Tsianina Club

The Tsianina Club held its
regular meeting at three O'Clock
on last Wednesday afternoon
with Mrs. Porter Davis. In the
absence of the President the
Director of the Chorus, Mrs.
Dewitt Morgan, presided over
the meeting.
The Secretary, Miss Margaret
Smith, called the roll to which
each member responded with a
musical current event, then read
the minutes of the previous
meeting.
After the usual order of bust
ness was concluded much time
WAS devoted to the Department
of Study. This part of the after
Moons program was begun by
the study of Henry X. Hadley's
new opera "Azora". Therefore
since opera was the chief topic
under discussion, Miss Ward
gave description and definition
of opera in general. Mrs. Lyon
gave q brief outline of the opera
at hand, taking up the story of
Azora", and also the names Of
the cast. This brought about
the biographical sketch Of the
life of the composer himself,
that was interestingly told by
Mrs. Davis. Since the setting
of "Azora" was in the land of
the Aztecs, Miss Smith gave a
description of the AztecS and
showed how the opera itself was
connected with history. Mrs.
Mcdonnell told of the reign of
Montezuma. At the close Of the
subject of the opera, the bio
graphical sketches of the follow
ing composers, in the Club Study
Book, were given and included
Horatio Parker, James Rogers
and Louis Victor Saar.
A part of the program was
spent in Choral work and study.
There being no further business
it was moved and seconded that
the club adjourn to meet again
in two weeks with Mrs. Daven-
port.
