The sacred cantata. Bethany" by
DIR. Rhys- Herbert will be sung at the
Agricultural college, March IL. 1t
promises to be prominent musical af-
fair. The chorus Of the college has
been hard at work on the production
for several weeks and win doubtless
present the cantata in an acceptable
manner. The chorus will number
sixty voices and Is well balanced in
the various parts. The college orches-
ira which will play the accompani-
ments now numbers twenty-five pieces
as follows: VioIins, Violas, cello, bass,
flute, oboe, bassoon, clarinets, trum-

| principals is as follows: Mary ESQ.,
prano) Miss Edyth H. Grasse; Martha
| (contra1to) Mrs. J. A. Jardine; Laza-
rus (tenor) Paul Bunce; Jesus (bari-
tone) e. r. Orchard; disciple( bari
tone) Professor Beckwitn, a messen-
ger (tenor) Mr.. Brander.
| Tine great armory at the college
will make an ideal auditorium and
will be- seated for the best effects. A
stage 25x36 feet will be built at the
west end Of the armory and with
chorus raised at the back wilI accom-
odate the ninety participants in a
very satisfactory manner.
The music Of the cantaaa is of
very pleasing character. The chorus
es are not difficult of rendition yet
are effective and in places grand jr
their swing. The opening professional
chorus will long linger in the minds
Of the hearers. The solos are of
character to appeal to all classes of peo-
pie. They are full of melody yet are
expressive of the text in a peculiarly
musicianly manner. The night Of
March IL will mark decided advance
in the musical life of the college.
