Elijah.
, bendclssohn's sublime oratorio Of Elija
was produced last evening to very large uu
dience at Bryan Hall by the Musical ,.1nior
the solos taken as follows; Soprano, Mis
Annie" Main; alto, Mrs, Cassie Mattison
FEor Capt. sabin; lass, ]. G. Lunba;d
The chorus parts were well represented an
the orchestr2. full and cffectiye-the Who'll
conducted By Ba1atka.
Il Considerable interest attached to this tn
second rendition Of the oratorio By the So
/ cicty, from the fact that the soprano wa
taken By Miss Annie Main, a new candidat,
i for the favor 1T themusical public. The due
between The widow and Elijah upon the res
toration Of her son to life showed that sh,
could sing correctly and understood recitatiy,
well, but did not furnish true test of hcl
quality, as she was evidently reserYing hersel
for scyercr trials to come. But in the re-
sporscs Of the Youth her upper tones vert
clearand hute-like, leaving little room lol
doubt that when the test CAME she would sing
well. The grand aria commencing The second
part, "Hear &c, Israeli" furnished that test
and developed all the resources of her fine
voice. She sang it, especially the allegro, e1-
qnisitely, and commanded rs she deserved,
tue applause Of the audience. Her voice is
very clear ard sweet, and while lacking SOME
what in br.adth still has great compass and
| power. She is most decidedly fortunate ac-
| QUESTION to our resident soprano talent.
Mrs. Matteson looked the very queen Of
| song, and captiyated everybody with her
heavy, rich tones. Hor singing displayed
| careful study, and her solos were rendered
with great feeling and expression. The
"Rest in the Lord" was q perfect gem, and
| the marvellous sweetness and subIimity Of the
theme were not Injured by her rendition. 1t
will ranks one Of tho finest vocal efforts
ever given in Chicago, by our home singers,
End vastly superior to those Of many who
wear the title Of prima dsnna.
Capt. sabin sung with larger, roundcr
voice than We have heard him use before. The
Increase in power was marked, and with It
there Was no decrease in quality. The ari,
"H with all your Hearts, was most excel.
lently rendered, and all ofhis solos, as well as
his parts in trios aud quartettea, were sung
with great feeling and nicely Of execution,
