No. V.-BEFLECTIONS ON THE

BRASS BAND CONTEST.

IN my last article I only touched very

slightly on this question of the band con. test, in order not to prejudice the arrange-

ments that were then in preparation, hut as it is now an event of the past, I can speak of it more freely after my own way, and state my own estimate of it, for I do not wish to connect Messrs Schmidt, Owen Forrest, and Heath, with ari\ opinion to which they may demur. I.may Say, how ever, that I would be happy to agree with them, if not on all points at least pn some. The lirst enquiry that 1 made on entering the tent set apart for the judges was, " Why are we not placed in such a manner as to be enabled to see the competing bands, as that is the, practice everywhere in Europe?" Mr %chmitt, whose long sojourn in the colonies has rendered him familiar with their -linages, in formed me that it was done in order to keep us secluded from the partisans of the various competitors, as they might be able to in. fluence our decision, or at least to seem so. Not caring to prolong the discussion, I yielded the point without being convinced, at least in such a case.

It is incontestable that a competition of that kind loses much through not being carried out in a regular lpanner, that is to say, with the judges placed in full view oi the competitors, whero they coold,indepen. dently of their respective' observations on the collective execution of each band, note its bearing and style, general and particular, the chief's method of conducting, and indeed everything of material importance. Jn short, the judges should be allowed to utilise fully their faculties of hearing and seeing in order to arrive at a satisfactory verdict. Besides I find that there eeetns to have been Syks tain amount of distrust expressed in tho judges for acting under conditions that were imposed upon them, but I cannot believe that this is really so. i It is rumoured that the bands are not satisfied with the decision.. There is a pro verb which says that no one is able to pleaee everybody, and it is so true that it will hold good as long as the world exists. But earnest judges do not allow themselves to be swayed by any external consideration which mi^ht deaden their consciences, and affect the justice of their adjudication, knowing perfectly well that although in, the moment of defeat the vanquished in these peaceful tournaments are always galled, yet that in the end they.recognise the impartiality of the judges. Generally, the masses judge according to the impres. sions made upon them at the time. During the execution of a waltz or polka movement I noticed some ladies who were quite ready, under the stimulus of the music, to commence dancing. It is evi dent that if one had chosen the arbiters' from amongst them they would have entranced with the waliz, declared for the band that executed it, etc., but I and my worthy colleagues, who have crown old in harness, have been, through long years of experience, rendered insemibie to every thing that is outside the rules ot art, We had to judge according to the merit of each band, and not according to the selec- I tion it played, and the task was more difficult than one would be inclined to think.

la order that we may judge in a manner beneficial to the bands or societies that take part in a musical competition, and that we may be enabled to estimate their real capacities, it is absolutely necessary that all should perform the same piece; and in an even higher degree it is essential that a piece suited to the strength ot the bands should be played at first sight by each, of them, for it is only in this way that we can know if the persons of whom they consist are musicians, or merely mechanical execu tants who fulfil their parts in a routine and perfunctory manner. It was for this reason • that I remarked in my last article that the contest which has just taken place was rather premature, the necessary time for fulfilling all the conditions of a properly arranged competition not having been given.

Be that as it may, it is beyond doubt that the band which played second on Saturday last contains elements which the others do not possess, or rather the latter unfortunately possess some that are anta gonistic to the homogeneity which distin guishes the former. It is here, tnough in a much less exalted sense, that -we might well make use of Shakespeare's celebrated phrase, " To be or not to be?'—¥es, to be either brass band entirely or harmonic band (i.e., a military band) and until this question, is decided and acted on, it is impossible tor any instrumen tal society to execute good music. If it is to Tie a brass band, the balance of acute, medium, ami grave-toned instru ments must be well established. If, on the other hand, it is to be a military band (Musique d'harmonic) the clarionettes must at least form a quarter of its entire strength—that is to Bay, out of 24 performers 6 of them must bo clarionette players, without prejudicing the equilibrium - established for the brass bands.

If the instrumental bands of Auckland have not secured the first prize, that does not proceed, I am sure, from their indivi dual incapacity, but it certainly does from their bad organisation as bands. The in« stramental balance not being at all obier ved, the chords are incomplete and, in con* sequence, false—in spite of their fulness— from the moment when this very impor tant rule is not fulfilled'by instruments of the same timbre.

With the clarioncttes from the various 1 bands, a good military band could perhaps be formed, but scattered as they ate, wo i have neither the one thing nor the other, They are a kind of musical bastards, which 1 it is impossible to classify. In a symphonic orchestra two wind in* ; struraents of each sort suffice to {counter balance as many as 80 stringed ones on % account of tbe immense difference of the timbres. It cannot be the same when we deal with military bands composed exclu- : sively of wind instruments, for there each species must be complete in order that the chords may be complete also. notwithstanding the fact that the Auck land bands have failed to obtain the first prize, it must not be concluded that they are destitute of qualifications for figuring worthily in a more earnest and severe com- ■ petition, viz., one in which all the band's would be required to play the same piece, and in'this manner only is It possible to . I judge definitively of the respective strength of each of them. Therefore, let our bands not hold them ' selves beaten. Let them rather change their I organisation and continue to practise, and, 4 'we hope that the time is not very distant when they will be enabled to achieve a ■ | glorious reveDgje. ' As for the judgment of the contest on I Saturday last, it was given with- | unanimity, not one of the judges even dreaming of making the slightest T'\ qualificativo observation upon it, and m 1 am convinced that if we had given a con- ' • trary verdict we would have been twitted with and accused, both to our faces and | behind oar backs, of knowing nothing, about the subject, for, unless we lad been entirely ignorant of music, it was imposi sible for us to have made a different award, 1 Nevertheless I do not wish to close these ffl remarks without extending my hearty feli« m citations to the unsuccessful bands tor the 1 progress they have made einco I last hoard 1 them, I conclude by emphasizing the statement with which I commenced—"No 1 one can please everybody,"

To the Editor: Sir, —Will you kindly insert the following questions in the pages of your valuable paper, for the considers. of the judges in the late band contest :-It has been freely stated that you were offered copies of the pieces to be played, and that you refused them. This state* ment, I think, shonld not be made with out giving you an opportunity of denying its truth, or If true, of giving a satisfactory reason for your action. No doubt you will be ablc,&nd'willing to doeither one orthe other, Rule 4 reads : " Each band must play the , music as printed, and no re-arrangement whatever will be allowed." Thus it ap pears, to my mind, that you should have (printed) copies ot the selections to be played by each band, or otherwise you would ,not know whether or not the music had been re-arranged. Another thing that fseems strange is that the winning band should have the full com pliment of marksi So it would appear that you consider this bund is perfection itself. Perhaps you will be kind enough to ex plain this and oblige an interested public —I am, &c, Inqtjieeb.

rriTCHENS1 BLOOD RESTORER. We havo rooelved the following Testimonial unont this remoaj, iuiu publish it for general in (onuatlon, _~ h. D. NA'i'MAN & CO. "'"Auckland, January 12,1882. " Messrs L. D. Nathan te Co,, Auckland. "Kins,—l am fulfilling un argent request 0 Mrs Andrews, of Lord Howo'ij Island, in the Pacific, in stating to you and to Mr Kitchens the extraordinary euro made in her cbbo by the use of Ilitohons" Medicina Blood lteatorci. IJving on the Island, I am an oyo witness Of tho fact, and fool It a duty both to Mr Hitchena and to the general public to testify to the really wonderful i.lloct of that modlcino. " Mrs Anrtrowa was for four or flvo years a martyr to agonising pains In hor hip; medical raon calling it solatlea. Hlio lmd boon treated for ft by the several doctors of tho British mon o-war visiting tho Island from time to time, without tho slightest relief to tho intense pain. She was afterwards taken to Sydney, hoping for some rellot, if not a permanent cure, from treatment ot tho medical men of that cily. Sho was told she was suiFering from tho hip dloease, ndhor oaeo -was incurable. Without a ray Ot opo to lighten her luturo lite; pain and aes afr hßr constant attendants, her case was eally deplorable. Mr C. X. Ponder, the manager of the Guano Company at Lord Howo s Island, one day recommended her to try Hitchens' Blood Restorer, as tho remedy was 'ÜBt bocoming known at the Islands, through the advortisoment of Oppormano's cure, teatl flod to by tho German Consul. Mrs Andrews readily yielded to tho recommendation and sent for two bottles to Mr Hitchens, Auckland. Within three weeks after rmimt It she was able to rise and walk with tho use of tho crutch, and the pain in tho hip waa entiroly gone. Tho modlcino aotlon was truly marvellous, and her gratitude to Mr H itchono is expressed dally ia or prayers, thanking God for her relief. £s"lt is my firm belief that anothor two or three bottles — unfortunately not obtainable ■without long dolay—would have wrought such a complete euro us to make crutches unnoces sary. On my return to Lord Howe's Inland. I shall tnko a stack of tbia worn: orful medicine, so that a supply will never be quite out; for no words of mino can adoquatoly express my faith In its ourativo properties, aftor cooing the result of it In Mrs Andrew's Base. "I am, dear Slra, " i'onru faithfully, " Tnos. Bko. Diiah. Nicnms, "Mustor Mariner. I cnrlitr to tho correctness of the abovo In every particular. CrtAnr,KS E.
