To render any of it requires more than voice and technique; and to have rendered it as St, Andrew's Choir did last night marks 'a milestone in the musical history of Oshawa, Such a triumph of shee beauty spiritually rendered is the crown of choir director's service, Mr. Henley was warmly congratulated after the service for the achieve- ment which, though an honor to each participant, would have been impossible with direction even a shade less great, F. L. Plant of Toronta was the organist, thus leaving Mr. Henley free for the leadership of the choir and his own noieworthy contribu- tions in the bass solos. Mr. Plant is a great organist with an exquls- ite appreciation of the dramatic in music. Lights should be dimmed when he is at the keyboard of a worthy instrument so that the ma- jesty of his art may, as far as pos- sible, seem divorced from any hint of mechanics of instrumentation which produce his effects. The organ set the high standard of the aratorio's rendition at the beginning.

A moment later one im- agines a voice singing in the dis- tance, and them John 'W. Deacon, tenor soloist of the Knox Presby- terian Church, Toronto,, began that incomparable "Comfort Ye My People™. Sung as Mr. Deacon sang it, this opening solo of the "Messiah" is probably the most precious of its jewelled splendors. No one with an imagination trained in biblical lore can hear it and not feel a sense of mountains overlooking the proud, the beautiful, the erring, but ever divinely-loved city of Jerusalem. One envies those who know their Isaiah and are hearing Handel's setting for that psalm of hope for the first time, One of the illustrious things about the "Messiah is its blending of solo and chorus, and in that solemnly sweet "Behold a Virgin" solo which was so splendidly rem- dered by Miss M. Cassleman, mes- gosoprano, the chorus followed with "O Thou That Tellest Good Tidings". Precious Words These words are Isaiah's, but they are 'also English words, rich with the shade and depty of Shakespearian age. They are mel- ody in themselves, and the chief of them is "Tidings". Perhaps the etymologists will disagree, but there's sea-faring and white sails in it. A tide, and a ship come home. Mr. Henley's finest personal cen- tribution to the prograss was, probably, his number "For Behold Darkness" and then that song of the ancient prohpecy which told of those who should, walking in darkness, see a great light. Man's elemental fear of = night lived in that first number. The organ car- ried its own message of the shadow of death, and through it the voice of the singer emphasizing the ter- rors of that which is the soul of chaos, Then the relief, for such drama may not We too long contin- ved, the bold prophecy of Him who should ba "a light to Gentiles", Mrs. Grant Rerry, soorano, had the honor of siuging that part of the *Messiah" which is founded vpon the Annuniciation to the Shepherds, for honor it is--wheth- er in v-rds or song--to retell the gtory ce" that first Christmas morn- 'nt wlon Isaiah's prophecy of the Prince of Peace was confirmed by t"e ravs of the Star of Bethlehem. ha ehomsus tent up th: anreel's "Glory to Gnd" with a brillianey parhaps surpassed, if it was, by their rendering of the "Hallelujah Chorus", the group n the 53rd with that art &) 0 LN -) ' Uv 2) U v) v of WARDS | ¥/ ¢) a) ba NJ L J PAGE AIL TERE GLAD TIDINGS FOR THOSE WHO PLANTO GIVE TABLE LINENS 150 PURE IRISH LINEN TABLE CLOTHS at fully 1-3 less than regular, mostly k $2, Size 2 x 2} yards $4.65, $5.95, $6.65 Size 2 x 3 yards $4.95, $5.95, $7.45 25 doz.
