A largo and appreciate audience assembled
at the Congregational church last evening to
listen to tho Morgan organ and harp concert.
That the announcement Of Geo. W. Morgan 8
organ recitals is sufficient to attract large
house should surprise no ono who has made
an intelligent study Of the great artists per-
formances. The organ has been styled the
king of Instruments % strictly speaking it
should be considered collection of instru-
ments. just here is where 80 many perform
ers fail. They do not understand tho secret
of combinations which results from q
knowledge oforchostration. MANY players rest
satisfied with noisy or odd effects varied by
pleasing melodies and skillful pedal manipu-
lation, not realizing the higher purposes and
capabilities of the great instrument which
does not yield its secret to every touch any
more than the statue Of Memnon responded
to every chance breath. Morgan is in all
respects great artist Hard work and con-
scientious practice have combined to render
his execution iaultless. His renditions are
marked by accu racy, good taste, and rare
Interpretation of tho work which he places
before you. His various combinations display
q knowledge OF instruments and the manner
in which they should be blended to produce
the best possible effects, while his pedal play
ing is unrivallod.

sisted Of Handels overture to Samson"
storm Fantasia" by Lemmons, and "Nup-
tial March," by Guilmant. In response to
an encore Mr.. Morgan rendered a simple
melody in which he gave a specimen of pedal
playing perfectly superb. The storm Fam
tasia" is descriptive piece and displayed
the great organist's powers in every con-
ceivable variety.
Miss Keller the soprano of the occasion.
sang an air and variation by Rode, and Gou-
mods Avo Maria with harp and organ accom-
paniment. She possesses good execution and
rendered the parts assigned her in good
style, and was the recipient Of two encoros.
The echo Song" and Angels Serenade,"
showed her voice to better advantage than
the other selections.
Miss Morgan, by her harp playin g, won the
admiration of all listeners. Tho fantasia,
from "Un Ballo in Naschera," oberthur's
Fairy Legend" and the duo for harp and
organ, Oberthur's Nuns Prayer" were rem
dered with exquisite taste and skill.
