Beethoven of the early middle period was the safest guess with such entirely unknown listeners. For all that she really knew, they might want her to play Chaminade and Moskowsky. Mr. Welles, the nice old man, might find even them above his comprehension.
"Would you mind its being Chaminade?" she returned, dropping her eyes to cloak the sin. "Ah no; I recognize it now," replied Eugene. "He appeals to me even more than Grieg." At this she glanced quickly up at him, but more quickly down again, and hastened the time emphatically, swinging the little air into the major. "Do you play the 'Pilgrim's Chorus'?" She shook her head.
"Yes," looking him courageously in the eyes. "And I hope you were not laughing when you said all those kind things about it." "Laughing? No," gravely, "I was not laughing. Play something lively; Chaminade; I am blue to-night." So Patty played the light, enchanting sketches. In the midst of one of them she stopped suddenly. "What is it?" he asked. "I thought I heard the boat's whistle. Listen.
"I know it. Still we have Chaminade and Nevin and De Bussy. Some of De Bussy's tone poems are marvels. I love 'La Lettre' and 'La Muette." "I don't think I have ever heard either of them," returned Mrs. Harlowe. "I know very little of the modern music of the French school." "I'll sing 'La Lettre' for you." Nora faced the piano to render the exquisite inspiration of the noted French composer.
Taking the work of women as a whole, there are worthy examples of all the large forms to be found among their compositions. In the field of orchestral work, including symphonies, symphonic poems, overtures, and suites, we find such names as Augusta Holmes, Chaminade, Louisa Lebeau, Emilie Mayer, Mme. Farrenc, Comtesse de Grandval, Elfrida Andrée, Edith Chamberlayne, Mrs.
I had made the coupling without a scratch to myself, and it wasn't long before I became bolder, and jumped on and off of the foot-boards and brake-beams like any other lunatic. That all four of us were not killed is nothing short of miracle. By a dint of hard work we succeeded in getting a train made up for Chaminade, and all that was now needed was an engine and crew.
"The Lily" has the passionate lyricism of Chaminade, and "Sweet Wind that Blows" is a fine frenzy. The "Nocturne" is dainty and has its one good climax. "Before the Dawn" has some of Chadwick's best work; it is especially marked by a daring harmonic you might say impasto. In the case of the cantata, "The Lily Nymph," Chadwick's art was quite futilized by the superb inanities of the book he used.
There are some gifted mortals who can think in music, whose joys and sorrows translate themselves naturally into melody. Cécile Chaminade was one of these. So earnestly did she devote her childish days to music that before the age of eight she was already able to show some attempts of her own at composition.
As an example we may cite the works of Chaminade, which hold the very highest rank in their class. Her songs are among the most delightful in the world to-day, yet they charm by delicacy rather than strength, and are different from, if not inferior to, the creations of a Jensen or a Graedener, to say nothing of the more dramatic works of Schumann or Schubert.
The door of the box opened and Courtenay Youghal entered, bringing with him subtle suggestion of chaminade and an atmosphere of political tension. The Government had fallen out of the good graces of a section of its supporters, and those who were not in the know were busy predicting a serious crisis over a forthcoming division in the Committee stage of an important Bill.
