“Sig. BARILI gave his annual complimentary concert on Thursday, at which some of his own pupils, other amateur talent and some professionals were heard in a programme, which, containing fourteen numbers in all, offered five of Sig. BARILI’S own compositions; these were, ‘A Grand Scene—The Arabs in the Desert,’ sung by A. E. VALENTINE, who was ‘uncommon still, to be sure,’ [(] as The Chicken said of Mr. Somebody;) a sacred song of quiet spirit, called ‘The Mother’s Prayer,’ sung by Miss ALLEN; ‘A Venetian Serenade;’ a song, ‘The Cloudlet’—the petition of a girl for her dead lover—to a pretty melody, which Miss HARVEY, one of Sig. BARILI’S pupils, rendered with appreciable feeling; and the comic quartet (previously heard in public) from BARILI’S opera, ‘Una Noche en Seville.’  These pieces are to be published in album shape, we believe, with some forty others of BARILI’S composition.”
