Thomas Lovette's Music.

a COMPOSER known and admired in
"A Washington, the late Thomas S.
Lovette, was represented in recital
composed entirely of his works, many
in manuscript, arranged by Eva Whit
ford Lovette-Lowe and given at Pierce
Hall the past week, In the music salon
OF the International Association of Art
and Letters. Thomas Lovette was
Welshman, and though he had the cul-
ture Of study In Germany, where he
won a five-year scholarship at the
Leipzig Conservatory, and long resi-
dence in this country, his music bears
the unrnistakable imprint of his native
land and of England, his near neighbor.
Lovette belongs to the romantic
school OF composers, though he has
excelled in the realm of sacred music.
A chorale and baritone solo from his
sacred cal1tata Gods Kingdom" were
in the mold of a Handel. with dignity
OF defamation and always nice use
Of the voice. Melody belongs pre-
eminently to him, even In the sacred
works, melody that is never trite. One
finds it ringing out like an aria in the
right hand Of piano ''Nocturne," with
a rhythmic compelling figure in the
left, making it a notable work that
Henry S. Gregor played with warmth
and a forceful gradual climax.
In his songs one found a folklore
spirit Of Wales. They held pathos, or
again a ballad quality akin to the Irish.
Then there was the art song, among
which a monotone, 1.-THE Close Of Day"
was significant for its color and mood
as sung by Eva Whitford Lovette.
''Throne 9. Love" was yet another
sacred work that was vital and alive.
one might offer Tibbett the singing Of
his 1.-THE Reaper" from poem OF Long
fellow, which combined q grim reality
with a lyric mood that should make it
useful to a dramatic baritone.
One work for violin "Un Petite Ro-
NAME" played most sympatheti cally by
Mrs. Louis Robertson, was well adapted
to the instrument, with depth Of tone,
good form, and an enticing touch OF
Spain at the close. An adaptation for
chorus of "All Through the Night,
built upon running figure that was
original, seemed markedly vital. The
music had the added merit Of excellent
backgrounds, for IL was written by an
artist pianist, who had been acclaimed
for his playing with orchestra, and who
held honors from the Royal Academy
Of Music In London. MacB.

Berlin Announces Drama
And Music Festivals

I Asst year the City of Berlin arranged
for the first time musical festivals,
which were part of the seasons program
and which proved successful in appeal
to foreign visitors. especially Americans.
1t has been decided that these festivals
shall be repeated this coming Summer
The states theater in Berlin announces
that they will be held from May % to
June 16.
While last years festivals intended to
give survey OF foreign music, espe-
cially Italian operas which were per-
formed under the direction Of Arturo
ToScanini, the aim this season is to
give comprehensive impression of the
artistic standard of the German stage
and operas. This, however, will not
prevent foreign ensembles from appear
ing. Two concerts by the New York
Philharmonic Orchestra, under the ba-
ton of Toscanini. will be given. Lauri
Volpi. tenor Of the Metropolitan, will
be heard in Italian operas. Another
outstanding feature will be the Beetho-
ven cycle, conducted by Wilhelm Furt-
waengler, which. is scheduled for seven
performances.
Max Reinhardt will celebrate this
Summer his twenty-f1fth anniversary
as the directoy of the Deutsche Theater.
He will produce, with all the famous
members OF his cast, a number Of plays,
the openings of which are also sched-
uled for the time the musical festivals
are to be held. Included among the
novelties to be offered by the opera
houses are grand operas by Mozart,
Wagner and Richard Strauss. Details
of the repertory will be given later.
These performances will follow new
lines of production. similar to those
which we're tried in last years per-
Torrance Of Wagner's "Tannhauser."
In order to enable the majority of
Berlin's population, as well as foreign
travellers, who, most probably, will out
number last years visitors owing to the
Passion Play" In Oberammergeau, to
attend, all these performances are to
be given at comparatively low prices of
admission. This policy will be followed
by other musical productions to attract.
first of all, music fans. In the open
courtyard Of the former Imperial Pal
ace, which has a seating capacity of
5000, night serenades by the orchestra
Of the State Opera House will be rem
dered. The eagerly awaited ''saenger-
fest" or choral festivals, will take place
/ in the immense Congress Hall of the
Berlin Exhibition grounds.
The cycle Of "Kammermusik," which
was previously held in Donaueschingen
and later in Baden Baden. will be pre-
sented this Summer for the first time
in Berlin under the name Of New
MuSic-Berlin. 1890"

make her an asset to any organization.

ductor. Miss Clark Is concert pianist,

Church, and though quite young has

will be Naples and the period the early
part of the seventeenth century, as was
originally intended by the composer.

of the dominant characters in this Verdi

meet the difference in locale and period,
that the opera suffered in its presenta-
ton in setting which was so much al
variance with the original intention of
the composer.
The principal roles will be sung by
Blanca Saroya,, Faina Petrova, John
Charles Thomas, Alexandra Kourganoff
and Ivan Steschenko. Others In the
cast will be Henrietta Horle, Beniamino
