“As will be seen from the programme, the selections were of the very best, and the glorious harmonies of Haydn and Mozart received full justice from the orchestra and grand organ, while the sweet and fresh young voices of the choristers filled the arches of the noble old building with strains of such sacred power that the very air seemed to vibrate with solemn melody.”
