VOICES OF GBEAT SINGERS STAYING QUALITIES IP TRAINED Pattl'a Projected Nxt "J-arewclI Tour" A Hundred-Year-Old Voice Teacner Who Expect to Teach for Ycara More) Rcnitnlsoeiirrs of Jenny Und, Urtat and Mallbran. Corrawpondamce of Tha Observer. Boston. April l-So they say that Madame Adellna Pattl la think ing of making atill another farewell tour of the United States and that at thla age her voice is aa young and clear as when she waa thirty, or even twen ty. Marveloua woman! Wonderful press agents! Above all a remarkably well trained voice, to have endured In Its purity down to thla year of our Ivord, for Pattl waa born In Madrid In 1843 Hera exemplifies what the leaders of musical education in all lands are coming more and mora to realise the Staying quality of a voice trained, or "placed, as the technical expression la. by the old Italian method. Fads coma and go among society women who sing for their health or for the enjoyment sometimes feigned of their friend. Fledgling teacher run off on tangents of "lone production." New ways of reaching "high C" are devised. But alwaya tha devotee of the latest fan cies before making good In their art get back at last to where they started from to methods which Porpora de vised in It lay Just 200 years ago and under which practically all the world s great singer have been educated George W. Chad wick, the eminent American compoaer and director of the New England Conservatory of Music, who la spending a year abroad In study of tha European conservato ries, has hitely restated his conviction that the old Italian sLyle of teaching singing Is not only In a class by It self but has no competitors for guncral favor What thfl hundred of teachers In this country who are engaged In the work of tone production In accord ance with the method by which Mali bran and (Irisl and Nordlca were trained have to say In Its favor is that It la the method of improving on nature by natural mean. The master of Italian singing select the things that It Is easy and natural for the voice to do. and then ttttalns almost Impossible excellence In doing them And that's very different, it ia said, from some of the modern practice. Wagner, for example, who with all hla marvelous abilities ns a composer never appreciated nature' limita tion upon the vooul organs, used tha voice just like any Instrument In the orchestra, treating It a he treated so much brass and catgut. It had to rise with the music to a shriek and sink to a sigh without Intermediate gradation. Nothing waa too hard for the Wagnerian singer to undertake, though hi voice broke In the effort. In marked contrast I the Italian way. Go into a conservatory class to day where singing la being taught. The simple, comparatively eaay thing ar being done over and over again with the aame ihoroughnas that char arterlied Porpora Instruction of his pupit Caff artel lo, who waa required to vocallM tha atna two page of exer cise every day for tx year. "Insist on tha vowels," the Instructor keep aaytng with patient reita ration. "Head up, Hhoulder back. Ah-a-a. Now try ona of tha dark vowel. Oh-o-o, fling In tli throat, not from It." Thlg worts it not purely intallactu aL .U.Ia phyaiotoglcaL That Ig why tha recently devised achem of. teach, fng alngera tvtfb the aid of tha thom graph, a that: tha p"ttl May hear tb , CLE4N STOCK Of ALL UP-TO-DATE GOODS WAS tvER E accepted aa a valuable one by the teacher of song in the leading Amer ican musical conaervatory. The lm portantthlng isn't o much to hear the aound of one'a own voice a to have the vocal organ so well developed that the right sounds will come forth without effort. Carried on year in and year out, the old Italian teaching doe more than Impart knowledge to the pupil. It above all develop mus cles of the palate and larynx which, especially among those whose ordi nary speech Is harsh and run to consonants, would otherwise be under alxed from disuse. Tho person who ia going to sing needs not only to know how to sing but how to have the requi site muscles for singing. Hence tha truth of the old saying. "Chi canta Itallamente canta tutto 11 tempo dells, aua vita." ("Whoever sings In tha Italian way sings all .the rest of hie life.") That accounts for Pattl. whose voice was trained many years ago by Signor Rotoli, who from 1885 to tha time of hla death in 1904 was a vocal Instructor at the conservatory in Boston. That is what Jean de Rcske menat when he said: "I find the sing er's art become narrower and nar rower all the time, until I can surely aay that tha great question of sing ing becomes a question of nose" a curlou sentiment, by the way, if one doe not understand that people "sing through the nose," a it Is termed, only when tho nasal passages are in reality stopped up, and that when these are wide open there Is no trace of nasal Round. Tha old Italian method of teaching singing, so Ita advocates say, produc ed Uabiielll, that most wonderful singer of the eighteenth century, with a voire of two and one-half octave, perfectly smooth And equable in all Its range; the clear note of the beau tiful, witty and dissipated Sophia Ar- onuld, at whose salon and recital Beit- j jamln Franklin wa a frequent ; In-i terested attendant: Mr. Ellxabeth Itilllngton, the flnst singer of Kngllsh birth, regarding whom Haydn made hi celebrated epigram In the prosence of Sir Joshua Reynold, the painter: "You have made a mistake. You have represented Mrs. Bllllngton lis tening to the angels. You should have made tha angels listening to her," Reared In the same school of rigor- ous Insistence upon simple thing was Henrietta Bon tag, of whom It was said: "Hh appeared to sing with tha volubility of a bird and to experience all the pleasure she imparted,". Tho tradition of the school have been carried on In Kngtand down to this day by Profeaaor Manuel Garcia, son of the celebrated Bpanlsh tenor for whom Rossini specially composed tha part of Alma viva In "The Barber of .Seville." At the advanced age of 101 for he was born on March 17, lDOfi Benor Garcia still, according to a re cent report, preserve tha purity of hi voice and vitality of hla constitu tion. He evidently expects to teach Italian singing for a long time yet, for he not long ago told a young lady who applied to him for lessons to come again in three years, aa her voice waa at present too Immature for aertous work. He has actually been teaching for eighty years. Of the same remarkable-, family and trained with flror kind nee y her father was Manuel Oarcla's .sister, Madame Mall brant the foremost so prano of her day, who met with an untimely end a a result of a fall from o.taorstv'., - i t v v.t f('i -- Then hare wa Oriatl London's fa vorite. who missed only; on yer of appearance fit that metropolis from. iu -to mi, and ftor husband- Mario HIV the request of the Csar of Russia, aying that he would rather lose a monarch's favor than run any risk of injuring hla voice. Trained by Manuel Garcia many year ago was Jenny Llnd, whose 'popularity in America under the management -of the late P. T. Barnum was enormous. There la a long list of American sing ers educated in the old Italian way, amongst them Clara Louise Kellogg. Minnie Hauk, Annie Louise Cary and Emma Abbott. Prominent among those still on the stage is Lillian Nor dlca, a star pupil of the New England Conservatory of Music some nine years ago and later trained by Signor Banglovahnl In Milan. Adellna Pattl herself, of course, counts as one of the foremost expon ents of the method, and Sir Morell Mackenxte, a great throat specialist, said not long ago that hers was the only throat he had ever examined in which tha vocal cord were left In ab solutely perfect condition after many year of strenuous use. Because there exists so long a list of the successes of the old Italian style of singing teaching It gains greater and greater ascendency in every country of the world where singing Is taught. Among the1 music schools of this country It Is now prac tically supreme. The period of ex perimenting seems to have passed here. "In so representative an Institu tion as the New England Conserva tory of Music, with Its two thousand and more of students, all the teach ing of singing Is after the Italian manner. The same thing Is true to an extent of the mulc schools In Germany, France and England. Only in Italy, where the method waa originally de vised, has It in any way lost its vogue. Theoretically the Italian masters all teach the old Italian method, but It Is said that compara tively few of them stick to the spirit of the traditions of the eighteenth entruyi Durham Wife-Slayer to be Tried Next Month.
