Review: New York Herald, 01 December 1871, 4.

“Altogether, the choir of St. Patrick’s Cathedral deserves high commendation for the complete and masterly rendition of the sacred selections so suitably introduced during the ceremonies. At the conclusion of the services Professor Schmitz played a beautiful voluntary with masterly brilliancy.”
