Review: New-York Times, 26 December 1862, 1.
“[A] grand high mass was sung at 5 o’clock in the morning. . . . The music, as usual at the cathedral, was of a high order, and was rendered with great effect. At the morning high mass, the celebrated Adeste Fidele was sung in a manner which reflected the greatest credit upon the choir.”
