A MUSICAL NOTE.
Very fine performance by Royal Choral Society, at my little place in
Kensington, on Wednesday evening, Dec. 10th, of MACKENZIE's "_Rose of
Sharon_." Everything _couleur de Rose_, except the atmosphere, which
was _couleur de pea-soup_. Weather responsible for a certain number
of empty stalls in my hall. Madame ALBANI in excellent voice--sang
throughout gloriously. E.L., the Squire of Hall Barn, says that,
when the eminent soprano sings at his place, he shall announce her as
Madame HALLBARNI. HILDA WILSON first-rate in "_Lo! the King!_" LLOYD
as good as ever; can't say more. The duets between him and ALBANI,
perfection. WATKIN MILLS, an impressive _Solomon_, sang the difficult
music of that character artistically. The Chorus superb in one of
finest choruses, written by an English composer, "_Make a joyful
Noise_"--very joyful noise they made, and a considerable one.
