To return to N. Delibes' music, it
may he summarized as series OF
elegant and graceful thoughts OF no
great intensity, and not remarkable
for individuality, Auber. Gounod and
Bizet being frequently laid under
contribution. Nevertheless, NJ. De-
libes is an adept In modern French
methods OF orcheStration, and en-
ploys his knowledge In this respect
with oonsnmmare judgment, indeed
to this circumstance much OF his
music owes its chief charm.
