...well adapted to extended treatment, and the effect of this movement is one of strength and sustained power. The adagio seems at a first hearing more rhapsodic, although there are episodes of beauty and imaginative power.- Mr. Hancock possesses an agreeable voice, carefully cultivated; his enunciation is particularly distinct. He entered well into the spirit of each song in his group. Mr. Locke's "Song of a Dream" exhibited a sustained lyric mood, with an admirably varied accompaniment.
