FIRST WORK ENDURING

It was first performed at a concert
given for charitable purposes at Dub
lin, Ireland, on April 10, 1742, Handel
conducting the performance in person
According to the historical evidence,
Handel knew that the Dublin orches-
trl and choral resources were by no
means on par with those of London,
andwas markedly Influenced by this
circumstance in the composition of his
work. In his choruses he did not go
beyond four-part writing, and kept his
orchestra within the most modest
limits, so that no instrument except
violin and trumpet plays a solo part.
and oboe and bassoon do not appear
at all in the score, although these in
struments participated in the perform
ance, as was proved by later dis
covery of orchestra parts written for
both. Thereafter Handel, beginning
with March %, 1743, brought out the
messiah every year in London with
great applause; in the course of time
he made various alterations in certain
numbers, set several new ones to mu-
sic, transcribed few arias for differ
ent voices, but left the work as a
whole unchanged, both vocalIy and in.
strumentally, from its original form
thus bearing witness that, despite its
limitations, this primitive conception
of the work was likewise the endur
ing one.

ASSOCIATE MEMBERS AID
SUPPORT W.C.S. WORK
Society Indebted to the Associate
Members for Financial and
Moral Support

In order to launch any enterprise Of
the nature of the Willmar Choral So
ciety, to finance and place it upon an
operating basis, it becomes evident
that the public, the citizens Of the
community must lend their aid and es-
pecialy their financial aid. This has
been very strongly true of the W.C.S.
When the society was organized it
was decided that solicitation of as
sociate members should be Initiated
without delay, each such member to
pay annual dues of 81. The first cam
paign for members ended with the
incomplete solicitation of the business
section of the city. Much has yet to
be done in this work and in the near
future our citizens will be requested
to express their good will in taking an
associate membership.
The canvass of the business district
resulted in over 100 members who
have paid their annual dues. These
associate members merit the grate-s
full appreciation of the Willmar Choral
society, for their public spirited sup
port and we take great pleasure in
announcing to the public this excel
lent list of the present hackers of the
W.C.S. in, the city of Wllmar.
The work of the society will not
stop there, however. 1t aims to secure
at least 500 associate members. A
comparatively small part of the avail
able field of associate members has
been harvested and many citizens,
when approached, will be glad to en-
list themselves in the support of the
singing organization. After the new
year. it is expected, another. campaign
will be conducted and the present: list,
of associate members is expected to
be very materially swelled.

METROPOLITAN PAPER.
IN FAVORABLE COMMENT
Minneapolis Sunday Tribune De-
votes Much Space to the
Willmar Choral Society.

We read that the Willmar Choral
society, composed of los active mem
bers, and between two and three hun
dren associate members, will give
performance of the "Messiah" during
the Christmas holidays. This is but
beginning, for, headed by the Rev Mr..
Mccullough as president, the society
has become a recognized civic organiza-
ton, backed by the entire community.
1t is sort of good music movement
to improve musical taste in school and
home Willmar> is to become the cen
ter Of musical development for terri
tory radiating from it in every direc-
| ton. AS an example of interest, one
member of the chorus travels SO miles
to attend each rehearsal.
Influence Reaches Far
With a new organization like this,
it may not be possible to carry out
very extensive plans this season. If
however. only two evenings of choral
interpretations are given it means
much: but the definite establishment
of a permanent choral club means
much more, for there is no telling how
far it's influence may reach.
David Nyvall, recently appointed
leader of the Elks Glee club and Uni
versity Clee club, is the conductor of
the chorus, and his optimism over the
possibilities of the club and his enthu-
siasm over the quality of the voices at
his disposal. is an inspiring comment
on the kind of support he is getting
from everybody concerned. Mr.. Nyvall
expects to organize choruses in at
least four or five other communities,
andWhen this is an accomplished fact,
he further plans to bring them to-
gether in musical affair of some kind
in this city, which may take the form
of choral contest. Whatever the fu,
ture may hold for development along
this line it is clear that the leaven of
choral singing is beginning to work
and we may anticipate rapid advance
during the next decade.
Soloists for the Willmar Messiah
performance, already selected are
Clara Williams, soprano, and Agnes
Rast-Snyder. contralto. Miss Amy
Friedlund is secretary and Miss Nell
Robbins, accompanist. g:

PROF. NYVALL CONDUCTS
NOTED ELKS' CLEE CLUB
Vacancy Left by the Death of Dr.
Rhys-Herbert Capably Filled
by Prof. David Nyvall

Among the places left vacant by
the death of DR.. Herbert, one of
the most conspicuous was that of d.
rector of the Elks' Glee club. With
the remarkable success of this organ
ization DIR. Rhys-Herbert had for years
been intimately connected, and his
death left profound uncertainty as to
who could be found to carry on his
work.
It is now announced that David N.Y.
vail, Jr., director of the school of mu-
sic at Minnesota college, has been: ap-
pointed as director of the Elks' Glee
club to succeed DR.. Rhys-Herbert. The
selection is likely to be an admirable
one Mr. Nyvall is a talented and ex-
perienced musician, with an exception
al knowledge of music, with marked
ability as a teacher, and he has been
successful as choral leader. Above
all, he is a man of vigor. energy and
ideas, and has proved himself capable
of translating his ideas into action
through the medium of hard work.
Pianist and Choral Leader
AS teacher Mr.. Nyvall has had a
| varied experience, and now, in addi-
ton to his administrative work, is
teaching piano, theory, history of mu-
SIC and the relation Of psychology to
music at Minnesota college. AS a pi-
anist he has appeared frequently in
recital and has been accompanist to
| such singers as Julia Claussen and
Marion Green. AS choral leader, he
was particularly successful in direct
ing the Ebenezer Choral society of
Chicago and received high praise in
the Chicago papers for his work there
AS a composer, he has shown his
scholarship by a series of arrange
ments OF Bach Inventions" for two
pianos, and his originality by various
songs and other compositions some
of his songs being for poems written
by his father.
Mr.. Nyvall is thus we'll fitted tc
carry on the excellent work done with
the Elks' Glee club by Dr. Rhys-Her
bert, and the club has become SO con
spicuous a local institution that his
success in his new task will be mat
ter of interest throughout the whole
community.

printed in the issue of Nov. II of The
Minneapolis Daily News. ~
