LARGE CLASSES STUDY THE
GREG0RIAN STYLE OF MUSIC
Members of All Catholic Church
ChOirs in Two n Take
the Lessons,

the LcssOnhs
The attendance that has thus far
greeted the Gregorian summer school at
st. Mary Magdalene's hall, Nineteenth and
Dodge streets, has more than met the an
ticipations of the instructors. A class OF
forty-five constitutes the morning organ
lists school, with about twenty at the aft
ernoon school and 10 at the evening sing
ing classes. These singing classes come
from all the Catholic choirs of Omaha and
South Omaha churches and the singers are
enthusiastic in the work. Father Gregory
Huegle, o. g.. B., is the teacher Of accom-
paniments and Father sigisbert Burkhard,
o.. S. b., teacher of singing.
The first idea of the schoo is to pro-
duce true church music, not sensual or
operate and still not merely religious, but
it must be liturgical and related to the
sacrificial mass, with the sacrificial idea
ever present." said Father Huegle.
1T was Motu Proprio, who on November
%, 1903, gave the true idea of the Gre
gorian chant, which is the standard by
which all Catholic church music must be
measured. The pope has decreed that the
Gregorian chant must be the principal fea-
ture of the repertoire Of Catholic church
music as far as possible. The idea is to
divest it of nationality and make II uni
.versal-catholic. 1t is Invested of meas
ured technique, but is specially auditory
and declamatory. The ultimate hope is
to induce congregational singing. The idea
is not a new one, but simply a restoration
Of the old congregational idea OF singing
that prevailed in the Catholic church uni
versally prior to the fourteenth century,

Omaha is growing fast

Any city developing as fast as Omaha is, affords the safest
home investment.
Realty values are very low compared with other cities, and
with the building of sky-scrapers, amusement houses and large
wholesale houses, real estate prices will soon be much higher.
Our advice would be to buy now while the prices are within
your reach.
Today the real estate dealers advertise their best home bar
