EMMANUEL.
This evening at O'Clock, at Union Hall,
the Haydn Society will produce DR.. Parry's
oratorio of Emmanuel" on which they have
been at work the past season. The solos will
be taken by Miss Milliken. Mrs Morrison,
Messrs. Stockbridge and Mcclellan. The Lon
don Morning Standard says:
"Wales, if we mistake not, will have reason
to be proud of her latest musical production.
DIR Parry's oratorio, Emmanuel" which was
performed at st. James Hall last Wednesday
night, is work of large dimensions, and of
very high aim and as DIR. Parry has entered
the loftiest domain of sacred music, he must
of course, expect his work to be judged from
the highest standpoint, without reference to
nationality, or TO anything else beyond the
work itself, but 10 the place 1t is fit to occupy
ia British art. We shall next week record the
impression made upon us by the oratorio at its
first performance, though of course it is never
safe to pronounce final opinion on such
slight grounds. 1t is however, hopeful sign
that the principality has produced, in DR..
Parry, a composer whose aim is high, whose
knowledge of the technique of his art is extern
sive, who realizes his responsibility to art on ac
count of the opportunities before him, and
who has risen so far above common ideas and
mercenary objects as to ATTEMPT to write a
work of such magnitude and Importance as an
oratorio of the nature of Emmanuel" To
compose such work requires much zeal; to
publish it demands much courage; and to es-
tablsh its hold upon even the smaller and
more essentially musical public will take
years. even if DR.. Parry lives to see this result
