We drove leisurely to St. Paul's, and were in time for the afternoon service. The organ has lately received an addition of pedal pipes of the largest size, descending an octave below the original notes. These, under the gigantic tread of Cooper, have conferred a grandeur upon the instrument never surpassed. Fortunately, the anthem was one of all others I wished to hear, that celebrated production of Dr. Blow, ' I was in the spirit on the Lord's day.' The ideas of this piece are of an elevated nature, but unequally written. Were it recast, and developed by modern instrumentation, it would rank as an imposing composition. |
