“The Nativity” Given
By Verse Choir,
Choral Group
“The Nativity” a Christmas
choralogue, was given by Miss Pee
bles’s homeroom and members of
the Mixed chorus in chapel Mon
day, December 3.
The program opened with a
Christmas choral medley sung by
the Mixed chorus. Next, the Mixed
chorus sang the invocation, “Lord’s
Prayer” by Malotte.
The choralogue consisted of four
episodes. The first was a prophecy
of the coming of the Christ Child,
recited by the verse choir. The
Mixed chorus then sang Prae-
torious’s “Lo, How a Rose E’er
Blooming”.
The second episode, divided into
two parts, was a story of the Christ
Child’s birth, given by the verse
choir with Elmon Russell as Jo
seph. Between the parts the Mixed
chorus sang “Sleep of the Child
Jesus” by Gavairt and ended the
episode with “O Holy Night” by
Adams.
The Vision and Quest of the
Shepherds was next with L. C. Cau
dle as the angel, and Keith Drye,
Alvin Holt, Vonderyl Hall, Roy
Holt, Joe Whitley, and Ted Rum
mage taking the parts of boys.
Then the Mixed chorus sang “West
minster Carol”, qn old English
song.
The fourth episode was entitled
“God Manifest” and told of God’s
Glory. This was also by the verse
choir. Then the Mixed chorus
sang “Ye Watchers and Ye Holy
Ones”, a 17th Century German
song.
The program closed with “Silent
Night” by Gruber u.sed as a medi
tation.
The program was under the di
rection of Miss Peebles and Mr.
Fry.
