s lesson in the fact for him and all other young
composers of the irritable and irritating kind.
Mr. Converse calls Job" a dramatic poem. doubt
less TO indicate desire to differentiate it from
the mongrel type OF composition like Ru5!nstein's
"Christus'' and other Biblical operas" which. de-
signed for either stage production or concert per-
formance are not perfectly adapted TO either the
atre or platform. In the compilation of the text,
which is partly extracted from the Book of JOB
and partly from the Psalms particular regard
Is had for literary sequence in the selecuons'
but only to conformity with the ethical and musi-
cal plans. The characters Job, friend (com-
pounded, the text shows. out OF the three com
forters, Eliphaz. Zophar and Bildad but omitting
the most distinct and humanity interesting of all
the admonishers of Job, the youthful Elihu, the
son Of Barachel. the Buzite, who held his tongue
while his elders were talking. but broke out at the
last lest his belly should burst like bottles j.
n Woman Of Israel introduced, obviously for the
sake OF having woman's voice in the solo por-
tion for which purpose Jobs wife, the only female
character in the ancient dramatic poem, would not
serve wanting. as she did, the supposedly charac-
teristic quality of loquacty), Jehovah Che is only
"a voice IN the book and was that at the
hearsal but came into view the concert in the
person of Mr.. Croxton) and an impersonal chorus
In the text the different characters carry on the
controversy between Job and his vexatous COM
forters, assisted by the Woman of Israel who,
MT Converse. represents the spirit of unquestion-
ing faith while the trune friend stands for the
spirit of conventional piety." The chorus.
unues Mr.. Converse, represents superhuman
voices which declare the glory of God: against
their sustained mood of alteration and praise beats
the contest of human emotions"
1t is in his illustration this feature of his
cal ana musical scheme that the characteristic ele
ment Of Mr.. Converse's composition is found; but
or this more presently. The progress of the lit
erary plot may hastily be outlined as follows:
There is a twofold eXordum TO the piece: one in
strumental, the other choral. The instrumental
presents in succinct form large portion of the
musical material which is utilized later. In the
choral part the Woman and a small chorus sing the
antiphon, "Mserere mihi," and the Psalm "I,au-
date Dominum," the music being based a Gre
Goran melody In the old Ratisbon version) as fol-
lows:

ratio mem NE nm.

The harmonization is diatonic-model. The chorus
speaks as spake the Church through Palestrna-
without passion, serenely with an uplift as in the
presence of awful and incomprehensible mystery:
then with a jubilation like that of the mingled
songs and shouts of the morning stars and all the
sons Of God. This spirit Mr Converse has caught
most admirably, apd 10 it he recurs again and
again, and finally again at the close though the
purity of the utterance is somewhat clouded by
the devices Of modern ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
that are vulgar. though so often spoken of as re-
hnements. The jubilant flood subsidies, and out Of
the depths there arise the sounds of Jobs lamenta-
ton: he curses the day and service OF his birth
and complains Of life because of his anguish. Here
the element of personal expression enters with a
Characteristic motif which is frequently associated
with the character In the progress Of the work:

The contrast which Mr. Converse has employed
in the two classes OF his music is that of ideal
ism and realism: and il is the latter which Is
routed. It is the old story of the difference be-
tween the pursuit of a melodic thought arising
out Of mood, expression of II. capable OF being
moulded 20 reproduce and intensity It. and a Sc

notice that some of the English papers in men
toning his appointment regret that the inspector
generaship should not have gone to some stronger

are mostly the echoes of groWls at the Shanghai
