" THE PASSAGI OF THIS RED SBA.—Air. Hackett has been
very successful in the very difficult matter of combining ex-
pression with simplicty; his melodies are sweet and appro-
priate, and in the choruses he has felicitously united gran-
deur of sentiment with expressive harmony."—Standard,
July 18.

"THE PASSAGE OF THE ReD SEA.—The early portion
of the work, of which we have received a proof-sheet, com-
prises a recitative and chorus, followed by an air sweet and
flowing, and charmingly illustrative of the text; then suc-
ceed two recitatives, the latter of a very majestic character,
introducing a very spirited chorus, followed by the prayer
"God of the Poor." This beautiful invocation would alone
stamp the work as one of great merit. The remaining por-
tion of the work only requires to be kept up to the same
standard of excellence, in order to take a position in the
musical vrorldj of which both the composer and his fel-
low-townsmen may be justly proud."—lfereury, Sept. 11.
