“The music was of the first order. Lander led his orchestra of 60 pieces, and the veteran Grafulla, at the head of 40 of his best artists, conducted the music of his military bands; and these two magnificent choruses, like many-mouthed amoebeans, answered one to another the whole night long in strains of most delicious harmony.” Includes titles of some of the music performed at the time of Prince Arthur’s arrival.
“As the Prince stepped to the front, the band choked off a merry polka, and struck up ‘My Country ‘tis of Thee,’ followed by “The Red, White, and Blue.”’
