Concert of Church Music, will be performed at Mr. Burns's
Room, on Tuesday the 9th of January 1770. For the benefit
of Mr. Tuckey.
First Part.
Some select instrumental pieces chosen by the gentlemen who
are performers; particularly a Concerto on the French Horn,
by a gentleman just arrived from Dublin.
Second Part.
A sacred oratorio on the prophecies concerning Christ, and
his coming; being an extract from the late Mr. Handel's
grand oratorio, called the MESSIAH, consisting of the
overture, and 16 other pieces, viz. airs, recitatives, and
choruses. Never performed in America. The words of the
oratorio will be delivered gratis (to the ladies and
gentlemen) who are pleased to patronize and encourage this
concert, or may be purchased of Mr. Tucky by others, for six
pence. As it is impossible that a performance of this sort
can be carried on without the kind assistance of gentlemen,
who are lovers of music and performers on instruments Mr.
Tucky will always greatfully acknowledge the favours of the
gentlemen who assist him. Tickets to be had of Mr. Tuckey,
at eight shillings each.
