Review: New York Herald, 20 June 1870, 3.

“…High Mass was celebrated yesterday and a full orchestra had been engaged for the occasion. Mozart’s Twelfth mass had been chosen, and, to render it efficiently, some of the leading members of the Italian Opera Company had been engaged. [Lists performers. Göller listed as a tenor.] The orchestra was, taken all in all, effective; but the instrumentation was much too loud for a church of the size of St. Anthony’s, and the effect, consequently, was occasionally anything but agreeable.”
