Preparations are being made by the
Students chorus Of the national uni
versity Of Christiania to visit America
next summer and to give the Americans
taste of genuine Morse music. Inc
plans are about the same as those fol
lowed by the Lund students last summer
and the Norwegians expect to equal the
success achieved by their Swedish
cousins. T. -.
The students of Christiania, like those
Of Upsala and Lund, in Sweden, are
famous singers. They have not often
sung out Of Norway, however. In 1889
the chorus went to the world 3 fair at
Paris and it was the general opinion
that their singing Of "Olaf Trygvas-
SON. was the best chorus work at the
fair. They attended the exposition in
Paris in 1900 and again made a dis
tinct success.
The chorus has for some time been
under the direction Of O.. A. Grondah]
and presumably is still. He is an &C
complished musician and capable di
rector and when the chorus is ready tc
start for America it will be able to in
terpret Norwegian music in a worthy
manner.
The chorus will number from forty tc
fifty voices. The tour is already as
sured, as fully one-half Of the expense
money has been raised and Gustace
