affording our citizens a musical treat. People like your correspondent ‘A . Lover of Music,” who are so wonderfully clever, usually discover their own level when they come to try what they do under similiar circumstances, and { would recommend ‘A’ Lover. of Music ” in matters of this kind, if he can- not say something in approval to just hold his tongue. Il feel assured that all who had the good fortune to be present at the concert were delighted, and as you remark editorially, ‘‘ were scarcely prepared for the excellence of rendition exhibited,” and will impatiently wait the next performance of the Society, as promised by their clever instructur, Rev. Mr, Lioyd. Yours, &c., Anotuer Lover or Music. Charlottetown, Dee. 21, 1889.

——— >---—_—

Sir,—A letter purporting to be a criti- cism upon the recent Philharmonic con- cert the production of a **Lover of Music,’ in our midst, appeared in your columns last night. Itais, doubtless, a well-inten- tioned effort, and kindly meant; but its amiabjlity, contradictions and other weak- nesses, to some of which 1 ask your per- mission to refer, render it absolutely value- less. Capable criticism, | am sure, our flourishing Philharmonic Society will al- ways welcome; but, if your correspondent wishes to be considered its frend, he had better place himself under a strict course of musical training before assuming the role of a critic of its performances,—and further, make manly efforts to increase his stock ot adjectives. ** Nicely,” ** pleas- ing” and ** pretty” are all excellent and highly useful little words in their places; but they are just as appropriate to the connection in which they are used by your correspondent, as he is in the capacity of a musical critic. To spoak of the late Sir William Sterndale Bennett’s cantata as ‘* pretty,” is an insult both to its distin- guished composer, who died (although ** A Lover of Music” thinks he still lives) in 1871, and also to that large number of ewi- nent musicians, including Sir John Stainer, who regards ‘‘ The May Queen” as the most beautiful pastoral in existence. That our critic should have heen ‘‘disappointed ” in it is easily understood. Indeed, it would have been wonderful had it been otherwise in the case of one endowed with such won- derful insight as he.

And now as to his criticism upon the soloists. lam sure the Rev. Mr. Lloyd must have felt gratified te hear that his voice is improving. But before I pass on, | hope that gentlemen will pardon me if J suggest that he place himself under the tution of our talented friend. lie ‘‘thinks” he ‘‘detected a little un- certainty ” in the singing of the Venerable Archdeacon Jones, 1 know no such uncer- taintly existed, but the soloist was suffer- ing from slight huskiness. Mrs. MacLeod’s vocal abilities are beyond criticism, and on this particular occasion she even enhanced her already high reputation. In describing the singing of Mrs. Roome as “‘ strangely rough” even ‘*on one or two occasions,” your correspondent reaches the climax of absurdity, as the various portions of the cantata allotted to that lady were rendered with much sympathy and refinement, her distinct enunciation being remarkable. Miss Barrett has sung at concerts in Eng- land on frequent occasions and the charge that she was nervous at the Philharmonic concert is unfounded. Professor Caven’s words may have been some times indis- tinct, but f am sure that that worthy gentleman will be mystffied to know what your correspundent means by the terms, ‘the mixed his words just a little once Sor twice.” For the soloist’s innu- merabje defects, which exist only in ‘A Lover of Music's” imagination, the acous- tic properties of the Philharmonic Hall are blamed, He ought to know that the build- ing is perfect in this respect. The positions of the leading characters in ‘fhe May Queen,” | am authorized to state, were de- termined by the conductor, whose ability has not escaped the notice of our critic. Phe fact that he should have thought well of the Carnovale, whose opening words are ‘‘We are beggars struck with blindness,” is Very suggestive ;—but I rafrain.
