Notes
Notes
Review in the British Whig highlights:
"a sect professing to be Christians, are more grossly sacreligious, and more absurdly ridiculous."
"Songs were sung in unison, not in chords, although the Singers were six in number; and the effect was peculiar and somewhat unpleasant."
"There was nothing Yankee at nasal about them, though extremely monotonous."
(British Whig, 4 May, 1847, 3)

Programme Notes
Religious songs and dances.
"Melodies were all old English tunes, and chiefly in the minor mood, and strongly resemble in character the songs of the May Day Mummers, Harvest Homes, Morriss Dancers, and Christmas Carols of the north of England" (British Whig, 4 May, 1847, 3)
