Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1899-12-03
MUSICAL.

at /. o. o. F. hall, yesterday afternoon,
and the measure of success achieved
| was most satisfactory. The audience
present was large one, many of the
| members being accompanied by friends,
and all evidenced the greatest pleasure
at the rendition of the several numbers.
The chorus work this season is par
| ticularly good-better, indeed, than in
| the past, as the voices are well bal
anced, the sopranos in particular being
well supported by seconds, condition
not always attainable even with large
| list of vocalists to draw from. The
membership throughout is enthusiastic,
| and some hard and conscientious work
Is being done by way of preparation
| for coming events, particularly by ac-
tive members who have not yet APP
| peared the present season.
OF the piano numbers yesterday Mrs
Hupp was very happy in her reading OF
the Beethoven concerto, op. 81, and her
temperance after long silence within
the club apartment was a source of
| extreme qualification to the member
ship. The piano accompaniment by
Miss McHenry was very effective. Miss
Amanda Spells solo from the Flying
Dutchman,' Mach Klange,' was given
with intelligence and breadth, showing
full appreciation and careful study. OF
| the vocal numbers, Miss Harvey
Good Bye, Sweet Day maintained her
reputation fully, and Miss Elsie Gund-
ling, one of the younger but promising
members of the club, voiced Saliva
Regina" to her great credit. Mrs. Will
| liams conducted the chorus numbers, as
| M0u he
eral accompanist.
Interest in musical circles now CEN
tres in the appearance of Mrs. Alice
| Lincoln Dean, solo contralto, at the
| Carroll Club Auditorium, tomorrow
| evening, under the auspices of the
| Woman's Musical Club, and assisted by
| the chorus of that organization in a
single but great number, the Song of
| the Norns," Norwegian dramatic
composition of great merit and no in
considerable difficulty, by Heinrich
| Hoffman. The final rehearsal of this
chorus will take place Monday morn
ing, but it already goes perfectly, and
| will be a substantial addition to an eX
clusively vocal programme which, 9TH
erwise in the keeping of Mrs Dean,

vicinity. The programme to be render

Miss Kate Mcl1enry, accompanist
A reading of the above will show a
wide range of composers and
! many widely differing ideas and mo-
tifs covered, but variety has not been
sought merely for the sake of change or
contrast Still, the vast capabilities
of the vocalist cannot but be demon
strated in the most pleasing manner,
and to those hearing her the convic-
| ton will come very soon that she
stands in the front rank of contraltos.
! That designation, by the way, hardly
describes Mrs. Deans voice. which par
| takes of a soprano nature to a very
| considerable extent while losing moth
! ing of it's characteristic contralto char
acter, and this blending in the hap
| piest manner of two essentially differ
| ent voice-tones enables her to attain an
effective range and smoothness and
/ volume from the lower register
| throughout the middle to the higher
| quite unusual. 1t is expected and
hoped that she will be greeted by an
audience which will put to a severe
test the capacity of the auditorium.
| Monday evening the vocal class and
| pupils of Prof. ]. Sebastian Rafferty,
will give a complimentary musical at
the Cathedral High School hall, being
assisted by the Cecilia orchestra. A
cordial invitation is extended to all
| friends of the pupils to be present.
| On the evening of the 18th inst. the
! pupils VI OlSilOl dilQ ht4t TblCdl uO
Ricci will give a vocal recital at the
| studio on Market street, for which the
programme is not yet available. A
large selection of interesting numbers
will be effectively rendered.
