musical season. These choirs are prob
ably the oldest musical organizations
in existence in the world, having come
down in an unbroken line from the year
3l4 TO the present time. The Sistine
Choir began with twelve voices. but
has been increased from time to time
until it now numbers thirty The
other cnoirs from which the Vatican
Choirs which will sing in this country
are recruited. also date back hundreds
of years. The soprano and contrnto
parts are sung by boys. and among them
is said to he the finest boy soprano in
the world.
One of the most interesting features
of this concert will be the opportunity
TO hear Catholic polyphonic music
rendered by singers VINO are saturated
in its traditions and skilled in its prac.
ticc. 1t is not likely that in concert
hall they will bc likely TO produce the
tremendous emotional effects with the
'Misercrc,' should they elect TO sing
it. that so astounded Mozart and Men
delssohn when those great composers
heard the choirs sing in their own
chapes in the Vatican, because
religious music performed elsewhere
than in church almost always loses
something of its atmosphere. But it
will be interesting to hear palcstrina
sung in the real Italian style without
accompaniment.

TNIIE Society for the Publication Of
i American Music has announced that
lt viii receive for judging any compost E
tions OF American composers. and that
some of the best of these will be pub
hshed at the expense of the society.
Composers have until November 10 to
send in works.
The society, which Is founded upon
tho plan of the Society of British Com
| posers, is destined to do fine work
Tor the American composer If the mcm
bership is large enough to enable it to
carry out the plans which it has in
mind. The publication of his music is
one thing that it is always difficult for
young composer to achieve It costs
money 10 bring il out, and where the
sale is doubtful the music publisher
naturally hesitates to take the financial
responsibility of putting the work on
the market, for music publishers are
human, at least to the extent that they
don't like TO lose money, although some
composers deny them any attribute
whatever of humanity.
The result of this policy undoubtedly
is that every year some fine compost :
tions are denied publication. This con p
dition the society intends to remedy to
the extent of its ability. and its ability
will depend entirely upon how much
the musicians support it with their
memberships. II is most worthy
movement and should be heartily sup
ported by musicians interested in the
furtherance of American music
At that publishers are not always in.
fallible, as witness two of the largest
German publishing firms rejecting the
music of Brahms and Tschaikowsky
out of which later the firms of Simrock
of Berlin. and .Jourgensen, of Moscow
made huge fortunes. There have been
almost as many cases of music publish
crs failing down" as there have been
of publishing firms rejecting books which
afterwnrd appeared in the "six best
sellers"
The society does not intend to get
the works out under their own imprint.
but to guarantee some publisher a sum
which will protect him against loss and
have him bring out the composition and
add it to his catalogue. The results of
the society's first year, musical. as well
ms financial, will be watched with great
interest,

thirty really important concerts to the

MI ~ SlohoWShl has plunged deep
Na into the favoritcs Of concert goers
IN his first program, it having on If no
fewer than three orchestral numbers,
any one of which is usually sure to fill
the house. These are the "Oberon"
/ overture. three numbers from Mcndels-
sohn's Midsummer Nights Dream
and no less n symphonic representative
than the mighty Fifth lin c miuorC of
Beethoven.
This symphony has probably been
more talked about than any other com
position in the literature of music with
the possible exception of the "Moon-
light Sonata" and there has been Il
continual attempt for more than 100
years TO find the so called meaning"
which the composer is supposed to have
concealed somewhere in the work.
AS a matter of fact. there is not the
slightest reason TO believe that Beetho-
ven Intended it for anything more than
piece of absolute music. The similc
of Fate knocking at the door" as ex-
pressed in the first four notes of the
first movement is one of the most popu-
lar of these Interpretations aud vet
we know for certainty that Beethoven
acted in a most unSccmly manner to
his friend, Ferdinand Ries. when that
unlucky Tcutou suggested this idea to
the composer, even going so far as to
chase his friend out of his rooms. We
know it because Ries himself told it
in letter, pathetic or humorous, Just
as You are inclined to view il.
The universal apreaf of the Fifth
| Symphony lies in its perfect 60 ordi-
nation of musical ideas and the strongly
contrasted emotional content of the va
I rious movements AS much as in the
beauty of the themes themselves and
| their development. Music like this
needs no search after 'hidden mean
/ ings' to amplify its beauty. 1t is eter-
/ nal because it expresses emotions which
/ are always present in the soul of every
! human being, in a form so clear and so
I apparent that they are recognized con
sciously or unconsciousIy by every
| hcarcr.
In the mass Of tradition based more
or less upon fact, usually less, that in
/ time surrounds every great composer.
especially If he be n romantic figure such
as was Beethoven, such things arc
magnifed out of all proportion, as has
! been tho case in the Fifth symphony
and even more in the Moonlight Son
alta" But when composer writes
as Beethoven has in these works, the
emotions not only of his own heart but
| those of every other human being, such
things do not affect in the slightest the
/ longevity of the music upon the con-
cert platform,
