BY WILLIAM RYAN.
 Birmingham's Fourth Annual Music Festival, consisting of two grand con certs. will be held at the Auditorium. un- der the auspices of the Choral Society, tomorrow night and Tuesday night. All the former festivals were brilliant and successful from every point of View, but the programmes presented now, while maintaining high standard of musical art, are of a much more popular charac- ter than any heretofo arranged, this being true 1t Is believed that the audi ences this year will be larger than ever before. The price of a seat is only one dollar.
 To make a festival a great chorus and large orchestra are Indispensable and competent soloists there must be. We'll Birmingham has the chorus, and the Chicago Orchestra of which Theodore Thomas is conductor, will supply the in- strumental music. while the vocal ar tsts engaged for this year are exception ally attractive. Miss Electa Clifford, the soprano, is young and surpassingly beau tiful and not many singers on the stage have achieved such trfunphs she.
 Mrs. B. Guckenberger, who makes her farewell appearance on this occasion, has been recognized ever since she came here to live in 1885, not only as Birmingham S greatest vocal artist, but as one of the best singers in the United States, has a lovely voice of rich. velvety quality and her fine temperament makes 1t easy for her to interpret the severest classic music.
 MT. George Hamlin sang at the last festival and he was engaged again be- cause he has been the most successful tenor in flora Novissima," the largest chorus number
 MT. Oscar Ehrgott, the baritone, has never taken part in festival, but he has been heard frequently in Birmingham and always with delight. He has a phenomen- al voice and a perfect method.
 One of the features of the first concert will be piano solo by Miss Edna Gockel of this city who has just returned from Berlin. This fair young woman was very artist-like before she went abroad to study. She is a virtuoso now and all Bir- mingham is proud of her.
 The Birmingham chorus is famous. Theodore Thomas heard it for the first time last spring and he was extremely complimentary in his remarks about it. At the first festival the principal chorus work was Haydns master oratorio, The Creation" At the second festival Part I of Mendelssohn's "Elijah" was sung. and at last years festival Part II of Elijah" filled the oratorio section of the pro- gramme. At the fourth festival there will be no oratorio. but the chorus works which are to be performed will appeal alike to the musically educated and to the music lovers who listen chiefly for such melodies as are easily caught. Fair Ellen" built on the tune of ''The Camp bells are Coming" has been heard here twice. It is short and stirring and will always make a hit. Skeleton in Armour" is a wonderfully silowy work and ''Hora Novissirna" starts off with a sweet mel ody that every boy can whistle and ev- cry girl can hum.

 These sketches of the music to be per- formed are condensed from the advance proof sheets of the official programme book:
 Richard Wagner. Born May 22 1913, at Leipsic. Died Feb ruary 13, 1883, at Venice.
 ''Rienzi, the Last of the Tribunes,'' al- though chonologically the third of Wag- ner's operas, was the first to meet with any noticeable favor and the first to be published "Die Feen'' he had composed in 1883 and 'Das Liebesverbot" founded upon Shakespeare's comedy, Measure for Measure'D in 1926, but as neither of these had met with any success, it re- mained for this imposing work to place him in his proper light before the musi- cal world. "Rienzi" although a very sturdy and beautiful opera, can scarce ly be regarded as characteristic of the mighty genius who afterward put forth those wonderful creations which startled the world with a shock from which it has not yet ceased to vibrate. The overture is in the conventional 'potpourrt' style being built up from prominent themes from the opera in fashion which serves to epitomize the programme of the latter "a form which Wagner speedily aban- doned for the more plastic and pictures que Vorspiel. The themes which come saliently to notice in this overture are the opening peal of the trumpet which is the signal for the popular revolt; Rienzrs prayer from the fifth act; an excerpt from the spirited finale of the first act. leading to the Roman war-cry (which the brasses shout in unisonJ and

 In the first movement no great stretch of imagination is necessary to follow the daylight as 1t grows from the first timid' twinklinc rays of the dawn up to the bursting into view of the glorious, golden orb in all It's splendor. Nor are we at any loss to discern in the second movement the picture which the composer has drawn-the lonely. forsaken old mother dying in solitude. with many moan or distress and many a lament for her harum- -skarum boy. In the third move ment we see plainly the 1.-the. supple form cf Anitra as she moves through the grace ful and fascinating figures Of the dance. The last movement pictures the scene in the hall of the mountain king. with the imps in full cry after Peer Gynt.

 of Weingartner's later arrangement makes his purpose in re-scoring this de- lightful piece self-apparenI:
 When l was studying the score of Be1lioz's Instrumentation of the Invita- tion to Dance for purposes of perform ance, it struck me at once that the great master of the art Of Instrumentation had

 notice while I wasN reading the Berlioz

The little cadenZa before the Allegro is my addition. Liszt always played cadenza at his place, as he him self told me. Tausig has published one in print. Whoever sees nothing more
 than a sacrilego against Weber in the few measures. which to q certain extent lift he veil which still hides from us the shining picture of the nsuing movement, let me most kindly leave it to him to erase them.'
