THE EDDY ORGAN REC1TAIa4


Mr. e.. G. Eddy, the organist OF the First
Congregational Church, closed his remarkable
series OF recita1s, twenty-five in number, which
commenced On the I'D Of May last, with . coz
cert at the church on Thursday evening last
As but very few people have attended these re-
cita1s it is quite evident that it IL not generally
known that they constitute one OF the most re-
markabfe events in the musical history Of the
city. They furnish another illustration OF the
old prosezb that the prophet ia not without honor
save in his Own country, for these recitals have
occaaioned moro interest aud surprise in Now
York and Boston than they have here, and
Dwight'B journal Of Ausic hss paid Mr. Eddy
the complainant Of publishing the whole series
Of his remarkable programmes. As sample
OF his immense repertoire, it may bo stated that
they contain 100 numbers and but , half dozen
repetitions. The class Of music which be has
played is 80 strictly legitimate for the organ, and
so much out OF the customary repertol1es OF Or
gap1sts, that We have classified it, not only ~ =
matter of interesting record and reference, bus
also that our musical people may know what
they have missed. .
The concert which closed these rocitals was
well attended, the programme was excellens,
and the performance remarkably good. The In
strumentai nuubero Were Merkels Christina
