CHORAL SOCIETY’S CONCERTS.

TO THE EDITOB. Sir, —It is rather amusing to not© how anxious “ Choirester ” is to berate me on the deficiency ho chooses to assume that I have shown in knowledge of the laws of harmony, “ Choirester,” I would gently suggest, show's at any rate a sad lack or knowledge of ordinary English. He probably intended to use the nom de plume of “ Chorister ” —a singer. The other word is a stranger to the dictionary. I do not fancy that he can sing a note, however, but probably blows the horn in the orchestra. He must have been in a very exhilarated state of mind when he pictured a kettle standing on three legs, and, further, had the idea of using it as an illustration of the laws of harmony. But I would kindly remind him that it is not to enjoy the delicious harmonies of the orchestra’s music that the public attend Choral Society concerts. • They would much prefer to enjoy the singing of the choir, with a subdued accompaniment as a fitting setting to the vocal effects of the singers after their weeks of steady preparation. To put the matter In a nutshell, there is too much noise and too little harmony in the accompaniments of the orchestra.—l am, etc., Subscribed. June 11.
