The Choral Society.

The Choral Society commenced its re-
hearsals on the numbers for the operate
composers concert last Monday night.
About half an hour was protitably taken
by President VIM. Bruce King in a very
instructive and entertaining talk on the
purpose of the society in giving this con-
cert what idea it was intended to repre-
sent, and in contrasting the German and
Italian school of operate composition. The
latter pre-eminently makes musical beauty
its aim. the particular words sung being
of minor Importance, while the former
school seeks TO use music as a means for
expressing the sentiment of the words. 1t
is the fact, however, that in each school
the early writers tend to subordinate the
words to the music, while the modern COM
posers use the music and the words in
conjunction to give fitting expression to
the sentiment. 1t results that the suffered
contrast between the two schools largely
disappears in the best works of modern
writers. Compare for instance the Aida
of Verdi with the works of Wagner. Chro-
nologically the concert covers a period of
about 200 years. Six choral numbers will
he given to illustrate each school, The
Italian selections form part one, conclud-
ing with the finale from one of the acts
of Aida" and among the Italian seiec-
tons will be the seXtette and chorus from
Lucia requiring six soloiSts. with two
sopranos. The six German selections will
be given as part two. concluding with the
finale from Die Meistersinger" with The
two celebrated solos for tenor and BARI
tone. The program, it will be seen, is a
very ambitious and interesting one. Atten-
ton should be called to the lecture recital
to given by the society on February T. by
Walter Damrosch, on the Ring of the Me
belungen." This is of especial interest, as
part of the systematic scheme of the So
ciety for devoting the balance of the season
to the study and production of operate
music.
Last year the German composers concert

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
A few more words in reference to or
chestra concerts Of the higher class-not in
order to promote the interests of the Bal
timore or Boston Symphony orchestras but
as to the influences such music would have,
if frequently heard, on our minds and
hearts.
As an ethical factor in the education of
young people, good music, according TO
present and ancient authorities. has its
place next to religion If this fact were
understood by the wealthy and leading So
ciety people of Washington, who are inter
ested in the standard of culture and good
taste here, they would probably come for
ward with the same liberal support for the
promotion of the highest class of music,
both general and orchestral, as they are
wont to do for other phiIanthropic pur-
poses.

The Socialists and the Wage Workers

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In reference to the distribution Of litera-
ture among the wage workers OF the west
which Mr.. Hanna is reputed to have at
trihutcd to the democrats, | wish 10 say
that it is not all being done by them.
Last spring when / was in Los Angeles,
Cal, Mr.. Job Hartman. the eX-candidate
for governor upon the socialist ticket, had
a wagon built and started on canvass of
the state, taking with him plenty of litera-
ture advocating the cause of socialism,
which he has been spreading over the state
Besides visiting all the large cities where
he lectured and scattered his literature he
visited the smaller villages as well. As an
illustration of his plan of campaign he had
a monograph and a Stereopticon in his
wagon and would drive up Ia a school
house about the noon hour and give free
exhibition upon his monograph and then
tell the children that the exhibition would
be repeated that evening with the addition
OF the stereopucon. and that they would be
welcome to that, but that they must be
accompanied by their parents. The result
would be that he would have a crowded
house. to whom he would deliver illus
trated lecture upon socialism. after which
it easy TO organize a section and dis
tribute socialistic literature.
Another instance of the distribution of
socialistic literature: 4 few months ago an
editor of socialist paper in one OF the
western states called for contributions to
send his paper Tor one year at actual cost
to every editor in the United States and
Canada. He estimated that il would re-
quire $1,000. and in a short time that much
was subscribed. and nearly 500 OF which
was utilized In sending the paper to the
councilmen of the larger cities. Special
rates We're made for the first issue that
went to the editors, and over five tons of
that paper were sent out in one week and
nearly another ton subsequently. That
same Office has TO run its presses day and
night part OF the time to meet the de
mand for soclalistic literature. and / would
suggest that Mr.. Hanna keep his weather
eye open in that direction.
