Miss Drew's Concert.

A song recital will be given by Miss
Clara Drew, coatraito. on March in the
music rooms of the Washington Club
Her program IS an unusually interesting
one and contains many songs never
sung in Washington. and only heard
en- rare occasions With the execution
of the Mozart and Beethoven numbers
all the songs are by modern composers
Special mention should be made of the
Dvorak selections which Miss Drew has
taken from his Bfbiische Liecer the
delight of all musicians. She has chosen
two Of these highly dramatic and deeply
devotional religious songs
Her French selections also deserve
mention. for they are both new in Wash
ington. The first by DeIibes tells the
story of Myrto. & girl of high spiritual
thought, who Is surrounded by these Of
only worldly material natures. The ac-
compartment is highly descriptive of the
indifference with which the world wags
on unheeding the individual striving for
higher things. But wonderful climax
Is reached ar the end where Myrto hears
Heavens song. TO which all other ears
are deaf. The Cesar Fsranck mum Der is
new herein fact. new TO America-and
Is in the composers most classic and
chaste style. She closes her program
with a group OF songs by Boston COM
poEers
Miss Drew possesses a pure dramatic
contralto voice and is endowed with the
art of singing light and dainty things
with an ease and finish unusual to con-
traltos. Wherever she appears her
power of differentiation and her apnre-
citation of values in both lyric and dra-
matte work is always subject of inter-
est
