An evening of Grieg was the delight
full contribution Of the advanced mu
sic students of Sacred Heart academy
in ST. Josephs hall, Thursday evening,
a large number enjoying to the utmost
the entire Peer Gynt Suite, op. 46 It
bespeaks much for the musical intelli,
gence of Salem folk, that such events
can be given and properly appreciated.
! The work of the musical students Of
the academy is attracting much fa-
vorable criticism among musicians, the
versatility of the players and their
| freedom Of execution being most re-
markable. The most charming part Of
/ their music is that it is at all times
musical, the most exquisite taste like
wise characterizing the selections com.
bined on the various program given.
The stringed quartet composed of nu-
mcrous instruments is most delightful
to hear, the only regrettable feature
being that it cannot be heard oftener
The program presented Thursday was
clucidated by readings which were given
by the students who introduced the
different numbers in this manner. The
Sute was preceded by Grieg's "Nor-
wegian Bridal Procession" the second
part of the program including compost
tions by other composers. The music
by Grieg is peculiarly fascinating, the
interpretations given Thursday night
being essentially cnlightening and
pleasing Grieg is the chief living ex.
ponent of Norwegian music, as Henrik
Ibsen is Of its Literature. "Peer
}, Gynt" is a versificd drama by lbsen,
to which GIcig has written an orchcs,
tral suite Of that name, from which
arrangements for piano have been tran
/, scrbed The scenes, incidents, moods
? and characters Of ibsen s drama are
essentially Scandinavian; wild, gloomy,
fantastic, often vague and incoherent
to the reader of more classic and pol
. ished literature. "Peer Gynt, ~ the
; hero, is awless adventurer, Of wild
, and mcouth personality, undisciplined
. instincts and passions, and most chaotic
career. The various parts of the Grieg
, suite are founded upon various scenes
of the drama, he numbering Of the
: different movements misleading t1e
{ player, as the chronological progression
| Of the drama is not always adhered to
in the music. The program as given
was arranged in the order in which the
numbers should represented TO fit the
scenes which they represent in the lif,
and adventures of "Peer Gynt" II
