The enormous size of Russia and the many points of difference be tween the various parts of the country, gives an endless variety of Russian music. The most origi nal and interesting songs have come from what is known as "Lit tle Russia," the district bordering on Poland. In Russian churches no instru ments are allowed, so that we find the deepest bass voices in the world in Russia today. With the constant oppression of tyrant rulers and the invasion of enemies, it is but natural that the best songs of Russia are sad and favor the minor mode. I'vter Tsellaikowsky (1840-1893) was the greatest of the composers of Russia in the so-called Modern School (which school is the out growth of the Romantic Period as the Romantic Period was the out growth of the Classical). Of a morbid temperament, Tschaikowsky reflects in his coin positions the deep brooding sad ness of the Russian heart. His life forms an interesting story; one of its singular episodes was the be stowal upon him of an annual in come by an admirer, a woman, on condition that lie should never try to see her; this made him inde pendent of drudgery. He travelled and gained inspiration for some of his works in Italy; but they are mostly intensely Russian in feel ing and embody much of Russia's wild,,sad, tender spirit. His greatest works are written for the orchestra and are brilliant and daring; his piano works are graceful and melodious; his songs, though few in number, are of ar tistic value and it is in these that he shows much of the innate sad ness of his nature. EDWARD GRIEG — NORWAY. The deep forests, sunny mead ows, high mountains and rugged sea-coast of Norway inspires a love which makes the tales and music of this land most fascina ting. The Norse songs are divided into two classes; one hold and vig orous, the other tender and plain tive. Edworcl (iricg (1843-1007) is to day regarded as tiie most impor tan master of the Norwegian school. He was especially success ful in small piano compositions and in his songs. He is one of the most popular and deeply beloved of all modern composers, and his work deserves a place beside Chop in's and Tseha ikowsky's, as being thoroughly representative of the spirit of a nation and its song. EDWARD MACDOWELL — AMERICAN. Much has been written of the characteristic music of America in the past few years, and many musicians believe that the future of our American School rests on THE GUILFORDIAN llio ase of Indian melodies only, while many others argue that the songs of the American negroes are our national music. America has been settled by all nations, and the musical knowl edge of the American musicians has been "imported," as it were, from Germany, France and Italy. While Europeans schools of music were giving us their greatest works we were struggling to gain our freedom and establish our form of government. Edward MacDowcll (18(11-15)08) was i devoted student of American music and in several of his larger works incorporated Indian themes. MacDowell and Schumann may be profitably compared; both men lived the same number of years— about 10; entered the musical world as pianisns, taught in con servatories, wrote critical essays, and both men suffered the tragedy of becoming insane several years before their death. But the strik ing similarity lies not so much in their lives as in their tempera ments and their music. Macl>owell said of Schumann, "llis music is the reverie of a great poet to whom nothing seems strange and who has the faculty of relating his visions." The same words have been ased concerning Mac Dowel mystic, a dreamer, a poet—yet there is as much dif ference in their expression of the same moods as between German and Scottish brogue. PERSONALS.
