O'BanyOun's
Observations

One Of the outstanding
events of the year is now
history. I refer to the annual
performance of 1.-THE Messiah"
by the choir of Peoples Bap-
fist Church, which took place
last Sunday night. The audi
forum was crowded to capa-
city, as usual, and the PER-
Torrance the best ever. Each
year seems better than the
year previous and that is in
the nature of things. But this
year it seemed to be so good
that it is hard to see how flu
ture years can be better. The
chorus was superb, phrasing,
ANNEXATION, nuances, all clock
ing like well oiled machine,
to the edifacation of the
hearers. Last week l described
the rehearsal as majestic.
This week I can only call the
performance apprenticeship
II there is no such word, just
use that until a better one
comes along, The soloists were
in keeping with the chorus dis
playing musicianship of the
highest quality. The orches-
ira was most pleasing. And
the little mite of humanity
and soul who welded all these
units into a we'll night per-
feet production was probably
the smallest person in 1t from
a physical view point. Florence
Heggie Taylor Clio to mel
handled the ensemble as a
skilled machinist operates his
machine, and the congratula-
tons and plaudits of the in
spired audience were most Ii
heral for the dignified, super
majestic evening OF musical
feast. The soloists were La
Verne Weston, soprano.
GWendolyn Belle, contralto,
Irving Hunter, tenor. Robert
! Watson, baritone. The or
chestra: Elwyr Adams, LIST vio-
