/4UsIC AT KAUMAKAP1L1.
a Big Audience Turns Out-An
Excellent Programme.

Excellent Programme.
The concert given at Kaumaka-
pill Church Sept. 22d drew out an
audience worthy of the occasion.
The company was select in point OF
quality, the Elect of Honolulu be-
ing there, and there were enough Of
them to fill the house. This is the
first opportunity of the kind offered
In this city since the organ recitals
given by MIR. Bissell, and the
public has shown a cordial apprecia-
ton of that fact, making of this first
concert such a success as the fine
execution of fine music always de
serves. The following is the pro-
gramme:

Every number was well rendered,
I'd where all are deserving of praise
it is difficult to MAKE :: selection.
Miss Louise Dale, the new music
teacher at Oahu College, is debu-
tante IN Honolulu-though certainly
no mere beginner. Miss Dale is an &C
complished musician. and the fortu
nate possessor of d naturally lovely
soprano voice-which wants nothing
that training can give. Her voice
was under perfect control that night,
and her first number, Tell me
beautiful maiden" by GOunod, was
received with a storm of applause.
The fair singer graciOusl y responded
with an encore, Ills all that can
say" by Pope Temple, which was
also warmly received. After the song
Winds In the Trees the audience
were determined not to be satisfied,
and Miss Dale found the way
through the ear to the heart with
a faVorite old soDg-"Annie Laurie"
Miss Dale's bearing on the stage is
gracious and graceful, and Mrs.
Browning's praise to singer IS
fairly due -''Her looks sing,
too" Honolulu may congratulate
itself upon a valuable acquisition in
the person of Miss DAe.
Miss Wing, also of Punahou, con-
Jributed greatly to the success of the
songs by an admirably sympathetic
piano accompaniment.
The Hon. Paul Isenberg has not
been heard in public for some time
and he was warmly received. He
sang superbly a superb aria by
Beethoven, accompanied on the
organ by Mr. Wray Taylor,
and responded to a recall with
that affecting lyric of Goethe's,
one Of the most beautiful IN the
German, or any language, "Kennst
du das Land" the music, which is
worthy of the words, being COM
posed by Schumann.
MIR. Wray Taylor is SO we'll known
to the Honolulu public that com
ment seems hardly necessary. 1t is
sufficient to say that his playing that
night was up to the fine standard
which he has long since established
here. Perhaps the number which
pleased the audience most was
fantasia from several operas which
was very finely rendered. The
selection opened with passage
from the overture of Poet and
Peasant" by Suppe, after which
passages from Slradella and
Martha by Flotow we're woven
into the stream of melody.
Most effective, however, were the
romantic and sombre music of II
Trovatore, and the seductive melody
of the wedding march from Lohen-
grin. The strains of the choral song
from the latter were played as
though heard from the extreme dis
tance, while the crashing finale was
given with the full power of the
organ.
Hawaii Ponoi," with all the
stops open, WAS the signal for the
audience to dispense. The streets
were muddy, and rain was falling
but it could not dampen al enthusl-
ssm born Of good musician enthu-
siasm which pronounces this first
concert most suspicious opening
of the series, and looks forward with
agreeable anticipation to its sue
cessor. Y. Y. Y.
