WILL BE A RARE TREAT.
The Coming "Evening Of German Folk
Song"


Song"
One Of the most delightful entertain
ments Of the season will be the even
ing of German Folk Song" to be given
at Harmonic hall next Friday evening
by Miss Villa Whitney White, assisted
by Miss Mary B. Dillingham;. The folk
songs to be given range in historic sue
cession from the fifteenth century to
the present time, and have been ar
ranged by the gifted DR.. Heinrich Rel
mann of Berlin. Miss Whites enter
tainments have given much delight to
large audiences of refined people of
many other cities, and she will no doubt
be warmly greeted here. Last year she
delighted fine audiences at a course of
lecture recitals given by her under the
auspices of the Memnon club of Hart
ford, of which Mrs. Charles Dudley
Warner is the head, and the most re-
fined lovers of music in Hartford turn
ed out in force to hear her. The course
of lecture recitals on the development
of German folk-song was received with
so much favor that an extra concert
was given at the conclusion of the
course. Another series of recitals is
being given there now. Their success
is perfect. The following is from one
OF the Hartford papers of recent date:
what with her attractive personality,
her novel, independent manner of telling
the story Of the development of the
song as a form of music, her quaint
TRANSACTIONS of the texts and flexible,
full rich voice, which is handled with
the easy mastery of the artist, Miss
White makes her recitals unique and
thoroughly fascinating"
Miss White was in Chicago a while
ago. The impression she made there
may be judged from the following from
the Chicago Times Herald:
1.-THE Amateur Music society introduce
ed in Chicago last week a new and
unique personality, Miss Villa Whitney
White. Miss White acquired her tone
production with j. w. Davis of Bos-
ton. AT Berlin Miss White studied
with Frau Amelia Joachim, and at
London with Henschel. Miss White
has recently returned to her native
country, where for the present she
will remain. Her role is authentic
and novel. She treats music, as it
were, plastically. Selling upon the
musical norm of a period or of di-
vision of the art, she presents it's pro-
gressive development through its vari-
Gus phases, until it is finally rounded
out in some one of the molds which
have become permanent in art. She
presents, for instance, the folk song,
beginning with it's rudimentary types
in various countries, carrying it
through period after period of modifica-
tion presenting it's elimination in aria.
Her Interpretation, therefore, of music
is both analytic and synthetic. 1t never
separates the science from the art, but
in a mastery manner preserves their
blending, while differentiating their dis
tinctions Miss White is perfectly at
home in every department of music, and
because of her intimacy with all it's
traits and laws is able to expound it in
a. diction wholly free from jargon, while
singularly pure and apt. Her voice is
of lovely timbre, of unusual range, bril-
liant always, and tender, dramatic or
gay on occasion. A musician by tenn
perment, by endowment and by educa-
ton, she is a. genuine acquisition to
the profession, and has a message for
the time and for art as valuable as any
which it has received or can receive in
this epoch"
