Summary

SACCHINI, A. M. G. P. 208 b, add that the opera of ‘Oedipe’ was performed at Versailles, Jan. 2, 1786.

SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY. P. 210 b, 1. 4 from bottom, for only read first. Add that the original society was dissolved in 1882, its last concert being a performance of ‘Solomon’ on April 28 of that year. At the sale of its property its Valuable library was acquired for the Royal College of Music. Some members of the committee determined to resuscitate the society, and the new institution was incorporated in 1882. Mr. Charles Hallé was appointed conductor, and in 1885 was succeeded by Mr. W. H. Cummings, who had, up to that time, acted as assistant conductor. In the autumn of 1888 the new society ceased to exist.

SAINT-GEORGES, J. H. V., Marquis de. Add day of death, Dec. 23.

SAINT-SAËNS, Charles Camille. Add the following to the article in vol. iii.:–Since the article was written, the composer has produced two important dramatic works, ‘Henri VIII’ (Opéra, March 5, 1883) and ‘Proserpine’ (Opéra Comique, March 16, 1887), neither of which has kept the stage in spite of their real musical interest. The former, after a successful series of representations, was twice revived without success and almost immediately given up; ‘Proserpine’ was received with marked disapprobation, and only played ten times.
