Think of q woman wanting 10 have near

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE MESSIAH.


1t is almost ten years since the messiah"
was given by the Haydns in City Hall, with
accompaniment by the Germanians, but it is
three years ago last April that it was given
in Union Hail with Mrs. Fellows Soprano
Mrs. Morrison contralto, Mr.. A. E. Pencil
tenor, Mr.. J. b. Coyle, Jr., basso. Mr.. Kotz-
SEMINAR was conductor and Miss Fannie Jor-
dan pianist Last night it was given in the
Stocdbridge course with Kotzschmar, of
course, as accompanist Harvey Murray
pianist, Mrs. Fellows soprano, Mrs Goudy
eontralto, Mr.. win Stockbridge tenor, and
Mr.. ]. b. Coyle, Jr, basso. The Germani-
ans furnished the accompaniment.
The work in which of all others, Handel's
epi-dramatic treatment somewhat approaches
the epi-lyric style of Bach, while at the same
time it brings out the distinguishing chacter-
istics of both in the fullest light, is the Mes
siah which was rejected in London, but af-
forwards enthusiastically received in Dub
lin. Herder says 'the design of the work is
itself sublime. universal veritable Christ
ian epor i'll music.' The first part treats
of the promised salvation of mankind
through Christ; the second and most import
ant part of the work sets forth the life, suf-
ferings and resurrection of our Lord, in
succession of Sublime images to which is APP
pended the contemplation of "things that
shall be hereafter'-death resurrection.
Judgment and life eternal. Handel has COM
bined all these in one grand trilogy, himself
selecting the plain unadorned words of HOLY
Writ for his theme. Taking up from the
narrating single voices the solemn themes of
sin and suffering, consolation and hope,
atonement and salvation, the mighty chorus
pours forth the deep sympathies as it were,
of the whole human race. Thus the chorus
unto us child is born" the world famed
Hallelujah chorus, the elaborate concluding
chorus worthy is the Lamb are the most
striking portions of this wonderful MASTER
piece. The pathos and touching simplicity
OF the airs Comfort We my people," HE
shall feed his flock" He was despised," 81
know that my Redeemer liyeth," and others
matehless oratorio.
Last night the various choruses were rem
dered, as they always have been by the Hay
dns, In admirable style. Not only was the
shading most carefully attended to, but in
the celebrated numbers, particularly the
HalleluJah Chorus the sustaining power of
chorus and soloists was simply grand Mrs.
Fellows sang with great expression the
familiar Il know that my Redeemer lveth,"
and Come unto Me-" Mrs. Goudys rich
contralt0 gave HE was despised" with great
beauty of expression and simple dramatic
force. Mr.. Coyle gave why do the Ma
tions. with great dramatic power and bril-
liancy, and Mr.. Will Stockbridge sang with
much sweetness. The orchestral accompani-
ment was, of course all that could be desired
and the little pastoral symphony was given
so perfectly that it raised the audience to
| something like enthusiasm, although gener-
| ally speaking, it was cold.
