tra, the conductor, four soloists and the
manager Is 11,630. Take pencil and figure
it out for yourselves. Tho cost of tho
Hprlng festivals Is enormous. Now the
question Is, Do we want this? If wo do,
the labor must be shared by all those who
want ,to see Omaha go on. musically to
the proper plane. The permanent success
nf these concerts means the permanent
success of every professional musician in
Omahrt, and tho success of the profes
sional musician means the fact that there
residence In Omaha, and consequently the
advantages for the student In the way nf
superior Instruction, and of Inspiration
and example for all the musical organiza
tions Hkn tho Tuesday Musical club. It
is up to' the musical people of Omaha
whothcr these concerts ore to continue;
there is not a big guarantee fund; the
subset Ir'tlon must b essentially a popular
one. There Is much indifference, but
there Is also much genuine enthusiasm.
Shall the latter win out or the former?"
The other day the writer took occasion
to call at the business office of the
Mendelsohn choir, which Is located in
tho office of tho secretary, Albert A.
M'edemeyer. In the army building. And
such a scene of business and Industry
us met the eye! There was Mr, Wede
moyer at his desk and a string of sev
eral In line waiting their turn to talk
with him. Mr. Kelly was now checking
off a long list of names, now consulting
with this person or another, and several
sopranos and altos were discovered
grouped around tables addressing large
piles of envelopes for the booklet they
are sending out. And have you seen this
booklet It is a regular souvenir There
are pictures of the directors and soloists
nd tlip orchestra. There aro tho three!
programs and a plat of the Auditorium,
which can be cut out and mailed with tho
season tickets to the Auditorium for re-
served seats In advance of the general
sale.
Awful things happened to tho theme of
the "IJbcra Mo" fugue in this column
last week. This Is the big chornl number
on tho first evening's program. Instead
of the principal melody being as stated.
It ! really built upon C nbovo middle t
sung twice, followed In .downward suc
cession by a A flat, F, D, B. The alto
part sings It first, followed In succession
by tho soprano, bnsi and tonor,,.and the
flight of the parts is started. Tho entlru
melody Is more than theso first mere
notes, and will bo sung complete by the
alto part before any other part comes In.
This big fugue Is not tho beglnn'tng of
tho number, however, it starts with a
recitative and soprano solo a prayer
that tho Lord, will deliver our souls from
eternal doom on the Day of Judgment,
and an admission of the terror felt nt the
approaching day of wrath and nngei.
The chorus follows this and sings most
dramatically of this dreadful Day of
Anger when utter confusion and despond
ency will befall them. This Is Immedi
ately succeeded with another most beau
tiful soft prayer to grant them eternal
peuco nnd let the perpetual light shine
down upon them, and nfter this comes
the famous fugue: Can you begin to
imagine from the wordB tho wonderful
opportunities they would give the greatest
Italian composer of this century to wrtto
music? "
Two Items of Interest In the coming
concerts nro that most of tho scores used
by the Mendelssohn choir have been im
ported expressly for them, and that the
orchestra will give a very prominent place
to modern American orchestral numbers.
Omaha will open tho spring tour of the
Chicago Symphony orchestra, and will be
the first city upon the spring tour of tho,
Chicago Symphony orchestra, which will
give us a chanco to hear whether tho
chango of name from the Theodore
Thomas orchestra to the above will make
any difference In. tho playing of Its mem
bers. Other cities that will bo visited
are Peoria, 111.; Cleveland, O.; Buffalo,
N. Y. ; Erie. Pa.; Oberiin, O.; Ann Arbor,
Mich.; Milwaukee. Wis.; Des Moines,
Davenport. Grinnell. Cedar Falls and
Mount Vernon, la., and Kvanston, III.
Gounod's "Messe Solennello" was elab
orately presented at the dedicatory
vesper service of the new Congregational
church nt York,x Neb., last, Sunday by
a vested choir of forty voices, under
the direction' of Miss Blanche Cox, as
slsted by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Kelly
and Louis Lorlng of this city. Tho church,
seating about a thousand, was com
pletely filled and several hundred eager
listeners were turned away. The York
papers speak of tho musicianship of Mr.
Kelly as being "state-wl.de. knowledge"
and add "from now on the work of His
charming and talented wife will add to
hls(famc n this city." "Few bt those who
heard ,It. will bo abjq soon to forget h)r
rendition of the Gloria or Benedlctlus.1'
Mr. Lorlng also camo In for his share
of praise, and the comment continues, "In
fact the trio ,as a whole will always find
a warm welcome in York, their ensemble,
work being especially fine."
Miss Blanche Cox is ilolng splendid work
in' her "homo city." She has enjoyed ex
ceptional' advantages -for study ' In the
eaat and Is possessed of rare musical
skill and Insight. The Times quotes Mr.
Kelly as saying, "It" was absolutely an
unusually brilliant piece of work, very
perfectly drilled and balanced and much
beyond my highest expectations."
Ysaye. Rudolph GanzT Mlscha Elman
and Mndame Schumann-Helnk were un
able to make several of their concert en
gagements, as - they -were caught In the
flooded districts. None of them was
injured, however. Ysaye left a hotel In
the city Just one hour before It was
washed away. He also hnd two drives
of twenty-six miles in the rain, and
when they finally made a train he ar
rived in Chicago scarcely an hour before
a saheduled concert with the Chicago
Symphony orchestra.
The Omaha Muslk-Vercln, wth Prof.
Rudolph Reese ns director, gaveyn bene

.'o Discomforts Here
One of the drawbacks to' travel per
haps the only drawback has been the
discomforts which have stared In tho

meal, the library, tho fresh air, tho well
heated rooms, the maid, the bath, the

things, and upon none has It .operated
with more .success than upon tho pas
senger trains of the great roads of the

which do not offer good accommodations,
and there are nonu that offer all that

The building of a house for a home Is
