| has continued to compose new works
and just now there is much attention
drawn to his latest production. The
Blind Girl of Castel Guile" This is an
other poem of Longfellow, whose weird
pathos and tragic plots appeal keenly
| to Mr.. Taylor's musical inspiration
The Blind Girl of Castel Guile" has
! been the belle of the little French VIII
lage, but having the misfortune to be-
come blind, Baptiste, her lover, deserts
her and engages himself to Angela. The
wedding approaches, and poor, neg
lected Margaret hears in her seclusion
of the planned festivities. In the midst
or the ceremony. she gropes to the feet
of her lover, slays herself, and falls
dead at his feet. Says Mr. Coleridge-
Taylor Of it: My reason for choosing
it is because it is so full of human in
terest, and offers scope for effective
treatment. This cantata was written
under commission from the Leeds
Musical Festival Association. and was
rendered with great satisfaction few
weeks ago in the annual autumn musi-
cal festival held at Leeds The rendi-
ton involved 361 voices, and an orches-
ira of 12S pieces. The star soloist was
Madame Albani, the leading soprano of
England at this time.
Mr.. Coleridge-Taylor's record of sue
cess, which is simply phenomenal, is
further shown by the fact that he is
now under commission TO write a can
tata for the Sheffield Musical Festival,
and this, it is announced, will be called
Meg Blame
The compositions of this youthful au
thor are a clarinette quintette, COM
posed in 1895; a symphony in A minor,
1896; ballad in A minor, 1897; several
church anthems, and miscellaneous
compositions, and several albums of
songs, which include a set entitled
African Romances," the words of
which are by Paul Laurence Dunbar.
While he has never produced any of
the rag time or coon music, with
which the public. particularly in this
country, has been furnished such an
Oversupply, there is, nevertheless, to be
observed in his composition those rich |
minor chords so characteristic of negro |
music as we know it in the jubilee |
songs and plantation melodies of the |
South. Between the music in "Hia- |
watha's Wedding Feast and that in a |
cakewalk patrol there is the world |
wide difference between art and mere |
sensualism, but in both of these. there |
is a like subtle power that seems to |
take hold upon the senses. the one with
an aftermath of sweetness, the other |
with that Of disgust.
'Hiawatha's Wedding Feast has IL
ready been rendered in Boiton, New |
York. Chicago, and some other cities by
choral societies. 1t is announced that
steps are now being taken to organize
a chorus of 200 or more voices to render
this fascinating cantata here in Wash
ington during the coming spring.
