“The rehearsal of the Church Music Association, on Thursday, was attended by a large and brilliant audience. Haydn’s noble Second Mass was the pièce de resistance, and nothing can be conceived of as more likely to benefit the public taste than such music. In this mass the quartet of solo singers have comparatively little to do. That that little will be well done is certain; but the condition of the chorus, the want of unanimity, and the poorness and thinness of tone bode ill for the concert.”
