Excerpt from The Monthly Review, or Literary Journal, Enlarged: From May to August, Inclusive, 1798; With an Appendix We listened attentively, and were delighted with the melody, which was as striking as unexpected. It seemed to be a religious hymn, sung by a great number of voices, for the most part sweet and har monious. Solemn and simple, it was not, like our church-music, interrupted by pauses at the conclusion of each line and stanza, but continued, and without a break, varied only by fine swells and d ng falls, and the regular observation of the piano and the forte.
