MUSICAL COMMENT.
THE USE OF HEBREW MELODIES BY
COMPOSERS IN MUSICAL
IDEAS - DR. CHRYSANDER
AND HIS WORK
AND HIS WORK

The Tribune has received the following comnu-
ncation that raises number Of significant points
/ am sorely perpexed with question in musico-
is a question. 1t has often
been ventilated before, and once upon time you
took quite prominent part in its discussion Here
il is:
In how far are modern composers justified in
EMPLOYING extant melodies in their works without
some acknowledgment on their part that the melo-
dies thus employed not their original lnTen-
tons? OF course, my question does not concern
instances like employ oyuent Of Luther's glorious
choral in ''The Huguenots'' or the Dresdener Amen
in "Parsifal.' These melodies are so well known
that an acknowledgment Of their sources would be
a piece OF pedantry- But l refer TO instances
where the melodies appropriated are known 50 lit
lie that they can be recognized only by limited
number OF specialists.
Nv query is prompted by the perusal OF work
which chance has recently brought under my Cd.
seryation. and in which fragrant examples OF
this kind are presented. In his oratortO Moses.
bv s de Ilange. the com poser has drawn upon the
traditional melodies and chants OF the ancient
Jewish liturgy quite extensively, so extensively. IN
deed that their elimination from the score would
leave hat little more than the cover Witness the
following illustrations which can be multiplied ad

KING EDWARD REFERS TO THE MISSION
OF THE HEIR TO THE THRONE
London, Nov. AT the dinner board the
royal yacht Victoria and Albert last Friday
evening King Edward. toasting the Duke and
Duchess of Cornwall and York, gave q sketch
ef their tour. Referring to their arrival at Cape
Town. his ma jesty said:
There, unfortunately. the is still pro-
ionged: but We firmly pray for the re-establish-
meRt Of peace and prosperity
In conclusion the King said:
In all the colonies thus visited they fulfilled
their mission expressing the gratitude Of the
mother country for the aid generously accorded
her in the hour of need, and they were every
where received with cordiality of loyal enthu-
siasn1 which could not have been surpassed.
The accounts Of these receptions have touched
me deeply, and trust the practical results viii
be TO draw closer the strong ties of mutual
affection which bind together the old mother
land and her numerous thriving offspring.
The Duke OF Cornwall in a feltcitous response
testified TO the intense and enthusiastic loyalty
shown by the people everywhere to the King
and the throne and also to the deep love of
the mother country. which was everywhere
spoken OF as home ."

SELECTIONS FROM THE MAIL.
THE CHURCH's CLAIMS DENIED.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In an editorial of Sunday you state as an
unauestioned fact IN commenting upon a recent
PRESBYTERIAN sermon, that great charity has ever
been founded by an in1del At least one exception
to this comes to mind, and that Is Grard College
for Orphans, whose founder was SO extreme in his
Views that his will forbade any clergyman to enter
it's gates The inference gathered from what you
saw Of the sermon is that It claims that no real
good cause In the world has been forwarded by
inadels which designation always IN theological
OF the great humanitarian movements have
originated in the Church, and until recently II mas
been wholly Indifferent TO them
Judge William Jay. OF New York himself a
churchman said in 1880: The Church Of the living
God is the greatest bulwark OF caste and human
slavery In the United States" and the hall OF an

mace open to the early aboltionsts for their meet
