MUSIC.
THE MUSICAL ART SOCIETY.

There was much that was familiar (to speak by
the card of those who obliged TO observe all
the musical doings of New York year in and year
out) in the programme of the Musical Art Society
at the first concert of its fifteenth season in Car
neSie Hall last night Pedestrians Marcelnne
Mass opened the programme. 1t was given without
the '.Credo,' which had been sung on an earlier
occasion. when the GLORIA" (Which was sung last

new thing out of 1t. Then there was Verdis ave

FEDORA" AT THE METROPOLITAN

Ever since q certain autumn night of 1885 tnere
has attached here to the name Of oInnerto Hio'
dano an interest born of the expectation tnat lie
might in time accomplish something operatlcalls
worth while. The night in question saw the Aiieii
can premiere of Giordano's Andrea Shehei'

effects a faculty possessed by most members OF
the young Italian group of composers, was uuiS
remarked but there also indications or some
thing better this musical setting OF the sur ana
outcry of the French Revolution. When Fedora
was added TO the repertory of the metropolitan
Opera House last season by Mr.. Conried, Giordanos
earlier promise was seen to have thus far lacked
fulhlTnent. Last nights performance of this work
by the same singers employed in 1t year ago and
on the same stage disclosed no new qualities
counting Importantly in its favor. The same facfe
adaptation of musical means to theatrical ends was
there and the devices used seemed not whit more
significant or sincere than first. The circumstan
tial dialogue between the principals showed its for
lack of beauty, and even the cleverly contrived
moments of suspense, obtained at the close of the
second acts first scene by the subdued whispers
of single string voices, would have gained i'm

merely dynamic effects. a few passages of the
broad lyrical sort there undoubtedly but they
are sadly outweighed by the heavy burden of COM

has loaded HIS score.
