CHORAL SOCIETY PROGRAMMES.
TO THE F.mTim. Sir,—Your correspondent “ Subscriber,” who criticised the composition of the Choral Society orchestra, evidently knows little about orchestras or orchestrations, let alone harmony, A
kettle stands on three legs. Take away one leg, the kettle falls. A composer requires certain notes to complete a, chord. One note missing makes the chord incomplete. Had the Choral orchestra had hut one cornet and one trombone many chords would have been spineless and insipid. A few lessons in harmony would prevent your correspondent writing about matters which his letter proves ho is entirely ignorant of.—l am, etc., Cjioiresteh. June 10.
