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 sixteen 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. Tuckey,
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. Tuckey will always gratefully
acknowledge the favour of the gentlemen who assist him.
Tickets to be had of Mr. Tuckey, at eight shillings each.
To begin precisely at 6 o'clock.
