WORCESTER MUSIC MEETING.
\roues:yr Elt, SEPT. 16.—The Meeting of the Triple
Choirs of Worcester, Gloucester, and Hereford, being to be held
at the former place for the present year, commenced yesterday.
The beautiful state of the weather, the close ofapropitious har-
vest, ',and the expectations which have been held out that the
Meeting is to excel all the former efforts of the united Choirs,
have created for it an unusual interest ; so that the appearance
of the town is exceedingly animated and gay. The perform.
antes commenced with a service in the Cathedral yesterday, in
which was introduced the " Dettingen Te Dem," and a 3lis-
cellaneous Concert at the College Hall in the evening. The
list of performers comprises a far greater body of talent, as well
in the vocal as instrumental departments, than has hitherto as-
sisted at these festivals. Mrs. Salmon, Miss Stephens, Miss
Travis, Roue de Ilegnis and her husband, Brahani, Vaughan,
Knyvett, Bellamy,&c. appeared in the former; and the latter is
graced by the names of Cramer, Mori, Lindley, Dragonetti,
1 and a large portion of the most celebrated instruments in the '
Metropolis. We understand that the public are indebted to the
spirited exertions of Mr. Charles Clarke, the Conductor, for
these extensive improvements in the formation of the vocal corps
and band.—The Concert was attended by a large audience, al-
though not a sufficient one to fill the immense building in which
it is held. The College Hall is of great antiquity, Gothic, and
without a ceiling, the roof being of great altitude. Some of the
forte instrumental effects are very fine, but the room is, on the
whole, not advantageous to the conveyance of sound.—The se-
lection was pleasing, without possessmg any striking features.
Beethoven's fine Overture to Egmont, and the magnificent
one of Mozart toll Flauto Magico, preceded the two Acts, and
were executed with vigour and precision. Miss Travis opened
the Concert with the Scotch ballad of " Donald," some parts
of which she sang with delighthil expression. Braham followed
