DONOR PULITZERS
WISH is HONORED
BY PHILHARMONIC
Composers He Preferred Are
Selected for Anniversary
Concert

The first of the public concerts which
the Philharmonic Society is devoting
this week to in celebration Of its
seventy-ffth anniversary took place
in Carnegie Hall last night. II was
also one of the regular subscription
concerts. and the audience was OF the
normal order. neither more numerous
nor different in character from that
which meets regularly on Thursday
evenings 10 hear the music performed
by the society's orchestra.
The programme was designed by the
conductor, Mr.. Stransky, to do honor
TO the most generous patron, after
death, which the society has ever had
Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer; and 1t met the
wish expressed in his will by which
he endowed the society IN royal
manner, by offering music of his favor
ito COMPOSERS. Wagner, Beethoven and
List. The first was represented by
the so-called Centennial March, a
piece Of music which Wagner composed
for the Philadelphia Exposition OF
1876, and which has been almost uni
versally recognized as about the paltrl-
est production TO which great musl-
clan ever put his name. Honest ad-
mirers of the great musical dramatlst
long ago comforted themselves with
the hope that it had been forgotten
Many years have gone by since Mr..
Seidl tried the experiment OF revlVlng
il, and told some of his intimate
friends that Wagner had conceived ITS
principal theme, not in contemplation
of the glorious democracy eXempllhed
by the United States, but on stepping
out of gloomy archway into a sunlit
street.
Whether this story is true is as in
consequential as the intimation which
Wagner himself conveyed when he gave
the work a motto from Goetne's
Faust" TO the effect that freedom was
deserved only by one who was forced
duily to CONQUER it. IL is dreary
piece Of manufactured music, and the
precision of last nights performance
and the fine quality of the Orchestra's
tone did nothing toward the deserved
condemnation into which It has fallen.
Beethoven was represented by an ar
rangement for mems voices of setting
of Gellert's hymn. "Die Himmel rub
men" 1.-The Heavens Are Telling" IN
the language of Haydn's oratoriol,
sung in good style by the Mendelssohn
Glee Club, accompanied on the organ
by Charles A. Baker and conducted by
Louis Koemmenich, and by the third Of
the "Leonore" overtures, as tney are
ccnyentionslly numbered.
Whether or not propaganda for the
List cult was made by the perform
ance of that musicians Faust Sym
phony" we shall not attempt TO say.
IL might be an honest surmise that
when the late Mr.. Pulitzer expressed a
wish that the programmes OF the so
Ciety be made more popular and
COUPLED il with the name of List he
had the Hungarian Rhapsodies III mind
rather than the Faust Symphony,
which the ordinary mind is as little
likely 20 conceive as popular as the
majority Of lovers of the classics. as
classicsl-the antithesis of popular,
of course. In this composition the
Nendelssohn Glee Club sang the
Chorus mysticus," which concludes
Goethe's poem. h. +. n.
