EXPERT GIVES RESULTS
OF NOISE ON SINGERS

Singers who are not addicted 10
accurate intonation will doubtless be
all the more careful to avoid the hour
of 6 for public appearances as a re
suit OF the experiments DR.. Bachrach
has been conducting at the Physioi-
ogical Institute in Strasburg. Fortu-
nately, the customs of practically all
countries debar this hour from con-
cert schedules, though the late art
ernoon concerts run perilously close
to II.
DR.. Bachrach has been trying to de-
termine whether the sense of hearing
varies in the average person at dif'
ferent times Of the day. Many eN-
periences would indicate that 1t does,
but the special acuteness at night, for
instance, is usually explained on the
ground that the distracting noises OF
the day are then eliminated, throwing
the night noises into bolder RELIEF.
The results Of DR.. Bachrack's expert
ments go TO prove that the aural
nerves are equally responsive at cor
responding hours on different days.
ONLY at @ o'clock in the evening was
II found that there is any variation
worthy of consideration-att that hour
the sense of hearing is most acute.
AT night on the other hand. 1t is not
particularly marked-at any rate not
more so than at noon. With some
subjects examined II was found there
is an increased responsiveness early
in the forenoon, but, with others en-
actly the reverse was the case.

not so much for the commemoratlon
Of Handel as for more general pur-
poses, both musical and philanthropic,
though IL is Significant that at the
FIRST and second meetings the works
OF Handel only were performed. This
is in itself a tribute TO the genius OF
the composer and to the overwhelm-
ing supremacy OF his influence upon
English music and musicians. Al the
third festival, Purcelfs "Te Deum
and a new English oratorio, Goliath
by Atterbury, a musician-in-ordinar
to George III, were performed.
81. Cecilia Festival
A still older festival than the Bir-
mingham is that dedicated to st. Ce-
celia, the famous Roman lady who
achieved martyrdom for the Christian
faith in the second century, and who
has for long been regarded as the
tutelary saint of music. On the Con-
tinent, many years before the founda-
ton of the st. Cecilia Society OF Lon
don, in 1888, IL was customary to cele'
brate the praise OF music on Novem-
Der %, the date of her martrydom. and
in course of time musical societies
bearing her name came to be set up
in England. These festivals were
more in the nature of musical com
than OF the modern res
tiyal order, and always, in the early
wears, included an ode in praise or
music written and composed 'or the
occasion Dryden wrote his Alex
ander's Feast" expressly for one OF
these CONNIE emorations. and other IA
NOUS poets who wrote for the society
were Consreve, Addison, Sharwell,
and Pope. Many of these compost
tions were set to music by Purceii.
Blow and Handel, but they have TOO
limited an interest, and are too occa-
sional in character, to have exerteo
strong influence on the deVeiopInen.
of the modern festival which grew

BRITAIN TO REVIVE

overshadowed by Popular
Competitions" Until Great
War Began.

Now that there Is a prospect OF the
revival OF the British musical festl-
walls, IL may be worth while TO glance
at their history and say a word about
heir present importance. In recent
years, until the war put a period TO
all such activities, the genuine
mulcal festival had become to some
extent overshadowed by the popular
competitions" held annually, which
in many cases were also dubbed
festivals" says the London corre-
sbondent OF the Christian Science
Monitor. IL Is necessary TO distin-
suish between these types OF muslcal
enterprises.
Held TrfensiaIiy.
The genuine festivals, such as the
Nandel. the Birmingham the Leeds
and the Three Choirs, were held tri'
ennlally. and were musical meetings
OF the highest rank, from which the
element of competition and the award
Il prives were severely excluded. They
we're predominatly religious In
character, and existed for the pur-
rose of producing works of capital
Importance under the most favorable
conditions. Everything connected
with them was OF an exceptional
character--orchestra chorus. soloists,
conductors, were the best that could
he procured. and, most significant Of
all for many OF them specially com
Iissioned new work were brought
INTO being, and by their aid came to
