MATTERS MUSICAL.

The Gerier Zeitung. Germany. on
April Il contained the following in
reference to a well known young Scran-
ton vocalist: An unexpected and de-
| cidedly elevating musical treat was
| given the very numerous Easter con-
| gregation of the St Trinitatis church
by an American, Miss Lydia Pichel. at
| present a scholar Of the Leipsic con-
servatory Of music in LeIpsic. and who

visit. by her excellent rendition Of the
] aria, Christ Is Risen" from the
Messiah" This young artist who al

with her singing last Christmas. pre-
sides over magnificent voice. whose
artistic training appears in every way
harmoniously complete. Tone forma-
| ton, pronunciation Of the text. as well
as her whole manner Of delivery in this
aria left absolutely nothing 70 he de-
| sired. Her singing added materially to
the impressiveness OF the services"
The Musical Courier Of New York
says OF Ben Davies. the famous Welsh
tenor, at the Rlauvelt- Powers concert.
Ben Davies was made the male lion
OF the evening, though why II would
not be So easy IL say, He gave the
SalNe nimord from Faust and fell short
of the ordinary high tenors landmark
in the top c. where he took refuge in
falsetto. He sang ballads marvelously
well and the Handel music with great
dignity and feeling: hut even in the bal
lads he resorted to several artiilcialities.
etc. Still he is q wonderfully good Eng

are criticised Tor failures, the people of

church singers with a yearl, salary
equal to only one nights salary OF these
