The oratorio Society has made its Sc
lectlons for coming study OF this season
and Monday evening should see oil
members In their places ready to begin
the earnest work which characterized
the first part OF tho year and to which
was due the good showing made at the
February concert. That che compost
lions to DO studied and 10 be presented
In May are exceptionally beautiful both
In score and libretto, Is assured on
merely reading the names OF composers
and selections as appended: Fair Ell

as. However, q more definite, idea OF
each may not be amlss, as the increas-
Ing popularity OF such works Is shown
by the fact that the largest and most
favorably known oratorio societies
Throughout the country are giving
them. This is particularly true of The
Swan and the Skylark." which will be
sung this season BY fully dozen OF the
leading societies. It Is a most beautiful
work, written In tho style OF the French
composers, Astounding In beautiful solos
for soprano and requiring soloists in all
four parts, soprano. alto, tenor and
bass. Fair Ellen" by the greatest
living German composer, Max Bruch, Is
a dramatic cantata Of great strength
and beauty. It is story OF Scotland
and the famous siege OF Lucknow. It
Is written for soprano and baritone solo
and mixed chorus. The orchestration,
like that OF most OF the composers OF the
German school, is very expressive and
adds not little 10 the dramatic inten-l
sity OF the work.
The oratorlo Society desires to in
crease the size of It's chorus for the May
concert. New members will be receiv-
ed on Monday evenings for the next
three weeks.
