TlhLG Airt off Singling JUSTIN LEROY HARRIS. Questions and Answers: Should a Singer With a Good Solo Voice Do Chorus WorL
No soloist, either ameteur or professional, should neglect an opportunity to study standard choral works. The very best way to get an intimate acquaintance with the internal structure of one of these great masterpieces is to sing them through. I cannot conceive of a musician (either vocal or instrumental) who has In his or her heart a genuine love for music, failing to appreciate the splendid opportunity offered by our May Festival chorus for becoming intimately acquainted each year with two or three of the best of the larger works In musical literature. Of course choral rehearsals are apt to be long, and often are a strain on mutrained voices. But the singer who sings correctly seldom gets "sung out". Common sense must guide those whose voices are subject to a severe strain in a lengthy rehearsal. If the hnras has some notes that are mani
festly too high for you, do not try to reach them. If you find your throat giving out, do not sing any more that venin You can follow the music
and become, familiar with it without
Singing a note.
t cnmif this nrnnosition to the SO-
in" voices of our city: How can you
have an opportunity to sing the solo parts in an oratorio or an opera or a cantata unless you have a chorus cm thir nart? The singers with
the good voices should add their prestige" to the chorus. The director needs the best musicians to aid him In establishing a strict and pronounced rhythm, and in coming to the rescue when the difficult intervals confuse the inexperienced members. If the "musicians" of our city do not support such a splendid musical effort as is that of our Festivals, to whom should we look for support? A musician must be many sided, and his Interest not selfish. He should ever be ready to hrow his influence on the side of whatever in music or art deserves his support. Is it right to alter notes or make other changes in musical compositions. When a composer dies he leaves U3 nothing but the little black dots on the music paper which tells us only too imperfectly of the beautiful fabric his brain has wrought, and which he has taken with him to another world. It is easy to play what is written but how can we play what the inspired soul meant by his writing. No man can interpret the inspired meaning of a. dead master unless he has within himself the spark of Inspiration. This spark of inspiration gives him kinship with the dead. Inspiration is a mark of genius which has been handed down from hand to hand ever since the beginning of the race. It is a feeling in one's heart by which he knows he is a son of tha great inspired kings of the earth. To the man of inspiration, who finds no toil to hard, no stress of study or moral struggle to great, it is sometimes permitted to see beyond this mortal veil. Unless one can enter into the lovely fairyland of a com
poser's creation, thatnew world 01
new powers, new emotions strength, so satisfying to him who un-
rfpr5temd it. he should not auempt
to interpret it all. much less to alter
the only part of it whicn ne can
.ionrlv understand.
Tf the right method or singing is
the natural method, why do we have
to be taught?
Because a thing Is humanly nat ural it need not necessarily be ac
at the- truth, for human na-
teptcvi -- a ta yv nn means infallible. The
IUIC 13 "J km addaee says "To err is human.
We do great many stroclous things nnrnticiously. We have done them
so long that they have become invol-
nntnrv. or in other words, natural.
It is natural for some people to eat
n-ih a knife and unnatural to use
fnrk. Even our sense of beauty de.
pends on our conception of truth, so we are forced to admit that the term
"natural" may mean much or ntue.
What constitutes a good accompan
ist?
Of course an accompanist must be
tnnpH to execute at
eirht the most difficult musical passa
ires, and have a command over a broad
crescendo or an infinitesimal diminu-
prrtn. A little fitful and Inaccurate
,ivvkht,ct uMth th kev-board is not
accompanying. Some of our modern ballads might survive
up Riirh treatment, but for any one to at
tempt Schumann or Franz in such a
wnv la conduct Indicative 01 a eiy
feeble musical conscience.
Nor is a sympathetic temperament alone sufficient. The accompanist
who would please mo must be mes
meric intuitive. She must know
what I want before I tell her. She must feel my mood, for the moods of the soul are swift as thought, and
change in less time than they can be told. If I must pause to tell her those
nuick and subtle transitions of fancy,
emotion, passion, she is of no use to me. If she can not understand them nrithmit thfi tellintr she will not be
able to understand them with the tell
ing. When I sing the first passage thus, she must guess that I will hurry the first measure of the next, retard
the following two counts and porto-
mento softly to the final note. She will not dare to strike in at the end
of a half note for she wi feel that my imagination has stretched it out to at least another semibreve. The
rhythm of my soul she will follow It ainriA Is her metronome. For better
or for worse she follows me., Some
times her accompaniment ' covers me as with thunder; sometimes it lifts
my spirit up "as the winds buoy up

In addition there are fully forty-eight others whose individual fortunes range from $16,000,000 down to $1,000,000. The organization is the most unique of its kind in the world.

This has unexpectedly been found to be the case with the proposed visit of the battleship Louisiana to New Orleans, a visit which had to be abondoned because the harbor could not Accomodate the vessel. In New York harbor dredges are working day and night to have a channel cut that will insure; the safe entry of the two big liners now building in Great Britain. That this condition of affairs should prevail In the most important North and South ports of this country is due entirely to the short-sighted policy of Congress in devoting more than 40 per cent of appropriations to providing for the army and navy, for pensions and the Interior Department, and giving less than 5 per cent to rivers and harbors improvement. Of what use will be a greater navy if the harbors of the nation cannot shelter the vessels in case of war or storm? This is a querry that is being asked here daily, and which finds no answer. The question probably will be one of the topics of discussion at the convention of the National Rivers and . Harbors' .Congress, which meets here December 6 and 7. .

Much amusement - has been occasioned in unofficial Washington this
week by the legacy left to the local branch of the Brewery Workers Unton by Joseph Lindauer, a member of the organization, who died recently in Pittsburg. On his deathbed, Lindauer, evidently with deliberation, perpetrated a joke on his fellows by bequeathing to the union the sum of $2,000with the stipulation that the sum be expended on a feast which was
to last until the last penny of the $2,000 was spent in eatables and drinkables. The President - of the local union was instructed to ' bringj back the body for burial, and preparations were made for the greatest, lbancuet that Washington workincmen
