Haydn S Passion FRIDAY

MUSIC for Holy week at Universalist
National Memorial Church has
been chosen from compositions of two
of the great world masters, Wagner
and Haydn. The last of the series of
Wednesday organ recitals by DR.. Albert
w. Harmed, organist and choir director
of the church, will take place at S
O'Clock, and will include the Prelude
to 'LohengTin;" the Liebestod, from
Tristan and Isolde;;" Elizabeth's
Prayer, from "Tannhauser," and the
Holy Grail Scene, from "Parsifal"
On Good Friday evening at o'clock
''The Passion" by Joseph Haydn, will
be sung by the National Capital Choir,
and double solo quartet, under DR..
Harned's direction. This oratorio, so
seldom heard in the Capital City, was
composed about the year 1785 by Haydn
at the request of clergyman at Cadiz,
who asked him to write instrumental
music to "The Seven Words Of Jesus
on the Cross" to be used in the cathe-
dral during the Lenten season, as was
the yearly custom in Cadiz.
This cathedral service was given
against a background of black, even
the walls, windows and columns Of the
vast ediflce being hung with black cloth.
Only one large lamp, hanging in the
center, lighted the religious gloom. At
noon, with all doors closed, the music
began. After prelude, the bishop as
cended the pulpit and pronounced one
Of the seven words, which was succeeded
by reflections upon it. As soon as he
had concluded, he descended from the
pulpit and knelt before the altar. The
pause was filled with music. The bishop
assembled and descended again, a sec
ond time, third time, and so on, and
each time the orchestra filled up the
intervals in the discourse.
So Haydn wrote seven adagios, each
OF which was to last 10 minutes, to
serve as the connection between the
reading OF the seven words. Originally
the music was without text, but later
Haydn added the words and called the
oratorio 'The Seven Words or Our
Redeemer on the Cross"
One of the features of this rendition
next Friday night will be the adher-
ence to the old custom of the Cadiz
Cathedral, in the reading of the seven
last words by the minister, Rev. DR..
Perkins, preceding each part Of the
oratorio.
The National Capital Choir's double
solo quartet comprises Irene Koehl and
Grace Groves, sopranos; Jessie Masters
and Marjorie Soper, contraltos; Howard
Ludwig and Charles Beardsley, tenors;
Warren Adams and Robert Ferebauer,
baSSoS.
