MUSIC.
SONG RECITAL BY EVAN WILLIAMS.

After an absence from local concert rooms of two
or three years. Mr.. Evan Williams effected a
entrance at Mendelssohn Hall last night. An
audience of fine proportions and filed with cordial
ity greeted the singer the occasion into
gadsomeness and rejoicing, making the
singer during his silence. caused by visit
abroad and q voice which subject to vagaries
and fits OF contuInacy he had continued TO hold
a warm place in the hearts of many lovers of
affected, honest. whole soued singing. He had
prepared programme of the right Sort beginning
with three superb specimens of the oratorio STYLE
continuing 1t with the Beethoven cycle. ITO the
Distant Beloved" and ending 1t with the pretty
sentimentalities of a song by Chaminade en-
titled Woodland Song and the "Eliland' series
by Alexander Fielitz. His first number from
Handels "Jephtha," the recitation Deeper, ana
Deeper Stl,'' and the air WAIT Her, Angels left
the minds OF his admirers filled with apprehension
for the voice. which used to ring out with
the clearness of clarion, sounded sadly veed and
afflicted with ominous hoarseness. There was
little to rejoice in beyond the loveliuess OF the
singers intentions.
AS he warmed to his work however. the voice
improved in power and quality and when he
reached that golden page of Mendelssohns, Watch
man, will the night soon pass?" from the Hymn
of Praise, he put forth intensity and eloquence
of utterance that stirred up tremendous enthu-
siasm among his listeners. 1t was honest delight
following triumph won by an exhibition or art
which genuinely beautiful;-beautiful IN It's
sincerity beautiful in Its dignity. beautiful in Its
proclamation of a true and lofty style OF charac-
terstically English singing. Upon the high plane
which the listeners had been raised by TINS fine
performance Mr.. Williams held them with d
tenderly impassoned reading of the BeethoVen
songs-that model cycle which inspired Schumarn
TO the only efforts in song literature which are
comparable with 1t, and which is so easily pro-
famed that it's lovers scarcely ever see It an
nounced without feeling of apprehension. These
songs as Goudnel said of his harmonization of the
old Protestant psalm tunes. best suited TO the
"gorication of God at home" and ii Is well that
singers and others of low intelligence and poor
taste cannot appreciate their marvellous grace and
tender beauty. Mr.. Percy, who accompanied Mr..
Williams last evening, did not do them justice,
something like tinidity marking his playing of the
pianoforte. and failure to appreciate how largely
the instrument shares In the gentle passion of the
songs. He accompanied the oratorio airs upon the
organ. and there labored against the sluggish and
frequently uncouth utterances of the Mendessohn
Hall organ. II E K
