CoHCERT Ar THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
The concert of Saturday evening 1T the First
Raptst church, like that of last Thursday, was
of u character seldom witnessed i'll kichmOnd,
The music consisted OF some OF the best com
positions OF the great masters, ana was thcre.
fore Of u style which can be best appreciated
and enjoyed by those whose musical taste Is
most thoroughly cultivated. Ii is not the kind
which most readily catches and delights the
uncultivated popular ear. There are not Il
few who would br more charmed by the rem
dcrng Of Il Virginia reel by 4 negro yIolinlSt
than By tn" mastery performances OF PaSa-
nin-by the easily comprcdended songs, ac-
companied by the banjo and bones, OF Il band
OF blaCkcIcd faces, yclept negro minStrels-
than by the most refined rcnderinss Of the
most highly cultivated opera troupe. The
cultivation of Il musical taste is rs much
needed in order 10 the appreciation and ENJOY
mcut of the higher compositions OF the mas
terS as the cultivation of u literary taste IL To
the appreciation aud enjoyment OF the works
OF De Quincy and MacauIay.
The orgauiSts and musical amateurs OF
the city enraptured By the perform
anCcs it the same time all seemed Impressed
with ih' wonderful skill, finish, and distinct
ness OF the organ rcndrrinSs, and with The
clearneSs, sweetness, and expression OF some
of the vocal performances.
OF the organ itself we can only say that 1t
deserves The hi gh enCOmiums pronounced upon
il By the dis stinguiShcd orSanIsts who examined
il NJ the lnanutactory.
The lila irSDtS possess au unusual breadth
and richnrss Of tone, forming Il grand foun-
datiou for the mutation stops.
The mixtures are clear ring ing, free from the
raspiug effect so commonin American organs.
The J,e1 StOps are remarkably characteristic,
the great tT,impet possessing richness ana
splcndOr of effect 1t once bringing To mind the
real instrument ful-blown, and 10 this the
slreN trumpet gives IN admirable echo The
hd"tboy is distinguished by its peculiar express
SveneSs. The f'tes are also true 10 Their
character, especially the Fute harmoni11e, which
is " overblown : i'll imitation of the orchestral
flute. The lri SLrte.I J..t ttiupnSOnS are grand,
full, and satisfying and of a power ample for
the instrument but not oifcnsively loud. The
hphi HUte alone, or combined with the beH nOtu
III gu,tLn, is Il most charming solo stop.
One of the chief charms ot the organ Is the
beautiful cOacscing of few or many stops,
which enable performer TO give tone ana CO.
lorug in perfect imitation OF orchestral Ell
fccts. The cOTaO de bsSseiiO IS also noticeable
for It's fine in louation and clear imitation OF
