LAMBERT MURPHY IN SONGS.

Lambert Murphy chose to. open his song
recital yesterday afternoon In Aeoiian
Hall with two songs by Francis Hopkinson,
first American composer Besides being a
signer of the Declaration of independence
and a member Of the Constitutional Con-
vention Of 1887 and the friend of Wash
ington and jefferson, Hopkinson has
pooved to be n musician Of no mean worth.
His works recently unearthed stand the
test of modern criticism. These two songs,
"My Days Have Been SO Wondrous Free
and my Generous Heart Disdains, just
rediscevered, had merely the figured bass
for harpsfchord. 1t was necessary to write
Accomplishments for them, which Harold
Milligan. the editor. has done with much
success Both songs are typical or the
courtly social colonial life when all men
were brave, gallants and all ladies fair.
The songs trip along right merrily with
pleasing melody and jolly rhythm. They
sounded well, too. because Of Mr.. Murphy 8
fine singing in which exact enunciation
and careful phras;ng were not the least OF
points to be commended.
In Bragar's Recitative and Romanza
from Reginella. Mr.. Murphy's dramatic
power made itself felt. The poignant mood
was well sustained and rever did 1t lack
fine sin cerity, although 1t would have
been the easiest thing in the world to make
this reek with sentimentalty.
Mr.. Murphy was in good voice. Its
quality is not 80 sweet as one would like
in tenor. There is sometimes notice
able yibrato but in the main his tones are
firmly produced and powerful
