The crusade for music has crystal
lied into the most ambitious under
taking that FOR many years has beel
launched IN Albuquerque. This is a
Christmas oratorio The Holy CITY
in which the Woman's club chorus,
the High school Choral club, and
leading artists OF the city will par
ticipate. The program will besn ~
eight o'clock ia the high school audi
forum next Friday evening.
The treatment OF the subject OF this
work is almost entirely reflective, the
more dramatic parts of the book
from which many OF the numbers are
taken. viz, the Vision Of 81. John hay
ing already been treated IN so mas
terly a manner by the great German
composer. Louis Spohr, in his Otatoiic
The Last Judgment
The first part OF the The Holy
City" was suggested by the passages
Of scripture. Here have We no con
tinuing city" Thy kingdom come,
and sets forth the desire for a higher
life. as expressed IN the words,
sould is athirst for God, which desire
Is followed by other passages express
i've OF the perfection OF tho higher
life, such as Eye hath not seen.
The second part was suggested D.
the words. Il saw a new heaven and
a new earth, for tie first heaven and
the first earth were passed away thus
realizing the desire u promises con
tanned IN the first part.
With the exception Of TWO 3mhs
a verso from Milton, and three verses
from the Te Deum, the words arc en-
tirely scriptural.
