Music Notes: Sacred and Popular Concerts

Pietro Mascagni and his magnificent orchestra will give a grand sacred concert at the Alhambra Theater this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Rossini's "Stabat Mater" will be sung with a quartet consisting of Mrs. Davis Northrop, soprano; Mrs. M. E. Blanchard, contralto; J. F. Veaco, tenor; G. Wanrell, basso, and a chorus of 150 voices, consisting of the leading church singers of this city, with a large orchestra under Mascagni's direction. This will make a notable record in the musical annals of San Francisco. In addition to this there will be a number of orchestral selections, including Mascagni's now famous "Hymn to the Sun," from the opera of "Iris," and the intermezzo from "Cavalleria Rusticana." The prices for this concert are $1, $1.50 and $2, and seats will be on sale at the Alhambra all day.

In the evening a monster promenade concert of popular music and the composer's works will be given at the Mechanics' Pavilion at popular prices, 50 cents, 75 cents and $1.
