Everywhere he won great success, not only in the Italian repertory, but also in the presentations of “Die Walkitre,” “Lohengrin,” “Tannhäuser,” and the “Damnation of Faust.” He was the conductor for the impresario Vacchi during a tour of South America, including a stay in Buenos Aires, Rosario, Montevideo and Rio de Janeiro. From there he went to Spain, where he conducted with great success at the Theater Municipal of Valencia and at the Principal of Seville.
Since 1915 Mr. Ferrari remained solely in Milan, where, as first conductor of the orchestra, he won highest honors, conducting all the repertory, and where he also presented works by Puccini, Giordano, Bossi, Zandonai and Donandy, all of whom considered him one of the most faithful interpreters of their music.

A Distant Admirer
That the Musical Courier travels far is shown by a letter received by Marguerita Sylva from Germany, where an admirer had just seen a picture of her when she recently appeared in the “Skylark.” The young gentleman, who addresses Mme. Sylva as “Director, Belmont Theatre,” writes as follows:
I be collector photograph personal from film-actress and actress with signature. And I become be very glad, when you miss me on picture from you at me send.
On heartily thank and kissing of the hand you sincerely,

Title page has spring scenery, with leaves, birds and much green. Words and tones fit one thought, and the piano part adds to the effect. For high and low voices.
“If I Were a Sunbeam” (verse by Bess Evangeline Murch) is an “expression-song,” tenderly gentle, saying the singer would nestle in her hair, would touch her cheek, would lie close to her throbbing heart, “then gladly would I die!” Seems to a common mortal that that is the time to begin to live! A sunrise scene illuminates the title page. For high and low voices.
“Invocation” is by Frederick H. Martens, and is a very dramatic song, quite unlike the others of this set. “Life, give me thy brimming bowl! Give me thy wine and roses! Lo, I will pay the toll,” says the poet, and to this Mr. Spross has written finely expressive music, full of nobility, ardent, striving, reaching the depths, big chords, impressive contrast, very loud, very soft, high tones of thrilling meaning all are found in this unusual song, which might well be for voice with orchestra. Title page shows a young Greek goddess holding up the brimming bowl, with temple, clouds, trees, darkness in the distance. Dedicated to Cyrena Van Gordon. In three keys.
Angelo Ferrari’s Dream Came True
Angelo Ferrari comes from a family of men who have given many lawyers and judges to Italy, but all of whom were fervent lovers of the “bell art” in general, and of music in particular. His father, a doctor of law, enjoyed the best social position in his city, and although a lawyer, played the piano pretty well, also the flute. He desired that one of his sons should concentrate all his efforts towards a musical career, not to become a master, but in order to complete more thoroughly his education.
Angelo Ferrari was only eight years old when one evening, for the first time, he was taken by his father to the Theater La Scala, where they were singing “Lohengrin,”

and the imprint made on him was such that when he returned home he rushed to his father, placed his little arms around his neck, and crying, said: “Papa, I want to become a director of an orchestra.” Since that time Mr. Ferrari has demontrated by his tenacity and by his iron will that his decision was unchanged. So his. father sent him to a musical school where he was taught pianoforte. Later he studied the cello and his progress was such that when he was fourteen years old, he was already a member of an orchestra. He studied composition under the direction of Maestro R. Frumann and afterward at the Royal Conservatory of Parma. Ferrari made his debut as director of an orchestra when only nineteen years old at the Comunale Theater of Modane. He was first conductor during five seasons at the Theater Pergola of Florence, four
