Trinity Church Recital
En1oxrn ny LARaE AUDIENCE,

ENJOYED BY LARGE AUDIENCE:
One Of the choicest events of this years
season in Newtown, was the organ
recital given by Edward Britton Manville
and corps sof assistants at Trinity church,
on Friday evening last. The well arrang-
ed program opened with march By
Prof. Plat, the organist of the church.
The number was chiefly remarkable for
the clearness of the passages IN thirds
and sixths. and the well rendered climax.
Miss Taylor sang two numbers. Bucks
"My Redeemer and My Lord" also an
fave Maria, with violin obligate. Miss
Taylor has strong and clear voice, and
was listened to with much pleasure
Arthur Platt also gave two violin solos
with pleasing effect. The nocturne was
full of graceful turns and good tones.
Prof. Platt played the always acceptable
"Hymn of the Nuns" and Gavotte full
of pretty and tripping measures, that
fell with the utmost daintiness from his
skiliful fingers. Miss Robbins. q singer
from New York, among the summer
guests, sang with exquisite finish, and
devotional feeling, an arrangement of
| the hymn, "Jesus Lover of My Soul, "
and a strongly contrasted anthem full OF
triumph and rejoicing, by Coombs.
The most ambitious work Of the even
ing was the 'tMarche Religieuse," of
Guilnant, Mr. Msnville's opening number
To thoroughly appreciate the art of the
rendition, one should be familiar With
the work of the composer. The theme II
march which leads up to magnificent
| fug9e, and an imposing clash of march
ing chords at the finish. Mr. Manvillt
handled this composition in maste rly
mannf r, keeping the swing of the march
distinctly marked through the diminu
endos, and gradually, with an utter lacf
of hurry for effect, seldom found II
young musicians, gained all the rea
beauty and true artistic effect that comes
only from absolutely good work. Ths
final climax was like the rush o,
Heavens hosts, as the sweeping chords
of the full organ filled the church.
The "Cantilene Nuptiale," which fol
lowed, was tender and sweet, mysIeriou
and passionate, song Of love, giver
with skillful delicacy of expression. II
the "Pastorsle," possibly Mr. Manville'
technique showed to most advantage, tn
soft staccato movement was rendered
with flute like clearness of tone tina
reminded one of Wagner's boy with thu
pipes sitting among the rocks and piping
to his sheep in the wild country Of Sustain
Contrasting strongly was the postlud
full of dash and nerve and swing, and 1
rushing crescendo at the finish tina
thrilled the nerves. AS a finale, display
ing the extent Of his art, Mr. Manvill
gave an exquisite reverie, soft and pur
as pearl, full of religious aspiration
under the hands that so tenderly inter
preted.
Mr. Manville is only at the beginnin
of his days of promise and yet, has a.
ready achieved brilliant technique Il
all he assays. Those who heard hir
must feel an int rest in the opening of 8
promising career. as time and stud
will make of his.-TH. G.
