Band music is studied at music club meeting American composers of band music provided the theme for a very interesting program of the Abbotsford Music Study and Choral Club, held Tuesday evening at the home of Mrs. Vern Steffen.
Beginning with Patric Gilmore, band leader during the Civil War period, Mrs. Steffen followed through with the life and compositions of John Phillip Sousa, the march king, and his successor, Edwin Goldman. The program closed with a review on Theoore Steinmetz, of Marshfield, who died last October at the Veteran’s Home at King. With the help of recordings and wire recordings, parts of the program were illustrated. “Marching Along,” “Sabre and Spurs,” and the “U.S. Field Artillery March,” by Sousa, “Aloutte,” and “On the Hudson,” by Goldman, and the “32nd Division March,” by Steinmetz, were played.
The next meeting will be April 15, at the home of Miss June Kennedy.
