eouNop AND HIS "REpEMPTioN. >,


OF the Redemption, by Gounod, critics have
exhausted themselves in praise. Known to
the world as the composer Of Faust, one OF
tho grandest and most effective operas now
holding the stage. Gounod stands very high
among the music writers of our time. A
Frepchnsn by birth and training, he is
characterized by the extremes Of feeling for
which that people are noted. Faust was his
first great work. The Redemption was his
second. Either of them are enough to sat-
isfy any ambition and make an enduring
fame. But it is to the credit OF Gouuod that
he was not satisfied with bis place in art
until he had tested public approval by the
redemption. 1t ia by this, perhaps, that he is to
be best known in time 70 come. Many operas
az rich as Faust have already been put away
only TO be recalled on occasions of musical
revivals, when The honeyed lore OF collectors
or libraries is culled FIR novelty. 1t is go
with nearly all the operas of Gluc5, for
whom Gounod has often signalizsd his pref

THE PROGRAMMES.

In presenting the programmes for the Fes-
tiyal We may be permitted 10 remark that it
is great leap from the bum.drum of cavs-
tinas and arias in school girl style, to the
Redemption and the Elijah, with the hand Of
Thomas 10 guide and his orchestra TO sustais.
But this ia not all that the Mozart Society 10
billed to do. In the second concert they are
to give that beautiful choru. OF Beethoven's
"sea Calm and Happy Voyage," the "Gipsy
Lie" of Schunsnn, the "Vsnetisu Boat
mans Evening Soag" of Sebastian Bach,
and the "Hsllslujah Chorus" of Handel
that chorus which to hear is to be lifted
into the realms of bliss, to have foretaste
OF the divine harmonies and to realize
to what depths the musical master
can go in search of the profoundsst emo
tions of the human heart. Bsaides these ma
jeitic and besuLiful works, Thomas has as.
signed 10 his orchestra compositions of sur
passing interest from wagner, Weber, Bee
thoveD, Saint Saens-whose opera of Horny
VII was recently produced with great eclat
in Paris-Liszt, Mendelssohn and Schumann
Neither New York nor Cincinnati nor Boston
have ever had programmes more severely
classic, or that more intimately challenged
the respectful attention of all who love
nusc and value il as one of the foundations
of modern civilization. Every number on
them c-rtifes to the supremacy of a master
mind ard 10 the artistic discrimination and
taste which unites 70 much that is varied to
form complete pictures, among the best the
greatest of all the arts can afford.

HANDEL AND THE "HALLELUJAH

HandePs name appears only once in these
Festival programmes, but it is in connection
with the glorious "Halleluiah Chorus" from
the Messiah, SO well known to all who are in
the least familiar with sacred music. In
majesty, exultirg joy and feryer nothing can
compare with it. 1t is the acme of exalta-
ton and religious feeling, and has never
failed to bring audiences as we'll as singers
to their feet, as for worship and alteration,

MANS SONG"
At the great Music Festival to-day and
tomorrow, other w-rks than the Redemption
of GoHned and the Elijah Of Mendei-.6hn
will be produced. Preceding and following
the former, we find very wealth of musical
gems on the programmes. John Sebastian
Bach, the master of counterpart, the great,
est organist of his time, and the composer 10
whom we are indebted for the foundations
upon which the modern school Of theory and
practice for the piano rests, will be repre-
scented by the beautiful chorus, "The Vene-
tian Bostman's Song" Bach was not only
the greatest of his name, but the most re-
nowned musician-theorist as well as sx-
ecutant-of his time. He said of himself
that he composed to livs;" and he
was so industrious and 20 careful, go
anxious to be right, that he may
ba said fairly to have illustrated the
saying of Carlyle, Shat genius is an infinite
capacity for taking pains" The Germans
love TO say Of him, that "his character had
not spot, his life was perfect" and Sarah
Tyteler says that cit is true that few more
God-fearing, singls-minded, earnest, modest
a.d manly men ever lived" When we add
to this another saying that "hs was the most
conscientious artist that ever devoted himself
TO music" we have exhausted eulogy Sc.
bastian Backs il the theere;ic standard with
all musicians and his fugues are still the
mystery that all executants must unravel to
know what form is and the infinite variety
of harmony and melody that lies hidden in
the seven notes Of the scale. Like Beethoven,
of whom We shall presently speak, be suffered
great affection before his death in the lo.s
of his sight, but like the great symphonist
he enjoyed measure of compensation for it
in the knowledge Of the Immortality that
awaited him.

two conpostions-the Hungarian Rhspso-

WAGNER AND THE "TANNHAUsER.

Wagner, who has but recently passed to
his rest, was, during his life, the greatest dis
cIple of Beethoven, whom he rightly regard
ed as the very hrrt Of all composers, the
loftiest musical genius that ever lived. The
overture to his opera Of Tannhouser has the
fret place on the fret programme. The

pznSion BY meditation, without perceptible
break Of outline; and as its lineaments thus
appear in new keys, they seem to possess
ever increasing brightness and intensity of
expression" Tbs poetic features are most
prominent in thu choruses: "Forth the Royal
Banners Go" "Tns R.prsaches," Beside the
Cross Remaining.p with the solo, Whilst
Ny Watch L am Keeping" and the final
chorus, "For Us the Christ is Made Vic
tim Availing." Those portions which are
trested more realistically are the Condem-
nation, the GoiRg to Calvary (the choral
portion Of the march excepted), the Cruel
fxi0p, Mary at the Foot of the Cross (the
chorus and solo terminating this scene ex-
cepted), the episode of the Two Thieves, the
Death of Jesus, and the Centurion. By
these different literary attitudes, correspond
iug differences in the music are produced.
The music 10 til, realistic part consists of
very plain style of recitation, of purely
dramatic chorus, and of independent orches-
trsl music at once rich, suggestive and
graphic. The Redemption, it will thus
be seen, is great chsral work,
worthy 10 stand with Elijah, and it is with
something more ;hsu ordinary pride we an
nonncs that it via be produced here to.row-

puto and high position. A rich and rare
treat, the production of two such works as
Elijah and the Redemption, under the very
exceptional circumstances Of Mr.. Thomas's
leadership, is an event in the history OF
that proves the usefulness of and
the necessity for a solidiy established and
conducted musical organization
like the Mozart Society, through which the
musical sentiment of the community can fad

which all that is eIalting and beautiful in

Beethoven, whose later years were made
