MUSIC.
THE MUSICAL ARr CONCERT.

The Lenten concert OF the Musical Art Society
was heard in Carnegie Hall last evening but 20 say
that it enjoyed is hardly correct. perhaps. for
in character it so largely partOOk Of the deeper
spirit Of the that not TIL the, third part was

1t a programme made up in large part Of
numbers new to the repertoire OF the Society, but
the choir not always quite az their best, were par
tcularly effective in some OF the music that was
fresh to them. In the "Agnus Der OF Hans Leo
Hasler. who was born IN Nuremberg about 1854
and whose 'Oh. Sacred Head Now Wounded" we
all know; in two old French songs. a brunette"
and ''ronde vilageoise'' from the same collection
concert; and in Max Rogers part song for six
voices. ''Fr1hlingsblick."
The French songs and the Roger composition
were heard one after the other in the third group
The gay light simple folk-melody Of the "bTU-
nette"-a welcome and fitting relief after the sus-
tanned devotions that Dreceded-was redemanded
by the audience. The bTstling difficulties OF
Rogers part song were surmounted with every
appearance Of the utmost ease. which was some
thing Of feat. Nor did it sound so terrible as
Richard strausss playful eulogy OF the composer
as man beside whom he himself seems a cIassicist
might lead to expect. In fact there were those
who positively enjoyed it!
Perhaps the choir were least successful in Men

An interesting group was the second part Of the

The composition is in reality solemn andante-
