HEAR PAPER 0N OPERA

Interesting Address By Mrs. K. S. lTog- ers At Meeting On Saturday.

I'm- their meeting of March 14th the Woman's Music Club branched out into the field oi opera; judging by the enthusiastic response o1 the associate members, with undqubt. od success.

The entire programme-tho pap- fll‘ by MYS- K- S. Rogers, the solo parts, duets. quartets and choruses —~was beautifully done and showed ths flawless result of a winter's hard work- Great credit is duo Mrs. Full as director and accompanist. Mrs. Rogers gave a resume of Opera in general. and a. synopsis of "l9 118M Opera "Martha." songs and choruses of which made up the musical part of tho programme,- The Story 0f opera is the most in- teresting and a ‘ic subject; w“. ncotcd with musical history. Opera is a distinct form which has sv- olved lrom tho earliest times when the Greeks used music to heighten the atmosphere of their tragedies but then the music was purely m. cldcntal to the drama. In modem opera ‘the music is uppormmt, ex- pressing in and through itself all the emotion with which the play is charged.

Opera is a distinct art form de- veloped carly in the 16th century through. it is said, the meetings of e smell group of enthusiastic dil- ettantes led by Giovanni Bardi in Florence. Recitation and melody gained ground and towards the end of the 17th century the musically sound and effective form known as the aria had resulted.

The first public opera house was opened in Venice in 1637 and before. the end oi the century thsro were in Venice no fewer than clovcn op- era houses. Today. New York City- with its ten millions oi veopilc is having a struggle to support its one opera house.

The fact that many of the great- est of the composers devoted much of their time to opera is woli known and its influence on music gener- ally bo overestimate‘. The progress of singing and the devel- opment of tho orchestra an duo in large measure to the evolution of this form of musical oxvllession. The interesting development of opera. continued through various different European schools, but a loose classification ' ludes, grand opera, tho opera bouifa (Italian comic), opera comiquo (French comic) and light opera.

"Martha" or "The Fair at Rich- mond" is a semi-serious opera in iour acts. Tho air. "The Last Rose of Summer" is an old Irish air "The Groves of Blarney" to which Thom- as Moore fitted the poem. Tho use oi thistune was criticised, but it has, nevertheless, become one of tho best known and most popular oi all tho arias.

The composer. Frederick Von Fllotow of Mocklonburg was born in 1812. The librettist was 1". W.

Sir ‘rristram.

Mrs. Rogers gave a brief account

of Richmond Fair and the appear-

ance of Lady Harriet, Nancy and

Sir Tristram who, dressed as peas-

ants had become Martha, Julia and

Old Rep. Two farmers Lionel and

Piunkctt hired the girls as servants

unaware of their rank, and Sir

TYmTI-"l. finally. rescued them, but

not before Lionel had {alien in love

with Martha.

The music for this excerpt, in-

cluding about everything in tho realm of opera, line solos, duets,

quartets and choruses, brought forth tho great musical ability of each and every performer. ‘Ihoy gave, the guartet and maids’ chor-

us "I Can Sow Sir," "The Spinning Quartet," the duet "Kind and Gen-

tle is tho StrangsP-Martha and Lionel; and the ballad, “The Last Rose oi Summer" was very beau- tifully sung by Martha, Mrs. Roper. Mrs. Rogers continued her syn- opsis, describing acts three and four. the hunting scsns in which Napcy and the chorus sang the Huntrssa Chorus, and once more the Fair scene with Lionors solo "Nona So Sale." and the finale with quartet and chorus. 0'1: of the finest numbers on tho programme. This final chorus was most enthus- iastically cnoorcd and rnany favor- able comments were hoard on the whols programme.

The quartet is a particularly well balanced one, and the Serenadcrs added greatly to their reputation as a smoothly blended chorus of rich voices.

Tho Music Club members are very grateful to tho non-members.
