A Communication

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: am taking the liberty Of writ
ing 20 YOU. not with the intention that
you publish this letter, but merely FOR
the purpose of informing the gentle
man who wrote the criticism Of the re-
cent performance Of the "Meistersing-
err" in which Mr.. Clarence Whitehill
for the first time sang Hans Sachs in
this country, that do not agree with
him at all. -...
You will note by my name that am
of German extraction, but, so that you

sion, / wish 10 say that am an Ameri-
can, born in the City Of New York, and
have lived here all my life, with the
exception Of seven years, FIVE Of which
were spent In Germany and two In
Switzerland. Therefore, my remarks
are not TO be considered as fsvoring
German artists on account Of any
blood ties"

was first played in Paris at the Concerts
Lamoureux, and which has been played
in this country in Chicago by the Sym
phony Orchestra there. He has also
written three patriotic songs which
were originally sung by the tenor
Franz of the Paris opera. He is also
the author of a number OF orchestral
pieces.
1t is, however, as conductor that
Comte d'HarcOurt is best known and
loved in France. 1t was he who gave
the first performance of Debussy's
"L'ApresMidi dun Faune," which was
presented at his popular concert on De-
cember %, 1894.
Comte d'Harcourt has been sent on,
many musical missions by the French
government, as when he came TO the
United States in October, 1915, as the
musical representative of France at
the San Francisco Exposition. He has
made reports on the musical status of
many countries, and has been the re-
cipient of many decorations not only
from his own nation, but from those
which he has visited or served in the
interests of his art.
Comte d'Harcourt has made the fol-
lowing statement regarding Gounod
and "Mors Vita:
"Gounod would appear to be the
forerunner Of Debussy. Gounod died
in 1893, and in 1894, at my concert of
December 20, came the first addition of
L'Apres-Midi dun Faune,' which was
the point of departure in the career of
Debussy.
"If one compares the theme Of
I'Apres-Midi dun Faune' with the
theme Of 'Mors ct Vita transposing il
to the same tone and the same octave,
one cannot help but find that they
strangely resemble each other with
Gounod's 'Gabsrit' and quartz in
creased. The bass is exactly like that
of Debussy. However, Gounod only
takes up the theme later in transform
ing the harshness of the quartz into
the interval, which is more human, of
the quartz juste. The eminent critic
and composer, Alfred Bruneau, in Civ
ing description of the concert at
which this work was first presented,
was not greatly impressed by the COM
position. 1t was not until the produc-
ton of 'Pelleas and Melisande' that the
glory of L'Apres-Mdi dun Faune' be-
came universal.
Besides his masses and numerous
other pieces of music, Gounod wrote

Comte Eugene d'larcourt, who Will
conduct the benefit performance Of
Gounod's oratorio, "Mors e Vita" at
the Metropolitan Opera House on next
Sunday night, is a well known French
composer and scion of one of the
noblest families Of France. He IS the
only son Of Comte Jean d'Harcourt and
a nephew of Comte Bernard d'Harcourt,
formerly French Ambassador for many
years to London. and previous to that
ambassador to Rome and Berne.
The present Comte Eugene d'Har-
court. who came from France for the
special purpose of conducting the pro-
duction of what he characterizes as
the "swan song of Gounod," was born
in Paris and is a member of the Jockey
Club. In his early youth he studied
music at the Paris Conservatoire under
such masters as Massenet and Savard,
interrupting his studies on one oc-
casion to make visit of few weeks
to New York. Later he entered the
military service, where he remained for
three years.
Upon the advice Of Charles Lamou-
reux, TO whom the young comte went
at the expiration of his military SER
vice, he left Paris for Berlin and en-
tered the Berlin Royal High School of
Music, from which he took many d.
plomas. When he returned to France
the first thing he did was to become the
musical critic Of the Paris Figaro"
and while serving in that capacity he
formulated his propaganda for giving
to the laboring classes that music
which had previously been reserved al
most exclusively for the delectation of
connoisseurs and musical aristocrats.
To this end he founded the institution
which was to become known as the
Concerto dTIarcourt."
Comte d'IIarcourt's principal operas
are "Torquato Tasso" and Severe
Torelli," and he is the composer of
"The Symphonic Neo- Classique," which

ago that Mr.. Whitehill could give some
of the German artists, in other words.
Carl Braun, among others, "cards and
spades" so to speak, as regards the
portrayal Of the character of Wotan,
the same comment may be made that
Mr.. Whtehill is not in the part the
way Carl Braun is. simply on account
Of his nationality.
Aside from this, should like to state
when your critic said that Mr.. White
hill sang the role, whereas some of the
Germans Gin other words, Mr.. Braun,
as he has been the only German recent
ly to sing the same) "barked them" /
cannot see how such a criticism was
possible. il he gave the opera his full
attention. as when | recently heard the
two performances Of the "Walktre,"
one sung by each of the two artists
above referred to, there was no ques-
ton in my mind that Mr.. Whitehill
barked his roles just as much as Mr.
braun ever ala.
These comments are made by one
who has had the advantage Of having
lived in Germany for over five years
and having real appreciation of the
artistic soul Of the German singers,
and who believes in giving credit where
credit is due. do not hesitate TO say
that Americans are far superior to
Germans in great many fields of en-
deavor, and give them all due credit
for their superiority in these lines. but
the portrayal of German opera is not
one Of these lines.

two oratorios composed on vast scale
THE Redemption" and "Mors Vita
Both were commenced and terminated
at different epochs of his life, and in
each of them there is to be found
Gounods purest Inspirations, instinct
as both works are with the spirit Of
his religious asthetical life.
"Mors ct Vita" was composed for a
festival at birmingham, England, where
the first addition took place in 1885,
under the direction of Hans Richter,
and with the solo parts rendered by
Mesdames Albani and Patey and
Messrs. Lloyd and Stanley. "Mors c
Vita" may be regarded as the swan
song of Gounod. That prudishness
found here. On the contrary, one al
most imagines Juliet or Marguerite ad-
dressing to the Saviour a fervent pray
err. Gounod was firm believer. His
religious music bears the trace of his
simple faith and grandeur of soul.
In the performance next Sunday
night at the Metropolitan Opera House,
which is the first, by the way, ever to
have been given in New York, a certain
amount OF cutting has been found neces-
sary, but this will in no way hurt the
rationale and musical quality of the
work. Gounod, who had been brought
up in a religious seminary, and had
worn the cloth, had tendency to for
get the exigencies of time when he lost
himself in the composition of religious
music.
The 0ratorio Society has not sung
Bach's "St. Matthew Passion" since
