Gala Winter Weekend Planned For Elon Students
LdTge Crowd
Hears Choir
In ^Messiah^
In a perfoBTiance which featured
faculty and alumni siging stars as
guest soloists, the Elon Singers
were received with high praise by
a large crowd in their thirty-second
annual presentation of Handel’s
immortal oratorio, “The Messiah,”
which was given in Whitley Audi
torium on the Elon campus Sunday
afternoon, December 6th.
One of the largest crowds of re
cent years heard the presentation,
which was given in a beautifully
decorated setting. The big audi
torium lent itself to the Yule sea
son spirit, with decorations of
greenery and pink poinsettas, taste
fully arranged about the stage and
in the windows. The decorations
were by Miss Hkiith Brannock, oi
the Elon College home economics
department.
Many of the audience had heard
the Elon Singers present "The
Messian” ntmeeous times in tne
past, but, as always, tney were
thrilled by the musical story of the
prophecy and anticipation of the
coming of Christ, of his suffering
ant death on the cross and finally
of his glorious resurrection.
The 1964 rendition of the Handel
masterpiece was again under the
direction of Prof. Wendell Bartholf.
who made his first appearance on
the podium last year after joining
the Elon musii faculty for the firs,
time. Prof. Fletcher Moore, dear,
of the college, was again the organ
accompanist, a role which he has
filled for many years, always in a
manner that gives pleasure to his
hearers.
In addition to directing the ora
torio, Professor Bartholf also ap
peared as tenor soloist for the pro
gram, one of four guest artists who
sang with the Elon student group
Three Elon alumni artists joined
him in the solo roles, and their
were a number of other ISlon alumn!
who came back to the campus to
sing once more in the choir’s an
nual holiday season program.
The other guest soloists were
Charles Lynam, bass, of Greens
boro, now a member of the music
faculty at High Point College; Mary
Anne Johnston, soprano, of Elon
CoUege; and Patricia Melton Hoel,
contralto, of Miami, Fla. All had
appeared in “Messiah” presenta
tions in student days, and Profes
sor Lynam had also made earlier
appearances as soloist and also as
director in years when he was teach
ing at Elon.
