Preceded by an extended description of Schmitz’s mass. “The performance of the mass was well night faultless, the chorus giving an ensemble of correctness, sentiment and expression rarely met with in this city. The orchestra was carefully selected from the Philharmonic Society, and the arm guiding hand and excellent organ playing of Mr. Schmitz were felt in the precision and spirit with which each movement was rendered. Madame Chomé gave an effect to the ‘Quoniam,’ her principal solo, which placed it in its most favorable light, and to an ‘O Salutaris,’ by Rossini, which she sang at the offertory, she brought the training and resources of a thorough artist. Mrs. Unger’s beautiful, sympathetic voice found a congenial subject in the ‘Veni Creator’ arranged from the well-known prayer from ‘Stradella,’ which immediately preceded the sermon. At the elevation Mrs. Gross sang ‘O Jesu Mi,’ a lively theme by Weber, and showed that she was possessed of a soprano voice of pure, expressive quality and high cultivation. Messrs. Denhoff and Urchs were in excellent voice, and contributed no small share to the successful rendering of the mass. Seldom has such a grand musical programme been carried out at one of our churches with such completeness and without a flaw.”
