He has already written numerous
works for church service. but his ora
torio work has surprised all the salons
OF music. He is modest man, and
the reception which Venice gave his
work disconnected him, and his face
plainly showed confusion as he bowed
his Acknowledgements to the vast au-
dlence.
He is the son of village organist,
who gave him his first insight into tho
vast realm of music. At an early age
he showed talent. and when but eigh-
teen was organist at Monte Casino.
A wealthy Milanese then sent Perosi
to the Conservatory at Milan and to
Germany. -Four years ago he replaced
Tebaldini as Director OF the ROYAL
Chapel and School OF Singing, as we'll
as organist at San Marco, in Venice.
When only twenty-three years old he
was ordained priest.
