Excerpt from The American Orchestra and Theodore Thomas Without sounding the ever-ready pipe of vainglory, we may justly affirm that in one division of representative art the Amer ican achievement has gone beyond debate. The grand orchestra is now' more than our foremost cultural asset; it has become our Sign Of honor among the nations. Even if sceptical or scorn-f ful about our other endeavors, the world assigns to this a verity of excellence. Starting so much later than the rest and starting handicapped, we seem, despite shortcomings and our own in credulities, to have developed the orchestra above the average attainment. If we lag about other arts, we lead in this. Forty years or so have set down most of the visible signs of this gracious growth.

Two bands, one leader, and an interest so small it seemed to pessimist's' a'higher power of nothing may be counted as the sorry whole of our performance in that year. In many places were small groups of instrumentalists that played together unstably and were regarded by most of their fellow townsmen as partly insane; in many-places there was for vocal music a large, sincere, and always expanding devotion. But beyond two bands and one leader, the thing we know now as the grand or symphony orchestra functioned chiefly to the ear of hope.
