The concert Of the Handel and Haydn
Society, to be given in the Hanover street
church this evening, will not, of course, be
forgotten by our citizens. Apart from th e
object of the concerto swell the Sanitary
fund of the Delaware Department, at tn
approaching great Fair-the talent employ
ed for the occasion should insure completes
success. The members of the Society are,
all Delawareans, and have studied music
not as means Of livelihood, but for the love
and admiration they entertain for it,
and which the spirit of melody has
awakened in their breasts. At the head
Of this organization stand such names rs
GaoBE-a gentleman of worldwide renown
as a musical composer-LI -LIoHTENsTEIN, whose
very soul seems to dwell in the temple of the
melting Goddess. FuLMRR, whose nmble
fingers turn 10 melody almost everything
they touch. STEIGLER, PicEeIs and others
whose entire lives have been devoted to the
stndy Of music as an accomplishment. All
the females connected with the Society and
who will appear this evening, are ladies I'LL
ing honorable positions in private life, and
in nowise connected pecuniarily with any
public musical organization. Most if not all
Of them are members of one or another OF
the various church choirs of our city, and il
is from combination of this sacred music
element of the several churches that the
Handel and Haydn Society first came into
existence.
We had the pleasure Of being present ant
listening to several of their rehearsals for the
Concert of this evening" and can therefore
assure our readers that for precision
harmony, power of voice, clearness of arli-
eulation sweetness of melody and simplicit
of style, they will compare iayorably wit
some Of the distinguished scientific per
formers Of the day. There is nothing {
the fantastic operate style about their sinl
ing, but every part isrendered with studie
desire to preserve the true spirit of III
music and at the same time do no vic
lence to the language or sentiment Of Il
song by mutlating asyllable here and SIN
thering a sentence there in order to show ,
hourishes.
Those who may hear the performances Il
evening, will we feel sure, be pleased vi
and applaud them.
