A GREAT MUSICAL TREAT

The Christmas Cantata entitled:
Christ, the Child" given by the choir
on Sunday evening December 20, was
a feast of enjoyment and profit to a
large audience which taxed the seat
ing capacity of the church.
The rendition of the Cantata was a
beautiful retelling of the story of he
Advent OF the Christ. The introduce
ton was the visit to Mary at the
Quint old city of Nazareth. by the
Angel of the Annunciation rendered
by soprano. tenor and contralto solos
with conclusion of chorus: HE Shall
Be Great"
The visit of the Wise Men from the
east to Jerusalem saying: Where is
He that is born King of the Jews" was
rendered In baritone and soprano solos
with response by quartette and chorus
Of tenor and BASES In unison followed
by the Choral March: Onward. Ever
Onward"
The Shepherds watching their fiocks
on the Judean hills was a beautiful
and impressive rendition consisting In
part of Meditation" (piano) Holy
Night, Peaceful Night" Baritone solo
And It came to pass In those days
there went out a decree from Cesar
soprano: And there were In the same
country Shepherds abiding In the
fields" response by chorus gently: I'm
shadows lie the sleeping hills"
Tenor solo: And suddenly there
was with the Angel a multitude of the
heavenly hosts" male chorus: LET us
go even unto Bethlehem and see his
thing-which the Lord hath made
known to U.S."
Contralto solo: sleep and rest,
Jesu blest, low in thy humble man
ger bed-Dreaming there, cherub fair,
bright as the CLEAN of thy rising star;
angels bright, yelled in light. whisper
ing tales of thy home affair.""
The conclusion was the return of the
Shepherds, clarifying and praising God
rendered as a tenor solo inc a jubil-
ant Grand Chorus: GLORY to God in
the Highest'-"Alleluia Amen"
The rendition required more than an
hour in which the closest attention
was given by the audience. Many ex-
pressions of praise were spoke con
veying a testimony of appreciation as
well as congratulations to Prof. Wr-
was and the members of the choir.
Those who were fortunate to hear the
Christmas Cantata will look forward
with keen anticipation for another
evening of sacred song.
