The Symphony Concert last night, had attached to it a sentiment which served to heighten in no small degree, the pleasure which its own beauty would have given. Mr. Nikisch chose the evening's music with the special idea of making it a memorial to Mr. Lowell, and no better choice could have been made, to bring back to mind the variety of gift and emotion which characterized his nature. The Symphonies, especially Beethoven's, are eminently human in quality, and it is due to just this fact, that they inspire so much feeling in people. There was an evident fitness in this music, in which the passions, the hopes, the joys, and disappointments of life, are so strangely intermingled, and especially did the fitness show itself, in the ending of the last number where the imaginative mind readily sees, as the composer intended, the triumph of an individuality over circumstance, the quiet close of a life lived in harmony with the good, and discord with the bad. This service, so suggestive, so symbolic of the beauty of Mr. Lowell's life, must have deepened the feeling of reverence and love which Harvard and Cambridge have felt for the student and poet.
