THIRTIETH tFINAL) ARTICLE.
Review of the Last Four Selections.

The cOmposers.-Our final four selec-
tons are the products, respectively, of
the American black folk; of a German
the waltz king and the father of the
operetta Pole, the poet of the piano
both as performer and composer; and
the worlds leading composer of oratorio
born a German but by life, style, and
citizenship an Englishman.
The cOmpOsitions.-There are two re-
ligious songs and two dances. Between
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. a simple song
almost unconsciously produced by group
of people, and the Hallelujah Chorus,
the consummate work of a skilled com
poser, there is all the difference between
the beginning and the end of a series.
The two dances likewise are of decidedly
different types; the tender, rapturous
swaying waltz and the vigorous. martial.
straightforward polonaise. In all of the
four numbers there is considerable repe-
tition which serves to unity and bind to-
gether each composition. The waltz has
less unity than the others because 1T is
merely a series of melodies. However,
