No doubt in time Many other sounds will be heard in the same precincts but glorious Han these. The gentler strains of Messiah Lave been a Solace in the past. Its sturdier passages have kept alive Hope and Faith. 600-voice choir on this occasion a choir of 600 voices and an excellent orchestra conducted by Donald Leggat gave a Fine presentation of this Well loved work. The balance of parts was unusually Good and there were Many times during the evening when the choir Rose to great Heights of Fine choral singing.

Her artistry is evident in All she does and her gauging of the probable acoustics of the huge Arena was completely effective. Her voice reached every part of the House without sacrifice of tone Quality or effective interpretation. Her singing of i know that my redeemer liveth so vocally pure was most moving. Contralto Gladys Kriese was heard to Best advantage in her aria he shall feed his flock but she evidently did not take into account of the Hall. Norman Farrow Sang the Bass solos with clarity and expedition though not always in the Han delian tradition. He too was somewhat at a disadvantage in the Arena. Sung with clarity Winnipeg Tenor George Kent was quite at Home in his Messiah work. The opening recitative and air. Comfort be and every Valley were Sung with clarity and authority As was the air but thou did St not leave. Here again the voice was Bright and the form authoritative.

They predict that reason will prevail and the German speaking Saar Landers will approve the plan to Europe Anize this formerly Ger Man territory by a very slight majority just a Shade Over 50 per cent. Meanwhile the pro German forces continue to make unlimited use of the word traitor to describe the pro european Saar Landers Al though they do not describe West German Chancellor Konrad Ade Nauer As such for having signed the Saar Europe animation agree ment with France. Rather they say that he was blackmailed by the French into doing it As the Price for ending the Western occupation of the Bonn Republic.
