THE CHORAL SOCIETY.

"Israel In Egypt."

« Israel in Egypt ' is perhaps the grande t work of n master who stands unapproach able in the facility with which, by simple expedients,he turned vocal resources to the greatest account. Its choruses are colossal, and in number they preponderate^ almost to the exclusion of solos and recitative. In fact it is said that the insertion of any solp numbers at all was a mere compromise with popular idiosyncrasies, the original intention of tho composer being to render the work strictly and thoroughly choral in character. This oratorio also occupies a preeminent place among Handel's works for the effects of instrumental colouring with which it abounds, and in which " The Messiah " is distinctly lacking. Orchestration is very largely of modern development, and the wonder is not that Handel's works should be rather scant of orchestral effects as com pared with the compositions of the last hun dred years, but that he should be so far in advance of his time as to permit of com parison with thorn in this respect. Take it all in all, "Israel in Egypt" is a magnifi cent effort of creative musical genius, and its fully effective representation must mark the high-water level of amateur choral pro ficiency. The acceptance of such a crucial test evidenced Herr Schmitt's confidence in the Society which he has so sedulously and carefully trained, and their satisfactory passage of it, in spite of the temporary deprivation of his services as conductor, proves that he had not miscalculated their ability. For the interpretation of the work the Society mustered 197 voices and instru ments, classified as follow:—Soloists, 5; sopranos, 46; contraltos, 34; basses and baritones, 46 ; tenors, 36 ; instrumentalists, 30. The balance of voices, although rather unequal in consequence of a slight pre dominance of bosses and tenors, approxi mated more nearly to a harmonious equipoise than at any previous concert of the season. Two -elements contributed to this result, viz., a notable diminution in the number of sopranos and a marked increase of male singers, but particularly of tenors, who have hitherto been numerically weak. As we have already suggested, the chorus singing is heavy and trying, as a glance at the unbroken sequence of eight choruses in the first part alone would show. There are quite anumberof double choruses, and in the choral writingprenerally Handel exhibits hia_ e«_i-n<forantiphonaleffect. Mr Knox's beat was precise and resolute, and albeit there were slight manifestations of un steadiness here and there, and more or less attenuation among sopranos and tenors during sustained flights in the upper register, the effect as a whole was decidedly good. The attacks were prompt and the singing spirited throughout. In the first chorus, "And the Chil dren," the female voices opened in slow time with becoming impressiveness, and towards the end the male voices had an opportunity for display by which they profited. The next chorus, "They Loathed to Drink," is rather catchy, but was well executed nevertheless. In the celebrated "Hailstone" chorus, and the one by which it is preceded, "He Spake the Word," the full strength of chorus and orchestra was heard to great advantage, but the female voices were rather overborne by the others. The number forms a charming instance of Handel'spower and originality in musical effect. Choruses 8 and i), viz., "Ho Sent Thick Darkness," and "He Smote all the First-born," were impres sively rendered, but in the latter the tenors and sopranos were somewhat at fault in the sustained high notes. Tho eneemblo in " But as for His People " was very pretty, and the parts were on the whole very well taken indeed. It proved to be the most effective number of the first part. In the chorus, "But tho Waters," tho instrumental introduction and accom paniment are highly suggestive of the rush and surge of tno angry waves, and tho orchestra rose equal to the faithful execu tion of the highly-wrought music. The concluding chorus of tho first part, "I Will Sing Unto the Lord," is full of lengthened runs for the various parte, and in these the sopranos displayed the greatest amount of executive skill and precision. Part 11. of the oratorio is much more diversified with solos and recitatives than Part 1., and, as a consequence, the chorus-singing is less laborious. In "The Depths Covered Them " fair attention was paid to the subdued nuances of expression, while the subsequent number was crisp and bright all round. " And With the Blast" was marked by some irresolution, but it was only transient. The remaining choruses were very well rendered, and the closing one, "Sing Ye to the Lord," was done in capital style. Although tho orchestra were not quite up to their usual form, still the declension was unimportant. Their execution was good, and in several instances besides the one already indicated it was really excellent. The fact that they were Confessedly unprepared for the performance, and yet that.they acquitted themselves bo well, attests their ability as musicians.

Miss Stevenson (soprano), Miss Corbett (contralto), Dr. Cobbett (tenor), and Messrs' Taylor and Osborne (basses), were the solo ists of the evening, and their task was not an exhaustive one. Still the numbers as signed them are by no means easy of execu tion. Miss Stevenson gave the solo, " Thou Didst Blow With the Wind;" and a tremor in the voice testified to her nervousness. This doubtless accounts for the irregularity of time. Mr Barnett's acceptable accom paniment, however, proved both a support and a guide, and the young singer promptly recovered herself. She did herself more justice in the solo to the final chorus. The first contralto solo, for _ome unexplained reason, was omitted, but the second one, " Thou Shalt Bring Them In," proved to be the Solo gem of the concert. Miss Corbett song it with great delicacy of expression, and the audience evinced their appreciation by cordial applause. Dr. Cobbett has a clear, flexible, and well-trained tenor voice of average power, but of rather limited range. Be sang the tenor recitatives and the solo, " The Enemy Said," with distinct enunciation, and for his rendering of the solo he was rewarded with a round of plaudits. The bass duet by Messrs Taylor and Osborne was rather indifferent. It is a difficult number, and the voices did not harmonise well, while Mr Osborne was manifestly weak in the upper register. Mr Barnett's assistance as accompanist in the recitatives w;is of great value, and indeed it would have been well if he had also been allowed to accompany the solos. His instrumentation is really superb. In conclusion, we very heartily congratulate Mr Knox on the success which, under his direction, and with his able co-operation, has been achieved. "The Messiah" at Christmas tide will be the opening concert of the next season.

CHARGE AGAINST WARING TAYLOR.

(BY TELEGRAPH—I'RESS ASSOCIATION.)

Wellinotox, this day. The charge against Waring Taylor, laid by.Mr Jellicoe, English solicitor, at the instance^of Mr Jonas Arundel, residuary legatee, is for embezzlement and misappro priating moneys received for sales of Bank of New Zealand shares, left to Ernest Arundel, brother of the legatee, left by Mr May some years ago. Taylor is at present at Bulls. It is understood a firm of solicitors in Wellington have also been instructed by the legatees under the will of which Taylor was trustee to proceed against him. .

There are vast armed forces in India that are not under Bntish.control. Letters to the London '' Times " Bhow that a population of 49,050,000 Hindoos, and Mohammedans, under "princes of 'their own, maintain armies numbering 349,835 troops, with an artillery of 4,237 guns. In all the native States _ a warlike spirit prevails, and the discipline and the weapons are, as a rule, excellent. The 100,000 soldiers of the Maharajah of Nepaul would ask nothing better than to be led to battle, whoever the adversary. Be fore theconsolidatfon of the British dominion the troops were redoubtable antagonists to the best European skill and discipline. Now these soldiers are simply the toys of the princes. They have no "duties to'per t'orm, for British rule preserves peace from the Himalayas to the ocean. But it is pos sible that in the course of time some -ngacious and ambitious native prince may unite these immense forces, resistance to which could not be offered by the compara tively insignificant (number of soldiers under Great Britain's control.

CORRESPONDENCE.

The Judging of Dairy Cows,

(To the Editor.)

Sib,—ln answer to the letter which at.! peered in your edition lost night in regarri to the judging of the dairy cows at tie late Show, 1 think myself bound injustice to mymS to repudiate the false charges attributed to m_ in that letter. According to the schedule, tha rules of which wero laid down by the Societr the cows were to be judged tor dairy purposes! ■which I should suppose means mi_k.produci___ Sualities. Your correspondent says that from ie seven cows exhibited, three of them were carefully selected a. the beet. Now, if the cows were judged for dairy or milk-producing quail ties, how could they be properly judired -unless they were milked! And all that was done on Saturday towards milking waa thet the quarters wero tried by squeezing a drop of milk out of them. Thete fore I say the cows were not fairly and properly judged for their milk-producing qualities. Your correspondents also say the first-prize cow was milked on Monday morning at 4 o'clock and gave 3J gallons of measured milk. Now, if she gave this quantity (which is doubtful), how was it that she was running her milk at midday? Anyone who has had any experience with a dairy will know that a cow which tuns her milk three or four hours from milking time axain is utterly useless for dairy purposes Again, he says tho cow wasmilked on the Show grounds at 3 o'clock, and filled a bucket Of three gallons. I deny this, for the simple reason that the bucket would not hold more than 2} At filled to running over, and then there was the froth to allow for. Mr Paton did say there was three gallons of milk in the bucket, but this Was at onccdeniedbyscveralpersonsstanding round amongst whom was an exhibitor, who Imay be supposed has had quite as much exoerience with cows, and the milking of them", as Mr Paton; and that gentleman offered to lfty a bit that there was not more than seven quarts which wasatwut the quantity in the bucket This was a slight dill-rence from tt-ee gallons" but it was not denied. Again, he sari that the bucket which I milked my cow with was a bucket holding two quarts leas. But this I deny, hav'-if; seen both buckets f_ gether, and not perceiving any difference in them, as there was none. And then, to wind up with, your correspondent says that" the total quantity of milk taken from the lirize cow .on Monday was eight gal. ons. I don't think anyone with any common sense will believe this, especially when it is a cow which runs her milk with 2} gallons In her bag. And now, sir. I think I have clearly, shown that I made no falso charges Or insinua tions in my letter of the 12th, and therefore'! shall not think it worth while to carry on any further correspondence on this matter, unless Mr Paton is willing to place his cow in the hands of any competent and unpre judiced men with mine for one week, as nothing would please me more than to see which is the best cow for milking qualities. — I am, yours, etc., J. Bea-Lky. [Any further correspondence on this subject mustbass through our advertising columns,—
