FOR HOLIDAY PROGRAM
st. Marks Church Making Prepara-
tiOns for the Christmas Holidays.

| In preparation for the Christmas
season, the choir of st. Marks is hard
at work on some beautiful and elab-
crate music appropriate to the festival
character of the events celebrated by
| the church during the holidays. The
two chief services will be those at
midnight on Christmas eve and on
Christmas morning. Details of these
programs will be made public later,
but mention may be made here of the
Te Deum in B Flat by Dudley Busck,
an exquisite composition, full of mel
ody and characterized by number OF
rarely effective solos, and of the Offer
tory anthem which will be taken from
Gounod's Redemption" 1t is called
Lovely Appear over the Mountains
and contains magnificent soprano
solo. In addition to this anthem, sew
eral solos will be sung from Handels
Messiah It is to be regretted that
none of the splendid and stirring
choruses from this best and most
loved of all oratorios can be sung
this year, but the solo work will be
good beginning in the right direction,
and perhaps by another year the choir
may be able to produce at least two of |
the superb choruses.
Owing to the unfortunate fact that
many members of the choir will be
out of town during the holidays,
special service of music will be given
at the regular vesper hour this week
On Sunday afternoon at 4:30, instead
of the sermon, there will be short
of music. That program is
given below. The public is cordially
invited to be present to hear the sew
eral anthems and solos.
