I t pronounces Sembrich the" worthy Mks-cessor of Patti in herf great roles andfliWB-ter beyond comparison on the con*Wrt stage. F

"To describe the "singing of this in­comparable artist would be to describe the a r t of song itself. There is nothing calling for discriminative analysis in her performance. The educated music lover is here on solid ground. He has no mo­ments of anxiety, no Instants of discom­fort. All he has to 40 is to sit easily in his chair and drink ip the beauties of an art so exquisite, so finished, so fascinat­ing, that it is a joy to be o n ' t h e same earth with it.

"That Mme. Sembrich returns with un­impaired voice need not be recorded for the information of music lovers; they know that she would not sing if she were not fit to do so. But what is to be said' of her wonderful coloring of tones, her mastery of declamation , in several lan­guages, her ravishinafly brilliant upper notes, her flute-Ilk©1 lower tones, her phrasing, finished to the - delicacy of moasie work?

" These is something beyond these, namely, her high musicianship, which en­ables her to construct what Garat called the plan of each song so as most ad­equately to disclose the musical beauty of the composition without sacrificing the sense of the text. Her study is not of the music alone, ,but, first of all, of the poem; secondly, of the music in its re­lation to the poem, and, thirdlv, of the treatment of the musical phrase and ac­cent so as to place the organism of the song in the clearest light.

"Her study is vitalized by a rich tem­perament, and this temperament floods her delivery with a warm glow of poetry." , « ,«

11 ^,very. i n t e r e s t i n s r venture in music pub­lishing Is the series of works called the Musicians' Library, 'feeing Issued by the Oliver Ditson company.. The scheme in­cludes/more than rforty large volumes, of a size convenient for practical use at the piano. Fifteen collections of songs from various nationalities, a dozen more song albums, each demoted to one com­poser; eight piano albums of similar scope and four piano collections are in prepara­tion.

Each volume Is edited by some recog­nized authority, who provides a critical or biographical Introduction, with one or more portraits. Thus, Philip Hale is pre­paring "Fifty Modern French Songs" and "Forty Modern Russian Songs": Frank Damrosch has in charge "Sangs from the Oratories/ ' in four volumes; H. E. Kreh-biel is editing "Songs from the Operas," in four volumes, and James Huneker has in hand the books of songs by Brahms, Tschaikowsky and Richard Strauss.

There will be special music in the Church of the Redeemer to-morrow even­ing. Carlo Fischer, 'cellist, will plav "Melodie" by Massenet and "Cantilena'' by Golterman.
