MUSICAL MENTION.
The fourth concert of the Philhar
monic orchestra nn Monday evening was
one of the best of the serie3. The large
audience at thi Oliver theatre showed
no diminution of interest in orchestral
effects, and the orchestra itself reached
its usual high standard of excellence.
The program was of satisfactory length,
allowing a number of encores without
danger of weariness. The numbers were
all 60 good that it is difficult to single
any for special mention. The Delibea'
"Intermezzo" was charming, and the
two dainty selections for strings,
Czibulka's "Minuet" and Ihe delicate
little piece, "Grossmutterchen," were
greatly enjoyed by the audience, who
seemed partial to string numbers. Some
martial strains of Sousa were added as
an encore, full of spirit and exhilaration.
Much interest was felt in hearing the
soprano soloist, Mis. Katharine B. Wads
worth, after her long absence. Always
a favorite with Lincoln audiences, only
improvement could be noted in her
sweet voice. She gave the "Mad Scene
from Hamlet," accompanied by the
orchestra, who have learned to modulate
their tone when supporting a singer;
and a double number, little songs by
Dudley Buck: and Neidlinger, adding as
an encore Nevin'e well known '"Good
Night." Technically Mrs. Wadsworth
has gained much, her trills and runs are
as light and effortless as those of the
birds. The predominant quality of her
voice is sweetness, and though she ob
tains no great effects, the impression
produced is always pleasurable.
The other soloist, Mr. Will B. Rich
ardson, also assisted the orchestra with
bis trombone, and is a valuable addition
to its members.
There is a difference of opinion as to
the beauty of the trombone for boIo
work, its piercing volume proves over
powering for a too sensitive ear; but the
work of Mr. Richardson was certainly
excellent his tone full and sonorous.
Little Mies May Belle Hagenow played
the piano accompaniments delightfully,
though not always with adequate
strength to support the voice,
The program follows:

A most charming recital was given on
Wednesday evening by the members of
the faculty of the university school of
music.
The cultured and musical audience
which assembled toBpend"An evening
with Grieg" filled the chapel to over
flowing. The great partiality of musicians for
the works of this Scandinavian composer
is owing to the present demand in musi
cal taste for poetic and wierd effects.
Mr. Kimball in a few introductory re
marks on the nature of Grieg's music in
general and of the compositions to be
presented that evening in particular,
stated that it was still left for the future
to assign Grie a permanent place
among the classic composers.
The selections gave infinite variety,
though all showed the strong character
istics which distinguish Grieg's works
from all others.
The program contained numbers for
the piano, piano and strings and the
voice, and was artistically rendered
throughout.
The intelligent interpretations were
of a nature to be enjoyed, especially by
cultured musicians.
The opening number, Sonata, op. 8,
given by Miss Perkins and Mr. August
Hagenow, was of unusual interest owing
to the general desire to hear the former
after her long absence in the east.
The wild spirit of the Norway scenery
supposed to be represented in the Son
ata, was given by the young player with
natural abandon and apparent uncon
sciousness of effect.
Miss Perkins has spent a year and a
half studying with Godowski and that
oft-mentioned only rupil of Paderewski,
Szumowska, and now returns with a
brilliadt technique added to a naturally
poetic, musical temperament. Nature
has doubly endowed her witi great
physical powers, and the &oul behind to
still the storm. Of the beauty or singing
quality of her "touch" there was little
opportunity to judge, but it is hoped
the public may soon have an opportun
ity to hear her as a soloist.
Mr. August Hagenow played effect
ively in the Sonata, and in the Peer
Gynt Suite, a trio for piano, violin and
cello, which illustrates the life of a
ne'nr-doweel as described in a poem by
Ibsen.
The 'cellist, Mr. Charles Hagenow
had been ill and unable to rehearse, Dut
played his part most satisfactorily.
A group of "Little Lyrics" were played
by Miss Schofield with a refined and
dainty appreciation of their poetic qual
ity. The numbers devoted to the voice
were very short. Miss Treat gave two
little numbers ''Good Mornirg." and
"Nocturne." The latter showed the
lower notes of her voice to advantage.
Mr. Randolph is so seldom beard thct
he was welcomed with quite an ovation,
and theaudienca found his artistic ren
dition of two little pongs all too short,
but recalled him in vain.
Mrs. P. V. M. Raymond as usual
played the accompaniments faultlessly.
Especial mention should ba made of
the beautiful A minor, Concerto, op. 1G,
rendered by Mrs. Will Owen Jones with
breadth, power and delicacy in the
quieter parts, as well as in sympathetic
accord with the orchestral parte played
on the second piano by Miss Perkins.
