Creswold, the woll- known organist, to this city, was made tho oce caslon of tho sccond concert of tho season, which way, in somo respects, a very plonsant one, It was givon In tho Union Park Congrogationn Chureh, with an aversge andienco in sttendanco, and nmore digerimiuating ono than usunlly at- tonds the West Bide concerts, the Weat-Siders vory generally bolog ulira-oncorers, On this occaslon, tho encoring wns confined to tho first pert of tho prograinmno, tho secoud being sovere- Iy lot alono. Mr. Falk opencd tho programmo with a gonnta in A minor for the organ, by A. G. Rittor, ono of tho best of the modern writers for tho organ, & work which has never beon played horo bofore. It is in four movoments, & short but brilllant allegro londing to Romo rathor florld recitative, “which introduces » ve effectivo arin. Thon follows a short chorale, ovidontly written o furnish a thewmo for vavin~ ticna. Tho work closes with a fine fugue move- ment. Tho sonata is a very brilliant work a8 o wholo, and, ns it is vory rapid in tempos, itisa trying number, but Mr., Falk played it vory ef~ feetively, and, notwithotanding its Bomowhat un- usunl length, succeeded in maintaining tho in- torest of tho audienco to the end, and received vory bearty applause for his oxcollont porform= auce. ‘The other organ wumbers wore in Mr, Creswold's bunds. The first was his owo tran- veription of *“Faust," which ho hisg built up on thiee numbers: first, the chorns of old men and women, which he bas wotked \1{) vory neatly ; second, tho garden duo, which he played with oxquisito tasto and feeling: and, lastly, tho Soldier's March. e prosume tho resson that lio played tho latter thama is becauso it is new in St. Louis, whero ho is now located, und becauso bo has boou away from Chicago long enough to forget it was worn ont here years ago, Iis second number was tho Baoh Toccata in I major, which ho gave erisply aud clearly, and in which ho displayed toma clovor pedal “lnying. - Liy third number was his owu dosorip- Jive picco, T'ho Storin at Sea,” which may bo bost deseribod by his own synopeis: *¢ 1. Scene on board a vossel in mid-occan, ou & caliz sum- mer ovening, {:\? T'ho Ship's Fiddlor, (b) Tho lgafimpnu, (o) Bight bells. 2, A ponceful twi- light,” *Rocked m tho Cradlo of tho Deop.’ 8.

Tha starm ro- codet, Tha crow gise thanks to God for prasor- vation.” Tho picco is principally noticoablo for its closo imitative offects, and for the oxhnustive woanner in which ho utilizes the ro- sources of tho organ, tha best bit of playing in it being his romarkablo execution of “tho chorale * Old Hundred,” which closes it. _The two organists wore assisted by Miss Jos- sica 1nskoll nnd Miss Anna . Lewis (sopranos), Signor Guido Emaouel (tonor), Mr. Lowon (bass), Mr. Piatt (piano), and Mz Braun (trom- Tono).
