JENNY LIND-GOLDSCHMIDT (lfizfls’h) Through Jenny Lind I first became sensible of the holiness of art. Through her I learned that one must forget one's seif in the servics of the Supreme. No books, no men, have had a more ennobling influence upon me, as g poet, an Jenny Lind.—Hans Christian Andersen. Great musiclans, singers and piayers labor under heavier disadvantages in con- vincing posterity of their right to fame than do the other children of gentus; the portable nature of their profession, its un- | recordability except in the memories of their hearers, make succeeding generations inclined to attribute their reputation to the extravagance or the susceptibility of their contemporaries. Jenny Lind would have shared this general fate were that her remarkable rEon- made such an indelible impres- upon the people of all classes Europe and the tone-deaf, like Dean Stanley, as well as upon musicians like Meyerbeer—that these impressions have been recorded in the memoirs of every noteworthy person who [ R S e . knew her, from Victoria, Mendelssohn, Sonntag, Schumann, Andersen, Thorwald- sen, G. W. Curtis, down to P. T. Barnum. As a child of § she.imitated upon the piano the fanfare of the street buglers; and through her girlhood -the super- abundance of music in her found expres- sion in- every step and bound that her restless feet made. Until 9 years old she had no more appreciative audience than her blue-ribboned cat, to which she sang by the hour till the wonder of her childish voice attracted the attention of an actress boarding in the neighborhood. Jennie Lind’s mother; a governess, embittered by her hard struggles to support husband and children, was with difficulty persuad- ed by this actress to subordinate her bur- gher prejudices to the future of the child and sent to having the little girl's v ed at the Royal Theater. Jenny Lind describes herself at that time as “a small, ugly, broad-nosed, shy, gauche, un- dergrown i: ; yet the rare promise in her voice t her awkwardness so entirely in the background that the head of the the- ater agreed to take the $-year-old girl and educate her at the Government expense for the next ten year: The “actress-pupil Lind” found this theatrical training always valuable to her. Her position, however, was by no means a sinecure, and her efforts to make restitu- tion for the drill and expense bestowed upon her would have broken down a less rugged constitution. At 10 she played the part of Angeia in “The Polish Mine”; at 13 she appeared in twenty-two perform- ances; but not until she was 17, after hav- ing appeared on the stage 111 times for her board and clothes, did the directors dx—dr‘ie to allow her a small salary for her services That year she played ninety-two times in twelve new characters, chief among which was Agatha in Weber's “Der Frei- schutz.” In this she practically made her debut and awoke to the knowledge of the | great dramatic gift which God had in- This date, March 7, she celebrated each year thereafter as a sec- ond birthday. In a somewhat different wording than that employed by Byron, she expressed the same idea of a famous | awaking: I got up that morning oue reature; I went to bed another creature, I had found my power.” Soon afterward she was made a member of the:Royal Swedish Academy of Music and received the appointment of court singer. Within a few years she earned enough money from provincial tours to enable her to go tq Paris for the study of technique. er career thenceforth was a wonderful exposition of Disraeli’s theory that pa- tience is the necessary Ingredient of gen- ius. Once before, as’'a child of 14, her volce threatened for some time to leave her, and had she not patiently striven at these critical times to recover it it is probable that her genius might quickly have degenerated into mediocrity. Her voice was not naturally flexible, yet by medns of her inexhaustible perseverance she became enabled so skillfully to blend the various registers that the most criti- cal ear failed to discover their “‘points of junction.” By practice, too, she attained the power of rapid execution, not as nat- ural to fer as the richer sustaining power of her notes. She would practice alone for hours on_the correct enunclation of some words difficult to pronounce on a high note without the gflmncmf she detested; and by practice she also learned to refill her lungs with such dexterity that the re-| newal of her breath was impossible of de- tection. She took the greatest care of her voice, never dancing or drinking wine, tea or coffee. Her conscientiousness was due to her feeling each morning that her Voice was a gift from God, and that per- haps that very day might be the last of its use. After having mastered the details of technique so that she might 1glve her dra. matic and spiritual nature full play un hampered by the mechanics of art. Jenny Lind returned to Stockholm. Here she astounded even her most enthusiastic friends by her enormous development in singing, a development which made her voice unique in the world. Her progress in music thenceforth was a series of triumphal ovations in_Berlin, Finland, Copenhagen, Leipzig, Munich, Vienna, London and America—the joy of each nationality in being awakened mu- sically to consciousness of itself finding expression in many curious and charac- teristic ways. Students serenaded her in Copenkagen and Berlin, the art lovers of Vienna ruhhyned silver wreaths for her, and the crown2d heads of Europe present- ed her with gifts estimated to be worth $500.000. . The names of ‘“‘the edish Nightingale” and “the divine Jenny"” were popular efforts to express appreciation of the birdlike, God-given qualities of her ce. Hi urse through Europe could easil; be terracc:d by the cl’sln of charitles whicl she left in her wake. ‘harities con- Singing in private to the sick of needy, in inging in private to the or needy, in s I;:omn‘ Hans Christian surpri: ck n- dersen with a Christmas tree on Syives- ter evening, but in giving wherever she tarried thot dellars to the poor and need: —-lflvinl it gleefully, like ‘The only allusion she was ever |mlke to her wonderful talent was ia Co= penhagen, after sing‘ng for a Home for | the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. | When she heard the unusually laige | amount which her concert had raised her eves filled with tears, and s said to | Hans Christian Andersen: “Isn’t it beau- tiful that I can sing so!” Despite the undoubted success of her operatic career she longed constantly for a homely life—so much so that she decided to abandon the stage in I just eleven vears from that memorable March 7, the rthday of her genius. This decision she never regretted. She sung thereafter in concert or poured out her soul in ora- torio. Mendelssohn, who considered her the greatest artist he had known, wrote the “Elijah" for the peculiar beauty of her voice and in that she was at her best, for she said it lifted her up into another world. ier retirement from the stage did not spring from a puritanical aversion to it, She did not think it immoral or she would not have gone to see others act nor would she have founded a school for the educa- tion of stage aspirants was simply because. having passed unspotted throusn the evils of stage environment, she feit worn by the artificialities and difficulties of her progress and longed for the home- | Hiness of home. | In England she was greatly beloved and B e e e RN * - 2 - 34 ® é 3 ? - s > 54 ® P b ) 5 é P b4 . ® ® . + > ® B - > » . b £ L 4 R . pe | : be - ‘.

Jenny Lind’s American tour under the management of P. T. Barnum was an un- €quivocal success. Although undertaking this venture with some trepidation Jenny Lind felt that.she did not dare to miss such a golden opportunity of doing good. | She writes thus to a friend: | _“I have for long bad the most eager | wish to earn, somewhere, a great deal of | money so as to endow a school for poor lost children in my own country, and the invitation to America came as’a direct answer; so_that I go there in this confi- dence and I pray God in heaven out of a full heart that he will guide me thither as ever before with his gentle hand and will graciously forgive me in my sins and my infirmities. I shall have much to en- counter; it is a very arduous undertaking. But since I have no less an aim before me than to help in widening God's kingdom t(er;l‘ littlenesses of life vanish In face of 5. As a proof of this sincerity in spirit she sent for the Mayor of New York the night of her first concert in America and divided the proceeds, nearly $10,000, according to his advice among the charities of the city. This precedent she followed throughout her trip, giving the cntire amount re- ceived from her American tour, more than £40,000, among charities. his tour brought her a great sorrow and a greagJoy. Her mother’'s death sad- dened Jenn® Lind's visit to America. While in Boston the prima donna, then | In her thirty-first year, was married to Otto Goldschmidt, an accomplished young musician, who had accompanied her at several of her concerts. The marriags proved a most happy one and upon their return ‘they founded a home in England. Here Mme. Goldschmidt led the busiest, happiest kind of a life, for she said she had found “all that her heart ever want- ed or loved.” Before settling in England the young wife sang to delighted audi- ences in Holland, Austria, Ireland and Germany. She sang thereafter only on special occasions, generally for charity, sometimes In oratorio, sometimes in - the opera of “Ruth,” composed by her hus- band, and sometimes in concert with Mme. Schumann or alone. To the last she retained the fire and charm of that resistless volce, which was a combination of the special qualities of several prima donnas. One surprising fea- ture to her audiences was her ability, upon attaining an unusually high note (to | reach which her hearers. through the habit of mind induced by listening to other great singers, would suppose her to have expended all her strength) to carol | away with the easé, the insouciance of a | bird. She possessed, too, an origina! wonderful reserve power in her voice, which enabled her carefully to avold any temptation to mere stage vocalism and with a fine reticence to hold her power well in hand until she reached the, well planned climax. which invarfably swept her audience out of itself into the en- chanted realm where she reigned su- preme. Besides her originality she had a dramatic force, based upon the study of the art of Rachel, which would have won her distinction, even if she had not been a prima donna. To these gifts she added fire, sympathy, an intellectual grasp or her subject and sincerity—a combination of the gifts of several artistic tempera- ments. And yet, so all clare, the magic o ing to the | r contemporaries de- ¢ ber voice was as noth- Trw“l' y of the woman. So keen was her intellectual grasp of the topics, the problems of the day, o nobis yet 30 kindly withal was her conception of iife and its duties, that those who wers uplifted by the charm of her voice de- clared, like the mother of Dean Stanley, that they ‘‘would rather hear Jenny nfk than sing.” Back of all charm lay the goodness of the woman—a simple-hearted goodness which leveled all class distine- tions, which converted the skeptic and strengthened the believing—the perfect flowing of a deeply practical, religious na- ture upon which bPad been grafted the marvelous gift of music. Because Chris- tianity was ‘he master spring of her life her message was optimistic. and therefora ptul. She said that she was glad from motning til night. as who would not be, instrusted with the guardianship of so great a gift? Surrounded by her happy_children and srandchildren, she died as beautifully as she had lived. Stretching out her hapds to the sunlight coming in through the shutters which her daughter had Lu':t opened, there burst from her lips the t notes of her favorite, “An den Sonnen- schein,” and so -!ntlnf. there passed into the eternal sunshine Jenny Lind, one of tho most helpful geniuses that the world has ever known. ————— Sold Undersized Bass.
