While glaneing with Mr.. Careless
over the prospectus of the Choral
Society's coming concert, we were
forcibly struck with the number of
first class musicians Salt Lake could
summon together if an emergency
| demanded; not that all the names
prominent in the profession are set
down in the Society's list. The band
OF artists resident in our city are far
too independent and far to apprecia-
tive of their own merits TO allow
| themselves to be marshaled under
any one head. But the number of
instrum entalists expected to take
! part In the Daughter Of Jsirus' is
an evidence of musical strength con
centrate6 that we hardly supposed
we were in possession of. 1t is
gratifying thought at least chat the
old strife and turmoil which took
place in one faction OF our musicians
at the time the Careless orchestra
and the Croxall band went to pieces
has been healed over and made
whole. It would be more crafty
ing still if we could record that all
branches of the musical body had
forgotten their disagreements
jealousies and disputes, and united
in one grand endeavor to further
their art before the public. The
contemplation of such a picture as
we draw below is enough to cause
the lover of music to lose himself at
the bare thought of ever seeing it |
realized. Imagine for a moment a |
concert bill bearing upon it q COM
bination of names like the follow
ing:
THE ORCHESTRA.

These of course are only those
gentlemen and professors who may
be considered as the thoroughly pro
fcient; added to them there is
small host Of more than passsble
performers in quadrille bands, sere>
made bands, and amateurs practising
for pleasure, many of whom could be
used to SILL in, $50 that an orchestra
of from forty to fifty performers
would not be too much 10 expect.
This Utopian vi-ion however is not
likely to be realized in any great
whirl or hurry; we fancy we see
some mu icsl enthusiast fired with
The possibilities we have pictured,
about in generous attempt
to bring the different factions into
inison. Here are some of the i'm
snags such a being would
encounter,
First man approached: ESD Ies Mr.
So.and-So play sin your strings?
Yes? That settles it with me. No
ir, good morning.
Second man approached: "Who is
your conductor? I'm; [ think not;
fit were - L should gladly sa
yes; as it is, think not"
Third man approached: "HaYe
you got So-and>So's name before or
Gfter mine Before? No sir, never"
Fourth msn approached: sis my
lame il large capitals? No? Then
AXE 1t off altogether.
And so on.
