At HOME.

TIE PRINCIPAL FEArUnEs OF TIE WEEK
which has Just closed were tho BAroabea con-
certs on the South and Vest Sides, which drew
oycrfovipg houses, showing that the people arc
willing in these dull times to pay for anything
that can provoke laugh, and that they had
faith thnt Barnabee could accomplish that some
what difficult teat, as things are now going and
tlsa frat season concert of the Beethoven Society
on Thursday evening, ut McCormlcks Hall,
which gave Us list Of Alendelssohn's music
that has not been heard here sirce the days Of
! the old Menlelssohn Society-the Nlnty-tfth
Psalm, the Hymn for alto and chorus. and the
Loreiey fragment. Would they had only been
done as we'll rs in the old times! We have
already noticed the concert very fully IN detail
and pointed out the particular defects, 40 that
we need not repeat them now. AZ they
were apparent to the public, and to the
| Society itself. they must have been
apparent to 11r. WolfsohD, who will un-
doubtedly ees himself seriously at work to reme-
dy them. This is very necessary in view OF the
ambitious work the Society still has before it;
for, If the Society makes slips in the calm sea OF
atepdclssohu' g music, what will they not do in
tho distractions Of ''Lohengrin ~ and Beetho-
| yen's Prisoners' Chorns-that rock III ti-
dcl,o upon which SO many choruses have split
and gone to pieces? With this exception OF the
basses, not one Of the other parts At the late
concert had leading voices. although the sopranos
and altos were very self-relant. Mr. Wolfsohn,
however, cannot be expected to accomplish much
! without lieutenants in each part, and good
now now = somewhat feeble band Of brethren.
It would be better to hire three
or four steady, reliable voices than to hooble
along on three legs By all Of which We do not no.
by | any means. some of its work, especially in
the Loreley music, WAS very fine. But 1t 10 Old
and experienced enough now to do thoroughly
effective work, and to como before the public
conductor. conduct More rigid discipline in the ranks
will do your singers good, hr. Wolfsohn'
