evening, June IS, at $50 o'clock.
Events of Music week of interest; to
both educational and musical circles
must include the recital given We'd
nesday evening at Trinity College by
Miss Regina Curley of Boston. The
young artist, who will receive her b.
A. degree tomorrow from Trinity Col
lege, displayed natural gifts and mu-
sical attainments that can hardly fail
to bring her distinction should she
elect to enter professional fields. Her
most pronounced success was in the
numbers calling for bravura playing,
such as the Liszt sixth Hungarian
Rhapsody" and the Schutt paraphrase
she rendered with great brilliancy and
freedom. Quite in contrast with these
numbers was the "B Minor Prelude"
of Chopin. to which she lent a fine
singing tone and much sentiment. She
played also Beethoven's Sonata, Op.
81, No. o.: "Scherzo, Op. S. by
Brahms; ''Etude. op. 25. No. 8" by
Chopin; Rubinstein's "Staccato Etude''
and Moskowski's La Jongleuse."

showed preference for the old classics
of Europe, Buck gave marvellous
musical embroidery to exquisite
things by American writer's. He
favored particularly the works Of
Lanier, Stedman. Longfellow and
Washington Irving. Among Amer
lean literature which he has set to
music are: THE Legend of Don

Nidaros"; cantata, THE Voyage of
Columbus, and his Golden Legend"
This last composition won the $1,000
prize at the Cincinnati festival.
His largest work was THE Light
of Asia" composed in 1885 and based
upon Sir Edwin Arnolds epic poem.
His symphonic overture, rMarmion," !"
is one OF his most popular works.
His latest compositions included 1.-THE
Christian Year and ''Deseret," the
latter being a comic opera.
Mr.. Buck also wrote much chamber
