The sacred concert given last Monday by
St. Luke's choir in their own church proved
a complete financial and musical success.
Eck's Magnificent was sung as opening num-
Der by the choir, and showed well-trained
voices under skillful leadership. There are
some excellent voices in the choir, and j. Fl.
Donohue deserves much praise for his ener-
getc purpose to make st. Luke's choir range
second to none in the CITY,
The appearing soloists rendered their Sc
lections artisfically, special mention being
due 10 the two sopranos. Mrs. Arthur
.Bogers sang Her Angels Serenade by Prago
with warm delivery and trne devotion. She
Isia charming vocalist, and possesses most
sympathetic meZZo soprano with perfect
control; her voice is rich, especially in the
hover register.
Miss Aggie Gay is fayorite wherever she
appears Her rendition of Gounods Ave
Maria placed the young lady in the front of
our few local sopranos. The Ave Maria
has often been sung. but seldom with such
excellent rendition as MISS Gay did. By
careful training she will develop her voice
fpJ the study of oralorio for which she is so
well fit.
Mr.. Won Goetzen played the violin obi
gftos to boih of the SOLOS mentioned with his
often and rightly praised discretion, and in
lie solo Largo, by Handel, played exquis-
ileiy.
a The two contraltos of the choir, Misses
Emily Haggerty ana Frances Smith, sang ad-
mirably in their respective solos. christmas
Song by Adams, and Ave Maria by Vie
gard. Miss Haggertys voice is full aud
round, and If she can overcome certain faults
in her phrasing she will be able to do very
good work.
Eugene Kaeuffer sa ng the solo almighty
Cod by Mozart. and sang it very well, the
choir supporting him in the chorus part.
Mr. Kaeuffer has deep baritone and sings
with taste and spirit.
Some ensembles were SING and gave proof
of the careful study of The singers. The
Gaudeamus, by Diabelli. was capitally exc
cnted, thanks 10 John T. Gehan, who. al
though forbid len by a severe cold TO sing
the PRO Peccatis.' from the 'SIabat Mater
assisted most cheerfully in trios and quar-
tcttes.
Miss Margaret FranklinS piano solo was
nicely rendered with delicate touch and
smooth execution. Mrs. j. II. Donohue. or
gapist OF The church, assisted gracefully in
Accomplishments. and all in all the concert
was perfect little success. 1t is TO be hoped
