A PlwMnl Letter From (ieorfia.
Atlanta, Georgia,
January 22, 1922.
Editor of The Shephcrdstown Reg
ter?Observer's reminiscences of t
village choirs in Shepherdstow n s
very charming. May it be many lo
j years before that last hymn he mc
tions is chanted over him .
Years ago, when 1 Hrst heard t
great Emil Fischer in New York, I w
carried back instantly to a wonder)
bass voice in the Lutheran choir
home. 1 thought then, and still bclic\
that had Mr. Spohn chosen to leave t
little village and his fascinating shi
at the head ol tow n he too could ha
became a famous singer. Yet perha
he chose the better part?certainly
happier one.
Perhaps some day Observer w ill t<
us who else besides Miss Lucrel
Hickman taught little Shephcrdstov
gtru to tinkle tunes on the piano, ai
the history of Criswell's Silver Com
Band
Who first played beautiful class
music in our village?
Schubert's serenade w?s in one
the big music books that my mother ca
ricd out of the burning house durii
the Civil War, but the other contcr
were nearly all songs of the period ai
transcripts of all the Italian opcr
notably, Hrnani, Lucia di Lamnu
moor and l a Fille du Regiment, late
made popular again by Caruso.
It was a far cry from Miss Lucrel
Hickman to Miss Mary Hubbard, \vl
was the first, 1 think, to play classic
music in Shepherdstown, though Mi
Jenny Anspach may have antedat
tier.
The other day 1 heard Nelson Illing
wVirth, the Australian baritone, say tli
McDowell's "Sea" is the greatest s
song next to Schubert's "Am Meet
I ever composed. "Yet," he added, "I ha
( only heard a McDowell song thr
: times since coming to America. Y
Americans have one of the greatc
sting composers in the world. W
1 don't you sing him?"
I wonder if life is not too easy for
in our country so that we are contc
i with what we have by nature wit
out striving for more and more pcrfi
' tion in the greatest of all arts?
