There is no more methodical or con

than Mr.. Pinero. When be mas a play

regardless of moods.
Louis n. Parker equally pleads guilty
to an utter lack of method in his work.

MATTERS OF INTEREST TO
WASHINGTON MUSIC LOVERS
Emperor Williams Views on Chorus
Compositions.

Emperor Williams Views on Chorus
Compositions.
The recent address of Emperor Will
liam to the chorus leaders and judges
of the prize singing at Frankfort on
the Main has caused sensation. The
Emperor, while praising the work of the
choruses, took exception to the class OF
compositions they sang. In his opinion
these were too artificial. and he advised
the leaders hereafter to choose simpler
melodies. and especially to cultivate
German folk songs.
Some composers. especially Heger and
Brambach, he said. failed to do Justice
TO patriotic texts, INDUCED in tone paint
ing, and placed extravagant value on or
chestra-lke orchestration, which did not
fall within the province of male
chorus.
Another interesting announcement
made by the Emperor on this occasion
was that he intended shortly to publish
collection Of German folk songs, which
he would recommend to the considerable
attention OF all choruses of the Father
land.
The critical remarks of the Emperor
have caused no little excitement and
commanded attention in musical circles
in Germany as well as in this country.
where German chorus singing plays an
important part. 1t is admitted by many
competent to Judge that there is reason
able foundation for tie Emperor's criti-
ctSm on the character of German cboruc
singing. There seems to be a tendency
to draw away from simpler and char
acteristic composition for the use OF
male choruses. and 1t is agreed by these
same judges that a return to those
forms might be opportune as tending to
popularize German vocal music.
