From that time to 1876, this oratorio was prudently laid on the shelf, but in 1876, Walter Bache decided on giving it one more trial, and he fixed on Osgood for the soprano part. On the night of production, the house was packed with critics, musicians and vocalists, all come to witness another failure. There was no doubt in the minds of the audience that they were about to see a second catastrophe of this ill-fated oratorio. The issue, however, was a success for Osgood. The press were unanimous in their praise, and all predicted a fine career for the young soprano.

time was occupied; she sang at Mann's concerts, and in the aria, "Gliicklein im Thale," and in Weber's " Euryanthe". At a concert in Exeter Hall, she sang a new song composed expressly for her, entitled "Two by Two," by Nicola Ferri, and was encored several times. Osgood made her greatest hit in 1881 at the State concert given at
Buckingham Palace on June 2, in an aria from "Tristan and Isolde," of Wagner, in a trio with Albani and Patey, and in a quartette from "Martha," with Patey, Guyarri, and Lasscalle. Osgood was also chosen to sing a verse from "God save the Queen," striking the top B flat with great exactness and effect.

The most notable performances were at Kuhe's Festival in February, when Beethoven's "Mount of Olives" was again given. Osgood sang Randegger's "Medea," at St. James's Hall, for the Philharmonic Society. In June was given the Shakespeare Memorial Festival at Stratford-upon-Avon, where she sang, with other things, Bishop's setting to "When the Cold Winds Blow." At Christmas, 1879, Osgood again sang at Liverpool in "The Light of the World," by Sullivan.
238:, Osgood sang in most of the principal oratorios, "Messiah," "Creation," "St. Paul," with much success. She also sang for the first time in Boosey's ballad concert, and brought out Sullivan's melodious ballad, and "My Dearest Heart". In the autumn of this year, she sang for the first time at the Leeds Festival in "Samson," "The Creation," and in Austin's " Fire King."

Christmas, in Liverpool, in the "Messiah," and in many other concerts. In the summer of 1878, she was engaged for the State concert held at Buckingham Palace, but the death of the Queen of the Netherlands caused the concert to be postponed.

Early in 1878, Cowen's "Deluge" was given at the
Brighton Festival, with Beethoven's "Mount of Olives." In both of these oratorios Osgood sang. In March, she went to the US, and sang at the Festival of Cincinnati, and Worcester, and in Canada, twice in oratorio, and also in Theodore Thomas's concerts

It was said that Osgood's voice was perfect throughout its entire range; every note was distinct, full, and rich. But her especial feature was the depth of ringing tone of her lower notes, which gave her great advantage over other oratorio sopranos. Osgood also excelled in ballad music, in which she

During 1880, Osgood sang at
Charles Halle's concert at Manchester; at St. James' Hall in the Bach choir concerts; in Joseph Hatton's reading, when she sang Sullivan's "My Dearest Heart," and Cowen's setting to "The Better Land". Up to her second visit to the US in August, 1880, the whole of Osgood's
