dIced here by the 0ratorlo Society,
made such an impression thnt much was
expected Of the work heard for the first
time yesterday -.
The first part OF the cantata paints
the appearance of tho star on the plains
where in the winter twilight shepherd
children are Watching their fiocks. The
star is transformed into a soprano voice
aud three other sopranos represent the
leading persoiiages among the children,
The movement of the story Is set forth;

felicitous and frequently obscured by
Instrumentation. -s &c..
The second part brings the children
TO the stable, wherein not only the Virgin
but also the OK and the ass become soloists
some of the narrator's text referring to
these latter actors in the littlo drama
comes perilously near to the. ludicrous

The work ia essentially tuneful and
once in a while its melodies carry one
back to the memory OF Sunday school
days. But on the whole the composers

than this and his orchestration, always
well colored and seldom too opulent,

must have been delight 10 these chill
dren to study this music and to take part
as they did with so much credit to them
selves and their instructor in such an ap-
propriate celebration of the Christmas
season. But why could we not have had
New York city children? Cannot they
sing too? Or are they so busy measuring
cats that they have no time for music?
