day evening, will long remain in the
memory OF the music lovers who
heard and enjoyed it. The Tuesday
Musical club made a most fortunate
choice when it decided to present
these Artists to Omaha, and il ever
they should return to charm us
again, there is no doubt as to their
reception. Every number was
warmly encored, and the closest of
sympathetic attention followed each
part OF the program. Personally we
almost feel that we owe an apology
to the flute. We only know it in
i more or less superficial way, but
we have always considered it a more
or less superficial instrument, a sort
of laxative empty-headed type Aof
frivolous musical femninity, which
sometimes coquetted with the voice
of a coloratura, or sometimes gem
thy sympathized with a tender instru-
mental sentiment, but an instrument
with never serious idea in its head,
usually gushing enthusiastically
about some theme which it has dis
covered in some other part of the
orchestra. But Mr. Barrere may have
an exceptional flute and he certainly
is an exceptional flute player-hute
artist, is a better title Exquisite
lrills. actual tone color, and dynam-
les which we never before knew were
possible to this instrument greeted
cur ravished ears, and made us
acknowledge many things we had
not known before. Ut was more like
a violin. We never heard anything
like it before
The difference in the wind in
strument, the instrument played
with the bow, and the plucked
string instrument, and the charac-
teristic timbers and range of tone
and the possibilities in each made
their ensemble full 'of a variety of
effect, and yet all with a unity that
rcver tired, but always charmed the
listener. At times it was simply
delicious. No other word exactly
expresses it.
Sometimes, we find our powers Of
reviewing concert are limited. We
can write up the customary concert
with a right merry jangle of type
writer keys, and not lose much
sleep. But occasionally what we
hear is almost too bad for our
straight and narrow vocabulary, and
other fines like Thursday night
it is too good for our straight and
narrow vocabulary, and for our
ioiee OF verbal association Some
concerts to be properly reviewed
should be reviewed by a poet, who
can use words with the same sense
of value and color, in expressing
himself as the musical artists have
used in expressing >their music. It
is great game, being musical
editor. The artist in writing as i'll
music is the one who has at his COM
mand the widest range of expression
aud the greatest judgment in the use
Of his words.
