beginning to end. Much Of the music il
familiar, the tenor aria "If with all your
hearts" the quartet Cast thy burden upon
the Lord, that masterpiece Of choral writing
Thinks be to God" the angel trio,

Lord" being the best known The
sol oists are to be Nine. Basta Tavary, soprano;
Miss Minnie Behune. contralto; Mr.. Payne
