Rome Concert


Til Sogard, who has charge of the in
struction in music at the Normal, has in
contemplation the giving of u concert by
his pupils and the musical talent Of En-
poria. The object of the entertainment
is two4old. In music, Us IN literature,
there are standard authors. To appreci-
ate and understand the best in
either, one must be educated
up 10 that standard so far US his apprcci-
alton extends. Mr.. Sogard is endeavor-
ing To train the culture of his scholars
upon this princIple. In the preparation
of concert like the one intended, the
musical taste oil those who take part is
IN cultivation under favorable cIrcunl-
stances Aud in the rendition of solos,
duets and choruses OF higher order
the taste of the community as regards
musical culture approaches more and
more 10 that standard acknowledged by
the master composers and performers.
the second object in view is the accu-
mutation OF n nucleus, large though it
ought to be, or small though il may, for
tho purchase Of u niuslcarlibrary Tor the
Normal. The books 10 be selected for
the library are works upon music 10y em-
inent authors, biographies of celebrated
composers, reviews and histories of the
music of different epochs, countries and
composers. The library will be aeces-
sibIe TO citizens of Emporia WHO may
wish rrom time In time TO consult special
works upon music. Mr. Sogard is gen
Ileman who takes great interest
in the higher grades of musical compost
ton, and>we wish him success in the
concert proposed He has no peeuRiary
interest in the entertainment whatever
The first o. the rehersals, VIC understand
is TO be held at the rooms of Mrs. Z. A
Moore, next Friday evening. The con
cen is expected to be given in about two
months, and will embrace solos, duets
lchoruses and orchestral music.
