work 1t is both difficult and brilliant but
so grateful that the club looks forward to
a triumph second to none in its history.
Contrary to most masses designed for a
like purpose. Verdis music abounds in the
very qualities that have made his operas
the most popular in the world. He de-
1nands voices of unusual range, great eX-
preston and unlimited variety of color.
The orchestra is of the fullest and most
flodern equipment and all possible devices
for obtaining different choral effects
from unison passages to intricate eight
part double choruses are employed.
Abundant extra 'rehearsals have been
called by Mr. Ober Hoffer for both orches-
ira and chorus. The soloists will be Miss
Shanna Cummings, soprano; Mrs. W. N.
Porteous, contralto; Edward Strong, ten
or, and DR.. Carl Duff, bass. The sale Of
seats will begin on Monday morning at 9
o o'clock at the Metropolitan Music Store.
