The cantata, "The Story of Beth
lehem," by John E. West, will be
sung by the choir of the new Chevy
Chase Presbyterian Church (east
side of the circle) tomorrow evening
at 1880 o'clock. This organization of
&c singers is approximately six
months old, but has accomplished re-
| suits exceptional in a volunteer
| choir.
The cantata has been sung In
| Washington but once before, but is
full of the richness which character
ICES all the works of the great re-
ligtous composer. A plaintive pas
torale relieves the two major
| choruses-the last chorus being
broken by a 1argetto movement of
great appeal. There Is but one tenor
| solo, while the bass solo work fs al
most entirely recitative. Through
out the work recurs the majestic
theme with which the organ intro
duces the subject.
The first part of the work will fol-
low the ancient plain song, "Veni
| Emanuel No. L." sung as a process
sional, while the Christmas hymn,
brightest and Best of the Sons of
the Morning." by Harding, will be
used for a occasional. The organ
numbers viii be Meditation
(Dwry), ''He Shall Feed His Flock
0rom 'sThe Messiah'), and March Of
the Magi" (Dubois)-
