The programs are devoted entirely
to good music, ancient and modern,

compositions Of Gluck, Mendelssohn,
Schumann and Brahms, as well as
those of the Modern French and Rus
SLAMS: then possibly a group Of folk
songs, and chorus Of Haendel. Wagner,

he has instilled in his chorus o love
for good music His men sing for
recreation. but gladly undergo q great
