In his score for Maid Marian sequel to
''Robin Hood" Reginald de Koven has returned
to legitimate musical forms and has evolved
compositions Which are types OF true opera
conique The character of Mr.. de kovcn'a opera
is widely divergent from the trivial musical COM
edics which have attained such vogue in the
last few years, and while his music is graceful
and melodious, his treatment OF 1t is i'll full
keeping with the best canons OF the art. As IN
"Robin Hood" there are many melodies in the
shape of simple ballads and concerted numbers
following the old English glcr, and the waltz
rhythm is also kept well in the foreground. \
vsry dramatic and dignitcd finale is attained in
thr climax of the second act. where the war
song of the Crusaders is counterpointed against
the battle hymn of the Saracens.
The compositions of Ivan Caryll and Lionel
Monckton, rendered during the performance of
'''rhe Toreador' at the Knickerbocker theutcr,
New York, have attracted wide attention and un-
usual praise from critics OF music. The conf
positions are commended for their light and very
agreeable character, as popular without being
vulgar" as "full of color OF lively tempo,
characteristic" and as rising to distinct dig
nifty in the toreador song"
