gentlemen, of credit and character in this city, there will
be a concert of vocal and instumental music, at Mr. Burns's
new room, on Thursday the 30th instant; to begin at 6
o'clock in the evening. This concert will consist of
nothing but church musick, in which will be introduced, a
new Te Deum, Jubilate Deo, Cantate Domino, and Deus
Misereatur, with an anthem (in which there is an obligato
part for a harp, as there is also in the Cantate Domino,)
with several other pieces of church musick, intermixed with
other instrumental performances, in order to ease the
voices. The whole to conclude with a martial psalm, viz the
46th, Tate and Brady's version; accompanied with all the
instruments, and a pair of drums. N.B. There will be more
than forty voices, and instruments in the chorus. Tickets
to be had of Mr. Tuckey, in Pearl-Street, near the Battery,

gentlemen who sing or play on any instrument, to lend him
their kind assistance in the performance, and give him
timely notice, that there may be a sufficient number of
parts wrote out.
