*j^* There is no j>urer influence in jnodern music than that of Cesar Franck, for many 

 •"ears ignored in every capacity save that of organist ofSai?ite-Clotilde, in Paris, but noia 

 recognised as the legitimate successor of Bach and Beethoz'en. His ifispiration " rooted in 

 love and faith " has contributed in a reviarkable degree to the regeneration of the 7nusical 

 art in France and elsewhere. The now famous ^' Schola Cantorum," founded in Paris in 

 1896, by A. Guihiiant, Charles Bordes and Vincent cTIndy, is the direct outcome of his 

 influence. Among the artists who ivere in some sort his disciples were Paul Dukas, 

 Chabrier, Gabriel Faure and the great violinist Ysdye. His pupils include such gifted 

 composers as Befioit, Augusta Holmes, Chausson, Ropartz, and d' I tidy. This book, 

 •written with the devotion of a disciple and the authority of a master, leaves us with 

 a vivid and touching iinpression of the saint-like composer o'^ " The Beatitudes."
