The st. Paul Choral club gives its
last concert of the season Thursday
evening, April Z, at the Peoples church.

1t seems hardly necessary to make any
comment on the attractiveness of this
great choral composition or to antici-
pate here the pleasure which is in store
for those who will hear the Requiem"
Thursday evening. With the exception
or Elijah" sung in February, the first
production of the Requiem" was the
most successful concert ever given in
this city by the Choral club. A Sec

will not be sung in Latin, which seems
a pity, but the English text was decided
upon because it was found that the
c1o
sessed were more easily read than the
copies in Latin, which were badly
printed. Three of the soloists for this
concert need even less introduction
than the composition. Mrs. De Wolf.

artist whom st. Paul always delights

with Miss Jessie Ringen, of ST. Louis

1t is little difficult to realize in the
West, where DR.. Richard Strauss is
not known, save through the beautiful
songs that are now 'crowding into all
song programmes, what a wonderful
hold this new high priest of music has
upon the people of the East. Indeed.
1t is little short Of the esteem which
he enjoys in his own native land, Ger
many. DR.. Strauss recital, which is
to be given in Plymouth church. in
Minneapolis, Monday evening, April 1,
will prove to be an event Of the high
est Importance musically to the North
west, and 1t is a matter Of keen re-
greet that he cannot be heard in st,
Paul. However, both interurban car
lines pass within two blocks Of Plym-
outh church, so that it will be COM
paratively easy for those who desire
to hear. him to reach the church.
His recital in Minneapolis is to con-
sist of large number Of his songs,
which are to be interpreted by his
wife, Nine. Pauline Strauss de Alma.
In addition to the songs there will be
included in the programme rendi-
ton Of Tennyson's "Enoch Arden" the
text to be read by Lewis Shave, the
well known baritone, at the special re-
quest of DR.. Strauss, while he himself
will interpret the musical setting to
the poem.
At last st. Paul is to have an oppor-
tunity to hear Harold Bauer, one Of
the greatest pianists of modern times
For the last two seasons Bauer has
| been in the United States during a por-
ton Of the year, but so far has not been
heard here. His recital is to occur at
Park Congregational church Friday
evening, April Is.
Bauer's initial engagement in Amer
lea was as solo pianist at the Worces-
ter musical festival His playing was
a revelation, and he carried off the
honors among the soloists at that time.
He was Immediately re-engaged for
| the succeeding year, when his sue
| cess was repeated. Bauer has also
been heard in concerted work with
| many of the leading orchestras of the
United States, including the Boston
Symphony and the Damrosch orches-
ira.
It is, however, in recital that Bauer
is most delightful. Here his genius has
ing can be appreciated to the full 1t
was his wonderfully fine playing at the
concert given by the Minneapolis Sym
phony orchestra last December, when
Bauer was the soloist, that led to
his engagement for recitals in the Twin
Cities. He had appeared twice before
in Minneapolis, once as soloist at the
| Apollo club concert in the spring Of
| 1902, and later in recital for the Thurs
| day musical, and each time with in
creasing appreciation and success. His
| splendid success last fall caused such
| demand for an additional recital in
Minneapolis, and that an opportunity
be given st. Paul people to hear him,
| that these recitals were finally arrang-
ed.
