“The very fine quartet at the Rev. Mr. Frothingham’s church (Lyric Hall) yesterday gave, in addition to the ordinary choice selections of music, a dirge, ‘Blessed are the Dead’ (Spohr), in memoriam of the universally lamented Charles Dickens. The opening anthem from Mosenthal was well rendered by Miss Gibbs, Mrs. Gardiner, Mr. Clapp and Mr. Haws, and the third piece, ‘Oh! For the wings,’ was also very fine.’”
