THE EASIER KINS A MEMORABLE PERFORMANCE' auditorium -packed to hear FIRST, METHODIST CHOIR n RENDER EASTER CANTATA ' — — — r The choir of the First Methodist Church, on Sunday evening, had the ii pleasure of anting: Ix-forc nn audi- a ence which packed the house to Its, " utmo.-t capacity. tl Chairs, were placed in the aisles, the c Sunday School annex was thrown ti open, and we saw that Dr. Allen Cor- tl sod, was with others, compelled to o. take possession- of the choir loft, the fi choir for the evening occupying an H improvised stage in front of the I* organ. The performance of -the Easter in King, more than repaid the audience for their attendance, it was a mem- 7 orable service of sacred song, reflect- j ing the highest credit -upon the sing- J ers ami the director. Prof. Harry H. J

take. "* The choir of the First M. E. Church have a reputation to maintain for choral jrhurch music; and lie it added, on Sunday they not only retained past J honors, but amtmulated i|uite a number more. The Cantata lends itself to very dramatic presentation. The entire scheme of the wprk is ambitions, and in parts unusually difficult, demanding the utmost care to keep the intonation pure. The chromatic is introduced freely, as might be exported, fur after all there is no other method of phrasing, which could be used to represent more effectively, the tears and sorrow surrounding the death ahd burial of Christ. And if anything • the difficult sections were performed the best, which furnishes ample proof of the care of Prof. Lake had taken ir. rehearsal. V>mmenting briefly upon the parts of highest excellence, in the performance the opening chorus, "Rejoice Oh Daughter of Zion," was very finely rendered. The lights and shades of interpretation were effectively executed, and where there were frequent repetitions of" the same words, the director very clearly worked out the contrasts avoiding the mere Hint of monotony. The chorus .however, which taxed the abilities of the singers to the utmost, as it would any choir, amateur or professional, was the one following the contralto sain, "But Who Shall Abide the Day of His Coming." The ■ general format of this particular chorus is extremely difficult, ilemand- . ing the exercise of extreme care on , the part of the director. Here we i think Prof. Lake excelled. With the part interventions, and the rapid ( changes of tempo, it would have been . easy for any combination of singers ( to force half a tone without the re- j straining influAce of the director. Another very effective rendition was given the hymn chorale. The three changes in the motive of the scena, 1 "The King's - Ascension, the -male ' voices acquitted themselves admirably. Not that the female voices were 1 less good, but the glory in this chorus ' is with the tenor ami bass, and the performance was pleasing. A i The grand climax was thrilling, < "Great and Marvelous Are Thy i Works." The choir rang out the pealing refrain until the auditorium t echoed. The martial charger of the { chorus was sustained wflEut the t least relaxation until the final Amen. r The soloists without exception were also good. Special reference should r lie made In tha vnii, -f ...... — ..j

made of power, , resonance, of the basso Walter Sher- - man. His rendition of the solo opening the ! final scena, "The Kihg's Fnal Glory," left nothing to be desired. Miss Ralston, in her solo, "And Jesus Went Into the Temple," was excellent. Written in a recitative i form, it is an extremely difficult score, j yet the singer gave a very intelligent ( interpretation and used her voice to good advantage. ; In the solo parts, perhaps the most • appealing vas the duet In thw "King's i Trial"; Mrs. - . n^Aon and Mi--. Rals- J iOi 1 P?Cxption which makes " i v"h more frequent r tor r'™ 1CarS' as indlc»<«l JSWFP* reports ln world a(55", most recent is by Rev.

ton could not have been improved upon ^-r the pari, well-balanced and blending very nicely. Russell H. N'ulty, in the opening of the scena. "The King's Victory," e\- , celled our most .-anguine expectations. > We still hey the ringing challenge j » of his voice, "I Know Thai M}*Tte- ' ileemer Liveth." So also did Dr. Thoriilev Hughes in the "Klqg's Ascension." His gradual acceleration of the tempo, ami the Rising of his voice to the final descriptive of Christ's Ascension- was singularly realifKc.

The tendency it to break the sequence of vocal parts. The reading on this occasion, however, wak so thoughtand tastefully rendered, by MisHazel Harris, that they added to the beauty of the performance. It was throughout a service of song the trueot sense of .the word. | PERSONALS,

J # If a phra;se common amonjf must- , e ctans may lie a;lmitte<l, ti-.c cantata j from tieginning to entl is delightfully f singable. It possesses those peculiar qualities -of musical composition, which woo the best out of a singer. ' With very little effort, notwithstanding the fact that the work is by no means easy, the singers throw them-, selves into tho work with perfect .■ abandon. t This was very marked in the per- t 1 formance given by the First Presby- 1 r teriiui Church ehoir. carrying. 1 the 1 1 splendid audience completely awav : ! ■ with them. ( 1 It excites nothing but woniler, how- s tlie choir and its able director, hav» ' been able to prepare twa. works of the • magnitude of this cantata, antl Dr. ■ Crucifixion, in so very short r I a period of time for rehearsal. , The performance deserves a lengthy s - anil detailed report. ""Unfortunately, v 1 lack of Space jwohibits anything more than a f ejr brief com- „ , . ments, upon the pertaQa which the s standard of excellence rose" highest. a The chorus, "Shades of Night Tall Silently," was almost a perfect inter- t] relation. The legato w as sustained ' p antl the illusion created of h : night with darkness antl solitude dosing around, was w;onderfully real- p istic. ,| "As it Began to Dawn," comes with f, sharp contrast. Very strikingly has the composer represented the earth | awakening out of the .-lumber of .V ' night, and very faithfully did the choir M reproduce the author's idea. w ln thia chorus in particular, as also M in the chorus "Hallelujah," did the Ji ehoir exhibit to good advantage its B versatility, and the director his — ability to tlevelope the finer shades of musical interpretation. The chorus "The Stone is Rolled Away," makes a strong appeal to the ^ emotions which perhaps a more am- jn bitious work could not do, antl the was very happy in the rendition.. ^ Coming to the rhorus, "Now is;'

MANNEY'S CANTATA THE. RESURRECTION GREAT SUCCESS 1, - '1 " FIRST BAPTIST CHOIR REACH ' f HIGH WATER MARK OF PER- -| ? TEC-TftlN JjN CHORAL ' eStiunwi . Never iwfore has the choir of the 0 1 First Baptist Church been heard to c greater advantage, as on Sunday eve1 ning, whoa. they gave their masterly ^ performance Nof Manney's cantata, 1 '"The Resurrection." . P ' 1 d ! The audience present was in point of numbers ami as hearers an inspira' r tion. The church was comfortably , and a spirit-of-jleep reverent ap-i^ predaJion, both of the choir's effort/ (| and the theuic of their song seemed/' -. all present. J n The performance throughout was _ superb, and reflects with infinite credit upon the singers and_ their able \ leader R. T. Crowder. Why should the theme of the . Crucifixion and the Resurrection be confined to just one Sunday during the C year? It is to be sincerely hoped the C ,' choir will lie induced to give a repeti- T . tion of this cantata, at no distant date. It seems no less than a crime, to put « so much effort and thought into a per- ii to be hoard just once, parI ticularlv when the theme i-Mne of su- U prenie importance, and applicable to d every day life. In the opening chorus, the choir dis- ti played to the very best advantage all )i its qualities. The chorus calls for q ^volume, clear accentuation, dramatic c presentation and the singers rose to (; the oc^ipsion splendidly. F Very Effectively indeed was the trio jy female voices, "Who Shall Roil p Away the Stone," Tlie perplexity of the women as the.v drew near the 1 A

grate was most faithfully reproduced. | Tlie solo. "God( Shall Wipe Away All Tears," was splendidly rendered, all the comfort and the consolation to j mortal men contained in the wostlbrnught out with good feeling. V Another selection of- wonderful possibilities, which was splendidly ren- : is the plaintive cry of Mary Magdalene,, sung by the soprano, "They Have Taken Away My Lord." This appealing song left nothing to )«• ' desired in the performance given. ' In fact, without enumerating indi- ! vidaals, the work of the soloisLs was I all through, of a very high degree of ' excellence, and the . choral ■ singing : could not lie excelled. / The morning service also had a prop-am of music of unusual merit. Sole.- and anthems were sung, and the pre.-wher of the day. Rev.
