Choir Of Christ Episcopal Church
Will Render Cantata Tomorrow
Night.

One of the notable events in mod !
ern church music is the revival in
interest of what is known as Pas
sion Music, wherein is described in !
inusichl phrase, the sufferings of
our Lord and the. tragic events Of
Holy Week.
From time immemorial the custom
Of recitation and the chanting of the
Gospel relating these events has
been followed, and even as early as
the fourth century We find the Begin
nings Of crude form Of services,
which in succeeding centuries was
developed in the Italian churches in
to something approaching the ora
torio form.
IN the 18th century various Ger
man composers produced settings OF
1.-The Passion and, abandoning the
strict ecclesiastical forms of the ltal-
:ans, gave to the Gospel narratives
greater freedom Of expression, de-
veloped the solo elements OF the
various participants, and introduced
4 the element Of the populace. or the
!, contemplative. multitude, by utiliz-
: ing the chorales which were TO be
sung by the congregation.
The culminatien of ALL these com
positions. is found in the monumental
york of Bach. the St. Matthew Pas.
sim, work OF such great ,proportio'
that only the largest oratorio socie'
ties ever undertake it.
For the average church choir
many smaller works have become
available in recent years, and les
elaborate services by Stainer, Gaul
! Maunder and other composers arc
now frequently used. but they al!
arc modelled after the great Passion
/ by Bach.
Of these smaller works, none has
achieved the popularity of Stainer':
"Crucifxion," as it is sung in nun
dreds Of churches Of all denomlna'
lions during the close Of Lent, ana
il embodics in modest proportions
all the features Of the greatest sci
-ines Of the Passion; the narrative
hv individual voices. the various
numbers for the chorus, the Sever
Last Words" sung not by an indi
yidual voice but in choral iorm,
feature borrowed from Bach's Pas
: sion Music and also the hymns 0!
| chorales sung by the entire congreg;'
ton,
Il Stainer's cantata was written 10
the small parish choir of boys am
men which are 50 general in the Eng
| fish churches and in these choirS
the soprano and alto solo voices ar
seldom available, hence the wor;
s,1fers from a certain monotony u
all the solo and narrative portion
/ are written for mems voices.
The work as it vii! be given !.
| Christ Church on Friday night ha
been arranged by the Choir dlrecto
and made more practical for mixet
voices.
! Several of the solo numbers ahf
also the duet will he sung by te'
male voices and in inc three ana
| four part choruses for men. the mrs,
tenor part will he sung hy the altos
custom much in vogue among
Welsh societies and many welsh
compositions have been written Ton

Two familiar hymns from the ny

sresation may have its share in the

Two bullets from Sa.caliher revolver struck MT Morgan before he grappled with the assassin. With the aid of butler in the Morgan home, Morgan ovorpower el his attacker and surrendered him 10 the police.

 Holt arrived at Glen Cove this morning on the S:5S train. He hired an automobile and went to the Nor gan home on Matinieock Point. He rang the bell, and when the butler answered, announced that he was "an old friend'i of the fiuaneiel and wished to see him. Reports 0, the succeeding incidents vary. One l is that Hole was refused admission, but that he pressed a pistol against his way into the hall, where he saw Morgan and commenced shooting. An other version is to the effect that he had no trouble in gaining admission.
 The account of the shooting was that he went to the door and asked to sec Morgan, saying he was an old friend, that word was taken to Mir Morgan ! that someone wanted to see him. that Morgan came out of his breakfast room into the main hall, and that i'm mediately afterward the intruder shot at him.
 l Dr. W. II. Zahriskie of Glen Cove,
 who was the first physician to reach
 Morgan home. examined the bank CTS wounds and said he believed thev were not necessarily serious MT. Nor gan and his wife and daughter went
 to their summer home near Glen Cove after the marriage recently of his son Julius Spencer Morgan. Matini- cook Point, whene the Morgan home is situated is almost surrounded by
 water, and is about two miles from
 the central part of the village of Glen Cove.
