Trinity Church Sunday Service

"Vinton was verbose at Trinity Church this morning.  The anthem was lovely--one of the hymns, 'Guide me, O thou great Jehovah'--arranged as a solo and chorus--very adagio.  Solo was that nice little Ehrlich, who is just about losing his voice, Diller tells me.  But he showed no sign of its coming loss and sang with a sweetness and purity of expression and a quality of voice such as I have seldom heard.  Indeed it’s seldom any music has touched me so.  Old D. Hodges--now in England, would have shuddered had he known what the choir of Trinity was doing.  For their anthem was arranged or adapted from a pretty melody in Flotow’s Martha!  Not of a masculine school, but such music is pleasant now and then as a change.  And our nice looking, well-behaved surpliced choir boys always do full justice to a plain chorale.  This Hymn is fortunate, for it has been allied to another and a far nobler melody, 'Einsam bin ich nicht allein' from Weber’s Preciosa."
