TuE MUSICAL CONVENTION. Close upon us
comes this great gathering of the musical peo-
pie Of Worcester county, and our city, for the
coming week, will probably wear holiday as
pect. That this convention will surpass all pre-
vious ones, no one can for a moment doubt.
The plans are carried out with great liberaity,
and spirit Of progress is strongly apparent.
The masterpiece OF the week will be Mcndes-
sohn's dramatic oratorio Of Elijah; work full
Of thrilling effects; the music speaking in tones
of pity, tenderness, pathos, defiance, thankful
ness, and triumph embracing all moods, from
the confding, religious spirit of the angel trio,
Lift thine eyes, TO the great Rain Chorus, so
full of waves of thanklulncss and grandeur.
With the large chorus Of the convention, this
work will probably tell as no other oratorio has
heretofore done, among us.
That the solos of the week land there are to
be many gems) are to be entrusted to great
artists, every one can see. Madame Bishop is
capable of ali required Of her; Miss Sterling is
famous cOnlralto, who will not fail to awaken
lively enthusiasm here; Simpsons powers are
fully appreciated; and j. r. Thomas comes
warmly heralded. The minor attractions of the
week are many and good. Miss Persis Bell, the
child yiolinist, is awakening interest, and the
orchestral concert is by no means small. I'M
doubleday the attendance through the week will
be large, for the attractions are numerous.
The hall of the young mems Christian asso-
citation was completely filled last evening by the
singers Of Worcester and adjoining towns, for
the last rehearsal of "ElUah," under the direction
Of Carl Zerrahn. Mr. Zerrahn speaks in COM
mendable terms of the great progress made in
the study OF this magnificent oratorio, and is
confident that the representation of the great
work will Keel in excellence anyioratorio ever
given here The best tickets for the public to
secure are the visitors tickets; these admit TO
all the concerts Of the week, including the Or
chestral afternoon performance, also the re-
hearsals. The season tickets, which can be oh
tanned now, should he secured without delay.
