It was during his visit to Oberam-

hours Of the Savior's life on earth. AS
he saw the Christ, bearing the burden
Of the cross toward Calvary. he was
almost overpowered with the pathos
and solemnity of the scene. The deep
impression Of the play was never eff
faced from the young composers mind
and the great central theme Of the ora
toria took root in his mind at that
time. 1t was not until last fall, how
ever, that he started what has proved
to be so great an achievement. Mr..
Bergquist's first thought was but a
modest cantata with perhaps four or
five numbers, but as the work grew and
took shape score after score was added
until now it consists Of fourteen num-
bers, each one being subdivided into
several component parts. is ~. ~
The first five numbers were com

March, when it was again taken up,
and was completed. So far as the vocal
and piano score was concerned, about
the middle Of April. The composer is
now hard at work on the orchestration,
which will be finished during the win
