SCANDINAVIAN RECITAL.
The Scandinavian recital given Friday
evening by the Musical club was enjoyed
by a large and appreciative audience, The
program was varied and interesting and
the numbers brought out the peculiar
beauty Of scandinavian music. The gen
eral characteristics of this music are ca
priciousness, frequent changes Of rythm,
an uncertain vaciHating tonality and
preference for the minor mode. Greig,
the prince of Scandinavian composers,
was well represented in a number of his
ceHbrated compositions. He has been
called the Norwegian Chopin" and re-
sembles him in finish of style and in
beautiful melodies and rich harmonies.
The opening number was the Peer Gynte
mann and Mrs Hays. "Anibras Dance
was especially enjoyed and is the favorite
movement of the Suite.
Miss Frohmann also played ''Oissilon"
a very dainty composition by Greig, in a
delightful manner and received a hearty
encore. THE Norwegian Bridal Process
SON. brought out another phase Of
Greigh's genious and was well inter-
preted by MSS Higgins and Miss Clark.
The vacal numbers were given by Miss
Elvie Walker and the group of Grieg
songs. The Rosebud" The Princess
and Good Morning" showed great va
riety and were finely rendered. Miss |
Walker received many compliments and |
sings with greater ease and breadth Of |
style since her study during the winter, |
while her voice has lost none of its sweet !
ness and purity. She responded to an |
encore.
Mr. J. NJ Lee played a violin solo, |
'.Scherzino." by the great Danish COM
poser. Gade. and pleased the audience so |
well that he was recalled and the num- |
Der repeated.
Kjerulf. whose music has so many OF 4
the characteristics of his countryman. |
Gr;eg. was also represented in vocal and |
instrumental numbers. Hortense Imboden
PLAYED difficult Novelette," in good /
style bringing out the syncopated rythm
with good effect and playing with express
sion throughout the number
Miss Walked Illustrated the vocal works
Of Kjerulf in group Of three songs.
MY Pretty Bird" ''On the Ling. Ho."
and Love Voices" The vocal works OF |
this composer are perhaps be>ter known
than his instrumental pieces and the
on the program are among mis-
best. Love Voices was especially beau
tful and wei suited to Mss Walkers
voice.
Tho closing number on the program was
variations + far minor for two pianos by 1
Sinding. played by Mss Leeper. and Mrs. !
