“The music of the services was something commendable, despite the fact that the choir is composed almost altogether of amateurs, with the exception of a leading quartet, and that it has not yet been organized and trained as well as it soon will be. It is, in fact, a double choir, composed of about sixty singers, one section stationed on either side of the chancel at a distance of about twenty paces from the other. The responses at this remove are very good in modulation, the great dome of the church being well adapted to fine singing.” “The use of the harp in this church adds to the beauty of the music, and in the finest parts fills the ear with the full complement of harmonious delight.”
