No soloist, either ameteur or pro-
fessional, should neglect an opportun-
ltv to study standard choral WORKS.
The very best way to get an intimate
acnuaintance with the internal struc-
tire of one of these great master
pieces is to sing them through. L can
NOT conceive of a musician telther Vo-
raj or INSTRUMENTAL who has in his or
her heart a genuine love for music,
falling to appreciate the splendid OPP
nortunity offered by our May Fesu-
val chorus for becoming intimately &C
ouainted each year with two or three
of the best of the larger works In
musical literature.
OF course choral rehearsals are apt
to be long, and often are strain on
unframed voices. But the singer VINO
sings correctly seldom gets sung
ont Common sense must guide those
whose voices are subject to severe
strain in a lengthy rehearsal. III the
chorus has some notes that are mani
testify too high for you, do not Try 10
reach them If you find your throat
giving out, do not sing any more tnat
evening. You can follow the music
and become familiar with it without
singing a note.
I submit this proposition to the so
Io' voices of our city: How can you
have an opportunity to sing the SOLO
parts in an oratorio or an opera OF
a cantata unless you have a chorus
TO sin their part? The singers with
the good voices should add their pres
tige' to the chorus. The director
needs the best musicians to aid him
in establishing a strict and pronounc-
ed rhythm, and in coming TO the res
cue when the difficult intervals con-
fuse the inexperienced members. III
the musicians of our city do not
support such a splendid musical Ell
fort as is that of our Festivals, to
whom should we look for support? A
musician must be many sided, and his
interest not selfish He should ever
be ready to brow his influence on the
side of whatever in music or art de-
serves his support.
Is il right to alter notes or make
other changes in musical composl
lions.
When a composer dies he leaves
MS nothing but the little black dots
ON the music paper which tells us
only too imperfectly OF the beautl1ul
fabric his brain has wrought, ano
which he has taken with him to an
