Show Philharmonic Concert Programme Excellent Ono week from today at the Empress theater tho Salt Lako Philharmonic or. I ebestra .will be heard, under the dircc-! dircc-! lion of Arthur Podcrsen Prober, in its second symphony concert of the season. Roth the character of the programme ami the splendid work during tho recent re-cent rehearsals insure tho artistic success suc-cess of the event, which in importance j from a musical standpoint overshadows , others cf tho month. Miss Edna Cohn, contralto, has been secured 'as soloist and will sinjr "Delilah's Love Soup." from Saint Sacu "s 'Samson and Delilah." De-lilah." Tho programme will be opened with Beethoven's third symphony, "Eroica," in four movoments. Beethovon wrote the symphony in honor of Bonaparte, then toro tho title off the still unpublished unpub-lished work when the consul declared I himself emperor, and brought it out under the title "TSroica.", Many commentators com-mentators upon this classic havo held that they wero obliged to view each of the four movements as an act in thn drama of a inilitarv here's life, but as tar back as 1S52 Wagner explains thnt we should accept the word "hero'" to mean the personification of all truly virile vi-rile attributes and to look for tho content con-tent of the work in "the manifold and . powerfully interpretative emotions of a ftrong and perfect individuality thnt is no el ranger to any human feeling, but. n tho contrary, combines in itself all trnh human qualities." Mendelssohn s "Fingal's Cave" overture over-ture will form another feature of tho programme. Of this classic an eminent critic has said: "For more than three quarters of a century this exquisite overture has held a place in tho admiration admi-ration of laymen and professional mu-icians mu-icians alilco. second to none iu the realm of music which is desigued to be iic&eriptive of natural scenes, or, to use Beethoven's phrase, of the feelings nnnsod by the contemplation of such "enes.

Salt Lake Singers May Win Prize That Salt Lake City may yet send a chorus to compote in the great international interna-tional exposition eisteddfod to bo hold iu San Francisco, August i-G. 1915, is probable if umingcmonts now in embryonic embry-onic stage can be successfully completed. com-pleted. Some misunderstanding exists and many complications have arisen duo to the fact that tho Ogden tabernacle choir will go to tho Panama-Pacific exposition, ex-position, yet, the eisteddfod is entirely separate aud apart from the exposition, and is held in San Francisco at the time of the "big show' merelv bc-causo bc-causo the time and tho place will attract at-tract many from all parts of the civilized civi-lized world. For this eisteddfod the promoters intend in-tend to offer $25,000 in prizes, with a single cash prize of .10,000 for the winning choir in tho big choral contest, the largest cash prize ever offered to any body of singers. It. is hold that to warrant the outlay of this large sum the competing choirs or ohorusc3 must be those of world-wide fame. Hence it is that the success or failure of the plan is hold to depend upon tho securing of the famous choir of Toronto, Canada, ono "Welsh chorus from acrotss the water, the Scranton Ohoral society and a representation from thp Mormon taboruacle choir. E. IT. Peircc. business manager of the Salt Lake Choral society, who hha recently returned from San Francisco, where no took tho matter up -with tho eisteddfod management, stated the ques-tiou ques-tiou succinctly last night, saying: It. simply amounts to Ibis: It' wo go into this contest we ontor into competition with the host choirs of tho world. L believe that if -wo pick our best talent Salt Lake City can win the $10,000 prizo. But tho selection of singors should not bo confined exclusively to tho tabernacle taberna-cle choir, although' tho eisteddfod promoters insist upon being able to advertise tho famous Mormon tab- ernacle choir as ono of thoir chiof attract ions. The cream of tho choral society, tho tabernaclo choir, the Orpheus club and tho Utah university chorus should bo solccfed lo make up the 1H0 Utah singers who will ontor the contest, tho number having been reduced in this point; in order not to render expense prohibitive to choirs that must travel a long distance.

I Michigan Musicians I of Talent Are Coming When tho University of Michigan Glee and Mandolin clubs wero making their Pacific coast tour last year combined com-bined concerts wore given with the mueical mu-eical clubs representing the Universities Universi-ties of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Tho aifairK wero held in Minneapolis and Madjson, respectively, and .both drew packed houses. Tho versatile Michigan cluos are scheduled for tho Garrick theater the-ater on Saturday night, April 11. Tho Minnosota concort was arranged in an unusual way. On tho trip out" to the coast tho Michigan clubs stopped off in Minneapolis to perform before tho alumni in that city. While there they were invited to give a part of their varied programme before the University of Minnesota students, assembled in chapel. This thay did, and the Wolver-ino Wolver-ino organization mado such a hit that a return engagement was called for. As a result nrrangoinents wero mado for a big combined concert on the return trip, and for this affair tho Minnosota students turned out in sufficient num-, bers to fill the mammoth gymnasium. At tho concert in this city 'the entire programme presented on 'last year'B record-breaking tour, togethor witn new foatures, -will bo given, according to j tho ropertoiro announced. Tho different collogo men of tho city nro taking an activo interest in tho visit of tho boys from Michigan, and many reservations have boon mado.

', Declares English Is Easy to Sing Tho chief argument of those who are wont to discuss tho feasibility of grand opera in English is that tho English langungo is not singable. I contend tho latter is wholly untrue. It is oither an illusion, pure and simple, sim-ple, on tho part of thoso who' havo bocomo uccuatomod to hear grand opera in the original, or olso the contention con-tention of tho music snob. You may not bo aware, porhaps, that tho music snob exists; if so, lot mo introduco you to this species a typo to bo mot with evorywherc. Usually it is tho "par-venu" "par-venu" who encourages tho noble art becauso it is the lushiou. He very soldom disagrees with you, and alwavs agrees with the thing in vogue. Vou meet him coming out after a. premiere of some now opera and say to him: "Woll, what do you think of tho new opera; isn't it lovely?" Immediately ho rotorts with a flood of adjectives: "Why. 1 think it's simply grand, gor- goous, wonderful; indeed it was a great I treat: I on.joyed it ever so much." Tie proceeds a little farther and meets another an-other friend, who iu turn says to him: "Well, well, don't vou think this new opera is horrid?" Instantly ho grabu him by the hand and replies: ''.I should say so: why, if was dreadful; j T was bored to death all night." Thcu thero is tho scholarly music snob, who nearly always disagrees with you and is over ready to engage you in controversy in order to show you how much ho knows (reaUj-, how littlo he knows) about grand opora. I ro-member ro-member some years ago witnessing a performance of ,fOavalleria usticana" m "English by the Carl l?osa Opera company com-pany at Manchester, England. Suro enough, ono of these connoisseurs sat in the next seat to me, annoying everybody every-body around him all night by his trying try-ing to extol the beauty of the Italian language, how ridiculous it sounds in English, and. Oh. you don't know what I yon miss! Finally T turned to him and asked: "Will you kindly tell me. sir what is the meaning of Cavalloria litis-ticann. litis-ticann. ' ) Tic turned red in the face, and stammered stam-mered a few inaudible' syllables to the effect that ho would explain between the acts, lie soon afterward disappeared, disap-peared, and peace was thus restored. Therefore it is obvious that tho snob cannot be considered a real opponent to grand opera in English, hence wo will onlv deal with the real musician or music lover who claims that English is not a singable language. T am convinced con-vinced that this idea is prevalent among them (though their number is constantly decreasing) through sheer force of habit. Let me illustrate this point: T am French and havo all my life listened to French opera in tho original. Whenever T hear a French opera in Italian it. grates on my oar. Wh3" Force of habit. You observe closely the next time vou hear an opora in V. n rt I i cli tlm.f vnn )invr -novel lizard before in tho original. 3-011 will find that there is nothing out of place, providing pro-viding the diction of tho singer ia pure. The art of diction has hitherto boon pitifully neglected, and yet it is the greatest help to perfect and ai-siuging. ai-siuging. Tou otter hear peoplo say, "Tt does not matte" fo mo in what language lan-guage an opera is suncr. as T never understand a word." Thi3 statement is greatly exaggerated, for wo havo all sat either at tho opera or at a concert con-cert listening attentively for a few minutes to a singer, eager to find out what languago is being sung. Alternately Alter-nately wo think that wo hear Italian, German. English, when all at once two or threo words well pronounced make us exclaim with real joy and relief, "Oh, it is in Ttalian." or "ft. 13 in l-Yoncb." Then we listen with mora iuterost to follow the artist. If a few words aro well articulated, thero is no reason why all of them could not be dono equally wen. Of course, nothing can be acquired without work, without an effort.. -But I claim that a perfect pronunciation in oither French or English requires only a few mouths of intelligent work, and a faithful daily practicing of muscular exercises, ae pianists havo to practice scales for their fingers. Any studen of average intelligence can pronounce oxaetlj- like a native, and a native who sings his own languago perfectly is not a common thing, either. A beautiful organ is not tho gift of every singer, but a perfoct diction is within tho roach of ovcryone, and helps to make up for the lack of beaut' in the voice. The chann is thon in tho perfect ennnciation which is, unfortunate, unfortu-nate, too rare. Tt may bo surprising to some that tho study of dictiou in Fronch, German or Italian will help you in your English Eng-lish enuueiation and will improve your speaking voice greatly. It is tho singing sing-ing teachers' duty to urge their pupils to make a spocial study of diction in the languages from which thoy choose their repertoire, 'and particularly in English. Mmo.

Really Pure Music Is Most Lasting In a recent review of a performance of a Mo'art Symphony In Now York, "Mr. Aldrlch of thu New York Times writes; P-ucli music, existing for Itself solely as music, as the expression of Ideas purely musical, without "arrlero pen-pee" pen-pee" of "meaning," literary, - poetical, poeti-cal, pictorial, symbolical, or any other, seemed lo possess all Ita old magic, to have lost none of It ...

Musical Club Has Important Mission ( A cplondld paper. . dealing with the scope and function of tho amatour musical musi-cal club, discussing tho big question from a broad and unbiased viewpoint, was prepared pre-pared by Mrs. Adolf Frey of Syracuse N. Y first vlcn president of tho National Nation-al Federation of Musical clubs, and read by Mn. A. H. Pcabody. president of the music section of tho ladles' Literary club of Salt Lake at tho htot meeting of that organisation. Mrs. Froy's paper In so clear and copclso as to rectuiro nelthor analysis nor comment. It followa: WIdo is tho ocopo of work undertaken under-taken by tho varlouB musical cluba in our country, and tho mission of each is of great Importance, So much can be dono In tho world of music not only to deepen our own love and- appreciation of music, but also to help bring good music Into t)ie starved lives to which It would mean so muc'.i. To clvo happiness can be as great a c.liartty as to glvo food and clothing, and to Inspire with a generous purpose and mission, thoso who have the musical glt'la ifl certainly cer-tainly worth while. The Individual musical clubs of women arc of great value to 'the art life of our country, and hence to Its hist clvlllzatlonllie results nro far-rcaohlng. What Is th'; object of the amateur musical club? First, the development of f.ie musical lulcnl of its members; second, tho promotion of the musical Interests of the community. The first of these objects Is always scrupulous-lv scrupulous-lv cared for, and as a result the standard of amatour music is astonishingly aston-ishingly high In all parts of America. Tho second is seldom paid any at- tention to, and ns a consequence we I rurcly find an amatcr musical club furthering as a society any musical Interests but Its own. , . , . The Ideal club develops tho talent and promotes the i-ulturo or its members, mem-bers, but It also ought to be a bul-" bul-" wark and corner stone of every worthy artistic enterprise In its city. As the amateur becomes wore and more cultivated, s'.ie cares less for the music she can make herself, and more and more for the true art llfo of the community. In order, therefore, to hold her interest and secure her continued co-operation In Its work, the club must aRord her both the over-wldonlnir Held of study and the opportunity to do her share not only In promoting the amateur, but also the art interests of iicr city, be It large or small. . . Some clubs nr strictly study clubstaking un the literature of music and making a systematic study. Often these are a 3cctlnn of a literary club, and their beneficent Influence ts strongly felt, in the study of htcher class of works in llteraturo as well as In music, and the hunger to havo better cntortaInment3 and programmes Many aro choral clubs, starting from small beginnings and finally successfully established. Otlicra maintain a tine amalcur orchestra or-chestra and chorus, which together produce beautiful and ineplring com-, com-, positions that otherwise could never bo given. Good string orchestras are not Impossible in many of tne smaller small-er townB. This work requires larger patience and skill than the giving of recitals or the arranging of tho ordi nary club programme, out 11 is inr more -worth while. ... , , Some clubs place valuable musical compositions and books about music in the public library of their town, subject to' the regulations of that institution. in-stitution. The more wo havo of books which teach tho layman to know the spirit of art, books which teach men and women not how to plav an Instrument or to sing, but how to listen and comprehend, tho greater will finally be the standard ! of our artists. There are few clubs that afford nn extensive collection of good music and books, and by placing them In the public libraries are able to disommlnat cood musical literature litera-ture to the club membor ns well as to tho outsider. Recently tho clubs are arousing Interest In-terest in the music In our public schools." Undoubtedly the musical future fu-ture of America, depends largely upon the sort of work dono In our public schools. Standing committees havo been appointed to thoroughly investigate investi-gate this work with a view to the betterment of existing conditions in their vicinity. There aro many supervisors su-pervisors and teachers who aro glad to havo the assistance and Jiolp of earnest, honest and Intelligent club workers. Rome clubs have found it most desirable de-sirable to appoint a committee to arrange ar-range for providing suitable music at slated Intervals at the .hospitals and various charitable Institutions. f-Iomo study circles or studio talks aro formed everywhere, nnd subjects per- ' talnlng to music and its advancement aro dlsaussod. Then there is tho subject of church and Sunday school music, which is of Importanco to all club3 for consideration. Conditions vary in different towns and cities. Wtfiat would bo admirable in ono would not bo advlsahlo In another, and yet I think If every musical club had a commltteo appointed to consider what might be dono in thoir particular town or city toward making bright the lives of their townspcoplo by making music possible for them, opportunities op-portunities would arise and tho way be mado plain. Tho existence of such a committee would keep the club healthily allvo and active, and wo would not hear of tho lack of Interest In the members.

" It will be performed for th"b first time in Paris on May 14 or 15 by the Russian ballet dancers. Portions of tho work aro now being printed. Its plan will probably bo subjocted to considerable con-siderable modification in the course of rehearsal nnd after discussion with M. Diagileff, director of tho Russian ballot. bal-lot. Tho text is tho joint work of Horr Hugo von Hoffmunathal, author of "Ariadne" "Auf Naxos," "Elektra" and "Der Rosenkavaher," and Herr Richard Strauss 's now literary ally, Count Harry Kessler. Count Kesslor has, it is understood, dono tho bulk of the work. He drew his inspiration from tho picture, "Joseph's Modesty," iu tho Louvro. Tho plot is roughly that of tho Biblical Btory, with tho. difference that Joseph is rescued by an angel from tho prison and tortnros to which ho is doomed by the treachery of his mistress, and that Potiphnr's, wife strangles herself.
