Matinee Music Club.

The Matinee Music Club met in
harmonious session with Miss Vivian
Woodrow Saturday afternoon. Miss
Pauline Barney led the lesson, "The
Oratorio and It's Composers"
With the APPROACH Of Christmas day
one seeks to shut out the discordant
clamor of busy world and to listen
intently for the joyous notes OF the
first Noel, "Glory to God in the high
est, and on earth peace, good will
toward men," as it comes ringing
down the centuries, filling and thrill
ing the heart of humanity. In this
attitude of hallowed expectancy,
with thoughts turning to the sacred
significance of the Yuletide, the
study of the oratorio, that species OF
musical drama founded upon scrip
tural text, is a subject in keeping
with the times.
Haydns Creation" with its in
spring, .The Heavens are Telling"
Mendelssohn's Elijah" with its COM
forting, "Oh Rest in the Lord" and
Handlers Messiah" bursting forth
into the exultant "Hallelujah Cho-
rus" cover in chronological order
three periods of sacred history. From
these inspired works we receive a
vision of the worlds first sunrise, we
share the revelations of the prophet
hood and hear the re-echo of the An
gelic Chorus, as it swept down in
raptufous grandeur from star
strewn sky.
