SOPRANO SOLOlST IN
The MESSIAH

This latter organization has performed
the work az piOus duty every year
since 1874 and the custom of an annual
performance, borrowed from London, had
been followed for some time before that
by the Oratorio Socicty's predecessor
in London the custom was established
by the Cecilia Society in l79i and was
continued by il until 1861.

dates back TO January Q. 100. when

was set by King George II In 1913
George IL was a good deal OF an imbe-
Gle. but he said one inspired thing when
he remarked Of the Pastoral symphony
which precedes the story Of the nativity
in the oratorio that one could see the
stars shining through it," This exquisite
bit Of music, as all students know, is
founded on Calabrian pipers tune
