FESTIVAL OF THE THREE CHOIRS.

• HEREFORD, TVIIIIDA'f.
The Hereford triennial musical festival opened
this morning most auspiciously. An unclouded sky and a
cool bracing breeza tempted people to be early astir, and
there was consequently a very large attendance at the
early morning service at the cathedral, with which, as we
have already explained, tLe festival may be said to be inau-
gurated.

The oratorio was Mendelimbo's Elijah, which is now so
regularly performed at the provincial music meetings
that it becomes tiresome to criticise. It is now as
familiar as the strains of the Messiah, and we shall
only briefly notice this morning's execution where
there was any novelty in the introduction of new
principals. For the first time, then, Miss Louisa Pyno
appeared at this festival to-day as principal soprano,
and Mr. Madera Smith took the tenor airy and recitatives
in the first part, including the air, "If with all your
heart," Mr. Sims Reeves only taking the tenor music
in the second pert, upon the same principle, we sup-
pose, as the Lest wine is supplied at feasts to the
sated appetite. Mr. Smith, however, sang the great air in
evnlleat taste. He is always correct, but lacks the feeling
which Reeves infuses into the tenor airs in the oratorio.
Miss Louisa Fyne greatly surprised us by the manner in
which she sang the different pieces allotted to her, which
included the air, "Hear ye, land ;" the trio, " Lift thine
ern," "must &Poway rendered by her, Mrs. Wein, and
Madame Santa Dolby ; and the duet, " What have I to
do with thee?" She got through the whole of the music
allotted to her as if she had been singing it all her life, and
her dePrut at this festival to-day has shown that
she will be a valuable acquisition in this par-
ticular walk of the musical art. Mr. Weiss re-
sumed his old place in the representation of the Prophet.
The choruses were very effective for so comparatively small
• body, and only exhibited here and there a little uosteadi.
OWL At the doors of the cathedral, after the oratorio, the
following ladies and gentlemen received the donations fur
the charity :—Lady Bateman and Lord W. Graham, Lidy
Augusta Fiennes and the Hon. H. C. Hanbury, Hon. Mrs.
Webb and the Hon. Arthur Hanbury, Mrs. Hampden and
Mr. Chandos Wren Hoakyns, the Countess Teleki and the
Rev. E. Hampden, Mrs. Lena Freer and Mr. Berwick lot
held, M.P., Lady Hastings and the Rev. John Hopton,
Lady Emily Foley and Lord Bateman, Lady Curtis and
Mr. J. Arkwright, the Hon. Mrs. A. Banbury and Sir W.
Curtis, Mrs. Dawes and Sir W. Hastings. The collections
were as follow :—After early morning service, ria/. ha. rd. ;
after the oratorio, 172/. Os. 3d. ; total, 2211. Ss. aL The
attendance at the oratorio was between 500 and 000.
