The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1867-02-21


THE CONCERT last night, at the Citadel Square
Baptist Church, was most distinguished success.
Although much was expected, no one we believe,
was disappointed. .Fhe church was hlled by one
Of the most appreciatiye audiences we have ever
seen in Charleston, and the sacredness Of the
place forbid them to give loud and repeated ap-
plause to the many mastery performances Of the
evening. The. clergy were largely, represented,
and, as was meet, occupied the seat Of honor.
Their presence lent solemnity to the occasion, and
| doubtless exercised q wholesome influence.
Mr.. G. o. ROBINSON, the maestro, has every rea-
son to feel grated with the eaat that crowned his
long and labcrious efforts in arranging this con-
cert. The programme was well selected; the voices
admirably chosen and well adapted to their several
parts; the choruses, evidently, had been thorough
" studied, and we're excellently sung. BE has
thus added another stone to the edifce Of a long
and well-earned reputation.
a.. T. D. RuDDooK was the organist Of the
evening, and added no little to the interest Of the
occasion. The organ is very superb instrument,
by far the largest and finest in the city, and Mr..
R. showed it off in all its power. Hemadait equal
to large and wellappointed band Of many and
varied Instruments in turn Stimulating all of them,
both separately. and together. His acco1npani-
ments were the admiration Of every connoisseur
present. The two solos, Scum Sancto spiritu, ;"
and RMKs Concerto, were played with spirit and
elan, if we may be pardoned so unm usical term.
The several ohoruses were well chosen, and
rendered with great spirit. An adept by. our side
specially admired the Alto voices, that were soft
owaat nafhatic clear and distinct
The Solo "Qas 7btlis," from HAYDN's Sd MASS,
offered fine scope for Mr.. WooDsERRY's splendid
bass, Of large volume and Of great compass.
Tho Solo in the "Quonsana" Of the same Mass
was sung by Mrs. CHASE, whose soprano is sweet,
clear and mellow.
. OF the Recitai We and Aria s'With Verdure
Clad, from seThe Creation we have never heard
better or more pleasing Interpretation than was
given last night by Madame P1ENaE. She is clear
ly an artistic both Of fine talent and large and in
dustrious cultivation. She sings with much ex-
preston, and invariably carries her audience along
witt her. On hearing her excellent conception Of
HADgN last night, We no longer wondered that she
had earned the enthusiastic plaudits of some Of
the most highly cultivated audiences in Germany.
She again gave evidence Of her powers of pleasing
in the Solo Of and in the Duett Graceful
Consort" from s'The Creation" which she seng
with MIR. IssERrEL.
Mr.. IssERTE1 has one Of the sweetest bass voices
to be met with. He reads music well, and gives
fine, clear notes, and withal has voice Of large
compass. He did himself great credit. There is
one feature specially in his singing that pleased
US. His enunciation is clear and distinct, and
every word is heard inteligently-a quality not
usual with scientific yocalists.
The length Of our comments admonishes us that
we must bring them to close. Our thanks, and
those of the entire audience, are due to MI. Rob-
NsoN, and his corps Of assistants, for the very
splendid entertainment they afforded us last even
ing. We have heard Of many who were unavoida-
bly, prevented from attending last night and who
are very anxious Mr.. R. should give repeti-
ton Of this concert at an early day. We throw
out this suggestion for his consideration.
Few CAN imagine the popularity gained by MARS

arises, why should it have become so2 The only
