the force of the wind instruments. The writer noticed two circumstances in the Abbey band in the year 1791, worthy of remark: first, the great softness with which the songs were executed, although 377 stringed instruments accompanied the single voice, such was the lightness of the effect that they did not overpower or incommode it; second, from the great extent of the surface from which the sounds emanated, they were diffused through the atmosphere, so as completely to fill it.
