HoRA NovIssrMA.

"Hora Novissima' is the most widely
 known work yet written by Professor Parker, who Is regarded as one of the ablest of American composers. Within
 the past three years 1t has been sung twice at the annual Worcester festival,
 and has also had the honor of being
 the first work by an American com
 poser to be performed at any of the
 great English festivals, having been
 given at worcester, England, under the
 composers direction, in 1899. Its recep-
 tion has been flattering one. Critics
 have pronounced 1t one of the best and
 most original compositions yet written
 by an American, and one of the few that are certain to live. It is also nota-
 ble as being the first attempt to over- come the rhythmic and net7ical difficult ties of setting to music the Latin of the old mediaeval hymn. The style of the work is severely classic, while the treatment is essentially modern. the or chestration being most prominent and important feature, as is usual in the works of present-day composers While the setting is thoroughly dignified one, appropriate to the text ands original in character, it Is work that Is or deeper interest and significance to the musi- clan than to the casual bearer
 The music is largely choral, though a solo is assigned to each of the artists of the quartette. The choruses are sol i'd and we'll written, and the climaxes are effectively worked out. The mo- notony of the text as to tempo and rhythm are satisfactorily overcome by the composer through changing the style and method of work in nearly every division of the hymn. One of the most striking instances of this Is in the splendid double chorus, "Stant Syon atria," which is distinguished by breadth, simplicity and gradation of interest up to the very close

NEW MISSION HOUSE.

A Good Friend of the City Mission
 Gives $1,0oo for It.
 At the Easter service Sunday evening at English hall, Rev MT. Mossman an- nounced generous Easter gift of $1 000 from a friend of the New Haven City Mission work, toward the erection of the new mission house. With what was formerly in hand and has recently been subscribed, this brings the amount actually paid or pledged to $22,5oo, with enough assurances of additional help from some who have not yet named a definite sume, to consider that about S25, GOO is now available for immediate use.
