Roome’s singing of the

Mr. Strong’s song was very nearly exceed- |

Emil Waldteufei’s somewhat sombre ‘‘“Minolo Waltzes” were played by the | Orchestral Club in good time, and perhaps this was as much as could be expected; the masicians evidently did not care to waste much finish on a piece of mere dance music. There was, however, no Jack of vigur, and the result was a good deal of what a harsh critic would call scraping, though we ourselves refrain from so severe a term The same is true, though to a less extent, of the rendering ef Offcnbach’s well known Favart Galop—one of the least meritorious
compositions that even Offenbach ever | wrote, Millard’s ‘‘ Waiting” was very prettily |
sung by Miss Hickey, and the voice was! well supported on the piano by Mr. Earle. |
Mr. Earle did not think it worth while, | however, to bring out the _ most| striking feature in the accompani- ment, the simulation of a nightingale’s|
trilling, (obviously an echo of the inimitable nightingale accompaniment in Beethoven’s *‘Adelaide’’) which occurs | more than once, notably, shortiy after the line, ‘* Where the nightingale is singing.” Notwithstanding this defect the audierce loudly applauded and cncvred.
We have heard Mr. Vinnicombe play | both better and worse than in his principal | solo last evcning. It was pleasant to observe that there was not so wuch slur- | riug between the notes, though an occasicn al failure to strike the right note smoothly | and at once. His playing was, neverthe- | less, very agreeable, and the selection was good, but surely it was not fair to an intelligent audience to respond to an encore | with such a trashy ditty as the second solo, | a thing not worth serious attention on the part of the hearers, and still less worth serious playing on the part of a musician like Mr. Vinnicombe.
If Miss Crabbe did not quite gratify the expectations which hergbility always raises | it was not her fault—it was that of her! song, of which she made the most, Itis a pity, when really good simple music is 80 | easily obtained, that their time and talents on the inane songs in | which they seem to delight—songs of which they tire in a week, and which cannot possibly repay serious study take to imagine that only great performers | can touch great music
