Symphony in c minor No. L.. Brahms
Mr.. Parker began his organ concerto

during the winter of 1901-02.
The Boston Herald says: Mr.. Park
er has lightly won his prufesso' ship anu
his doctorate in music by genuine, sub
stantial, original work as Organist,
choirmaster. teacher AID composer, and
this new piece, finished within the
twelvemOnth past, comes to enhance
the estimate of his talents as melndist,
harmonfst and master Of device, color,
tone and expedent in music. There |
was advantage for everybody in having
MI Parker at the orga ndesk Com
posers who are not also eXecutant ar
fists are little more successful than |
poets and novelists in authors read |
ings. and are apt to make bad mess
of the score which they try to conduct; |
bit the composer Writ uOso is pretty sure |
of success in delivering what he has |
written. Mr. Parker. playing from in |
innate knowledge of his sc re and with |
out reference to notes, could command |
absolutely the effect he had localized |
for the organ, and could control it's re-
sources elastiCalIy for homOgeneity ana
symmetry of ensemble. The concerto
was listened to in close attention. gave
great general pleasure and was follow
ed by several recalls for its author.
