THE SUNDAY CONCERT.
The programme of this days concert
was made up of some Of the best sacred
selections performed at last weeks CON
certs. In all the choral selections
there was a promptness Of attack, and
unity in the several divisions Of the
voices which added vastly to the gen
eral effect. The orchestra was heard
in its best estate, and with exceeding
ly fine effect in a difficult overture, and
also in series of Accomplishments to the
solos and choruses.
The concert opened with "Keller's
American Hymn" Mr. Gilmore conduc-
ting Madame Peschka-Lcutner was
loudly applauded as she came forward
to sing the air and variations by Proch
which on several other occasions she
has given with such great success.
Her marvellous high notes were given
with the same clearness and case which
characterized her singing throughout,
and the latter part Of the air, with the
most difficult variations was repeated
on encore with the same brilliant effect
which attended the first rendering
The beautiful chorus from Mendelesso.
Inns oratorio of "Elijah"-"He watch.
eth over Israel"-had an exceedingly
good rendering by the chorus, Ierrahr
conducting.
The next number was the Inflamatui
from Rossini's "Stabat Mater" il
which the soprano solo was taken by
Madame Ruderodorn.
The cornet quartetto from Berlin
now appeared upon the stage and TO
