TT HE celebration of Easter as OBJ
l. served in the city churches is in
great part with services of song. Elab-
crate programs have been arranged for
the day, including solos, anthems and
cantatas of a high order of merit In
the ritualistic churches the entire
| Easter service is sung or chanted by
the choir. Preparations for the EasteV
music have been under way for weeks,
and the results this morning will prob
ably surpass anything of the kind ever
attempted in this city.
/ An anthem that will be sung i'm sew
eral Of the local churches today is
| '"They Have Taken Away My Lord A."
/ by Stainer. The favOrite soprano solo
| for Easter is Il Know That My Re
| deemer Liveth," by Handel Other
songs that will be heard today are He
/ Is Risen, by Shipper; "HOsanna" by
Granier. and Shelley's Resurrection. %
/ Two hymns that have a special Easter
| significance and that are usually in
cluded in the Easter service, are Jesus
/ Christ Is Risen Today" and "Hark
| Ten Thousand Voices Sounding" The
/ beauty and sacredness of the music
that has been composed for the ceIe-
/ bratiOn of Easter exceeds that of all
other festivals of the year.
/ The favOrite music for the evening
services today are the cantatas, Of
/ which a number have been prepared
/ by the chOiPs of the leading churches.
and they will be presented in full with
prominent musicians of the city sing
| ing the leading solo parts. In some
/ cases orchestral accomplishments will
| add to the beauty of the music. Be
| cause Easter is pre-eminently the fes-
| tival of song. the sermons and lessons
| OF the day viii be shortened, and in
many cases omitted altogether to give
| time for the heightened musical pro-
grams that have been prepared.
While ii is sometimes thought that a
desire to see the decorations and new
/ gowns plays d part in attracting the
nOn-regular churchgOer on Easter day
much more is due to the music, which
Is the best that can be heard in church
during the year
