A thoroughly charming work is the setting of Lowell's poem, "The Rose," for solos and chorus. The dreariness of the lonely poet and the lonely maid contrasts strongly with the rapture of their meeting. As the first half of the poem is morose yet melodious, the latter is bright with ecstasy; the ending is of the deepest tenderness.
"They would n't let you sing solos at St. Paul's Church if you did n't sing well so!" The children waited in astonished silence. This was an accomplishment of David's which had not been told them. Miss Lucy propped him up a little higher among his pillows, and then he began the sweet vesper hymn, "The King of Love my Shepherd is."
The Scotch songs are charming: "My Heart is Sair" is full of fine feeling, and must be classed among the very best of the many settings of this lyric of Burns'. Most modern in feeling of all Gilchrist's vocal solos is the group of "Eight Songs." They interpret the text faithfully and the accompaniment is in accord with the song, but yet possessed of its own individuality.
This leads directly to the lovely quartet, "Over the Dark Blue Waters," one of the most attractive numbers in the opera. It is a concerted piece for two sopranos, tenor, and bass, opening with two responsive solos in duet, first for the bass and tenor, and then for the two sopranos, the voices finally uniting in a joyous and animated movement of great power.
SACRED MINSTRELSY; a COLLECTION of the FINEST SACRED MUSIC, by the best Masters, arranged as Solos, Duets, Trios, &c., and Choruses; and with accompaniments for the Piano-Forte or Organ. Half-bound, or in Nos. I. to XXIV., at 1s. 6d. THE ROMAN CATHOLIC DOCTRINE of the EUCHARIST. The Scriptural Argument considered.
In vulgar parlance, she "shot her bird sitting", plumped the idea upon her, and dragged forth an acceptance before as the poor lady afterwards protested she had time to realize what she was undertaking. "Certainly. Why not?" confirmed her husband. "We badly want some more items on the programme. I shall put you down for two solos." "But what can I play?" remonstrated Mrs. Fleming.
What is still more important for us to note is that these lyrics were strophical and that they were no further removed from the folk song of the era than the frottola was. Indeed they bore a closer resemblance to the frottola. They differed in that they were solos with instrumental accompaniment instead of being part songs unaccompanied. But this difference is not so important as it appears.
"Well, they will," he retorted, "if you ever spring one o' your solos on 'em!" And turning to Miss Pratt, he laughed loudly and bitterly. "You ought to hear Silly Bill sing some time when you don't mind goin' to bed sick for a couple o' days!" Symptoms of truculence at once became alarmingly pronounced on both sides. William was naturally incensed, and as for Mr.
Sometimes the colony drives dull care and ennui away by indulging in private theatricals; this winter they organized an amateur company, called themselves the "Teheran Bulbuls," and, with burnt-corked faces and grotesque attire, they rehearsed and perfected themselves in "Uncle Ebenezer's Visit to New York," which, together with sundry duets, solos, choruses, etc., they proposed to give, an entertainment for the benefit of the poor of the city.
Valdor himself played the various violin solos which occurred frequently throughout the piece, and never failed to evoke a storm of rapturous plaudits, and many were the half-indignant glances of the audience towards the Royal shrine of draped satin, gilding, and electric light, wherein the King, like an idol, sat, undemonstrative, and apparently more bored than satisfied.
