The difference between the Eng
g.b and American appreciation OF
nusie is nowhere so widely stown
a. in the degree TO which cIatocios
and caatatas are cultivated in The
two countries; in England the ar
nouncement of the Messiah or the
creation is srf1loi Mt TO draw a. au-
3iepce Of sc, O0O into the Crystal Pa
Iace and a look ever the vast as
ssmblage a gentleman who has OF
ton taken part on such occasions in
arms us, shows that nearly every
nnrson IN attendance has b ought
aIonq 2 score of the work, from
which 10 follow and cIiticise tire
performance. In America, the little
love of Oratorio or cantata mu lie
that exists, is confined to the circles
NJ professors and amateurs; the mas
Sos are not without a f0ndneSs for
music, but If it comes in any ex
tended fofm, it must be accOmpan-
led by such condiments as bright
cOstuming, thrilling plot, and stage
mountings to make it psiatable.
In Salt Lake we have never had
many opportunities for manifesting
2 Ike or a di3l ke for th chsrsc't
Of music; TO OF credit
be it said. however. tina. the
fonr OCCASIONS IN which such
works nave been preseoteI b re
the rendering of the Messiah by
Mr.. Careless in 1915, Bucks 46th
Psalm given by the anne gentleman
some time later, Mrs. Hayden's
Queen Esther and Professor Blake's
Belshazz4r-were all decidedly and
deservedIy popular with the Salt
Lake ! ublic.
Early in the coming meath
We are to have another OPP
portunity for hearing and judging
of the popularity of csntata music
10 the rendition of the Daughter Of
Jairus by the new ChoralSoc1ety IN
der Mr.. Careless; the work Is by
DR.. Stsiner, organist in st. PauPs,
London, and teacher of harmony IN
the Royal Academy of Music. we
are not aware that it has yet been
given in the Unitsd States, and it
was only rendered in England in
the year 1873, when l. wa per-
formed at the Worcester Trie1uial
Musical Festival. The narrative is
from the gospels of Matthew, NJ .rk
and Luke, and treats OF ChrisG's
raising from the dead the It'll
daughter of Jairus, one Of the rulers
of the synagogue. Among the most
notable numbers are a Chorus of Un-
believers (maIe voices), "rhe Vail
ing" Chorus Of women), "Awake
