The Mozart Society,s Concert.

The Concert of the Worcester Mozart Society, at Sa-
lem street Church on Monday evening was an exhbi-
ton highly credabe to the musical talent of this CITY
Few communities, we think could furnish better per
ormance OF music OF high order, within themselves
especially alter so short practice. We were particu
'ary struck with the number of fine voices brought TO-
geher and with the general precision and accuracy of
the performers. The direction BY Mr.. Hamilton was
excellent, and the orchestral accompaniment. tbouob
small, effective and in fine TASTE The Piano bv Mr.
Allen was played with the beauty and finish which
mark the efforts of this superior pianist
we may venture perhaps, in our love of this divine
art, a few words Of more particular criticism.
The first portion of the Concert was promiscuous
The opening chorus of Mozart, elbow beautiful, unoo
'e Mountains struck us as the poorest performance
oil The evening 1t lacked promptness, emphasis and
spirit and had not been sufficiently rchearsed The or.
chesra was defective in this chorus The Quartetto
which followed one Of Mr.. Hamilton's comros;,;ons
"Come unto me-" is pleasing, and has some fine poips
But VIII not compare, in judgment, with one bv
the same author, later in the evening, and was. how
ever well sung by four superior voices in excellent har
nony. The Soprano, perhaps, lacked prominence.
The Duet, which followed Shaw's fayorite. "B;rd
let loose,' was Of the attractions of the evening
II was sung by two Of the best voices in the Society
and we have seldom heard sung SO well. The sopra.
no was rendered with great purity Of tone, and was adj
mrab sustained better than any thing else by the
same voice. The Tenor could hardly have been more
flexible and graceful. The chorus, which succeeded.
had some OF the defects the first but not so striking
flanders chornses are great study. The next, a
Qnntette by Garcia, we did not much admire. Itacks
character But the Quarteite which followed by Ham
"'0n' was one Of the chief enoyments Of the evening to
