The Grand Sacred Concert at the Jesuits'
3 Chareh
The drenching rain which fell on Friday
night precluded our reaching the Church OF
the Immaculate Conception 10 time to listen to
order to faise funds TO relieve Spring Hill College,
al which the young gentlemen under whose aus
pices the concert wss gotten up, were educated.
We found, however, 10 our surprise, almost every
pew in the church filed with lovers Of sacred
music, and learned from conn0isseuvs that the
able baton of Mr.. Colignon and the talent dis
played by the artists and amateurs who took part
in the execution Of the morceaux sung, was every
thing that could be desired.
Tho StaDat Mater which followed was per-
formed in splendid style by the orchestra, to
which we will acknowledge, without fear of re.
proach, with more attention than 20 the voices,
and We tender our compliments to Mr.. Cslabresi
and the musicians under his leadership for the
Perfection with which they rendered the exqui.
site and difficult accords Of Rossini's world re.
nowned masterpiece.
Should we recite the execution of the different
portions of the stabat, we would be compelled to
devote more space than the occasion affords. We
will find room, however, to state hat we listened
with pleasure to Mr.. Bremmer, the basso Of the
church, who displayed the possession Of fine
| organ and considerable progress since be has
placed himself under the professorship of Mr.. Van
Bulen, who did not sing the Pro Peccatis, as sta.
| ted by @ confrere. We make this correction sim
| ply TO give Mr.. Bremmer merited credit for bis
| rendition of that part of the stabat. Mr.. Enges
| Ctgus Amman was what that artist generally
! MAKES of everything musical intrusted to him
| beautiful. Nine Gambler was in excellent voice,
and throughout her part evinced that knowledge
| of her ert which nobody has ever dared to dis
| pute. Not having TO climb to the extremities
| Of the higher register, her voice presented
| softness and correctness which we take pleasure
| in mentioning. Mrs. l.. NJ. c., the soprano OF the
| cLulr, was in better voice than we have ever
| heard her, and we shall long remember the beau.
tifu ard artistic manner In which che conducted
and sustained her voice in the higher notes OF the
/ InfdDtnld tUs and Sdnctd Mater. We have often
| had occasion to compliment her excellency bat
/ on this occasion she seemed inspired with the d.
vine art. The concert closed with the great mas

weak, owing probably to the want OF sufficient re-
