Mrs. Grace Bonner Williams is one of New England's younger sopranos and is deservedly becoming one of the most popular concert singers of the day. Her home is in Taunton, Mass., but for some years she has been the soprano of the Arling¬ ton St. Church quartet in Boston, which holds the reputation of being the best in New England. This year Mrs. Williams has been urged to go to New York as soloist of one of their leading churches, but she preferred to make no change. Mrs. Williams has a sweet, well-trained voice which combined with really artistic singing, charming manners and an attractive personality win her return engagements wherever she goes. Mr. John Young, Tenor, of New York, who made such a pronounced success at the Festival last year, is received with favor wherever he appears, and is in great demand throughout the coun¬ try. During the past season he has appeared with many of the well-known organizations of this country, and only this month has sung at Raleigh, and at the Macon, Georgia, Festival. His corn¬ ing again to Winston-Salem is looked forward to with much interest by all who have had the pleasure of hearing him. Mr. Frederic Martin, Bass, of New York, is by many consided to be the finest exponent of the bass solos of the “Mes¬ siah “ in the country. He is knowm everywhcn-e as a fine oratorio and recital singer, and the best critics of the day universally com¬ mend bis fine voice and thoroughly artistic musical interpretations. 9 PROGRAM NOTES. The “ MESSIAH ” was first given in Dublin, Ireland, in 1742, and the proceeds of the performance were devoted to charity. The text was selected from the Scriptures by Charles Jermens, and is divided into three parts': Part I—The Prophecies and Their Fulfillment, Part 2—The Passion and the Triumph. Part 3—The Resurrection and the Glory. George Frederick Handel, the composer of the “Mes¬ siah,” was born in Halle, Germany, Feb. 23, 1685. He was educated in Germany and Italy, but made his home in London in 1710, remain¬ ing there for the rest of his life. From 1710 to 1741 he was busily engaged in writing secular mwsic ; after this he devoted himself to oratorios, ‘ ‘ a branch of art in which he has never had a rival. ’ ’ The “Messiah” is the tenth in the list of his oratorios. “ It is an illustration of his almost superhuman capacity for work that at the age of 56 years he should have written his masterpiece in 23 days, ’ ’ “ GALLIA ” is a motet into which the composer put the strong feeling of chastened hope of his nation, following the Franco- Prussian War. The great soprano solo is a universal favorite wher¬ ever sung. No such composition of equal merit has been more widely sung or more deservedly popular. Edward MacDowell, who has been universally recognized as America’s greatest composer, was born in New York in 1861, and died in that city Jan, 23, 1908. The untimely passing away of this rarely gifted musician is everywhere lamented, and it is witn the deepest respect to the memory of Mr, Shirley’s beloved teacher and friend that he will play the SECOND CONCERTO for pianoforte at the Festival. Mendelssohn’s music to the “Midsummer Night’s Dream’ was written in 1843 at the request of the King of Prussia. The NOTTURNO is placed at the end of the third act when Titama asks for “ Music, ho ! music such as charmeth sleep.” The WED¬ DING MARCH precedes the last act, wherein are celebrated the three-fold nuptials of Theseus and Hippolyte, Lysander and Hermia, Demetrius and Helena. 10 The opera of “Aida” was written by Verdi at the special command of the Khediv-e of Egypt, and is one of the few instances of a real success under such circumstances. The scenes are Egyp¬ tian and the coloring of the music strongly oriental. Grieg’s orchestral suite from “PEER GYNT ” contains selections from the music written for the stage performance of Ibsen’s play. No. 1, “ Morning” is chiefly composed in a pas¬ toral strain.' No. 2, “The Death of Ase,” depicts Peer Gynt, lost in thought, following the flight of his wild fancy as he is seated at the bedside of his dying mother, unconscious of her approaching death. In No. 3, Anitra’s Dance,” the scene of action is in the Orient, and No. 4, “ In the Hall of the Mountain King,” describes the moment when the imps commence their wild chase after Peer Gynt, whose nightly peregrinations have led him into the subterranean realms of the mountain king. In Grieg’s death, on September 4, 1907, Scandinavia lost her greatest composer. His works are not only beautiful and well written but have the real Northern flavor, and form an important contribution to the musical compositions of to-day. The QUARTET from “ Rigoletto ” is one of the favorite opera excerpts that pleases whenever heard. “Rigoletto” is one of Verdi’s earlier operas, and it was not until twenty years later with “Aida” that he reached the same height. “ Lucia” long stood as Donizetti’s masterpiece. The libret¬ to by Commanaro is founded on Scott’s novel, “ The Bride of Lam- mermoor.” Donizetti was born in l79,3 5 " to'*’ ^ c .f i'. ft ■' 5 1,'r - ^ ».^ ‘^fea, -ri ’£'• ftfe ^ i^x. ^'»‘" A -s^ r-^1 2® ■!> J —»rft.l»<-;.ii^.-ft-~. w- > .'l'.' ■.T^'.'i'i ^'.,: v-r.'. ^ ^ ^ -r #• ^ ’"•ti j- V>* Y** Y ’^V»' '?"
