at the Johann-Strauss Theater of Vienna in the middle of April, the plan of first producing the work in Italy having been abandoned.
Protestant Oratorio.
Hamburg, March 8.—Gerhard von Keussler’s oratorio, entitled “Die Mutter,” has just had a very successful première here. This composition endeavors to introduce new elements into oratorio and culminates in some very impressive choruses with well known church hymns as cantus firmus. It is considered to be the first important work of Protestant Church music since the days of Brahms. A. S.
English Music in Vienna.
Vienna, March 11.—Cyril Scott is at present spending a few months here concertizing. He will be followed in April by Arthur Bliss, who will visit Vienna with a number of English musicians, including Adrian C. Boult, to give concerts devoted to contemporary English composers. P. B.
Luigi Mancinelli’s Memory Honored.
Rome, March 11.—A commemorative concert in honor of Luigi Mancinelli, the celebrated conductor and composer who died a year ago, was recently given at the Augusteo. The program contained a transcription of Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” and seven numbers by Mancinelli. Mancinelli’s music is effective, theatrical and richly orchestrated, but unoriginal.	D. P.
Hamburg’s Two Operas to Fuse.
Hamburg, March 11.—With the advent of the new opera director, Leopold Sachse, great changes have taken place. The Municipal Theater and the Volksoper, which have always functioned independently, have now been united under one management, i. e., the Volksoper has been taken over by the other company and will be fused with it in 1924. It will in future present comic opera and light operatic works, while the Municipal Opera will reserve the grand operas and music dramas for itself.	A. S.
“Mme. Pompadour” in Operetta.
Berlin, March 13.—Leo Fall is at present engaged on a new operetta which will have the title of “Madame Pompadour” and is based on a libretto made jointly by Ernst Welish and Rudolph Schanzer.
Opera by Mill Hands.
London, March 17.—Cottonopolis (as Manchester is often called) has recently been the scene of a performance of Balfe’s “Bohemian Girl,” in which a loom tacker took the part of Florenstein and a weaver that of Arline. Other principals, chorus and dancers were also mill lads and lassies. Frequent performances of “The Messiah,” “Elijah” and “Crucifixion” are given by factory or pit workers to whom music is their chief relaxation.	G. C.
Rome Applauds Marionette Operetta.
Rome, March 11.—“Ciottolino” (“Little Stone), a new operetta written for marionettes, set to music by Ferrari Tricate, has just had its première at the Teatro dei Piccoli. The music is harmonious and flowing, absolutely Italian in its character, and the operetta had a great success. D. P.
Vreuls Meets with Success.
Brussels, March 17.—“Oliver the Simple,” music by Victor Vreuls, the Belgian composer, and text by Jules Delacre, which just had its première at the Théâtre de la Monnaie, met with much success.	G. C.
Orchestral Developments.
London, March 17.—A new string orchestra, to be called the Euterpe String Players, is being formed in London under the direction of C. Kennedy Scott. The object is the formation of a body of players, professional and ama-

Javanese Instruments in Vienna Concert.
Vienna, March 13.—The program of yesterday’s special concert, given by the Philharmonic Orchestra under Franz Schalk, contained a novelty entitled “Rural Mood Pictures,” by Sieglinde Hofland-Leber, an Austrian lady resident in Java, who has assumed the pseudonym of Linda Bandara. She employs original Javanese percussion instruments, which were placed at her disposal and especially sent to Vienna by the Sultan of Java. The piece created a favorite impression.	P. B.
New Strauss “Hymns” Heard at Vienna.
Vienna, March 8.—Two of the new “Hymns” by Richard Strauss, after poems by Hölderlin, were sung here for the first time by Barbara Kemp, from Berlin, with Max Von Schillings conducting and the composer himself enthusiastically applauding from the box.	P. B.
Spanish Music Festival for Berlin.
Madrid, March 18.—The Association of Spanish Composers has decided to organize a “music festival” in Berlin next month, which is to give a survey of modern Spanish music, but in which German music, classic and modern, is also to have a part. E. F. Arbös, the most famous Spanish orchestral conductor, is to conduct the concerts, and it is likely that the whole of the "Orquestra Sinfonica” will be sent to Berlin, with the support of the Spanish Government.

Spalding a Rome Favorite.
Rome, March 19.—Albert Spalding, the American violinist, scored an extraordinary success at the last Augusteo concert under Molinari, playing the Brahms concerto with Bruch’s “Scotch Fantasy.” He was many times recalled and was finally obliged to interrupt the course of the orchestral concert with four encores. Spalding also had a striking success in his recital at the Santa Cecilia and has established himself as a favorite in Rome.	D. P.
New Works by Unger Successful.
Cologne, March 14.—Three orchestral poems, entitled “Auf den Tod des Geliebten” (after Richada Huch), by Hermann Unger, had a successful première here under the baton of Hermann Ritter, of Vienna. Dr. Unger is the Musical Courier’s Berlin correspondent.	K. L.
Hindemith Opera to Be Given.
Frankfurt, Germany, March 14.—“Sancta Susann,” the one act opera of the ultra-radical German composer, Paul Hindemith, will shortly have its stage première at the Neues Theater in Frankfurt. A concert performance has been previously given, as reported in the Musical Courier.	P. R.
Braunfels’ “Apocalypse” Cologne Success.
Cologne, March 19,—Walter Braunfels, the Munich composer, appeared here recently in the double role of composer and pianist, playing a Mozart concerto with considerable success. The Gürzenich chorus and orchestra produced his “Apocalypse,” a work conceived in the monumental style of Berlioz, originally produced in Munich some years ago, and recently revived under Siegel in Krefeld. The weakest point of this otherwise remarkable work is the difficulty of the voice parts, which are almost impossible to sing correctly. However, the performance here was excellent. The composer also witnessed a fine performance of his opera, “Die Vögel,” at the Municipal Theater.	H. U.
British National Opera in Scotland.
Edinburgh, March 18.—The newly formed British National Opera Company has just completed the first two weeks’ performances of Grand Opera in Scotland. The success of the visit has been assured, but not phenomenal. They have preferred to “play safe,” leaving variety and novelty for future consideration. The first Scottish stage performance of “Parsifal” was a great artistic success, whether it is considered from the musical or scenic point of view, or both; and their single genuine novelty was Offenbach’s “The Goldsmith of Toledo,” performed also for the first time in Scotland. But none of their productions came up to that of Mozart’s “The Magic Flute,” given in a new high art setting which added enormously to its general effectiveness.	W. S.
