Wally." which enjoyed much favor
among youthful readers in Germany
half century ago, the former on the
old Rhenish legend which tells of how
a maiden who had been deceived by
her lover drowned herself in the Rhine
and was transformed into a siren who
inhabited rock near St. Goar and
with the magic of her song lured
fishermen to observation-disclosures a
Teutonic variant of the ancient Greek
myth about Scylla. The legend had
figured in operate history before
Catalani employed it. 1t is the story
on which Wallacc's opera "Lurlinc,"
which had its production in London in
1860, was based. Before then Emanuel
Geibel had turned it into an opera
book which the fastidous Mendels-
sohn found sufficiently to his liking
to begin work upon it. He lived only
to finish the composition of the finale
of the first act, an Gave Maria" for
soprano solo and chorus of women's
voices, and chorus of vintagers for
men. The finale has figured in con-
certs in Germany and England and
possibly in America. Max Bruch also
composed a "Lorelci' opera, though he
rejected Geibel's libretto, which was
taken as the framework for the book
fashioned by Catalani's collaboration.
The Italian librcttist followed Gel
beps first act quite closely, introduce
ing the chorus Of spirits of the Rhine
which promise revenge to the wronged
maiden, which was the part which re-
ceived n setting at the hands of Men
de!ssohn, and also a scene In which
the siren interrupts tho wedding of
her faithlcss lover by her song OF be-
witchmcnt The modern opera, how
ever, knows nothing of what Geibcl,
no doubt, considered the eliminating
sccno of his dramn--n trial for sorcery

Maycncc and the entire ecclesiastical
court. IT. does not appear that Mcndels-
sohn, who searched long years in
vain for an opera book to his liking.
was altogether satisfied with Gcibc's
librctto, though he began work upon

in Switzerland in August, 1847, gives
an interesting account of the COM
poser's talk on operate projects. "The
time has come when I must try what
l can do" he said: "after I have writ
ten four or five operas perhaps l shall
make something good" He expressed
disgust at a perversion of Shake
speares Tempest" made by Scribe
which had been associated without
authority with his name in London,
spoke husiastically of a possible
"Winter's Tale" and deplored the lack
of good librettists in Germany "Well,"
he remarked finally, 81 must do my
best with Loreley,' for Geibel has
taken great trouble with the poem.
We shall see." Then he put his hand
to his head, broke off suddenly and
added: "But what is the use of plan
ming anything? l shall not livc!" He
died on November 4 of the same year
There is nothing in the music which
he composed for Geibels libretto to
indicate that the opera would have
been dramatic enough to keep the
stage.
Catalani's music, composed when the
young composers Of Italy under Wag-
ner's influence were tumblng over
each other in their desire to be truth
full and realistic, is admirable for its
wealth of melody and many ingenious
touches Of dramatic verify It's second
act shows a superabundance of pa
geantry which is also somewhat blatant.
but so little justice was done its mise
en-scene and so little respect was
shown to the ingenutes and beauties
of its score that an honest mind must
hesitate to pass judgment upon it,
Certain it is that it stood out nobly
against its French associates.
