MUSICAL MENTION.

| NOW t1dC lne season luT p''i''i
| concerts is at hand there is consd-
cradle discussion among musicians and mu-
| sic lovers as to the character of the pro-
| grams that should he offered. The idea, of
| course is that the selections should be SO
made as to appeal to every phase Of must
cal taste but that neither the extremely
| classical nor the rag-time should predom-
mate. The opinion has been expressed that
| IL ere should be a more frequent of
| OF cratic selections than is customary An
OF cratic overture represents something
tangible work that perhaps majority
| Of the listeners have heard entire or in
part. and the same is true of selections
from an opera. Those who have heard the
| work recognize it at once and are glad;
those to whom the number is new receive
| an education in a certain sense, and will
| take the first opportunity to hear the whole
opera. What is objected to is the too lavish
| use of descriptive" pieces, which do not
describe anything and usually very in
coherent.

One cause OF qualification in a review of
the musical season of 1s99-19O0 is the num-
| Der and high character of the artists
brought here by the different local societies
| to assist in their concerts. The Choral So
| cety has given Nine. Gadski Marguerite
| Hall. Fielding Rosselle. Sara Anderson,
Louise Bond. Mary Helen Howe David
BlSpham. Myron whitney, Jr, and Julian
Walker The Damrosch Society has fur
nished Marie Brema,. Vladimir De Pach-
mann and Giuseppe Campanari, and the
| Saengerbund brought Ciementine De We're
and David Names. This forms a very good
| collection for one season. and to prove that
| the public supports such efforts it need only
be stated that all these local organizations
have come out with balances in the treas.
ury. -
