The next piece was from an anthem by Pergolesi, “O Lord, have mercy upon me,” a most beautiful solo of two movements; the first highly pathetic; the second, “But my hope hath been in thee,” cheerful and exhilarating. It was sung by Phillips with feeling and expression; but I did not think it well suited to his voice, as I had heard it sung by a contralto, which appears more appropriate for it than a bass. Yet no fault was to be found with his performance. |
