entirely of the writings OF Bach Q6S5-

analyZlng the men and their works, will

wonder that the old favorItes, Barna
bee, Mcdonald, Cowles, rockingham

Serenade" as sung by the Monks, was
worth the price of admission alone. The
play hinges on the beautiful song ~
love thee, adore thee;" in otter words

ingenious in the extreme. The musical
author, Victor Herbert. is well known
to Wheeling audiences. through his
