This engraving depicts a rehearsal in which the choir are  singing a chorus from the Oratorio 'Judith'.  The chorus begins "The world shall bow to the Assyrian throne."  The Oratorio is said to have been written by Willian Huggins, a friend of the artist, and the music composed by William Defesch.  The conductor, in his enthusiasm, has lost his wig.
