A Triumph Scored
in ''Manzoni Requiem. ;"

The Philharmonic club reached high
water mark in the rendition of Verdi's
''Manzoni Requiem at the Swedish Tab
ernacle last evening. Never before in the
history Of Minneapolis has such mag
nificent success attended the efforts of
a local organization.
The immense auditorium was thronged
to the DOORS and many remained stand
ing throughout the entire evening listen
ing to one of the most important of the
later works of the Master Italian. Herr
Emil Oberhoffer directed, as usual, and
it would be difficult to accord him too
great praise for the superb results he Sc
cured. Not only was this true of the
requiem itself. but of the .Tannhaeuser''
overture which preceded it.
& The club. itself was in fine form and:
sang with greater fidelity than it has yet
shown. The voices were beautifully ball
a1Sced, and of lovely choral quality. The
closest attention and the responsiveness
of the big chorus was marvellous, and
this was especially. true Of the male
Voices which are apt to be a trihe slow
at times The composition is such that
the audience is obliged to hold itself in
leash. Encores were not expected in a,
requiem. but when the ''Sanctusn was
sung the audience fairly went wild and
insisted on the richly deserved encore,
which Herr Oberlloffer graciously ac-
corded.
OF the soloists it may be said that col
lectively no better quartet has been heard
in Minneapolis. Miss Cummings-her

Miss Cummings has a beautifully clear
and sweet soprano of high range, and

but she uses it with consummate and ar

better advantage. and she won, splendid
recognition for her artistic singing. It
was superb especially SO in the "Agnus
Del duet with Miss Cummings, where
the voices sang in unison octaves. Their
plrasing was elegant and the effect
superb.

fortunately DR.. Duff was suffering from
severe cold and the audience could catch
but an occasional glimpse Of the splendid
singing of which he is capable. AS it
| was, he saved himself as much as possible
and was enabled to complete the evenings
work. His singing was marked with good
taste, and in the singing Of the "Mors
Stupebit he indicated in some degree his
dramatic power.
The Manzoni'' was composed in 1874
and is one of the most modern of the
I Verdi compositions 1t stands almost
alone in the requiems, in that it goes out
side of the regular canons of religious
musical works of its class. AS the fore
word in the program aptly says, sit is a
dramatic threnody in memory of a loved
friend It opens with the "kyrie,' a

pears in the "Lbera Me- The music

was nobly sung. Miss Cummings added
much to the dramatic effect by her artistic
work. The "Sanctus' of which 1 have
spoken follows. and then the superb duet

The work of the orchestra was wonder
fully good, and brings UP the question,
why should not Minneapolis possess as
good a symphony orchestra as exist in
