voices. Each section OF the chorus
acquitted itself With great credit and
they are entitled to the highest
praise for the Work that each did.
The Messiah was given under the
direction OF Emory ". Hobson. OF
the Dakota Wesleyan Conservatory OF
Music, aui he handled the baton
with precision and skill. He has
been working with The chorus since
last fall, and ii was the idea to
present the oratorio during com
mencement week in June, but when
The Thomas orchestra was coming in
May Mr.. Hobson hsld more frequent
r%ehearsalS 10 have it ready for that
date. His chorus responded TO his
Instructions thoroughly and he was
greatly elared at the splendid manner
in which the Oratofio was given. Mr..
Hobson is thoroughly familiar with
the music and bis Interpretation
was a very pleasing one He did
himself d great honor in presenting
SO fine a musical production and tue
University is to be congratulated tor
having such a capable man with the
department of music. In his re.
hearsals MIR. llobson was assisted
very materially uy Miss Fannie j
Mccormick, who presided at the
p iano in a very capable manner and
also during the presentation of the
%oratorlo.
The work of the orchestra through
out the evening was Of u very high
character. adding volumes to the
accompaniment and making the sue
cess that much greater. The orcheS-
ira members spoke in the highest
terms of the singing and they we're
free to remark that it was the best
rendition Of the Messiah that they
had played for this season, and that
they were very much surprised TO
find as capable a chorus in a town
the size Of Mitchell.
With such a splendid foundation
laid this year for the heavier musical
roles it is to be hoped that IN the
future years the choral club will be
maintained and strengthened-in
which we are inclined to believe the
public will heartily cooperate.
