a large, critical and refined audience
was treated to musical treat at the
tabernacle in this city last evening.
The audience went out to the raber-
nacle and DE LOery concert expecting
much and came away more than salts
fed, the people came away delighted,
knowing aud feeling that they hadheard
m 0re aud better music than they had
anticipated they would hear; they came
away with the conviction resting
heavily upon them that they had just
attended high toned, classical and as
near faultless musicale az it eyer falls
to the lot of song loving humanity to
attend.
NJ. and Nine. de Loery, late of Provo
now of Salt Lake, assisted our
own brilliant artists to charmingly
entertain a home audience OF
highly cultured people; they
not only did this but, they have again,
and with more telling effect. taught the
people here the great Importance and
necessity of carefully training our own
wonderful musical talent with which
we are SO abundahtly supplied.
Great credit is due Professor Giles,
who conducted the concert, r. RIryine,
who managed its getting up and its
finances, and all the artists who worked
so faithfully and so earnestly for the
grand success that was achieved.
The concert was indeed grand sue
cess artistically; it was also success
| financially.
Of the program, too many words OF
praise cannot be spoken for each and
every number. The opening chorus by
the choir, God OF Israel" was indeed
well rendered. This is selection of high
class oratorical music usually rendered
with three hundred or more selected
voices. Considering the number OF voices.
in our choir, the rendition OF the piece
last evening was mastery and Conduct
or Giles is deserving of unstinted praise
| for the hard work he has, with the choir,
put upon this piece. The orchestral
parts were well arranged, there was
nothing whatever lacking except
strength and volume. However, a
keenly observing musical critic might
say that the tenors were rather weak
in comparison with the other parts.
Messrs. W. d. ROBBERS, jr., Monte
Roberts, j ohm K.Allen and LIB barton,
outsdid themselves in ''Sleep on and
Rest" scramble. They surprised and
delighted their audience. Their
voices were sweet and blended most
charmingly. Their work of last night
was equal to the best siGging that was
ever done by any quartette in Provo,
and on taking their seats were accorded
most vigorous encore. The boys re-
spOnded with sweet negro melody
beautifully rendered.
Prof. w. E. Gilman's clalonet solo
was brilliant surprise. We had ex-
pected much from this gentleman, but
we received more. HIS first solo, air
varie Coming Thro' the Rye" a
beautiful arrangement by E. Thornton,
was rendered in such finished, artistic
manner as no Provo audience has even
before heard. In playing wind in
strument most musicians lack for
breath and gasp occasionally, giving
peculiar reedy effect to their playing.
Professor GIlman's work is entirely
devoid of ali this. His phrasing
is perfect, his work is superb. He in
deed has wonderful lung capacity as
well as finished musical education.
The professor was heartily encored and
responded with verp pretty selection,
