Tkatch Chanted Hebrew Service in Baritone, Tenor and Soprano ANCIENT JEWISH MUSIC Melodies Old Before Time of Psalmist Striking Cere-monies Marked Celebration A remarkable religious service took place at the Monument National last evening, when a large congregation of Montreal's Jewry gathered to worship at a service conducted by Rev. L. Tkatch, ot Buuu who is making a tour of Canada anu the United States. It is claimed by European Jmv that Rev. Mr.

Tkatch has one of the mo.st remarkable voices of any Cantor in the Jewiah world. His sinking last evening amply bore out the claim. The only vote heard within memtry in Monti tal that b''ars any leistnuuiance to Cantor Tkau-h's was tnut ot Dr. the famous Oeiman singer, whose sinking was a remarkable combination of interpretation, vocalization and personal magnetism, aided by a hat extraordinary voice. Cantor Tkateh's method were similar.

sae that he- had a much more remarkable voice, with surroundings that impressed both eye and tnwtion, a-; us ear. l-'or over two Ileitis he chunre-d the wurd Hebrew melodies, whoe orig'in was iut in the mists of antiquity, and it was a marvel how the cantor p-rcstived his tone and the sense of religious tiagedy hr-ll so murks the singing ot cantors. Ilia voice would be hard to describe. At timtjj it was a vibrant baritone. Then he would rise in emotional fervor to a lesunant tenor, generally culminating in a climax, marked by a catch in the breath similar to that occasionally ustd by Caruso to emphasize dramatie lias-sages.

Then the Cantor would pause, loo): at his lidbrew- psalmody, and continue with a sweet melody in a quiet higii soprano, neither feminine nor falsetto, with an effect that was almost uncanny. Ilis music and chants were all sung in the Hebrew, to tunes or chants that wore perhaps even older than the words, although experts lu srMi music aid that Cantor T'kati had mndt-1 nizccl them a deal, and introduced nu-iodic variations that were different to the moie archaic forms. BXTR.iOKDIX.VKY RANGE. In their essence the chants, with their strange, titration of themes, the addition of roulades and grace notes, and the chancer, ef voire, were similar to many of the older loims of music in Japan. China.

Russia, and the more oiie ital parts ot Buropean from which lattor music the Hungarian Cantor had adopted his methods. However lie derived them they were singularly impressive, even to ears una.ucus'tomed to such music, os-peciaWy when eoupL-d with his extraordinary range and quality ot voice. The surrounding- added to the in-ip-ressivemiss of the music. The Cantors recitatives were entirely unaocotnipanied, in the Russian man ner, save for a male choir of boys and -men, conducted by Mr. S.

Skolnek. whose subdued accompaniments, with the typical Russian doubiie bass foundation, w-erre very the creusional periods of antiphonal sinfen? b-ing carried out with exact harmony. Back of all was the fact that the -Monument National had been con verted into the asipeet of a Jewish Synag-og-ue, with a rnredos bearing the orthodox Hebrew markings, the Cantor wearing his sacerdotal robes, in the Hungarian style, and the choir similarly attirel. The congregation was composed of a reverent gathering of Hubrfws, men greatly 'predominating, all ceremonially wearing their hats. Similar scrvi'ds will he ca.Tied on Ty Cantor Tkatch this morning at the Monument National.
