10-Tableau: 1.-The Work Reversed"
Though we mentioned the Thursday
concert briefly in our last issue we eau
not refrain from speaking of both con.
certs at greater length, as they were
such an attestation of the artistic talent
of Lexington as to merit more than a
passing notice.
As Will be observed by the pro.
grammes all the set pieces but one
played by the orchestra were either
written or rearranged by MIR. john
Es Burden, of whose talent as COM
poser of music we have frequently be-
tore had occasion to speak. When it
is considered that he prepared and
wrote the music tor each instrument In
the orchstra the magnitude Of his work
may be appreciated. Its character is
attested by the excellent time and har-
mbny. preserved throughout. From
the overture on the first night to the
"Zaubegfoete'' on the second, the or.
alar. NO .-e~s.- g.: II ---.~-~~, OIv.-
est attention from the audience and
hearty applause at the conclusion of
each piece. The names OF the gentle
men who composed it, are, Jno. E.
Burden, Esq. director and first violin ;
Charles Homer, first violin; Frank
kriehn, second violin; L. Utt, second
violin; Geo. Young, violonceilo; Ed.
Zeiler, bass viol; Jacob Fegert, flute
Prof G. It. Storandt, of Marshall, an
old member of fthePhilharmonic Society,
and who came up especially for the oc-
casion, clarionet; Herman Schmidt,
Brownsville, first cornet; Jos. Utt, Jr.,
second cornet; Martin Russell, from.
bone, and Prof. Charles Gimbel, piano
II was universally expressed senti-
ment that the gentlemen composing
the orchestra should effect perma.
nent organization and thereby add 8
feature to our musical feasts which
nothing else can replace. In order t.
accomplish this the Intelligencer
would suggest reorganization Of
the Philharmonic Society upon a
broader basis than it has heretofore
occupied, by admitting to membership
not only all of our musicians, ladies ano
gentlemen, but also all lovers of music
who desire to join. By increasing the
membership to hundred or more
and by the imposition of small month
ly dues, Mr.. Kriehn's hall, or some
other, could be secured, with the use
of first rate piano, and the society
could meet once week of an evening
for practice, programme being pre-
pared by committee for the purpose
This would be a training school fol
our musicians, such as they have never
possessed, and would supply to tht
other members weekly social even
of the most acceptable kind, one the
influence of which would be all fol
good. Philharmonic means, the frient
or lover of music, and such an organi
cation as we suggest would carry GU
the true purposes of society bearing
the word as its title.
The Either pieces by Miss Schaefer
meyer, Miss Mehl and Mr.. Mehl wer
quite unique feature of the concerts
the instrument being unknown to mos
OF our people. While this is true tn
either may be called the national in
strument Of Hungary and of several o
the German principalitiss. And il
the hearts of their people the sound o
its melodious strings awakens patrioti
thrills of which others know nothing
Played by master it is full of beauIi
full melody, and though Miss SchaefeI
meyer is quite young girl her rendi
nons We're very creditable aud brough
her very warm encores upon bot
evenings.
Mr.. Chiles in his vocal solo, "Fl,
Forth, y, Gentle Dove" Pinsuti, wol
quite an ovation. He appeared to b
in good voice and his execution, a.
ways accurate, was sympathetic.
\ Of Miss johanna KIlehn we will b
pardoned if we speak somewhat 9
length. Miss Kriehn is particular
our own, having been born in Lexine
