But probably the gentler pieces, in which a tune or melody is treated and illustrated, not in strict fugue form, but not less contrapuntally in spirit, sank the most deeply into the hearts of the listeners. The graceful and poetic movement from the Trio Sonata (two manuals

before) in quartet form, with beautiful blending of stops, and the melody with its blissful trill sung on a reed solo stop, lost none of its warm, comforting, religious charm by repetition. The similar variations on the choral, Am Wasserflüssen Babylons, was found only less beautiful. In the space reserved for the organist's own Concert Variations, the organ played him a bad trick, a pedal valve now and then "ciphering," or refusing to close, so that one of the bigger tone spirits refused to be laid, and hummed on like a big factory wheel distressingly. This broke up the continuity of the thing somewhat. Still he managed to play through his variations to the general satisfaction, pleasing musicians by the tasteful invention and contrapuntal

THE LATE PRINCE CONSORT AS A COMPOSER. -Alluding to the preparations for the Great Exhibition, a weekly journal of literature THIRTY YEARS' MUSICAL RECOLLECTIONS. and art made the following remarks:-" If we may venture upon a hint which, if carried out, will be likely to prove a real gain to the ceremony, as well as a lively gratification to the Queen, we would remind the Royal Commissioners that among the many and varied accomplishments of the late Prince Consort was a proficiency in musical composition. Comparatively few may be aware of this fact, but in the musical world it is known that the Prince composed a "Te Deum" and a "Jubilate " of uncommon merit, that those pieces were engraved for his own use, and that copies are preserved by Her Majesty. What better or fitter tribute could be rendered to the memory of the Prince than the performance of these pieces? They are known to be in the highest degree creditable to him, and bear not merely traces of sound knowledge of the theory of music, but a happy method of developing it. Surely this is worth consideration."

ADELINA PATTI. The two theatres are not content to play on the same day; they play the same pieces at the same time, and while Mlle. Trebelli is applauded at Her Majesty's, Mlle. Patti transports the public of Covent Garden in the same rôle of Rosina. What can one say about this marvellous young girl, which has not been already said? The charm and the enchantment are not to be analysed. When then will you hear this wonder in Paris? And why must it be that the capital of the arts should so often be the last to know or to sanction the great talents? Jenny Lind had reached a celebrity without precedent, and her career now is terminated, without Paris having ever heard a single note of her. Mendelssohn was a great composer, and yet l'aris has asked nothing of him, and it was necessary that he should die in order to become famous there. To-day Adelina Patti sings, and you do not hear her ! Explain this problem he who can. Since the arrival of the young artist, Covent Garden theatre, instead of three times, has played regularly four times a week, and for next week Mr. Gye announces five representations. I cannot quit Mlle. Patti without speaking of the magnificent reprise of Don Giovanni, in which she fills the part of Zerlina. It is in her hands, or in her throat, a wholly new part; one never has heard it before, and one never will hear after her the "Vorrei e non vorrei."-Révue et Gazette Musicale.

which effects the greatest improvement they have ever made in the Instrument. The Drawing-Room Models will be found of a softer, purer, and in all respects more agreeable tone than any other instruments. They have a perfect and easy means of producing a diminuendo or crescendo on any one note or more; the bass can be perfectly subdued, without even the use of the Expression Stop, the great difficulty in other Harmoniums. To each of the New Models an additional blower is attached at the back, so that the wind can be supplied by a second person, and still under the new Patent the performer can play with perfect expression.

THE NEW CHURCH HARMONIUM,

WITH TWO ROWS OF KEYS.

These Instruments are a perfect substitute for the Organ; the upper keyboard has a Venetian Swell, and acts as a Soft or Choir Organ, on which a perfect diminuendo and crescendo can be produced; and the lower keyboard answers the purpose of a Full Organ. The tone of these Instruments more closely resembles that of an Organ than any Harmonium yet produced, being rich and pure in quality. The construction is of a simple character, and not likely to be affected by damp,
