Omaha daily bee., 1897-06-13


II the plan outlined in The Bee Of Sun
day, February IA, and which embraced the
organization Of small chorus in each OF
the larger towns within 200 miles of Omaha
and their Capitalization here during the eX-
position, were carried out and the National
Academy were to hold its convention organ
iZe its classes and carry out Mr.. Green's
suggestions, making II a sort of summer
school, 1t is very evident that the exposition
and the academy would work together for
their mutual advantage. The academy would
bring to the exposition a large corps OF
the leading music teachers and performers
of the country, and numerous pupils from
a greater distance than the influence Of the
exposition could possibly reach. The eX-
position would have to hand large chorus.
representative Of the vocal ability OF all the
middle-west, and a fine orchestra, to as
sist in public performances, anf to give the
numerous students attracted by the academy
an opportunity to hear great works properly
performed. The standing of the musical de-
partment of the exposition would be raised
TO the plane of high. artistic excellence, and,
as an educator. as source of culture to the
sons and daughters Of the middle-west, il
would be an irresistible power and an epoch
maker in the musical history of America.
The academy, as outlined by Mr.. Green,
needs just such an aggregation Of people
and enthusiasm as the Transmississippi EN-
position will furnish, and the exposition will
need just such a convention OF great mu-
sicianc, learned essayiss and lecturers. eX-
perienced and famous teachers and talented
and cultivated performers as will be en-
braced in the membership of the academy.
1t is desirable on the part OF the ex-
position that manufacturers of musical in
struments should find it TO their advantage
to make large exhibits. This they will not
do unless they deem it probable that they
will appeal TO a clientele interested in
musical matters With the musical depart
ment a prominent feature and in co-opera-
ton with the national association, they will
have ample reason to expect a large attend
ance of musicians. amateurs and others
musicaly interested.
When the people of Denver desired to Sc
cure the convention of the association in
the state the mayor, the city council and
Board OF Trade. The musicians of the city
also Joined heartily in the invitation.
New York, being the metropolis OF the
United States, and possessing, as il does, al
most unlimited resources, has been able to
offer to the association unprecedented ia
clites for the holding OF its meetings and
the giving of its performances. II has placed
al the associations disposal fine chorus,
well-trained orchestra and a magnificent con-
cert hall In the city churches are some Of
the finest organs in the world; in the Hud-
son river, New York harbor. Riverside park
and the Grant monument, High, Brooklyn
and Washington bridges, Central park and
miles Of thronged streets and stores filled
with everything that heart could wish for,
are attractions to be found in few other
cities on the globe, With these Omaha and
the exposition must compete, and when the
invitation TO hold its next meeting in Omaha
Is formally presented to the association its
fate will depend very largely upon what
Omaha and the exposition have to offer.
With fine chorus well-trained orchestra
and large and comn Jilous concert hall
available for performances and public meet
ings, and smaller halls suitable for class
work and lectures; with manifold treasures
OF art, science and commerce gathered to-
gether from all the world. and with a hearty
welcome and profound interest in musical
matters Omaha and the exposition may en-
ter valiantly into the field with the other
American cities sure 10 be bidding for this
great organization. and even in the heart
OF Greater New York hope eXpectantly for
success. HOMER MOORE.
