Of his compositions H.E. Krehbiel in 1892 recorded the opinion that they "entitled him to a position among the foremost musicians in this country." He is an uncle of Arthur Whiting. G.W. Marston's setting of the omnipresent "Du bist wie eine Blume" is really one of the very best Heine's poem has ever had. Possibly it is the best of all the American settings.
While he is not at all revolutionary, he has a certain individuality of ease, and lyric quality without storm or stress of passion. Thus his settings of seven "Wanderlieder" by Uhland have all the spirit of the road except ruggedness. His setting of "Du bist wie eine Blume" is extremely tender and sweet.
"Yis; do your bist, while I pays my respects to this gintleman, an' do ye do the listenin' while ye are about it, for I'm so taken up with this job that I haven't the time to attend to that aither."
An Indian is a poor mean thing at the bist, an' their squaws kah! they are the dirtiest beasts that iver jabbered human lingo; an' their babies, I raaly belaves, is caught with a hook an' line in the muddy creeks where the catfish breed; but, fur all that, I don't think they could have been equal to this piece of wickedness. May the divil git howld of his soul.
Plodding along in a heavy, uneven gait, there overtook him a tall, raw young lad of eighteen or twenty, slouching forward with vast strides and whistling merrily. The lad slackened his steps and joined company! "Where bist thee working now, then?" asked Smith. He replied, evidently in high spirits, that he had that day got a job at the new railway that was making.
"Du bist Orplid, mein Land! Das ferne leuchtet " I sang. I smiled at the contrast between the meaningless and trivial life of the people, who presumably lived there, and the wondrous magic glory it all assumed through the power of my imagination.
He then praises the power of all herbs: "Vom Himmel kam der Krauter Schar Geflogen, und da sprechen sie; Wen wir noch lebend treffen an Der Mann soll frei von Schaden sein." Finally the speaker singles out one herb as superior to all others: "Die Krauter viel in Soma's Reich Die hundertfach verstandigen, Von denen bist das beste du Erfullst den Wunsch, und heilst das Herz."
"No foolishness if you please," said Madame von Marwitz. "Of what have you and Karen been talking?" "I can't get her to talk," said Mr. Drew. "But I like to hear her play." "She plays with right feeling," said Madame von Marwitz. "She is not a child to express herself in speech. Her music reveals her more truly." "Nur wo du bist sei alles, immer kindlich," Mr. Drew mused.
"Sweet Be'mi'ster that bist abound By green and woody hills all round, Wi' hedges reachen up between A thousan' vields o' zummer green Where clems lofty heads do show Their sheades vor hay-meakers below An' wild hedge-flowers do charm the souls O' maidens in their evenin' strolls."
But, look, the morn, in russet mantle clad, Walks o'er the dew of yon high eastern hill! April 11th. I have not done much to-day. I spent the morning brooding over the opening speech. It is somber and terrible, but I have not gotten it right. It must have a tread a tread like an orchestra! Ah, how I wish I had an orchestra! I would soon do it then "So bist nun ewig du verdammt!"
