Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1871-04-08

Mr.. B, d. Allen were very fine, at times APP
preaching very nearly to genuine orchestral
effects. Had the concert ended with the Mass,
the Choral Union would have had reason to be
pleased with their success but there was an ev-
ident falling off in the rendering of Men
delssohn's four-part songs. Such a society may
well practice such music, but we doubt if it is
possible to give Il perfect Interpretation
of this style of music by a society
of such multiform materials. Miss Mary
Stone was the bright particular star in the Sec
ond part of the concert: in fact, her singing was
artistic and expressive in the highest degree.
Miss Rowland exhibited voice of great purity,
and received an encore. The piano solo by Mr..
Sumner was faultless, but rather too grave for
the concert room, when disconnected from the
complete work. The Misses Putnam were evil
IDENTIFY little timid, which naturally detractcd
from the proper performance of their ductt
which we think they would be fully equal to
under other circumstances. Mrs Munroe gave
good evidence Of deep, rich contralto, such as
is seldom heard, in the song Going to Sleep"
Banby's quartette, Soft and Low" was re-
ceived with much favor. As whole, the enter
tainmeut was satisfactory, and highly crcditable
to our choral organization.
