ANCIENT CAROLS
WILL Be REVIVED
Music Festival Chorus to Give
Free Concert of Medieval
Music December 29.

The old Christmas carols that re-
sounded through merry England in the
thirteenth and fourteenth centuries are
to be revived in Atlanta this holiday

written, will be sung to the fifteenth

changed. The Coventry" carol dat
ing from the thirteenth century, will be
on the program, as will "Goou King
Wenceslas," fourteenth century French,
and others Of the same period.

ton of the medieval original Of TEN
pus Adest Floridum," The quaint
words Of these carols are known to all
students Of the poetry Of that period,
bu the music will be new to all ears
in Atlanta. It is said to be as simple
and picturesquely beautiful as the
words.
The music festival chorus is now en-
gagged in rehearsing these carols. Meet
1ngs are being held every Monday night
at Gable hall. The membership includes
some of the finest singers in Atlanta
The association is aiming to increase
the chorus eventually to 400. and a free
season ticket to the opera in the spring
will be given to all members who join
now and remain actively in the organ
izatlon. DR.. Percy j. Starnes, city or
ganist, is director Of the choir.
