stating the CInJiaylncut of government

over and above it, drowning not its
weakness, but its strength, should peal
the thunder of the other voices and in
struments. The same is true of the
theme that carries the words king of
kings and lord OF lords which should
roll in long ocean undulation under the
leaping crests of the exultant Hallelu
jahs. The chorus was composed to
show. not contrasted voices, but con-
trasted masses of voices. 1t is one of
those artistic achievements almost in
separable from its medium of express
sion. A battalion drill would be tame
with but eight men to a company,
though there is hardly an evolution but
could be carried out. The mass is part
of the composition. This is not true of
some other great choruses. Wagner's
Tannhaeuser march means much even
with a quartet Beethoven's sympho-
mics tell their story even on the piano.
But these great choruses refuse to lend
themselves to humble expression. They
demand. before they will render up their
meaning. orchestra, organ and the COM
bined strength of hundreds of voices
They are choIuses not by accident, but
by organism.
Lincoln seems to be afflicted with
tremolo. Now a tremolo in its place
does no harm. Neither does a loud
pedal on a piano. But these things are
good only within certain limits, and. It
seems that these limits need defining
A tremolo is a deviation from the plain
way of singing. AS a deviation ii has
two possible causes One is the fact
that ii conceals nervous unevenness of
tone; the other that it gives an impress
sion of emotion. The first reason is, of
course, no reason. No singer whose
voice is not under control should af-
fiict public. except at student recit-
als-when the public comes forewarned.
And certainly those singers whose
voices are under control should be anx-
ious to show their skill. Otherwise they
may come to be unjustly suspected of
having defects to conceal
As to the tremolo expressing emotion.
al effect, it undoubtedly does, particu-
larry il 1t be of the right sort. 1t should
be more of the vibrato sort, not that
detached "ah-ah-ah-at,'' to which
one can keep time with ones program.
But the very best tremolo is, or should
be. only a temporary deviation from
the straight way. Like any other de-
fectiveness. 1t is stop in the voice,
to be drawn only for certain purposes,
to be pushed back promptly when the
need has passed.
1t might be safe to say that no singer
should ever use the tremolo unless full
ly able to sing without it. Then he
may use it or not, for effect, in pas
sages where 1t is appropriate. And, ev-
en- in these passages he should aim
rather at the brilliant vibrato than at
the fiuttering tremolo which shakes
like a side-wheel steamer in a ground
swell. What the concertgoer loves to
hear is the strong clear confident voice,
voice able to soar without device or
subterfuge.
