The Week;
present a scene of beauty which is nowhere else accessible to the public . The great musical event of the season is fixed for the 2 nd of July , and will consist of a grand demonstration by the great Hand el Festival choir , with full orchestral and military bands , to the number of 2 , 500 . The Handel Festival choir achieved an extraordinary success last year , and , on this occasion , it will be reinforced by deputations of the best trained voices from the provinces and the continent . Mr . Costa has used his utmost exertions , since last year , to keep the 1 , 400 London amateurs together , and in constant practice ; and they have now attained a degree of excellence unsurpassed by any choir in Europe . They will be reinforced by about 200 selected voices from the Bradford Choral Association , and by
deputations from many pro vihcial and continental societies , forming . in the aggregate a chorus of unrivalled excellence . ' The instrumental music will be on a corresponding scale of excellence and efficiency ; the stringed and wind bands of the Crystal Palace being strengthened by the addition of those of the Royal Italian Opera , the Sacred Harmonic Society , and the Amateur Musical-Society , and also by the full military bands of the Grenadier and Coldstream Guards ; and when we add , that the concert will be conducted by Mr . Costa that Madame Clara Novellp and Mr , Sims Reeves will sing the principal solos ( including the famous " war song" from Costa ' s " Eli , " by the last-named artist ) , and that Mr . Brownsmith , of the Sacred Harmonic Society , will preside at the great Handel Festival organ , —it will be evident that a musical treat of the very highest order is in store for the public .
