Mr.. DRAPERs SACRED CONCERT.
pretty large audience attended the first sacred
cert at Irving Hall last night The organ described
before in the HERALD heard for tho first time In
this hail. and under the skful touch Of Mr. William A.
King, pealed forth It's magic with wonderful effect
Mr.. King Is accomplished artist and his voluntares
show talent and discrimination. II would be an
Improvement however II the organ part OF tho pro
gramme were more varied and interesting There IL,
fortunately too much sauencss the vountaries Of
organists Their choice OF theme seems TO be con
fined to class Of pieces, and when they &c,
hold OF nursery rhyme they ring changes on
IL I'D nauseam. The vocal selections were OF
very choice character ard in general well rendered
Miss Lconte young debuinte sang the soprano solos
OF the evening She has fresh clear ringing voice,
under good CONTROL only deficient In cvcnness and
sesiheic rcposc. It Is - common falling with our young
sopranos 10 indulge little spasiaodc oubursts Of
FIRE passsgcs This may be productive OF start
ling effects bu, leaves di-agrceabc impression be
hind Mic Norton, who sang the contralto pieces In
place of Miss Gomien, genuine artist, both in voice and
rendering She gave lie salye Iesua Of Lichs admira
BILE style Miss Lucia Dean rendered the mezzo soprano
part in an ireproschsbie manner. Mr William Castle
Is too well known 10 need rcmark here We have spoken
Of him before In the HER.rn. The most disagreeable
part of tho concert was the mutilation OF Gonnod
Pfeso u Gume Srdni.r. Tho chorus bungled II In sad
manner the entirely overshedowing the basso,,
and complete wan, OF unani,ny IN time being shown
by the sopranos and the aos. We have Seldom heard
the evercharming and never tircsome qusrteitei
Strength oi the Holy Virtue Divine by Rossin sung
with more heartfelt tenderness and expression then at
the concert last night The male qusrettes we're mex
ceptionabie bat the chorus was irrcdeemabIy bad
Mines &ogniaea perfec, chaos, out Of which
was impossible cxtrcate one idea of the author with
more efficient chorus and greater variety Of organ
pieces we doub, not that Mr Diapers series OF ssrcd
concerts will prove success.
