Last Concert of the Season by the
Choral Society.

,rha closing concert of the Washington
choral Society's season Of 1904, at Chase's
Theater last evening, was listened to by
large and appreciative audience. The per-
formance was Mendelssohn's greatest ora
torio. Elijah.
The season reviewed from an artistic
standpoint has been most successful
The chorus work last evening reached the
high standard set by previous concerts, but
it must be fairly stated that 1t was not
due the orchestra that the great audience
enioyed any part of the choruses. The
location of the orchestra in front of the
singers shut out the harmonious effects of
tone for which the oratorio is noted, ana
also too plainly initiated against the work
of the soloiSts.
n was Mr. de Koven,s first effort as an
ora torio conductor. and his friends present
must admit that he showed too plainly that
he was at disadvantage in that role Not
only did the work lag at times, but In many
portions of the score the chorus effect was
entirely lost by the Irregular time and blare
of the orchestral music.
The soloists We're Mrs. Hissem de Moss,
soprano: Mrs Bertha Gushing Child. alto;
Mr. Harry G.. Quincy. tenor, and Mr..
Gwiiym Miles. basso all of New York and
Philadelphia.
The second quartet was composed of To-
cal singers. Miss Charlotte ST. John Elliott,
soprano: Mrs. William I. Reed. alto; Mr..
Melville d. Hensey, tenor and Mr. A. w.
Porter basso the two men being from
the choirs of st. Patrick's and ST. Aloysius'
churches, respectively.
Mr. Gwilym Miles. basso. who took the
part of Elijah, sang with mastery dignity
and breadth. His voice is of rich timbre
and wide range and. although suffering
from a cold. he used 1t most effectively,
both in recitative and the aria. Its APP
pealing quality was doubtless most beauti-
full in the aria. "It is Enough, which was
rendered exceedingly well.
Next to Mr.. Miles. the honors of the
evening fell to Mrs. De Moss. the soprano.
She possesses clear, high voice, but not
strong. Her fortissino tones were plain
and telling but her pianissimo was not well
sustained. Her voice was effective In the
solos with the uuartets- Her principal solo,
Hear Ye Israel would have been much
more pleasing to the auditors If it had
not been obscured by the orchestra.
Mr. Quincy. the tenor. rendered the aria
stIf With All Your Hearts," with true sem
tinent and feeling. He has some very good
tones.
Mrs. Child is stranger to musical cir
cles here. She has a voice of good quality
but was faulty in her phrasing last even
ing.
Altogether the performance showed a
pronounced lack of familiarity with the
score on the part of the conductor. which,
unfortunately. contributed much to the un-
eyenness of the presentation and overshad-
owed the true merit of the chorus.
