tertainment given by the Choir of the Vine
street Presbyterian Church. at Marble Hall
last night, YES decided success in attend
ance, in pecuniary compensation, and in
the satisfaction given to the audience The
seats were comfortably filled by an attentive
and cultivated audience.
The persons present and participating in
the musical exercises were sixteen in num-
Der, viz: Messrs. c. G. Genung, George
Warren, R. Pabst, Hynes, Brickley, Housed,
c. Tileston, W. Tileston, DeLang, and Cur
nick, and Misses Liuck, Foster, S. E.
Phares, NJ. a. Phares, Ladd, and Bierbow-
er. Mr.. George Foster acted as general bust
ness manager and treasurer; Prof. Genung as
director.
A splendid piano-fortc from Healy &
Warren's was used in Accomplishments,
&c.
The following was the programme
Part FGrSt-1. Overture from the op-
era of Tancredi-Rossini composer Per-
formed on the piano by Prof. Pabst, accom-
panied by Prof. Warren on the violincello.
Well done, of course, by these two talented
artistes.
?. Anthem chorus, d" Let every heart re-
joice w Woodbury. composer. Full strength
of choir. Performance highly creditable to
all taking part.
3. Quartette, "Come where my love
lies dreaming Glover composer. PEI
formed by Misses Linck and Phares, Messrs.
Brickley and c. Tileston. Equal in execu-
ton to the music of most travelling vocalsts.
4. Song, 81 never can forget thee =
Madame Rive composer. Sung by Miss
Foster, in pensive style, appropriate to the
| sentiment, but with hardly enough vigor.
Miss F. has a very melodious voice, but she
lacks confidence in herself-a fault remedied
| by practice in public.
5. Quartette, CELIA Bell'-Hays CON-
poser. Sung by Misses Linck and Phares,
Messrs. Brickley and w. Tileston. Ex-
quisitely sentimental piece, full of jingling
words and scarce of ideas, but rich in sweet
sounds. Performed scientifically.
G. Chorus, " Fishermans Glee adapt
ed by Stevenson from Masaniello," if we
mistake not. All the voices, with piano
accompaniment. Correctly rendered, in
spring, and suggestive of a boat load OF
fishermen following their calling on some
fair Italian shore. Too romantic for the
Ohio River, n matter of-fact stream not
withstandngi it was called ala belle riviere /"
in the olden time.
7. Solo on the piano, GA life on the
ocean wave" arranged by Grobe. Per-
formed with taste by Miss Ladd. Abound
ing in difficult variations. Could be i'm
proved on by more careful practice, yet very
creditable to the player.
s. Musical dialogue, "Robin Ruff and
CATER Green" Russell composer), by Messrs.
C. and W. Tileston. Piano accompaniment.
Both voices are basso. Mr.. C. Us pro-
nunciaton was indist;nct; otherwise the
performance was skillful.
q Song, CLONE Of my heart (Harvey).
Sung by Miss Bierbower, with flexible
soprano voice, which danced amongst the
notes with much grace, yet sometimes
touched them too indefinitely.
TO- Quartctte (by Woodbury., Over the
fields of thymy blossom Sung by Misses
Foster and Phares, Messrs. Hynes and C.
Tileston Well done and received with ap-
plause-
II. "The old mans retrospect, song
composed and sung 10y Prof. Genung, accom-
panied by himself on the piano. Tune uni
form, sentiment melancholy, and not fully
understood owing TO indis;inct pronuncia-
ton. Yet very scientifically rendered.
II. Quartette, Gather the Beautiful
(Woodbury).. Sung by Misses Bierbower
and Phares, Messrs. Cnrnick and w. Tile
ston A pretty piece, given tastefully.
Is. Solo, "Not for gold or precious stones
(Hauser). BY Miss Ladd. Voice liquid
but weak. A little more spirit needed in
the singers performances.
IA Anthem chorus, "The earth is the
Lords" (Mason). By the whole choir
Grand, devotional, and elevating to the re.
ligious sentiment The harmony and time
excellent. -
Part Second-l. Sonata in B fiat, COM
posed by Mozart. Played on the piano by
Pabst, and on the clarionet by that must
cal genius, Warren. Execution almost per
lection. Audience highly delighted; SC
much so, that some enthusiastic gentlemen
not rejecting on the extreme length of the
programme, and the fact that there is linn
it to the endurance of the organs of sound
insisted vehemently on repetition. The
musicians very accommodating responded
to the request in their best style.
2. "Firemans Song" (Pelton), chorus
by the entire company, with fre-bell &C
compartment. Music lood, words heroic
and sound of that amalgum bell terrific
Audience became excited; enthusiastic gen
tlemen in back part Of house again en-.
