Jersey City
Active in Music
By Edward S. Breck

Acting President Musicians Society Of Jersey Ciy
The prospects for Ed active musical
season 1878 in Jersey City seem ex-
ceptionally bright at tbs time, as, in
deed, they do in most OF the large cities
of the United States. With the Allies
winning on all fronts and with the end
of the war in sight, although by no
means near, the public knows better
what is to be expected and what ar
engagements to make for the winter.
Through lack of organization and on
account CT certain amount of hys-
terra, the musical activities of Jersey
City were very much curtaiied last sea-
SON. The Community Choral Society,
which made such great strides during
its first season under the conductor
ship of Edward S. Brock, was forced to
abandon rehearsals early in the sea-
SON on account of scarcity of coal to
heat the public schools in the evening.
Indications are that the Community
Chorus will be able to reorganize this
season and continue its work which
started so auspiciously.

Cello Voices
Love and Grief


In speaking of the cello it may be
interesting to music lovers to know
that this exquisitely toned instrument
is made on the Same general model
and principles rs tho violin, but with
certain notifications.
Relatively to the pitch it 10 made
smaller than the violin, because If it
were SO constructed as to have the
same relation TO the pitch as the vio-
lin it would not only have an over
powe ring tone but would be unmanage1
able from it's size.
1t is claimed that the earliest speci-
mems Of violins were made in the mid
die OF the sixteenth century. and thu
Tietfenbruckers, German family, are
credited with being the inventors.
They were famous lutte makers in We
netia and Lombardy.
The tenor violin, in compass II fifth
lower than the treble violin, preceded
the latter, and from existing speci-
mems we know that the bass violin,
now termed the violoncello, with q tun-

Accompanying Now
An Essential Art
By Grace Anderson

The art Of accompanying is no longer
q non-essential. The singer, the viblin-
list, the 'cellist, in fact, the player CT
nearly every instrument requires the
accompaniment of piano or orchestra.
1t must, therefore, be considered seri-
ously as an art per Sc, able to stand
alone on its merits or dement's.
The critic Ernest Newman. raises
the question Us to whether there is
such person existing as q ''perfect
accompanist." Probably not; but IL
there is absolute perfection to be found
the modest accompanist would be the
last one TO claim it for himself.
/ say modest" accompanist, because
that admirable trait has been forced
on him and made his own through
long years of neglect and gnominy.
Now he is beginning to come into his
own and to be considered q being
worthy of notice and even Of discus
sion. But there was time when ac-
companying was scarcely recognized as
an art. 1t was ct best an accomplish
mcnt suitable to the sweet girl gradu-
ate.
Even now one looks in vain for more
than small word of praise doled out
by the critics. Columns are written
about the SO DIST, but the accompanied,
on whose shoulders rest so per cent Of
the success or failure of n concert or
recital, scarcely a word!
Since the advent of the modern
French and Russian music, where the
voice is practically an accompaniment
to the piano part, both the critic and
public have found that this form of art
is no longer in the class of the "aso
ran"-and now, as Newman says, "the
perfect aocompanist, could we evolve
hlm-.would be very nearly our ideal
musician"
To reach this ideal necessarily re-
Quires years of patient study and work
on the part of the musician. He must
acquire as thorough a know edge as
possible of violin, cello and vocal liter
ature; he must know the style of each
composer, must hear the operas fire.
quently and have at least some knowl-
edge of English. French and Italian.
Nor must he be satisfied with the
technical side of his art. He must
grasp at one and the same time the
desire of the composer and the inter-
probation Of the soloist for whom he
plays, and then blend these with his
own ideas and version of the piece
He should not be merely Shadow
of the soloist, but have originality Of
style and be able to stamp his own con-
ceptiDn of the composition on his
hearers.
How and where is the average pianist
to acquire all this? No matter how
God given may be his talent, he needs
some one to start him on the right
track, so that valuable time may not be
lost in preparing for his work. Let us
hope that department devoted ex-
ciusively to students of accompanying
may be a feature Of the *sNational Con.
serwatory of Music and Art" now
under discussion in Congress.

Whistlers Trained
in Western School
BY Agnes Woodward

Some nine years ago very pro-
gressivr and original y0ung woman
established in Los Angeles. Cal,
novel and unique institution called the
California School Of Artistic Whis-
Ting Miss Woodward, It's founder and
director. says herself now lxlthough
with smileso, thst the undertaking YVES
discouraged by every one. Il was
thought neither practical nor feasible.
However. with the one aim in view,
she persisted until now she enjoys the
reward her efforts have accomplished.
The merit of her work and the prOxni-
nence Of the school have become
known throughout nearly every sec
tion of the United States. Among ad-
vanced pupils are many professional
whistlers who have entered the con-
cert field, are in vaudeville, or are on
Chautauqua and lyceum platforms.
and who have received gathering COM
ments on their work.
Not only is whistling tnught, but
bird limitations as we'll.
Recognizing in the human whistle q
similarity TO the bird notes, Miss
Woodward spent weeks in the noun
talns and country amid the natural
habitat of these little feathered
songsters. acquiring their many trills
and MARBLES, which she has reproduced
and adapted to musical selections
These embellishments enhance the
work and prove great delight to
audiences.
Appropriate names which she has
coined to illustrate these bird figures
are many and varied. A few are mere
given: Trills, yodels, chirps, re-
verses. hcwies whips. cries, whit-chas.
hedalas, cudalces, lup-ees, thrup-ees,
qulttas, qul,chaquias, etc kegu ar
musical embellishments are also used,
such as mordents, turns, etc. and In
addition many bird notes and figures
are> used, produced entirely by whis-
alMg certain words, for example:

quaiD, "Bob White" (the Eastern and

etc; (notes of the mocking plrdJ.
The study is most fascinating and
devotees of this unique art are not
confined alone to the young people, but
lncludee those Of more mature years.

attractions included Creatore's Band.

OF five hundred and the whistling
chorus, Miss Woodward was presented
with & gold medal "in appreciation of
her excellent services" "Scenic Amer

In spite OF it's great mission in the

ing an octave below the tenor violin,
appeared very shortly afterward.
The main characteristic Of the cello
is its long and varied register. 1t ia
capable of expressing with beautiful
tonal effect the different human voices.
In its lower register it has the rich
volume of a bass voice. On its G and
d strings it rivals the most resonant
BARITONE voice; then it produces the
1ster q light, clear soprano.
These qualities make the cello the
most popular of instruments with all
great composers.
Wagner's scores as we'll as Verdi'e
IN IN fact nearly every opera score, are
filled with solo passages for this in
strument. No other instrument is as
capable OF expressing love and ro-
nance and sorrow.
Symphonies and chamber music can
hardly be conceived without the ro-
mantle and tragic element brought
into them by the sonorous tones of
this exquisite instrument.
Unfortunately the cello is often
brought into wrong light when COM
poscrs who do not play the instru-
ment write technical exercises for it.
while the cello is capable Of great
technical display. composers often
write technical figures for it, forget
ting that the instrument has so MANY
different voice qualities and that in
quick changes in registers the instru-
ment suffers in its tonal effect as ths
strength Of the tone varies in each
register.
Thus some of the most Important
passages are covered by the orchestral
accompanlment, particularly in con-
certos. While the artist actually
plays every note in concerto the
tonal effect is lost.
In slow movements that is not the
case 1or wnlle every register is not
almost above any ACCOMPANIMENT l.
If therefore in the sustained melody
where the cello excels and rightly de-
serves the name of "lzing of instru-
ments"
But there is another characteristic
about the tone of the cello in tech
meal work, and that is the humor
;'a. 1t IS capable of expressing
feet of the perpetual motion of a snin-
nlng wheel or the dancing of fairies.
The ony weakness Of the instrn-
mtnt, therefore. is evident in fast 4
passages as IN concerto. Ncverthe- |
less, the Cello literature is rich in CON
ccItos written by the greatest masters.
a Among these are Haydn, Duport, Raft.
M q. oique, Linddncr, Davidotf, Lalo, Saint
Saens, Dvorak and D'A'hart. There ire
cello sonatas also by Mozart, Beetho
yen, CHOPIN. Menuelssohn, BRAHMS,
Rubinstein, Saint-Saens, Rachmaninoff
and many others.
The most effective writers for the
cello and those who have done most
toward It's establishment as the most
,opular CT Instruments are writer's like
oervais and Pepper. These men under
'tood the instrument to such an extent
nat, no matter how great and compli-
:ated the technical demands made in
heir works, the characteristic of the
Instrument stands out and the tonal
meet is absolutely unimpaired.
