In Mrs. Maud Conway Blanchard's lee
ture recital at the Meridian-street NJ. f..
Church yesterday, there was blending of
prose, verse and voice. Mrs. Blanchard has
a fine stage presence and her soprano voice
is fresh and clear. In the introduction Mrs.
Blanchard said that she would present
Shakespeare from the new standpoint, that
OF musician. That he was familiar with
musical instruments. music and singing is
shown In numerous places in his plays and
sonnets. He also was familiar with dances.
He knew the value of song in drama, and
introduced it in various plays. The lecture
part of the programme was brief and the
several parts were illustrated with songs by
both the early and the modern composers.
Shakespeare has furnished themes for more
operas than any other man, she said. me
first song, from The Tempest Bid Me
Discourse" has been set to music no less
than twelve times. The setting selected for
illustration was that of Bishop. The love
songs are many. ''Who is Sylvia" a sere-
made by Schubert, illustrated one. The third
song was a part of the Merchant OF
Venice where Bassanio makes choice Of
a casket; TELL Me Where Is Fancy Bred,
and the music, tuneful melody, was COM
posed by Mrs. Blanchard. 1t has pretty
incubation and a bell refrain Of Ding, dong
Hang by the Wall" by Arthur Foote, or
Boston from Winters Tale" Blow, Blow
Thou Winter Wind" by Dr. Arne, from AS
You Like It," ut Was a Lover and His
Lass a quaint old melody that was writ
ten in 1900 by DR.. Morley, who was a per-
sonaI friend of Shakespeare. Come Away,
Death" by Henshel, was from Twelfth
Night" The latter is sad and mournful. A
bright, dainty song was II Know Bank,
by Parker, from Midsummer Night s
Dream" and there was a pathetic song,
''WilIow, Willow" Desdemona's song in
"Othello." The beautiful 'Hark, Hank, the
Lark" by Schubert was the most familiar
number on the programme, and 1t was ex-
quistely sung. 1t comes from "Cymbeline"
and is the morning serenade. The last two
selections were by Sullivan and were
"Orpheus and His Lutte" and Where the
Bee Sucks" from 1.-THE Tempest" Mrs.
Blanchards reading and singing were
marked by clearness of enunciation and her
recitation of various portions of the plays
was in keeping with the general character
of the entertainment. The evening was
under the auspices of the Morrow Circle OF
Meridian-street Church. There was a large
audience.
