Concerning the Elijah.

keokuk's musical circles are await
ing with interest the rendition of
Mendelssohn's grand oratorio, THE
Elijah by tbs Monday Music club
chorus, which is to take place in the
Presbyterian church on the evening
Of Thursday, March sixteenth. Some
thing regarding the composition of the
oratoiio and It's first rendition will,
therefore, be of grea,. interest to our
people.
The text OF THE Elijah" %as first
planned by Mendelssohn in 1887 and
in. 1912 from letter, it develops that
he was still at work, remodeling and
pcrfecting it. The oratorio was writ
ten for the Birmingham festival and
the text was translated fror. the Ger
man into the English by Mr.. Barthol
omew. It's first performance occurred
August 20, 1886 at Birmingham, Eng
land The success of the concert was
beyond all expectation. Mendelssohn
in letter to his brother in Berlin,
said: 1T was quite evident at the
first rehearsal. that they liked it. Dur
ing the whole two hours and a half
that the concert lasted the audience
OF 1000 people and the large orches-
ira and chorus were SO intent on the
one subject in question that l could
sway at pleasure the enormous ag-
gregation. Not less than four chorus
and four airs were encored.'
Nyok fLc4o Jn1c Il Ia
light with the performance, he was
not satisfied with the oratorio as a
whole and afterward he made num-
erons changes in it, rewriting entire
portions of the work. 1t is interesting
to know that the beautiful trio, Lift
Thine Eyes" was originally duet and
very different in character from its
present form The text was mainly
compiled from the First Book of
Kings. Hitler says that the idea of
the oratorio was first suggested by the
verse in the nineteenth chapter: BE
hold the Lord passed by One can
imagine the dramatic power of the
oratorio when such scenes as "draught
prophecy" the raising OF the wild
ow's son. "the appearance Of rain"
"Eliiah's disappearance in the fiery
chariot" are unsteady treated by such
composer as Mendelssohn. The
oraforio can well be called sacred
opera and it could be placed on the
stage and make a powerful impress
sion ''The Elijah is without ques-
tiqn Mendelssohns masterpiece and
the grandest Of all oratorios.

surprise and disappointment. The an

for the city of Mexico, had given rise
for hope that the worst was over and
peace was a, last in sight. The presi-
