During Lent the principal amusements are Church Ceremonies, the Academy of the Arcadians; the Academy Tiberina; the music, (which begins about three o'clock every afternoon, and is especially good on Fridays,) at S. Peter's; and Serletti's Concert, which consists of a pianoforte and about twenty singers, who manage so as to give their voices the effect of a full band of instrumental music. They chiefly perform the Marcello Psalms; so called from a noble Venetian who composed this music, which is particularly fine. In the Church of Gesù, likewise, there frequently is fine music during Lent. |
