On Saturday evening quite number
OF those interested in musical matters
attended q rehearsal of the opera Pa
thence, which is soon to be given at thu
Los Angeles thester, and were surprised
at the proficiency attained in SO short {
time. The bright little opera will b'
sure to receive splendid rendition IL
the near future. Mr.. Pyke is deserving
of the highest praise for the way il
which he has brought the singers to thu
perfection they now present. Their
will be full rehesrsals on Monday
Wednesday aud Friday evenings OF thi
week at 575 West Fifth street, Mr.
Pyke's present headquarters.
After numerous and urgent request
Mir. @. NJ. Pyke has consented to estab
lish limited school for the study ant
advancement of vocal music, Englisl
ballad singing and enunciation. MI
Pyke's long, varied and successful ex
perience as an operatic artist, musics
director and teacher is sufficient guar
antee as to his qualifications in thi
direction.
One OF the principal features of tn
school will be the study OF enunciatioh
neglecting which vocalist ca
never attain any great prominence i
, the vocal world. Mr.. Pyke cites for ex
ample few operatic and concert artis!
OF renown of the past and presen
whose almost faultless enunciation CAV
: a special charm to their never-to- bs
forgotten renditions: Parepa Rosa, AIDE
laide Phillips, Kellogg, Carey, Thuraby
Abbott, Jessie Bartlett Davis, Sin,
Reeves. Hayden Coffin, Castle, Kal
and others.
1t is we'll known fact that many
, the best local vocalists mar what migt
otherwise be most creditable rendltio
, by the serious fault of not being able
, properly enunciate. Nothing is mol
exaspersting to q listener than to hei
a song sung without words. One know
: the words are there. but what they al
one has not the least idea. 1t lie to
| hoped that now an opportunity offel
those who need instruction in this branC
will avail themselves OF il. ChurC
choirs, quartettes and chorus SINCE
may all learn valuable lesson by Loo
ing into this study thoroughly.
