Omaha will have more representatives in Turope this season than ever before at any one period. Already the registers In Lon don and Paris begin to report the arrival of Omahang, and it is estimated that $250,000 will be spent by Nebraskans on the other side of the pond this year. It Is becoming the thing decidedly to spend a month of two on | fthe continent and to know all about Europe, | but nothing about America. However, the fad may veer arcund and it may be the proper thing some day for Americans to know their own country rather than the countries on the other side of the Atluntic Now we have a chance to see ourselves as others sec us, for it s declared by readers of Frenci fiction that the latest fad in France is to interlard novels with English even as i‘rench was made to do undemanded duty a fow years ago in the novels of this country. e, of course, used to think that we used French correctly, but in all prob- abllity careful French writers make mistakes ludicrous to us. For instance, a recent novet speaks of going to a “plque-nique,” and the Mero ls represented as frequently efaculating “Times {8 money.” In another book the heroine declares that coming from her school in England has made her a sufferer from “les hcmesicks,” probably because she cannot get any “ices cream” to eat. Perhaps the funnlest corruption of the language, however. 1s in tho expression “high life,” which our Gallle consins compel to rhyme with “fig leaf.

The cleaning of ithe window sesms to be the only recommen- “dation which the pivotal window possesses, for the whole scheme would interfere with the shades and curtains now in use. Arcol- tects, however, who seem to care nothing at all for the upholsterer or the house owner, for that matter, seems to strongly favor the new window, and many houses are being built upon this principle.

CONCORD AND DISCORD Relative Dogrees of Harmony as Outlinad by Dr. Baetens, PATTI TH: WONDER SIKG R OF THE TIME bt History of the Throe Groatest Prime Donne of the Centary—Interssting ¢ hat About Musicians Loeally anl Otherwise. The note from from which the ek a key i¢ named, and tervals or distances of all the other notes e measured, is called in- differently the keynote or the tonlc. The note of next importance to the tonic Is the fith degree of the scale, because It com- mands or determines the key, and Is called the dominant. The fourth degree of a key is called the subdominant. There are two reasons for this name; first, it stands one degree in the scale under the dominant; sec- ond, that it stands at the same interval from the tonic downwards that the dominant does upwards, and is thus the under domi- nt. The note which stands next above the pie, the second of the key, is, therefore, named the supertonic the third of the key and bocause it stands midway between the tonic and the dominant, is named the mediant. The submediant is the sixth of the key, and takes its name from standing between the tonic and the subdominant downwards, that the mediant holds between the tonic na dominant upwards. The seventh of the ke; the leading note, takes its name from the necessity of its raising or leading to the key note in a full close. From Its pecullarly keen effect in certain harmonic combina- tions, as much as its seeming eagerness to ascend to its adjacent tonic, the seventh of the key 13 also frequently cailed the sensitive note (la Chorde sensible). The perception of the delicate and very individual character of this note 1s, however, entirely a development of modern times, and early harmonists, even those who wrote till the middie of the eigh- teenth century—I may instance Bach and Handel, as at once the brightest and the most accessible examples—having shown themselves utterly regardless of that promi- nent pecullarity which is most obvious to a modern cultivated ear. The scale of C shows the gradual relation of the several notes with their distinctive names C—(Tonie.) D—(Supertonic.) E—(Mediant) ¥ ~(Subdominant,) G—(Dominant.) A—(Submedi- ant) B—(Leading tone.) C—(Tonic.) And the corr:sponding degrees of every other key bear the same names in reference to their tonic, that those in tha scale here presented bear to its tonic C; thus A is the dominant of D, Bflat is the dominant of E flat, and the Itks. I have alluded to the progression of the leading note in a full close. Let me define this term, close, as meaning the completion of any rhythmical perfod. Its synonym, ca- dence, is quite as often used in the same simple sense; but, as a practice has become common for the performer to insert a flourish at the close or cadence, we conventionally use the word cadence, to denote the flourish introluced at a close. Our elder writers often employ the word fall—which has the same etymologicali-meaning—in the same technical sense as cadence; thus, in “Twelfth Night” the duket commands “That strain again it had a dying fall,” by which he means that the melody died away at its final close, or cadence. A full close, or perfect cadence, s almost unexceptionally in modern music, when a passige terminates on the chord of the tonic preceded by that of the dominant; and in this, strangely as our ggverqnd elders ignored the peculiarity, the cultivated ear now demands that the leading note rige by a semi-tons to the tonic. Another farm of full close—which Is all but cbsolete, orj at #east, most rarely em- ployed in the mufic §f our day save where this is intended to sugmest assoclations of the past—is when the chord of the tonlc is pre- ceded by that of the sub-dominant at the termination of a period: ~Ahis latter is called the Plagal cadence, the other being received as the authente. /A half clese Is when' a passage ends upon the chord of the dominant regardless of what harmony may precade .it. © is when a passage has ot An’ interrupted seemed to approach a per this is broken off by some c that of the expected tonic. to define the difference and a discord. In so dcing, all the beautiful poetic distinctions must be ignored which teach us to shrink with horror from the one, and to look for infinite loveliness in the other. The term concord, indeed, Implies, in its most limited technical sense, repose; but this would be such a repose in a polar desert, under the unvarying gaze of a six-months sun, from a naked sky unadorned with a cloud, and with no tree or shrub or sign of lite around to break the changeless, colorless, soundless stiliness, Discord Is as essential to musical beauty as is any variation of a straight line to interest in the pictorial arts and it is chiefly in the progression from d cord to concord that the true charm of this latter is felt. A concord is when two or more musical sounds In combination are satis- ctory in themselves, and csn form therefore the conclusion, or point of repose, of any passage. A discord is when two notes are unsatisfactory in their offect until they are followed by some particular harmony, their progression to which constilutes the resolu- tion of the discord. A discord, therefore, can never be conclusive, since, however pro- longed, it must final'y be resolved; and it 1s thus the musical exponent of unrest, activs ity, aspiration. Philosophy takes the place of poetry in affording an {llustration of the distinciion between concord and discord, more beautiful perhaps than any metaphor. It Is this: “The vibrations of the air,” says Helmholtz, “inducing musical sounds, by a process which might be called phonography, imprint their undulations by causing lightly scatterad sand to gather together in the shapes of their curves; when the sounds are consonant these curves take what plastic artists teach us as the forms of beauty; when they are dis- sonant the curves are distorted, jagged, harsh to the eye, as it Is to the ear, the musical combinations that induces them.” Again, it less striking, another acoustical phenomenon Is not less pertinent—namely, vibratlons are more or less rapld in pro- portion, as the sound Is higher or lower, of which they are the utterance, and combina- tlons are more or less consonant in_ propor- tion to the greater or less numbor of coinci- dent vibration of the two sounds—thus, two eounds in unison (the most complete nsonants) vibrate simultancously; the upper note of an octave has two vibrations for every one of the lower, while the minor second (ome of the harshest discords) has sixteen vibrations of its upper nota for every fifteen of its lower, the coincidences of which vibrations are as rare as the diswonance cf the combination f& ébvious.

Viardot Garcla- sister, too, of the all but centenarian pro- fessor who still teaches at the Royal Academy of Musi Among Theophile Gautier's col- lected articles may be found a brilliant ac count of this artiste, equally great as actres: and as singer; and Sir Julius Benedict bas left an interesting narrative of her last moments, Herself of the sweetest disposi- tion, she was plagued in succession by twe unworthy husbands, the latter of whom, De Beriot—good violinist, but bad man—had such 1895. terrors for her that, having fallen from her torss when he had ordered her not to ride, she was afrald to tell him of her mishap. She had injured her head, which did not prevent her from appearing soon afterward at the Manchester Festival, where, after singing with wonderful brilliancy, she sud- denly went Into convulsions, fell shrieking to the ground, was placed in the hands of doctors, who, according to the marolless, murderous custom of the period, hled her, and was then carried back to the hotel. The next day she insisted—such was ber in- domitable spirit—on singing again, and no one had the senso or the courage Lo prevent her. She had a relapse, and when her own doctor, an Ttallan homeopaibist, arrived from London to see her, she oxclaimed to him, al- ready in a hopeless condition: ‘I am a slain woman, doctor; they have bled me.' She died, as Moliere might have put it, of two doctors and a lancet; and she was scarcely dead when her husband hurried to London to secure her property before any claim to it could be put forward by her relations Malibran's greatest successes were obtained in Bellinl's operas and in parts of Amina, Norma and Romeo. “After the death of Malibran, the favorite prima donna of London was Giulia Gri whose name in operatic history, as In life, cannot but be associated with that of Marlo, immediate follower of Rubini, who sug- s Tamburini, who recalls Lablache. The two greatest quartets ever heard at Her Majesty's theater wero those in which first Rublni and atterwards Mario took the tenor part, with in each case Grisi as soprano, Tamburini as baritone, and Lablache as bass. For the first of these quartets ‘I Pu- ritani’ ond was composed by Bellini; for the sec- ‘Don Pasquale,’ by Doufzetti, Grisl and Mario were the rose and the nightin- gale of Helne's Parisian letters. When, in 1846, the great secession from Her Majesty's theater took place Grisi, Marfo, and Tam- burini all joined the new enterprise, to be followed a° few years afterwards by La- blache. Grist and Tamburini mppeared on the opening night in ‘Semiramide,’ hen the great success of the evening was gained by neither of these singars, but by a new con- tralto, ATbonl, in the part of Arsace. Albon had been strongly recommended by Rossini, :ml the public had never in any way heard of her. Such, however, was the be of her such’ the dignity and the charm of her ical elocution that the first phrases of her opening recitative caused transports of enthusiasm, and before she had finished her first air she was aiready accepted as one of the greatest singers of her time. She was great also In another sense—'an elephant,’ some one called her, ‘who has swallowed a nightingale.’ “Grisl was succeeded in the most direct manner by Adelina Patti, who came out at the Royal Itallan opera in 1861, the year of Grist's retirement, Meanwhile great suc- cess had been gained at this establishment by a very refined, very charming singer, Angiolina ‘Bosio, who died at St. Petersburg in 1859 from obscure causes, among which were reckoned the unduly susplcious Jealousy and polson. The first appearance of Mme. Pattl was one of the happiest Incle dents In the whol= history of the Royal Ital lan opera. She agaln took the audience as completely by surprise as, fourteen years before, Alboni had done, and her singing on this occasion of the part of Amina in ‘La Sonnambula’ was a constantly increasing triumph from beginning to end. Year after year, throughout the long and prosperous management of Mr, Frederick Gye, Mme. Pattl sang constantly at the Royal Itallan opera. Every one feared that the most per- fect singer of hor time would never again be heard fn the lyric drama, when suddenly it was announced that the most enterprising manager of our time had engaged her for the season, now on the point of beginning. She naturally cannot undertake the forty or fitty characters comprised in her Im- mense repsrtory. But to have mastered a great number of parts is not so remarkable as to be able to sing six or elght in the most perfect manner possible, and Mme, Patti will be heard in some half dozen of her very finest impersonations.” A special telegram to The Bee from He- bron, Neb., says: Miss Lulu R. Carrell of this city held her second annual musicale at the Christian church Thursday evening before a large, select and appreclative audi- ence. The entertalnment throughout was a highly enjoyable affair and reflected great credit _on this talented young instructress, Miss Myrtle Coon of Omaha favored the gathering with two choice vocal solos. Her | beautiful soprano voice and pleasing ma quite won the audience. recently of the Lincoln Conser rendered two violin solos, and favorably received. One of the musical events of the past week, ner atory of Muslc, which” were well around which a great deal of interest was centered, was the recital by the pupils of Mr. Lee G. Kratz, given in the parlors of Kountze Memorial Lutheran church. From the beginning of the program to the strains of the last trio, the interest and enthusiasm in the crowded house did not secem to lag for a moment. Miss Ivin's rendition of “When Those Rosy Lips” was a surprise to many and she did some very fine work in the stac- cato passages of the Scherzo movement of the song, while Miss Timme's work in the “Lark” made that bird sing very well, hor execution and trills being cleverly done. Miss Cannon in the “Arrow and the Song” sang y dignity and fine expression, showing that her voice was well cultivated, and Miss Daniels in the ‘‘Peace of Heaven' sang with such religlous fervor that momentarily she seemed to lift her hearers up to the en- joyment of such a peace. Miss Swords' “He Was a Prince” was admirably adapted to her dignified_appearance and deep full alto voice. Abt’s “Still is the Night' by Miss Gibson showed that the future possibilities of her volce are greal, and in “Snow Flakes" Miss Olver sang with good dramatic effect. Miss Louder in “Across the Crystal Sea” inter- preted her song feelingly and did some good | while Miss Evans in “My Dream of showed considerable study on her part. Wedge's rendition of an original song Kratz was well received and Mr. Mr. by Mr. Curtiss’ tenor was heard to best advantage in the duo with Miss Timme. Mr. Helgren's “Deep in a Mine” gave an opportunity for that gentleman to display his round, full lower tones to good advantage. Mr. Penfold deserves speclal mention for the ‘Mighty Deep” and Mr. Anderson’s “By the Sad Sea Waves” showed that he had a flexible bass of, good quality. A pleasing variety was given to the program by Mr. Bruner's rend tion of Will Carleton's *Negro's Funeral which was nicely done. Mrs. J. W. Cotton leaves very soon on her vacation and has chosen Boston this year in which to pursue her musical studies. On her return Mrs. Cotton hopes to start a ladles' chorus of plcked voices, assigning about ten to a part, and conduct it somewhat as a club, having only the best amateur talent available and interesting our best people in the move- bent. Mrs, Cotton has already received much encouragement in this idea of a ladies' chorus and several well known homes have been of- fered her for the recitals, which will probably be for a charitable purpose. A society on these lines was conducted by Anna Louise Carey in New York for some time with great success. That Is a very sad story which comes from Paris, says the Philadelphia Inquirer, of the death of a young American woman in that city just as she had been glven an oppor- tunity to sing before the manager of the Opera Comique. Immediately after she had sung she fainted from nervous strain, and in two hours she was dead. The tragedies of real life often equal those of fiction or of the drama in pathos. Doubtless this young musician had tofled long and arduously, mak- ing many sacrifices, hoping sometimes against hope, and knowing that others near and dear to her were eagerly longing to hear of her success. To be called upon at last to show- her qualifications must ‘have seemed to her a triumph, and no doubt she dreamed of a bright future and put behind her all her anxiety and feverish longing. But the strain was too great; her patlence and self- denial were all for naught, and there came the end and darkness. It is tho fashion sometimes to make light of these people who choose art for thelr profession, but the world Miss Bertha Davis, | knows nothing of the tension to which many of them are subjected, of their years of toil and bitterness, and of how, when the prize seems to be within thelr grasp, there is noth- ing left for them but a shadow.
