A splendid meeting OF the music
department OF the Mishawaka Wom-

noon in the entertainment parlOrs OF

meeting was the largest attended this
year.
The principal paper Of the afternoon
was read by Miss Bertha Marter, who
used the subject. The Rise of the
Dramatic Style OF Music"

derstand the title OF "Camerata,' and
endeavOred TO bring back a form OF
art akin to the old Greek tragedies.
succeeded in bringing forth something
better, calling their new musico. ORA
matte Invention opera D" said the
speaker.
"MOnteverde was the first trained
Italian musician who devoted himself
TO the new music and while there are
faulty passages in his work, they must
be looked upon as unleaTned attempts
TO reach q new and yet 'unheard OF
style Of beauty for which he was con-
stantly longing Dramatic expression
was his prominent characteristic.
Though Monteverde did nor actually
invent the opera, he proved himself
more competent to deal with ii than
any man then living He was truly
the greatest musician of his age and
ne was the inventor Of a system OF
harmony which has remained in use
until the present day. In his prOduc-
ton Of "OrfeO" he employed an or
Chcstra of SO instruments, an incred-
liable number for that early age. The
early musical drama was reserved ex-
Clusively for the entertainment of
princes.
"Cavalli was MOnteverde's most dis
tinguished pupil. In his operas we
find a regularly developed aria. vary
ing the mOnotOny Of the recitative. His
prediction for rhythmic melody was
fully shared by Cesti, pupil of the
celebrated Roman Maestro Carissimi
THE first public opera house was
opensd in Venice in 1887. At the end
OF the 18th century there were IL
opera houses in Venice which shows
the readiness with which the Nene-
tians received the opera as one OF
their cherished amusements and sup
ported it literally
