| DAMROSCH LECTURE RECITAL.-The
| activity of the Choral Society is not alone
sconfined to the giving of concerts. but
/ equally shows itself in the announcement
of a healthy interest in the progress of

| Mr.. Walter Damrosch, who was for sew
| eral years the conductor Of the society. will
| lecture next Tuesday night under their
| auspices at the Congregational Church on
| Richard Wagner and the Ring of the Nibe-
| lungen." The story which Wagner used In
| writing his four great music dramas which
| are included in the Tetralogy is the old
| Morse myth involving the ambition and
ruin of Wotan and Valhalla through the
| snares of deceit. The dramatic possibilities
| of the story were seen by the genius OF
| Wagner, and he composed his series or
| four operas which set forth the beginnings
| of the tragedy through the deceit of Wotan.
| disclosed the possibilities of redemption
| through the hands of Siegfried, the man
| without fear, and a final overwhelming OF
| the gods in the twilight. The tragedy
moves inexorably from beginning to end.
Wagner wrote this poem and then COM
| posed music which he designed should
| typify the emotions and actions of gods
| and men, The music, too, is designed to
| raise the feelings of the auditors to high
| er pitch of intensity and 10 carry them IN
an unbroken tide of emotion to the ulti-
| mate catastrophe.

| sale of seats at Ellis & Co.'S indicates that
| a wel-filled house will greet Mr.. Damrosch
