Monona Lake Assembly.

The management of the Monona
Lake assembly is making every
arrangement possible for grand sue
cess for the year 80. One of the
principal features of the assembly will
be its musical department. Dr. H. R.
Palmer, of New York, will have charge
of the same, and has prepared some
music especially for this assembly.
of the state that he wishes to augment
the assembly choir next season, and
prepare them beforehand for much
better work than ever before, and for
that reason he makes this proposition:
In order to accomplish the desired
results, the secretary, j. E. Moseley,
of Madison, will forward the music
free of charge to all who pledge them
selves to study it carefully, and attend
the assembly from July % to August 2.
The music is prepared by DR.. Palmer,
and selected with the greatest care, and
is, perhaps, the choicest selection that
has ever been put together. The
musicians of this state have never
before had such an opportunity offered
them.
The circular which is being sent out is
an appeal to the musicians of the state
to interest themselves in the matter.
The latter part of the circular, which
includes a partial list of music to be
used, is as follows:
There were about $50 singers in our
chorus last season. We would be glad
to greatly augment the number this
year, and at the same time increase
the general efficiency of the choir.
VIII you second our efforts in this
| direction? Let the musicians of the
state rally and join in a grand sacred
music festival at Monona.
The following is a list of the music
for the great choir:
| Gloria from Twelfth Mass ........... Mozart
Waited for the Mendelssohn
jerusalem PaTkeI
1 Unfold Ye Portals Everlasting from the
Redempt1on) ......-.....-....-...... --.-.GOunOd
Sing, Heavens Tours
Charity (for female chorusl. Rossini
Bring Psalms. Faure
4 0 Zion, that Bringest Good Tidings Stainer
Gypsy Schumann
Fair Bruch
/ Hear Ny Mendelssohn
We hope to receive and early and
favorable reply from you, and urgently
request that you exert your influence
to induce all good singers to attend the
assembly.
1t is signed by Willett S. Main, pres
ident, Madison, and H. R. Palmer,
director, New York.
