THE COMING OF THE KING. Apropos of
Dudley Bucks 1.-THE Coming of the King" to be
given in the Unitarian church Sunday after
noon by the Belfast Musical Society, the
Waltham Daily Free Press Tribune has this
to say of its performance in that city:
at was not surprising that after the chorus
had spent so much time in the preparation of
Dudley Bucks 1.-The Coming of the King
under the conscientious direction of the or
ganist, congregation SO large as to require
the opening Of the vestry should gather at the
service of even-song in the Universaist
church Christmas Sunday afternoon to hear
this beautiful cantata given. The work is a
refined and interesting one, and is among the
recent compositions by this most eminent of
American writers of church music" After
flattering mention of the soloists the Press
Tribune continues: Exceeding credit is due
the orga ist, not only for her Accompaniment
and registration, but for the direction of all
the parts to produce, as whole, a work which
we are proud to realize can be thus given by
musicians of Waltham. The parts were even
ly balanced and the choruses vigorously sung.
The use of typical motives is happily carried
out to a limited extent, especially in the ques-
tioning of the Magi. The motive of Herod is
forcibly employed here, and is thrillingly
heard when the organ announces it for the
last time, after the chorus of women has sung
its lament in funeral march time, as from
distance, and with utmost expression for
Helod's cruelty has caused the lament. "The
Plains of Bethlehem" is skilfully written,
while beautiful piece of counterpart is the
canon between soprano an alto in the chorus
advent" For the benefit of many present
who desire to hear the Cantata again, and
especially those who were unable to attend
the same program will be repeated at the Yes
per service service.
The same paper afterward reported: "The
Cantata, 1.-THE Coming of the King" was re-
peated at the Vesper service with all it's
former sweetness and inspiration, and the
largest congregation that ever met in the
church thronged the auditorium and overflow
ed into the chapel. Many stood during the
service and some who were unable to secure
seats went awav"
