The tabernacle choir will leave Sun
] day morning for Manti, where it will
! give a sacred concert in the evening,
and will return Monday as far as
Provo where it will give concert.
Presumably the choir will render some
of the pieces which were given here at
! its two very successful concerts.
] Manti and Provo are to be congratu-
! lated, as it is no idle boast to say that
! this choir has reached stage of pro-
| ficiency second only in Utah to that of
the Salt Lake choir which it closely
rivals. Practice, long, constant, hard
and scientific under the direction of
that bright young composer and di-
rector, Squire Coop, has made the
choir very efficient
The Ogden tabernacle choir has
made all arrangements to go to Manti
next Sunday. The organization will
give sacred concert in that city on
Sunday evening and ON its return trip
will give a. concert Monday night in
Provo. The choir has made great pro-
gress since its organization, due to the
constant and systematic practice under
4 the able director and talented COM
poser, Squire Coop. The two concerts
given here were very successful es-
pecially from a musical point of view
and if, as is probable, the same pieces
are repeated in the cities mentioned a
rare treat is in store for their lovers
of good music. Sousa, it will be re-
membered, gave the chorus some warm
words Of praise at the time of his visit
here and since that time the member
ship has been increased and the chorus
improved by constant practice
