ORIGIN AND GROWTH
OF CHORAL SINGING.

Chorus singing Is one of the Oldest OF arts
we have illusions to it as remote as our
earliest literature.

Sing unto the Lord. for he hath triumphei
Gloriously.' a song Of thanksgiving and ex-
altau"n that they had been delivered from
the hand OF Pharaoh?
Is not Miriam. with the timbrels and the
singing women, a familiar figure to every
ina gination?
Tic Psalms are full Of illusions to con-
certed singing.
With the Greeks the matter was not
merely a custom. but already a science.
The paean was as FAR from crude as their
other contemporary arts. which for obvious
reasons happen to he better known to us.
1t is well known what an important part
the chorus played in the Greek drama.
The inspiration Of all ancient music. as Of
sculpture nairtirg architecture. was re-

script.
The universal inherent craving for some
expression of worship has been the germl-
mating and fostering spirit OF al arr.

Then he walked out OF tho room. and he
