been made to do something Of the kind
with amateurs, but the efforts were
sporadic and endured only for season
or two. Never had the aim been raised
so high and in no case has 1t been
pursued so consistently, successfully
and for so long time. For more than
a score of years a large body Of music
lovers have been RECALLED twice every
season-once in the Christmastide and
once in the Lenten-with the finest
specimens of medieval cGpelld music,
with the church music of Bach and his
successors of the German school and
with the fruits of these tendencies
among the composers OF the last hslf
century in all schools.
The difficulties which are inherent in
music of the class cultivated by the
Musical Art Society could only be over
come by professional singers; conse-
auently, the programmes offered by the
choir attracted from the outset dis
eliminating public. 1t was not long,
however, before music lovers in general
came TO realize the charm of the &c
clesiastical and secular music which
Mr.. Damrosch was offering, and year by
wear the position of the society grew
stronger, while its influence spread
throughout the country. II has, indeed,
performed the work of pioneer, and
because Of IL thousands Of persons
from the Atlantic to the Pacific are
now familiar with music which except
for il would be far from their ken, be-
cause neither within the capacity nor
the province of choral societies OF the
ordinary kind.
The first concert of the society this
season will take place at Carnegie Hall
on December IA. This concert, as has
been suggested, is always given up
largely to Christmas music, and THIS
wear there will be more than usual or
the Joyous canticles, though the iiturgl-
cal music Of the medieval church VIII
largely give way before secular carol
ling. Thus there will be three old
French Noels, two of which have been
heard before at the society's concerts,
but one of which will be wholly new
There will also be two ancient German
songs in settings dating back to the
first decade Of the seventeenth century
though the melodies are much older.
But the principal novelty in THIS part
of the programme will be q compost
ton by modern German church mu-
sician named Sigfrid Karg-Elert, who,
like Max Roger, is following in the
footsteps Of Sebastian Bach, though
using modern media. This work Is &
sort of fantasia on the hymn "Vom
Himmel hoch da komm ich her." which
Martin Luther wrote for his children
in 1886, and which has maintained
itself. words and melody, in the Luth-
eran hymnals ever since. Bach made
the chorales which Luther was largely
instrumental in introducing into the
Protestant church the foundation not
only of his organ pieces, but also Of his
cantatas composed for festival pur-
poses. Karg-Elert is following him in
this and, having published some OF his
music in London as well as Munich,
