Handel's sublime oratorio of the "Messiah" will be given in Rome for the first time early in the spring, by the Roman Musical Society. The rehearsals are under the direction of the famous Mustafa, chief musician of the Papal choir. It is curious that this ■wonderful composition should never yet have been heard in Rome, one of the great musical centres of the world, and the reasons can only be found in the profound antipathy which has always been manifested by the Italians for all that is German, music included. — ' Catholic Review.'
