     “To Trinity Chapel tonight, where W. Walter the organist favored a perspiring audience with specimens of his own efforts in church Music.  They were dull and unmeaning enough, but not much below the average of such Anglican Church Music as I have had the misfortune to hear.  In fact there is not (within my knowledge) any such thing as English Church Music, if it be admitted that the ecclesiastical works of Beethoven, Haydn, and Handel are music.”
