SPLENDID SINGING BY THE CHOIR, CARDIFF, Wednesday Night. Tell it not in Gath that a city of the IirBtBnsions of Cardiff is too pre-occupied tO pause for a day or two once in three years to hold intercourse with the most Aspiring of all democracies, Music. Art, and particularly music,- should not have to supplicate to commerce for recognition. Musical progress has Senerally been coincident with commer- Clal prosperity, and the luxury of a festival generally implies that a town has risen to an appreciation of its desirabi- lity. There were, however, empty seats 4t the Park-hall this morning for the "Pening concert of the fifth triennial ^Uskal festival. Hence the gentle Philippic, gentle because, although there Wore empty seats, the attendance seemed a good deal larger than at the corre- sPonding gathering three years ago. But '■We should have been no vacant chairs. »The presence of the Lord Mayor (Sir S. Crossman), wearing his chain of -See, and accompanied by the aldermen councillors, gave a civic flavour to ^6 function. The procession was received by Mr. Robert Forrest and pther festival officials, a guard of honour being provided by members of the fire- rigade. As soon as tne members of the chorus and orchestra were in position— It group of nearhT 400 performers-the Scene drew pleasant compliments, a brilliant sunshine adding to its pic- turesquene&s. Promptly at half-past one Dr. F. H. Cowen took his place, and camo in for a reception that left no 'joubt as to his popularity. The National 7*ithem having been sung, without ^broidery, the festival opened, appro- pately and well, with "Hail! Bright $cilia," from Pureell's "Ode on St. .^cilia's Day," written for a celebration London in 1692. j The general character of the four faJ"s' programme leaves little room °r complaint on the score of j^tholicity. The whole arrangements, an indicate a comprehensive discriminating musical outlook on G part of those responsible. It would, .^rtheless, be interesting to know why g- "e Golden Legend should have been en pride of place for the opening ^eeting.

THE EVENING MEETING.

THE EVENING MEETING. It is gratifying to be able to say that the attendance this evening showed a marked improvement. The area was, in fact, crowded, and fewer empty stalls were seen in the balcony. There can be little doubt that the attraction for most people was Mr. Granville Bantock's "Omar Khayyam." The committee took a bold step when it invited the Birming- ham composer to write the second part of his Persian trilogy for Cardiff, seeing that the first part induced respectful admiration rather than enthusiasm at the Birmingham Festival last year. It may be said at once that the section heard to-night is a work of novel power, and its obvious popularity with the chorus is, perhaps, significant of the accoptan co which probably awaits it. Although in a measure this may be due to its brevity compared with Part I., it may be equally attributed to the rurer manner which the composer has brought to bear upon his work, in spite of the fact that the poet-astronomer is dealing with subjects far more abstruse than those 'n the first forty-four quatrains. Few of the things that perplex the minds of men when contemplating the mysteries of existence are missing from the Rubaiyat, and it is these that specially constitute the 46 sfcajuzas taken by the composer from Fitzgerald's adaptation for the pur- poses of tihe second part of his "Omar Khayyam." It would be idle to pretend that Mr. Bantock is as yet either under- stood or appreciated. He has choser not ordy to associate his art with subjecr matter that is caviar to the general, but to make the orchestra the paramount agency for painting his impressions. Divested of its ingenious trappings in this direction, the music would become for the most part null and void. And yet there is a certain auto-didactic character about it that encourages a cfistant belief in the genius of the composer, in spitt of the elusive textual foundation of most of his work. At Birmingham the per- formance of Part I. conveyed the idea that the chorus imperfectly understood what they were doing, but the composer could not possibly have been better served than he was by the Cardiff chorus this evening. Their treatment of the choral portions indicated that "Omar Khayyam," so far from being a sealed book, had been carefully read and digested before the score had been looked, at. The result was a performance for which Mr. Bantock was obviously grate- ful, while the audionce had clearly been made to realise that they had assisted at the production of a work of real import- ance. Tho enthusiasm, indeed, must have been the most stimulating yet experienced by the composer. Mr. Ffrangcon Davies represented the philosopher with impeccable fidelity. while Mr. John Coates, as the poet, and Madame Kirkby Lunn, as the beloved, equally loyal service to the composer. The rest of the evening was occupied by Beethoven's Concerto in E flat, with Signor Busoni as solo-pianist; a vocai s«ma^by Madame Kirkby Lunn Chopin's h of in G minor (Op. 23), also played y gnor Busoni, and Beethoven's "Leonora" overture No.3. Signor Busoni, needless to say, received a great ovation.

MAGNIFICENT RENDERING OF "THE KINGDOM." There was another great audience at the Park-hall eta Ttenrsdiay a-fternoctn, wfhen the i festival opened upon its second, day. The musical public in Cardiff came in force to hear one of the pieces do resistance of the festival, "The Kingdom," conducted by its author, Sir Edward Elgar, admittedly the greatest Britiefi composer of the day. Hi-, arrival upon the platform, together with the soloists, Miss Agnes Nicholls, Miss Alice Lakin, Mr. John Goatee, and Mr. Ffrangoor Davies, was heralded with such a tem- pest of hajtd-oltajpping as indicated hov eagerly his appearance had been awaite.d Some description of "The Kingdom" as one of the more important works of the bet; British compoeer may be forgiven. It is the second of a series of oratorios, the first 0: which is The Apostles." The idea of tha* equally celebrated work is further developec in "The Kingdom," which deals with tÍo¡' early Church in Jerusalem, and it is nosec-ir that Sir Edward is contemplating-if alread, he has not commenced its third work, taking- for its Otmroh of the Geontiloo." The personages represented in the king- i-. are the Blessed Virgin, Mary Magdalene, i' John, and St. Peter, and Mr. John Ooa*' openod the first scene, in which Peter is found relating to the disciples and holy women" the story of the Last Sacrannent." It is a picture of a small gathering of Christ's early followers met in brotherly love for secret prayer and communion. The work con- tinues in a quasi-coinver&ational style until the big chorus opening, Oh, ye priests." This gave the chorus a. full opportunity of demonstrating its vocal power, and a magni- ficently scored passage was interpreted with a loud triumphant note, in which the motive of the lines was vividly expressed. Miss Alice LaMn made her first appearance at this festival in Scene Z, "The Morn of Pentecost at the beautiful gate," where, with Miss Agnes Nidholle, she joined in am exquisite rendering of the beautiful duet, commencing The singers are before the altar— They make sweet melody. The music of the first part of the work con- tinues in the triumphant or exhortative strain until the fourtdi scene, where, in a passage founded upon the story of Peter and the lame man at the beautiful gate, the melody appropriate to the motive expressed in the title, the "Sign of Healing," becomes embued with a sense of inward peace, and takes a strain of placid beauty which makes it one almost unique All the cnarxns 01 this ecetne were thoroughly re-pro- duced by Mr. John Coatee and Mr. Ffrangcon Davies, and a musical audienoe was unstint- ing of its audible appreciation. The closing portion of the work, represents the arrest of Christ by the Roman soldiery, and scenes in "the Upper Room" at the gathering of disciples. I The effect of a magnificent performance ;8 best summed up in the words of Sir Edward Elgar. As, besieged by a crowd of autograph hunters, he hurried off into his motor-car he found tdme to say, "I aID deighted."

Many feared that when the theo- logical students were removed to Aberyst- wyth the old institution would suffer, but such had not been the case, for Trevecoa was more flourishing than ever. Forty-two students had entered, and among the new features of the present college was the inte- resting fact that students from England were attracted to the plaoe.

At the electricity and tramways committee of the Pontypridd District Council, held under tho presidency of Mr. Hopkin Morgan, on Tuesday reference was made to the con- gested state of affairs in the Rhondda section of the council's treumways on occasions when workmen go to and return from work, and the need for an improved system of granting tickets to those patronising the cars, "S the conductors were on these particular occa- sions quite unable to cope with the traffic. It was suggested phat under these circum- stances there were'many passengers who did not pay their fares, whilst it was stated that some of those who did pay were not given tickets by the conductors.—Mr. Teasdel (the engineer and manager) stated that the trams carried no less than an average of 8,503 pas- sengers per day, and when it was considered that most of this traffic was done in a couple of hours each day the leakage could not be much. Councillor James Roberts remarked that the cars on one occasion when he tried to mount them were so overcrowded that the conductor had to hang on outside. Mr. Teasdel said that he was considering the suggestion of providing a penny-in-the- slot machine, whereby passengers could get their tickets prior to entering the cars. The question of inquiring what steps should be adopted in order to deal with the conges- tion was left in the hands of the manager.
