Rubenstsin's three Pictures from the
Tower of Babel. was given in Portland
not long ago by the Haydns at kotzsch-
mar hall, when it pleased greatly, and its
reception by the audience last night was
equally gratifying. The three choruses
represent the confusion of tongues at
the building of the Babel tower, and the
dispersion of the tribes from which the
three great races sprang. That of Shem
was Semitic, and the wild religious air
that characterizes it is full Of the flavor
of antiquity. That of Ham was the one
from whioh the negro race came, ana
h. air sung by this chorus is Distinctly
infused with what we are won't to call
negro melody. That of Japhet gave ORR

The public rehearsal yesterday morning
aroused a great deal of enthusiasm, and
the floor of the Auditor rum was almost
entirely filled with earnest and appreci-
ative listeners.
Tt was very interesting to watch the re-
suit of the practice and to observe the
DEVELOPMENTS of certain effects With both
the orchestra and chorus numbers.
Mime. Maconda, Miss Green, Miss Rick

DIR. Tibbetts rehearsed some numbers with
the orchestra and the chorus but the
browning interest of the morning conferred
around Nine. Gadski in her singing OF the
great aria from "Oheron."
Io was of the greatest satisfaction to the
chorus that Mme Gadski turned to them
in the first singing of the aria, and she
aroused the greatest enthusiasm with her
artistic rendering of thesmusic, as well
as by her gracious and womanly bearing.

torium and the second Maine Festival.
Yesterday afternoons concert was par
tioularly we'll attended for matinee,
and the work done by the orchestra and
chorus seemed to thoroughly delight the
sympathetic admirers.
The overture to "Massaniello, by
Auber, was given with great taste and
was very effective in the strongly ac,en-
turated passages, which are so familiar
to every concert goer.

centre to the men in their black evening
dress, producing q capital contrast.
If was a few moments after O'Clock
when Mr.. Chapman took his place amid
loud applause, raped on his desk, and
the orchestra commenced the grand march
from Goldmarks HQneen of Sheba. -
Goldmark's work is noted for it's pictur-
esoueness. for it is brilliant with Oriental
color and the Instrumentation is most
summons. Its rhythms and cadences
are pertinent to Jewish traditions. 1t
has been heard here several times under
most favorable auspices. The orchestra
/ last night gave its beauties excellent
treatment.
Then came Handles "And the Glory

THEY'VE might say. the most-popular OF
all the oratorios known to the Engllsn fes-
rivals. None other has ever attained
equal popularity, and it Is because the OF
broad, grand foundation OF its chorus
work, which underlies the whole COM
position, and in which all the resources
of counterpoint are employed with mar
ve,lous skill, and leaving and yet with
out detriment to the distinct popular
character Of the chorus, is always forclble
and expressive. Handel hit the happy
medium between the solemnity OF the
sacred text and the requirements OF dra-
matio effect. Perhaps this chorus of !" And
the Glory of the Lord illustrates these
facts about as thoroughly as any in the
oratorio, and the chorus gave 1T with
great precision, grand volume OF sound
and closing crescendo that was inspir-
ing.
When Miss Rosa Green appeared to sing
her Liszt number 'The Lorelei, !" she re-
ceived warm reception. If Miss Green
pleased on Monday night she surely de-
lighted last evening. She gave "The

except that the great female chorus
made Sulliyan's popular composition
more effective than soloists could have
done, assisted by orchestrs and organ.
Perhaps in this number better than in
any other an opportunity was afforded
to judge of the excellent quality and
careful drill of the chorus. The latter
part Of the composition was repeated on
demand.
The first part closed with the grand
finale to the third act of Martha, sung by
Nine. Maconda, Miss Green, Mr.. Water

OF the quintette, it was the work OF Inc
