Sponsored by Schools.
Through the efforts of the Ke-
Nash-A club, the Dasch orchestra is
Incorporating with the Kenosha pub
lie schools in music memory contest,
to eliminate at the third concert, in
April. The contest is one which has
held the interest of the children all
season, and elaborate preparations
have been made in music appreciation.
The concert in April will comprise
sketches from forty-one selections
which have been studied by the chill
dren under the direction Of Miss Edna
Cameron, music supervisor. At a pre-
vious children's concert given in No
vember, several of the selections to
be used in the contest were played
to famiiiarize the children with them,
and at the concert next Wednesday. an
additional number of the selections
will be given.
Interesting Children's Program.
The numbers which. the orchestra
will play in connection with the mu-
sic-memory contest are as follows:
Andante Cantabile, from String Quar-
tette, by Tschaikowsky, Dancing Doll,
by Poldini, Allegro Motto from G. Min
or Symphony by Mozart, Nocturne
from Midsummer Nights Dream, by
Mendelssohn, Bolero in D. Major, by
Moszkowski, and Triumphal Entry of
the Bojars by Halvorsen.
The Andante Cantabile is the second
movement of the first String Quar-
ttette, taken from folk song of Rus
STA. The story goes, that the COM
poser heard plasterer singing as he
worked beneath his window. The song
haunted the musician all night, and the
next morning he sought out the plas-
terer and wrote the melody of the
song. This is the theme of the An
dante. The Dancing Doll is a clever
imitation of dancing doll, originated
for the piano, but recently arranged
for the orchestra or the violin.
The G. Minor Symphony which is one
of the loveliest of symphonies, was
written in ten days. In the Allegro
Motto, the first theme begins at once,
without any introduction. The theme
is given by violins, with the accom-
paniment of violas. Schubert once
said of it, ''You can hear the angels
singing in it." The Nocturne from
the Midsummer Nights Dream, is in
cidental music played between the
third and fourth act of Mendelssohn's
opera. The opening theme is one of
the most beautiful uses Of the Frenchl
horn. The harmony is exquisitely fur
nished by the cellos and the bassons.
The coda ending is a charming bit of
writing here given to two flutes.
Tickets for the children's concert are
obtainable at the schools, from the
teachers, and the children are urged
to make their arrangements as soon as
possible, so that a fairly accurate es-
innate may be made of the number of
attendants sat the program. Tickets
for the, evening may be bought at the
Rhode Opera house starting January 7.
