The poem beginning:
"I.ehn' deine Wang' am meine
Wang. " pounds very poetic and
musical in the original, and inspired
Adolph Jensen to write one of the
loveliest songi in the entire litera
ture, A literal translation of this is:
"Lean thv cheek on my check,"
which fails obviously to conform to
even the mildest uses of poetic con
vention, and again substitution be-
i comes necessary. ''Oh rest thy
cheek against my own'' is the favor
ite version.
Such phrases as "Meine Huh ist
bin" and "Ich grolle nicht" have
caused numerous translators to
stand on their honorable heads in an
effort to find euphonious equivalents,
and the best expression one
transcriber could find for faul Vcr-
s laine's rapturous crv "C'est l'huere
aVxiiuise!" was "Dwell, perfect hour!"

" translator to pad out Godard's
, phrase "J'at tant besoin de ton
amour, which simply means J have
such need of thy love" to read, "In
bitter want I need thy love," thus
adding a strange cast to the poetic
thought.
"Opera in English" is the slogan
of a considerable number at the pres-
fnt limp, anrt onora in V.nclifih we
undoubtedly shall have when good
operas are written to English texts.
A new translation of Wagner's
"Lohengrin" was made for last year's
performance at the Metropolitan, and
while we know nothing of its merits,
we know that they did not prevent
the production from slipping back
into the original tongue this season.
"Tristan and Isolde lived long
enough in the English version to per
mit King Mark's question ,!''hy in
hell should I bmer to become ia-
. i;nous. Jn Per romance trom .the
"'tales of Hoffmann" Antonia is
maVle in a standard edition, to sing.
"Flown away has thy fair turtle"
w hich' is supposed to be a translation
of "Elle a fui, ia tourterille."
Rut why worry about the slight
differences that exist between a tur
tle and a turtle dove?
And in Granados' opera, "Goyes
cas," the chorus is allowed to sing:
II vetjr difficult to RueM
TM cnur8 of love, we must confess.
This Is a pretty mess! Hi, h, ha, hal"
With the last-sentiment we are in
full agreement, and find the laugh
entirely justified.
)Says Roy K. Moulton in the New
York Evening Mail:
Attended a couple of grand operas
Slioutediin English the other night.
We used to frown upon foreign op
eras EecauBe we couldn't get the lan-
guage
But when, Jn opera.
A high note happens to come
On the word "horseradish,"
Or "hemstitch" or 'sodamints,"
Or "vegetable oysters,"
Or "suspenders,"
The singers were brave and made it;
But if they keep it up
, Their careers will be short.
Scratching the throat with a garden
rake
Ts pleasant exercise by comparison.
It is no place for a nervous person.
Lena Ellsworth Dale who attend
ed, furnishes these notes from the
national music convention at De
troit: ,vi On the last day of the convention
, "spoke Prof. H. Augustine Smith,
director of the department of fine
arts in religion, Boston university,
and director of music and pagean
try, Chautauqua. New York a long
title, but Mr, H. -Augustine Smith
w-as well "worth the money." He
is a live wire with all the electricity
working and the sparks flying all
about. f
He said a few witty things, several
startling things and many true ones
the last, of a nature to make the
church musicians do some serious
' ' thinking. His subject, "Vitalizing
the Worship and Music of the
jf Evangelical Church," was treated
v.ith masterly ability and vitality.
He said that the Roman Catholic
church arranges its services with
greatest skill and effectiveness that
the entire ritual is built with the

This institution is the only one
in the central west with separate
buildings situated, in their .own
grounds, yet entirely distinct, and
rendering: it possible to classify
cases. The one building being fit
ted for and devoted to the treat
ment of noncontagious and nonmen

h!c a of working up to a climax, that
the raising of the sacred cup in the
Lands of the priest it the dramatic
moment the "great moment'' in the
tervicc. All leads gradually up to
that episode of intense interest and
adoration and afterwards recedes
therefrom..
Mr. mith demanded to know
where, in the Evangelical church
service, was the note of climax
where the "great moment'" of
highest religious intensity. He made
dramatic pause upon this point and
held his hearers with another in
terrogative "where?"
The dean of one of the university
music schools was heard to re
mark, sotto voce, that "it might be
when the collection plates were
fassed." Hut he was frowned upon
by his immediate neighbors, and
Sir. Smith went on to say that he
bad never been able to find such a
point, and further that it was in fact
more usual to furnish "material"
(musical and otherwise) to "fill in"
the allotted time of service, rather
than with any idea of correlation and
harmonious blending of the religious
and musical phases.
Mr. Smith made a passionate plea
for better understanding' and co
operation between ministers and
choristers and urged the great need
of more carefully planned musical
programs with especial stress upon
the selection ot hymns, i wo cases
in point (which Mr. Smith vouched
for, as having occurred in his own
experience) served to illustrate the
lack, of this necessary forethought.
The first, an occasion of the gradua
tion exercises of a school, "many
eager young faces upturned and as
sisting in the singing of the, hymn."
which was "Come, Ye Disconsolate,
Where - 'er Ye -Langtushl" - The
other, a morning church service, the
baptism of infants having just been
completed, and in this instance the
chair favoring all by the rendition
of the Specially appropriate text,
"When Ends Life's Transient
Dream, When Death's Cold Sullen
Stream Shall O'er Me Roll!"
In c6nclusion, Mr. Smith deplored
vigorously and with all his heart the
"near-jazz" class of music common
ly used in most of our Sunday
schools today, this being only a
little worse than the other extreme,
which he termed "milk and water
pap."
He demanded of his hearers how
in the name of goodness they ex
pect the youngsters to care for any
thing musically better outside the
Sunday school as long as they have
what we are now giving them, in
side it.
The vocal gifts of Margaret Ro
mainc. the American soprano,
though very real, are not her only
charm. She has besides them rare
and brilliant qualities, vivacity 'and
brilliancy, and, better still, "person
ality." Though she has not thus far
sung many roles in opera in Ameri
ca, she has in Paris won distinction
in such leading parts as Manon and
Louise. Here she is chiefly known
at the. Metropolitan as probably the
best Musette heard there since the

Mr. H. P. Tarker. critic of the
Boston Transcript, paid Matrenauer
an eloquent tribute when alter her
appearance with the Boston Sym
phony orchestra last season he wrote
the following article:
"Mmc. Matzenauer sang with a
strange, dark beauty of tone, in tex
ture like to the pi'e of some thick,
warm velvet, steadily sustained and
moulded to the contours of the music.
The gentle lovliness, the tender sen
timent of Brahms' song have sel
dom stood clearer. With like beau
ty of tone, discretion of means, fine
ness of feelinar for music, text and
the art of song. Mme. Matzenauer
interpreted the two songs of Schu
mann. As life and work through re
cent vears have mellowed her. so she
has refined upon herself.
"N'ot within Ions- memorv has
singing actress in or out of the opera
house declaimed Brynhild's mono
logue with such sustained beauty of
song, with such depth and heigth of
tragic passion. With reason Mme.
Matzenauer's hearers lingered to re
lease in applause their answering
emotion."
