That they should be is evident from the fact that Handel intended them origloally for a solo quar- tette with chorai responses. The Cin- cinnati chorus took them almost nt plantsatmo, without the slightest injury to thelr clearncss, and then gave the responses with such a burat and cven crash of power, em- phasized by the full organ and orchestra, thatit was olmost overpowering. 1 doubt whether any one who heard that mighty shout, that over- whelming dellvery of human tone, will ever for- get it. The power and enduranco of the chorus were equally remarkable, Alter almost constant rehearsals and tho first three concerts, the last progeamme contalned two numbers elther of which was exacting and lonz enough to have mado a programme of Itecif.3An it wae, the con. cert commenced at half-pest 7, and was not con- cluded until nearly halt-past 11, and vet thelast number—the ¢ Komeo and Jullet"—did not show any aiminution of strengtn or any loss of care on the rnn ol tha aingers. 1t I8 a chorus of which Cinclnnati may weil be proud, and It stiould never be disbanded.

Wit tho detalls of tho festival I need not conmcern myself. The public is already familinr with tho outllnes, pro- portlons, and_architectural effects of the Jm- menge hall; with the speclfications and exterior embellishmenta of the organ; with the mmro- #itlon of chorus and orchestra; and with the poeition and qualificatious of the artists who so robty sustained the scvere work assigned to thent, Al theso things are already matters of record, To briefly sketen the general ensemblo of the festival fantl that remaine to be done, and then we wailt for 1880, 1. In making such a skotch, the programmes are fisttobo constdered. They arc the founda- tlons upon which the structure is built, and they were lald by o master hand. Cinclnnati Las pow had threo festivals—1873, 1875, 1878. Hevtewing the programmes, thero s a gradual but steady advance. Tha programmes of 1873 at that time secmed larze and important.
