"THE ART OF SINGING." By JUSTIN LeROY HARRIS. Subject of First Paper--The Italian vs. German Vocal Schools. The Instrumental Style of Vocalism.

No other compliment ever pleased

Jenny Lind so much as being called the "Swedish Nightingale." And in

- national purity, emotional Intensity and senuous beauty of tone her voice Was often compared to bird-song. But

this was a great Injustice to Jenny

Lind for bird-song is not true song. In as much as the nightingale uses

no words, It3 music might properly

bo classed as Instrumental. The ad vantage the vocalist has over the bird or over any mere musical instrument consists In his ability to unite words with music, and so express a definite feeling and emotion. It is true that many Instruments have a characteristic emotional tone-colour. We often speak of the amourous violoncello, the serene flute, the boastful trumpet, the majestic trombone, the grieving violin. But while the violin may express an intense yearning or an overpowering grief, It cannot tell the nature of that emotion whether It be the yearning of a maiden for her absent lover, or that of a bluebird for the return of spring, whether it be the grieving of a mother for her dead son, or the grief of a Judas who Las betrayed his Christ. It is this double power of uniting a definite statement with Indefinite tones that makes vocal music so impressive and so interesting. And yet it is a curious fact that until quite recently singers have not taken advantage of this double func

tion of the voice but have rather attempted to cultivate or imitate in the voice the purely instrumental effects

and styles of 'the orchestra: Tho era of this method of vocal development

possibly reached its culmination in

Italy a century ago. The instrumen

tal function of the voice was given

the entire attention or the teachers, and after a course of six or seven

years of studthe voice was so per-

Method." One of the first questions asked me in Richmond was: "Do you teach the old Italian method?" Sofrankly, very little Is known of this old Italian method. The greatest of

the old Italian teachers left no printed

rules. The Italian school hat always rested almost entirely on traditions

handed down orally from teacher to pupil. And it can be readily seen that

what was originally the Italian me

thod has in each successive transmis

sion from teacher to' pupil, been col

ored by the light of that teacherls ex

perience.

The greatest achievement of the Old Italian Method and doubtless the most perfect vocalist of the age was Mme. Patti. Her voice was full, rich

and liquid perfect as regards beauty

of tone and flexibility. She would

from a piano to a forte gradually or

suddenly with perfect ease. In her

fectly developed and under such ab

solute mechanical control as to actually rlva the orchestral instruments in . buty of tone, power of endurance and agility of excution indeed even to surpass them, for we have all heard of the male sopranist. Farinelli who actually did beat a noted German trumpeter in holding and swelling his notes and after being applauded , wildly " for several minutes sang a difficult aria with such marvelous rapidity that tho orchestra were unable to keep up with him. Caffarelli used to entertain his audiences by singing in one breath a chromatic chain of trills up and down two octaves. In the music written at that time a single word or syllable was sung to as many as 150 notes, and

if these notes were not written In

by the composer they were supplied

at will by the singer. It Is on ac

count of this mal-treatment of the text by the singers that the composers

of the Italian operas used such silly

and worthless libretti. The Bel Canto

It was Inevitable that the . public should tire of these vocal gymnastics as soon as the wonder of it wore away,

so a new style of song was invented

the cantablle, the bel canto or beautiful song, which was very melodious

and charming and often of exquisite

beauty. rvw the Italians were a

plump, well-developed race with heal

thy natural voices of wide range. This

combined with the natural treatment, the voice received from their teachers, their mild climate , their language abounding in sonorous vowels and the amiability of the old Maestros In alharsh sacrificing the mixed vowels and harsh consonants to euphony, m made the Italian voice one of such purity and richness of tone as to seem to be saturated with sweetness. And so it was with no thought of emphasizing what was sung that the bel canto was invented, but simply to display this natural sweetness and rich warmth of tone. No attention was paid to the text and all striving for dramatic effect was sacrificed for beauty of tone. Consequently the charm of the bel canto lay in a purely instumental effect the same charm that one feels in hearing the sensuous beauty of tone of an old cremona violin, mellow with age, and it was a pleasure to hear these charming melodies, irrespective of the subject of the song. The Old Italian Method. The trade-cry of nine-tenths of our vocal teachers is "The Old Italian

early career the abundance of uncalled

for scales, trills and staccatos she

sang, maintaining the sensuous beauty

of her tone and facility of execution,

would by their mere technical diflicul

ty appal most modern singers. There

are still many admirers of this styl

of singing who think it worth while

for a vocalist to spend many years of

arduous toil in learning to execute

fioriture which a violinist could learn

to play In a few weeks. A style of

singing which tells little more of the

text than the flutes or violins Mo is

decidedly unvocal and should be aban

doned forever. Lovers of vocal "tight

(rope dancing" and thread-bare orchestral accompainment, who insist that

"Wagner is merely a, , fashion" and

that ere long we will return to the

sacchaine melodies of Rossini and

Verdi have not studied the history of

Opera. Rossini and Verdi themsel

ves expressed their opinion of writ

ing their best and most mature works in a' style approaching that of genuine dramatic song, and with

scarcely a trace of colorature. And

the history of opera and song, has

always gone hand in hand.

Now flexibility and sensuous beauty

of tone are very desirable things in

music. Chopin's valses lose half their

characteristic beauty if played on a poor piano, or by one who does not use the pedal in such a way as to

produce a continuous stream of rich

saturated sound. The Italians de serve great praise for their proficien

cy in producing beautiful tone. But

all characterization, dramatic effect

variety of tone-colour are bartered

away for sensuous beauty of tone. The

criticism of the German school is that it barters away all beauty of tone for

dramatic effects, and this is the difference between the- Italian and the

German styles of singing. The Ital

ian sings for the pleasure of the thing itself. The German makes hi 3 song the means of a definite emotional expression. In striving for emotional tone-colour, the German does ol'ten lose all beauty of tone. Bnt the Germans are more robust than the Italians, with more powerful voices, and their climate is conducive to frequent throat trouble, so that the gift -of mellow, supple song does nor como to them naturally. Then German teachers have foolishly triad to adapt the voices of their pupils to th3 Italian bel canto which is incompatible with the German language. It will never be possible to sing in the German language so sweetly as in the Italian. Comopolitian Vocal School. If I had the time I should' like to tell you how the cosmopolitan vocal school of America has reconciled the German with the Italian, the Trench with the English vocal schools. The

Italian method is good as far as it

goes. For purity of tone, portomento,

scales, trills and facile vocalization it

is unequalled. But the modern romantic and dramatic spirit demands more characterization, vigor, soulful accentuation. The Italian school gives us the mellow, sonorous voice, to which

the German method adds conscien

tiousness, passion and distinctness of pronunciation, and adapting its mel

odic accent to its word accent, mnkes the melody heighten the effect of the text as does that of the sketch in painting. . K

And since the English language and

English character have much more of German .vigor and masculine strength than ofItalian indolence, the English vocal tyte of the future must inei-

tablybe modelled after the German

styl

IMPRESSES THE PEOPLE

DURING HIS SHORT STAY1N RICHMOND HE FINDS" MANY PERSONS IN SYMPATHY WITH HIS MISSION.

Dr. Richard Carroll, of Columbia, S. C, president of the South Carolina Industrial Home for Destitute colored children, and also founder of that Institution, has favorably impressed the many Richmond people with whom'

he has come In contact during his few days in Richmond.

Tomorrow night" at the closing ses

sion or the Chautauqua, Dr. Carrol will, discuss the "Race Problem"

from his own point of view and

though it is the closing feature of many good features it promises 'to be

one of the very best of the Chautauqua season. Dr. Carroll's statement

regarding his mission on the lecture

platform and of some of his views

are best given in his own words as

follows:

Some time ago, I signed contracts

with Mr. James M. Shaw, of Blooming

ton, Illinois, to deliver some lectures at his various : Chautauquas, and the subject assigned me was "The Negro

Problem," a subject which I hate to discuss. I know no man, white or

black, who has been able to furnish

a solution of the problem that is satis

factoner to the American white people

With the negro himself, there Is no problem. The problem is in the hands

of the white people. Day after day

the problem grows larger and becomes

more difficult to solve. This is ac

counted for because of the fact that

the negro is making advancement and improvement and is getting in the

way of the white man, or becoming a

competitor, or becoming more and more like the white man, taking the white man's civilization, the white

man's religion, and the white man's

virtues and the white man's crimes

Before the war there was no negro

problem, since the war he has become

a free man and a citizen and voter,

hence the problem

Since I have been West, I find that

on account of my recent illness, I am not able to deliver many lectures and

so spend much of my time invest!

gating, talking to white and colored men, politicians, Christians, newspa

per men, statesmen, and everwhere

find that prejudice against the negro race is growing. It is spreading, it is

found where 3-ou least expect to find

it. In Marshall county, in Indiana,

where I lectured last Sunday,, no ne

gro is anowea to settle ana tnis is

true of ajbout ten counties in Indiana

Reputation is what people believe

we are. .Newspapers and orators from the South have given the negro a bad reputation. The Associated

Press, itself, delights in parading in

criminal white people. Brutal and criminal white people make brutal and

criminal negroes.

I wish to close by saying that I am

a South Carolinian, and with all its faults I love it still, and I mean to contribute every effort and all the powers I have for the betterment of my state, and I am still convinced

that oppression and hardships, the South-Is the logical and best home for the negro, but there he must work out his salvation, though "with fear

and trembling." All negroes are not angels, all white people are -:t en-

gels; all negroes are not brutes, all

white people are not brutes. If the South wants desirable Immigrants to come and live among them, they must

all seek to get a better reputation for the negro of the South as well as for the white people. Intelligent white people do not desire to live among

black nor white brutes. And yet some of the black and white people

have given .the world to understand

that life and prosperity is not safe in the South.

faults and crimes of the negro before

the country. They want something to print that will be readable, some

thing "exciting," something that "will

take," and the black sheep is the most notted sheep in the pasture of coiirsa.

In my speeches I have endeavored

to show that all negroes are nolj brutes, all negroes are no more alike than all white people are alike, and that all white people of the South are

not lynchers and murderers; that there are as good white citizens in the South as can be found anywhere in the world and that there are as good negroes In the South as can be found anywhere in the world. In parading the faults of the negro before the country, we aro not only injuring the negro, but we are injuring the South. I think I am rendering for better service to my State when I stand up and tell the Western and Northern people of the advantages of the South, its educational advantages, its advantages for paying investments, its healthful climate, its intelligent and Christian citizens, of its "unequaled hospitality, its generosity, of its old chivalry, and pariotism. I know of no good that

has ever come from the negro orator who sought on every occasion while facing a Northern audience to parade

the wickedness of the Southern white people, or to tell of how many crimes

there are in the South or to speak of

Southern barbarity since the war. In seeking to injure the white race along this line, he hurts his own people. Thus, you see, our reputation is bad.

and both the reputation of the Southern negro and the Southern white man

is hurt. I Tillman's . Lectures. The people who have heard Sena

tor B. R. Tillman lecture in the West are under the impression that he has

a dead negro for breakfast every morning and that no white man living in the South has had a breakfast since the war without a negro. If Senator

Tillman is guilty of murdering a negro,, I do not know it, I have said on

many occasions that his feeling to

wards the negro is just as good as the

average white man's; that he has ne

groes who have lived on his planta

tion for more than 20 years, and who

idolize and honor him, and look upon

him as their best friend. And yet Senator Tillman is speaking to the

Northern and Western people gives the impression that a dead negro is the daily bread of the white people of

South Corolina.

The prosperity of the white man

means the prosperity of the negro.

The prosperity of the negro means

prosperity of the white man. Tho

education of one race means the education cf the other. The negroes are very much like the white people

among whom they live in the South. Brutal and criminal negroes make

homes. What justifies it? The really inexpensive way for people to live, would be to colonize. Every material could then be bought cheaper. The preparation of food and the construction of garments could be more cheaply done. Why don't we

do it? Simply because it would not be home. It is the love of the people for home that . induces them to make homes. . It is the place for the protection and the perfection of the child and the child is the hope of the country. Three Important Elements. "In my mind there are three elements that play an important part in the perfect development and education of the child in the home. These three elements are health, right ideals and preparedness." Mrs. Meredith then briefly outlined the home-makers work in bringing out the best results in these three necessary elements. The health of

the child, she maintained, came first

and there was nothing of greater im

portance for the mother to look after.

Mrs. Meredith" especially urged upon

her hearers the great value of sleep

and said that while the new born

babe knew how to sleep perfectly, the older the child became the less

apt it was to sleep well, to breathe

properly. Spoiling the child and neg

lect in various forms were things

that had a baneful influence upon

its health.

Right ideals were necessary to tha

proper intellectual ana spiritual development of the child. If the

ideals of the mother were not of high

order, the child would be affected by the influence the mother exerted and

would be injured as a result.

Preparedness, Mrs. Meredith said,

was dependent upon the ideals of the

home, and the mother's influence for

good or bad had its direct result.

Not an Easy Task.

'This home-making is not an easy

task," said Mrs. Meredith, "but quite

to the contrary it is a difficult one

Men make successes as bankers, mer

chants, railroad men, etc., but how

many men' would make good home

makers. 118 is not to be found. Of

course the men do not think the science of home making is difficult, but

the woman knows i tis."

Mrs. Meredith also dwelt with great

emphasis on the importance of economy in the home. The woman in times past, in generations past, she said, was the wealth producer, but now she was the consumer of wealth.

Almost all of the money spent in the

home was spent by the women. It was an easy thing, she declared, for the man to earn a dollar, but the great wisdom came In spending the dollar

well.

In concluding, Mrs. Meredith en

couraged the development of art in

our home the supplanting of the ugly for the things that were beautiful.

She maintained that it was a common

right for everybody to have beautiful things, even , though they were inexpensive. The proper sort of dis

crimination between the beautiful and

the ugly was easy to cultivate, she

said.
