the old Semitic idea of Jehovah ho made the good to prosper and le evil to be desolate They saw od not in the world about them but i a thing apart Job on the other hand got the revela-on from his own heart He defied gmatism and was true to himself id it "followed as the night the tat he was truetodiis God "Honest sssimism is better than dishonest declared Professor Griggs The only safe thing to do

yet he was truly a child of his own ing in his strains the feelings of a people intoxicated by its lately 4 acquired liberty and 'eager to assert its freedom great the sublime the horrible the grotesque- the poetical the idyllic the-fantastic all may be found in his music Berlioz was a paradox fIt was in the domain of the drehestra that he reigned supreme The most commonplace ideas were elevated by the wonderful treatment to which they were subjected-' He is regarded by many as the precursor of the entire? modern school It- has largely been an indirect influence though none-the-less positive IIis brilliant orchestral "effects have cast their influence upon all those composers who have studied his scores and borrowed many instrumentaf devices from of Composers Secondly Mr LaViolette considered Gounod remarking upon the fact that the important part played by him in the musical movement of the century is generally unrecognized- He outlined the' development of i his compositions leading to the creation of a practically new and'special form of French opera composed 'of varioiis seemingly con dieting elements but suited to the requirements of the time His influeftce was soon felt and it permeated the work's of "the succeeding generation of French composers Saint-Saens' Massenet In his discourse on the three composers 'particular mention was made of Saint-Saens as the only modern master who may justly claim to? have achieved success in all the great branches of music Mr greatest admiration is for Cesar Franck and he paid the great composer a sincere Franck occupies a unique place in the history of said LaViolette his lifetime he was praeticallyignored With a sublime indifference to worldly matters carelesh of adopting any means to gain popular suffrage Franck living in Paris-yefcuntroubled by the turmoil of busy city worked incessantly to produce the best that was in him The influence of Franck has been two-fold In the first place by his example by his noble character his absolute integrity of purpose--his 'lofty ideals his vast a erudition he has contributed largely-toraise the standard of mnsical thought he has turned the ideas of many of the younger French composers into more serious channels and Shas upheld the banner of true art against the ever-existing philistinism -of the nave Musical Selections Mr
