four numbers about Gs widely differing in
methods and sentiment as possible. yet each in
teresting for its own sake and in combination.
Schumapp's overture to Manfred, with it's de-
scription Of soul struggles and the bitter agony
of remorse, was followed by Mozart's brightest
symphony. full of fresh Joy and innocent frank
ness. this in turn by a concerto for violoncello by
Edouard Lalo. one of Frances foremost compos-
crs. and so we were led to the last number OF tho
programme. MacDoweil's Indian Suite" All
that this eminent musician offers the public is
characterized by high intellectual ideas. ex-
pressed with the clearness and aptitude OF a
rarely well. poised judgment.
The Indian Suite" is not only clever in its
workmanship but most pleasant for the ear to
follow. delineating with unmistakable distinct
ness the various forms Of savage life which are

has introduced several American
aboriginal melodies into his suite, the effect be.
ing to give to the composition that union of
strength and novelty which seems ever to BIO
found in savage or folk-song airs. The suite is
filed with romance. and Is exciting to the imagi-
nation. Mcdowell has the gift OF stirring this
quality In his hearers. But there Is nothing
6igdr1'e or forced in his music, nor is it difficult
OF comprehension.
Lalo's concerto for cello was exceedingly we'll
played by Mr.. Gerardy. 1t is a charming piece
OF fantastic invention. with several piquant
bits of Instrumentation that arrest attention.
