Bartlett, was rendered here Sunday night by tho Elon choir and choirs of Burlington. The cantata was the most beautiful of its kind ever presented at Elon. It took up the life of Christ at the time He was betrayed by Peter and followed on through the crucifixion and resurrection. The music was very descriptive of the text and the audiences which heard it were able to follow the thought all the way through. The men’s section of the chorus was a special feature of the cantata. This was perhaps the largest number of men ever used iu a cantata here. The chorus was assisted by nine soloists, whose work was of the very highest order. Besides the chorus and soloists there was an orchestra of ten pieces. The people who heard the cantata here say it was the finest thing in the w’ay of a cantata ever presented at Elon. The cantata was given at Burlington on Monday night at the First Christian church before an audience that thronged the balconies. The people of Burling ton were unanimous in their praise of this musical number and prominent musicians of that city stated that it was without doubt the greatest thing in the way of a sacred cantata ever presented in Burlington.
