The r,r.. rh,lh.rmon,e Concert

The first concert OF the forty-seventh
season Of our honored and venerable society.
the "Philharmonic." took place last evening.
Its programme was almost entirely made up
from compositions Of modern writer's. three
mon who are of this present generation being
represented. These were Wagner. Goldmark.
dnd Dvorak. and they divided pretty equally
between them the time Of performance.
One OF the solid excellences Of Philharmonic
concerts consists In their we'll chosen length.
They never vary from the prescribed duration
OF 1.-Two hours and in this time Just about the
right amount OF music to be easily and prop
erly digested at ono sitting can be received.
According to old custom, the concert last even
ing commenced with an overture-one which.
At the period when it WAS written. stood above
this date, also compares faroraby In dignity

is always creditable. and there can be no doubt
OF the fact that In this composition worthy
addition to musical literature has been made.
DrOrak's wild strains awaken moro enthu-
siasm. In respect to constantly increasing
tone splendor. the programme was last night
most cleverly built. ior its brlliiancy grew grew
stronger with each succeeding piece. The
symphonic variai'ns tDvorakl :, are twenty

oldest musical effects and most bizarre phrases

accomraniments had been prepared by Mr..

to the beauty OF the songs. but displayed that
strong musical feeling ind Imagination which
Mr.. Thomas makes constantly visible by his
readings and renderings.
