TRIBUNE CRITIC PRAISES VATICAN CHICAGO SINGING

Singers Prove Artistic Worth From Very Start, Says Chicago Music Critic. Editor's Xote: The following article la by W. L. Hubbard, music critic of the Chicago Tribune, and 13 a review of the quatette's concert In that city. Tho concert Beason In Orchestra hall opened brilliantly yesterday afternoon. The audience filled every available seat In the auditorium and on the i'tage left only place for the concert fiiver3 and their errand nlano. And

enthusiasm matched the size of the assemblage. It was the first hearing in Chicago of the quartet of singers from tho Slstlne chapel in Rome and interest especially in Roman church circles, naturally was at the highest. It may be said at once that the four singers proved conclusively and enjoyably their artistic worth, and the program, although more severe than concert audiences are accustomed to listen to on Sunday afternoons, nevertheless held attention close from beginning to end, and speedily roused to approval hearty and generous. Two or three selections needed to he heard before the majority of the bearers came fully in harmony with 'the work. The American public is not faocustomed to the male soprano and the male contralto, and the effect of the voices of Alessandro Gabrielll, so-rpi-ano, and Luigl Gentili, contralto, impressed at first as strange and to i-some almost ludricous. But soon the finish and ease of the 'work done, the beauty of the voices themselves and the unmistakable sincerity and earnestness of the two men fcaused only music values to be considered, and the remainder of the program brought but steadily Increasing .satisfaction and pleasure. The afternoon became thus one of iliigh merit. The four men sing with

a perfection of technical precision that tells of long nxd diligent preparation, with a delicacy of shading and an unanimity of interpretation that evidence careful and constant rehearsing under some one directing mind that is a mind of fine musical taste and feeling. Especially exquisite is the work ctone along tho lines of pianissimo and medium volumed singing. Here tho four voices blend and balance perfectly. Only when fuller effects are used do the two ends of the quartet impress as weak. Then the contralto of Mr. Gentili and the tenor of Mr. Gecchini tend to overshadow the voices of their fellows, and it is only in such moments that the soprano of Mr. Gabriclli takes on suggestion of roughness and impurity. Voices of True Beauty. These moments, however, were comparatively few yesterday afternoon and the four voices throughout the remainder of the program impressed as of true beauty and admirably used. Mr. Gabrielli's soprano is oftentimes of surprising loveliness, and the audience yesterday was quick to respond to it. Thf program was in two parts, the firct being devoted to sacred compositions, and for these the four men appeared in the vestments of the Vatican choir. For the second half, which was devoted to secular selections, they donned evening dress. The church numbers were given with finest possible appreciation of their sacred imioit, and with a nicety of shading and nuance that brought out the interleaving melodic lines of their contrapuntal ttructure with gratifying clarity and admirable effect. Particularly lovely were the "O Vos Omnes" of Vittoria, voicing the lamenting of the Virgin Mary, and the motet of perosi. M0 Sacrum Convlvium," which proved one of the most beautiful and satisfying selections of the afternoon.

Of the secular offerings Paleatrlna's madrigal showed the earnest old master in mood but little lighter than he stands revealed in his churchly compositions, but the "Vesper Hour" of Antollsel, by its tonal beauty and Its hint of twilight mood, and the Muller "Return of the Sheep," in which some truly remarkable tinkling bell effects were achieved by the singers, showed the quartet at Its most appealing ability. Marchetti's "Prayer," which is operatic in manner, finished the program, but the singers remained and gave with Italian text an excellent rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner."

While there is quite unusual musical interest attached to the coming concert on Monday, October 13, by four soloists from the Sistine Chapel of Rome, the historic feature of the event is no less impressive. For this visit to Americca of members of the far famed Sistine Chapel Choir will never be forgotten; it has a distinct place in our musical history as well as in the long and eventful history of the Sistine choir itself. As far back as the fourth century the records of this first Christian choral body are traced. The Sistine choir of today is the

reason that the presence here in America of soloists from the Sistine Choir is of great historical import.

Have Many Years Experience. The artists now touring America are four soloists who have sung in the Sistine Chapel for ten or twelve years. Alessandro Gabrielll, the soprano member of the quartette, has long, been known as the possessor of a phenomenal voice, and is of course celebrated over Italy. He was a boy soprano, as was Lulgl Gentili, who is the contralto of the visiting singers. The other two artists are natural voices. Ezio Cec-

result of uninterrupted work in ecclesiastical singing schools (Schola Cantorum) during years that reach down Into the dim early ages. The first music of which there is any record in the Christian era, was that sung by the Cloistered Monks of Italy, and it is from their rudimentary experiments in chanting Latin texts that music developed. Thus for sixteen hundred years there has been perpetuated a body of choristers whose singing has formed a part of the special services presided over by the pope. In all these hundreds of years only once before have members of the choir sung outside of Italy. That was many centuries ago, when during the reign of a certain pontiff, the seat of power was transferred from Rome to Avignon. It is for this

that the singers were free on Monday, and arrangements were speedily made to bring them to the Coliseum. Tickets are on sale at Fulglium's. Father Roell Praises Them. After reading their credentials, no doubt remains that these four soloists are all that is claimed for them, and that a rare treat is in store for the lovers of high class music in our city, said Father Roell, of St. Andrews, Wednesday. The programs rendered by them in the east, as published by the Catholic press, are so arranged that those, too, not specially interested in the masterpieces of ecclesiastical music, are sure to be delighted by compositions in a lighter vein.

German Blacklist Does Not Have Bill's Name

PARIS. Oct. S. The newspapers announce that the list of German officials and o'her persons to be delivered to the allies for trial now are virtually ready for submission to Germany. The newspapers point out that the lists do not contain the name of the former emperor of Germany, who is to be dealt with separately.

Omission of tho name of the former German monarch from the lists of persons whom Germany is required to surrender for offenses in violation of the laws and customs of war has no significance, since the peace treaty makes a clear distinction between ''William II of Hohenzollern, formerly German Emperor" whose indictment for "a supreme offense against international morality and the sancity of treaties," is contained in one article of the treaty, and persons accused of having committed acts in violation of the laws and customs of war, whose surrender for trial is provided for in another article.
