+ Social Notes An unusually well balanced gram has been arranged this year hy the New Britain Choral society for its annual Spring festival concert to be glven next Monday night at Kox's theater, It I8 the custom in most cities at their musical festivals to have one performance devoted entirely to or- chestral music, one performance con- sisting of choral works and an art- ists' night at which the visiting solo- ists alone appear. The local society offers all of these attractions in one program for one admission, selecting the best of each variety of work to make up a program which on the whole could not be surpassed and is sure to please every member of our music loving public, The program opens with *“Hiawn- tha's Wedding Feast,” a cantata by 8. Coleridge Taylor for mixed voices, or- chestra and tenor solo, The text, hy Longfellow, has for its setting a com- position built upon lines of dignified grandeur, worthy of the Indian legend upon which it Is based, full of dra- matic feeling and color and ma tic in its choral harmonies. The themes taken from the tribal songs and dances of the western Indians are skilfully developed into stirring choruses, noble and melodious for the choir and beautiful solos of gr appeal for the visiting artist. “On- away Awake Beloved,” the principal tenor solo has long heen a great fa- vorite with tenor soloists who have the necessary range to sing it and in the hands of Mr. Althouse a great treat is promised. This work has not been sung in this community for some time but has been given at prac- tically all of the musical festivals at one time or another and its inspiring music is sure to be made the most of by the local society, especially the splendid choruses for male voices. The orchestra follows on the pro- gram with the Lohengrin Prelude by Wagner and Tschaikowsky's Ttalian Caprice. The prelude . is considered one of the finest, if not the finest, example of Wagner's genius in or- chestral composition. Sublime in its tonal beauty and rich ensemble ef- fects to which the full strength of the orchestra contributes, the num- ber is a favorite of the leading or- chestras of the country everywhere and forms a pleasing contrast to the work in a lighter vein which follows. Tschaikowsky's Caprice is a musical gem, full of spirit, life, color and charming melody. Tt transports its audience to the blue skies and warm sunshine of Italy, the land of forg fulness of encroaching years and is the work of a master builder of en- chanted musical air castles. Mr. Althouse contributes a group of four songs with piano accompaniment gelected from his varied repertoire as having been the most favorably re- ceived on his recent coast to coast Concert tour. Never in better musical prime, he and enhance the achieved at his last the Choral society which has TDeen duplicated during the intervening years by an unbroken string of suc- cessful app: ances in opera and concert in all of the principal cities. Concluding this most alluring pro- gram and as the fitting climax is of- fered Massenet's by iss idyl for chorus and orchestra with solos for tenor and soprano. Light and dainty in texture, sprightly and captivatingly tuneful in its musical composition the work offers rare op- portunities for the delicate shading at which the local society excels, while its orchestration filled with fanciful movements for strings and wood winds seems to proclaim the joyous beauty and sunshine of spring. In ch gifted mustcians as ain Choral society, Mr. Mme, Koch and the I'estiva! orchestra, to be artistically pre- ived, pro- voice and in his is sure to repeat artistic success he appearance with Althouse anc splendid Toston the work is surr sented and enthusiastically rec Local music lovers are particularly fortunate this year in the appearance of the Doston IPestival orchestra. Or- ganized in 1887 with the idea of f tival engagements particularly in mind, it has steadily increased in its musical prestige and popularity., This orchestra tours the country every gpring doing the festivals in succes- sion, appearing in such cities as Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Tolédo, De- troit, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Minne- apolis, St. P’aul well as several Canadian cities. Most of these cit- fes arrange their festivals so that they will fit in with the itinerary of this organization. For twenty years this custom has heen followed by a great many of the festival cities and continues this year, New Dritain fortunately getting date on their tour by filling in a week with Spring- field and Hartford. This organiza- tion has had such noted concert me ters and assistant conductors as Vie- tor Herbert and Max Benedix. Mr. Crowley who occupies {he same posi- tion with the orchest will conduct the orchestral numbers her Paul Atlhouse of the Metropolitan Opera company, the principal soloist, and undoubtedly theileading Ameri- can tenor of the « needs no intro- duction to New Britain. He has many friends herc and is well known through his appearances both with the opera and in concert. He has a true tenor voice, full and vibrant and he knows how to use it. He sings with power, yet never loses his vocal balance and there is an individuality and force in what he does. Singing the principal leads in both cantatas and a group of songs, he will have ample opportunity for the display of both his artistry and versatility. Josephine Simpson Koch who sings the soprano solo in “Narcissus,” is well known in these parts. Possess ing a beautiful soprano voice and of pleasing stage appearance she may be assured of a cordial welcome to New Britain. To E. F. Laubin and Ruth Benneft Lindsay, the director and accompan- 1st of the society respectively, are due the principal credit for the splendid progress the society has made during the seven years of its existence. Year by year it has increased both in at- tendance and in musical attainment and it is generally acknowledged by visiting singers that it is unexcelled by any organization of the same size the country today. ) New Britain takes just pride in the accomplishments of this organization, attested by the enthusiastic support which is given it by its long list of in { associate members, Box holders are W. 15, Atwood, H.
