“There will be masses every hour during the forenoon; at half-past 10 a grand Pontifical High Mass, at which the music will be Haydn’s beautiful Third Mass in D.”

“At the offertory, the organist will play a solo on the French horn.” (The New York Times review of 12/26/73 states that a “Mr. Groz” performed this solo; the New York Sun review of the same day claims that it was Heindrich Schmitz.)

The unidentified work by Schmitz is “a new work.”

“In addition to the elaborate music of Haydn’s Third Mass was an Adeste Fidelis sung to a simple old melody, the alternate verses in solo and chorus. The offertory song was Ecce Panis by Proch, sung by an accomplished amateur, Mrs. Grosz, sister of the Schmitzes, with French horn obligato, played by her brother Heindrich, beautiful in both itself and in its perfect execution.”

“…The musical services were conducted by Gustavus Schmitz and Haydn’s ‘Third Mass in D’ was rendered.” No further mention of music.

“…The music selected for the occasion was Haydn’s beautiful third mass in D under the direction of the organist, Prof. Gustavus Schmitz. The choir was assisted by a powerful chorus from the Philharmonic Society. The solo singers were [lists singers] and Henry [sic] Schmitz, conductor. At the elevation ‘Ecce Panis,’ soprano solo was given with French-horn accompaniment by Mr. Groz. The ‘Agnus Dei’ was rendered by Miss Ballard, alto solo; and just preceding the sermon ‘Veni Creator’ as a solo soprano was sung by Miss J. Sullivan.”
