THE TYROLESE SINGERS, RAINE

• I
• s

These extraordinary Vocalists, consisting of four
brothers and a sister, performed on Saturday last, at
the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, and the Hall was filled
with what might be considered a scientific and musi-
cal audience. Soots alter three o'clock, the Singers ap-
peared on a platform, tastefully decorated in their na-
tional costume ;—the men wore mustachios, short regal
jackets, small hats with feathers, lialf.boots, and an or-1
natnented belt, which gave them a martial appearance.
The female was dressed as a Swiss peasant.
They sung a number of airs, harmonised fOr four
Voices ; while one voice was singing an accompani-
meat, resembling the upper tones of a French born, the
cokes was exceedingly plersant and novel. The bass
consisted of three notes, viz —the tonic, sub-dontintint,
and dominant (the key.ncte, the fourth, and fifth
above ity. And the melodies were confined to a very
leer notes, sometimes sung by one, ind sometimes by
another.

The most scientific performance Wig ant in which the
female sung a solo, which was taken up by one of her
brothers, and then the whole joined. This was ex-
tremely pretty, and war encored. The youngest bro-
ther gave a specimen of the accompaniment, which was
gi eery extraordinary exhibition, resembling a ter.or
voice .and a born, the voice touching a note, and the
horn playing three or four. This was encored also.
There appeared throughout a particalar passage, a
kind of a kao I or tirraloo / not unlike she well-known
liferriag #! of Moaner, the original of which they
sang extremely well. This must not be looked on as a
scientific performance, but as a very interesting speci-
men of national music, full of character and effect, and
well, worthy of being heard. The performance con-
cluded with God save the Xing, with the English words
the female singing the second, which was of course a
sixth above the melody; the words were pronounced
tolerably distinct.

A Mr. Isacra, in Berlin, pretends to have made the
important discovety that the whole world has beta
hitherto wrong in the calculation of the aristian era.
According to this ingenious Gentleman, the birth of
our Ba.viotra took place six years earlier than the vulgar
date; and that consequently the present year is not
1827, but 1833. As his reasons are not given, we.
c.innot judge of their validity; bet this we know, that.
strange opinions have been batched is the brains d;
erudite Germans. •
