The Worcester Spy, 1898-10-01

The 4lst Worcester muslo festival ended last night with a stunning per performance - formance performance of Horatio William Parker's Novissima." It may be that it was a shade less accurate than that of last year, a shade less steady, but it was sublime. There were calle for both Mr. Parker and Mr. Chadwick, and the conductor had quite a recep reception - tion reception before he left his desk. , The suc success - cess success of the oratorio was balm for the wounds of the week. There was a good concert in the afternoon, also, and the attendance was large at each. The results will be discussed more In de detail - tail detail later on. Just now is an appro appropriate - priate appropriate time for summing up the work private time for summing up the work: The managers approached the festi festival - val festival with unusual serenity, and wKilt all things have not gone to their sat satisfaction, - isfaction, satisfaction, they find cause for encour encouragement - agement encouragement at the end of the week. In the first place, sordid as It may seem, they rejoice because there is a prospect that the proceeds of the festival will pay the debts. That is the most defl deflnite - nite deflnite financial statement that could b got from them last evening. Finally, they have faith in their nev conductor. They realize that no ne« man can take a strange chorus of 40i voices, that has long been Inured io ai almost mathematical routine, such a, Mr. Zerrahn enforced, and convert L to wholly new ways and new methods In a single year. Singers and con conductor - ductor conductor must get acquainted. Reflec Reflection - tion Reflection shows that the disaster which overtook "The Lily Nymph'' was scarcely greater than that which was suffered by "The Damanation of Faust," according to a number of crit critics, - ics, critics, a few years ago, even though there had been no change of conductors Ln spite ot mistakes and trouble, they be believe - lieve believe that progress has been maxle, and that the work already done will tell in the future. The errors of the week are of a sort that can and will be cor cori - i cori rooted. Much depends upon mere mat matters - ters matters of mechanical management, the permanent arrangement of the chorus, etc., that were not attended to as they should be. The managers are well pleased with Mr. Chadwick as a drill drillmaster. - master. drillmaster. The festival has offered much that was good, nay, of the highest excel excellence, - lence, excellence, and it has also brought disap disappointments. - pointments. disappointments. It will be within bounds to say that it has brought but one serious disappointment. The program was one of the best ever aranged here, judged solely by the musical contents, and nearly all the soloists are to be com commended - mended commended in the warmest of terms. In two Instances, the association was unfortunate in the choice of vocalists, and the violinist was not what he should have been, considering his posi position - tion position and experience. Disappointments of this sort, however, must be classed with the inevitable. Two of the vocalists might have been well enough in their places, but they were outclassed. One of the new singers. Miss Anderson, was a very gratifying success, a discovery that may be of service again. All -who heard Gwilym Miles, too, would wel welcome - come welcome his reappearance. The "Hora quartet was ideal. It was unfortunate that so much untried material was grouped together in for the disparity between them and the prophet was disconcert disconcerting - ing disconcerting to them as well as to the audience. Aside from this, no exception need be taken to the casts, unless it be in where everybody felt sorry for Miss Kellogg Molka. Hers was a thank thankless - less thankless part. As for Miss Aus der Ohe, her performance of the Schumann concerto spoke eloquently enough. She needs no certificate of recommendation. Mr. Goodrich, too, deserves a word of praise as an organist The orchestral work has been rather uneven. A long vacation and a new con conductor - ductor conductor were inevitable disadvantages, but the men often did excellent work, especially the string department Even in the height of the musical season, nothing better can be had save in Bos Boston - ton Boston and Chicago. The chief disappointment has been the chorus. In rehearsal (and this is said not without opportunity to judge) the chorus gave evidence of improve improvement - ment improvement and increased efficiency. The con conductor - ductor conductor seemed to have infused the sing singers - ers singers with new spirit, and to have trained them with sureness. When they came upon the concert stage, they showed improvement in certain directions, but they also gave evidence of hesitation, timidity, unstability and confusion. For proof of this statement, reference is commonly made to "The Lily Nymph." The difficult choruses of which were learned wholly under Mr. Chadwick, were excellently done. All things considered, the performance of was good for a first-nighter. It was brighter than it usually has been. learned orlg- Inally under Mr. Parker, was finely done. The singing of "The Bride of Avontown" was about on a par with what was done with Massenet's the first time. It does not appear, therefore, that there need be any se serious - rious serious discouragement over the choral work, this week. The disappointment comes largely from the high expecta expectations - tions expectations that were raised but not fully realized. Now as to Lily Nymph." It is in every way desirable that the con conductor's - ductor's conductor's responsibility should not be exaggerated, and that simple justice should be done. Others should be and are ready to bear responsibility for their own acts. "The Lily Nymph." for example, was chosen not by Mr. Chadwick, but by the committee, against the judgment of the conductor, who thought so large a chorus could not be trained to do so capricious and delicate music satisfactorily In a sin single - gle single year. The result has proved the wisdom of his caution. The commit committee, - tee, committee, however, were at their wits' ends for a work for Wednesday night, and they desired to recognize Mr. Chad Chadwick - wick Chadwick as an American composer if pos possible. - sible. possible. Hence they insisted upon "The Lily Nymph." Of the beauty and worth

of the work there Is no disagreement among critics. There are some who doubt if a chorus of 400 singers can ever be trained to do such muslo prop-, erly, but it is certain that It cannot be In a single year. Outside of "The Lily the committee maintain that, under the circumstances, the choral work was creditable, and that the obstacles which made trouble this week can bo removed. The allud alluded - ed alluded to are the change of conductors. One-half of the chorus had been drilled by Mr. Zerrahn, whom they loved aS a father, and had been inured to methods, manners and musical conoep-. tlons radically different from Mr, Chadwick's. A single season was not time enough in which to unlearn, the old and master the new. Mr. Chadwick has had good success at Springfield with a smaller chorus. But Springfield Is not Worcester, There is no other like the Worcester festival; no other on which the eyes if all professional musicians of tha country, and all managers are turned is they are turned upon this. Tha onductor here Is a marked man before the whole country. Would it be strange, If the new conductor were somewhat oppressed by the sense ot esponsibility and conspicuousness? Were the chorus and soloists always riven the cues that were expected? How often was the poor attack com- Joined of due simply to the fact that he soft beginning of which Mr. Chad Chadvick - vick Chadvick is fond, was drowned by the or orchestra - chestra orchestra which should have been re repressed? - pressed? repressed? Time is needed for a per perfect - fect perfect understanding between chorus and conductor. When there is so much to enjoy and take pride In, the sensible thing to do is to make sure of what we already have, profit by mistakes and misfortunes, and press on brave bravely - ly bravely and persistently as before. That seems the:, policy ot the. festival administration. THE AFTERNOON Ffrangccn Davies, Miss Stein and Ovid* Musin the Soloists. The large audience that attended tha afternoon concert applauded the Hayda symphony (G major, 13 Peters) as if they liked it. It was all so clear and cheerful. The almost comical opening allegro, the lovely adagio and the jolly whirl of the final rondo served to put the people in a oomplacent and happy mood. It required no exertion. Taken as a whole, the orchestral playing wax extremely good during the afternoon. Ffrangcon Davies vi as very cordially greeted when he came on to sing the prolog from "1 Pagliacd," which Giu Giuseppe - seppe Giuseppe Campanarl Introduced to a fes festival - tival festival audience in the Italian a few years ago. Ffrangcon Davies sang it in English, and with all due respect to his commanding and flawless art, the piece sounds more impressive in the vernacular, when a majority of the audience do not understand what the singer Is saying. Mr. Ffrangcon Da Davies - vies Davies deserved all the vociferous ap applause - plause applause he won by the exquisite beauty of his tones, as much as by the rhe rhetorical - torical rhetorical style of his delivery of Canio's lines. The recalls were so frequent that at last he consented to repeat the third section ot the address. He is In every respect a most finished and sat satisfying - isfying satisfying artist Mr. Ovide Musin, head of the violin school of the royal conservatory at Liege. Belgium, and of his own vio violin - lin violin school, in New York, U. S. A., played with a very scratchy tone, which was too often out of tune with the orchestra, was marred by various impurities and lacked both breadth and fullness. Only in the cantabila movement tvas he entirely satisfactory. Some portion of these imperfections must be charged up to the atmosphere, which was very trying to the strings, as was shown by their frequent break breaking - ing breaking in the orchestra. However that may be, the violinist's playing makes one feel uncertain that there may not be more beauty in Lalo's Concerto Russe than appeared. The lento is a melody of Inexpressible sweetness and sadness, and Mr. Musin played It with tender sympathy and muslcianly feeling. His tone was good, and the charm of the music was undeniable. There were occasional liasnes of beau beauty - ty beauty of the other movements, and some sometimes - times sometimes a bit of novelty that bordered on the sensational, but for the most part these made no lasting impression. There was some show of virtuosity, but when tonal beauty Is lacking, this counts for little. This w'as the first performance in America, so far as knoyn. It appears that it was origi originally - nally originally played by Marsick, to whom also it was dedicated, but Mr. Musin did not mention the fact in the letter which he wrote at the request of th* editor of the program book.

The weather man can offer no hope for those on the western slope whose homes and crops are threatened by the forest fires.
