?S?P ? .'A-!i,' --j - : 10 THE COURIER, MUSICAL MENTION It may be interesting to know the per sonelle of the present Philharmonic or chtstru, which", while comparatively small, is effect it. us was abundantly demonsttatcd on Wednesday. Id orcier to undeis'and the make up of the mod ern orches'ra, it is ne:rssary to know that it consists of three bands the string quartet, the woodwind and the brasses besides instruments of percus sion not to be included in any of the regular divisions. Each of these quar tets is in a way independent and effect ive alone, hence the modern orchestra takf n as a whole is tin most effective of instrument, capable of a wide variety of tone color and infinitely varied expres sion. In our orchestra the string quar tet is made up as follows: Your first violins playing treble. Four second violins playing alto. Four violas playing tenor. Two 'cellos playing baritone. Two contra basses playing base. It will be seen that the string orches tra is capable of placing in full harmony without the assistance of the rest of the band. Next in importance in the mod ern orchestra comes what is called the "woodwind.' In our orchestia one im portant instrument the bassoon is at present absent. The ensemble is as fol lows: . Two flutes playing treble. One oboe playing alto. Two clarinets playing tenor. (Absent, one baasoon playing bass.) One piccolo playing high treble. The woodwind choir in our band, while f mail, is effective. The brasses at preheat consist of Two cornets playing the higher parts. Three French horns playing the mid dle parts. Two trombones and one bass tuba playing the lower parts. Of instruments of percussion the ket tle drams one pair in our orchestra are instruments having definite pitch, playing baw; and there are besides, one bass drum, one snare drum, one pair of cymbals, one triangle, all instruments without definite pitch, but effective in climaxes. It will be noted that in ar ranging these instruments the conductor is under the necessity of placing them so that 1. The instruments may mutually support one another. 2. The audience shall recieve the best combination of tone. Weak toned to the front, strong toned to the rear. 3. Instruments must be placed so as to be in full view of the director.

The program of Wednesday was light and varied, popular in its general char acter. Hagenow that so smooth and finished a performance rewarded his efforts. Ex tendsd comment upon individu al numbers is unnecessrry, as all wera pleasing and tuneful. Per sonally, I enjoyed the march of Sousa and the Waltz of Ross as much as any. We shall await with interest the next concert, when a number of selec- is a good sign of growing interest in ar tistic matters that so large an audience was present.

Let us add the aesthetic to tho purely intellectual, and welcome any help to this consummation so devoutly to be wished for. J. It. The Ideal Mandolin Club, under the direction of Mrs. Louisa M. Allen, gave an attractive concert at the Second Presbyterian churgh on Friday evening cf last week. The church was well filled with an appreciative audience, who recalled most of the per for mere foran "encore."' The selections of the club were bright, well chosen and plated in good time. The songs given by .Miss Teresa Sallo a young singer from Beatrice, were greatly enjoyed and heartily applauded. The recitation of Miss Edna Eaton, and the banjo duett of Messrs. Chap man and Franklin, also found favor. The concert which was given October 29th, at the Matinee Musicale Kcoms, under the management of Mrp. Frame Smith for the benefit of Holy Trinity church, proved an artistic and financial success. The general verdict seemed to be that the only fault of the program was its brevity. The Bucjrus Mandolin Club which placed three attractive numbers, is steadily gaining in confidence. The best work was in the "County Fiddler" and "Brewster Waltz," both catchy, bright selections. Tho "Crad'e Song" which finished the program was daintly rendered, but the more com plicated harmonies were not cleat ly de fined; apparently the fault of the secand mandolins. Lika all so-called simple music, this bit of Manser's is difficult to interpret. Miss Hoover gave two beautiful piano numnere, aTjrilliant "Ballad" by Chopin, and a "Melody" by Paderewski, the lat ter interpreted with great delicacy and expression. Mrs. Lippincott, as usual, delighted the audience, giving two eongs and a cuett with Mr. Haydn Myer. The duett was much enjoyed, as Mr. Mjer's and Mrs. Lippincott's voices blend musically. The names of the accompanists, which were unfortunately omitted from the" program, 'were Miss Hollowbush and Mr. Randolph. ROY'S DRUG STORE Corner Tenth and P Streets.
