of Orleans" beginning with a May fes-
tival at Boremy, France. where she
was born. In the midst of the flowers
and song, Joan appears, saddened by
the fate OF her beloved country and
hearing THE Voices" which bid her
give her very life for it's help. Finally
securing the necessary aid, Joan as
sumes mans garb, a suit of armor,
sword, banner and steed and soon af-
ter entering Orleans with her army, the
siege is lifted and there is much re-
joicing among the French. Other vic
tories follow before the hour of re-
Versal when Joan is captured and led
to execution at Roueus.

have been retained in the oratorio-
the May of Inspiration; the May of
Victory the May of Fall and the May
of Sacrifice.
