Mary Fairfax Greig Somerville in Rome - 1817
from Memoir of Mary Somerville, Winter 1817, page 122:
I heard more good music during this first visit to Rome than I ever did after; for besides that usual in St. Peter's, there was an Academia every week, where Marcello's Psalms were sung in concert by a number of male voices, besides other concerts, private and public.
