ROME April 22-Something more should be said Of
the three DAYS of the Kiseree. 1t feared that as
they were DAYS of expectation to all, they would be
also of disappointment TO many. Arranged as those
subIime compositions were for execution in a build
ing limited in size, is the Sisne Chapel 1t was
feared that they must lose considerably in effect
when performed in editce vast as St.
Peters The result. however, was attended
with unmingled satisfaction. After the "Lamen-
tatiops7 which sounded sweet and low, the
thrilling notes of the Mse@e came stealing through
the air like the whispered pleadings of over-bur
dened soul addressing itself TO Heaven. The music
although comparatively faint, was proportionaby
sweet and clear, the purity and delcacy of the
finely trained voices penetrating further than a
prosser body of sound could have done. 1t was not
until Friday however, tlat the great genius OF the
chief director Of the POntifich choir. the we'll
known maestro Mustafa, was displayed IN a MS-
tTee coInposod by himself expressly for the
occasion Remarkable for the beauty of its mel
ody and the perfection of its performance
