Gaines’ “Fantasie on a Russian Folk Song,” in which highly artistic singing was heard, with violin obligato by concert-master Guidi; in Rimsky-Korsakoff’s “Hymn to the Sun,” with well sung soprano obligato solo by Margaret Northrop ; and in Otto Wick’s “Penance,” a humorous chorus, (the composer being present), which had to be repeated. Louise M. Baxter, member of the Choral, sang songs by modern composers, Clutsam’s “Ma Curly Headed Baby” best of all. William Janaushek sat still, and played with entire control all the accompaniments to Mr. Thomas’ songs, while Mr. Spross did not sit so still, but played just as effective accompaniments.
Mozart’s , “Magic Flute” Overture opened the concert and Conductor Percy directed with vigor.
Dancing, with Orlando’s orchestra, followed the concert, and the many beautiful gowns of the ladies, the colored lights sometimes cast on the dancers, and the merry throng all was enjoyed. The next event of the Mozart society will be the annual Springtime Festival and Breakfast in Pastels, Saturday, May 6, in the grand ballroom, Hotel Astor. The Mozart Golf Circle announces a series of tournaments also, at St. Albans Golf Club; Areola Country Club; Field and Marine Club, and Scarsdale Golf and Country Club. A new feature of next season will be “Estabrook Night,” December 12; “Schmalholz Night,” January 9, and “Haraden Night,” February 27.
little song than this ■one. Only twenty-seven bars long yet in those few measures he fashioned a tone poem.
“A CHILD’S NIGHT SONG,” for the voice and piano, by Kar-olyn Wells Bassett. A slumber song written in a pleasingly melodious style.
Boosey & Co., New York and London
“RIDE ON! RIDE ON, IN MAJESTY!” a sacred song by Vernon Eville, to words by H. H. Milman. A very fine number for the church service,* by a musician who knows how to write sacred music.
“LITTLE BROTHER’S LULLABY,” from “Flemish Folk Songs,” by Jan Broeck to words by Adrian Ross. Just what the title implies—a lullaby with a singable melody.
“IN THE TREE-TOPS HIGH,” song, by Edwin Schneider, to words by Elizabeth K. Reynolds. A new ballad by a popular composer. It has been published only a short time but has already made its way on the concert program of many prominent singers. Both setting and words make it a good number.	M. J.
Ernestine Bernard Sings for Bel Canto
Mme. Ernestine Bernard, a gifted and well trained Samoiloff pupil, was the singer at the dinner dance given by the Bel Canto Society, Monday *evening, April 10, at the Waldorf-Astoria, and pleased her hearers so completely that she was encored imperatively. Mrs. Charles G. Braxmar, the president; Lazar S. Samoiloff, the founder and musical director; Mrs. Martin and Leonard Liebling, guest of honor, made short addresses.
Blochs at Radio Concert
Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Bloch played on April 6 at the United States Signal Corps Radio Station, at Fort Wood, Bedloe’s Island, N. Y. The officers in charge assured the artist-couple that their concert was heard by over ten thousand people. Mr. Bloch played selections by Kreisler, Rimsky-Korsakoff, Tschaikowsky, Vieuxtemps, Wieniawski, Chopin and Wagner.

Mozart Society’s Third Private Concert
A crowded ballroom, every seat taken; the largest number and best qualified singers ever heard at the Mozart concerts; a fine orchestra, distinguished soloists (John Charles Thomas, baritone, and Erwin Nyiregyhazi, pianist), and finally that spirit of interest in everything done—all this spelled success for the third private concert in the grand ballroom, Hotel Astor, April 18, of the Mozart Society of New York, Mrs. Noble McConnell, founder and president.
This is the thirteenth season of the society, and interest in it was never so intense, so vital, so well expressed through increased membership, applications for joining the choral, etc. Outstanding features of the concert were the fine singing of baritone Thomas, who gave Massenet’s “Vision Fugitive” well, being encored, and later sang the “Pagliacci” prologue and songs by Hendricks, Leoni, Tours and “Danny Deever” with such sympathy of voice and style that he was obliged to add encores; the splendid piano playing of the Hungarian with the unforgettable name, whose ease of execution and crashing fortissimos produced effect, especially in Hungarian dances by Brahms, and pieces by Sinding. Scriabin (an etude in B flat minor) and finally, the big “Faust” fantasia, in the Liszt transcription. Such flashing scales and pearly soft effects are seldom heard, and withal the serious-looking youth (whose name the witty madam president McConnell once pronounced “Nearer¡ azzy”) does it all with such little effort that one realizes he has muscles of steel.
The Choral of ISO voices appeared to best advantage in

Chappell-Harms, Inc., New York and London
[The following list of ballads has just been received from Chappell & Co., Ltd., London, by Chappell-Harms, Inc., the agents in this country. Special attention is called to them for their variety and general good qualities.—Editor.]
“ALL’S WELL,” song, by the well known contributor of good ballads, Teresa Del Riego. The words are by John Oxenham. This selection can be used at any church service. A big, broad number, suitable for all voices.
“YOU, ONLY YOU,” with words and music by Teresa Del Riego. A love ballad that would make an attractive encore number. Short, with a tuneful swinging melody that has quite an appeal. It is very simple in construction and easy to play. It should become a popular number.
“THE PIPER OF LOVE,” music by Molly Carew, who is a musician of considerable ability, and a writer of ballads that please the concert audiences. The words are by J. Anthony McDonald. It would seem that this number is best suited to the male voice. Excellent baritone selection.
“O SHIP OF MY DELIGHT,” music by Montague F. Phillips, to words by Arthur L. Salmon. Another love ballad for the male voice. The musical setting is unusually good. It ripples along and carries the melody making it easy to sing. Can be used as a program number or encore.
“SILVER WATERS,” song, by Robert Coningsby Clarke, to words by Isabel C. Clarke. A charming spring song. After the invocation to spring, of course the minstrel sings to his love. A short encore number.
“THE AULD NEST,” with both words and music by Ernest Longstaffe. The type of song that will always have and hold interest. A Scottish ballad of home and all of the dear memories that surround it. There is a verse and refrain. Suitable for any program.
Oliver Ditson Company, Boston and New York
“TO A HONEY BEE,” a two-part chorus for schools, by Louis Adolphe Coerne.
“JOSHUA,” a unison song by G. W. Chadwick.
“FORWARD MARCH,” by Catharina van Rennes. The English words are by Isidora Martinez.
“FAITH TO WIN,” by Frederick Field Bullard. This arrangement is by L. R. Lewis. Voices in unison.
“DANCE OF THE FAIRIES.” for the piano, by E. S. Phelps. Teaching piece for second and third grade work. Tuneful and will interest the young student.
“A VISIT TO GRANDMA’S,” second grade teaching material, by Charles Wakefield Cadman. This book contains ten little numbers for children. Mr. Cadman has contributed so many excellent selections for the early grades that they have become a standard. Another of the descriptive pieces. This one is “What Donald and Constance saw and found at Grandma’s.”
G. Schirmer, Inc., New York
“EASY MELODIES,” for little folks, by Mathilde Bilbro. The very first steps for the tiny tots. Each little study tells a story as the two clefs are being taught, also the scale of F major, then how to count. This work is published with large notes and the fingering is clearly marked. A child could almost teach itself with this book. Miss Bilbro has many excellent volumes for teaching purposes to her credit, and she is becoming an authority on the subject. This is her newest publication.
“TEN LITTLE PIECES FQR TEN LITTLE FINGERS,” by George Tompkins. In this volume the bass clef is introduced. The first one teaches the use of the sixteenth note; then a waltz rhythm, chords, sustained notes, melody in the left hand, staccato and legato, Published with large notes, marked for easy fingering, and a little story that helps the descriptive melodies. This type of study is needed badly.
“O MASTER, LET ME WALK WITH THEE,” a hymn-anthem for mixed voices with soprano solo, by Oley Speaks and arranged in this form by Lucien G. Chaffin.
“DAY IS DYING IN THE WEST.” another hymn-anthem for mixed voices by'the same composer, Oley Speaks. Mr. Chaffin also arranged this number in chorus form, with solos for soprano and tenor.
“SAVIOUR, BREATHE AN EVENING BLESSING,” the third one of these new orrangements for mixed choruses by Lucien G. Chaffin, of songs by Oley Speaks. Tenor and soprano solo. These are also published as sacred songs, both for the high and low voices. From the 1922 catalogue of this publisher. Unusually good material, well harmonized without being difficult.
Clayton F. Summy Company, Chicago
“I DREAMED,” music by George S. Schuler to words by J. M. Warnack. Good teaching piece and makes an attractive number for student’s recital. Published for the low voice.
“SECRETS,” music by Fannie Snow Knowlton and words by Josephine Preston Peabody. Low voice. Makes an attractive reading to music as well as a song. Little encore number that is bright and catchy.
“I ASK NO DREAM,” for the voice, by Fannie Snow Knowlton with words by George Croly. A sacred song of merit. Suitable for all services. Written for the medium voice.
The Willis Company, Cincinnati
“OLD GARDENS,” music by Augustus O. Palm, with words by Arthur Upson. For the medium voice. Simple accompaniment and very easy to sing. Popular ballad type.
Harold Flammer, Inc., New York
“UNDER THE STARS,” by Oley Speaks. High in F, low in D fiat. This versatile musician has never written a more attractive
