MUNICIPAL ORGAN RECITAL.
There was just about an average attend* ance.of music lovers at the recital given by the city organist at the Town Hall on Saturday night. The programme submit* ted by Mr Manghan Barnett was in every way an excellent one and should certainly have served to attract a very much greater measure of public attention. It opened with Bach’s prelude and fngue in G minor*, a composition which makes great demands upon the capabilities of both instrument and Mendelssohn's Sonata No. I. was another notable item, one also in which the orgarast displayed brilliant execution. : No less welcome was the beautiful “Waidwebaa,” from Wagner’s ‘'Siegfried,” and the fine overture ito Harold.'© "Zampa," the latter ■ forming a. meet safefactory concluding item. Deader works in* eluded on the programme were lyEvry’s “Noofcametto,” a “Priere” by Caponl, and Hollins’s “Spring Song,” the two lastnamed being repeated in response to thfv general demand. A “special request” pro. gramme will be played by the city, ist next Saturday evening.
