No doubt it is Siruc that scriptural narrative inter with defective that have no pretensions to be defined As poetry is not the highest form of the musical dramatic Art. Concert Man May protest that oratorio Means Itu Bete noir of the Box office a but intellectual audience. Oratorio like Sha Keppe Are May be elsewhere but certainly it invincible bar gains Ter last , heavy glory was eliciting the it greatest appreciation butial his were rendered in capital style a this being particularly with the Recita Tives which were Given with of style that betokened thorough a. In t in Winnipeg. It the Knox Church auditorium last night when i Hydu s creation was Given under test la perception. In the creation the mimicry of natural sounds is carried to great lengths and these imitations a while showing great skill on the part of the composer makes the music Attianesi almost grotesque. It is in the parti for Ore Solo Bass that this is most apparent. The sinuous creeping s apparel. E of the worm the Roar of the lion the rag ing of tempestuous storms All Are included in the. Bass Arias. Unlike the la . Direction of or. Rhys Thomas. In Tho majesty of its theme the is second Only to the Story do Trio divine passion and it understandable that in its ii on the popular mind and imag Tion it takes rank second Only to if in massive strength choruses Are not the equal of Umi e of those in Handel s master us a and if few if any among its Fri s compare with some in Elijah tie nevertheless they i i built Many of surpassing Beauty. Tie instrumentation of the Cre a i in is without a Superior in either us Reil or secular composition. It is in Conception and its Success promises to he As permanent As it was rime Diate when More than a Century Haydn then an old Man of by seventy conducted its initial i performance. Night s rendition was above before All things a personal trl u Liph for or. Glenn Hall who had the Iii lie Noe under the spell of his Fine o be in every one of his solos. In Cimi cerament and in training or. is an artist to his Finger tips. I one pc his Arias was an sex ainu la of fished vocalist. His voice a is under perfect control and his Tieu Laton and phrasing were a de ii in to the ear. The three principal Arias now vanish before the i ill in splendor Bright native Worth were All a ror died a Fine reception. The declaim Niiori in the second was splendidly and for the last or. Hall to acknowledge the applause but it was in the miscellaneous numbers that formed the third i. It of the programme that or. Hall completely captured his audience. As encore to the Zujus an Man from s Stab at he Sang thu rebuke hath broken his heart the and the dead sir .

In response i Hail Sang Comfort be and Ivory that an audience Hnulik remain until after eleven c Hork to hear sacred Ort Ito Rio music at the Best indication of Winnipeg s appreciation 01 or. Hall As a vocalist. Of the two other is remarkable in that it does include a contralto Well known and favorite singers til Tho City. Mrs. Verner was at her in with verdure and the marvellous and her Light but t Bible Soprano was heard to splendid advantage in these and the three to of or. .3ioncrieft never Soprano solos these sounds Are not capable of musical interpretation acid their i irritation must always Dis tract from vocal value aha detract interest. Or. Moncrieff s singing of these descriptive solos was in every sense effective and satisfactory and the incongruity of the attempt to interpret them musically was not notice Able. V the weakness of last night s presen tation was undoubtedly the chorus. It numbered eighty voices. While the Quality of the tone proc hired was All that could be desired it was conspicuously lacking in body Ana solidity. A double Quartetti would have Fine i the auditorium almost As Well. And Lack ing As it was in volume it was deficient in Energy. The choruses were Given with mechanical Correct Ness and with almost mechanical Apa thy. The ensemble effects possible with nigh a Hundred voices were looked for in vain. The choral work was wanting in both expression and color in the lord is in which the accompanies the to to of principals the latter were overborne by the massed voices and the same a feet was noticeable in tie marvellous tvo of the creation choruses awoke the Harp and achieved is the for Orlouis Are among Hie most difficult in oratorio and in Bot i the sopranos showed signs of tiring and of inability to hold sustained High tones. One of the Choi uses from Elgar dream of was Given m the miscellaneous portion of the gramme. It was its initial Tion in Winnipeg. It a Beautiful composition but it is Safe to say Bat it will be Cav Iare to the it is musician s music was never composed to please the people who whistle Hia in its character it is reminiscent of Gregorian music. It opens with a. Plow sustained move ment includes some Fine effects and concludes with a very effective pianissimo passage. Its Ren Dillon last night was the Best of All the choruses it being Sung with Fine expression. Miss ionian Mayhew s accompaniments on the Organ were beyond Praise and the same May be Sand of miss Mary l. Robertson s piano accompaniments. The Beauty of the solos was enhanced by the music anly work of these ladies and the support of the Organ to the chorus was of. The most helpful character. Owing to the cancellation of an Gage ont at St. Paul. Or. Glenn. Hall Nas found it possible to remain another Day in the City. The committee have availed themselves of this upor Tun it to Eive another recital of Crea Tion to night. Or. Hall will substitute other numbers for those he Sang lost night in the miscellaneous por Tion of the programme.
