night and of the performance the Sun today
says: Mr.. Damrosch's performers reproduced
the composers ideas with remarkable lntelli-
gence and success. The large mixed chorus
sang in excellent style. The soprano voices, in
particular, rendered the music with much
sweetness. It is very rare, indeed, to hear a
chorus given with such smoothness and in such
excellent taste the concluding one last night.
The music itself seems almost perfectly adapted
to the thought. Berlioz exhibits the same
adequateness in effect at all points" The solo
lists, Mrs. Burch, Sig. Montegriffo and Mr..
Meyn. are commended for their good work 1t
is expected that large audience will greet the
society tonight
