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

“…the music of the church is simple, yet it is of a quality that must always please even musically cultured ears. The organist of the church is Mr. Albert W. Berge, the eminent composer, and his reputation as one of our first organists has long been fully established. A paid choir has always been distasteful to the pastor of the church, so that the only vocal music ever heard within its walls is made by a number of theological students, who give their services without fee or reward.”
