ming.
The musical leader in a recent
article weaves a number Of inter.
esting romances out Of the lives
of werrenrath's ancestors and all
with church choir settings.
His father, George Werrenrath.
came to America from Denmark
with Charles Gounod, In 1876, and
later sang for two years In grand
opera at the old Academy OF
Music, New York. He was soloist
for seven years at Henry Ward
Beecher's Brooklyn church, where
he met and married Aretta Camp,
a concert singer OF reptile. who
also sang In the choir.
Her father for twenty-six years
directed the quarter: choir in the
"Old First Presbyterian Church"
and for fifteen years he was choir
master and leader at Plymouth
Church, in Brooklyn. His wife
was soloist at the Old Presbyter-
ian Church with him.
In the generation before that,
Nathan Camp played the bass viol
in the church of which he was dea-
con and his wife was a singer Of
importance. Another generation
back on Reinald Werrenraths
mothers side are two talented
musicians. Jonathan Camp. who
married Rachel Kiekok - more
church music-and in the sixth
generation the well-known Nicho-
las Camp.
On Reinald's fathers side, sec
ond generation back. are John
Peter Werrenrath. remarkably
fine bass voice. He married KRIS
ten Christensen, Of Bergen. Nor
way. who was a musician Of great
gifts. And other singers Of note
are found in preceding genera
tions.
They say Reinald Werrenrath
has become somewhat supersti.
tious of church choirs because Of
his ancestors experiences and his
history to date discloses no
church choir connections.

THERE'S a musical organiza-
ton in Washington whose
mission is not so much to pro-
mote community singing, as 1t
is to inculcate in the minds of
the citizens love Of good choral
singing.
This organization is the WASH
ington Choral Society. and it's
director, Charles 8. Wengerd, has
worked wonders with the organi-
xation of music-lovers he has
perfected since the war.
The Washington Choral So
ciety chorus is composed Of the
best voices in this city and on
many occasions has presented
choral works Of high order.
It is such organizations as this
that awake Washingtonians to a
full sense Of their civic pride and
give impetus to the movement
which all true music-lovers are
supporting to the best of their
ability--that OF making Wash.
ington the Musical Capital of the
nation.
THE Washington Choral Society
is planning to give Handel's
Immortal oratorio. THE Mes
siah," in Masonic Auditorium on
the night Of December Is.
Handel's inspirational work,
composed in 1741, was completed
in the unusually short space Of
twenty-four days. 1t was first
performed in London, in 1743, at
the Covent Garden Theater, and
at once assumed q position Of
musical importance and popu-
larity.
The Messiah" stands uniquely
as q colossal music-sermon Of
scriptural texts, alternating in
massive and overwhelming effect
to those Of impressive and appeal
ing tenderness.
No other musical composition,
Il II believed by the highest
authorities, has so enriched the
cause Of charity. Handel himself
directed this work annually, from
1850 to 1853 for the benefit Of the
