that-our stern Puritan ancestors of
old England arrived on our shore with
strong prejudice against ali ornate or
artistic music; those earnest souls for
City years fully believed that the mer-
ry, joyous. dance-liIxe music was
closely allied to the devil; and Calvin
once said: These songs which are
composed for the mere pleasure Of the
ear, cannot fail greatly to displease
the Lord. Beyond the solemn sing

the art Of singing IN 1712, 1t was re-

MUSIC AND MUSICIANS

by year and today, as a result Of that
influence, we have the great musical
festivals with their full and trained
choruses of thousands of voices. What
influence has been felt from this Ger
man movement for choral culture? In
over fifty cities of this country, grand
oratories are now annually sung by
immense choruses and full orchestral
accompaniment The study, the prac-
tice, which has made such perform
ances possible, has been Of inestim-
able value to, not only the artists,
but to the country and this musical
movement has been. and is, a distinct
and yearly increasing factor in the
social betterment of our country.
Boston and New York securely
placed the western hemisphere upon
the musical map; yet In 1713, when
that wonderful organ was presented
to Queens Chapel In Boston, by Thorn

inhabitants were In grave doubts as
to the advisability of the gift. From
that feeble beginning grew greater
and more munificent gifts.
How much the entire country owes
to the organization of the famous
Handel and Haydn society In 1915,
in Boston? It's influence Is world
wide. It's merits the honor of raising
the standard of musical taste and of
disseminating a genuine and universal
love for choral music. We are all

expressions OF delight were heard
from those who heard her. She has

The music lovers of this vicinity
are anticipating with great pleasure
the recital to be given by Christine
Miller, contralto, on Dec. 4. She is
considered to be one of the leading
singers in America today and her
itinerary for the coming season is
simply tremendous. which goes to
prove her capabilities and popularity
as singer. The following was taken
from The Buffalo Express: "The
concert introduced, as soloist, Chris
tine Miller, contralto. Much has been
written the country over OF the
beauty OF Miss Millers voice, and the
nobility of the natural organ has not
been overestimated. In the middle
and lower range especially, it is of
luscious quality and great warmth.
For her art as interpreter, even
stronger praise can be accorded her.
Her deep musical feeling and in
telligence enable her to portray vivid
~ the emotional thought through the
medium Of tone Miss Miller has also
unusually perfect enunciation. In adj
dition to her musical abilities this
singer has as winning a personality
as graces the concert stage, and she
won her audience instantly She was

made to give a double encore at the
end" Miss Miller appears. under the
