A GREAT MUSICAL TREAT.
OratOriO "The Messiah" to be Pre-
sented Here by Chorus of 1876
Voices and Orchestra of
35 Pieces.

While the census does net rate
Decorah as one of the larger cities
of the country, yet in nearly every
thing that goes to make up a large
city, DEBORAH is at the forefront.
And along musical lines especially
does Decorah excel.
Imagine town of 1000 people
having two concert bands, one of a
hundred members, the other twenty;
imagine town of 1000 people CIV
ing the great oratorio, 'The Mes
siah,' with a chorus of enc hundred
and sixty-five voices, accompanied by
an orchestra Of twenty-five pieces,
and you have Decorah, the most
beautiful, the most modern city Of
its size in America.
Tuesday evening, June goth, at the
Grand opera house, under the di-
rection of Prof. Carlo A. Sperati, the
wonderful musical director at Luther
College. to whom the credit for De-
corah's prominence along musical
lines is due, "The Messiah" will be
presented. Twice before this same
oratorio has been given under his
direction, as we'll as others. The
this presentation will be still great
er success than any of the preced-
ing ones may be taken for granted,
for Prof. Sperati always does better
than he has ever done before. One
hundred and sixty-five voices will
sing the soul inspiring choruses of
this great oratorio, and twenty-five
instruments of harmony will play the
accompaniment.
But two of the soloists have been
engaged, but they will be the best
the country produces. Miss Esther
NJ. Plumb of Chicago will sing the
contralto parts, and Mr.. Edward
Walker the tenor. Both of them are
singers Of national renown. An eff
fort is being made to secure Mr.. Mar
ion Green of Chicago, formerly of
Decorah, for the bass and a promin-
ent Chicago soprano.
